What are Tabletop Games?

Tabletop gaming refers to playing games on a surface or table. It involves using game pieces and/or accessories, such as dice, tape measures, battle markers, game boards, miniatures, cards and more. Some games are group-oriented, many are geared for 2 players, and some you can play by yourself.

Board games vary significantly in complexity with most including an element of chance, and some being based purely on chance. For example, many board games require players to roll a dice, which depends largely on chance, whereas others are more skill-based or focused on turn-taking.
