Boardgaming in 2018!

My DC boardgaming friend from down the street is moving. I am deeply saddened. We each have two small kids and we share the notion that a great night out (other than going out with our wives) is playing a board game together. We’ve battled through Pandemic Legacy, Forbidden Stars, Clockwork Wars and Star Wars Rebellion. I didn’t have a chance to bring out Spirit Island or Gloomhaven or War of the Ring or…it goes on.

Can you all let me know some good options for online board gaming and what setups you use for video/speech while playing? I have Tabletop Simulator on Steam but I couldn’t get a good handle on controlling the game I tried (Clockwork Wars). I am going to study up on using it now though.

BTW, we are hooked on Clockwork Wars. I saw the designer (Hassan Lopez) has a new game in the works: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/220224/infamous

Thanks for any help.
