E-Versions of board games

[Last Hussar]

72 pence gets you 4 board games, more you pay, the more you get. Minimum £7.32 gets computer versions of Terraforming Mars, Pandemic(!), Small World, Splendour, Ticket to Ride, Love Letter and Blood Rage plus some DLCs. Use the sliders to determine how much to the companies and how much to charity. Upped mine to £20 as a Birthday present from the Olds.

Play on line or against the AIs. Perfect for those lockdown nights.

You have 3 days and 19 hours from time of this post, and will need a Steam account.

As a follow up if you wish to wargame, boardgame or card play remotely - Tabletop Simulator is currently on sale on Steam (£7.49)!

I can't recommend this enough - people make FREE content of all sorts of stuff.

I have successfully played Black Powder, The Men Who Would Be Kings, Wings of War, Warfighter, Blood Bowl, Formula De and others using this fantastic tool. It includes voice and text chat and everything you need to play anything.

I am currently developing a version of Avalon Hill's "Statis-Pro Football" and more Air warfare stuff to be released onto the Steam Workshop

I've got TTS, but do t know how to put figures into it.

Ohh, was just mentioning stuff like this to Westmarcher.
Do you have a handy link to a beginner's guide?

Boardgame Arena and Yucata.de are also good ways to play boardgames online for (next to) nothing.

There are loads of vids on youtube but I found it best to pop into the workshop and grab a game eg blackpowder and just play around with it for a bit

These were quick and simple:

It's not easy.

There is the 3D route which can involve taking photos, rendering the image using software such as Unity or Blender and then importing it into TTS

There is the 2D route which involves taking an image , making sure the  background is transparent and then importing it into TTS

There is the "Use someone else's stuff" and resize it in TTS

I took the 2D approach for the Bloody Big Battles 1854 Kurudere scenario

eg this 2d image



eventually becomes this



The scenario can be found at https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2384213978

The original figures were lifted from

I'm happy to explain this further

I was just going to suggest using a bigger tablet instead of your phone 

its OK coat already on and out the door.
