Legacy games
A relatively recent trend in tabletop games is the idea of creating your own, custom version of a game.
Competitive or casual?
People play tabletop games for different reasons.
Charts and tables
If you play in a regular games group, you probably play certain games several times - you may even have one game that is your group's go-to game.
Food, drink and sticky fingers
Enjoying a games night doesn't just consist of playing a game with a group of friends or likeminded people - but usually also drinks, snacks and other foodstuff.
Too many choices
Complex games can be great fun.
Dicey workers
There are so many different games mechanics out there across the various tabletop games available these days.
A mountain of games
Once you get hooked on tabletop games, you quickly amass a mountain of games.
Games for everyone
Recent tabletop games are aimed at younger as well as older players, widening the age range.
Family games
The recent launch of Haunt the House and a visit to UK Games Expo where I picked up a copy of Spaghetti made me think about what family games are on the market and what distinguishes them from other tabletop games.
Playtesting
When creating a new tabletop game, a large chunk of time is spent on testing.
