I just wanted to check in how people handle more than two player games... we had some remote control solutions before, but maybe the tech got better

I played once a very enjoyable 4 player game by email. We shared the gamefile on the cloud and for quick questions/reactions we used whatsapp.

It worked pretty well for us.

Gamefile can be shared in whatsapp group chat as well easily, no need for a cloud server.

But then you waste space in your phone memory unnecessarily, each player has to go deleting all the files on their own chat (even if they are not involved...), you have message and file sharing in the same chat... look for the files, download...

I see no benefit in using whatsapp for sharing files. For me, Whatsapp for messaging and Dropbox for files works best.

I'd like to keep it in real time... I believe Teams allows remote control of a comp... we had other solutions before... but nothing was perfect!
