so I'm here with Nathan average
so apex is a Midway euro it's a worker placement engine builder and the general synopsis is all players are ape scientists so think Planet of the Apes but on like an alien worlds are all intelligent and they're all fighting or competing for the facilities scientific grounds so it's a bit of a point salad so what's a way to score points and whoever's the most points after the seven rounds will get that grant and win
the core mechanic of the game is that each player has four different workers so you could reel is a good at collecting resources orangutangs to abilities baboons collect actually by the experiments to bring back to your lab monkeys in the general facility so you have to try and manage the different workers to win everything
also that you gain in the facility comes back to your lab so your engine building so you get experiments which are additional worker petitions chemicals give you resources at the start of each rounds lab upgrades make things cost less and bananas affect your workers in different ways
so everybody last point salad games and you the games also has some my favorite mechanisms so that sounds really good
we can't wait for that so this is your first game no so a few months ago we just launched and funded on kickstarter were supremacy which is just a kind of a take that card game so king of the hill a bit like smash up it's really good so we can also check out your game it's already out
it's still in development sorry for apex it's just all all placeholder at the moment sounds good so can't wait to have a look FBI pegs from Kickstarter and that's Nathan Everett

Quotes (from this video)

This is now game three in the Limits of Glory system, which explores Napoleonic campaigns with some unique fresh mechanics.
Glory represents a combination of a leader skill and historical luck and is expended by leaders throughout the game to influence a wide range of actions.
The creativity and freshness of the mechanics in the system has great appeal.
As such, I'll give this set an identical three and a half out of 10 on the complexity scale.
The event clock uses a dice-based system to sequence events in roughly a historical order, but one that can play out differently in each game.
The game starts with a marker that's going to go here on the one die marker and then each turn starts with a roll for an event.
This is a very clever way again to spawn variety in every playthrough and at the same time trigger events in a logical fashion.
