But of course, with dedicated apps, everyone has to have a copy (not that they don’t have to have TTS, but that’s one purchase for thousands of games) and frequently TTS mods are much much faster about including expansion content (if the apps even get around to it) and vanishingly few boardgame apps support fan-made content and it’s more work to add even if they do have mod support. Plus, the rules enforcement can be a bit draconian in terms of letting you undo fuckups. So, I like the dedicated apps in a few cases, mostly for solo play, but I’ve ended up defaulting to TTS most of the time. Spirit Island, for example - the app is nice, but it’s just the base game and I think the first two promo spirits right now, and I really gotta have Branch and Claw at least and preferably Jagged Earth. Which a very nicely scripted TTS mod has covered. Or Sentinels of the Multiverse. Very nice, complete these days, even finally put in Workshop support…but it’s way easier to play with friends on TTS and include e.g. The Cauldron or potentially other fan decks.
