Plan your next All On Board! session
Our independent guide breaks down five core aspects of All On Board!—the VR tabletop feel, host‑only DLC model, cross‑platform multiplayer, Learning Hub tools, and the free Virus! game—so you can run smooth sessions without relying on undocumented shortcuts.
01 / THE GUIDE
Optimizing VR comfort
Compare default camera settings with comfort options. Note any reduction in motion sickness and how it influences focus during longer games. Adjust until you find a balance that keeps you immersed without discomfort.
- Adjust camera comfort early to reduce motion discomfort during long sessions.
- Use custom volume controls to balance game sounds with voice chat.
02 / THE GUIDE
Managing DLC ownership
List licensed titles you own and cross‑reference with the host’s library before each session. This prevents unexpected purchase prompts and ensures the game can start promptly.
- Check the DLC list before hosting to ensure the desired game is owned by the host.
- Invite friends who only have the base app; they can still join any hosted session.
03 / THE GUIDE
Testing cross‑platform connectivity
Gather a group using different supported platforms and test joining a session. Observe latency or connectivity differences and record which configurations run most reliably.
- Verify that each participant’s platform is supported before scheduling a session.
- Use Discord or Telegram to coordinate start times and share lobby codes.
04 / THE GUIDE
Using the Learning Hub effectively
Run a quick tutorial round using the Learning Hub for a new game. Compare rule comprehension and dispute frequency against a session without the tutorial to gauge its usefulness.
- Run the Learning Hub before the first round to reduce rule disputes.
- Save the session before a break to keep the current state.
05 / THE GUIDE
Exploring Virus! tactics
Play several matches of Virus! focusing on organ placement versus card usage. Track which approach leads to longer survival and note how opponents react to different strategies.
- Read the card descriptions in the Learning Hub to understand their effects.
- Experiment with organ placement early to gauge opponent tactics.
