We’re thrilled to introduce the Tabletop Family Top Choice Seal, a mark of excellence awarded to games that stand out in all the right ways. This seal isn’t just about what’s trendy or popular — it’s about recognizing games that deliver an outstanding experience for players. 

What does it take for a game to earn the Tabletop Family Top Choice Seal? 

Here are the key elements we look for: 

1. Enjoyability

A game must be genuinely fun to play! Whether it sparks laughter, strategic thinking, or friendly competition, a Top Choice game is one that players can find a high level of enjoyment while playing. This can look different for each game, thoughtful strategy decisions, big laughter moments, or cooperative collaboration. Whatever it is, games with this seal are ones we consider to be highly enjoyable to play! 

2. Clear and Understandable Rules

Rules shouldn’t feel like a battle before the game even starts. A Top Choice game has clear, well-written instructions that make it easy for players to get started and minimize confusion.

3. Replayability

A great game keeps players coming back. Whether it’s through engaging mechanics, variable strategies, or dynamic interactions, a Top Choice game must offer fresh and enjoyable experiences across multiple playthroughs.

4. High-Quality Components

We believe a game should feel as good as it plays. Durable cards, well-designed pieces — these details matter to you, and the matter to us!

5. A Top-Tier Rating

If we give the Tabletop Family Top Choice Seal to a game, it means that we would rate it a high 8 out of 10 or greater. Only the best games make the cut!

When you see the Tabletop Family Top Choice Seal, you can trust that the game has been played and approved by us. It means the game isn’t just good — it’s exceptional.
