Digital versions of board games worth playing ?

Open
Gorbovsky

Recently I started playing board games in my local shop which sells this kind of games. I was wondering if there are some good digital versions of this kind of games but with big ammount of online players. I was thinking about buying Withcer but some revs says there is not a lot of online players and AI quite sucks so I'm not sure if i want to pay money if there is none to play with and single player games would be boring.

Could you recommend me any other titles of digital versions of boards games (steam versions if possible) ? Populars games which mean there won't be any problems with finding online players.

I second this. It's easy to learn and get in to as well. I spent 9 hours on the game so far.

Hm I don't know if I like this manga style. I'd rather prefer something like Withcer. Witch monsters, loot and all that stuff.f

I'm thinking about Withcher but would be cool is someone who own it could say how it really is with ammount of online players.

Thanks for link ! :)
About Heartstone, I'm playiung it from time to time and I have to say I enjoy it. But I'd like to try something with more playes at once, not only 1v1, short battles.

I would not really recommend it, unless you just want a game that simulates rolling dice and things happening when you do so. It's marginally more interesting than digital Snakes & Ladders.

Tabletop Simulator. I got it in Early Access and I was very happy. Board games are crazy expensive so it's cool to try games out that you normally wouldn't just because of the price tag.

Edit: Just realised you wanted to play with randoms. I would only recommend Tabletop Simulator if you had friends that had it too.

Thats right. I'd rather prefer something which allows to find online sesions with random ppl.

Small World has a faithful adaptation, one that I thought was really good. Star Realms is not on Steam, but that one was quite good as well. Memoir 44' is a Free to Play game, but the free part is worth checking out. The reviews for BattleLore seem to indicate that it too is quite good (this one is not free to play).

Talisman is good, at least that is what people say.

I can confirm that Ticket to Ride is very good, even against AI, but it has a somewhat decently sized online community too.

But stay away from Catan. Even if you know the game by heart (because the adaptation has no tutorial and not even the full rule set is inside the game), it is single-player only and the AI always gangs up on you.

Hm I think I'll take a longer look on Ticket to Ride as I saw traditional version of it so it might be something I can play with freinds.

There are many boards available as DLC too, and according to a recent change, even more are coming.
It was in the 3 USD tier for Humble Bundle once, but if you can fork out the money for the current full version, it is worth it. The DLC boards are very complicated compared to the base USA 1910 map, but they offer a lot of variety and advanced tactics.
