As of right now I can't recommend this. However, if you want to fund something with potential I would recommend that. This is the hardest choice I've come across in my video game lifetime. The ONLY 2 reasons this game can compete against Tabletop simulator is to
A) fund the developers
and
B) have a easier time finding games with strangers. through a system of oranized games.
However, this will burn a hole in your wallet, and it might burn a hole in it faster than you play board games and thats not cool. Board games take time and not being able to know how many board games I can play in a month really makes me feel sick buying a monthly purchase. Not only that, the speed of this game may not live up to it too. Regardless if the developers get 70% of the revenue (So I've heard). How do we know (OUR) favorite developers will tag along too? Some developers may still be completely against the digitilization of their products which makes me believe that this game will have severe limitation to games. I have made mods for games in Tabletop simulator and have even gotten permission to put the game on the workshop by lead designers of the game. Game designers love to at least get their game out there because they know that when people will like it a lot they will buy it.
I own all the games I play on TTS and I use it as a tool to test, play around, modify, or rebalance games before and after I buy them with the click of a button. If someone doesn't buy a board game but plays it on TTS. Chance are they weren't ever going to buy it anyways. And if they did then the developers win. If they don't then its not a loss cause. This is always a problem in the digital age especially with things like Intellectual property. I believe this game will only be playable for people with Too much disposable income or people that just got really lucky were all their favorite developers have latched on to this.. The game doesn't even start. (It's just stuck on the "connecting" screen - I've tried it at least two times (after the game updated) and for quite a while. Nothing happens except for my laptop heating up.)
I'll accept a lot of shortcomings when I get a game for free, but, you know, it should at least start<\/i>.... Having an experience with TTS, I needed to try Tabletopia as well when it appeared on Steam.
What I liked best is that while it is essentially a sandbox like TTS, the TT devs really use a lot of digital features to make the process easier and more smooth. For example, the hand with your cards is glued to the bottom of the screen and is super convenient, no need to keep the cards on the table. The other people can see the number of objects in your hand on your avatar and what you are doing at the moment.
And the table itself is unlimited, so nothing falls off. The tables in TTS really annoy me every time anyone knocks or drops anything off them causing chaos or when you simply don\u2019t have enough room for the components, especially when there\u2019s several players.
In general TT looks and feels very nice and pro, I just really hope it did not involve subscriptions but rather sold games as DLCs... But since it will be f2p soon, I am okay with that.. Some early thoughts...
1) "200+" games there may be, but most of them are quite obscure. The 'big hitters' that I saw are;
Terra Mystica
Scythe
Steampunk Ralley
Viticulture
Vinos
Lewis & Clark
Hostage Negotiator
Then from what I can recall, it gets a bit sketchy! They are really going to have to up this considerably if I'm going to consider subscribing at any level.
2) It runs ok on my fairly modest gaming rig. The start up is a bit slow, but actually in game is smooth
3) Wasnt that many people around, but thats not really a surprise right now. Its a fairly niche title plus early access definitely puts people off.
4) Besides Hostage Negotiator and a little play with Terra Mystica solo, I've not actually played anyone online yet. I dont even know if the turns are async or has to be live. No information easily shows this.
5) The games look ok. Terra Mystica in particular looked very impressive all laid out.
6) The UI will take some getting used to, but has useful functions (like hover over a stack of tokens, roll your mouse wheel to tick up a counter, then click button to take that many of the stack), can also shuffle a deck easily, flip cards etc.
So overall... hmmm... not convinced right now. Lack of killer titles in the library will make or break it IMHO as the rest of it is kinda there. If they want this to be the "spotify of boardgaming" then they just have to get the top games from BGG signed up.. Want to pay for Early Access, then get stung by subscription based model to play the decent games post-launch? Go right ahead.
Otherwise. Avoid.
I'm returning mine for a refund.. 150MB download.. Did i seriously just pay $11 for a redirecting program that takes me to a website :(. I just had to try it.
In short: doesn't do anything that Tabletop Simulator doesn't aready do and anything it does and anything it does it does worse.
It also feels more sluggish, the control scheme isn't good and it feels awkward to do basic things like grabbing multiple tokens from a single bag.
Steam integration, an online profile and playing on browser just pasting a link to your friends is indeed a nice feature.
I'd play both TTS and this if this was free2play and had to pay for DLC to play forever.
But has SUBSCRIPTION! The devs are clearly out of their mind if they plan to charge monthly for something that another software already does better charging only once. Not to mention that if you want to create anything you have a very limited storage, a limited number of saved setups, a limited number of creations and if you want to have more space you have to pay more.
Just stay away from this, TTS is just better in every single way. Just hoping things don't go as planned and the Tabletopia devs change their minds about their business model, only then this might be a viable choice. For now this is just unthinkable.. If you can\u2019t get friends together for a game night this one is for you. With about three hundred games (around two and a half if you don\u2019t count strange indie projects, but still) I have enough variety for months of game nights! Can\u2019t wait! 10\/10. So, here's the thing about Tabletopia: for a while their Steam client ran like garbage and the best way to use it was to actually use Firefox with the Unity plugin. I think the majority of bad reviews came from this fact.The latest update seems to fix this, so hopefully more of the reviews will focus on the actual content of the platform, rather than the technical challenges.
For me, it's an excellent platform and the subscription model is only required if you want to host games and a good chunk of the money you pay each month goes to the publishers of the games you play. I think that's a great way to get good games that are well put together onto the platform instead of the janky, pirated messes that you often find on TTS. That's not to say TTS is bad, but I do feel guilty firing up games that are breaking all kinds of copyrights.
Pros:
-Good UI, better than TTS in a lot of ways, not as good in others
-Good model, you can play for free, host some games for free and only pay for premium features.
-Almost all the games are tightly and professionally made.
Middling:
-Selection is not as good as TTS, but the quality is so much better and games like Terra Mystica and Scythe are amazing.
Cons:
-Bad Lobby System. It's not super hard to get connected to a game but sometimes people can't join after a game is started, you have to load in and out of the game and they made some UI "improvements" to it that were just as confusing as before.
Overall, I have no reservations about recommending it. It still needs a little maturing but the rough edges are not deal breakers at all. For the record, most of my play time has been in Firefox, so my play time on Steam clocks in at about 10% of what it should be.. Tabletopia is so cool and free that i couldn't resist to give it a recommendation. If you like boardgames you should at least try this simulator it won't disappoint you, certified.
