It’s not easy (or even possible?) to run the coin game with teams who are geographically distributed…that is until now!

Please read the facilitators guide to running the coin game online.

KNOWN ISSUES:

We are currently working on fixing the following known issues:

  • The more players in a game the less stable the game becomes (coins stuck, players stuck unable to move coins). This is due to latency and the underlying platform we use for the realtime messaging. Up to 3 to 4 players max per game seems to be optimum, 5 or more you’ll get issues.
  • Microsoft IE & Edge browser causes problems and may not work.
