tabletop games

Games on furniture

Tabletop games are games played on a flat surface, typically a table, as opposed to video games or physical sports.

The category includes board games, card games, dice games, and role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons.

The term gained currency as video games became dominant, distinguishing analog play: We host a weekly tabletop games night.
