  • Hey, I'm Alex Rack from Board Game Co.
  • And this is News and Weekend Review, where we go over a variety of news pieces, the videos of the week, the games I've played, the uh games we've covered, all of that and more.
  • So, if you want to see the games I'm excited about at Origins Game Fair, we'll be figuring that out together.
  • I say it together because I haven't actually done any research on this.
  • I am fighting against a cat meowing in the background.
  • What's the person to do?
  • Everyone has the thing that works for them.
  • Now that we've learned way too much about what I do to deal with headaches, let's go ahead and talk about the news and weekend review.
  • The biggest thing is sail south for the Isle of Penguins.
  • I am very excited for this one.
  • Anything for new for Harmonies I am intrigued and excited for.
  • Harmony is a fantastic game.
  • I like the art. I like the art. I like the style.
  • It doesn't tell me a lot about the actual gameplay.
  • So, I I am intrigued to see how that's actually going to play out, but it's going to come with new protected area boards,
