All on Board offers a platform to play iconic board games in virtual spaces, focusing on licensed properties and classic board games, with thematic storybook settings for immersive gameplay.
The platform operates more like a social hub where players can browse games, add friends, and play cooperative or solo games like Chess, Parchisi, Checkers, and Go.
Premium licensed games like Terraforming Mars and The Binding of Isaac require additional purchases, but players can try them for 25 minutes before committing.
All on Board enables cross-platform gaming between Quest and PC VR users, with the option to join as a spectator.
The game features thematically designed game rooms that enhance the immersive experience, with attention to detail in creating distinct atmospheres for each game.
Interactions in All on Board mimic the tactile experience of board games, with realistic dice rolling and card handling, although tracking issues can occur.
The platform lacks sufficient guidance for new players, requiring prior rules awareness and making it challenging for newcomers to engage effectively.
The review notes technical issues like player positioning glitches and network problems that hinder the overall experience, impacting user engagement.
All on Board is praised for its potential and atmospheric design but is considered a work in progress, with expectations for future updates to enhance the gameplay and user experience.
While the platform shows promise, it currently falls short in providing a complete and definitive VR tabletop gaming experience, with missing features like expanded character customization and custom games.
