HONESDALE, PA — International TableTop Day will take place at The Cooperage, 1030 Main St. on Saturday, April 11. The day kicks off at 11 a.m. and run s through 9 p.m.

The first TableTop Day, in 2014, was celebrated in 80 countries, over all seven continents and had over 3,000 events in total. This year is anticipated to be even bigger, with dozens of board games to learn and play and several special events. Stop in for an hour or stay all day. Games include Carcassonne, a tile-placement game in which players draw and place squares decorated to create an illustrated section of a southern French landscape (11:30 a.m., 4 and 6 p.m.); Pandemic, a game based on the premise that four diseases have broken out around the world, and the goal is for the players to work cooperatively to stop the spread of the diseases (3 and 5 p.m.); a Cosplay competition—performance art with participants called cosplayers wearing costumes and fashion accessories to represent a specific character or idea—at 7 p.m. There will also be a free giveaway every hour. In keeping with the international theme of the event, there will be a live video stream from other TableTop Day celebrations around the world, so visitors can see what games are being played in places like China, England, South Africa.
