About All On Board!
All On Board! is a VR platform powered by user-generated content where players will be able to create, share and play board games with friends. Getting together to play board games with your friends is great, and when that’s not possible All On Board! makes it easy. All On Board! offers a new way to experience board games, recreating online the experience of being in the same room with your friends, around the playing table, and interacting with each other. The platform defines a new way to create, share and play board games in a natural and intuitive way. All On Board! is coming for Meta Quest (no PC required), and SteamVR-compatible headsets in 2023. An exclusive beta for backers will be coming this Holiday season.
Create, share and Play
All On Board! will give you access to a wide library of board games, including officially licensed board games. Players will only need to purchase one copy of a licensed game to play with their friends. The platform also aims to help budding board game creators design and share their own board games using a set of free modding tools that will be available for PC (Windows). The modding tool is designed to allow anyone to create games without writing a single line of code in an easy and accessible way.
