Brilliant catalog of DLC and modded content, often how I spend my evening with friends when we just want to quickly play something everyone has.

The controls take some getting used to, there are a lot of shortcuts that make playing the game easier, and even the basics can feel odd since there are no games that can compare. The way the game simulates physical games means that (unless the DLC or mod has scripts) you have to manually place and move everything around yourself, with minute differences between things like grabbing and holding a deck of cards or just pulling the top card of the deck.

Still, right-click is your friend and I think anyone can learn this, especially if you have friends who know the game better (and using voice chat of some sort really helps).

The only real difference between this and playing board games in real life, is that you can't really see other players' faces, making certain bluffing games more difficult, though that has never stopped me from enjoying things this game has to offer.
