I recap the past year on my tabletop, including the Top 10 Events of 2021 from my tabletop. This episode includes a mix of personal achievements, amazing results from my tabletop games, and also illustrates how good planning can help you meet your goals.

Tonight's Inside Look features Fury Hardball by Plaay Now. I will play a game live and discuss the different charts, ratings, and rules while I play a game in under 15 minutes!!

In this episode I walk through five items that I would love to have on my tabletop in 2022.

I'm rebranding my Game of the Week as Inside Look. In this episode I'm going under the hood (somewhat literally) with Demo Derby Smashdown by Plaay Now. This is a Demolition Derby simulation game featuring fictional drivers. I'll recap a recent game from my tabletop in order to show you how the game plays and provide an overview of the game mechanics. You can check out my Demo Derby 2021 Season here: https://sites.google.com/view/castawaytabletopsports/demo-derby-smashdown-2021 

This week I am providing a retrospective of my Final Foursome project using History Maker Golf by Plaay Games. I also talk a little about how to play the game and what worked and didn't work in the project. You can check out full results of the project here: Final Foursome Project

It's the final leg of the 2000s Greats Final Foursome project, as Phil Mickelson faces off against Sergio Garcia at the Champions Course in Augusta, GA. I'm using History Maker Golf by Plaay Games.

Based on some recent experience in our SLOBS league, I put together a quick review of how and when to use strategy cards in History Maker Baseball. This is mostly based on my personal preference, but I do think it covers the intent behind the strategy cards. I will also be posting a summary guide on my Facebook page (Tabletop SportCast), so look for it there.

It's time for our game of the week. I'm tweaking my approach to game recaps to talk more about game mechanics and how I approach the game play on my tabletop, while still using the actual game results to show how the action unfolds.

I also give an update on some new strategies I'm using for planning my tabletop play. 

I'm sharing some of my game design ideas with the community in the hopes of launching a cooperative game design network for others to take part in. Among the games shared today are The Milers, Bull Riding, two basketball games, and an adventure racing game. All in various stages of development. You can check those out here: Cooperative Game Design

I also give a recap of my gaming week and a lesson on how to correct course when plans don't execute correctly.

In this episode I give my thoughts on the good and bad of my 1973 NFL Replay and give some insight into what I might do differently the next time around. I also take advantage of the retrospective to provide some insight into Second Season Express as a game, and what target audience/project it is best suited for. There's also a recap of the week that was on the tabletop. Hope you enjoy!
