It’s the last 10 minutes of your favorite sci-fi TV show…
Except that this time things have gone seriously wrong and The Captain Is Dead!
The Captain is Dead is a frantic and fun cooperative board game that puts you and your friends in the role of crew members on a besieged starship.
Our friends at Alderac Entertainment Group were kind enough to provide us with an early copy of this highly anticipated game, so that you can try it before anyone else!
Stop by the store on International Tabletop Day (April 29th) to play in a demo or watch our First Play of the game LIVE on YouTube on April 23 at 11 AM PST.

Now in its fifth year, International Tabletop Day is a celebration for all the fans of tabletop gaming: a single day where the whole world is brought together in a common purpose of spending time together and having fun.
Our wizards will be hosting several games throughout the day, showcasing the best the industry has to offer. Whether you're passionate about board games, like Ticket to Ride, or you're looking to unleash your imagination in a game of Dungeons & Dragons, we'll have the perfect game ready for you to play.
This year we've teamed up with Extra Life and joined the Geek and Sundry team to help raise funds for the Children's Miracle Network: please help us support this worthy cause by donating what you can on our team page.
Whether you decide to spend the whole day with us, or just drop in for a 10 minute game, we look forward to rolling some dice with you! However, if you live too far away or simply can't get away for a spell, you can still join the action by following the exploits of our Wizards and the First Play team on our YouTube channel: we'll be streaming games live during the entire event! (and remember to like and subscribe: our subscribers are entered to win a free game every month!)
As a thank you, we are offering a 20% discount off MSRP on all TableTop-featured games and their expansions, as well as complimentary day's rental from our wide-ranging board game library! Purchases of $100 or more include a free 'Big Whale' grab-bag chock full of goodies like a free game (yes, a free, fully fledged game, not an expansion), a Dragon's Dough card (ranging between $5 and $50 in value), and much more!
Take part in our Promotional Game Raffle to earn chances for an assortment of amazing prizes. Share a picture of yourself on the Throne of Games (It’s BACK and here to stay!), bring a friend, play some games: there are lots of ways to earn your raffle tickets! Be sure to stop in to learn them all.
For a more information on our ITTD events, see the 'Events' section of our website, check out our live stream of the event on YouTube or ask one of our Wizards for assistance. Until then (April 29th), play more games!
