International Tabletop Day – April 30, 2016

If you’re looking for an excuse to play a bunch of board games, card games, dice games, and party games this weekend, you’ve got one — International Tabletop Day.

You won’t be alone in your game day this Saturday because a gazillion people around the world will be doing the same thing.

Ok, maybe not a gazillion. But there will be a ton!

International Tabletop Day started in 2012 by the folks at Geek & Sundry and it’s caught on big time with more than 3,000 scheduled events on all 7 continents around the world!

Even if you don’t make it out to one of the hundreds of community centers, libraries, churches, cafes, pizza joints, and more around the world you can have your own game day at home.

We think the best way to prepare is to start setting out the games you’d like to play that day. That way, all week you’ll see the games just waiting to be played with your family and friends.

If you need ideas, here’s our recommendation of fun, family-friendly games to play this coming Saturday:

• Telestrations
• Ticket to Ride (any version)
• Sheriff of Nottingham
• King of Tokyo
• 7 Wonders
• Pandemic

• Dominion
• Splendor
• Tokaido
• Incan Gold
• RoboRally
• Roll for the Galaxy
