Table Top Episode I: Small World!
April 2, 2012 by brennon
It has finally happened! Table Top, presented by Wil Wheaton, the Demi-God of Geek and Nerd kind has hit the net and the first game they are playing is...Small World!
Small World allows you to take command of a race trying to make its mark on a new continent. Through bloodshed and underhanded tricks you must come out on top in an all out stomp-a-thon.
It's fantastic to see the game getting some coverage as its a true gem. It also has a number of expansions allowing you to take on more races and more powers.
So if you're already a fan, watch and enjoy above. If you're new, see what you think of the game and then go pick it up!
Nice game and good introduction !
There really are game-changing moments.
I really love that game… I’ve got all the extensions, and I even shook hands with the creator…
By the way, it’s a french game 😀

Couldn’t agree more, a real gem of a game. As I mentioned, its fantastic that its getting all this exposure and you have to hope they bring more out as time goes by. On top of that I want them to bring their App version of the game into a browser based form too – at least as a demo – so I can play it lol.
I love playing as the Dwarves since all my mates seem to think they are the worst race. I aim to prove them wrong one of these days lol.

wrong! Philippe Keyaerts, the author of the game is actually Belgian 😛
Ah, my mistake… He’s francophone, though, and Days of Wonder is a French company…
I am pretty happy now . ^^
Well, Tabletop seems to have achieved what it set out to do. 30 minutes ago I had never heard of the game, and now I have a copy for the iPad and will be looking to get a copy of the boxed game too. Good stuff!
What a great way to give you an understanding off a game. Fun AND with all the game mechanics covered. Now where is my iTunes password…
Downloading now…
Go Day[J] .. yaaaaaaay
By the way, there’s a new expansion soon to be available (june/july) that will allow Smallworld and Smallworld Underground players to create their own maps…
There will also be scenarios !

That was a lot of fun to watch. Smallworld looks a great game, I’d heard of it, but don’t get much opportunity to play new boardgames – the programme does an excellent job at giving you a crash-course in the key game rules.
Yes fellow gamers it is true, girls do play nerd games. Now if can only smuggle Felicia Day onto the BoW set for Turn 8…
That does look like a fun game.
Something quick to do in the evening.
On a side note; I hope they do the new risk sometime in the future.
would be nice to have a Risk with little more strategic depth and options ^^
I seen this on the shelves in the past and never gave it much thought. Now that I seen it in action, it looks like loads of fun. Now I only need to get my friends willing to look at this video and wish to play it as well.
Over all this was great to watch!
That was awesome. The game looks great too.
