Summary
Board games are having a moment right now, but there's a tight constraint on the craze, since our options for players are limited to the folks with whom we're self-isolating.
That's all well and good if you have other gamers in the house - I am fortunate that I do - but maybe you'd like to play with other people, or play games that involve more players, or just try something a little different.
It came out in early May, just in time for everyone to play it at home - or over Zoom.
Playing Half Truth over Zoom would be as simple as any virtual trivia game.
The owner of the game flips the card over to reveal the correct answer while each player shows their chosen responses.
So as long as each house has one of the boxes, everyone can play together over Zoom.
The new Marvel Villainous game probably wouldn't work as well over Zoom given its increased interaction between players, but I'm sure you could figure out a workaround if you're really determined to play as Thanos.
Either way you can play these games quite well remotely - everyone just has to print their own pages.
In cooperative mode, you can play with as few as two players since you'll play through seven cards together and see how many points you can score.
So much of Dominion's gameplay is individual that it's easy to play remotely, and the cards that do affect other players are easy to execute.
