Description
New York, the city that never sleeps. According to the high and mighty, things were supposed to be different in the Big Apple in 1938. No more poverty. Medicine that works. Shining skyscrapers and subway cars, the new age upon us. Sure. So why am I in the same dingy office, with a cheap desk and a cheaper secretary, paid to find a missing husband somewhere out in the mean streets? Simple job, except my wealthy socialite employer was hiding something. She was a good looker but a bad liar. I grabbed my hat and gun. I slipped a flask into the pocket of my overcoat. I was ready to wade into the cesspool.
Deadline is a film noir co-operative card game for 2-4 players from the team behind Galactic Emperor, Ninjato and Wizards of the Wild in which players as detectives use special abilities and hand management to follow clever clues to solve an original mystery.

- I love when Amazon offers the minimalist packaging option for things usually a lot easier to get whatever I bought
- the Virtual Boy was the Google stadia of its day
- Companies will absolutely use the tariffs as an excuse to sneak in price increases in blame tariffs
- I think that they're very much stuck in this situation where they're like things are going well somehow inexplicably and so let's continue doing it even though there may be some writing on the wall that reducing model count would maybe get more people into the hobby which could then end up being better
- there's no benefit that's the problem with tech these days is that they're like trying to figure out how to it's like they learned how to do a thing and now they're trying to shoehorn it into stuff to make it a product
- If I could get AI to clean the toilet that'd be great
- I think machine learning AI where it's like doing a thing that saves you a whole bunch of time that's what I that's what I want more of that less of the other thing less of the the um what is it the um when you take somebody else's writing plagiarism less of the plagiarism machine and a little bit more of the saving me time machine that'd be great
- the way that you roll can be kind of also modified depending as well and then that'll tell you basically you need a seven Up is basically the case in most situations but there can be modifications and tweaks and things like that
- The the vending Hall was it was a nice space but it wasn't anywhere it was in like a kind of an odd spot and people weren't coming through much cuz they didn't sort of know where it was

- you think GW needs to rescale the amount of models in 40K especially with the focus on competitive events

- I don't know it's a good question I'm glad I don't have to make the decisions over there

Quotes (from this video)
- God, there's a real interesting sort of analog digital tension going on here with some of these early games.
- This is very like board gamey.
- It feels very analog because I'm detached from the online.
- It's it's a digital little, you know, ones and zeros little etched thing on this this motherboard or this cart that is detached from, you know, the master control of, you know, the online social media nonsense.
- It feels very like almost post-apocalyptic, like you've you've dug up this thing and then you have this little like working device and then you like you slap it a couple of times and it like comes alive and it like does a couple of things and then it goes away and then it it feel goes back to the earth.
- There's something about there's a sinisterness to it to that sort of master control type of online thing.
- Like my brain after a session of, you know, one of these things I've talked about, it's in a similar spot to my brain after a board game night.

Quotes (from this video)
- And this is uh Jason and the Argonauts. So, a solo quest with uh silver foiled cards, you know,

- Why why why would you call this Legacy of Mars?
- The legacy is the biggest complaint about this. The calling it a legacy, calling it legacy of Mars, I think is a problem.

- My pick of the week is Jason and the Argonauts, a solo quest.

Quotes (from this video)
- sometimes when we see age restrictions on games it leaves us scratching our heads
- Publishers are trying to avoid certain fees and costs associated with testing for choking hazards and so it's just easier for them to say okay this is for 10 and up and they can forgo those costs
- so is that a consideration when you're thinking about games that might be appropriate or inappropriate for your children not just what they're visually going to see but what they're going to be doing in the game play
- sometimes if I watch a board game review and it's particularly critical in the post of people's comments they'll often say things like thanks for your honesty or this is why I value you as a reviewer you're not afraid to speak the truth
- but is criticism inherently more truthful than a compliment
- I don't review games I never share my opinions on them one way or the other but I do wonder what the psychology is behind that
- I prefer to play games across the table from somebody but that's just not always possible
- remote gaming gives me that opportunity
- Grail games these are games that you really want but they're maybe hard to find out of print quite expensive
- my gril game is necromunda this is the first m game that I ever played I introduced it to some friends in University who were not Gamers but then we all really got into it building our little gangs painting them up and then playing against one another it was a lot of fun but my attachment to the game is primarily sentimental
- there's arguably better Miniatures games out there now I've been told that Dead Zone by Mantic Games is basically an equivalent to necromunda and I'd probably enjoy that but I still for whatever reason one necromunda is that nuts probably a little nuts
