The international appeal of board game playing, near-universal use of the Internet, a resurgence of interest in board games, and the advent of new delivery technologies have resulted in a new Internet gaming market, Internet Board Gaming. F2FGaming has identified this international consumer market and intends to form partnerships with software, hardware, and game industry companies and become recognized as the market leader in this space.
F2FGaming will provide an Internet environment that gives users a highly realistic, real-time, face-to-face board gaming experience, with a goal of virtually replicating the look and feel of playing a board game on a tabletop. F2FGaming will offer the full experience of playing established board games against human opponents without having to physically meet.
Users will be presented with the actual game components that are used by the board game they are playing. The computer will be used to facilitate the play, but will not change the game experience into a computer gaming menagerie or force the player to match herself against artificial intelligence. Initial releases will utilize text chat, in a fashion similar to Yahoo or AOL instant messenger systems. Subsequent releases will add audio and/or video functionality to replace or enhance text chat.
We're working with game publishers to broaden our line of offerings. Our initial rollout includes Hammer of the Scots, a block game from Columbia Games. We'll be working hard to bring you major new offerings as quickly as possible.
