Lords of Waterdeep VS Tabletopia

Well for us we started with what many consider the entry-level, perhaps quintessential Eurogame which is Settlers of Catan. We got our fill of that and decided to branch out a little bit into "worker placement" games and we landed first on Lords of Waterdeep, which was a great entry point to the genre because of the heavy D&D theming. Our current worker placement obsession is Agricola, which doesn't have the D&D... Source: about 1 year ago

Lords of WaterDeep might also be worth looking into. It's been around for awhile and sometimes gets some hate, but it's a solid interactive Worker Placement game that plays up to 5 people, 6 with the expansion. Viticulture is also solid and similar to LoWD minus the reputational difference. Source: about 2 years ago

Medium-heavy Eurogames! I've played a lot of lighter games, but the heavier stuff looks so neat and elegant. I'm interested in Brass: Birmingham (trains!), Caylus (building in medieval France), Concordia (trading in the Roman Empire!), Great Western Trail (cattle driving like a real cowgirl!), Lords of Waterdeep (D&D theme!), Orleans (building in medieval France!), Power Grid and Scythe (dieselpunk!).

Beyond that there is a whole world of games out there to get you started. I think Lords of Waterdeep, Azul, or Five Tribes as a next dive into the wider world of board games. Source: almost 3 years ago

Https://tabletopia.com/ seems to be a freemium platform for playing many (all?) commercial boardgames and also many standard card games: hearts, bridge, whist, poker etc. And appears to simulate a tabletop for playing with others or solo. I have not played it much but it seems intuitive as a platform for playing many different boardgames online, but is a bit clunky compared to a purpose-built online game. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

Tabletopia. Web app, not many wargames available, I think. Game search is pretty rudimentary. Source: 11 months ago

Tabletopia - Free to start. Build games through their online editor. Source: 11 months ago

Maybe look at finding online options for the "more strategic and lengthy board games"? I know there are lots of options for Diplomacy (which is especially suitable for online play, having discrete turns), but I'm sure you'll be able to find similar online portals for other games (e.g. https://tabletopia.com).

Boardgamearena.com and https://tabletopia.com/ have several more games for free as well. Table Top Simulator itself isn't free, but it does have a ton of free mods for board games. Source: over 1 year ago
