Description
Lignum is a game about the logging industry in the 19th century. As a woodcutter, your task is to prevail against your competitors and collect the most money after two years. Lignum (Latin for "wood") is a game for lovers of complex strategy games. After cutting and transporting your wood, don't think your job is finished. You'll still have to optimize your entire processing chain - and have fun doing it!
Each of the eight rounds always begins with the cutting of trees. If your supply lines are set up and the timber has been approved for felling, then the players claim an area using secretly selected cards. Since each of the areas contain differing amounts of food and wood, players must learn to recognize and adapt to their opponent's strategies because if two players are both in the same area, they must share the resources. Players continue to move along their supply route, using the marketplace to trade tools and food as well as recruit workers.
The players have to decide how their wood will be transported to their lumberyards (by raft, by foot, or in the winter by sled), if the wood should be dried or be processed immediately, and when the wood should be sold. The player must also think about new acquisitions (such as saws, sleds and pasture land) and fulfill orders to sell the wood. Because in the end, this business is all about money, and whoever can make the most wins.

- it's Dominoes Ah
- based on reviewing the Wikipedia for dominoes um that doesn't that seem that year seems wrong. That seems way late.
- but anything that is like a Domino's game we would recognize doesn't occur until the very end of the 18th or beginning of the 19th century.
- and tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m., we're finishing up with Antiquity, which is pictured behind Ken's head over there.
- Of our 402 games, only 13 are published before 1990.
- So you got Spirit Island, you got Lizboa, you got Quest for Elorado, and 22 other games that are on one person's list.
- 2019, PAX Premiere, Crystal Palace, and 24 other games.
- 2015, Gallerist, Trickarion, Food Chain Magnate, 16 other games.

- Age of steam. Age of steam, right? Yeah. Yeah. Obviously, right. Yeah.
- Like trying to narrow it down is a hard thing when you when you have maybe the newer you are, the less hard that is.
- there's going to be another one tomorrow where we go through tutorial number four of Atlantic Chase.
- I might have a latest greatest version of Crossrox. I'm so excited about this game after hearing you guys talk about it.

Quotes (from this video)
- So, we're going super cash today.
- We are going to see.
- So, you get that back this way.
- All right. So, uh, Robert came up with a cool little trick.
- So, mine is slowly ticking down to below 20 seconds and it should be similar for you all if you want.
- So, my delay for what I'm looking at here is about 15 seconds.
- So, we're not going to do anything like no top down cameras.
- And before I did, I wanted to kind of clean up the table this way when I come back.
- So, we've been running tests for the last couple hours, me and the patrons, but I was like, 'Hey, why don't I just go live?'
- Happy Thanksgiving, everybody.
- So many pixels.
- So, T-Ball says, 'I've always found it difficult to tell the difference between 2K and 4K.'
- It's about 2K difference.
- And it is it is a massive undertaking to be able to stream at 4K, especially with six cameras.
- So, here's my question for y'all watching.
- So, thanks for being my little lab rats.
- But also in the end it benefits y'all.
- Okay. All right.
- So, I will certainly send Jess uh everyone's best.
- T-ball says, 'The recent stream of Aegis Steam looked fantastic.'
- So, I thought so, but however, uh there uh I had a viewer point out the fact that even if I'm able to stream at 2K or 4K, which obviously I can, not everybody can receive it in that.
- So, therefore, they still I I'm still going to make use of the PTZ cams.
- So, Diffy brings up a really good point.
- Also, the the difference between 4K and 2K is much smaller.
- Diminishing returns, right?
- So, if you drop down from 4K to 2K, you notice a difference, but it's pretty minimal.
- Where you're really going to notice the difference, and again, I didn't turn on the overhead cuz that's not what today is about.
- So, the biggest difference in my testing is going from 720 to 1080.
- That is the most significant difference.
- That jump up.
- Then the jump up from 1080 to to 2K is noticeable but not dramatic.
- And same from 2K to 4K.
- Noticeable but not absolutely dramatic.
- So, on my end, just to kind of since this is kind of a test slash, you know, kind of how the sausage is made to some degree for the public.
- So, I've worked hard to get it that way.
- But my point is if on your end you're able to see how many drop frames and how stable your connection is.
- So for instance, I am broadcasting on the main new super high-end computer that we built here for the studio.
- What I am watching it on is on the old PC which there's a reason it got replaced.
- So, Just again trying to give context.
- Plus you all get to play around and look at some of the numbers that we've been messing not messing with but um using to troubleshoot.
- So, Salt Pestian said, 'I think it's awesome you can stream in 4K, but I also hope this doesn't mean you're always going to be zoomed out.'
- It doesn't.
- Still going to use the PTZs.
- I got them for a reason.
- Don't worry about that.
- So, rest assured the like nothing negative.
- The goal of this is only to continue to evolve and and get better and everything you're used to is going to continue.
- It's just a matter of upping the quality.
- So, the PTZs and all that stuff, uh, those are going to be in use.
- Uh, we currently have two.
- I am working I'm using one of them on most streams.
- I will eventually integrate the second one as well.
- It's a process and it it it requires more up here for me.
- So, I'm I'm gradually working my way up to that.
- But don't worry the the zooming in and the PTZs and all that stuff that is still going to live.
- So, rest assured on that.
- So, Bob says, 'Even at 4K, assuming I'm actually getting 4K, I couldn't read that, but it's close.'
- So, all right.
- But that's the difference.
- That's really what it's going to come into where where things are going to come into play a little bit more.
- This would be a little bit easier.
- Like you can pretty easily read those numbers I reckon at 4K, right?
- So, so yeah, that's that's all we're working on is because we focus on medium and heavy strategy games here at Heavy Cardboard, upping the quality is going to allow y'all that are capable of being able to receive the 4K is you're just going to be able to see and read things better and it's just going to make for that much better of a presentation.
- So it that that's all it is.
- It's just prettier and easier and and more user friendly in that regard.
- That's all.
- That's all it is really.
- Well, the reason 1080 is going to be crisper than it was in the in the old studio is um
- A lot of money went into these cameras.
- That's why the cameras have been upgraded.
- Cameras and lenses.
- So, that's how this looks, right?
- So, um, Diffy says, 'The only problem is going back to the old streams.'
- I get it and we're aware of that.
- And so, what that means is we're going to revisit games.
- I mean, I don't know, three, four streams a week.
- Do the math.
- As always, we're going to mix and match old with new.
- Like Friday, we're doing Sweet Lands.
- That I I would categorize that in the new category.
- Uh, last night we did Power Grid.
- That'd be in the old category.
- So, yeah, I think y'all can rest assured that it's going to be a a a really good mix.
- I I feel very comfortable with where we're at in general on the streams with the mixing of old and new.
- So, it seems that nobody is having here.
- Let let's just pause the the the chat for a moment here.
- And for anybody that's having any kind of issues, like chime in, speak up, let me know what they are.
- But it seems as of now everything's going pretty all right for y'all.
- That's awesome.
- Obviously, I didn't turn on any of the lights behind me other than the uh Ow, don't do that.
- The Edison bulbs.
- I think those fill that space pretty well.
- Don't mind the box over here on the edge of the table here.
- But well, that that's encouraging.
- I like that.
- The lighter says everything looks and sounds perfect.
- The sound is so good.
- So good.
- I appreciate that. Thank you.
- Um, the everything has been a it's been it's been a lot, but so it's good to hear that the work's paying off.
- I'm glad to hear that.
- Max says, 'I'm pretty ecstatic for you, Edward. Really deserve this. Best board game content creator, hands down.'
- I appreciate it.
- Now, now if we can just get the numbers bigger, that'd be awesome.
- That'd be cool.
- But I think that'll come in time.
- Uh, the quality, I think, is is there.
- So, I think we'll get there.
- I appreciate that though, Zack.
- Did I say Zack?
- Really Max?
- My bad.
- Thank you, Rob. I appreciate that.
- By the way, Rob is in work with new merch uh for for Heavy Cardboard.
- So, that that is going to be coming.
- Uh, hopefully by the end of the year we'll have something for y'all.
- Um, and that'll be a constantly evolving process of what's available and that.
- So, the salt pest say other than having to swap a new stream link at the start of every stream everything looks great.
- Well, that's what today's troubleshooting uh behind the scenes was.
- And I think we finally eliminated or found the culprits.
- There are potentially six six gotcha points in the process of setting up and starting streams that can cause issues.
- And I think I've caught all of them.
- Knock on wood.
- I think so.
- It's now a much more involved process to stream honestly.
- But once the stream is actually going, uh, today was kind of a a test to see, hey, is this going to work?
- Um, and and so yeah, so far so good.
- All right, John. Maybe maybe it's a New England thing.
- So the glory to Rome board, it exists over there.
- It's too big for the shelves.
- So the previous shelf didn't had a didn't have a lid lid or other shelves on top of it.
- So uh Greg is aware of this.
- He is the creator of the Glory to Rome board.
- And so he he has the dimensions and it will it will make an appearance when it's ready.
- Okay.
- That's crazy.
- Okay, that's a little disturbing.
- Ian says 4K has so many pixels I can zoom in on my phone and read the monitor and the reflection in your glasses.
- I might have to start wearing different glasses.
- Chip says, 'Part of me wants to say 'relax, it's good enough.'
- Then I watch other streamers with the shadows, the bad sound, the player boards that are always offscreen.
- I realize I've been spoiled.'
- I You know what? I will not disparage any other content creator, period. The end.
- Um, you know what? It's a lot of work doing this.
- And I I am happy for other people to be in the the content creation space.
- You know what? It's a lot of work.
- I get it.
- So if if somebody wants to put in the effort, regardless of who that may be,
- Hey NB, I I've seen your messages.
- Now that now that I'm getting the the the studio squared away, uh, I'll be reaching out to Rachel.
- So, thank you.
- Um, I'm hoping and I I'm not trying to put you on the spot, but I'm going Whenever somebody says, 'I don't mean to.'
- Yeah, they do.
- That's exactly what they're about to do.
- They're about to do the thing they say they don't mean to do.
- So, I'm not going to lie to you, NB.
- I'm going to totally put you on the spot.
- Uh, here at the table, we have we have we have six chairs and off camera at the end of the table.
- I'm just saying there's a there's a chair with your name on it.
- If you want to come up and when we stream, I would love to have you in the studio for that.
- Just throwing that out there.
- By the way, uh, non-breaking space, NB, um, designer of Cross Bronx Expressway and a number of other upcoming games.
- Isn't it nice to have a real challenge to make you feel real satisfaction?
- Didn't need to be that big a challenge, though, Chip.
- I'm just saying.
- I will take care of that salt.
- Thank you.
- Martin says, 'The Glory to Rome board suffering from exhaustion due to all the glory to Romes Edward uttered during setting up the new studio.'
- So the patrons saw a lot of the uh a lot of the behind the scenes on a near not exact but near daily basis.
- The amount of this that this process has had has been enormous.
- At some point it'll be funny.
- It's not there yet.
- Little fresh.
- NB says let's do it in December.
- You name it, dude.
- It's on.
- Awesome.
- I'm here for it.
- Yeah.
- Oh, Max, it's your chair when NB is not here.
- Oh, this feels good.
- All right.
- So, while we're while we're chitchatting, I'm actually going to do the thing that I was going to do here, which is try and clean this up.
- But feel free chat chat away.
- Uh, I am excited at that prospect.
- MB, I would love to have you here in studio.
- That'd be awesome.
- So yeah, just cleaning up Power Grid from last night.
- By the way, how many of y'all have watched last night's stream of Power Grid?
- I thought that was that was pretty epic.
- The the turnaround and the just the the the way the game played out and everything.
- Pretty awesome.
- I was very pleased at how that turned out.
- Let's put it that way.
- Uh, Ian says, 'We focus on the studio side, but are you feeling settled into your new home?'
- No.
- The priority has been to get this space ready.
- And it's still not finished.
- There's a lot of stuff that you guys will never see, like tying up some of the cables that are up through here and a little bit of just refinement.
- But there's still a fair bit up and around and with the background and all that that I want to finish.
- But the focus has been getting this space ready.
- And now that this space is ready, I'm going to be able to do things in the rest of the of the studio here that will make it way more way more comfortable.
- Um, it's just not there yet.
- But that's okay.
- The priority is here.
- And doing I mean this week we're only streaming twice tonight not with or today notwithstanding cuz this is kind of a really informal thing but last night's Power Grid and Friday's Sweet Lands like this weekend I don't really have a whole lot going on.
- Now if we have a game day during the day on Saturday cool but if we don't the entire weekend is going to be spent trying to organize this place a little bit and it's going to take more than a weekend.
- But yeah, that'll that'll certainly help get settled, get me settled.
- And the other thing, if you're not a patron, you don't really know about this, but up there is a whole second studio we're setting up.
- And by we, I mean me, and I guess Lincoln watches me set it up.
- But that is going to be where we do these things.
- There's not going to be a lot of that down here because this is cool.
- Don't get me wrong.
- I it's comfortable.
- I'm in a comfortable chair.
- I think the background's all right and the camera is great, but I want to be a little bit more intimate whenever we do Ask the Elephants or top 10s or whatever stuff.
- So, I'm going to be doing all that in the other studio.
- I still got to come up with a good name for the the talking studio.
- But that is basically whenever I don't need the overheads and everything.
- I'm going to do stuff up there with it.
- But as it is right now, that's still a work in progress, but it's there.
- The background's there.
- The chair is there.
- The the monitor.
- Um, I still got to go buy a new laptop to be able to do it, but we're not far from being able to do that.
- So, uh, definitely I'm thinking by the by the new year we should be doing the second be able to have the second studio.
- And once that's done, um, that tells me this whole place is just about settled.
- So, by the end of the year should be golden.
- I appreciate you asking.
- The end that was really nice.
- Yeah. Oh, Max, it's your chair when NB is not here.
- All right. So, while we're while we're chitchatting, I'm actually going to do the thing that I was going to do here, which is try and clean this up.
- Yeah. Oh, Max, it's your chair when
- I generally think that I tend to lean more towards Oath than Arcs as far as at least with arcs in the campaign game. That's not my favorite way to play the game because I think it's a little too Calvin ball as Kyle says for the third chapter and it's just the rules get in the way too much.
- But even then, Oath isn't my favorite go-to. But I like them both quite a bit.
- But I think I lean a little bit more towards Oath than Arcs.
- So, um, historically games are streamed on heavy cardboard one of three ways. Edward wants to stream it, that's one. One of the loco group wants to stream it too. or paid sponsored uh streams by the publishers. That's three. Now, patrons also get a say in this as well.
- And that is 1817.
- So they they legitimately just straight up said, "Hey, can I go ahead and pay to get a a game streamed and the idea like had been floated in my head previously to allow something like that like non-publishers to be able to, hey, I really want this older game or this other game that you haven't streamed or to reream or whatever and to make it a priority."
- Have I played Twilight Imperium? We have. We have not done it on the channel though.
- Could we stream Twilight Imperium? It's not a priority at this moment, but yes, that is something that we could possibly do.
- So, hey, 4K is doable, y'all. Uh, I didn't hear, outside of the delay, I didn't hear any issues from y'all as far as any negative results with a higher bit rate, which is really, really exciting.
- We're going to be playing Sweetlands. I'm looking forward to that.
- My goal is to get it as good as anything else that you're going to hear, whether it's in the board game content space or outside of it.
