Critique-al Hit: Tabletop Holiday Shopping Guide
Having trouble finding the perfect gift for a special Tabletop Gamer/Hobbyist in your life? I have some solid suggestions for the table top enthusiasts out there.
The world of tabletop gaming can be incredibly overwhelming, doubly so for people not familiar with all it entails. The best option if you have no basis for what to get is going to be a gift certificate to the recipient’s FLGS (Friendly Local Game Store). That will make it easy for them and you to ensure they get just the right thing.
For folks who know their Gamer pretty well, here are suggestions based on their interests.
As always, click the link in the product description or the image to get more info from the seller’s website.
