TableTop Day is here
Finally after a week of on-off preparation the day is here – International TableTop Day where people come by to share in and experience great games.
I had a range of great games from my collection, including:
- Carcassonne – a tile-laying game set in Southern France, with knights, thieves, monks, and farmers
- Love Letter – where you are competing with others for the affection of the princess
- Ticket to Ride: Europe – where you compete to complete routes between different ticket destinations
- Jamaica – a gorgeous pirate boat race with a challenging mechanic for choosing your actions
- Inkognito – you are spies in Venice, and must find your partner cluedo-style and complete a secret mission
- The Resistance – where you have spies in your team and must ferret them out using deduction to succeed
- Munchkin – a satirical card game where you fight monsters, take their treasure, and backstab other players
- Firefly – a thematic game for all Firefly fans, where you run jobs and compete to complete different story goals
