Yag is system agnostic: it does not rely on any game rule and can be used to play any game with any rules as long as it requires a gameboard, pawns, and dice.

Yag offer a lot of possibilities and hence is fairly complexe to fully use, but it can be used progressively:

• first only as a shared visual setup (dungeons and pawns): Yag is designed so that setting up a complexe scene should only take seconds.
  
• then you can use ingame dice with the journal
  
• then you can learn to use the ingame character sheets that will let you manage characters and automate dice rolls
  
• then you can use initiative, manage rounds, and use the more complexe options Yag has to offer
  
• finally you can learn to use the API with the LUA language and do whatever you want

Yag is entirely silent: you'll have to use a 3rd party audio server (Teamspeak, Steam, Discord...) to talk with your friends.

Yag is not a single player game, there is no AI, no goal set ingame, no villain to fight, nothing to win, it is merely an online shared gaming table.
