Why is this game so perfect?
What have you guys been playing lately?
Personally I've been having a blast playing Heroquest and MtG
>>342700291
because, for one, the community isn't garbage.
It's an awful game that makes set-up excessively long when it should be instant.
There are much better, 2D free clones with games that are already set-up every time, you can play shit in browser with less effort than TTS.
The ideal is to actually have friends and spend 20 bucks on a new board game every now and then, but I can understand how people can't manage that.

>It's an awful game that makes set-up excessively long when it should be instant.
I don't know what you've been trying to play, but if a game takes a while to set up, then just fucking set it up ahead of time and save it so that you can just reload it later on when you want to start again
It's not so perfect. The physics kinda suck and Desperate Gods was better in that regard.
>>342700632
>The physics kinda suck
Honestly, I've never really had a problem with them, and you can tweak the physics enough in the settings to make it work for whatever you're playing.
There aren't really many games that involve more than moving pieces or cards occasionally, and there are functions that do that for you as well as options to create grids and shit that snap pieces into place if you're having a hard time getting things in the right spot when you move them
>>342700564
Even if you can do that in such a way that you're always covering how many people are playing, it's still a fucking hassle.
Just PLAYING the game takes far longer too, decent clones will include the ruleset and prevent illegal moves.
TTS is absurd, if you asked ANYONE if they'd rather play D&D in a proper 2D system where dice rolls take half a second, or if they wanted to play it in fancy 3D where they can barely read the cards without zooming and it takes 30 minutes to set anything up, they'd think you were absolutely fucking insane. But somehow, it's acceptable to play board games in something that really only works as a gimmicky chess simulator.
>>342700497
it's tabletop simulator, not table top speeder-upper
the game is perfect as is
>>342700291
I tried to get my friends to play it, even got the 4 man pack
no luck though, nobody really wanted to get into it
also I wish there was a comfy setting for the game, cause floating table in space with background A kinda sucks
>>342700828
It's not a simulator, though. In real life, I have 2 hands. In real life, I can move a piece exactly where I want it to go. When you have to do shit like enabling grids just to get things in roughly the right place, there's a problem.
I've seen pieces clip into boards, I've seen them fly out and smash into other objects, it's far too unreliable for an actual game.
Maybe if you had a VR headset, it'd be a passable substitute. If they're cheap in 5 years, maybe I'll pick the game up for that.
>>342700784
>can barely read the cards without zooming
Just press ALT nigga
>it takes 30 minutes to set anything up
just like D&D IRL
But seriously, no one is saying D&D is best on TTS, thats what shit like Roll20.net is for
>>342700784
>D&D
That's not what TTS is for. Roll20 covers that one.
>>342700953
Thats what the backspace function is for, if something wigs out and messes up the board just go back a step.
You're kind of complaining about very basic shit that can be solved with some minor tweaks in the options. You can even turn physics off completely so that things don't move unless you move them
>>342701026
No shit, but a lot of board games have various elements like D&D which are handled awfully by TTS.
>>342700953
>It's not a simulator, though.
Damn, do you actually have autism anon?
TTS is an amazing value for what it is. How can you not look beyond minor physics issues and see that you spent $10 and now have access to almost every board game ever made and can play them with friends all over the world? Obviously it would be better to play them in person, but not everyone lives close enough to their friends to do that
How is TTS if I'm a friendless loser?
>>342701453
There is honestly a pretty large and active community that plays games with randoms. You can even just type something like "Anyone want to play some Magic?" into the global chat on the main menu, and odds are someone will be up for a game within a minute.
Either that or you can just look through the server browser until you find an active game with open slots that you want to play. I mostly play with people I know, but every time I've joined a lobby of randoms they have been extremely friendly and are willing to help you pick up the rules if you haven't played before
Been playing 40k and DnD on it. Pretty great.
wow, the developer is still shilling the game here
This is literally the only game you need on TTS
>>342700291
I really wanted that, but I don't think many of my friends would play it with me.
>Just wanted chill poker nights with friends with drinks and bants
>End up just getting heliborne instead with my only 10 steambux
>>342701698
Playing shit like Codewords, Deception, Dixit and shit is nice, also there's always a game of Secret Hitler going, always.
>>342701718
I thought the same thing, and when I brought it up none of them were interested enough to buy it, so I just caved and bought a 4pack and now we play it almost every second night for a few hours at least
>>342700291
>want to play this game
>imagine all the fun stuff you could do
>remember you have no friends or social skills
suffering
How's battlemage on tts? Its super expensive physically, but I've heard it's good.
Can you play this with randoms? I have no friends
>>342702232
>>342701992
There are lobbies and a global chat, its really easy to find a game to play with randoms, and most people are usually really friendly
Or just go to en.boardgamearena.com
Play fun games for free online without any of the set-up time.
>>342702314
That's too intimate for me
>>342702676
>playing automated board games
No thanks, I like the hands on feeling of TTS
If I'm going to play automated shit I might as well just play an actual video game instead
TTS is also, unironically, one of the best games to come out of early access, and I really hate early access.
It's still getting updated with new features, one of the latest ones added fucking scripting, you can actually write your own scripts to hardrule games or add your own helper features, there's even an actual racing game on the workshop made with scripts.

>>342700953
this faggot doesn't know how to play TTS and is bitching about basic shit
>>342702676
TTS is already set-up time free you faggot, most games uploaded to the workshop are already set up and ready to go when you load them, and those that aren't already, all you have to do is load it up yourself, set it up, and then SAVE IT
>>342702904
Oh shit, I'm sorry
>>342702676
Yeah, because this certainly compares to the amount of games you can play on TTS
This is totally better, thanks anon, i can't wait to have a blast playing Reversi, Checkers and Yahtzee with my friends
>>342703010
Sorry for what? Our daddy taught us not to be ashamed of our games. Especially since they’re such good value and all.
>>342702772
You don't really have to talk, but it might not be for you if you don't like interacting with people at all, but at that point I don't even know why you're interested in a game that simulates board games.
>>342703047
Lost Cities is the only game there, standard games like chess aside, I properly recognise and play, and that shit is fucking simple, this is probably an awful system.
I can't find people to play with.
>>342703956
>>342703956
Thats what Global chat and the server browser are for
>>342701596
Why does the anime character bob from left to right?
>>342704359
Thats just what anime is
>>342700291
I bought this game recently and I think I've spent maybe 2-300 hours playing Munchkin with friends in the last few months.
Its kind of funny that we've been having more fun playing board games than videogames lately
Have board game manufacturers made any comment about this game? Isn't it practically piracy with all the stuff in the workshop?
>>342706815
>Isn't it practically piracy with all the stuff in the workshop?
Sort of, but what kind of market are they missing out on? The people that all buy a $40 board game individually and set them all up via webcam so that they can play online?
>>342700335
>the community isn't garbage.
for the most part
try playing a puzzle ever and some fag will come in and shit the place up, every time
Is there monopoly?
>>342707465
According to the steam workshop there are 96 different versions of Monopoly available
You can even flip the table when you get pissed
I've been playing a lot of Fluxx and King of Tokyo with my friends, some real fun shit.
>>342707037
Some games have been licensed out to be sold as DLC. A lot of board and card games have their own official online versions, so I'm surprised they haven't jumped on this.
>>342707786
Get some sleep Raiden
>>342708341
Fuck you Jim
>>342708375
>tfw even if I bought copies of this for my friends they wouldn't play with me
>>342708527
My friends literally said this before I just said "fuck it" and bought them a 4 pack, and we play this shit all the time now
>>342708475
>>342707550
>that loli monopoly
That got a chuckle out of me.
>>342708604
I've done this before with other games and my friends didn't even launch the game once out of politeness for receiving a gift.
>>342707550
>Loli monopoly
Fucking dead.
Playing some games there with random fags, shit is fun. Wanna try Battlestar Galactica, is it any good ?
>buy this to play with friends
>my friends can't even complete a game of monopoly
>not automated enough for the one person who actually wanted us to get it
I hate my friends. If you can't shoot people they won't play it.

1. Why is this a "game"?
2. Why is this being sold?
3. This would be perfect for an open source freeware project.
>>342713714
Nigga its only $10
Just because you're a cheap bastard doesn't mean the devs don't deserve a couple of bucks

It's great with friends.
Been playing it with friends since they implemented Vive support (which the game is fucking cool in vr). Pretty fun, wish I could get more friends on at the same time.
>>342713845
Depends where the money goes. I'm don't buy fetish commodities
>>342714593
I dont wanna drop $800 on vive, but could you tell me how the VR works? Like how does it feel to move pieces and such.
>>342715025
works well
>I gave over 200 dollars to this in Kickstarter
>haven't played it much myself
>see a lot of people playing it anyway and enjoying it
>>342716983
Thanks man, you did a good thing.
I just wish I knew about this game when it was still being backed, I would have dropped at least 50-100 on it
>>342716983
>funding without equity in return
