What Tabletop Gaming Llc does

TableTop Gaming LLC is a worker cooperative tabletop hobby retailer headquartered in downtown Syracuse, New York, founded in 2022 and operating with 1-10 employee-owners. The company sells board games, trading card games (Lorcana, One Piece TCG, Magic: The Gathering, Digimon TCG, Pokemon, Star Wars: Unlimited, Riftbound, and My Hero Academia CCG), role-playing games (Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, Cowboy Bebop RPG), and accessories (dice, TCG accessories, card sleeves), with curated collections including "Staff Picks" and "Best Sellers" and a secondary-market singles buy/sell service for select TCG lines. The business is built on a Shopify e-commerce platform (ttgaming.quest) with US-wide shipping, complemented by a single physical storefront at 466 South Salina St that also operates an on-premises bar on Thursday through Saturday evenings.

The company is structured as a flat worker cooperative with one-person-one-vote governance and a 70% consensus threshold for proposals, with member distributions allocated quarterly based on the ratio of roles each member holds versus the total organizational roles; no external investors or parent company is identified. Its core technology is the Shopify storefront; no proprietary platform, AI, or app is described. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales across catalog categories, a TCG singles transaction service with a Sunday specialist, on-premises bar/hospitality sales, gift cards, and ancillary services such as pre-orders. Pricing is set at a default 10% off MSRP across products, with tiered economy shipping that becomes free at $125+, a 2% subscriber discount on carts $39.99+, and a 3% referral discount on carts $30+.

Customer segments are entirely consumer (B2C), segmented by use case: trading card game players (primary), board game enthusiasts (primary), role-playing game players (primary), and bar/social gaming patrons (secondary). Go-to-market is a hybrid of direct-to-consumer retail (in-store + e-commerce) and event-driven community programming, with weekly tournaments, bar events, and board game nights promoted through Discord, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Google Ads, Google Merchant Center, and a public Google Calendar. The company's stated differentiators are the worker-cooperative ownership model, the 10% off MSRP default pricing, and the retail-plus-bar combination in Syracuse.
