RIP Grant, you were one of the reason why I dove into the hobby
I forgot he was on this show. Now I'm sad.
is this a meme? because I see this comment everywhere
@@albiceleste101 Grant Imahara passed away last year. you see this comment everywhere cause Rufiy0 copy paste this comment on every Tabletop video with Grant Imahara in the title. I want to believe he's doing it out of respect but the cynical part of me think he's farming likes...
RIP Grant Imahara. I'm here rewatching all his Tabeltop appearances.
Bring TableTop back PLEASE
Same for me! My friends and I loved the show and allready bought a couple of those games because of Will's enthusiasm and the fun he had with his guests!
Also, it's a lot easier to get a feel whether the game suits you or not when you see it played (instead of getting the whole rulebook getting rammed down your troat).
PLLLEEEAAASSSEE!
YEAH! I’m watching this in 2020
I've been asking too. I think Will, Felicia and the others got tired and moved on. A shame. Though when Will started dying his hair and got tatted it got a bit weird for me. For me the look just didn't suite him, but to each their own. I still wish they would bring the show back. Nothing else on G&S interests me in the least.
Tabletop was the best thing on this channel ")
just to clarify the theme. The cards don't represent who YOU are. It represents who currently has your letter. Which is why the princess is a card. Once she has your letter you're good unless you scorn her because then she discards your letter in the fire and you're out.
So the game is your letter passing around from Guard to handmade to baron to priest to Guard again to King and whoever is closest to the princess they get the letter to her first and she doesn't bother with any other letters for the rest of the evening.
Thank you for explaining; I have been so confused about that. Like "Why would the king be giving his daughter a love letter...?" The game is about how close to the princess your card can get without one of the other suitors finding it and destroying it.
PhazonOmega it is funny though. Very GOT
So I'm guessing the guard is you sending someone to check on people of a certain class to see if they have a love letter from a specific person.
@@LassBisharp Basically yes. There's a surprising amount of th eme in the game but it's not 100% plotted out. Then again i've only played 1st ed there might be more theme stuff in the new edition (3rd I think)
RIP Grant, you were a beautiful soul
nika is like purpose built to be everyone's crush isnt she? she is just so freaking delightful.
You can say that again, other me. lol
Felicia Day clearly agrees :D
She's not fat. It's her build, she's healthy, and she's not even husky. Different women have different body types, and personally I find her body type attractive; a lot of guys do, and a lot don't. But she's not fat. :/
Yes, I know you're a troll. Yes, I posted this before. Yes, I did so because You-Tubers get a lot of flak as it is, and I would prefer to be encouraging and help balance the trolling and hating for their sake.
Aww grant. He GENUINELY seemed to enjoy new games and activities.
Normally, I avoid rules-lawyering, but this is for any new gamers that are interested in playing Love Letter, it's an awesome game that everyone deserves to play:
When you play cards they stay in front of you on the table, not in a shared discard pile. This is important, as they are used in the tie-breaker situation that occurs at 20:25. You add up the value of the cards you played, and the higher total wins.
Wil explains the Baron slightly incorrectly: When you play the Baron, you compare the OTHER card you have remaining in your hand with someone else's hand, not comparing the Baron you played with their card, so can win against cards other than the Guard or Priest. When the Baron is first played, around the 5:40 mark, they actually play it correctly, comparing hands, but it sounds like they played it incorrectly during the jump-cut, around the 14:43 mark. Also important and often overlooked with the Baron is that, if you compare hands and you both have the same card, usually the Prince, then NOTHING HAPPENS. The Baron states "The lower value is out of the round". In a draw, both players will see each others card, probably smile with the realization of what just happened, and continue playing, leaving everyone else momentarily confused.
I agree. You got to bring back this show. Wicked fun to watch and introduced me to so many great games!
I've been really curious about how Love Letter was and now I know it really is this simple, yet awesome, game everyone talks about so much. Thank you for this and for the message in the end of this video. I'm really excited about season 3 and hope it gets to us really soon. Congratulations and keep up with the awesome work you guys have been doing!
Nika on Tabletop, ahhhh my worlds are colliding!
This is her second time!
Geek & Sundry Nika is always a delightful guest to have on. :)
Tyler DeLisle hi
Bring back this show!
Nika! ♥
Its so surreal having this group of people together and on the same page lol. People who had a hand in so many things I love.
I bought this game last weekend, my friends and I have found that if you pick a occupation and the make a story as to why the princess has given you a token of her affection (love cube) that the game becomes more fun and personal.
Also incase of a tie the person who had the highest value discards is the winner, which is why it's a good idea to play with separate discard piles.
Enough about my experience with the game, great show and I'm looking forward to season 3, this series had really steered me back towards board games.
I got this game for Christmas and have not played it until I found your video showing how to play! Thank you so much for showcasing this game!!! I love love games and love watching you guys play!!! Keep it up! So much fun!
Will,, your Sundays are amazing, love the energy.
This game is awesome. Love playing it when my friends and I have a little bit of downtime waiting for things.
I actually buy a lot of the games you guys play because watching you guys play it but actually playing it makes it more fun ty guys make a great third season
I figured Grant had the Princess in the first round, because he left that card on the table untouched, never even looking at it when he drew the subsequent cards.
5 years late, but I agree that that's both a really good newb player tell, as well as a pro player bluff.
I play this game with my friends all the time. I love it!
Wow, it's amazing how much some of the simple post-production affects the quality of the show. You don't notice it when watching the regular episodes, but they clearly put a lot of work into it to take out the fluff and boost the quality.
PokemonTom09 thats why they needed crowdfunding to make another season
H,!,,,
Sweet. I get to nitpick. You're supposed to discard the cards that you play in front of yourself so that, in the event of a tie, the person with the highest total value of his/her discarded cards wins. Also, one must keep them them in discard order to make deduction easier.
Damn, you got to say it before me! :P
Let me say Mr. Zinser and his team thank you for this review and play! Let me say this is an outstanding game!
8:35
"What happens now?" Priceless!
A friend of mine bought this game after watching this video. We played a couple of time and have to say it is really entertaining. The best thing is that he can carry it anywhere. Also, the fact that it have a short game play is a plus when all our friends get reunited as it gives everybody the opportunity to play.
I just saw your TV show. The Wil Wheaton Project. It was pretty funny. Thanks for that and for this.
Hope they do another show on this with the expanded version. It's even more interesting with the extra roles.
I love this game. We play it in game at my LARP.
This was on my birthday!
Time to watch this entire playlist. Game on. >:3
This video made me get Love Letter
I'm so glad they've played his cuz some of my friends were playing this onthe bus and they wouldn't explain to me what it was or how toplay and I couldnt figure it out from just watching them but it seemed fun and interesting
When Grant said "you have a prince" , i thought someone is going to say . . "ooooooooh, someone just got BUSTED!"
YES PLEASE!! LOVE LETTER, COUP PLEASE!!
The quick qualities for being on Tabletop: 1) under an hour
2) relatively simple rules
3) easy to track via camera
4) generally not card games (watching the players stare at their cards makes for a boring show even if the game is fun)
5) both chance and strategy (chance gives newcomers a potential win, strategy gives thought points)
6) theme
7) in production
Top left shelf ... is that Labyrinth I spy?
God I loved that game as a kid.
Really, we missed a perfect opportunity for a Spin Doctors reference in round 3 with the Two Princes?
I literally got the biggest crush on Nika, it's insane :I
This was a great group of gamers. I really like all of them, especially Nika, and would love to play some games with them.
Aww, Wil thanking Felicia for giving him a job was sweet! :)
just when I think I've heard that song for the last time lol
"why are sitting there writing letters?? you could just talk to her.. don't be a nerd!" - haha I love that so much
just saying but me and my friend totally rocked this game.
I adore Love Letter. :D
Damn I just read what Wil is 42! That man is gonna live forever!
Totally need Tabletop to make some episodes during this friggin' pandemic!! :)
Hey! I won the copy of the Love Letter game at my local TableTopDay! :-D
Also, Wil Wheaton has the best job ever. He plays games. Awesome.
I was so shock when i saw u in big bang theory!!
Thank you for the Ace of Base reference, Grant and Nika. =)
Table top marathon is starting.....NOW!
I think all of us were supporting the Anne Wheaton/ Nika Harper tie breaker pillow fight
Ole Classic Wheaton
Awww.... they're playing for companion cubes!
Anne Wheaton is so naturally funny!
I fucking love her!
Woo a game on tabletop that I play already. I keep a copy in my car at all times.
great show... Will you are the best. I personally never got the chance to play some of the amazing games that you guys do, but I had one game for a very long time and it's Bootleggers. It's an awesome game and I would be more than happy if you guys can make an episode of you playing that game.
They should do more livestreams.
Love Wil and Anne :)
I live in New Hampshire and have never heard of the New Hampshire princes. Have I been living under a rock?
Hey Wil, I love your show. You ought to play 7 Wonders. I played it recently and really enjoyed it.
Thanks for talking about tattoos without showing them to us. Because we're not left curious now or anything.
We had a gaming night for work tonight. It could have used more tabletop games, they were mostly the party type games, but a lot of fun either way.
Sulu and Crusher... playing Love Letter.
Oh My!
Do you think that Grant Imahara plays Sulu?
Chad Okada he does on Official Star Trek Continues
Thanks William. After I posted that I thought "For sure someone is going to comment about Grant not being Sulu not knowing about Continues." I'm glad you stuck up for me.
Christina Lacey LOL I love Grant Imahara on Mythbusters but that Star Trek Continues is sooo bad. TOS has always been campy but the Star Trek Continues series is just plain cheese...In my humble opinion, of course.
MrUmakemelaff It's kind of supposed to. It's an uber sincere continuation of the original series, in all its cheese...and...over-acting
Nika Harper, Dodger Leigh, and Chloe Dykstra - the (un)holy trinity of hot female TableToppers.
***** I agree 100%, Nika is one incredibly feisty & sexy young lady :-). Dodger Leigh too. Can't recall who Chloe Dykstra is though!
***** I would throw Tara Strong into your list, though then it wouldn't be a trinity ;-).
lol "I like sharing ..but also... murder!" that was hilarious!
Dang, dude. Gotta say, Wil and Anne are couple goals, seriously.
Awesome
Nika "Extremely Attractive" Harper. She's so wonderful.
Also former Rioter "Nikasaur" of Summoner's Showcase in League of Legends.
she got really fat
As I recall, she was never really super thin. She looks about the same to me.
Yep, i agree. She's just fine if i do say so myself.
ZeketheZealot I know her from Riots "Summoner Showcase" and she never had that huge ass
Back in my day this was how gaming was back in 1956! -
My Grandfather
You're supposed to track who has played which cards, in case of a tie when the cards run out, you compare the played cards value as a second tiebreaker.
Batman edition of Love Letter is pretty awesome if anyone wants to try it.
Anne seems like the best wife ever lol. I love that she completely takes pride being famous for smashing the table in that Ticket to Ride episode xD
I saw table top play legendary and I found this game called dice masters, there are starter sets that you can expand on with booster packs but there are a fair share of Marvel starter sets and DC but there is also a D&D one too.
Grant is really good at this game, also I really do have to get this game.
I saw the krosmaster arena you guys should play it!
Just so everyone knows, if you buy the boxed version the score counters aren't little red cubes they're little heart tokens. I still own the pouch version. Because pouch.
Not to be a rules lawyer, but you're actually supposed to place your played cards in front of you once you play them. The higher total wins in the event of a tie.
And other stuff.
"If you like resistance, coup or bang or werewolf..."
I have all of them
would love to see you guys play Isla Dorada or Infiltration
Infiltration must be one of my favorite games now. I completely agree it should be in the next season of Tabletop. =)
Grant showed a nice tell, not holding his card and only looking at the new drawn card. I would use a guard on him if possible :)
You should definitely make Nika Grant, Felicia and Colin Ferguson regulars. They are so much fun. You really have a wonderful circle of friends.
Now... play more games😜
First time i played love letter, i got the princess EVERY SINGLE round as my first card... so it just ended up with me being called for having the princess all the time ever since X3
Next time play Coup! I feel like that would be fun to watch.
The Princes at 19:35 ran off to New Hampshire where the were Promptly met by the New Hampshire Dark Magics and were destroyed.
I thought when you play the baron, you chose the player to go against and compare "hands". not compare the other players card against the baron.
travisleasure Yeah, that's the right way to play it :)
travisleasure That is also the way I play it aswell
That's how they played, though Will explained it incorrectly.
Wil is just clearly thinking about 20 different things during this. Like he said, big day.
No need to defend him buddy; no one was attacking the guy.
Have to say when me and my friends first played love letter we looked at the cubes and thought of Pandemic so from then on they were chlamydia
Interesting timing of that annotation at 7:45
.
Grant
Somehow I really can't get attachted to the tabletop day sessions. Not that I don't like to see you guys laughing, having fun and talking.. but i like tabletop .. well because of tabletop games. and that's more like watching you talking about a game I never actually see. I really miss the post production insert of cards, and the top over view of the table.. and well... to see the game. Please don't get this as flame comment, I still enjoy watching you talking, but I simply would whish (ESPECIALLY on TABLETOP DAY) to watch a game being played with you talking and having fun while you play it, rather than seeing you talking and having fun while you play some game.
But anyway.. keep up, and I really appreciate and enjoy your work.
Dear Wil,
good job. That is all.
More Nika Harper!!!!!!
I never heard of the Wheatons 'til I came here to watch Wil host Ticket To Ride. Anne is a beautiful lady and I love her carefree spirit. In TTR: Winner of the game gets a Rolex watch...bamm! I like that even if she isn't quite sure of herself she still enjoys the game and that is exactly what happened with my fam last night. We were quite confused about the rules to this game and after one round we gave up. I wish AEG would give more thorough instructions. When we come to UA-cam we are often left to interpret rules along with 1000s of other viewers.
Rest in Peace Grant.
@ 4:30 - Both Grant and Nika could still be holding Guard cards (there are 5 total) Grant could be holding a Baron that he just drew on his turn if he was holding the Guard when Nika took her turn. But since he didn't bother to conceal that the discarded card was the one drawn, I guess we do know he doesn't have a Baron. Important to conceal which card you're discarding.
This makes more sense to me if the cards are favors the person on the card owes you, some minor contact or relationship you have with them, which you are going to use to try to get them to deliver your love note to the Princess. That's why the princess is the best because for whatever reason she will accept your love note directly. If you discard a card that is like stepping on the favor, leaving bad feelings, which is why you lose if you discard the Princess. This also I think brings more of a feel of court intrigue to the game because it is manipulation, espionage and deceit that you are conducting through your web of favors and contacts, represented by the cards.
Awesome vid lol
Props to Grant for the Ace Of Base reference.
Thinking of grabbing a group of friends for the next Tabletop day...I mean we already meet up anyway, why not right? Though I'd love to do this at a local game shop, sadly nobody in the Seattle area is doing it...which surprises me to be honest.
Please play "one night only: ultimate werewolf" They played it on polaris, it was great fun to watch.
