Going back through these videos (wish will still did them) and seeing total biscuit was like damn. he was such a good guy to have in the gaming sphere and used to love his reviews. shame he is gone
@@JAppJohnAndrewPatrickPeters that is unfortunately not accurate as john bain was born in 1984, which would make him 40 if he was still with us 😢. this was uploaded 10 years ago which mean he was probably 29 when this was filmed. i still miss him 😭
John was truly a man worth grieving for. He inspired so many people to get into the industry, and his impact on TH-cam as a whole will never truly go away. May he rest in peace.
I knew immediately that TotalBiscuit was trying to be very coy with the telling of the re-roll xD. It was def one of those 'Wah-wha-whaaaaaaa" fails when it took Wil lto flat out say " No, you won't" xD
@@orkunakman1541 Monster in Tokyo punches everyone, guy. He was in Tokyo. _Obviously_ he can. Hence the entire reason in the first place that TB asked for a reroll -- no reason to make him reroll the punch if the monster can't punch, like you claim lel. Come back in another four years when you understand.
Totalbiscuit's accent combines the roundness of Newcastle, the loudness of Scotland, the festering resentment of Yorkshire, and the condescension of West London to deliver the ultimate pan-British insult.

I love these tabletop videos. Great presentation of the game, rules and everything! Especially that you show the cards, so that we can read the text. And showing the score.
Omg. After 35 yrs on this earth, I'm just now venturing into the awesomeness of obscure board games that tend to put the classic board games to shame. This youtube channel is now my all time favorite. I really hope you are being paid handsomely for advertising these games since its because of you I plan on purchasing a truckload of your featured games. Way to go Will! King of Tokyo is officially on my shopping list.
I feel like this and pandemic are some of the best table top videos they have made because they're masterfully explained and you actually feel a part of the game
Well, KOT rules are fairly simple, so i guess it's easier to explain. That's what i love about the game, it's a game you can easily bring to a party and explain the rules in a couple minutes.
THANK YOU WIL Our local comic book store has tabletop game night every month, and this coming month is the first kid's night, featuring Kings of Tokyo. I volunteered to chaperone but have never played this game, so thanks so much for the intro! Much appreciated.
That newspaper at 10:31 is cool. The Japanese is actually pretty accurate. The headline at the top says "Time Lapse," the big vertical one on the right says "Who will be the next king?" and the vertical one to the left of that says "Is Wil going to lose again?" So it wasn't just a half-assed generic graphic. +1 respect
Guys... Totalbiscuit and wheezywaiter are on the same episode of one of my favorite newly found shows. And its has two of my favorite youtubers on it.... This is good
the only way this could have been better was if sips was on instead of the other random dude. No offense to him i just have literally no idea who he is and well sips, nuff said
'If you're healing, you're healing' Thanks. Helpful. Couldn't figure that out. This was fun to watch too. Enjoyed Wil as Gigazaur a lot. That voice effect was fun too of course.
I've been interested in this game for a few months but haven't had a chance to play it. This video sold me. Awesome that you got one of the founders of Bioware and Wheezy seems like a typical likable dude from the midwest.
Props to Wil and props to Tabletop, i miss this series so much! i watched this episode 5 years ago and its what made me buy KoT, the first game in my board game collection
Not to be a rule stickler, but techincally greg shoulda gone into the city when he did his first re-roll cause he rolled a claw and the rules say that whent he city is empty, first person to roll a claw will go in (they dont need to use/keep that claw but since they rolled it they go in)
I was reading about King of Tokyo and thinking of buying it but I didn't think it was that fun until I saw this video. It actually looks super fun! The fact that you could actually die in the fight makes it really interesting because you have to constantly keep an eye on your life points. Definitely gonna buy it at some point :¬)
Finally the online shops in my country has gotten King of Tokyo in stock! I bought the base game + power up! + the halloween pack! For anyone interested, the Power Up! pack gives each monster a unique deck of cards you use to evolve in a different way than anyone else which makes the game more diverse and interesting. Thank you tabletop for letting me know about this game, I'm so excited to be able to play it myself!
Guys. Guys. Don't get me wrong - I actually wanted Wheezy to win at the very beginning, when the players were announced. But are we sure that that was the real Wheezy and that he didn't just send in his Cunning Clone or his Board Game Champion Clone to play the game for him?
I really love this show Wil! Star Trek TNG is my favorite TV show, I haven't finished watching all of them yet though. I love the Star Trek references!
Thank YOU!!! I had watched several videos from this series and more than once thought, "Hmm... Will Wheaton... That name sounds familiar and I feel like I've seen that face before..." But it wasn't coming to me.
Oh my freaking god, I just learned Wil Wheaton was "that young guy from star trek". Jesus O_o, talk about a transformation. I still pictured him being like 20-30 year old guy. At least he grew up to be awesome.
7:30. Everyone didn't grab Tokyo cuz I think it's most likely a bad play. If you're stuck with it on the third roll... It is what it is, but don't think going in early game is the right play. I only played a little at a buddies. The game seems awesome and can't wait to play again.
was there a mistake when will gain a life at 21:30 while he was in tokyo? Thought there was a rule shown at 16:47 explaining monster can't heal while in tokyo.
Game, as in Game LTD. Game the company with the purple logo, (its real hard to describe). If you mean town? I got mine in the Braehead shopping center near Glasgow.
Is it just me, or is it better to listen to Totalbiscuit than any of the other guys, including Wil, who I love to hear his humor? I guess I am one of those women who just dies for a guy with an accent. I've played this game and love it, fun and relatively quick...
This looks like an excellent game. Learning that it is another great game designed my richard garfield, I think this one is going to have to end up in my collection now.
Going back through these videos (wish will still did them) and seeing total biscuit was like damn. he was such a good guy to have in the gaming sphere and used to love his reviews. shame he is gone
I agree! I would love to see more content from wil! Also, totalbiscuit was great and we didn't deserve him.
BTW he was only about 23ish here...totally thought he was in his at least mid 30s...but a very funny perfect funny brit
Was NOT ready for TB. That hit me right in the feels. Rest in peace, mate

He's the reason i started playing board games
yeah it sucks that TotalBiscuit is dead.

I knew I remembered he was in this episode.
RIP John Peter Bain
aka TotalBiscuit
July 8, 1984 - May 24, 2018
Damn... I never knew he was only a month older than me.
I’m a day older than him. I had no idea
wow too young
Lol get rekt
"No, actually, you wont. He's telling you to re-roll" God I lost my shit at that point.

16:00 To watch that glorious moment all over again, just in case you didn't get the message. ;)

It's his natural British politeness. It makes it hard to tell his orders from his suggestions.
Totalbiscuit's accent combines the roundness of Newcastle, the loudness of Scotland, the festering resentment of Yorkshire, and the condescension of West London to deliver the ultimate pan-British insult.
You deserve a medal for this masterful comment.
in other words: he's fake.
This is beautiful

I did
"Run! It's Godzilla!"
"It looks like Godzilla, but, due to international copyright laws, it's not."
"Still, we should run like it is Godzilla!!"
"Though it isn't."
Beat me to it.
Michael Meyers is the best.
Michael meyers? Wtf

For my gaming group, this has supplanted Settlers of Catan as our go-to pickup game to such an extent that I often refer to it as "Settlers of Japan."
4 Awesome People + 4 Beards + Kaiju = Glorious
the japanese newspaper says:
the header: "Who will be the next king?"
the smaller header "Is Will going to lose again?"
I love these tabletop videos. Great presentation of the game, rules and everything! Especially that you show the cards, so that we can read the text. And showing the score.
Asaloy I love watching these for these exact reasons! Especially the hype Wil gives the games in the beginning!
One of the best episodes where everyone just sticks to their characters.

Why is this show NOT on tv somewhere? It is so well done and legitimately hilarious.
The expansion makes it even better. Evolutions+the Almighty Pandakai!
rip john, still missed. Loved your work.
the production and effects in this game are awesome! great work guys!
I DIDNT KNOW YOU KNOW WHEEZY! I’ve been watching him for years this is SO awesome!
I am so happy to see Craig on Tabletop! :D
This group was excellent. Something about Wheezy is so adorable. The Kawaii King of Tokyo, yay!
It's funny I played King of Tokyo today with friends and won with the king too :D

Who else just (re-)watched this, after Craig mentioned the episode in his latest vlog?
Need to see him play
watching this because of TotalBiscuit. :)
Eliskor me too mate.. though i bet your comment was made in happier mood
TB has one of modern era's greatest speaking voices. He really ought to try acting. Fantastic Star Wars villain voice.
An extended version of this would probably be the most epic thing ever. I feel like I missed several good jokes that were just skimmed over.
Just watching some old tabletop videos for fun. Then saw TB. Rip john, thank you for all you did for gaming.

Seriously, you guys have really improved on an already awesome show this season. I love every episode!
Every time I play this with new people, they always comment on how the energy cubes looks like candy. xD
Rest In Peace TotalBiscuit
At 15:02 when the parasitic tentacles buy the psychic probe the energy it cost should go to Greg, not to the bank.
I was sure someone would have said this.
Really enjoyed this one...even with a heavy heart. We miss you TotalBiscuit!
I started watching this because TB was on here...He did not disappoint! ;)
I fainted when I saw WheezyWaiter!!
There are lot of missed points. Every time you go into Tokyo you get 1 Point.
The use of Comic Sans on a graduation certificate from the University of Typography? Brilliant.
I miss this show... Wil is the best!
I've been interested in this game for a few months but haven't had a chance to play it. This video sold me. Awesome that you got one of the founders of Bioware and Wheezy seems like a typical likable dude from the midwest.
I'm not sure if I like the gameplay, but the theme is magnificent.
You should try it. It's not overly complex, but it's a lot of fun, especially with six players.
RIP Total Biscuit ( John Bain ) 1984 - 2018.
TokyoBiscuit, the Mechanized Dragon, is here to answer one simple question, WTF is... Tabletop
I
Wow this was so fun to watch and the time flew by.
I love Totalbiscut's voice so much. I may have watched this more than once just to listen to him talking...
Props to Wil and props to Tabletop, i miss this series so much! i watched this episode 5 years ago and its what made me buy KoT, the first game in my board game collection
Please, PLEASE get Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw, MovieBob and Jim Stirling from The Escapist on this show! =D
Dude..YES
It's Sterling.
Al Capwn Oh my, I do love me some grammar nazi ;) *rawr*
Robin Batchelor Please, dahling. I'm a Name Hydra.
Never happen. Yahtzee is way too surly and antisocial. He'd never do it.

Played this today as Cyber Bunny and won (Y) first time playing too =^.^= loved it.
90 seconds in I giggle not because Wil is playing with the figures, but because I noticed the Hyperion T-shirt lol
I was reading about King of Tokyo and thinking of buying it but I didn't think it was that fun until I saw this video. It actually looks super fun! The fact that you could actually die in the fight makes it really interesting because you have to constantly keep an eye on your life points. Definitely gonna buy it at some point :¬)
it's ranked on a lot of sites as like top ten games of the 21st century
Loving the Hyperion shirt :D

Will got Godzilla confused with Grimlock, unless that was intentional.

Honestly I love this show! What's better than watching other people play board games?
The Gigazaur sound effect is getting really annoying. LESS IS MORE.
This is true.
I enjoyed it. Something to shake things up.
Richard Wielgosz That's why he died I think. WHEEZY I think was the annoying one.

Steve G You have insulted the honour of Wheezy Waiter! I demand a duel! Have at thee, knave!
Rest in peace TB
I love that borderlands shirt!
I know, right? I'm probably going to buy that shirt when I find out where I can buy one.
Aw man, now I wanna buy this game. Also, thanks for bringing TB on. And I second bringing Jesse Cox on!
I was given this game by Geek & Sundry at comic con. I was very happy
Yay for TB! :-)
Wil, I am actually in Japan teaching English. If you want, I could try to manage to have students sing the Gigasaur song.
beardos represent!
I played this again the other night. Still a great game.
I want to try the King of New York.
and hey TotalBiscuit! still being awesome.
Didn't expect to see TB. RIP dude, the world still misses you
Goodbye John. I love you and will miss you. Thank you for introducing me to Secret Hitler.
Wil Wheaton is channeling his inner Grimlock.
This video is 1000% more depression now that we've had to say goodbye to TB :(
I enjoy this channel so much
was there a mistake when will gain a life at 21:30 while he was in tokyo? Thought there was a rule shown at 16:47 explaining monster can't heal while in tokyo.
I think he was being sarcastic with that "Wow. Hearts. That's super great, dice." remark, since he couldn't use that heart.
Would you be willing to try Legendary the card game, it's really fun and I want to see you and your friends play it.
UK PEOPLE! You can get this game in certain Game stores for £15 in the New Year sales. I got mine today and I never looked back.
Where?!
Game, as in Game LTD. Game the company with the purple logo, (its real hard to describe). If you mean town? I got mine in the Braehead shopping center near Glasgow.
***** I found it in a Waterstones.
It's now reduced to £9.99! Picked it up earlier this week ^-^
I played this 2 weeks ago with my friends!! It's a really cool game. Tabletop is an awesome show!!!
Is it just me, or is it better to listen to Totalbiscuit than any of the other guys, including Wil, who I love to hear his humor? I guess I am one of those women who just dies for a guy with an accent.
I've played this game and love it, fun and relatively quick...
After watching this I fucking hate gigazaur with a passion
The Andoxico Jesuszilla
Why?
I play as Gigazaur, and i have won 75% of my games.
Yeah... Gigazaur seems like a dum a-wipe in this video. I much prefer Mecha-DAGRON!!!
RIP John Bain
You guys should do a video about "A Game Of Thrones", second edition!
The Game of Thrones board game takes hours to finish. Any game featured on Tabletop has to be completable in about 60-90 minutes.
With a group familiar with the rules you can easily get the Feast For Crows expansion down to 60-90 minutes.
This looks like an excellent game. Learning that it is another great game designed my richard garfield, I think this one is going to have to end up in my collection now.
I think I might go an pick this game up after seeing it played. Looks like a bundle of fun.
RIP Biscuit
