I hope you all had a fantastic time celebrating International Tabletop Day! It is pretty good that we have a day dedicated to the fun of games and spreading the love of tabletop games, and hopefully it has attracted more people over to the crusade of tabletop gaming.
This year I was unable to go to any events celebrating tabletop games, so we crafted our own marathon of games at home! It was quite a feat; sixteen different games, with some meaty games on the list too and a few that I had never played before. Here is the list of tabletop abundance:
1. Boggle
2. Blood Bowl Team Manager
3. Shogun
4. Tokaido
5. Letters To Santa
6. Mit 3 Dabei
7. Brawl
8. Lost Cities
9. Eight Minute Empire
10. 7 Wonders Duel
11. Raptor
12. Bling Bling Gemstone
13. Zombie Dice
14. Pairs
15. Ticket To Ride: The Emerald City
16, Noir
Most of the games played were old favourites or ones that had not been played in a while, but Blood Bowl Team Manager and Shogun were new games to me. They had been on my playlist for a while and International Tabletop Day seemed like the perfect occasion to give them a go. I thoroughly enjoyed both of these games, they looked daunting at first but the mechanics were fairly easy to grasp and, like most games, a deeper understanding of the strategy comes through with longer plays. Shogun really did remind me of a lengthier and more strategic Eight Minute Empire, which is one of my favourite games, so that went down very well. I do enjoy a bit of area control and resource management. Blood Bowl Team Manager is a great hand management and dice rolling game with a fun theme, I look forward to playing this a lot more and writing about it in the future.
Officially, in the United Kingdom, International Tabletop Day is over. But in my home, it will never be over - bring on more games!
Have a great day
