Play with friends??

[KatRemark]

Can you play this game with some of your Steam friends? In the description it states, "During each game, one to five players explore a location to unravel a mystery." But scroll down and it says Single Player. So I am confused. I'd like to play with some friends. I think it could be fun. If you can, please tell me how to make it work. Thanks!!

It's a helper app for a tabletop boardgame. Up to five players can play the boardgame, but only one copy of the app is running for everybody.

The boardgame is generally intended for everybody to be in the same room, but there are several ways to overcome that. There is an excellent mod for Tabletop Simulator for Mansions of Madness, for example, which even includes a way to play this app inside a tablet within the simulator.

I've also successfully played this and other cooperative boardgames via zoom and other video conferencing apps.

Thank you for clarifying this for me. Being a bit new to Steam, I wasn't sure how this all worked. Trying to find games online to play with friends that doesn't involve shooting or pvp has been challenging. We like to play things like Catan, Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride etc. But we were wondering if we could find something else new and just couldn't figure out Mansions of Madness.

How do you play the game usnig the Tablet on TTS ? I haven't been able to get it to work (have to use my Tablet at home. Also video conferencing apps are not cheap.

Here's the TTS mod for MoM: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1373667528&searchtext=mansions+of+madness+fantasy+

There is a stack of manuals toward the top of the table. It includes the official game manuals, but also some tip documents. One (looks like a sheet of notepaper) is: "How to get the Mansions of Madness App to work in Table Top Simulator so all can see." It involves using join.me, which is a free screen sharing meeting tool that can be viewed through a browser on the TTS tablet.

Unless you're talking about paying for bandwidth, I'm not sure what you mean. Plenty of free options. I've used both Zoom and Discord for playing games over video, and haven't paid a penny.

Join Me is no longer free.

Hmmm. Looks like they changed that at the end of May. Still many other free options. For the simulated tablet you'll want screen sharing (not just video conferencing) that can be presented through a browser without an app download. To avoid posting a soon to be obsolete link, I suggest googling "free screen sharing" and you'll find a pile of options.

Good luck, and if you find something to replace join.me that works for you, please share.
