Platforms and Devices
The online version of the board game is hosted on Tabletopia.
Tabletopia is a digital sandbox system for playing board games with no artificial intelligence (AI) to enforce the rules. This means players have a virtual experience similar to playing a board game in real life. Players have the ability to roll the dice, pick and flip cards, while picking up and moving their pawns round the board.
The online version of the recovery board game is at present ONLY available on PCs and laptops. Players with mobile devices can be involved through the 'Play Hotseat' function and the facilitator sharing their screen on Zoom/Teams or any other video conference app of their choice.
Facilitators or hosts need either a computer or laptop to host a playdate event; whilst players require either a computer or mobile device to play.
