How to install Tabletop Simulator mods

Installing a mod on Tabletop Simulator couldn’t be easier. There are two ways, depending on whether you’re going to download the mod file or get it from Steam Workshop. Read below for an explanation of both methods.

The Settlers of Catan

The Settlers of Catan is a version of the well-known board game Catan. In each game, which lasts an average of 90 minutes, you’ll become settlers of an island where you must obtain and trade resources and gradually build your own settlements. If you’re familiar with the original, you’ll be exploring your own island and amassing your fortune in no time… but watch out for the robber! One of the strong points of The Settlers of Catan is the expanded gameplay compared to the classic, as it allows games with up to six players. Also, you can create custom game boards, or, if you wish, random ones. We highly recommend it.

The most ambitious players could become multi-millionaires, while others were content to settle down with a big family. The possibilities for fun were endless, and now you can relive that experience while playing with friends all over the world. Every session of The Game of Life needs two to six players and lasts approximately 60 minutes. Feel like playing this title again?

Clue 

Clue is one of those games that never go out of style. Maybe it’s because everyone loves a good mystery story, but it’s always fun to become Jessica Fletcher for a day. In Clue, each player is a guest at a fancy dinner party where the host is murdered. The goal of the game is to investigate the crime, or, if you are the murderer, throw the other players off the scent so you can get away with it. So what do you think? Was the murder committed by Miss Scarlet with the candelabra in the library, or by Colonel Mustard in the living room with the derringer? Find out the next time you play this classic online.

Cards Against Humanity 

Cards Against Humanity is one of the funnest and also most outrageous card games out there. The rules are simple: one player asks a question, and the other players have to answer it using one of their cards. The person who comes up with the funniest and most irreverent response is the winner. The Tabletop Simulator version offers the same gaming experience as the physical title, the only difference being that you can play with friends all over the world. What’s more, this version comes with expansions 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the game and promises to be updated with even more packs. It’s perfect if you love a good belly laugh and are curious to find out how twisted your friends can be.

Risk – The Game of Global Domination

Risk is another classic that deserves a spot on any ranking of Tabletop Simulator mods. It offers a nearly identical gaming experience to the board game, but advantages such as, for example, a much bigger map, and the fact that you’ll soon be able to play with up to six people. It’s perfect for strategy fans who often have a hard time finding enough players to join them for a game of Risk.

Betrayal at House on the Hill is an incredibly fun board game for fans of B horror movies.

The real danger is inside your group, because there’s a traitor. As players investigate the house, they’ll find objects that will slowly reveal the traitor’s identity, but… will you survive until you find out?

Dead of Winter

Dead of Winter will immerse you a zombie pandemic. In this popular semi-cooperative title, you’ll collaborate with friends to obtain resources and weapons, and of course, to survive the zombies. Each player will have a hidden objective to meet. The fact that it’s a secret is key to making this game as fun as possible. Although some objectives are as simple as collecting items and ensuring the group’s survival, others imply betraying your team, putting them in danger, or even murdering them when they least expect it. Fun!
