NERBLOCK TABLETOP BOX - info 1

This box comes with a card that details all the items included.

NERBLOCK TABLETOP BOX - info 2

NERBLOCK TABLETOP BOX - items 1

Geek & Sundry Playing Cards - $8?

Wil Wheaton’s D6 – value: $4?

These are great basic items for a table top box. The cards are regular playing cards, but the D6 is actually a novelty die! I guess Wil Wheaton has chronic bad luck with dice rolls because this die lets you roll “the Wheaton Way” – but every side is a 1! Haha.

NERBLOCK TABLETOP BOX - items 2

Felicia Day Pencils – two pencils, value: $3?

Geek & Sundry bumper sticker – value: $2?

These items are more merch/swag than table-top related. They feel a little like filler items, but I know they’re things that people who are fans of Geek & Sundry’s shows and Felicia Day and such.

NERBLOCK TABLETOP BOX - items 3

Geek & Sundry Player Tokens and Velvet Pouch – value: $10?

These tokens are nice, metal pieces to keep track of your characters. They have some pretty cool designs, too. However, I wonder if mine has an error… There are 5 total: 2 warriors, a rogue, bard, and a barbarian. However, the info card shows only one warrior, and a wizard token which I don’t have. Which is a bummer because wizard/magic is usually the classes I go for. There’s a detail photo below.

No Survivors Notepad – value: $6?

No Survivors is one of Geek & Sundry’s shows which they stream on Twitch.  This is just a basic notepad that flips up. Handy to keep track of scores, rolls, D&D details, etc.

NERBLOCK TABLETOP BOX - items 4

Here’s a better look at the tokens – they feel like very nice quality!

NERBLOCK TABLETOP BOX - items 5

Funko Magic the Gathering: Legacy Collection Figure, Ajani Goldmane – value: $24.99

This is the item I’m most excited about in this box! My husband and I really like Magic the Gathering, and he’s really into the stories involving all of the planes walkers. This isn’t our favorite walker – Jace is our favorite – but we like Ajani and he looks pretty hardcore here. My husband just got his own office here in our new house so he’s really excited about displaying his little collectibles!

NERBLOCK TABLETOP BOX - items 6

Dungeons & Dragons Shadows of the Vampire Comic Book – value: $5?

It’s hard for me to put a value on this because it’s exclusive and I really don’t know the value landscape of comic books well. This one is a D&D themed book that features the cast of Geek & Sundry’s show Critical Role.

Geek & Sundry International Table Top Day T Shirt – value: $18?

I think this shirt is pretty cool! I love how it just casually says “I played more games” and then has a symbol for International Table Top Day 2016. It fits great, too. (Photo of me wearing it below.)

Here’s what the t shirt looks like on! It fits like a glove and I’m excited to wear it April 30th.

Verdict: Nerd Block’s Table Top Box was, overall, not bad! I think there were some good collectibles and basics for gamers, but I think many of the items have the value Geek & Sundry intended only for people that are fans of Geek & Sundry. What I mean by that is some of it seems “swaggy” to me, like the bumper sticker, pencils (even though I love Felicia Day), and maybe even the comic book. The Wil Wheaton D6 is funny, but unusable really, so it’s more of a collectible too. I know a lot of people who snagged this box (myself included) were really hoping for a board game or even card game or something of that nature. I was a little disappointed that there were no stand-alone games, just accessories for other games – which is fine, because their target audience already plays some table top games. That being said, I am part of the target audience and I still feel like a game in itself of some sort would really have made this box for me.  Also, I wish there would have been maybe a really cool set of (playable)  dice (like D6s, D20s, etc), and that my token set wasn’t missing the Wizard.

All in all, it could have been better in my personal opinion, but I am still quite happy with it! I still got some really cool items! And I’m going to go check out Geek & Sundry’s shows, too. The value – based off my rough estimation for some items – comes out to about $81. They had stated this box was supposed to have a value of $70+ so I may have overestimated some individual values but I’m still in the ballpark.

I was totally looking forward to this box, but was disappointed. None of it made me think “man, I can’t wait to play some table top games on the weekend!”. It seemed more like a promotional box for Geek and Sundry rather than a celebration of table top games and table top day. I’m all for collectables, but these aren’t even top notch collectables. The only thing I’ll probably put to use for table top games are the pencils and the note pad, a rather expensive price tag for those I might add.

I was pretty disappointed by this box. Playing cards? REALLY? Meh. I also got Ajani.

This was a complete bust at our house. Definitely not worth the money spent. I bought it thinking there would be a game or a usable game accessory. All the swag was really disappointing.

I was disappointed in the coins as well, but only because there is no cleric. This was definitely a box curated for the beginning gamer, anyone who has been playing games long enough would already have most of this stuff.

I agree with your verdict. It’s pretty much what I said to my husband after I opened my box. This stuff is nice, but I was hoping for something more usable. I love the M:tG figure, the tokens, and the t-shirt. I was expecting a box for Tabletop Day to have a tabletop game in it, whether a card or small board game. I know a pack of playing cards came in it, but who doesn’t have that? We just came back from PAX East this weekend (it was amazing, as usual). There are so many game companies, especially the smaller ones, that are trying to get their name out there. I bet a lot of them would have been overjoyed to be approached to get their game in this box. I would have even been happy with a little Geek & Sundry Munchkin pack or something like that. I guess this was a nice box, but like you said, a lot of it seemed to be swag, and I just expected something more.

I love Geek and Sundry and TableTop games! But I would have been disappointed with this box – I would have expected a board game.

Boy oh boy am I relieved that I didn’t buy this! The bf is seriously into tabletop rpg gaming (the one area of geekery that I could never get into) but neither of us has ever heard of Geek and Sundry or Tabletop Gaming Day and it seems like it’s all about them! Weird. And the only major thing in the box is the MtG vinyl figure and he despises that game. (Also the only tabletop rpg-ish game I ever liked.) This would have been a complete bust for him.
