Tabletop Simulator 2015

Is it still worth playing?

This 2015 program for the PC, Mac and Linux is a virtual table where boards, cards, dice and figurines can be picked up, dealt, rolled and chucked around. It is a sandbox rather than a game, made by two people from a Kickstarter of 37,403 dollars. Everything down to the lighting and the physics of each object can be customized, and you can copy and paste 50 dice into a pile if you like. Pieces, cards and dice fall, slide and stack as they would, for up to ten players over the internet, with no rules enforced and no winner declared, since the people at the table do that. Chess, checkers and poker come in the box. The rest is the Steam Workshop, more than three thousand games and sets of pieces built by players, and publishers' official versions sold as downloads. The unenforced rules still let you play anything, because the table does not know what you are playing.
