Hello everyone,
As you know, I’m a little obsessed with games. For my 40th
birthday this year I had hoped to arrange a sponsored 24 hour board gaming
marathon however with COVID-19 it looks unlikely I’ll be able to do things
exactly the way I’d wanted.
Instead, I wondered if I could do an online 24hour board
game marathon!
My idea is that on from 4am on Saturday 17th April until 4am on Sunday the 18th I will
live stream myself on YouTube playing online games for 24 hours and
attempting to raise as much money for CHAS as possible. I plan to use a few
different platforms to play the games but most likely it will be mainly using
Board Game Arena https://boardgamearena.com/
and games on my iPhone or iPad using IOS. I would like to do video chats with
my opponents using zoom or facetime at the same time as playing the games too
If I can have a limited number of people over at the house
to play a physical board game, I’d like to do that too (and live stream it). Obviously,
this depends on current COVID restrictions.
Here are the available time slots – if you want to play at a certain time just let me know!
