"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.
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 :)
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. :)
Same
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 ;(
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! :)
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.
22:49 best ending ever to a game on tabletop...the expression on will's face is hysterical
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!
Trickster Dinosaurs, eh? - Clever girl ;)
Cute. I see what ya done, there.
Rich plays a master mathematician in Elementary. The illusion is broken
Cara is awesome. I've listened to some interviews with her and she's very intelligent, funny and kind. Awesome to see more stuff with her.
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
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
And Dinosaurs just have massive minion point value and buff cards.
@@popsicleman8816 [time travelling from the future] Aliens are good at being dicks, by moving things around. Zombies are Teh win for, just constantly coming, and coming(so basically being zombies) Zombies pair well with a lot of things. especially before the game (IMO) gets over the top with power tokens and what not.
@@hungryhungryhobo196 right, but don't draw many cards at once. Which is why them and wizzards, or them and plants might work ok . lol ok so plant dino's is weird to think about after I typed that out.
"You just grab two decks, and put them together" - I'm not proud to admit it, but I giggled at that.
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.
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!
Any time that I swoop in to grab something, from this day forward I shall accompany said swoop with a "SHINOBI!" To be declared at a level of volume or urgency to be determined by the situation.
First time I watch this and I loved it!
The game looks quite fun.
Super fun!
probably my favorite game of all time
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.
So we have team Techno-Wizard, Silent but Deadly, the Space Marauders, and Traptors
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!
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.
Love how Rich Sommer plays a brilliant Mathematician in Elementary and then says he is bad at Math in real life. Some good acting.
Just picked this game up for $13.30 on Amazon.
+Holden Kim YAY!
+Holden Kim Same here! I picked up the Awesome level 9000 expansion too. It has VP tokens.
+Holden Kim Have them all. Well worth it! Munchkin is great fun to implement with the other expansions.
That expansion "It's Your Fault!" includes five new factions. Dragons, Sharks, Mythic Greeks, Superheroes and Tornadoes.
+Rah Sollest - Yep! Just bought it! And while the most obvious thing is to meld sharks and tornadoes I'm aiming to do werewolves and tornadoes. :)
I love this whole series, watching and learning about all the cool Table Top games that I can introduce my son to!
I just found this channel. And I am so glad you guys have played my favorite board/card game of all time!
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.
(1) (blue) (blue) - Instant - Make target opponent sad
C:
I posted this long before I knew how much Wil hates blue mages XD
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.
+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. Our lawyers eagerly await your response 😇
Cara Santa Maria is pretty much the coolest.
Agreed
I've never been much of a table top game enthusiast (though I enjoy playing from time to time), yet this series makes me want to stack up a whole arsenal of table top games.
The best way to advertise a decent product is to actually show how good it is I suppose.
Makes me really happy when they are playing Minions. I was a minion at Emeral City Comic Con and got to help on Wil's line while Jenn was his right hand for the weekend. New Fave TableTop ever.
Shouldn't they have 5 bases? In the rules it says you start with bases equal to the number of players +1.
+catherine-is-a-lemon I dont play with that rule either. Too many bases at once in my opinion
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.
Mo O I guess it will weaken Pirates to have 1 less base to move to and potentially breaking a base themselves?
Lemon Gaming/Music r u kidding me
nerd
I've never seen Cara before, but she's adorable and hey, girl power! :D
Loving the effects this season. Well done.
One of my fav episodes. Loved it!
I wish this series would have continued beyond season 4. There's so many more games I want to see played!
Yeahhhh blame Legendary for that. They ruined it for Wil which is why s4 took so long to make. It's why the premiere was on a separate streaming service that is now gone.
@@Thedarkside02 Geek, smash gaming, and a lot of other youtube accounts were part of that giant network, who's name I'm drawing a blank on atm.
I can't believe no one used geeks. It literally has Will Wheaton in it!
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!
I have been re-watching Tabletop almost everyday.
In case folks here haven't heard, Smash Up has a third expansion coming featuring Time Travelers, Cyborg Apes, Shapeshifters and Superspies. It's called Science Fiction Double Feature and it is due out in April. :)
Hey Geek & sundry, can you upload the templates for the special scoring cards? They look really useful
I second this request! This would have made the games SO much easier to play on a big table.
I know it’s been years but you can download them from Board Game Geek
@@molamola7093 4 years waiting and someone finally came through! Thanks!
@@XDJ0003 6 years later rewatching this, see this comment and am happy for you that you got what you wanted !
Robomages are still better than Dinotricksters.
Fredrick Everson I'm all for Steampunk Bears, though Robot Aliens are also quite fun.
You are both wrong! Vampire Kittens is the way to go!
midivilplanet DININJAS
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
ChevaliersEmeraude That is a genie, not a mage.
Definitely one of the better Tabletops I've watched :)
Very awesome looking game, definitely going to search for it and put that on my purchase list for sometime in the near future.
5:49, tricksters are fey, that's magic.
The cast in this game was pretty fantastic. Wil needs to reinvite everyone XD
Favorite Table Top episode by far, second place going to King of Tokyo
I love love love table top! I also love the people you get!
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.
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?
I use D20s (plus D6s for the >20 bases) to keep track of the score on bases, it works quite well. :)
JYug h
we use the ultra pro standard gaming card sleeves to protect the cards.
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.
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
sshhh - keep that quiet as we know modern games are flawless and have been thoroughly play tested to avoid overpowering
You can easily avoid this using a draft system while picking decks.
awesome work on the Sheldon shirt and having the spot on the couch saved....Nice
"Somehow". You'd be surprised how far being entertaining/humorous can go with the ladies.
Once again Wil Wheaton has victory taken from him.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
Nick Chapman Didn't know that, thanks for the info :)
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 :(
I would just like to say (as a new viewer) this video series makes me one of the happiest nerds in the world. I have never fit in anywhere except with my cousins (who are nerds as well). But at school, I never really had anyone to relate to. Then I found this video series and realized, through the view count, that their are so many people that I may meet someday that are very similar to me. That makes me happy.
You know you're a good nerd when you can cite your humorous references. Keep up the good work.
Would the internet implode if any decided to put pirates and ninjas together in the same team?
No because that is my go to smash up
ah good - possibly the best combination
Khaotic Phoenix It worked out rather well. Would have been better maybe if it wasn't my first time playing... ever, But i got second with them
Darn beginners luck - I have yet to play smash up
Play Castle Crashers and tell me what you think of the ninja pirates ;)
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?
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.
@@StarkMaximum Thank you very much.
One of the best Tabletops... Cara Santa Maria is a smart cutie. Glad to see her win
Really would love to see an extended version of this episode simply because of Wil's turn.
Cara: "I'm a dinosaur nerd."
Me, another dinosaur nerd: "We shall see."
Cara: *Describes her tattoo with full scientific name, which specimen it is, and refers to it as a transitional fossil.*
Me, now a *happy* dinosaur nerd: "Well, that confirms it. Yay! She's a dino nerd!"
I thought she said huge nerd, into donosaurs. I thought: ok so what you're saying is: Geek.
17:00 Surprised that this game didn't get sued by Nintendo.
My god, she played that last move so well. So cool, no jumping about like I would have been doing, and then BANG!! I must remember if ever I get the chance to play poker with this girl, get up and run away!
Love the shirt Wil. You have an awesome geek wardrobe. I need to geek mine up some more.
It's so strange listening to someone with no perceivable accent (at least to me since it's my accent) speaking among other clearly American ones.
That's an Australian accent.
Inverted Yes I know. I mentioned that it's my accent; that's why I can't hear it as clearly as the yanks.
Played this game once. I was Zombies and Aliens. Got my ass handed to me.
Some archetypes just don't mesh very well together.
My first game was Zombies and Aliens. I dominated hard.
I made the mistake of using Wizards and Ghosts. Thematically I was stoked, but in game play the two factions just kept working against each other non stop.
princealarming85 that is the worst combo possible, if you want a good combo with ghosts robots is probably the best you could do....
you probably weren't getting the right cards to show up.... because that is an amazing combo
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.
Great show! I love this show and this UA-cam Channel.
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*)
Dinosaur tricksters? ....clever girl....
Can't wait for the extended version of this for the chunks of play cut out for time.
An episode of tabletop with Chance Morris (Sodapoppin) would make my life complete.
Cara's dinosaur knowledge was so damn sexy ... also her dino goofs were adorkable, she deserved to win in my books, but gg for others, was a fun game :)
23:39 "your in my spot" OK Sheldon...
Not to mentions he's played himself on several big bang episodes
These are still great.
LMAO! Reserved for Wil Wheaton!!! Awesome
that up smash that aint falco
this was before all the fun expansiins, huh?
It's also before you learned how to spell.
Ohhhhhhh
Don't be a smartass
also this was six months ago what am I doing
YEAH DEM EXPANSIINS
jesus died for our expansiins
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!
lmao Wil's face at 23:24 is priceless!
Cara is so beutiful!
Anyone else find Rich cute? Just me? Oh...
Nah, as a straight male, I'm comfortable in saying that he seems like a real catch.
Rich: plays an insecure guy with glasses on Mad Men
Wil: okay, anything you do with your glasses, I'm going to say it reminds me of Mad Men and watch you snowball into a series of nervous tics!
That was so much fun watching! =D
Jen's card was "Disintegrator", which moves a minion to the bottom of the deck instead of "destroyed". As written, the Nukebot was not destroyed, so the other minions were safe. I've used that tactic myself, as it's a really powerful counter to ultra-strong minions.
Wil's spot on the loser's couch is the same as Sheldon's spot on the couch in the Big Bang Theory.
...interesting...
I noticed that too
TheRainSnake and a bazinga t-shirt
I'm glad I'm not that big of a nerd and only i noticed that. also, where can i get the bazinga shirt? tell me your secrets wil
Please bring Cara Santa Maria back to TableTop.
First video I've ever watched here, subbed right away. True geek!
There's nothing more entertaining to watch than someone getting the upper hand on the last move. Except when it happens to you.
holy crap, bazinga t-shirt!!!
he is wearing a bazinga shirt when he is sheldon coopers most hated enemy
Exceeeeeept they're friends now...
And he usually sat in Sheldon's "spot" on the loser's couch until he got the host's chair put in the loser's lounge.
CARA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Came just to watch TableTop and got a great surprise!! I have the biggest nerd girl crush on Cara. I tweeted the other day she was my crush and she replied. Made my day!! Nerdgasm!
A "Wil" never has too many cards, a "Wil" always has the exact number of necessary cards!
Why does Wil never sit by a dude?!
Bro code.
Have my babies Cara
Dtrollmancan im not sure that's how adoption works
Mad Men and Star Trek! My two favorite things I watched on Netflix last year.
One of the best deck building games I played
I swear, I've had Andrew Huang's song "ZOMBIE NINJAS" playing nonstop in my head this ENTIRE GAME..
Watchings Will's face drop was the most satisfying this ever.
Wil's streak is amazing.
Just got this game for my 30th and my default way to learn a new game is to watch Will loose to beautiful alternatives. Worked a charm and my zombie robots kicked ass.
Rich Bradley One of my friends picked this up and gave it to my son and I to figure out for her. 😄 Tabletop anyone?
Awesome episode. I must have this game. And the expansion. And more Cara. And an extended version of this episode xD
WE NEED THE FULL VERSION!!!
Good news everybody! Smash up is now a videogame. Currently in early access in steam!
Cara's laugh at the end is awesome!
I love trickster ninjas. They're not heavy in terms of minions but the actions more than make up for it
Robots vs Ninjas: Robots, their extra sensory capabilities combined with precision and skill counters the shock and scare-based tactics and their infamous hiding techniques
The boardgame cafe near my school has Smash Up and the Monster Smash expansion pack. I always play Werewolf Pirates and I DOMINATED. Ever since my friend taught me how to play properly, I changed my strategy into scoring as many points as I can with as little effort as possible.
This game is WAAAY too fun
I have this game and I LOVE it.
