TableTop Day 2014 - Success


For more than 12 hours on Saturday, April 5, my group of gaming friends gathered in an undisclosed location and did pretty much what you'd expect we would do -- if you read my previous post about the approach of International TableTop Day.

Dominion, more Dominion, and a little more Dominion were the first activities. 

We're kinda hooked on that game.  And, after more than a year of owning it, Eric finally brought out the Seaside expansion.  We loved it!  We might not have stopped playing it if "Hold 'Em" time had not arrived.

We know that we probably interpreted "TableTop" a bit more loosely than many people, but we have a friend who doesn't play traditional "table top" strategy games, but who really likes Texas Hold 'Em.  We haven't had a chance to play that game for a while, so we included a game in our event.  It was fun, and (notable because it was the first time) I won. 

After dinner, we played Carcassonne.  This was the first time playing it for most of the players, and only the third or fourth time for the rest of us, so the game went slowly, but I think we all enjoyed it.  I certainly did.

We were amazed at how fast time seemed to fly while we were having our fun.  We blew right through lunchtime without noticing it.  (OK, the table full of snacks helped that, too.)  We didn't have nearly enough time to try all the game people brought.  We agreed we need to do this again next year.  And sooner than that, if possible!

Thanks, Eric, for finding the undisclosed location.  It worked great.  Thanks also to all the rest of the Gaming Dudes who worked their schedules to play.  I had a blast!
