I got a chance to talk with Thunderbox Entertainment about their awesome take on a VR gaming set-up for Tsuro.
Yes, Ben may have looked like he was a bit odd there but this is a genuinely interesting experience that you need to try out. It’s certainly cool to be standing right in the midst of a board game!
Just watch those table corners Ben! Save your shins, lol.
How about Kingdom Death in VR, the area you play in has a stone face floor, it’s pitch dark except the lit lanterns on the gaming table?
Very cool
Look at the little bird, so cute

I think that is because he was remembering he was going to see stuff for the Badger game after the VR
Imagine walking dead done in VR !!
Wow. I suspect it can’t be done at the moment by Chain of Command would be knockout.
This seems like it has a lot of potential, but I still say that there is room for the theater of the mind
