    08/02/2022 Duración: 01h17min

    Tabletop games have been making a move to the digital world through Tabletop Simulator and digital versions of tabletop games you know and love.  Physical games offer the benefits of in-person experiences and the ability to use the cards and pieces the developers created, but digital games have an advantage of letting people play together during the time of COVID and the ability to demo games in a cost effective way. What do we think about these two approaches to tabletop gaming?  That’s what we want to talk about this week on the Free Play Podcast.
