Ever dreamed of running your own miniature wargaming store? Tabletop Game Shop Sim, the upcoming management sim from developer Knight Fever Games, gives players the chance to do just that when it launches on PC via Steam in 2025. The announcement was made during the Games Made in France showcase.
In Tabletop Game Shop Sim, you’re not just a store owner—you’re a passionate member of the tabletop community, building a business around the hobby you love. From setting up shelving units to restocking hot items and adjusting prices to stay competitive, everything about running a real tabletop store is here, wrapped in a cozy management gameplay loop.
Build a Business Around Your Passion
Your mission is to turn a humble shop into the go-to destination for local board game and miniature fans. You’ll design the store layout, manage your inventory, and keep an eye on the books as you grow your customer base. Hire staff who know their wargames, train them to assist customers efficiently, and react to trends as supply and demand constantly shift.
Collect, Paint, Sell—or Keep
Beyond the business sim elements, there’s a whole creative side to the game. Players can open mystery miniature packs to collect rare parts, then assemble and paint the models themselves. Want to make a profit? Sell your figures to eager collectors. Prefer to build your own legendary display case? Keep the best ones and earn prestige by showcasing them in-store.
The more impressive your painted miniatures, the more your store’s reputation grows—so mastering those brush skills pays off.
Become a Community Hub
As your store’s popularity grows, so does your role in the local gaming scene. Host lively game nights, organize tournaments, and welcome high-profile customers for special events. Launch new products, expand your floorspace, and become the most talked-about tabletop store in town.
A Game Made by a True Fan
“As an avid Miniature Wargame enthusiast, I’ve always wanted to create a game that captures that feeling,” said Adrien Britta, Co-Founder of Knight Fever Games. “I can’t wait to see everyone open their own tabletop shops, create memories with customers, and craft a successful business from such a beloved hobby.”
Tabletop Game Shop Sim is shaping up to be a love letter to miniature wargaming and the community that surrounds it. Whether you’re in it for the business strategy or the joy of customizing miniatures, there’s something here for every tabletop fan.
Wishlist it now on Steam and stay tuned for updates as the game gears up for its 2025 launch.
