Tabletopia Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Card Game Rules

  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

• Question about Boardgames on Computer

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

• Resource Megathread

• Trying to play more strategic and lengthy board games, but roommates strongly prefer shorter party-style games. Is there any hope for me?

  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).

• Turn based/strategy non violent games

  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

• Where can I host my card game for free play?

  If it's a bit more complex, either because of non-standard components, or because of non-standard mechanics, you could take a look at tabletopia.com or tabletop simulator (on Steam). These are more powerful, like being able to handle very unusual game components, but can be more difficult to build on, and are somewhat clunky for those playing. Source: over 1 year ago

• ticket to ride and Jaipur are way too similar

  First suggestion, try games out by playing them on https://boardgamearena.com, https://yucata.de, https://boiteajeux.net, https://tabletopia.com, https://vassalengine.com, and TableTop Simulator (even if you have to play left-hand vs. right-hand).

  There are a load of online resources to play games; https://boardgamearena.com, https://yucata.de, https://boiteajeux.com, VASSAL engine (program), https://tabletopia.com (3D environment), and TableTop Simulator on Steam (also 3D environment).

  Tabletopia is a free (mostly) online virtual tabletop environment very similar to TTS. It has a guide on how to create your game here. I've looked at it before but never actually tried to make anything, so I can't speak to how easy it is, but it looks fairly simple and I've heard good things about it. Source: almost 3 years ago

• How and where do you test your board games?

  Hi! Especially during this pandemic is great to do testing on online simulators. I use https://tabletopia.com/ but there are many options like tabletop simulator, vassall ecc. Testing on a sotfware is also great for fast iteration without printing again components. Source: about 3 years ago
