This
isn't a day to clear off all our tables, so we can see our tabletops
– although that is always a good idea!
And
it certainly isn't a day to refinish our marred-and-scratched
tabletops – although, again, if they need them, get on that!
Instead
of household chores, International Tabletop Day is about PLAYING!
Hooray! We are urged to go to a game day at our favorite game store,
coffee shop, or library, or to host a game day at our house – and
then play, play, play all day, day, day.
Last
year there were thousands of public game events in 64 nations
worldwide on International Tabletop Day. There were events in each
and every state in the U.S., and each and every province of Canada,
and there were events on every continent – even Antarctica!
Maybe
that's because tabletop games are universally popular and can be
played anywhere!
(You don't even absolutely have to have a table!)
Tabletop
games include card games, board games, tile games, dice games, and
more!
Check
out my favorite games, gathered on this Pinterest board.
Here is a Pinterest
board with templates, printables, ideas, and other resources for making
your own individualized board game! And here
is a step-by-step plan for making your own game, from Wiki How.
Finally, here is a link Wil Wheaton (geek and gamer extraordinaire) recommends for inexpensive tabletop RPGs (Role Playing Games) for kids.
