Board game arena
Tabletop is the flat upper surface of a table.
As an adjective, it describes games played on a table rather than electronically—tabletop RPGs, tabletop gaming—distinguishing dice-and-paper or board games from video games.
Tabletop also describes small items sized for display on tables: a tabletop fountain, tabletop Christmas tree.
