Tabletop Episode III: Zombie Dice, Get Bit! & Tsuro
May 7, 2012 by brennon
Tabletop is back and Wil Wheaton has bought not one game, but three to the club this week. Once again the series will give you a bit of interesting information about the games in question then show you exactly how it plays...
First up is the masterfully simple Tsuro. Tsuro allows you to control a beautiful and powerful Asian dragon in a tile placement game laying the path to victory while avoiding other dragons and the edge of the board. Simple but effective fun for light gaming.
Second is the brain-tastic Zombie Dice. This dice roller from Steve Jackson games puts you in the decaying boots of a zombie trying to feast on the brains of the living while avoiding shotgun shells to the face!
Last is the shark infested Get Bit! In this game of bluffing and mind games you must keep your unfortunate robot safe from the jaws of a deep sea terror with a very particular taste for metal.
Some fantastically fun games which could be great fillers for your sessions with friends. Mix these in with some longer games and you have a fantastic evening of gaming ahead of you.
What games do you use as filler during a session?
Have any of these games graced your gaming table, or will they now?
Dang it this series is both awesome and making my wallet lose weight! XD
Talk about luck for Ryan!
YAY Thanks for the heads up. I need cheering up and this series seems to do a very good job of that!

Liking this show =D Saw Zombie Dice in my local store a while back and thought “It’s just dice, how fun can it be?!” but after seeing this, it looks awesome! Think I’ll be picking it up now.
Keep up the good work Wil!
Robot activists are douchebags!
Tsuro looks awesome for a short game, doesn’t look like It can be bought in the uk though 🙁
