Richard Garriott appeared on a recent episode of Geek & Sundry’s TableTop feature, where he was joined by Jenna Busch, Satine Phoenix, and Wil Wheaton to play a round of Five Tribes.

Five Tribes, just for the record, is a strategy-focused board game (designed by Bruno Cathala) that falls into what is — I gather — called the “worker placement” genre. Players take turns moving workers between villages, markets, oases, and sacred places, to displace the titular five tribes: the Assassins, Elders, Builders, Merchants, and Viziers. The game’s strategy seems to focus as much on accruing resources and whatnot as it does on throwing off the plans of other players.

Sadly, Lord British did not prevail in this particular attempt at empire-building. Alas!
