Tabletop Simulator, a game that combines an RPG adventure with classic boards and a physics sandbox, will released on Steam for Linux.
Tabletop Simulator is a title developed and published by Berserk Games and aims to be the only one of its kind. It will allow users to go berserk with anger if they don't succeed in playing any of the included games and destroy everything in sight.
As you’ve no doubt heard over the years from writers and enthusiasts far beardier than I, there are all sorts of reasons for switching to Linux, from financial to ideological to functional, and everything in between. For some tasks, Linux is far superior to Windows. More importantly, though, there are many tasks where Windows isn’t significantly better than Linux — such as surfing the web (Chrome for Ubuntu is the same as Chrome for Windows or OS X). Even for gaming, Linux is definitely catching up with Windows, thanks to Steam and the Source engine.
Football Manager Classic 2014, a simplified version of the famous Football Manager 2014 made by Sports Interactive and heading to PlayStation Vita, will also arrive on Steam for Linux.
This is the fourth article in a series covering completely free and open-source games available for Linux, usually included in any of the popular distributions. These games are all included in the Ubuntu repositories, so you can install them with APT. The other three articles covering 22 other free games can be found at the following locations:
