One screen, six players
Type the names, pass the mouse. A board game for the beamer at the end of an away-day.
When to use it
The end of an away-day, with the team gathered round one laptop or the projector. A last lesson of term where a small group shares one classroom computer. A club or family evening where nobody has to join on a phone, and the laptop simply goes round the table.
What makes it this
Built on the Board game generator with these changed. Everything else is the default.
- Play together on one device
Several players register on the same screen and take turns from there — pass the mouse around or run it on the beamer.

Put everyone’s name in, then pass the laptop round. Question tiles move you on or back, and the marked tiles are for the whole table to do together.

Why the example is built this way
-
Six seats and sixteen tiles.
Set Players per game to six for a table rather than a huddle. Sixteen tiles gives each player roughly five rolls, which keeps the wait between turns short.
-
The finish doesn't have to be hit exactly.
Turn off Finish must be hit exactly. Bouncing back off the last tile is a good ending for two players and a long wait for six.
-
Some tiles are for the whole table.
Four info tiles ask the room to do something together, like a quick round of answers or swapping seats. They open on landing and cost no steps, so the game carries on around them.
