International TableTop Day

March 31, 2014

Saturday, April 5, is International TableTop Day!


Yeah, it’s a project started by the same team that brought us TableTop (If you haven’t watched it, what are you waiting for? Oh, you came here to listen to us? Well, then listen to us, then click the hell on over), as there’s nothing that warms our hearts quite like sitting around a table with others, playing weird cards, rolling oddly-shaped dice, and immersing ourselves in worlds from epic to horrible.


So we’re going to talk about all the games, from ones that need boards and elaborate setups to ones that need only a pencil, the aforementioned dice, and a little imagination. Gay orgy domes and doorknobs not included (Thank the FSM for that).


 


AND NOW, THE NEWS:

A little redundant, of course, but the news this week is International TableTop Day. Unless you want to count the news about the 3×2 family growing by one. That also happened this weekend, and will be the sleep-deprived topic of our next episode.


 


TODAY’S TOPIC: The Games We Play
  1. 1. We tackle the growing stack of the Illustrious One’s board game collection, and talk about them. There are too many to try linking them all, so here’s a list of what’s handy, in the order they’re currently stacked:

Zombie Dice, Zombie Fluxx, Monty Python Fluxx, Muchkin, The Rivals for Catan, Pandemic, Catan Junior, Unspeakable Words, SmashUp, Tsuro, Elder Sign, Takenoko, Castle Panic,


  1. *deep breath* and

Ticket to Ride


  1. . We talk about most of these, and most of these can be found played on

TableTop


  1. . Check ‘em….

 


  1. 2. We dive into the PseudoKiwi’s true passion, the roleplaying games. Since he’s not handy at this exact second to enumerate a list (and this is being written at the very last second and great expense, as the producers responsible for sacking the people that have just been sacked have been sacked), you’ll have to listen to find out some of the possibilities. Moose and llamas also not included….

 


  1. 3. We break out the aforementioned

Zombie Dice


  1. and start rolling a game, as we talk about some memorable gaming experiences and get interrupted by the cutest gamer ever….
