Man, I wish my mates were into table top games. I'd love to get everyone together for a weekend of stuff like this and just nerd out. Great show :)

[@samanthaaiello]

I live vicariously through this show because I'm in the same boat. I love table top games, but too few of my family/friends are into them. :)

[@seaniam81]

Same

[@ThaMinecraftNetwork]

I absolutely want to start hosting a show like tabletop, except with either fast paced or extremely long games for those who want to nerd out or quickly play ~3+ games in 40 minutes. Sadly not very popular and what friends I have don't like board games.+ I still have to plan it out and GET the board games ;(

[@samanthaaiello]

ThaMinecraftNetwork, you can totally do it! Maybe post on your facebook, ask friends to share, and I'm sure you'll get somewhere. I think that is an extremely fun idea. I'm in the same boat as you. I love this stuff, but I really don't A) know enough people at all to play the games I want to play and B) those people don't game anyway. Hahah Good luck though! :)

[@mikoditeyvette8929]

You can find groups on Meetups or Craiglist that have pick up sesssions. If there is a gaming supply store where you live many of those have game nights. Your welcome.

[@Obstreperous_Octopus]

16:00 "You have too many cards already in your hand." A wizard never has too many cards, Cara Santa Maria. Nor does he have too few. He has precisely the number of cards he means to have.

I would like to thank you Wil for igniting my new found love for table top games, I may have spent more money then I should on games but in my opinion more then worth it, I love to share them with my friends and see them as happy as your show and these games made me!

[@leebowen67]

22:49 best ending ever to a game on tabletop...the expression on will's face is hysterical

[@petersenior5432]

So from my understanding... Wizards: Extra actions Robots: Extra minions Pirates: Move to another base Aliens: Return to hand Zombies: Return from discard Ninjas: Killing lots of things

[@popsicleman8816]

Ninjas: destroy minions and sneak onto bases at last second Tricksters: make other players discard, and also make bases inhospitable for others zombies: graveyard minions are returned or played again

[@hungryhungryhobo196]

And Dinosaurs just have massive minion point value and buff cards.

[@gorkskoal9315]

@@popsicleman8816 [time travelling from the future] Aliens are good at being dicks, by moving things around.

I was introduced to this game on Tabletop Day 2015. Bought the game and all of the available expansions later in the year, and have already pre-ordered the It's Your Fault set that comes out in March. It has become my favorite game. Favorite faction: Geeks, with Wil being my favorite minion.

[@IceMetalPunk]

Watching this game makes me realize that Wil must play blue when he's playing Magic. I mean, wizards, card draw, extra turns/plays? He's totally a blue mage. And as a black mage, I ask him to kindly join Dimir...or die.

[@eLdritchZ]

I posted this long before I knew how much Wil hates blue mages XD

[@ALK82]

The thing that's funny about what you said is that Wil's special Smash-Up card that the game creators made is basically a counterspell.

[@SerDerpish]

+IceMetalPunk As a white mage, I would like to inform you that at the time of the original posting, Mr. Wheaton had already signed a binding contract with the Azorius guild. As such, any and all attempts at bribery, extortion, and/or death threats to persuade him to change faction must be submitted in writing as per executive order 99806-3A-96 section 231 of the Ravnica Guild Licence Agreement.

[@sadrequiem]

First time I watch this and I loved it! The game looks quite fun.

[@ToThePointGames]

Super fun!

[@eyalcohen175]

probably my favorite game of all time

[@PMMagro]

Arquimedes Quintero It is funny, you should try it with MANY factions though. +1 faction = many possbile new combinations and less risk off facing or playing excatly the same agian. +10 factions and this is insane.

[@z_movie_dan]

So we have team Techno-Wizard, Silent but Deadly, the Space Marauders, and Traptors

[@Acgf1569874]

Well, I discovered the channel only recently and I want to tank you for this awesome youtube series you're doing. It's far away my favorite now and a hope to see more of those really soon. Thank you for helping to expand the boardgame community.

[@fastpace101]

That expansion "It's Your Fault!" includes five new factions. Dragons, Sharks, Mythic Greeks, Superheroes and Tornadoes.

Will, I want you to know that this episode brought me and my friend group back into tabletop games. Smash up is a classic play for us on our bi-weekly gamenight. Sincerily thank you for reminding us why board games our fun. Play more games!

[@hahahaman22]

That was possibly my favorite episode thus far. Great game FANTASTIC guests, and of course awesome production value as always. I hope you guys keep up the series!

[@BeatlesRoxx13579]

Shouldn't they have 5 bases? In the rules it says you start with bases equal to the number of players +1.

[@saxmason]

+catherine-is-a-lemon I dont play with that rule either. Too many bases at once in my opinion

[@mauriceoksman8594]

CollegeMike Mason yeah this was bothering me too, but i actually think it's a good tweak maxing out at 4 bases. So 3 bases with 2players and 4 bases for 3-4 players. Also saves on table space. Also quickens game time and immediate player interaction. I can't really see the downside to this, but please reply if you can give me a reason (particularly a balancing issue) that makes this a bad idea.

[@AX5Terminator]

Mo O I guess it will weaken Pirates to have 1 less base to move to and potentially breaking a base themselves?

[@Danbearpig]

Benjamin Simon That deck did not exist when this was filmed. That was added later as a nod to this very show. It is the best deck, though... and my brothers never let me play it any more, hahaha. I did get to play Felicia Day on The Con, though!

[@theIdes3]

TableTop is my favorite KZbin show, keep up the awesomeness! Please bring back the window showing the link to the next/up coming episode, Thanks.

[@DarkTider]

My biggest gripe with this game is how certain combinations just get silly if played with experienced players. As a Robot-wizard deck, I could go through almost the entire deck in a single turn, sometimes reaching uptowards 20 minutes before my turn ended as i had experience with decks like it from Magic: the gathering. Another was zombie-ninjas which synergized well, but the third player had alien-tricksters, which just didn't quite vibe and didnt really allow him to make power plays like we could, while the pirate dinos kinda just sat there :S

[@skyblazeeterno]

sshhh - keep that quiet as we know modern games are flawless and have been thoroughly play tested to avoid overpowering

[@imchez4813]

You can easily avoid this using a draft system while picking decks.

[@GreysonMacAllister]

5:49, tricksters are fey, that's magic.

[@SabertoothSeal]

Robomages are still better than Dinotricksters.

You are both wrong! Vampire Kittens is the way to go!

[@flameace50]

[@ChevaliersEmeraude]

Fredrick Everson I don't consider Robomages that good personnally, to be honest. Yes, mages are all about ''wishing for wishes'', it's true. But there are almost no ''wishes'' in the Robot deck, they are all minions and no spell. It's like, yeah, the mages let me play a bunch of spells, but I have no spells in my hand because Robots are all minions. My personnal favorite would be Steampunk Tricksters! You put those two together, then all your bases are belong to us! Like, literally, that's what those two together do! :p

[@isaacnewton2392]

ChevaliersEmeraude That is a genie, not a mage.

[@teresaharris9134]

awesome work on the Sheldon shirt and having the spot on the couch saved....Nice

[@animeaddiction00]

I just got the game during the weekend. I have yet to play-test it, but it sounds fun and this video that a friend linked me to makes me feel even better about the purchase. Can't wait to give it a try!

[@Jordanime]

Bought this one and I'm a little disappointed. It's hard to keep track of each base's break point, especially with robots. Make sure your players are gentle with the cards, they're rather thin.

[@mrtodd1010]

I went ahead and made cards like the ones they used in the show. Helps a trillion time more. They're basic but I could zip file them to ya if you like?

[@russelldown7702]

I use D20s (plus D6s for the >20 bases) to keep track of the score on bases, it works quite well. :)

[@MsJamil001]

JYug h

[@mireah]

we use the ultra pro standard gaming card sleeves to protect the cards.

[@Lordofcookiejars]

My local tabletop bar put protective card sheets on all the cards, and that has made them very durable so far. You will probably wanna look into doing that.

[@GamerX13X]

Once again Wil Wheaton has victory taken from him.

[@ispear6337]

Rook013 pretty sure he shouldve actually won considering the "winner" played 2 cards which both individually wouldve caused the central brain to break giving wil the win (11 vs 8 on both of them as they both gave +4) making it impossible to play both cards.

[@justincanu9153]

Ispear6 Didn't really think of that, I guess they just chose to rule that resolve only comes into play at the end of the players turn.

[@Qualjyn]

Ispear6 Bases don't break until after the player is done playing cards (right before drawing 2 cards) www.alderac.com/smashup/files/2012/06/AEG-SU-Rulebook.pdf

P.S. Great episode, as there really is not many Smash Up video tutorials out there. I would love to see more around some of the complicated card explanations!

[@HazelKalizari2]

Love the shirt Wil. You have an awesome geek wardrobe. I need to geek mine up some more.

[@zholtar]

Probably someone realized before but... when the last minion was played it was scoring the base instantly, so the +4 strenght action could not be played, and then, Will would had more points in that base and won. I'm right?

[@Negeta]

Bases actually don't score until the end of the player's turn, right before they draw cards. You get to take your action and/or minion play plus any extra actions you might have gained, and then check to see if any bases have reached their break points.

[@zholtar]

Nick Chapman Didn't know that, thanks for the info :)

[@illumina91]

also i notice that First Mate should have move to an other base when one of the based score , and that redhead chick didnt do it :(

[@CautiousJonny]

17:00 Surprised that this game didn't get sued by Nintendo.

[@warfist]

Zoh mah gurr! That ending was so painful! I wanted to believe Wil could win, but it totally doesn't help that he called upon his demise at ~4:49. If only there was a way to test for an episode (or two) if there is a curse put on the soul who hosts Tabletop, or if it is simply Wil's fate to be cut down like Wheat(on) by the sickle-wielding hand of his own show. (I don't know about you, but that last bit sounded a bit forced. *nods*)

[@PsychotherapistDH]

I know this was 9 years ago but wouldn't Cara putting a minion on the base automatically destroy the base, or does she in fact have time to play her action?

[@StarkMaximum]

A base is not scored until your turn is over. If you play a minion that fills a base to its breaking point, you can still play an action before the scoring phase begins.

[@PsychotherapistDH]

@@StarkMaximum Thank you very much.

[@AhJong0]

Good work, best Tabletop for a while. All three guests were great - would love to see Rich Sommer back again. It would be great to do a series of 3 episodes or along the lines where the guests (good guests mind you....) come back over consecutive games. This would simulate the awesomeness of having call backs and rivalries that exist in a real game group. I understand that the schedule of some guests would not allow this, but there must be some who would relish the chance.

[@EmperorSmith]

What I'd love to see played on Tabletop: Citadels. The secret role selection, the double guessing... it's also pretty fast. Would be a perfect game for this show.

PDF/PrintOut of those base cards? Or just the background so I can set my base cards on it? I am really interesting, googling right now!

Watching these episodes is so much fun, even more so with friends. Sadly we have to do it with KZbin since our DVD's don't play all the episodes properly for some reason (no, we didn't bust them somehow, they came to us with some episodes only being partially downloaded I think...for both seasons....).
