To The Devs: Are games like these possible?
I'm really interested in buying this game. I just want to know if games like Sorry!, Crossfire, Pool, Darts, Monopoly, Connect Four, Clue, Battle Ship, Mouse Trap, Operation ect. are even a possibility in the future? Either through mods, official release or steam workshop?

Currently:
  • Monopoly - Yes
  • Clue - Yes

I'm not familiar with Sorry! or Crossfire, and I hardly remember playing mousetrap, I know you need to build a trap but is having the trap actually function physically an important part of the game?

There will be mod support in the future so some games like connect 4 might be possible. Games like Battleship might be difficult because other players could peek at any time using the camera. Darts and Pool are probably impossible, it's a tabletop simulator not a pub games simulator. ;)

That's what I was trying to figure out from the devs. I wanted to know how far they or mods could take this game. What's possible and what isn't. So I asked about quite a diverse selection of games.

As long as there's custom model support through workshop, I think something like Mouse Trap would work. As for the camera issue with Battleship, maybe the devs could add an option to lock/restrict a player's camera when a certain type of game begins?

Not if they do what they do with cards and have the battleship board turn into a ?. Unless turning the camera exposes the ?s :/

would love this game so much harder if pool was a playable thing!

On connect four one of the devs said they simply had not looked into finding anything that would be allowed through all the copy right sort of stuff. Although you can play it with a custom table picture. just without dropping them into slots...

The game without mods supports basically every game that needs a board, pieces of some kind and/or cards.

Monopoly, Clue - They are not default on the game, but as you probably know, you can put custom boards and cards, so the answer is YES! If you check Nexus Mods[www.nexusmods.com] you can already find Clue and one version of Monopoly. For Monopoly i've seen more versions than that one, is really easy to put it on tabletop simulator.

Sorry! - Never played myself, but after a quick search on google seems like the kind of game that tabletop simulator supports.

Crossfire, Connect Four, Mouse Trap, Operation - Currently no. Maybe with mods.

Pool and Darts - No. Doesn't seem like the kind of games made for tabletop simulator. And i can only see a really good mod doing it. But hey, if you are looking for a good pool game, allow me to recommend Pool Nation

Thanks for all the information and for the recommendation of Pool Nation, Fotomik.

I would still really enjoy hearing from a dev about this though. Before I decide on making a purchase.

If someone says Crossfire is possible to make, this game is bought, on the spot.

Sorry! is based on Pachisi which is already included in the game, so you should try that.

From what I've seen though, it would be as simple as importing a scan of the Sorry! game board and cards.

What's funny... is that this version of Monopoly is actually better than the official one here on Steam... because you can actually play online!

I'm hoping for Cosmic Encounter and/or Wiz War!

Scrabble would be really cool, but I don't know how easy it would be to create the tiles, since they don't follow the card template.

Yahtzee would be easy, but I don't know if there's a way to write on the scorecards.

Wouldn't Copyright be an issue with some of those?
Please put in Fireball Island and Thunder Road! Both mid 80s Milton Bradley games!

As long as you don't use the trade mark name, nope! Rules can't be copy righted which is all a game is! So change the name enough and bam you're good.
