Sunday King of Tokyo

 Cut up some apples & sat down to play some King of Tokyo with Cody.

Cody likely enjoys setting this Game up as much as actually playing!

We played a tag team variant that he invented--not really sure what the rules are.

But we had a blast beating on each other!

The Hare and the Tortoise

I picked up the Hare and the Tortoise after seeing it on Table Top.

Kate and I read the rules & cracked it out--it was a great game.

Munchkin with Kate & Jack

Humongous Dread Gazebo!

Out to Lunch!

This was one of those games in which all three of us had 10 levels and the next person who beat a monster would win.

Jack had the early lead, but my female super munchkin was able to pull it out off in the end!

This is Kate's most favorite card--particularly apt on Black Friday.

2014 Table Top Day

This year, things started early with some a very close game of Dixit.

Kate won--this is her game and she usually wins. Lisa and I tied.

Then Cody came downstairs and we started some Pokemon.

It took a while for Cody to straighten out his cards & get all the guys he wanted--but Kate was patient.

We have a surprising number of Pokecards.

Cody was off to a great start

Kate stabilized and started to come back.

But in the end Cody was victorious and received the Wolf Throne Trophy! 

Next we headed over to Brookhurst Hobbies

It was super crowded and full of fun--we saw Jace, Mike, Sara, John, Raymond, Henry, and all of the other regulars. It was awesome

We started with some Fluxx--receiving this free promo card:

 and then moved into some very serious Tsuro.

We brought Alexander who played very well.

And then we headed over to Dice House for some Magic Drafting.

Tuan's shop was packed with players--super high energy and a lot of fun.

I got crushed 1-3 playing mono red--but had some fun games. Me and the Emo King ended Table Top Day on a fairly good note:

Kindergarten Tsuro

Cody is very stoked with Tsuro.

He takes it very seriously & has invented some very sophisticated rules to ensure his survival. 

Running two boats is his favorite tactic.

But he also uses a very non approved underwater dragon move as well as a flying boat move that completely rules, even though it is no where in the rules.

Tsuro!

 

So stoked that I finally picked this up for the family. Cannot wait to play today.

King of Tokyo Cup

Cody & I sat down last night for a King of Tokyo at the top of the stairs.

Cody played the King and once again focused on getting the Shrink Ray. I was playing the Kraken and looked to win just by smashing the King in the face.

Cody got off to a great start--doing lots of damage & earning a lot of energy cubes. I was in trouble after round three.

And dead by round six--with the last three rounds only rolling three dice.

And Cody took home the Cup!

King of Tokyo--Kraken vs. Wind Up

Like most American Five Year Old boys, my son Cody is obsessed with Skylanders.

Last night we created a King of Tokyo score card for Wind Up, his current favorite Skylander, so that he could play him in our nightly game.

Cody is still very much about getting cards with energy cubes.

He really got into it last night--the game is designed for older kids, but Cody basically has all the rules memorized and is just working on strategy now.

It was a late night & I looked like your classic crazy dad!

Here is a close up on the Wind Up drawing we put on the score card.

Cody was eating homemade cookies while we were playing--this one went unfinished.

Telepath was the card that cody wanted the most--but he also really liked shrink ray.

in the end Cody once again defeated me & remains the King of Tokyo!
