Dear nerdy board gaming friends:
I have a specific card game I'd love to play with a friend across the country while live streaming.
Is there a way to somehow do that?
For example, I thought of having my husband make two identically ordered decks, and then I could mail the other player one, and we could use our duplicate decks to play together (with some "promise not to look" activity), but then I realized you usually have to shuffle the discard pile and my scheme fell apart!
@grammargirl The perfect tool for this exists:
@peterdrake This is so close to what I need, and I'm hopeful something like this exists.
It's my own game, Peeve Wars, that has a 72-card deck.
This looks like it's limited to 52 cards. (Please tell me if I'm wrong!)
@grammargirl You can make custom decks! I did this when I designed my game Siva Afi: The Fireknife Dance of Samoa.
@peterdrake Did the deck you made have more than 52 cards?
@grammargirl Yes, 108.
You can see it in action on playingcards.io here:
@peterdrake Thanks! The video is really helpful. This looks great too.
