The home page has no information about which games it supports and how it works. You could screen record a session, post it to YouTube and embed it in the page.

Thanks! We'll def do that. Do you have any suggestions on what games should be added?

I'm not 100% sure about how it works but I guess that you can't include a board game ff you don't have any kind of agreements with either the authors or the publishers. Traditional games should be fine.

Maybe if your video technology is good you can work at an agreement with the sites that already have them. A video chat could be something they could pay for.

Thanks! Yes we were only looking at public domain games at first.

A partnership would be great, since we could cross promote, and I'm sure a lot of people are looking to try new games.
