What would you like to see us play on Tabletop Season Three?

Second Season of Wil Wheaton Project. Yes or No? I hope SyFy channel has the foresight to keep it going.

So for those of you who don’t know, earlier this summer, I did 12 episodes of a silly comedy show on Syfy called The Wil Wheaton Project. It was basically The Soup for people like me who enjoy sci-fi, fantasy, and horror, as well as jokes about those things. If you’d like to see a bunch of clips from the show, they’re right here on my YouTube thing.

We’re officially on hiatus right now, and we don’t know if the network will order more episodes. I know that they liked us in a creative sense, but the ratings weren’t very good (ratings are generally not very good in summer, and while I don’t believe that ratings are as important as they once were, my opinion on the matter isn’t particularly important to the decision makers), but the people who did watch us really liked us. So I won’t know for a few more weeks, but until then, I’m on hiatus, which means I get to write more, play more games, and prep for season three of Tabletop, which goes into production in October.

Part of that preparation includes finding 20 games to play on the show, and as of today, I have eight (maybe nine) that are strong contenders.

What do you want us to play on the show next year? Would you tell me the game, the publisher, and why you like it?

Keep in mind the criteria for Tabletop game selection:

  1. Plays well with 4 people.

  2. Plays in under 90 minutes.

  3. Can be generally explained in about 5 minutes.

  4. Has a high ration of luck to strategy, so everyone has a chance to win the game.

  5. Looks great, has clear graphical design and photographs well.

  6. Is not something we’ve played before.

I’d love to hear your ideas in the comments.

  13. Would love to see you play 5th Edition. Loving the new update and looking for other points of view.

    1. Betrayal was a season 2 two-parter which made me decide to get the game (after a long wait for it to become available again)
      Here’s part 1:

  22. I keep seeing that Flash Point game in stores, and it looks interesting, but I’ve never played it and don’t have the money to buy it unless it’s actually good.

  24. Ca$h ‘n Gun$, great quick party game, short and to the point.
    Flash Point, who doesn’t want to play a fireman?

    1. Cash and Guns would be perfect. It takes more players but it just got re-released and I’ve yet to see someone walk away from that game without smiling.

  29. I know it doesn’t exactly fit your criteria but can more fiasco be a thing?

    If not: King of New York just dropped and would go well.

  33. I think it would be great to see an “Alternate versions” show with some of the variants of things like Fluxx, Gloom, Munchkin (and many others). I know that they have been played on the show before, but some of the variant versions offer some different game-play (and banter).

  42. Pirate Den
    Boss Monster
    Epic Spell Wars of the Battle Wizards: Duel at Mt. Skullzfyre

  48. I would love to see a return to Munchkin. Mayhaps a different version? Also: CARDS AGAINST HUMANITY.

  50. Guillotine and San Juan are a couple of standby favorites at my house that I think fit the Tabletop criteria quite nicely. Guillotine, in particular, has a lot of fun & funny card art that I think would look real nice on the show.
