I'm really surprised there aren't more board games on steam although I've heard good things about http://store.steampowered.com/app/369990/Gremlins_Inc/

Been a while since I looked into it last but iOS was definitely the go to for software conversions of board games. Don't know that there is a ton of stuff but almost certainly more than on other platforms.

I could see SteamOS really taking off in this way

I have that but have not gotten a chance to play, yet.

Both are excellent games. Good snag.

Yeah, sadly. I have a few on my Nvidia Shield, but not as many as I would like. Steam would be perfect for those, and does have a few.

People trolls or NPC trolls?

People trolls. The survival genre seems to bring out the worst in people.

I should note that my earlier comment is regarding more polished individual products pointed at the masses.

There are some really cool things out there like vassalengine.org which support playing a wide variety of games. Might require some time spent with the system to figure out how things work though.

I saw @scottalanmiller playing Psychonauts over the weekend. That's a great game. I'm not sure which level was my favorite; the milkman, or Goggalor. The theater challenge was probably my least favorite, while the meat circus is damned annoying, too. I've played that game a bunch, and I did the 'get all figments' challenge, too. The Denver Comic-Con is this weekend and one of the ladies that did the voices for Raz's girlfriend is usually there. She's just as adorable as the character.
