abstract:Tabletop game is a general term used to refer to board games, card games, dice games, miniatures wargames, tile-based games and other games that are normally played on a table or other flat surface. The term is used to distinguish these types of games from sports and video games, which today enjoy more popularity than most tabletop games.
Numenera itself sounds like my kind of tabletop game streamlined enough to make action and story the primary focus rather than spending all your time doing making elaborate modifier calculations.
The game looks and feels just like a classic tabletop romp through a Dungeons and Dragons or HeroQuest battle, infused with a CCG backdrop that really makes things sizzle.
