What digital age? Indoor tabletop gaming scene enjoys revival in Singapore

Tabletop games are those typically played on a table or other flat surfaces, and include board games, card games, role-playing games and miniature wargames.New: You can now listen to articles.SINGAPORE: Before the internet led to a boom in online games and glued players to their computer and mobile screens, tabletop gaming was all the rage.

Businesses and government institutions have also published their own games to increase public engagement, with the trend growing 10-fold over the past five years, he added. “This industry is very developed in Western countries like the United States, Germany, France, where they support their local game makers,” he added.

The firm also collaborated with iconic comic Mr Kiasu to come up with the Shop Until You Drop card game, where people can play as their favourite characters to get the most discounts. “The reception has been pretty good and business has been fairly stable. More businesses are holding events after COVID-19. We’re also seeing more families coming in with their young kids and it’s a really good bonding time for them,” she added.

There were also areas to play games with friends or like-minded attendees, and an extensive game library to borrow from. “I believe in this digital age, we need more analogue for kids. Instead of just being digital, they should have analogue like painting and artistry,” the store’s founder Alex Huang said.
