Card games that use a standard deck like this can just be played exactly as you would on a physical table. At any point you can just spawn a deck of 52 cards by going into Objects -> Components -> Cards. There you'll see Standard which will spawn a deck of 52 (press it twice to get the two decks you need), on that same window will be the joker which you can spawn the number you need. From there you just play as you normally would. It's a physics simulator so there's no need for scripting when you have all the pieces.

Thanks for your help. Is there a message board or an appropriate place where I can invite people to play?

You can get it to work with 4 but the targeting gets a little weird since the card doesn't know who's field to drop on when they overlap

Just downloaded this and the MTG Deluxe Table Scripted add-in. Is there a way to like, shortcut all the dragging stuff for drawing cards and make it a little more akin to just click-to-do a command like draw, etc? Kinda defeats the "simulator" part but I'm not playing in VR to care about that part lol

ivy-claw · OP · 5 months ago

On mouse and keyboard you can press a number while hovering over the deck to draw that many cards. In pi table you can press the green hand button. Unfortunately, I don't know how it works in vr, but try checking the controls menu

Tutorial on how to make a card game in TTS?

Posted by HumanCurious · in r/tabletopsimulator · 4 years ago

I have created a card game which I would like to make in TTS as well.
I have just picked up TTS and I was wondering if there are any tutorials on how to make a card game, together with adding rules, in TTS.
It doesn't matter if I have to script the rules, I will figure it out in the end, but a few steps on how to proceed after uploading the deck, would be great.
Are there any tutorials about this, for a recent/latest version?

I just know that if you have the images of the cards you can make a custom card in the object section. There you put a front and a back, and with that you have a custom card

HumanCurious · OP · 4 years ago

Thank you for your answer.

I managed to get my deck in TTS. The question now is how to put in the rules. Like when the game starts, 5 cards should be dealt to each player, when a certain card is played something should happen, and so on.

Or am I missing something and all this needs to be done via scripting the rules?

bobniborg1 · 4 years ago

Not sure on all the scripting but I'd like to say it's awesome when people put the rules in the notebook and maybe a PDF on the table.

Hi, I made a card game

Posted by TheCupKnight · in r/tabletopsimulator · 4 years ago

Hi, I made a card game, that I call, The Art of War the Card Game. A brief description of it goes like this: a 1v1 medieval-fantasy duelling card wargame, where you command mighty armies and magic casting spellcasters, and duel out on a map. It has some similarities to Summoner Wars, but otherwise is quite different.

Here are the rules: The Art of War the Card Game - Google Docs

Oh ok, what about it did not work? If you are having trouble getting it to work on a tabletop simulator, there might be people here who may be able to help.

Otherwise I'm a little confused about what exactly you are looking for. If you are looking for people to try your game, and/or provide you feedback, I would think releasing the game on the workshop would be the best approach for unbiased feedback, and building a community around your game. For example, game designers always say, if people can't figure out the game without you, then that is a design problem you would need to solve if you ever expect to release the game.

Either way though, of course, it's your prerogative. If this is just a passion project and you want someone to just play it with you that's cool too, and I wish you the best of luck!

VCard on Tabletop Simulator

Posted by Abion47 · in r/VCardTCG · 7 months ago

I've added the game to Tabletop Simulator so people can try the game out with their friends online. The mod also includes a tablet with the game rules as well as a sample deck for each of the five colors so people can immediately start playing. (Note: The design of the decks isn't to be the best possible deck composition. They are only to explore different possible play styles while making it as easy as possible to quickly learn how to play the game.)

And just to be clear, I've only used the watermarked cards that are freely available on the website, and the card backs are a custom image I created myself using the booster pack art as a source. I don't want to use any scans of cards because I want to avoid promoting art stealing, counterfeiting, or proxying. I'm also not going to add any of the God cards without Shylily's/GamerSupps' blessing. And finally, I will probably take the mod down if the game gets an official digital version.

I'm really interested in getting the set, but I'm more interested in the gameplay aspect than just collecting.

How does the game feel so far? Does it feel like it has a decent amount of depth so far?

1 upvotes on reddit

Abion47 · OP · 7 months ago

Honestly, the game is War with extra steps. The way that the rules are set up, there is potential for depth and complexity with the release of future sets, but for now the available strategies and play styles don't feel distinct enough to really lead to a strong variety of games. It also doesn't help that all the mascots are identical and there are basically 8-9 effects shared among all the talent cards. I think with time and community involvement, though, the game will get better.

Wow, that's really impressive. I was pretty surprised that they launched the game without any starter decks - it feels like every TCG outright needs an entry-level product to give players an idea of how the game plays. Fantastic on your part to put some together!

The actual gameplay feature is a gimmick is why it's mainly for collecting.

There are certain situations where the rules dont rely seem to function. You just kinda lose the game on the spot and there are situations where the game infinitly loops forever with no solution but to stop playing.

Meta-011 · 7 months ago

Ah, hello again! Hope you enjoyed the con!

Anyway... yeah, the appeal is mostly in the cards being merchandise. Even then, it might have been nice to sell starter decks; I could imagine some fans buying them instead of full booster boxes for collecting purposes (especially if it included a card with a fancy special treatment and/or a booster pack).

Would have been cool if the gameplay side got a bit more attention (from the creators and the fans alike), but... maybe the TCG market's too competitive for that.

looking for people to play draft with on table top sim!! (Beginners welcome)

Posted by --Bunnie-- · in r/mtg · 4 months ago

Hey everyone!

Around me there are no TCGs that offer drafts and I have been really missing drafting MTG. I have hit my breaking point and I want to get back into drafting MTG and seeing all the people enjoying their crazy pulls from draft.

Because of this I am going to be making a discord server open to anybody who wants to learn or play some drafts of various sets. All of the drafts will be played through table top sim on steam.

Platform: Tabletop Simulator - Steam
Time: TBD - whenever people want to (in the discord)
Cost: Nothing... I just wanna run drafts!
Entry level: nothing again, if you want a rundown of strategy or anything else I am happy to talk to you about it because I am a nerd who loves drafting.

Here is the discord if you are interested and I am looking forward to playing with anybody who wants to draft some MTG!!

How do you draft on table top sim?

1 upvotes on reddit

--Bunnie-- · OP · 4 months ago

I dug around and found some pack generators that could be used if people wanna take their time and do everything in table top sim, OR we use a website like draftmancer to do the draft and then copy and paste the decks into table top sim to play some games. I've tried both, and they seem to work decently.

Sounds awesome. How does draft work on TTS? In terms of making packs of boosters mimic the distribution of real cards?

--Bunnie-- · OP · 4 months ago

Currently testing between two methods but each of them work and feel like a draft! Super open to recommendations.

* Through TTS there is a way through generating packs
* Drafting online with draftmancer which is preferrable since it handles everything nicely

Friends and I want to play traditional board and card games online (monopoly, uno, sorry, etc.), can we just get tabletop simulator and play them all?

Posted by corrado33 · in r/tabletopsimulator · 4 years ago

I know licensed games for monopoly and uno exist, but I figured "Why not just get tabletop simulator and buy one game instead of multiple games?"

Do you guys recommend this? Are the games still enjoyable to play on tabletop simulator? Thanks!

Yes, you can.

I've gamed through the pandemic thanks to TTS. I've been exposed to games I'd never have played and bought their physical copies for when we can game in person again. As much as I love in person board gaming and holding/interacting with physical components, there is something to be said about scripted setups, and not having to put anything away at the end of a long session. It's also nice to be able to grab a save and continue another night without worrying about what the cat's going to do to the pieces.

It can be quirky, and it's not the same as being around a table, but it works.

Nemesis is great and very well scripted. Century Gollum is quick to learn and fun to play. Outer Rim is a fun Star Wars game. Clank is fun. I'm waiting on a deck builder called Philosophia: Floating World from kickstarter. I backed it having first played it on TTS. Horrified is a simple... love letter to the universal monster movies.

There are tons of games available, and all for free minus the cost of tts which goes on half off sale all the time.

I would. There's no reason to spend $10 on Uno when you can spend $20 (or $10, if on sale) for Tabletop Simulator and get access to almost any board game imaginable. You won't get the same presentation, but the value you get in TTS is undeniable. Make sure that you at least get the 4-pack and then split the cost savings between your friends (although I would suggest waiting for the sale since you'd be spending half as much money; up to you though).
