IT’S the slight intake of breath when you reveal a trap; it’s on-the-spot tactics to take advantage of a weakness.
It’s the crushing disappointment when the dice are just not in your favour, and the exhilaration when victory is in your palm. But, most of all, it’s being able to boast about your exploits and tactics to fellow gamers.
From board games to Magic the Gathering, from Warmachine to Pokémon, table-top games not only give you the chance to be a general of your own army, leader of a Starfighter squadron, ruler of your own civilization, or even a powerful mage – they also require deep thinking and clever strategies to see you through to victory.
Table-top gaming is gaining popularity around the world as players look for more engaging and social hobbies that cater to the geeky side of life.
Table-top gaming engages both the creative and logical aspects of the brain, while adding more depth and fantasy than a game like chess.
At D20 Battleground players from all backgrounds take up these fantastic roles to test their mettle in friendly, competitive, and organised play. Table-top gaming gets you out of the house and off the internet to battle wits in real life with other players.
After the smoke has settled and the games are over, players grab a slice of pizza and discuss where they went wrong, what could be better in the future, and strategise about new tactics they can employ in their next game.
But D20 is not limited to just adults. A range of educational games, science kits, and children’s games let all ages engage both the creative and logical brains. If you want to try your hand at gaming, you can drop by any Thursday, from 18:00 to 22:00, or on weekends from 10:00 to 17:00, at 33 Chrissie Street, Brackenhurst, Alberton.
Chat with the other players over some snacks and see which aspect of this vast and deep hobby you might like to be a part of.
