Wow, so ya Tabletop Simulator is an awesome game that is played on Steam.
Download the Steam game client, create an account… then you have to pay $20 for Tabletop Simulator. TS is actually a 3d VR environment where you are simulating sitting around a table, with your buddies, in real time, and with thousands of games to choose from. It takes a little while to get used to the controls on how to zoom around the game boards, roll the dice, deal the cards, move the pieces… and each simulated game is different.
youtube this, it is a trailer for TS -> 0b-ws2WY_8Y
TS also supports A&A G40, in all its glorious detail, truly an amazing simulation.
So my kids and I have been enjoying Catan and all kinds of other games on TS… and my older son and I recently started playing A&A G40 2nd on TS too… and it is a wonderful way to play! Since my son moved out and lives kinda far now, this way we are able to keep the fun games going online. We’ll have gaming nights and he’ll be online a few nights a week, we’ll do the voice chat, and its just like sitting around a real table playing A&A. Highly recommended!!!
Plus you can save your game as often as you want, stop and continue whenever, all the starting pieces are already setup, so many more conveniences. Honestly, these days I’d almost rather play on Steam TS than setup all the pieces on my dining room table for several weeks. Tabletop Simulator on Steam is a great way to enjoy a ton of games with family and friends far away… check it out. And I think it is a fantastic way to play Axis and Allies G40 too… all that and more for only $20, heck of a deal.
