So board games are a passion of mine. I've got quite the collection in my guest closet and it's always growing, much to my wife's and my wallet's dismay. Fortunately, there is a lovely little computer program that's on Steam called Tabletop Simulator and I've had a lot of luck playing that with friends.

Since we have a discord channel all handy-like, I'd like to try to get some of you fine folks together for some online board games. Is there any interest?

Very much so. There is an online version of Catan I believe that is supposed to be good.

One of the great things about the Tabletop Simulator program is that it has a bunch of games that can be played. It all really depends on what we want to play.

Catan is, surprisingly, not a game that I like. But I've played it before and I'll play it again if someone else wants to play it.

Card games, board games, people have 'modded' in a ton of different games to the game..... OK that sentence is more confusing than it needs to be.
Table top simulator has mods - I think it's surprisingly easy to make a mod for it, they try to have it easy to work with. Mods themselves are board games. I think I've seen stuff like Betrayal at House On The Hill, Apples to Apples style stuff, etc. Just need to get Tabletop sim itself, and then everyone gets the same mods that they want to play. I'm totally up for joining!

Currently, I have Betrayal at House on the Hill w/ Widow's Walk, Blood Rage, Cthulhu Wars, Red Dragon Inn, Star Wars Imperial Assault, Kingdom Death: Monster, X-Wing Miniatures, Zombicide: Black Plague, Lords of Waterdeep, King of Tokyo, and Mage Wars Arena in my queue. Another nice thing about the program is that only the host needs to have the game file downloaded. All the other players get the info from the server when joining.
