In a recent study, tabletop gamers who regularly play non-digital games scored better on memory and thinking tasks. Tabletop gamers have access to various games that save their eyeballs from too much screen time and give their brains a workout. Board games, card games, trivia, and even tabletop RPG games get friends and family together and provide them with something familiar to focus on. Game nights are always a hit, so we don’t blame anyone who loves an excellent multiplayer in-person game. If you are looking for a gift for the tabletop gamer, we have curated this list of ideas under €50.
For the Long Haul Gamer
Catan is a strategy game created in 1995 that is a gateway to modern-style board games. It is a game that is strategy based and easy to understand. With over thirty different Catan-related games, expansions, extensions, editions, and spin-offs, this gift will keep the long-haul gamer occupied for a long time.
For the Know it All Gamer
Trivia is a hit for gamers who know the most off-the-wall facts about everything. From movies to history, trivia questions are a great way to show off the knowledge they already know while learning some new facts. Plus, it is a big hit with friends or family on game nights.
For the Cardholder
Card games are a sure thing for gamers who love to show their cards. You can go traditional with your gift and snag them a game like UNO. But you could also go with a new-age game that is a hit for playing with friends, like Cards Against Humanity. Of course, a personalised deck of cards would be cherished by any cardholder as well.

For the Strategic Gamer
If they are always one move ahead of everyone else and love playing strategy-based games, then a chess set is a brilliant gift for the strategic gamer. It will help them hone their strategy skills without all the frills that other games add. Learning the basics and then building on those is what chess is all about.
For the RPG Gamer
Although role-playing games have been around since the 70s, games like Dungeons and Dragons have become widely popular in the last few years. If D&D is their game of choice, then anything related to it is a perfect gift for the RPG gamer. D20 dice sets, dice trays, manuals, and battle figurines are just a few ideas to get you started.
For the Old School Gamer
There are certain board games that everyone seems to know how to play. This is the realm of the old-school gamer. Do you know that friend who always wants to play scrabble on game nights? Now is your chance to get them a new board to replace their used one. Monopoly and the Game of Life are other traditionally well-known games that would make brilliant gifts.
For the High Roller
Dice are a fan favourite of pretty much any tabletop gamer. Getting them their own set of dice to play with would help them add that personal touch to their game. Who knows? Your gift could be their lucky pair of dice, in which case, they would be forever grateful.
For the Sherlock Holmes Gamer
If hunting down clues and finding the culprit is their thing, you have a Sherlock Holmes gamer on your hands. Murder mystery games like Cluedo are perfect for these clue-hunting sleuths. Was it the butler in the kitchen with a candlestick? Odds are, these gamers will know before the rest of the group does.
