All On Board
All On Board
The only tabletop platform built natively for VR. Play licensed board games with friends in beautifully themed virtual rooms — and only one person needs to own each game. Base includes Chess, Go, Checkers, and Parchisi. Licensed titles available separately.
Active roadmap • DLC expanding
All On Board is a VR board game platform developed by The Game Kitchen, the Spanish studio best known for the atmospheric Blasphemous action games. Launched on Meta Quest 2/3 and SteamVR on February 27, 2025 following a successful Kickstarter campaign that raised $70,402 from 1,055 backers, it positions itself as "the only tabletop platform natively built for VR" — designed to replicate the social experience of sitting around a table without the setup, storage, or geographical constraints of physical board games.
The base game at $9.99 includes four classics: Chess, Go, Checkers, and Parchisi (Ludo). Licensed modern titles are available as additional purchases, with each playable for 25 minutes before deciding whether to buy. Crucially, only the host needs to own a game — friends in the same session can play without purchasing it themselves. Cross-platform play connects Meta Quest and SteamVR users at the same table.
The Quest 3 mixed reality mode lets you place the virtual board on an actual physical table in the room, blending the digital game with your real environment. UploadVR described the platform as operating "like a well-dressed social platform" with themed virtual rooms providing atmosphere beyond a plain table. The VR Realm noted that the themed rooms — formal studies, garden spaces, atmospheric environments — make the game feel like a social occasion rather than just a digital utility.
DLC games purchased separately. Only the host needs to own them for group play. Roadmap includes Hamlet (village builder) and further titles.
