My week started off with a game of Brass Lancashire, but the big news was that Extra Life, a worldwide charity gaming event, was this past weekend.

While I did spend most of Extra Life organizing events, teaching games, running auctions and trying to get people to part with their money I did get in quite a bit of gaming. A total of 11 game plays spread over 8 different games.
We also discussed Extra Life on episode 15 of our tabletop gaming podcast. [ READ MORE ]

In addition to talking about inserts, we take an extended look back at The Tabletop Bellhop Launch Party where we all played a ton of games. [ READ MORE ]
