Hey guys!

Has anyone ever tried playing Talisman through Skype with a webcam? Or other apps similar to Skype. I have a few friends who would love to play but they live across the states. I know that we have a beautiful digital edition that we can play but we really want to get our moneys worth from the hundreds of dollars we spent on all the expansions . Any pointers? I'm thinking just pointing my laptop camera towards the game board or something.

Thanks,

Crap... Spells.

Not a big problem. Keep the spells deck close to the webcam. You draw your far-away friend's spell by holding it up to the camera without looking yourself. If you have several skyping friends in the same game, you need to get a bit more creative. I'm not sure, but can't you have several different channels in Skype and choose which ones to broadcast to? In that case you have it solved.

Did a few similar seshes with a couple of friends (one who lives in South America) via Facebook messenger.

Got around spells by sending photos to each one indvidual,y and I kept their cards facedown.

Had to omit extra regions and mechanics, and it could take weeks due to the time difference and our own commitments but it was fun.
