Welcome back to the weekly Tabletop Games thread! This thread is where we can talk about all kinds of RPGs, card games, board games, etc. Whether you gather around a physical table in the real world, or use a virtual space to play with friends who may live far away from you, this is where you can discuss your favorites, ask for and/or receive recommendations, recap your recent adventures, or even find some people to play games with!
Discussion prompt: Tabletop games can be a fun way to explore different periods of our real history. For instance, board games like Axis & Allies can simulate the battles of World War II, while Civilization imagines the birth and growth of many early real-world, well, civilizations. Fantasy adventures, like D&D, generally take place in a setting based on medieval Europe, but can and have been adapted to settings inspired by every things from Ancient Greece to Prehistoric periods. And other RPGs focus on stories about Regency England, or the early 20th century America. What’s your favorite historical setting to play around in?
