that's be sick

although you wouldnt necessarily need this for that since you could always just make a hotspot and connect your laptop to it

i just like the simplicity of having everything on one device

ive played it on my chromebook but i have to play in "strategic mode" so it just looks like a board game, since my chromebook is not very powerful
