Mylapore, Chennai since 2016
A game shop run by people who play
We opened in 2016 with 80 games and one table. Today we stock 1,200+ titles, host game nights every week and deliver across India.
Our story
Started around one kitchen table
Karthik started Tabletop after years of carrying board games back from trips abroad for friends. Chennai had players, but nowhere to find or try modern games.
We still work the same way. Every game on our shelves has been played by someone on staff, so when you ask whether it suits your family, you get an answer from experience, not a product description.
What we believe
How we run the shop
We play before we sell
No game goes on the shelf until at least two staff members have played it with a real group.
Honest advice
If a game won't suit your group, we'll say so, even if it's the more expensive one.
Packed like it's ours
Every order is checked for missing pieces and packed with corner protection before it leaves.
