Axis by axis
Execution0 vs 1
Tabletop Simulator leans harder on execution: Fiddly physics manipulation, never a skill ceiling
Reads2 vs 4
Tabletop Simulator leans harder on reads: Depends entirely on the tabletop game played with humans
Variance5 vs 4
AI Dungeon leans harder on variance: Unpredictable AI generation drives every turn
Optimization2 vs 3
Tabletop Simulator leans harder on optimization: Strategy lives in the hosted game, not the simulator
