TableTop is a web series about games, directed by Jennifer Arnold. It was created by Wil Wheaton and Felicia Day and was hosted by Wheaton.[1] TableTop was published on Felicia Day's YouTube channel, Geek & Sundry. In each episode, following a brief explanation of one or more tabletop games, Wheaton plays the games with one or more guests—usually web or TV personalities.[2]

A wide range of hobby gaming titles have been played, from classic German-style board games and family games to RPGs and card games.[3] It has been described as "like Celebrity Poker meets Dinner for Five, where interesting people got together for tabletop games."[4]

After two seasons, the show announced that its third season would be crowdfunded via Indiegogo, and was the most successful digital series campaign on that site until Con Man broke its record in March 2015.[5][6][7] The series ended in 2017.
