- By all accounts, CMON backing out of this NFT investment, given how much uproar there was when it happened, by all accounts, this is the right move. But even this makes it seem like it's a ship without its rudder. Makes it feel like they don't really have a direction.
- Everything he says is completely on point except for one major issue. I personally prefer a sleeved deck of cards.
- Magic the Gathering, it's on the upswing, which is fascinating cuz this whole universe is beyond thing.
- The problem is, I'm not their target audience. I used to love Magic, don't play Magic anymore. They're not losing me as a customer. I wasn't a customer anyway.
- It's so weird. My relationship with CMON is weird.
- Should you sleeve your cards? Not necessarily, but I do think it's a good read. I think his logic holds up. It just depends on why you sleeve your cards.

- This is a trick taking game where you as players are going to try to bid on taking the right number of tricks based on the cards in your hand. But here's the twist, y'all. You don't know other than the colors the rank
- So, the the expansion is a brand new board or you can play on the base board the new faction and then like you said, everybody gets wooden ships.
- The boats that were used for sailing are then used to establish a settlement on the other side.
- If you lose, you don't lose one of your settlements. That is good. That is a good thing.
- So, it's I hate to say, you know, I mixed feelings on that, Marty, to be honest with you. Do I Did I like the new board? Yeah, but I You know where I'm I know it's I'm I'm chewing on my words here, but I It didn't grab me like I thought the new board would, but I appreciate having the boats.
- It's not a cheap expansion and you must have the base game to use this expansion because all your faction bits and other cards, market cards come from the base game.
- This is a very challenging trick-taking game because from a standpoint of getting someone to go set or trying to short suit someone or all the rules that that are in your brain from trick taking this is more difficult because once again not knowing the rank is going to be you may say okay I think I'm not going to take this trick and everybody who played suddenly is now below you and you're like oh man I got this trick and you're like I didn't this card was I went on the low end. Haha. It was the second highest one in the suit. So, you really don't know.
- I'm not a big fan of not knowing the rank of cards, but this one was so generic on difficulty. I didn't have a problem with it. Now, would I play this over a basic deck of Opa? It'd be tough for me to get on the table with my gaming group.
- Yeah, I I was going to say it's like a mid-tier trick taking game. Uh, for me it I enjoy the twist and I appreciate playing it for the twist, but if I had my plethora of trick uh taking games in the drawer and I open it up and this one's in there, I would probably reach for something else first.
- You could. If you had gone prior to Mother's Day, you could have gotten a 15% off discount. And I'm sure they're going to run. I think I know. And I'm sure for Father's Day, there's going to be a similar discount. and a back to school discount. But why would you use just 15%? Well, if you do, I know a place that you can use a very special code called RDTN. That'll get you 30% off anything over at the EWIN website.
- So, the new um Territory Freeze. which, you know, it's been a while since I watched the first one, but if I remember correctly, territory freeze. You can, if you win three in a row, you can freeze the territory you're in, and no one can come battle you until everyone has battled. Is that correct? Do I remember that card?
- The news we were talking about with Game Toppers actually dropped. Game Toppers is partnering with Asmo Day to come out with the line of Middleear products. This includes mats and tables and we are super excited about it.
- Guild Wars one on mobile. I just do not see him playing on my Pixel. Even with the Switch though, I mean, is handheld control. Could you Well, I mean, they have controller support.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)

- Busting — You bust if you draw a card and all players, including you, have a card of that color face-up in front of them, or if you attempt to bank and roll a number that matches one of your face-up cards.
- Card drawing — You'll pick up a card from the deck and place it face up in front of yourself. Every player's face up card should be visible to all players.
- Dice Rolling — Here, you'll roll the die and attempt to move the face-up cards in front of you into a face-down pile of cards, which are your banked cards.
- Push Your Luck — You'll be pushing your luck to build up valuable collections of cards before banking them for points. Every turn, you'll decide whether to draw another card and tempt fate, roll the dice to bank what you've collected, or chase a Sky 5 by collecting all five colors.
- Set Collection — The card's color is where things get interesting. If you draw a card and you do not have a face up card that matches the color of the card you drew, that's great. You must keep the card face up in front of you.
