Star Fluxx: Alex Albrecht, Chloe Dykstra, and Jordan Mechner Join Wil on TableTop, episode 16

[@maxcho354]

TableTop was the best thing that ever happened to Geek and Sundry. I hope they decide to bring it back one day

[@Aquila009]

I’m afraid geek and sundry is pretty much burried, ever since critical role left.

[@ts25679]

I like the fact that Will still hasn't won a game through individual skill, and that all the guests just seem to have so much fun no matter what happens.

[@SkilesHasFun]

Holy shit, a Calvinball reference? I think I've officially come full-circle with my nerdiness. Thank you so much, Wil. My life is complete.

[@TheRealLittleBIGhead]

That comment is perfect with that picture.

[@ellap6828]

I immediately thought of Calvinball when I heard the rules ^^

[@davidkuhn2219]

Come on, man. I see you everywhere.

[@grimthane]

Ninja Brian He sees you, too. You're not a very good ninja.

[@davidkuhn2219]

grimthane:/

[@dillonjones5706]

“Being able to read will be a big advantage in this game” made me laugh so hard I left a LIKE

[@mercyfire]

Love this show! My husband and I had so much fun playing Settlers of Catan we went out and bought Pandemic today, too. Thanks guys and keep it up!

[@freezinfeet]

the game designer was like "meh, i just created prince of perisa"

[@godbelow]

It's a job, just like anyone else.

[@k3nny111]

***** No, its not.

[@saburousami5197]

***** Not when you're Jordan Mechner. Karateka changed my perception of the computer game back in those early days, and Prince of Persia took it up a few notches. Just to be clear, we're talking about the 1989 version of PoP...it was revolutionary.

[@headrockbeats]

freezinfeet They never were my favorite games, but yeah, those two points still make that man is a legend in the history of videogames.

[@THB192]

anybody born in the '00's: it's not the Prince of Persia that you're thinking of.

[@TheBrickly]

This show is SO AWESOME that my game store has a section deticated to this show

[@AnimeWolf5193]

Heroic Gaming?

[@tehoken]

Why does it not surprise me that the only way Wil has won so far is when he actually DIDN'T win, he was handed the victory by a bond villain style screw up :p

[@ShadowOfCicero]

I've seen Fluxx games where victory was handed to someone else on purpose just because people were so tired of playing.

[@Cpt50Caliber]

ShadowOfCicero I once played Monty Python Fluxx for about 7 hours straight, great fun but jesus was it long

[@cypher515]

He makes it nearly to the end of the second season with that... okay, also when he plays the traitor in co-op with defector games. His record is almost SPOTLESS like that. But then he knocks off a couple of straight up wins (with a save from Felicia, granted, in one game) towards the end, and he pretty much retires the joke midway through the 3rd season.

[@GamerNerdGirl]

I want an extended version of this one! Seems like it was a LOT of fun - one of my favorites to watch.

[@detrix42]

Well, after watch this episode, I went and bought the game. It arrived yesterday (11-26-12), played it like 3 times. I won the first round, then my wife does what Jorden Mechner did and gave a win to my son, and then my son wins the third round. It was very very fun. Can't wait t to show other family members at family gettogethers. Thanks Wil. Keep it up. Please check out a game called "Robo Rally". You would love it.

[@rockah12]

Yay, a Calvin and Hobbes reference! I still have like three anthology books for Calvin and Hobbes. I wonder if people actively attempt to play calvinball?

[@danielsullivan4763]

i do

[@jackleoarnd2459]

I bought the entire collection a few years ago, its amazing

[@EdwardBerner]

Wouldn't Wil still have won even if Jordan didn't have brain parasites? I mean the Holographic Projection clearly says "you can win with _a_ Keeper someone else has". So Jordan could only have used one but Wil had them both.

[@ravenknightvincent2722]

That's why they said that he's playing it incorrectly

[@kritikalgamer]

@Jorji Costava Or he didn't know.

[@paulgruber3384]

True

[@pwrdbyrce]

Anybody else love the fact that they kept calling the engineer Kaylee?

[@bitter-unicorn]

I will now refer to her as that every time i play star fluxx

[@monkeychickenist]

Please more seasons, love it so much. Introduced me into the true tabletop world.

[@aerosimmy]

I have to thank you profusely for introducing me to this game. I've brought it to work with me and talked a few of the guys into playing it with me. The first game ended and the general response from them was "ugh, I hate this game!... Let's play it again." It would help if the regulars would stop playing Yu-Gi-Oh! and give this game some love...

[@lone6718]

Talk about an awesome episode. Love it!

[@vibingwiththewind2889]

21:00 The fact that Jordan had brain parasites wasn't the only reason why he lost. Also, the Holographic Projection can only copy ONE keeper at a time.

[@TimmyCrackCorn]

Wil's "James Bond villain speech" comment was hilarious -- and dead on. Jordan SO IS LIKE a James Bond villain. But I'll forgive him for those mistakes ... after all, he did give us Karateka.

[@nateputerbaugh5709]

I essentially stumbled upon Table Top in general by accident, but been having a lot of fun rediscovering my love of games. Introduced my friends to Fluxx (original version), a few weeks ago. Initially got a "This looks stupid" reaction from most of them. Tonight we played 15 games in a row. THANKS WILL!!

[@Kalva9]

TableTop is a fantastic show, and one of my very favorite youtube shows to watch. I re-watch episodes because they're great to watch, and I get to laugh and learn about new board games (something I've gotten heavily into since watching TableTop). My personal collection is up to 11 games, and still counting! So, what I'm saying is: GIVE US SEASON 2, PLEASE!!!

[@DrRandomness]

Wil Wheaton's voice for Wil SuperAwesomeAwesome sounds a lot like a member of the Teen Girl Squad. Also, I was thoroughly amused by Chloe's hyperventilation at the notion of Matt Smith.

[@lostpersona9032]

Everybody likes Matt Smith great doctor... though some would say that David Tennant was a better a doctor.

[@lostpersona9032]

***** I disagree and insulting him and saying that without backing it up with evidence like specific episodes and how he has an oversized head would make for a better argument otherwise it is all opinions.

[@lostpersona9032]

I feel Doctor Who's popularity has grown actually maybe not in Britain but world wide atleast in the U.S. the numbers are rising. Or they were with David Tennant with him gone though I know I've stopped watching that and BBC can be a pain with time zone and watching it vs. Netflix.

[@FinnMcRiangabra]

***** Blah, blah, (Paul Day's opinon), WTF cares about Paul Day's opinion? Put me in the "not me" column.

[@PHANTOMCOWGIRL]

Dr. Randomness idk what that means, but i was suprised will didnt do editing and be both sides of the conversation.

[@joshuacox581]

You should have a very intense game of UNO!

[@joshuacox581]

I never heard of UNO dare before.

[@joshuacox581]

Yeah, I look it up after your I read you comment. It looks fun.

[@leavealoner]

the moment calvin ball was mentioned I laughed my ass off.

[@Tiemhotep]

Really enjoyed the show and got my wife Oz Fluxx for her birthday and we cant stop playing it. This show is AWESOME! You need to do season 2. I cant wait to see more shows!

[@killerirish]

I bought this game because of this show...now when my friends and I hang out, we play this every time. THANK YOU!!!

[@XwickedXtwistX]

Bring back tabletop!! 😭😭

[@hpwebcam45]

Jordan is like a classic James Bond villain, he has a master plan, monologues his plan, and everything backfires!

[@ellap6828]

Loving all the Star Trek references, it's my favorite show!

[@2014moorea]

Ellie Larson They all went over my head because I've never seen a second of it.

[@Shaden0040]

Abby M. how sad to be you. :(

[@2014moorea]

Shaden0040 Eh, it's not really my genre.

[@johnlorimer9632]

Dundee yarr

[@Spawnicus123]

Thanks Wil for introducing me to so many new and exciting board games. I have a hard time picking out new games at the hobby store. These videos help me find new games to play. Thanks!

[@helter0skelter]

Wil, I watched your hangout (Well, actually I got to the part where you said if we want the show to come back we need to leave comments. So I paused the hangout to leave comments. But I'll go back... Yes, Tabletop should get a second season!) The family has enjoyed Fluxx (the Zombie one so far). Great game!

[@DamonFyrian]

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Evil Doctor!" Me: AKA, the Master.

[@HistoryUnwound]

+Damon Fyrian More like AKA, the Valeyard

[@DamonFyrian]

Kaleb Levermore-Rich I'd forgotten about him, but no one ever forgets about the Master.

[@neolithiumproduction]

Worm hole, worm hole, worm hole, I made it out of clay. When I put stuff in it, it always goes away.

[@TOBORtheMighty]

Calvin and Hobbes was definitely still in the papers when Chloe was a kid. Guess she was too busy playing with laser swords.... One of very few acceptable excuses.

[@kennyhan00]

Today I bought fluxx and it came with the tabletop day expansion. I had the most wonderfull sorprise when I saw will, felicia, the looser cauch and the trophy. It was great being that I knew the game because of this great show. Sorry for the bad english. Greetings from Colombia

[@AndreaKendall]

So glad you started Table Top. Our game store shows your episodes and then we play the game you played.

[@immaculateCanine]

wait... WIL WON!!!!? THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN!!! I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THIS WAS POSSIBLE!!!

[@KingOfShadeEmpire]

+Cashes Mattox To be fair, he still needed someone else to hand him the victory

[@rainwhater]

Shoulda called it CLUSTERFLUX :D... :D... No? Okay, I'll go home.

[@TimmyCrackCorn]

I like ... I like. :)

[@WanderingKumquat]

Perfect 10/10 WBA (Would Buy Again)

[@EquinoxBlk]

I need to stop watching these videos... I keep wanting to buy all these awesome games but I don't have anyone to really play them with :-\

[@artydragon520]

Me too, I'm lonely.

[@timlarsson]

+Lily Bartrut Arkham Horror and Elder Sign are two fun games that are possible to play solo! I do that all the time ;) Yay, no friends!

[@zocciver1]

+Equinox Black I actually bought a lot of games because I was watching this show. I realized that the friends I have close to me wasn't in to playing games. But then I asked some who are a bit farther away and they turned out to be huge gamers with gamer friends too, so now we have weekly games. If you buy it, they will come.

[@craigbomberger2210]

+Equinox Black Yeah, same thing with me , it totally sucks doesn't it!

[@Nicoenzz]

+Equinox Black Get Tabletop Simulator and meet new people who shares a passion for board/card games :)

[@KrakizkoloP]

watched this video. wanted the game. found the game. bought the game. had one the most fun 2 hours playing with my family Thanks Will!

[@TheBeardedn00b]

Thank you tabletop, I play this game weekly with my whole family and it is always a riot.

[@MazDance]

8:20 My name is Matt Smith, this was arousing to me...

[@dracompb966]

Lucky bastard

[@Captain_Blue_Beard]

17:52 will refers to the female engineer as Kaylee. This sir has gained my respect

[@anextlomara5981]

Wormhole Wormhole Wormhole, I made inside space, but when I put stuff in it, it always goes away

[@VondeLynn]

Love that I am finding all these new games I probably would have never tried. Thanks!!

[@orioledodger]

Had to buy this game. And so glad I did. It is just so much fun. Keep the shows coming.

[@userasdf]

Before you were born? Chloe is just 4 years younger than me and Calvin and Hobbes was awesome.

[@SubscribingMilotic]

Was? Still is!

[@wyssmaster]

I'm a year younger than she is and grew up reading Calvin and Hobbes. Watterson didn't stop writing them until 1995.

[@bitter-unicorn]

I absolutely positively LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Calvin and Hobbes.

[@jessicadalton4102]

8:20, no doubt Matt Smith, or any sane human being, would love Chloe Dysktra too ;)

[@ultimateninjaboi]

We need Calvin Ball Fluxx

[@toktzgorgan930]

That'd be epic!

[@detrix42]

I just bought the game thanks to this show, thanx Wil Weaton.

[@Noob3rt123]

Awww. I cannot wait for the new episodes! I have never played many Table Top but this definitely brings out the nerd in me.

[@chrisbacuita5055]

I got will wheaton to sign a basic rules card for me!

[@dukeskunk]

I got him to sign my copy of Gloom.

[@ganonk79]

Oh man, this would have been really amazing if Wil had played with other Star Trek / Firefly / Doctor Who / etc. actors. Can you imagine watching Jewel Staite giving a brain parasite to The Engineer?

[@teknifix]

ganonk79 Karen Gillan was on a fairly recent episode.

[@IceMetalPunk]

She's a Smithie? But what about Tennant? He's clearly el mejor doctor.

[@lostpersona9032]

agreed

[@starcrafter13terran]

Cryptic Marksman Smith, the Rocky Dennis of doctors.

[@lostpersona9032]

starcrafter13terran eh maybe

[@Ruminations09]

Tennant was pretty good, but far too over rated.

[@IceMetalPunk]

PokemonTom09 LIES!

[@y4jirobe]

I bought this immediately after watching this. Thank you for giving me something simple to entertain my family with!

[@lucasbowers58]

The fact that Wil Wheaton has now been accepted as the gold standard of what modern needs should be warms my heart so much. Put him back in Star Trek!!

[@SneezyKeegz]

Hahaha Calvin Ball, I forgot about that shit!

[@ExhibitedCow]

Monty Python flux can last for a long time.

[@StevieJSound]

I played this for the first time this week, it lasted almost 90 minutes!

[@MechagirlSachiko]

Wow, that was an epic fail if I have seen one happen!

[@foxybrown1g]

My husband and I are going to buy this game on our next payday just because of this vid! Thanks so much for introducing us to such a fantastically fun game!!!

[@Icemansam44]

Props to Will for running the many incredible games so smoothly

[@billyking5238]

Play zombie fluxx. Oh yeah, there's a zombie fluxx!!!

[@NoonMountain]

Hey! It's Triple H!

[@tbonevideos23]

"But I've got a sledgehammer..."

[@EnergyCuddles]

Wil acts like he's half his age. :P

[@thestarkiller01]

This is one of my favorite games of all time. Every session, whether it's five minutes long or if we go through the entire deck four times, is an amazingly fun experience.

[@JohnnyFedora1]

This is just one of the episodes which made me immediately buy the game in question. Star Fluxx is freaking awesome!

[@Mst3kfan1994]

Chloe doesn't know about Calvin & Hobbes. It's official - Chloe never had a childhood.

[@TJMonk94]

Bill waterson is awesome! (And he grew up right down the road from where I live :) )

[@RainaThrownAway]

Wil Wheaton wins by doing absolutely nothing.

[@bowtiesrcool86]

Has Wheaton ever won on Tabletop without another player handing victory to him like this?

[@Torien0]

+Tim Seals This is the first time he's won in a non-coop game IIRC :p

[@jcchefjoe]

+Tim Seals not once xD

[@GuyWithTheCoolName]

Can someone make a video game themed Fluxx and call it Smash Fluxx?

[@foxybrown1g]

This is my FAVORITE KZbin show ever!!! Will Wheaton is hilarious in it! I hope there will be another season!! :D

[@anthonykevinbatayola1783]

purely funniest episode of TableTop so far, especially Jordan Mechner bloopers. XD grats Wil! you finally got a rare win. >:b

[@thediethrower1803]

They need to play other fluxx games

[@Cpt50Caliber]

Oh Chloe..... -Sigh-

[@delryn256]

She looks like a man....

[@Cpt50Caliber]

Don't knock it 'till you try it

[@Shendue]

I'd be gay if men looked like that.

[@delryn256]

Shendue I'd say you're already there fella

[@Shendue]

delryn256 : I'd say it is you who like sausages if you don't find her attractive. Or maybe you are just trolling. I can never tell if people is trolling or just have bad taste. Anyway, she is a model, case closed.

[@MrMaradok]

I'm only 22, and I know what Calvin Ball is. I win.....until someone changes the rules of coarse.

[@GaretheDen]

Your use of the wrong "course" results in nullifying your knowledge of Calvin Ball. Don't get cocky, kid. ^^

[@MrMaradok]

onespeed Stupid spell check. I hate it when that happens.

[@GaretheDen]

So close to victory, yet so far.

[@zenitramnaes]

onespeed Thank you Captain onespeed, your work has been acknowledged by some of the highest grammar Nazis. Enjoy the promotion Major, you've earned it

[@MrMaradok]

ZenitramNaes Wouldn't the entirety of the title "Grammar Nazis" be capitalized?

[@144couple]

Have heard friends play several versions of Fluxx but had not gotten a chance to play any of them yet. Watching this episode tells me that I would have a lot of fun playing it.

[@martinsperrin3587]

Got this as a Christmas present, it's awesome!

[@MissAnnalise20]

Buying games from this show, please continue TableTop!

[@Jshaw71]

Looks like you guys had a great time playing, there was a Firefly reference! Awesome! you guys made my morning, thanks for the upload...

[@swiftboot]

so many games that i want after watching these episodes! keep up the good work!

[@Bionicjoe]

I've played multiple Fluxx games dozens & dozens of times, but I watched this just because I knew it would be fun.

[@angiect3791]

Just got this for Christmas, kids are loving it and so are we.

[@meganmuir7141]

I literally just purchased this game after watching this video because it looks amazing. I can not wait for to come in so I can play it.

[@ITS4390]

I met Andy Loomis (the creator of Fluxx) a week ago at my local Hobby shop. He signed a special Fluxx Card that is HIM, functions in different ways in every version of the game. He also had a few prototypes of other games and versions of Fluxx he's working on.

[@mangaholik]

I'm so glad you guys played this game!! My boyfriend and I have been playing Fluxx for about 10 years now (remember that lame black and white print box? YUP the original!) and have gotten several people hooked on it as well. It's always a winner when introducing it to newbies just because it's so easy start playing and it's great game for two people.

[@astryea]

Just picked up Pirate Fluxx! Thanks for introducing me to the game! Bring on Season 2!

[@Sizzlik]

I always come back just for the "wormhole, wormhole....i made it out of clay" Thats one of the simple jokes i spit on the table even without a drink.

[@jackkessler1647]

I bought my mother a copy of Oz Fluxx for Christmas based on this play through. She's a fan of all things WoO, and I got to share my love of games with her. Awesome!

[@LoyalTurnip]

Amazing!! Bring on another season

[@mhwilson92]

Very much looking forward to the return on Thursday, and definitely agree with a second Season...especially if they play King of Tokyo (which Wil mentioned they might on his hangout ;) )

[@MattStum]

After watching this I went out and bought four different decks of Fluxx! Played 'em with my family and had a blast.

[@DarkDennis1961]

I love this series and i am bingeing all weekend

[@christaqueen8696]

FIREFLY REFERENCE! Thank you Wil! Made my night

[@LarryDarkMite2]

I just wanted to let you know that after seeing this video, I went to Target (your sponsor) & bought the basic version. It's really fun. I'm going up to my comic store to buy Monty Python Fluxx & Zombie Fluxx this weekend.

[@TheUltimateUndead]

This episode was uploaded in November? Why didn't I see it earlier? It's the best episode of Tabletop for a long, long, very long time. I love this show.

[@andypro]

When I saw Jordan Mechner in the title I was like... Wait! Where did I see this name before? Oh yeah... Prince of Persia!!! No way! This dude is the stuff of legends!

[@vtekrules]

This game looks like a lot of fun - my wife and I have actually bought four new games because of Tabletop (& its partnership with Target) - Settlers of Catan, Pandemic, Ticket to Ride, and Fluxx. Awesome job - keep it up! To help get to a season 2, I have subscribed to Geek & Sundry, watched every episode, liked, commented, and sacrificed a chicken to Tymora, Faerunian goddess of luck and good fortune. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help Tabletop get a Season 2.

[@johnmcginley7987]

Loved it...Played a few of the Fluxx(s) but havn't tried this one...will purchase next time I'm at my game store..Thanks Wil

[@ChibiKumaKab]

Picked up this game after watching this episode and so glad I did.

[@mojake2k7]

Just bought this today and played 6 games already; it's brilliant. Game can turn at any moment, so it's best to play as a laugh with friends with a few beers. Game can get a little overbearing when lots of rules/keepers are out at once.

[@emansell3636]

I believe I should be pleased that I got every reference in this episode of tabletop, like the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, star trek, and Calvin and Hobbes.

[@biotek7x]

Got Fluxx 4.0 over the holidays and played it a LOT with family. Everyone liked it a lot, from my 12 year old nephew up to my 65 year old stepfather. It was simple, usually, but kept us engaged. I was given the japanese version as a joke gift, but most of the cards have english labels... double deck for more mayhem! The other fluxx versions are on my to buy list.
