Our Top 5 Tabletop Games

October 3, 2019

Tabletop has always been around, but it’s only recently that it’s started to attract the attention of people and inspire businesses to help form communities such as board game cafes. In this top 5 tabletop games article, we’re here to show you just which tabletop games are worth your time.

These tabletop games are best played with a group of friends, but some can be played between two people.

With that in mind, let’s get to it!

Dungeons and Dragons

Oh come on, you had to know this one was coming!

In Dungeons and Dragons, there is a Dungeon Master and a group of players that must work together to tell a story in this role-playng tabletop game. It’s a game that is currently on its 5th edition, and has gained the attention of millions of people thanks to well-known videocasts like Critical Role.

Anyone can get into it, and it is super, suuuuper fun.

Exploding Kittens

Exploding Kittens is technically a card game, but considering it can be played on a table, we’re going to allow it. After all, it’s a fantastic game that’s easy to figure out: don’t get the exploding kitten card, or you’re out!

How to prevent this from happening depends on the content of the cards you have in your hand. For example, you can pass on the exploding kitten to someone else or even get rid of the fuse. It’s a fun, engaging game that your friends will enjoy.

Ladies and Gentlemen

Ladies and Gentlemen is super hard to get in the UK, which is a shame because it’s a game that is a lot of fun. In this game, you’re split into pairs — one being the lady, and the other being the gentlemen. The goal is simple: become the most pretentious, but famous couple in the entire ball!

This game is perfect for those who like to role-play as hoity-toity socialites, all without the actual judgment of the people around you.

RISK

Risk is an oldie, but a goldie too. It can be a very long game, as the aim of the game is quite literally to take over everything. Though it may take longer than usual board games, it is a very rewarding game to play against your friends and family.

So why not RISK it and give this tabletop game a go?

Dread

With Halloween getting closer, Dread is the perfect game to play for those who want to play a spooky RPG game with friends and family. There can be a wide array of players, but only one GM (game master).

The GM tells the story, using Jenga tiles to help. If the tower falls, the player dies or is removed from the game.
