I want to play online board games with my friends, have you used platforms to do this? What do you like about them - can you create private lobbies? What games can you play on them?
I’ve made a list of online boardgame platforms:<p><a href="https://wiki.alcidesfonseca.com/blog/online-boardgames-platforms/" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.alcidesfonseca.com/blog/online-boardgames-platf...</a><p>Boardgamearena and yucata have the largest collection and the best user interface in 2D. Tabletopia and tabletopsimulator are 3D and (mostly) paid.
<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22967716" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22967716</a> has some good resources.<p>I have played some Steam games which support Remote Play Together (sharing screen and inputs from one device), so only one player needs to buy the game.
My friends and I have been playing board games (Coup, 7 Wonders, Stone Age) on boardgamearena.com. It has a nice interface, and looks like there's a lot of other board games too. But to play these games, one person in the group needs to have a premium account.
