components of games are goals, rules,
challenge, and interaction. Games
generally involve mental or physical

Tabletop game is a general term used to refer to board games, card games, dice games, miniatures wargames, tile-based games and other games that are normally played on a table or other flat surface. The term is used to distinguish these types of games from sports and video games, which today enjoy more popularity than most tabletop games.
The term is also used to distinguish role-playing games from role-playing video games, although role-playing games may not necessarily require a wide playing surface.
