Is Board Games VR worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Board-game fans who want to play in VR rather than only at a physical table
- Players seeking a small selection of classic board games who do not need a large game library
- People who want board games in both VR and non-VR modes, rather than a VR-only experience
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking chess against computer opponents, since chess is currently multiplayer-only
- Players looking for a broad range of game types or extensive variety across repeated sessions
- Players who want to customize games or create their own boards now, rather than wait for planned features
Our take on Board Games VR
The VR presentation comes with a narrow current selection: four board games, with chess limited to multiplayer while its AI remains in development. Custom game creation is also still a future plan, so the current experience favors playing the included games over building new ones.
What is Board Games VR?
Board Games VR offers backgammon, checkers, tic-tac-toe, and chess in virtual reality or non-VR mode.
Chess is multiplayer-only while its AI is under development. A menu lets players adjust AI difficulty, music volume, and table height. The game’s current selection centers on board games, with configuration options for play settings. Customizing existing games and creating new board games are described as future plans and are still under development.
