When looking to play the Digimon TCG remotely, as many had to do at the game’s launch, there are plenty of ways to play. Some players aren’t looking to play via webcams, and are still waiting on Bandai’s official simulator. Simulators in existing table top simulators such as Untap.in and Tabletop Simulator on Steam were the way to go. Untap had the benefit of letting you play the Digimon TCG free but was sorely unoptimized. Tabletop Simulator isn’t free but is far less clunky to use. A new challenger, developed by Kaito, based on a similar Yu-Gi-Oh! Client “Duelingbook” entered the fray.

Digimon TCG Free Deck Building and Account Creation

Logging in just requires registering with a username and password. With that, you can begin creating decks and battling. Unlike other simulators that allow players to import from digimoncard.io/dev/app, the deck builder is self-isolated. Also, unintuitively, its a click and drag rather than just click to add cards to the deck. At launch, dragging doesn’t work unless a card is searched first from the library instead of the full shown library. When the deck is ready, it can be named and saved, and located in the Profile screen. You can then select it for battle.

Free Simulators can be clunky

Matchmaking shows every online user, who can then be invited to a lobby. Once in game, players should familiarise themselves with the various buttons, as not all are intuitive. Text versions of effects are on the left side, and a text chat, should you need to clarify effects is on the right. To rematch, click your opponent’s icon, and to forfeit and/or leave a lobby, click your own icon. Clicking a card in play will suspend it, dragging it at another card or security icon will show an attack declaration. Clicking the security number will reveal security. All revealed cards pop up and must be dragged to the field/hand/trash where necessary.
