Anyone into tabletop gaming?

I've never been a fan of tabletop gaming - board games, card games etc - that is, until I found TableTop on Geek & Sundry

This ~30 minute web show, hosted by Wil Wheaton (Star Trek, The Big Bang Theory), shows Wil briefly explaining the game, and 3 friends join him to play it.

These games aren't your usual Monopoly or Scrabble, and you are typically involved until the very last turn of the game - some are even co-operative, where it's all players pitted against the game to try to win.

Because of this show... I've now spent a fair amount on a few games... my collection now contains:

Ticket To Ride
Munchkin
Settlers of Catan
Fluxx

With probably quite a few more to be added!

This weekend (Saturday 30th March) is "International TableTop Day" - the aim to get people together across the world playing games!

I'm having people round to mine from 8pm on Friday until we drop!

If anyone wants to join us over the weekend feel free, just get in touch if you're anywhere near Mansfield!!

Munchkin

I have got Vanzep, Newkid, 3rd Gen Steve, and Indigolemon into this. It's great for drokking your friends over

I have the traditional Munchklin game and all 8 expansion packs for that version.

Yeah Munchkin is awesome

Bonus that the TableTop episode with Munchkin also has Felicia Day , Sandeep Parikh AND Steve Jackson himself!!

Last time we played it, a couple of months ago, we had a 6 hour marathon.

How the **** did you manage 6 hours!?

Multiple games, or one REALLY long one?

Three games

Become a Gnome Wizard and you are just about unstoppable, and NEVER ask an Elf for help
