Tabletop Gaming #115 Happy Birthday to us!

 

Hello gamers!

Hope you brought your dancing shoes and an appetite for cake, because we’re celebrating! Tabletop Gaming magazine launched on Friday 29th May 2015 at UK Games Expo, making us 11 years old this issue. We invited a few familiar faces to help us celebrate, as five Tabletop Gaming Editors reveal their personal highlights (see page 18).

Not content with one major milestone this issue, we’re also hanging up our backpack as our jaunt around the world comes to an end. Sri Lanka is the final destination in 80 Plays Around the World (page 26). We’re some way off Phileas Fogg’s record, as it took Chad Wilkinson seven years and 48,000 words to complete this epic journey!

Elsewhere, it’s a trading card jamboree! Starting with an in-depth look at the new Disney Lorcana Wilds Unknown set (page 12), we ask if anyone still trades these cards (page 40), take a deep dive into the murky world of counterfeit cards (page 42), profile the varying art styles in TCGs and give our verdict on both Azuki (page 67) and Riftbound: Unleashed (page71).

Happy gaming!
