The Board Game Night Humble Bundle looks to be another good one, especially if you love games styled more like board games. So here's what's in it and what compatibility to expect for Steam Deck and Desktop Linux.

Coming from Arpentor Studio, Dawnmaker is a turn-based city building and deckbuilding game that feels like playing a board game.

Terraria the smash-hit indie game is being turned into a tabletop experience with Terraria: The Board Game. It's crowdfunding on Kickstarter, and obviously it was going to do well.

Binogure Studio (City Game Studio) recently announced Fortune Avenue, their own take on a Monopoly-like experience that will enter Early Access this year.

With a planned full release in 2024, developers BrutalHack and Shapes and Dreams have put up a demo for Beacon Patrol - a relaxing game all about exploring the ocean. It's actually a digital adaption of the board game of the same name, one that's quite highly rated too.

Originally released on Steam back in February, Dark Chess now has a Native Linux version available and it brings some interesting sounding adjustments to the classic to really change how you play.

Realm Architect is an attempt to make a next-gen virtual tabletop experience, while also keeping it simpler to get into and keep running. It also looks great and it's confirmed to get Linux support now too.

After a bunch of early testing builds, the developer of the free and open source tabletop sim Tabletop Club has announced the first stable release.

Free, open source and getting better all the time. Tabletop Club has a fresh Beta release available with a whole lot of fixes and improvements.

Want a Tabletop Simulator like experience but prefer free and open source games? Keep an eye on Tabletop Club.

This is really great to see! Armello from developer League of Geeks has a fresh update out, and it restores full Linux support.

Do you love Slay the Spire and want to take it into the real world? There's a Board Game being made for it.

Overboss looks like a fun idea. Coming from the same team that gave us Legend of Keepers, it has you emerge from the underworld to take over the overworld.

Here's another developer who upgraded their game ready for the Steam Deck, with the popular 100% Orange Juice.

One Deck Dungeon developer Handelabra Games Inc. announced recently that a new upgrade is available, which should make the experience on Steam Deck much nicer.

FoundryVTT version 9 has been released, further improving many big parts of this excellent cross-platform virtual tabletop experience and it's looking awesome.

Beamdog, known for their RPG revamps like Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition and Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition have finally pushed Axis & Allies 1942 Online out of Early Access as a finished game with full cross-play.

Take down the enemy King with a great big laser, that's the aim of the game in Deflection. It's basically the original Laser Chess updated for modern platforms by Coreffect Interactive.

Yes, this isn't exactly Linux gaming (we do cover other geeky things…) but the Humble RPG Book Bundle: Starfinder is still thoroughly interesting with some physical goodies included too.

Brass: Birmingham, a popular board game that had a big and successful crowdfunding campaign which was the sequel to Martin Wallace's original game Brass has now been made into a digital game.
