Lately, I've been playing boardgames on the computer with friends...remotely- steam has a 'game' called tabletop simulator..
from there you can load up libraries of different boardgames. So far, played Pandemic (of course), Jaipur, Formula 1 and Fir
Rescue.
Anyone play with this?

Absolutely! Love it! I've actually made a few mods and uploaded them to the workshop...

Awesome, yes, there is quite the list in there. I just find its a good
way to still connect with friends... nothing of course beats the face
to face in the same room. Previous months, we had been playing
Gloomhaven, thats a pretty intense turn based RPG type game. I do miss those nights at the table.. 3 hours later.

Then switched to Battletech and with this one we just made DYI maps and
I played and experimented with Tabletop 2-3 years ago a lot with friends. Mostly playing MtG and then some more rare CCG that are not physically available anyhow (or for reasonable price, like Blood Wars or METW).
Then switched to Battletech and with this one we just made DYI maps and printed robots, found some rules in the attic and added custom ones for the real games and we still play it.
What's your fav on Tabletop to play, perhaps you can convince me to rediscover the app.

I'm sure with everyone in lockdown there has been a number of apps made available. My fav tabletop and in real life.. Pandemic. LOL even before the pandemic too. At some point, we will try some the expansions for
it. I don't own any games, all my friends do so I just play what they have. Dead of winter is another one but you need a few people with
that. Add discord chat and you're laughing.

Well... I've played Pandemic ONCE in person - the rest have been solo
on the iPad and I've NEVER won... I need to play with someone that
can teach me. :-)

I am playing a game of Pandemic right now, and I must say I don't like
the game. Half the country is frozen and the gov called for martial-law lite. I have been selling lots of vitamins and minerals, so it is not a total loss, but so far the game seems boring to me. And nobody gave me
the manual alongside the game.

My friends gave me Dead of Winter as a birthday gift last year.Oh yes, nice. Theres a self-playable? wow. I seem to recall the game play including a traitor.. and it will take a number of turns before anyone will have a clue. If you play with people who are used to being deceived in games, they can figure it out quicker. It's also your actions that will give you away. Fun game though.
Actually, the self-playable expansion.
I have yet to try it. However, I think it has a fatal flaw as a game.
See, when
you are a traitor and try to screw the group up
during a crisis, you put forward a card. The problem is all the cards
have an identifier that determines where they were picked
from. So if you used a car picked from the Police Station, the group
will zero you out very quickly because chances are not
many people has been able to source cards from the Police Station during the game (for example).
Any opinion regarding whether this is an issue during normal play?
