This shit is ancient, best of 2010 at most. These are new-ish games that are also great digital adaptations.Some suggestions:Steam Digital Tabletop Fest: https://store.steampowered.com/sale/tabletopfest
Lots of sales for tabletop-type stuff.
Ticket to Ride
Lords of Waterdeep
Race for the Galaxy
Gloomhaven
Terraforming Mars
How are the implementations for these?AGoT: TBG
Blaine mentioned the physical board game a few weeks ago, and it got me interested. I'd pull the trigger if it goes on sale.Wingspan
Forgot about this. I have the physical game, and I felt like I learned the rules a lot better playing the digital version.Scythe
Old automatically equals bad
GH is good, the campaign will drop in 2021 and meanwhile they have a roster + roguelike mode. TM is on the "good enough". AGoT is by DireWolf who are the best at digital versions IMO so my expectations are high.GloomhavenTerraforming MarsHow are the implementations for these?AGoT: TBG
It's a good but flawed game. We had a discussion about it in some other thread a couple of weeks back. The first 5 plays are awesome, and you can play with anyone. Once it's figured out it gets same-y and the expansions are trying to fix that.Blaine mentioned the physical board game a few weeks ago, and it got me interested.

Same as with Blood Rage Digital, it fell short technically and in UX in many ways. BRD isn't playable at all, so I didn't even mention it.Forgot about this. I have the physical game, and I felt like I learned the rules a lot better playing the digital version.Scythe
They're good games, the adaptation for RftG has one of the best AIs in the industry. It's just like recommending Wasteland 1 when Underrail exists. It's good but whomever wanted to play it has done it already and are ready to move on to something else.Old automatically equals bad
Which is why the digital version was much needed. I've learned to play and also doomed myself to never be able to put it on the table anymore. At least in Small World people could gang up against you and still win, and that doesn't quite work on Root.ROOT is on steam? Got base game and few addons, its awesomeRoot
even though you need a stable crew to play with and for first few games no one got any idea what others are doing
Nice. Getting people to play Scythe, with all the components, rules, and setup, is a PITA. I can't imagine trying to find the right people to play Gloomhaven; let alone shell out the money for the game. Perhaps the digital version will be sufficient.GH is good, the campaign will drop in 2021 and meanwhile they have a roster + roguelike mode. TM is on the "good enough".

I've played through GH on TTS, and JotL and Guildhaven City on physical, all solo. JotL is a massive jump on QoL on components and setup, making the maps into notebooks cuts off most of the cruft and I use color-coded tokens instead of standees so setup time is minimal. Gloomhaven Helper to track combat stats and enemy AI, and some website or spreadsheet to track the campaign and character sheets. The table footprint is minimal then, I play 2 characters on 55x75cm.Nice. Getting people to play Scythe, with all the components, rules, and setup, is a PITA.

I just use my package manager.here's the exact same version:

saved you $3
If you're going to use something else you should use the Retro Rogue Collection. (Or, Rogue Classic by Oryx Labs if you want a nice tileset; or import the tiles from it to RRC.)

They're cheap, and that's appealing, but aren't they not worth the time investment?Why haven't you guys bought the Inquisition + Andromeda bundle yet?

I know jack shit about Mass Effect as a setting since I didn't care much about 1 and 2 and never played 3, but I bought Andromeda on Origin for five bucks one point on a whim and the combat's alright. Bopping around with a jetpack's kinda fun. Didn't actually finish Andromeda but I got $5 of entertainment out of X hours. Biggest complaint with Andromeda is probably your alignment options are "Bioware goofball" and "Semi-professional". Would've been way happier if the extremes were "Star Trek captain treading on eggshells" and "Space conquistador here to plunder the spacegold and spacepussies of the spacewomen" since you're supposed to be a super cool captain out in bumfuck nowhere in another galaxy.Pretty sure Andromeda is utter garbageThey're high quality cRPGs and probably won many prestigious RPGCodex awardsThey're cheap, and that's appealing, but aren't they not worth the time investment?Why haven't you guys bought the Inquisition + Andromeda bundle yet?
