Which games and tabletop hobbies does Wargamer cover?

Updated

Wargamer (wargamer.com) is a news and guides site covering miniature war games, tabletop RPGs, card games, and board games. Its own description names Warhammer 40k, Age of Sigmar, Dungeons and Dragons, Magic: The Gathering, board games, TTRPGs, war games, Pokémon, and Yu-Gi-Oh! as its subjects, so it is a broad tabletop hobby site rather than a single-game publication. If you only play one of those games, you will still find coverage of it, but you will also see the rest of the hobby mixed into the same feed.

What the site covers

The stated coverage breaks down into four main areas:

  • Miniature war games — Warhammer 40k and Age of Sigmar are named first, alongside war games generally.
  • Tabletop RPGs — Dungeons and Dragons and other TTRPGs.
  • Card games — Magic: The Gathering, Pokémon, and Yu-Gi-Oh!.
  • Board games — including general tabletop gaming news.

The site describes its output as "latest news and guides," so expect a mix of announcements and how-to or explainer content rather than reviews alone.

What the current front page shows

The page evidence gives a snapshot of the kinds of stories running at one point in time:

  • A board game story comparing Lord of the Rings: The King's Gambit to "the beloved Star Wars original," described as a "beefier" board game.
  • A news item on Wizards of the Coast laying off "key community and social media managers for MTG and D&D."
  • A story on a new Call of Cthulhu strategy board game featuring the old gods "at the height of their power."
  • A Discord invitation for "unhinged tabletop chat, big competitions, AMAs, and more."

Two things follow from this. First, coverage is not limited to the biggest names — Call of Cthulhu and a Lord of the Rings board game sit alongside Warhammer and D&D. Second, the site runs a community element through Discord, not just articles.

How to decide whether it fits your hobby

If you mainly play… Wargamer is likely to be…
Warhammer 40k or Age of Sigmar Directly relevant — these are named core subjects
D&D or another TTRPG Relevant, including non-D&D systems such as Call of Cthulhu
MTG, Pokémon, or Yu-Gi-Oh! Relevant, including industry news about the publishers
Board games Relevant, including new release coverage
Only one narrow game Useful but mixed — other hobbies appear in the same feed

The trade-off is breadth versus focus. A single-game site will go deeper on your game; Wargamer gives you one place to follow several tabletop hobbies at once, at the cost of seeing content you may not play.

Practical notes

  • The site offers a newsletter signup if you want coverage delivered rather than checking the homepage.
  • It also runs a Discord server for discussion, competitions, and AMAs, which is the community side of the site rather than the editorial side.
  • The description is written in English (en-US), so the coverage is in English.

If your interest is tabletop gaming broadly — miniatures, RPGs, cards, or boards — Wargamer is built to cover all four. If you want depth on exactly one game and nothing else, treat it as one source among several rather than your only one.
