Abstract: A device, method, and system for developing, managing, acquiring and playing electronic board games. Game developers may illustratively access one or more electronic game board, game piece templates and/or other game development application software from a game server to design and develop electronic board games. Such electronic board games may then be acquired by game players in the form of full, limited and/or modifiable versions. A game service module of the game server makes a number of electronic board game related services available to game players for managing, playing and acquiring electronic board game collections and/or for enhancing or facilitating electronic board game playing.

Abstract: Technologies for executing electronic board games include a user compute device having a display screen that is orientable upwardly to support hardware game pieces associated with a particular electronic board game. Each hardware game piece may have a different or unique footprint, which may be detectable by the user compute device. The electronic board game is executed by the user compute device. For example, an electronic version of a board surface of the electronic board game may be displayed on the display screen. Additionally, virtual game pieces may be associated with a player of the electronic board game.

Abstract: Systems and methods of conducting collaborative sessions between mobile devices may provide for determining a time delay associated with a set of participating mobile devices, and determining a command execution time based at least in part on a clock of a managing device and the time delay. One or more control messages may be transmitted to the participating mobile devices, wherein the control messages include the command and the command execution time. Upon receiving a control message, each participating mobile device may determine a local execution time based at least in part on the command execution time and an offset of the clock of the managing device relative to a local clock. Execution of the command can therefore be coordinated across the set of participating mobile devices.
