Woah. Made one similar a few days ago. tablegame.org It requires login, and is based on webrtc. Free for up to 6 people.

Is this by invitation only? Sign-up is asking for a referral code.

Will definitely check this out. I did think about trying to roll my own no-timer version and possibly add other “low tech” games like checkers, etc.

  Say thanks! We've heard feedback about the timer too, so we're implementing more options and other board games too. Ours works in firefox/mobile for video chat no problem, but still may have some bugs.

Curious if the 6 people is a limitation of WebRTC? I'm building a video chat app on it now and would love to hear about your experience.

  6 is a limit for Janus webrtc( https://janus.conf.meetecho.com/ https://janus.conf.meetecho.com/) but webrtc itself can handle up to 12 it seems at 720p. It really is dependent on the bandwidth each user can support, unless you add in some backend concatenation like Zoom. (I helped with this)

    That isn't just a limit of the demo app to make it easier and is not a limit of Janus. https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/meetecho-janus/twW9fm55dfU https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/meetecho-janus/twW...

The home page has no information about which games it supports and how it works. You could screen record a session, post it to YouTube and embed it in the page.
- GPUboy 7y ago
  Thanks! We'll def do that. Do you have any suggestions on what games should be added?
  - caseyf7 7y ago
    Hearts, spades, cribbage, speed
    - GPUboy 7y ago
      Great, thanks! We've also heard cribbage before

    I'm not 100% sure about how it works but I guess that you can't include a board game ff you don't have any kind of agreements with either the authors or the publishers. Traditional games should be fine. Maybe if your video technology is good you can work at an agreement with the sites that already have them. A video chat could be something they could pay for.

      Thanks! Yes we were only looking at public domain games at first. A partnership would be great, since we could cross promote, and I'm sure a lot of people are looking to try new games.

I'd love to try out the poker option but rather not have to pay just to test it out. Also .. does "billed yearly" mean you have to pay at least 12 months worth?
- GPUboy 7y ago
  Hey, everything should be free right now while we're building, since there's bugs. There's a monthly and yearly, but likely we'll end up charging less for this when it actually launches. How much would be appropriate like $2/m? We want to make the video rooms free up to 6 people, and only charge for developing extra premium games.
