I mostly use this game to play Warhammer 40k with friends from college, and it works very well for that

allows me to recreate the real-life joy of doing a 1000 piece jigsaw with four other people and secretly eating the last piece so they can't finish the puzzle

What can I say? Make one $20 purchase, and you've got just about every tabletop game ever made. From TTRPGs to board games and everything in between. It's genuinely the best bang for your buck on steam. If you like ANYTHING tabletop, pick this up. It's honestly insane how cheap this is.

It's almost every boardgame you can imagine in a single $20 simulation which often goes on discount. I personally get a massive amount of mileage playing Magic the Gathering cards which cost a mortgage to own in real life with friends who live far from me.

basically the gold standard for how to make a virtual board game platform

Tabletop Simulator isn’t just a game—it’s the entire world of board gaming stuffed into one chaotic, physics-driven sandbox where imagination is the only limit… and sometimes, that imagination involves flipping the table into orbit. Want to play Chess? Done. Poker? Easy. Dungeons & Dragons with your friends? Absolutely. Want to play some weird, obscure card game you found on a dusty corner of the internet? Someone’s already made a workshop mod for it. The sheer amount of content is staggering—thousands of official and community-made games, all in one place, all playable in glorious 3D. The physics engine is the secret spice. You can shuffle cards with your hands, stack Jenga blocks carefully, or meticulously set up a Warhammer army… before I stroll over and smash everything into chaos by flipping the entire table. Because let’s be honest—the real magic of Tabletop Simulator isn’t just winning—it’s absolute trolling. That moment when everyone’s deep into a 2-...

Highly recommend for anyone who likes playing any kind of table top or card game. If what you need isn't already one of the included pieces in the base game, I guarantee you can find what you need in the Workshop. Warhammer and 40k do wonderfully in here. Plus playing with friends who aren't in town is always a plus.

Games great, unfortunately bugs ruin this to about 50% of all games, and can happen mid game and ruin whatever your playing

all I can say is WOOOOO! kudos to all the modders out there too numerous to mention.

My friend keeps kicking over the table because he's a dumb stupid piece of shit.
