Tabletop Simulator

Wanna play some MTG but all your friends are out of town or vice versa? Tabletop sim is your game, not only for MTG, but all tabletop games! 10/10 recommend!

perfect game, absolute auto-buy for anyone who enjoys board games. 100000/10

This game has rapidly become a staple within my friend-group for playing board games and card games remotely.

I'm enjoying modding and scripting, adding my own spin to the games we play, and adding extras to already-built game tables - like new tokens, models, and miniatures.

Sure it has it's quirks, but they're consistent and can usually be avoided by doing things in a particular order - or not trying to overstretch it's limits.

The Best Worst Game You'll ever play

Tabletop simulator is a sandbox physics game that imitates board games. It is designed to play various kinds of tabletop games, and includes card games, board games, war games, and even RPGs.

...At least, that's how it is on the surface.

TTS is built in unity, it's home to a special kind of jank and is simultaneously terrifyingly-simple to use and deep enough to be annoyingly-complex. The physics can range from weirdly-unresponsive, to "how the hell are you even colliding with that"?!

The dice rolling functions are pretty scuffed too. A good dice tower seems to be the only way to properly roll dice without it just popping up and being stuck on one face, and trust me, I've rolled a LOT of dice.

A wonderful and godawfully-bad workshop

TTS's workshop is one of the easiest to access. Models, objects and textures are stored offsite as URLs, thus you can put them wherever you want, be it on steam's servers, imgur, dropbox, so on and so forth.

...Notice a problem with this?

Imgur? Dropbox? These are not reliable hosting platforms, and yet there are people who have submitted crucial workshop pieces on exactly these sites, over time, these mods break, often to the detriment of normal users just trying to complete sets for their more-complex board games, or their squad-based war games.

It does have a saving grace : it is nowhere NEAR as bad as the brainrotted cancer that is Garry's Mod's Workshop.

Solitaire(-y)?

I owned this game for a few years on the single-player side of things until I managed to actually get a regular gaming buddy to play this game with. Honestly?...

No. Not really worth it for single player.

Even quite a few of the more-automated games that have scripts have extra requirements - like using discord servers and ID linkage, which I don't like.

Worth it?

Yes. But only if you have a friend, otherwise skip it for now.

A good way to playtest your board game creations

This is probably one of the best ways to play board and card games with people you can't physically be with.

Literally the best way to play thousands of different games at once.

easy way to play different card games, personally only used for MTG Commander and i love it!

Tabletop Sim is one of those games you should just own if you have any friends at all. You can play any board game at all through the steam workshop.

Definitivamente um dos melhores jogos para quem curte jogos de mesa. A variedade que a workshop tem é simplesmente muito grande, você pode jogar truco, uno, tudo o que você quiser em um lugar só.
A experiência com RPGS também são sensacionais, as ferramentas que o Tabletop tem são muito boas e faz dele um jogo mais completo.

No geral, a compra desse jogo vale a pena 100% se você busca experiências caseiras mesmo estando longe dos amigos.

Many of the official board games are scripted very well. Although there are some minor interface and physics issues, the amount of possibilities this app permits is near endless. Great for having remote sessions of DnD over discord, or other classic games with friends across the globe that can;t make game night at your home.

I really should have more hours in this game, but even though I don't, this game is amazing.

You can play ANY BOARD game you want, and as a basic board game fanatic, I love that. I even designed my own board game that is NASCAR related, but never finished it. I wish I had more friends who had it because just a night goofing around on this game would be hours and hours of hilariousness.

Great alternative to MTG: Arena, and it has plenty of classics and sandbox modes

Like playing games with your friends and TTRPGS? This is for you, it has it ALL via an amazing modding community. A must have for all board game lovers out there.

Nice game to simulate wargames and table top games, specially Warhammer 40k (and other versions of Warhammer).

Chill game when none of my friends want to commit to anything and we just end up making a puzzle with yugioh episodes in a tablet

Probably the best way to suffer in a D&D campaign, and also play random card games and other tabletop things

I have been using Tabletop Simulator to play Warhammer, which allows me to play games with people that I would not normally be able to on a regular basis. It's been an absolute game-changer for staying connected with the hobby, especially when distance or schedules make in-person games difficult.

The platform is incredibly flexible, offering a wide range of tools that replicate the tabletop experience surprisingly well. From precise movement and measuring tools to custom dice and detailed miniatures, it captures the feel of a real game without sacrificing the strategic depth that makes Warhammer so much fun. The community support is also fantastic — there are tons of custom assets, terrain sets, and even scripted tools that make setting up and playing even faster.

Of course, nothing beats the feeling of rolling real dice with friends across a physical table, but Tabletop Simulator has given me a way to keep my armies marching and my tactical mind sharp, no matter where I am. Whether you're a casual player or a hardcore tournament regular, I highly recommend it for anyone looking to expand their Warhammer experience!

Got this game with a group of friends. Lets us play board games online that would normally cost us 50+ dollars to play in-person. It lets us decide if certain board games are worth buying before commuting the funds. VR mode is a gimmick and does not feel good, just play on desktop.

It's like having every board game that ever existed for completely free after just buying the game once. 10/10 would completely recommend.

Its 2025 and is still one of my top-played games, if I'm being honest. A great Friday night game with the pals. They have Poker, Blackjack, Domino's, and the list goes on-and-on!

My recommendations :
Star Wars : Epic Duels
Pokemon : Master Trainer
Yu-Gi-Oh game (forget the name)
Numerous Lord of the Rings games to jump into.

Lots of fun...of course, you have to have people to play with in order to get much out of it. But kinda awesome!

Really good game and worth thge price for someone like me who is intrested in virtual historical gaming. I can play hundreds of games for free (excluding the price of the game).

Only got this since I am lazy to play board games irl and I was rewatching Board James from Cinemassacre recently. The workshop stuff is cool.

You can make your own board game ideas come to life. Either for playtesting purposes or as an official release.
You can even script your interactions and not have to do everything manually like with a physical board game using Lua script.

Great way to play multiple board games with friends online. Also nice to ease set-up and clean-up

It may be strange to discover Tabletop Simulator in 2025, but the simulator is actually very user-friendly, with hotkeys and a huge number of games in the workshop. Personally, I found all the board games I played IRL and they were all perfectly adapted.

Pretty dependent on mods/workshop, but it works pretty dang well. VR implementation is a B-, pretty decent but struggles a bit depending on hardware and number of objects. Cool software!

A great way to play board games with friends if you can't meet them physically.

totally under priced if you like board/card games. infinite fun, infinite possibilities. huge MTG commander stuff

A fantastic way to play board games and tabletop games digitally, and the Workshop has a lot of content for various games, making it very easy to get started with whatever you want to play

Simple simulator for almost any board game or card game. easy to use, works pretty good.

it was perfect, perfect, everything, down to the last minute details, especially the modders
also really worth the price

My friend is trying to develop a board game, and I get to use this to try out my friend's prototypes. That makes it way easier to iterate and help him out. So that's pretty cool. :)

Takes some getting used to the navigation/setup, especially if your mod/game doesn't infile the models correctly, but overall really great tool for getting friends together for irl fun online. Table flip 10/10 when it actually works.

I've been using TTS at the recommendation of several of my gaming club's members to play Warhammer 40k online, when unable to attend club in person. So far, the game has been invaluable to me, allowing me to not only play the game I love through a few mods, but also allowing me to test play models and work out their usefulness before committing to buying expensive models!

Step 1: Buy game to play Catan
Step 2: Buy actual Catan game, and use this for old board games that aren't in production
Step 3: Profit

Shadow Hunters? That's worth $300!

I've been playing D&D on this platform for about two years now, and I have to say it's probably my favorite way to do so. It's easy to play these story-enriching games with people worldwide, as you would with a game on your dining room table with your friends sitting around it.

The game itself is pretty self-explanatory: Tabletop Simulator. It feels and acts like a tabletop without the actual food and water components (unless you add those in). There's thousands of setups to choose from, and the modded community around this game is insane; you can add anything into it if you know how to code it.

I will continue to use Tabletop in the future for D&D and any other authentic board games to play with my friends across the world. Sure, it can get buggy when you start adding in hundreds of chips to keep track of, but I do enjoy what this game has to offer, and the possibilities are endless.

If you are looking for a way to make your D&D sessions, or board game nights more vibrant with people not near you, I highly recommend this game. Although there is a speech button (It might be T?), I use discord for calling while at it.

And for the love of dice, PLEASE DON'T FLIP THE TABL-

An excellent resource for trying out board games, playing familiar table top games or just solving a custom jigsaw puzzle. With the community workshop there are hours of entertainment here, even for a solo player.

It's basically the best value proposition for a game you can buy, if you like board games. The workshop community is so amazing, 95% of the games I've wanted to play, people have made, usually with great scripting and automation stuff. 10/10

I play magic with my friends that are on the other side of the state. It really brings small communities together

Find yourself some friends that don't flip the table every 5 seconds and this game will be great 👍

If you're gonna play board games and cards online, this is the game to play board games and cards online in

Almost every board game is available on the steam workshop. One of the best value games you could buy.

best simulator ever made. You can literally play any board game and do even more here.

Great for gaming when you can't get together. Workshop is fantastic

Many a game to be played for a low cost. Very cool that a lot of designers/publishers allow their games to be posted onto workshop

!! Not an ACTUAL GAME!!

This is a utility for running games and you will either need to purchase DLC (or get free versions on the Steam Workshop). It works amazingly well for DnD campaigns as well as MTG and Warhammer 40k. It can be played solo as there are some multiplayer lobbies that users will host but it's better if it's used within a friend group as a means to play games together.

Each person will need their own copy of tabletop sim to be able to play.

Achievements were nice but some were so annoyingly frustrating that I just went ahead and ground them out (honestly wish this didn't have achievements). Especially the 1000 hours one. Did I leave the game open in the background to farm that? - You bet I did! Otherwise I'd literally never reach it at the rate I was playing. Even one of my most played games (outside of The Isle) doesn't have 1000+ hours in it. As someone who likes to 100% games this was one of the ones that was messing with my completion rate. So I farmed it, and now it's not, and I can enjoy it as is. :) [You don't need to do this, don't feel obligated]

I still highly recommend this if you want a great tool for playing games with your friends (or family) or if you're running or playing in a campaign and want something more visual.

This changed so much for me as a DM. I can't recommend this enough for any D&D or Magic player! Thank you to all of the modders who spent so much time making this game an even better tool for ttrpg players and game runners.

An absolutely amazing game, especially if you want to design your own trading card game!
