Unlike most of today's "simulator" games, Tabletop Simulator actually allows you to simulate the experience of playing a board, card, figurine, or even role-playing game at a table with your friends. It's a fantastically made game that not only comes with most common games, such as solitare, checkers, etc. but includes things such as tablets and calculators that can be used for games. Further, workshop support allows you to not only find other games, such as UNO, but to make your own game entirely, complete with custom textures, boards, backgrounds, etc.

Now, what is probably the best part about TTS compared to other, actual simulators, is that the mechanics are well made. It's easy to use, and has intutive controls that can be brought up at the touch of a button for reference.

If I have to pick one thing as a gripe, I'd say that the server browser does not show ping. It shows region, but not ping until you are in the game.

In conclusion, this is a must have. Not just for board game enthusiasts, but for whole families, for when they cannot play a board or card game together, such as when in college, or someone's in the hospital, since it works on most modern laptops that have at least 4 GB RAM.
