I personally often play PACG over google hangouts and seeing as I'm the only one with a copy of the game it presents its own little challenges. In particular:
- I have to manage all 3 players hands, reminding them what they've got, what the rest of us have got and how close they are to death
- Although they try and track the state of their cards, they are constantly verifying their notes with me
- Whenever I flip a card, I have to read the entire thing to them, and then when they inevitably say "eh?" I have to read it again
All in all, a slight ball-ache, so I spent an entire weekend (and I mean entire) writing out the contents of every single card for the sets I had into a spreadsheet. At least for now they can reference that whenever I tell them they flipped another Sage.
Since then we've been working on slapping a web front-end on the spreadsheet, so the guys can use the tool to reference cards and manage their hands. I've so far resisted scanning in images of all the cards for fear of copyright, but reading the comments here makes it sounds like even copying the text could work against us.
We were only planning on using it between us so it's not that big a deal, but it would have been nice to share the love with the community when we eventually get it finished.
