** I am editing this review with some more bullet points or improving on previous ones.**

After about 1500 hours, I feel like it's about time for my review.

TLDR: If you are a fan of board and card games, this is the best $20 you can spend and it even regularly goes on sale for $10.

Since I am not good at writing reviews and organizing my words, here are some bullet points about the game below in no particular order. If you have any questions, feel free to comment.

- This is not the only way to play board games digitally, but I do believe it is one of the best. In comparison to Tabletopia, or others on steam, there is no contest. This is simply some of the best $20 you can spend if you want to play board games. If we compare it to actual digital versions of games, or other websites, then it comes down to what game we are talking about really. I know personally I play on many different platforms and not just this.

- Games don't always translate well to tabletop sim. Some play better, some play worse, and some are about the same. Take your time looking for mods. There are tons of of amazing creators out there. Just keep in mind that depending on the mod you are playing, it could ruin a specific game in person for you.

- Continuing from the above point, look for scripted versions if possible. A lot of games with complicating setups are a breeze to just start playing.

- Tabletop sim has made it a breeze to test games and confirm they are games that I want to buy. I can count plenty of times for my game group that we played a game on here, loved it, and someone bought it. More developers should work on at least having a demo of their game available here so that people can test stuff.

- With board game printing being finicky, this is sometimes the only way to play a specific game.

- Physics can make a game hilarious until it isn't. All depends on the group really.

- There is no more general chat, and for good reason, so it might be hard to find random games. This product is much better if you have people you know you can play with.

- Mods are pretty much endless and more come out daily.

Again, if you have any questions, feel free to drop a comment. I will edit this if I think of more points. Happy gaming!

The short answer is yes. The Long answer is it depends. For D&D and other tabletop games I would recommend something like Roll20 or Foundry or other similar Virtual Tabletops. I think for TTS it would depend on if you found good mods for it. Especially if you found something related to character sheets and rolling. It can be done, but It might take a lot more effort to get it set up and working the way you want to. Your best bet is to search the workshop, or search online for recommended mods to use for D&D in TTS.

hahahahaha I used to own a store and this was the prime way I would test games to see if they where worth selling in the store and or getting for myself. It was also and still is the best way to play board games digitally. and give or take days leaving it on. All sorta added up over the years. It's been out since 2015 :steammocking:
