Board Game Night - How to Do It in Times of Corona?

Well, we found a solution. And it went really well - 6 players were involved, each at home. I had the game and a camera setup to put the image on the internet - and then deliver it to everyone at home with Microsoft Teams. Then headsets and off we went, explaining the game, playing, talking about it together - all of this is also possible during times of social distancing.

I already had the camera tripod, the small swivel arm with phone holder costs 35€ and the phone - you often already have something like that. Then on the phone a small app - "IP Webcam" - with which the phone's camera is accessible via a website. And on the notebook Teams, with which I shared the browser window with all participants. And off we go!

Jhoira, Scrap That! is now my primary deck for cEDH and it has proven to be damn good so far. The deck actually always has a line, can react to almost everything and has good rebuild capabilities. Through multiple overlapping combos, it offers flexible ways to win even through Stax or Hate. And even if I don't win: the deck definitely leaves a lasting impression on the opponents.
