Table Top fun for the Geek in you

 As a late participant in Table Top games for geeks like Magic: The Gathering, Munchkin or Descent I am fascinated how they are played. Tabletop games according to Wikipedia  is a general term used to refer to board games, card games, dice games, miniatures war games, tile-based games and other games that are normally played on a table or other flat surface.

The term is used to distinguish these types of games from sports and video games, which today enjoy more popularity than most tabletop games. The term is also used to distinguish role-playing games from role-playing video games and LARPs, although role-playing games may not necessarily require a wide playing surface.

Thank goodness for Geek & Sundry. Geek & Sundry is a commercial YouTube Channel. It was launched on April 2, 2012 by actress Felicia Day, with Kim Evey and Sheri Bryant as part of YouTube's 100 million dollar original channel initiative. In June 2012, Forbes Magazine suggested that "if successful, it could help blaze a trail for the future of network television." The channel was originally based around three unscripted programs produced by Day, The Flog (hosted by Day), Sword & Laser (hosted by Veronica Belmont and Tom Merritt) and Tabletop (hosted by actor Wil Wheaton).

Table Top is a  weekly board gaming show hosted by Star Trek: TNG Wil Wheaton aka Wesley Crusher.   Wil in every episode,  briefly explains the game to us the audience  and then he and his guests, usually web or TV personalities, celebrities,  and super geek/nerds play the game. During the game you get side bar like insights from the participants.  The show itself has been described  as a fast paced “Celebrity Poker” for board games and we get to join them as they play.  I love to watch the show when I have time and so I am sharing one of my favorite episodes... Resistance.  It premiered on April 18th with Felicia Day, Amy Okuda, Ashley Clements, Allison Scagliotti.  Enjoy...Thanks Wil and Felicia
