The individual phones are what you use to join the game. To play virtually, each player needs their own smartphone + Wi-Fi access and each household playing also needs one laptop or tablet + Google Hangouts access (browser or app). These are unfortunately split over a few different packs so up to you if you want to buy standalone or grab a bunch of party packs (would recommend the party packs-they’re so fun and give you a good variety of play!)
