About Tabletop Game Shop Simulator
Tabletop Game Shop Simulator lets you run a tabletop‑gaming store, handling pricing, furniture layout, and inventory. You can stock minis, paints, dice, mystery packs and other hobby items while hiring staff to share the workload.

01 / THE GUIDE
Shop Management
The core loop involves setting prices, moving furniture, and choosing which minis, paints, dice and mystery packs to display. These decisions directly affect the shop’s appearance and what customers see when they enter.
Hiring staff such as cashiers, restockers, and painters reduces the tasks you must perform yourself, allowing you to focus on other aspects like inventory or challenges.
- Experiment with different price points for a single item and observe sales changes.
- Consider placing high‑traffic goods near the entrance to increase visibility.

Collect, Build & Paint
Opening mystery packs reveals rare miniature parts that you can glue together. Once assembled, the model is ready for further work such as painting.
Painted minis can be sold for profit or kept in a private stash, giving you a personal collection alongside the shop’s inventory.
- Balance selling and hoarding to keep cash flow steady.
- Use painted minis as display pieces to draw customer interest.
