In the year 2050, the once utopian city of San Lazaro was crippled by a mysterious virus. Quarantined and cut off from the rest of the world, the survivors band together in order to escape the city before they too succumb to the infection. The only thing standing between them and salvation are the rival factions looking to accomplish their own goals in this chaos, and the “CyMS”; once ordinary people that have grown maddeningly violent and unpredictable for reasons unknown.

Every character in the game is represented by a detailed 32mm-scale miniature, possessing their own rich history and personality, as well as powerful cybernetic abilities! Play the competitive or solo/co-op modes through various scenarios to survive the crisis! The game is filled with innovative game mechanics that make every game thrilling and exciting, ushering players deeper and deeper into the gripping lore of San Lazaro and those who fight in its chaotic streets.


Play it now on Tabletopia, and if you're quick enough, you can still grab it as a late pledge!

Tabletopia will be partnering with The Dice Tower and BoardGameGeek as a sponsor for their combined digital con: Virtual-Gaming-CON. The event will be held on June 24-28 from midnight GMT-5 (Dallas time).

As part of the event and for us to help gamers come together in a year where in-person cons are no longer possible, we will be making our ENTIRE games library free for anyone to play (including Premium games).

We will be working on a schedule for events, Learn & Play events, livestreams, and more which we'll be releasing closer to the event. More information about how to access the convention will also be released at a later time.

Additionally, as a way of supporting the people who make the games possible in the first place, any publishers with Premium games who would have normally recieved income share for the event period will still be paid accordingly.

Tom Vasel and Scott Alden chatted on yesterday's Dice Tower "Daily Chat" about the event in further detail.

We're really excited about this partnership and we hope to see you (digitally) there! More details to follow!

Mitropia is a strategic area-control game rooted in the mechanics of the ancient game Go, with surprise elements that make it fun for every player! Use tribal powers, pattern movement cards, special actions, and more to capture the most territory and prisoners on the fields of the Gods.

The underlying game mechanics are simple to learn, but create intricate strategic and tactical challenges every time you play. The card drawing and random board generation elements of the game create a more even playing field between advanced players and casual players. These elements can also be dialed down or removed for pure strategic contests. With Mitropia, you get the best of both worlds combined: meaningful strategic gameplay but fun surprises.

This advanced twist on a classic is now available to play on Tabletopia, and only has a few days left on Kickstarter!

In 2004 there was a game that swept the gaming landscape like wildfire. It was praised for being easy to learn, but full of deep strategy in a time where such games were rarities. It was nominated and won various awards. Famous reviewer Tom Vasel saved this game for his 200th review, back in a time when he was writing them rather than making videos. To say this was a special game, is to understate its presence in board game history. However, it’s now 2020, and publisher Cranio Creations is bringing a new edition of Mahraja to the fore.

Seven years. Seven statues. That’s how long you have to become to bring the most prestige for your god, and thus become victorious. You will plan actions in secret, working out a strategy that must shift to the actions of your rival priests. Perhaps you will build across many cities, or limit yourself to a few and hope that you can gain a huge reward, or focus on shrines and get great rewards from other priests as they move about the map. This is played over a cool 90 minutes, a solid length for a game with such depth.

Previously the player's exact role in the game was nebulous, more that of an overseer, and it felt a little light on theme. However here in this new Maharaja, you play as priests travelling the lands, building shrines and statues of the god you follow. You hope to gain the favor of the Maharaja, the great king of India as he moves about the land year on year to his different residences. Overall this theme shift vastly improves the feel of the game, bringing it in line with its gameplay.



Legendary designers Wolfgang Kramer and Michael Kiesling (Tikal, Torres) have returned to this title and with it brought additional nuance that provides additional player agency, and freedom to strategize over new possibilities. For new players, this comes in the form of providing a host of victory point options, and characters that will regularly have players interacting with one another.

To say Maharaja is a game of choices is an understatement. While at its core it is an Area Control game (El Grande, Scythe), the secret, simultaneous actions and variable character abilities all combine to give a truly staggering amount of options. This leads to a vastly replayable experience with each game playing out in different ways even if you stick to the same general strategy. Will you be able to make the cities of India shine with divine glory? Or will you be forever shunned and incur the wrath of your Maharaja? Find out today.



Until the 1st of June, players playing Maharaja on Tabletopia will be helping to unlock Kickstarter Exclusives for the physical version of the game. Be sure to check out their Kickstarter which is live NOW!
