What is Wargamer.com?

Wargamer.com is a news and guides publication for tabletop and hobby gaming. It covers Warhammer 40k, Age of Sigmar, Dungeons and Dragons, Magic: The Gathering, board games, TTRPGs, war games, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and more. If you want editorial coverage, previews, and how-to guides rather than a store or a game publisher, it is worth following.

What the site actually is

Wargamer is a media outlet, not a game company or retailer. Its own description frames it as a source for "latest news and guides" across tabletop and hobby gaming. That distinction matters: when you see a headline about a new board game or a layoff at a publisher, you are reading reporting and commentary, not an announcement from the company itself.

Content you can expect

• News — industry developments, releases, and business changes. A current example on the site covers Wizards of the Coast laying off key community and social media managers for MTG and D&D.
• Guides — practical articles for playing and hobbying.
• Previews and reviews — first looks and assessments of upcoming games. One recent piece describes Lord of the Rings: The King's Gambit as a "beefier" board game than the beloved Star Wars original.
• Board game and TTRPG coverage — including titles like a new Call of Cthulhu strategy board game featuring the old gods "at the height of their power."

Community features

Beyond articles, Wargamer runs a Discord server. The site promotes it for "unhinged tabletop chat, big competitions, AMAs, and more." If you want discussion and events alongside the writing, that is the place to look.

Staying updated

Wargamer offers a newsletter signup for updates. Subscribing is the simplest way to get new coverage without checking the site manually. Note that the signup link is a mailing-list form; the site does not present itself as a paid subscription service.

Who should follow it

If you want to buy games or rules directly, you will need a store or publisher site instead — Wargamer is where you read about them.
