I'll have to dig deeper into the creation mechanic but this would fill a need that I've got to recreate table-top games but for distributed groups of friends that haven't been able to devote the same amount of time as before to gaming.

We've been trying to work through Risk: Legacy, Pandemic, or other, longer-run games (I would think Axis & Allies and other longer-run strategy games as good candidates for this thing) in-person for years and it's hard to find the time.

It'd be awesome to be able to continue things on a platform like this, but would obviously necessitate creating a version of the game on the platform first. I like the concept!

Yeah I built this because it's painful to coordinate playing tabletop games online - with Tabletop Simulator or individual apps it's time consuming to get everyone to purchase/install/setup a copy just to get started.

Hopefully one day publishers will put some of those games up on Screentop!
