A Nerdy, Funny, Unfiltered Guide to the Games You Actually Want to Play

Hey there, fellow dice goblin. If you’ve ever:

• Googled “board games that won’t make my 5-year-old cry”
• Thought Gen Con should be a national holiday
• Felt personally victimized by a three-hour rulebook
• Or just want a game night that doesn’t end in bloodshed or boredom …

You’re in the right place.

We’re Tabletop Gurus — your slightly chaotic but deeply knowledgeable guide to all things board games, card games, RPGs, and tabletop magic. Our motto? Enlightened Gaming for All. 

Why We’re Here (And Why You Should Stay)

We built this site for people who:

• Love playing games with their kids, friends, or grown-up adventuring party
• Want real, honest reviews and recs (not just Amazon top sellers)
• Are tired of websites that feel like homework or just copy the back of the box
• Believe in the power of laughter, learning, and a little cardboard competition
• Want to find the right game for their people—without sifting through 1,000 duds

Whether you’re a parent trying to get your kid off a screen, or a full-on Gen Con veteran with a dice tower taller than your dog, or even if you’re someone who just wants to play something fun that isn’t Uno …

We see you. We got you. And we’ve probably been you.

What Makes Us Different

We’re actual game nerds. With actual opinions. Who actually play the games we talk about.

And most importantly?

We believe games are for everyone — no matter your age, background, budget, or experience level.

If you’re here to connect more with your kids, partner, friend group, or local RPG crew, we’re here to help you make that happen. And we’ll try to make you laugh along the way. (Dad jokes unlocked.)

Thanks for visiting — we hope you’ll come back often, bring a friend, and stay for game night.

Game on,

— Your Gurus 🎲
