Tabletop Gaming Manual is experiencing a remarkable resurgence. Sales of hobby board games have seen a significant increase, with double-digit growth yearly for the past decade. This surge reflects a growing interest in the physical, non-digital aspects of gaming, coupled with the social interaction it offers.

Board gaming is now one of the most popular sectors on crowd-funding platforms like Kickstarter. Media coverage has expanded accordingly, with celebrity endorsements such as Wil Wheaton's Tabletop show, boasting 1.5 million subscribers, and major international newspapers like The Guardian featuring regular board game content.

Board game cafes are emerging across Britain and America, drawing their own wave of media attention.

Tabletop Gaming Manual delves into all aspects of games, ranging from popular and traditional types to role-playing and miniatures. It provides specific and specialist information for each category, catering to enthusiastic hobbyists and serious gamers, as well as intriguing those new to the world of tabletop gaming.
