Finally got around to playing pandemic after I got it for my birthday! We manager to cure all diseases, but, lo, we were defeated by a Player deck that was against us (i.e. we ran out of cards) before we could eradicate all diseases.
Thank you to Geek and Sundry, Tabletop and Wil Wheaton - this game is awesome!!!
Next on out list of games to play is Forbidden Island…so we can get the kids involved too!!
Last game we played before we graduated college and went our separate ways, and it couldn’t have begun in a more hilarious manner. Here’s the order of things:
1. On his first turn, my male friend drew Change Sex.
2. On his second turn, my male-turned-female friend drew the Amazon, scoring him-as-a-her a free treasure.
3. The treasure the Amazon gave him-as-a-chick was the Broad Sword, only usable by females, which he now was.
3.5. There was a Chicken on His/Her Head at some point I guess.
I think this ranks up there with “Divine Intervention winning the game for multiple Clerics at once.”
One game that is getting the Table Top hook in has been Ticket to Ride. One of them also is a person who loves that character from the large multi billion dollar company, so I made a custom map we were playing on. Still needs some work, but was a lot of fun!
FINALLY, Tabletop has permeated my small town - stickers at my FLGS!
A really tense game of #pandemic One turn away from finding the last cure when the 8th outbreak struck. Losing is such fun. If you find you have the sniffles tonight that may be our fault. We’re so very sorry.
This is our youngest daughters first game of D&D .. She loves it. She is playing an elf thief who is chaotic evil. She carries a trained pet rat named roach and let me say she fits that role well! I can’t wholly express what proud parents we are right now!
Hello again Wil Wheaton/TableTop/Geek and Sundry!
I posted a week ago about my family’s newly adopted tabletop night and was overjoyed and very appreciative to see that Wil Wheaton actually reblogged it! Talk about being “good people” as he would say :) So thanks for that. You made us super happy fans!
Anyway, I thought I’d give a little update on how our game nights are progressing. I’m proudly posting my tabletop victory photo this week since my wife got all the glory on the first post. Haha, that’s understandable, isn’t it? We played Bananagrams - a simple, yet highly competitive word game. My wife’s a soon-to-be Harvard grad school graduate who likes nerdy-wordy games like that. I’m a jazz musician. She had the advantage, to say the least, haha. BUT I managed to win 2 out of 3 games by a hair. I was VERY afraid I would never end up on our fridge, but I prevailed on our 2nd week! Next week we’re playing Pandemic with a couple of friends. I promise I won’t post our picture every week, though. Don’t want to pollute this tumblr with our silly photos, haha. Just wanted to boast a little! And as you can see, we’re going all out on our photos. Gotta have incentive to win!
Thanks, again!

Mother’s Day treat! A game of munchkin with boosters, some expansions and epic rules!
We enjoy playing board games in our household, and Tabletop has been a great place to look for new games to play. Recently my 5 year old has gotten interested in joining in. We has a learning disability, and they have been a great way to teach him counting and planning. Here he wins a game of Star Fluxx with the Landing Party!
I introduced my boyfriend to Ticket to Ride and he kicked butt only his second time playing with 121 points!
