[QUOTE="Abstruse, post: 9114271, member: 6669048"] UK-based pop culture retailer [URL='https://www.merchoid.com/uk/blog/post/rolling-dice-in-crisis-the-unexpected-boom-of-tabletop-gaming/']Merchoid surveyed 1,479 customers[/URL] about their entertainment choices and in particular tabletop gaming. [CENTER][ATTACH type="full"]293910[/ATTACH][/CENTER] According to the survey, 36.5% of respondents are playing more board games or tabletop games now than before the pandemic-related lockdown with 25.5% saying they were playing “a little more” and 11% saying “a lot more”. Also, 75.9% of participants in the survey said that the in-person element of board games and tabletop games is important to them, while only 24.1% said it was not important. [CENTER][ATTACH type="full"]293911[/ATTACH][/CENTER] The post also documents the rising interest in tabletop gaming from other sources, including an 85% increase in interest in Dungeons & Dragons according to Google search data since 2020 and a 49% increase in Warhammer. This growth contrasts with a plateau in other entertainment sources such as streaming movie and television platforms like Netflix and Disney+ and a theatrical box office that is still down 33% from pre-pandemic levels. This increase in interest in tabletop gaming also translates to revenue for the two largest companies with Wizards of the Coast showing 46.1% revenue increase from 2020 to 2022 while Games Workshop showed a revenue increase of 53.8%.
