Discussions and announcements of digital board games.

This includes digital versions of existing modern board games as well as the new breed of digital-only games that are designed to play like board games.

For the most part we're not talking about traditional games like Monopoly, checkers, or Trivial Pursuit. We are talking about games like Settlers of Catan, Dominion, Puerto Rico, or any of the hundreds in this new category. (Also see The Note Below.)

Roll Player on mobile... phone OK, or is tablet better?

Roll Player is currently on sale for both iOS and Android ($5 instead of $10). I have an iPad and Android phone so was wondering if folks have experience with its digital version in regards to ideal screen size, and anything else you'd care to comment on.

Concordia Digital Bug

I think i encountered a bug today playing Concordia digital. It is my turn and I'm playing some card actions trying to figure out what i want to do. I used the preceptor card to grab some wine and see how many points it would give me. I chose to undo the action and use my consul instead. When I confirm my cards with the consul, the game resets back to using the preceptor action and asks me to commit to it. I don't want to do the preceptor action. Is this a bug?

Fleet the dice game removed

Fleet was one of my go to games that I enjoy on my phone but the other day it was removed from the App Store. It sucks because 1 I payed for it and 2 it was one of the best roll and writes available. Does anyone know any reason why it was removed? And am I SOL for any purchases I made of apps that no longer exist?

<update for anyone interested: it appears that the app was willingly removed and within 72 hours it was re uploaded to the App Store which I have since downloaded again without cost. Thanks everyone!>

Backgammon Discord Activity Board Game Playtest

Hi everyone,

We are an experienced game development studio currently working on Discord activity games, and we're developing a backgammon game!

We're excited to build a community server called Backgammon Universe, where we can connect with fellow enthusiasts and find testers for our brand-new game.

The game utilizes physics based dice throw over network to prevent random dice throws by the net code. We are also adding a lot of features by getting user feedbacks from our Discord server.

If you're interested in learning more or want to support us by being part of the community and helping test the game, we'd love to have you onboard:

New to Digital Tabletop Gaming

So long story short, I am in the process of crafting a DIY digital tabletop. There seems to be plenty of options for TTPRG systems, but what about more traditional board games?

My thought is, games like Settlers of Catan, which we enjoy, but the setup and cleanup is frequently a factor in deciding to play something else.

Does anyone have suggestions or recommendations of how this could be done?

My thought is we would still use the physical game pieces and just have the board displayed. For games where the board is always consistent, taking a picture of the board and sizing it to the digital tabletop would work (right?) but for Catan there is randomness to how the board is set up.

Thanks in advance, just trying to come up with something to save time in the future.
