Miniature games are tabletop games that use small figurines, often called miniatures, to represent characters, units, or vehicles. Players typically move these miniatures on a game board or terrain, engaging in strategic gameplay that can involve combat, exploration, or resource management. Popular genres include fantasy, science fiction, and historical settings.
These games often require players to create or customize their miniatures, which can be painted and detailed for a personal touch. Examples of well-known miniature games include Warhammer 40,000, Dungeons & Dragons, and Star Wars: Legion. Players often enjoy the social aspect of gaming together in clubs or at events.
