Hello everybody! Quick update. I just got back from a weeklong family vacation. I hope you enjoyed my TOP 10 CINEMATIC SOLOS list. I've been so busy lately that I had to record and edit the video during vacation. If it sounds or looks different, that's why.

I'm hoping to get back on track with videos this week. I'm working on the next RETAIL RUNDOWN. I meant for this to come out weeks ago, but as I say things have been crazy busy. I'll probably permanently change this series to bimonthly.

Totally Tabled members on Patreon and YouTube (Totally Tubular tier and higher) get to vote for a playthrough each month. For March they have voted for SWEET LANDS. Obviously, I'll need to do the playthrough in April. Again, very busy.

Next month I'm also planning: a playthrough of the next ROVE game, another Totally Decked episode, a preview of the new edition of HOTSHOTS, a playthrough of SHACKLETON'S BASE, and more.

Poll time! If you could only pick one, what improvement would you most like to see from the board game industry as a whole?

Hello everybody! Quick alert. I've been working like crazy on a sponsored video and the first part is coming out tomorrow. I am talking about my playthrough of the new expansion for Voidfall -- VOIDFALL: RESURGENCE by Mindclash Games.

The Kickstarter campaign launches tomorrow March 17, so if you can please stop by Totally Tabled and check out my video tomorrow, I would be very grateful. As many of you know, Voidfall is one of my favorite games of all time and I am so excited to have this opportunity to show off some of the new features in the expansion.

I'll be playing a new House and new scenario using the new solo/co-op mode called Incursion. In this mode, the Voidborn actually move around the board and skirmish more frequently and unexpectedly. Incursion is a much more dynamic and dangerous form of Voidfall. I can't wait for you all to see it.

The Voidborn also have new ships at their disposal, new crisis cards with new effects, and I'm playing as one of the six new houses -- House Erevon.

I hope you enjoy the video tomorrow. Thanks so much for supporting the channel!

Hello everyone! I hope you are enjoying my solo playthrough of Railroad Tiles, along with my plays of Star Trek: Captain's Chair, Wingspan with the Americas expansion, Viticulture with the Bordeaux expansion, and the newest Button Shy game to hit crowdfunding: The Weather Machine.

Also check out my two Top 10 videos about my most anticipated solo games and expansions for 2026. A third video in this trilogy is coming soon.

Lastly, I began a new series, Totally Decked, where I'll feature solo plays of games that use a standard deck of cards. I started with one of my favorites: Scoundrel. Hope you enjoy it.

Totally Tabled members on Patreon and YouTube (Totally Tubular tier and higher) get to vote for a playthrough each month. For February we have a tie between The Old King's Crown and Shackleton Base! I never decided how to deal with a tie, so I suppose I need to make playthroughs for both. Which will be first? I'm not sure yet.


In final news, my favorite American Football team, the Seattle Seahawks, won the Superbowl! Exciting!

Poll time! This one is for a very very small number of subscribers: Which of the following card games would you like to see next on Totally Decked? Thanks!

Hello everyone! Totally Tabled members on Patreon and YouTube (Totally Tubular tier and higher) get to vote for a playthrough each month. For January they picked STAR TREK: CAPTAIN'S CHAIR. I've already filmed it and I'm currently working on the edit. I hope to release the video later this week.

This month, I also plan to make videos for two new expansions of popular games, so keep an eye out for those. And I plan to release my Top 10 Most Anticipated Solos of 2026 list. January is shaping up to be a very busy month.

Poll time! With 2025 coming to a merciful end, how do you feel the year went for solo gaming?

Hello everyone! I needed a break, so I took a week off from the channel, but now I'm back. Sorry I haven't been responding to comments. I'll do my best to catch up this week.

Tomorrow I'm releasing a full solo playthrough of UNMATCHED ADVENTURES: TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES! Please check it out. I don't want to spoil the video, but it gets a little crazy at the end.

I hope you enjoyed my extensive coverage of SPEAKEASY. If you are looking to play your first heavy euro, Speakeasy is a great place to start.

For members, I released the second episode of my podcast TABLED TALK. I discuss positivity in the hobby, my AI policy, my 11-20 solo games that everyone should play, I go over my thoughts on LOTR: Fate of the Fellowship, and so much more.

If you feel generous this holiday season, I'd greatly appreciate if you became a member via my Patreon at www.patreon.com/totallytabled or joined on YouTube. Thank you so much to everyone who has already supported the channel.

I'm going to try to recharge a bit this month, so I'm not sure what is coming up. I'm in a weird gaming mood right now. I might need to go back to my old favorites. We will see.

Poll time! I have a simple one: Do you give board games as gifts during the holidays?

Hello everyone! I just released another playthrough of PRIMAL, this time featuring new expansion content including two new hunters. If you are interested in Primal, Reggie Games is currently having a sale on their website. Check out the description of the video for all the details.

I am currently editing my playthrough of SPEAKEASY and hope to release it THIS WEEK, so stayed tuned for that. I already released a members-only first look video where I completely setup the game. I will also release a video where I learn the game from the rulebook, if you are curious to see how I approach learning a heavy game. Then I will release my typical full solo playthrough video as normal.

At the end of the month, I plan on releasing the second installment of my members-only podcast Tabled Talk. Check out my Patreon page to see how you can join up.

And currently on my table is ... STAR TREK CAPTAIN'S CHAIR. It was calling to me, so I'm finally playing it. I'm super excited. If anyone has advice, please let me know.

Poll time! This is a question I've been curious about for a while, but I don't think I've asked it before: how often do you play physical board games multiplayer in real life? Thanks!
