Description
The Inertia Corporation is coming, after your crew discovered something about them you shouldn’t have. Now you must survive the onslaught surrounding you. Gun It is a timed cooperative game in which 1-4 players are packed together in a car in the middle of a thriller. Over a series of rounds, the crew must collaborate to shoot their way through a hostile array of cars, trucks, motorcycles, and more. Each round, players will have limited time to exchange cards determining who shoots and drives where, when, and with which equipment. Once time runs out, the action begins! But plan wisely, as vehicles explode, often causing collateral damage and chains of vehicle destruction that come back to blow up in your face. Survive long enough to achieve your current scenario in style! Each scenario has a victory condition with multiple levels of success. Each may require you to earn XP, create pileups, or eliminate rivals. If the crew ends in a wreck or you fail to complete the minimum victory condition, the game ends in failure! —description from the designer

Quotes (from this video)
- It is disrespectful of me to do something with my evenings.
- There is a special circle of hell for people who show up to a graduation with an air horn.
- I really appreciate El Paso, you know, taking pretty much that same experience but distilling it down to the essential moves and it's a quick I don't know how long it took us. Less than an hour.
- It's really hard and it can be really swingy.
- You don't always have to teach a new game. Sometimes it's good to go back to something you know people like.
- It is hard to teach because of the exact thing that I watched Don's face get confused about when you say you're in my garden. I'm in your garden.
- It is chesslike in that you just try to optimize your moves over everybody else's moves.
- It's a heavier game than I usually like, but I just think it's really clever the way it's put together.
- The timer fits the theme in this game. You're driving 50 miles an hour in traffic trying to fight off bad guys.
- Definite Spy Hunter vibes from this game.
- The dice represent nature, which screws up your whole plan for that magic.
- If you're going to play Twilight Imperium, you need to drink water, hydrate or not play.
- And so Gunnet is a game that was sent us specifically reached out to me, asked me if we wanted to cover and they were interested in us covering it on this podcast, which is a first first time.
- The core of the game is having the discussion of, okay, well, I'm going to give you this because you're going to act first and the first thing that's going to happen is we're going to drive the car to the left one space and then you're going to shoot.
- I usually don't like a game with a timer, but you know, the timer fits the theme in this game. You're driving 50 miles an hour in traffic trying to fight off bad guys.
- For a game that's seems like it's about making you feel stressed out for a brief moment and then that stress turns into moments of joy and glory. Like I think it accomplished that more often than it didn't.
- The other game is Rollin One, uh, which is a golf game. Again, small footprint. It's a small box.
- You take turns designing the course. So you take a number of cards that represent parts of the the you know the golf course and you put them together.
- The golf clubs are represented by dice. So there's a d20, d12, d10 and so on.
- And so there's actually some serious strategy to picking your club.
- I thought it was very clever and I think both of the games are pretty darn thematic.
- Make sure you are in the mood for the thing that you're going to partake.
