Tabletop Day: Jax Style

Yesterday’s Tabletop Day was a big success here in Jacksonville, FL at Happy Viking Games, who were WONDERFUL hosts. There were two big rooms of tables and there were definitely times when it was hard to find a corner to start a new game, which is the best problem to have. There were literally bags of games everywhere. To top it all off, as promised, there was some delicious cake.

Even cake is a game at Tabletop day…I wasn’t fast enough to take a picture before it was cut.

The coolest thing about TableTop day was watching people learn new games. The group here in Jacksonville was very friendly and ready to teach others and then, of course, challenge them to a round. I taught someone a personal favorite “Ticket to Ride” and new friend Filipe took out a large chunk of the day to let me learn “Magic the Gathering”. By “learn” I mean scratch the surface..that game is awesome but intense!

There is no way to recount all the games and people involved in all 12 hours of Happy Viking’s extravaganza but these pictures are some of the highlights of the day.

Games EVERYWHERE, sometimes without people even playing them!

Don’t know what this game is, but it involved throwing paper at each other. Winner!

As the hours wore on, the caffeine came out.

Magic the Gathering became Glen’s favorite game.

Of course, TableTop day wasn’t just in Jacksonville…it was across the globe!
