Ask HN: Ways to team build while WFH?
1 point by notadev on April 1, 2020 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
We're all stuck inside and it's boring. I asked my team if they wanted to have lunch over a Slack video call, but that seems boring. Any ideas how 5 or so people can do something together online? What about for like 20 people?


I'd recommend trying a virtual board game hour (or two)!

My coworkers and I have played Carcassonne a few times on https://boardgamearena.com/. While playing the game, we have a group video call going to keep it social. (If you use this site, I'd recommend playing a few rounds by yourself to get accustomed to the UX which can be a bit cumbersome at the start. When you do it with your coworkers you can help explain some of the nuances in the site itself. The game has a 7 minute video explainer that does a great job explaining the rules of the game.)

Carcassonne can handle at most five people. For larger groups, a virtual game of Codenames can be fun: https://codenames.plus/.
