Anyone want to test cards by Skype?
You might have fun.

Skype ? :o

It's really not as bad as it sounds.
You set out the cards on both sides of the phone line and play by voice. Anything that would come up in a "text only" edition of an isotropic game, you just say out loud. The game is changed negligibly if you refer to playing the 3 Coppers, a Silver and 2 Golds as "playing treasures to buy a Province and a Silver". With the treasures shortcut, it's pretty easy to explain what you're doing.

I can confirm that all that pops says here is true. We have played together on 2 or 3 occasions, and it is getting smoother every time. It feels like a hybrid of Iso and IRL, which is fine by me.
