Abstract
A method to allow participation with multiple other players in a virtual reality (VR) board game includes steps of generating a board game scenario after a player with a mobile terminal logs in to a server and sending the VR scenario to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal can transmit first and second signals, the first signal defining movement and track of a player piece being moved, and the second signal defining verbal expressions or commands by the player to trigger a preset event in the game. The first and second signals are analyzed and the player pieces in the VR scenario are moved accordingly. The method and system can also determine at least one player piece in the scenario that matches a condition for triggering a preset event or move in the VR game and make suggestions to the player accordingly.
