The excellent Tabletop Simulator available from Steam has allowed me to leverage some PhotoShop skills into ultra-fast prototyping of board game ideas I’ve had over the past handful of years. I’ve always wanted to make a grand 4X space strategy board game in homage to the classic PC greats such as Master of Orion.
This is my 3rd or so attempt in the past 4 years and the most success in terms of simplicity and play-time enjoyment I’ve met yet. If you would like to give it a shot and own Tabletop Simulator, just do a search for my name on Steam, friend me up (playtesting is currently limited to friend-only visibility) and we can have a game setup in seconds.
