A game to play by yourself?

[Dotto]

Is this a game that I would be able to have fun with if I were to play alone? Would I be able to find a game to play with other people, or should I wait till my other friends get the game?

It's a program of 1000's of games. There are quite a few solo board games on here

Is it easy to find a game with randoms, as in people you dont know?

I just got TTS - about 3 weeks ago. I play about 3 long games a week, and a few short ones here or there. I've never tried finding random people on Steam but use the Discord channel TTSClub. You'll finding lots of people looking to play who are also willing to teach you games you aren't familiar with.

I would definitely recommend getting TTS.

Would you enjoy playing HeroQuest ? It's a very simple game and if you want, I can make you control 4 heroes. Very basic dungeon crawler. Explore dungeon, kill bad monsters, get the loot, save the princess.

sure, imma get the game when it goes on sale.

TTS is a lot of things.

1. For solo play, just look on the workshop for some random games, searching for solo stuff. There might even bee a solo-play tag, never checked.

2. For random games with random weirdos, there's the global chat, and some rando discords to matchmake in.

3. For a specific game, if it has a TTS presence, it almost definitely has a discord presence too. Try scrawling the interwebz for that, especially if it's a long and high-commitment game, think wargames and such.

Advanced HeroQuest includes rules for solo play and random dungeon generation in the physical rulebook. Surely the version made by the community for TTS includes them too.

HeroQuest is 100% free. You just need to go into the workshops. I give private tutorials 1-on-1 for free with TTS and HeroQuest.

Can you play a digital game with someone else who purchased the game, or do I have to purchase the game too?

[azure.symmetry]

You need Table Top Simulator to make everything else happen.

Once you are inside TTS, you don't need to purchase anything else.

- Unless it is a very special DLC or a special feature

You can get the game only for you on sale, but you can also use the "4-pack" for you and your friends. This way, you get 4 copies you can share with friends.
I don't remember the price, but when I bought it, I wanted a copy for my niece and my BF was getting a copy too, so even with the on-going sale discount, 4-pack was cheaper than 3 on-sale copies.

Here you can check TTS price in each country and the lowest sale price recorded.

But back again to your question, you don't need your friends to enjoy this game.
In fact, my friends bought it, but I played very little with them.
There are mods for single-player games. I played Frostpunk and This War of Mine, just because I played the videogames before, and I liked their boardgame version. I played Arkham Horror (you can play it with friends or by yourself). I enjoyed lots of puzzles. That's a couple examples I can think about, but I'm sure if you like board games, you will find things you'll enjoy.

And most important, there is a large comunity where you can find people to play different games. Don't be shy and look for people to play with. Many people are willing to teach new players how to play.
So if you like board games, I suggest you to get the game and have fun, don't wait for your friends to join you.

@ MADE IN IRON - Thanks for your reply, I've been on TTS for awhile now and was just asking is it possible to buy a digital game on Steam like Scythe or Terraforming Mars $20 not a DLC. Do my friends have to buy the game as well or can they just be steam members to play the Digital version of the game with me? Or does each friend have to pay the $20 to buy it and play? Thanks for any help!

To play TTS, every player must own their own copy.
As for the mods, the workshop is full with totally free mods you can just suscribe and host. You don't even need to suscribe the mod to join the game as long as anyone else is hosting.

Are you talking about the paid DLCs for TTS? I didn't buy any DLC, only played the free mods available on the Workshop so far.

But a little search in this forum lead to the conclussion you only need to own the paid DLCs to host the games, but anyone can join as long as they own the base TTS game and someone else is hosting the DLC.

I'm confused as the games you mention are TTS's DLCs and also stand alone games.
If you are asking about the TTS's DLCs, what I answered you should work.
If you are asking about those particular non TTS related games, you should ask about it on the game's own forums.

@ MADE IN IRON Yes, I'm talking about the stand alone digital games you can buy on Steam. I've tried to ask and look at the game page but haven't got a response. Sounds to me everyone has to buy the game in order to play multiplayer. So all 4 players have to pay $20 for Scythe in order to play multiplayer on the digital. The Scythe DLC can be owned by 1 player and host a game. Any members can play on TTS. The digital games are 1/2 off now so I will see if my friends want to buy in now for digital game. Thanks for your help.
