Game Easy
what tabletop game is easy to play and is fun for a beginner?

should i buy warhammer? also wich tabletop game is great for playing with family?

Warhammer might be fun, but its not easy to play; the rules are very complicated and involved. Armies of minis cost hundreds of dollars. You need a large playing area, and you need opponents.

If you really want to get into a tabletop miniatures game, consider checking your local hobby game stores and groups and find out what people are playing. Some areas like Warhammer; other places, they might be into Warmachine or AT-43 or D&D Miniatures, or who knows what else. Having players around who know the game will make it a lot easier to get into.

If You Are just curious, you might prefer a good fantasy battle boardgame; BattleLore is a great one; a fast moving game of medieval/fantasy warfare with simple to learn mechanics and nice minis. You get a Complete Game in one box.

For family games, you might try Settlers of Catan or Ticket to Ride. Like the fantasy theme? Look at Kingsburg, where you gain the help of advisors to build your kingdom and defend it from invaders. Would the family all like to play on a team? How about Pandemic, where you all work together against the game to stop diseases spreading across the world.

Lots of choices – happy gaming!
