Quotes (from this video)

when he put down his card where it's wet because he oughta be is one so you ought to be he put the card today and like I didn't realize it until the end of it if you put down like you know it's like he's feeling like to the rattle somewhere and then when he returned the car I was like devastated it's you know like the back of the car is tainted sir
yeah so I noticed that some cards have been bent probably by her again like all those social reduction yeah intense game she got really excited but yeah obviously when it's oh my god but when it was my cutter house remember there's another one as well
so the reason why you sleeve the concert yeah it's a reason maybe you take it to a public forum to sleeve that except wing it's a deck game and you've got hundreds and hundreds of them there as was like endemic slippery as well
so I put the 12 player one so it plays more players well now probably not gonna use the 8th one anymore painted yeah do they last otherwise I would say something yeah yeah at the time
oh my god you know I've been guilty I've been guilty once so I played a Arkham Horror board game and I had oh it's not even a real one it was so one of those fake wine from Ikea I put it there on the board and then I just like knocked it over oh so it looks like anywhere on the board lucky it was just the board not pieces nothing
I feel guilty more because it's my sound than at least you know it's just a little drop of water or whatever and my work is filtering away but you know other people skin that I borrow I think I'm really irresponsible
yeah so you have an you have that responsibility feel because you are in games and you know how expensive the game that your borrowing is as opposed to somebody who doesn't play board games and is borrowing a game yeah that's probably mm boy
yes please be careful yes yes a little housekeeping oh yes sometimes do that even with no more what but people that I apply with are really good so they understand then even though there's some that mmm because we play prototype copies of games because the product um they're not perfect they're not really like water resistance or anything like that so I still mentioned it something as prototype it's not water resistant I just like and we know about we need to use this game in pristine condition for our video well can you do it like this under steady they don't understand and they won't be playing again with us yeah now all our friends are good like that yes lucky it probably otherwise a one half regular game play with them you think yeah yeah

Quotes (from this video)

Where we have a telescope style rondel looking to the skies for planets and constellations and stuff, but now we're looking over at the moon and there's grand inquisitors coming for us and there's new characters and things.
Usually you need to mix two colors to see a major object. You need to mix three colors to go and look at the moon.
When you look at the moon, you pick one of the face up one of the bits of the moon with a face up scoring tile. They'll turn face up as the phases change. You get the reward that's printed on this tile. And then you earn the points according to the scoring tile.
The solo mode's been expanded a little bit. It's got some new movement tiles and you use a particular set of movement tiles based on the difficulty you want to play.
And then we get dice and look at the moon.
So, the end game trigger is the deck running out. Just so there's probably like there is a card in the deck.
But, you know, you got to be on board, aren't you? So, it was very weird and I basically haven't played it, but I've been watching just as related to something else. I've watching a series called Dimension 20 and that's been great.
There's so much stuff kind of in various stages of finishing.
I really enjoyed this game. I've kept it like I am having to be I've been saying this for ages now, but I have to be increasingly cutthroat to try and reduce the amount of space my games take up.
The new Cascadia that's coming out, there's a playthrough for that. There's a game called Moon from Mariposa Games um that have previously done the Trailblazer games. This one's called Garage Rock about like having bands in the summer holidays, you know, in 80s America and getting ready for Battle of the Bands.

Quotes (from this video)

I did not enjoy my first play of Echoes of Time.
this is a light tableau building card game.
Flow... it looks gorgeous.
Covenant. Number two on my most anticipated list.
Vlaada Chvátil. Do you know what the last game that Vlaada designed was? ... He's not actually designed a new game and had a new game published for almost 10 years.
It's called Severton.
I have spent the last 15 years of my life telling everybody that Talisman is such a bad game... And with the fifth edition, I've had to sort of eat my words on that.
There just isn't enough time to play all of the games.
IR from Osprey Games. Children of the Sun. Yeah. It is really good.
Druids of Adora, new Stefan Feld game from Alea
There may be some Essen live streams while we're there.
I have written to the publisher to ask for a potential review copy, yeah, but to be fair, I only emailed them yesterday.
Covenant. I completely forgot that was a thing. Started looking at the pictures and and thinking, yeah, I'm down for that.
The The Void Voynich Puzzle. Voynich Yeah. Don't forget go to bed reading the Wikipedia articles about the Voynich manuscript.
Saboteur is the other one which I did know. I saw it on your shelf uh today earlier, but I didn't know much about it. But now you've explained what it is, I'm kind of getting that um like Enid Blyton vibe from it. Yeah. what was it called? The Famous Five. Famous Five. Famous Five. Of that kind of stuff. Yeah. And weirdly, I'm interested. All right. And I've looked at the pictures of that, so yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Saboteur is good.
I'll be demoing, but I'm demoing um uh Revenant um I think twice on the Saturday from 12:00 till 4:00.
Trickerion with the Arcane Arts expansion. I think that's my schedule.
Now, the one game that I am going to be looking at is there's a new game that Mighty Boards have just announced recently called Gods. All right. Which is designed by David Thompson, Trevor Benjamin, and is right up my alley.
And they said, "Well, at least come round and have a look at it." And I'm like, "Yeah, I'll come round and have a look at it." But I've already agreed that I'm going to be doing content on that.
I find it really weird and unusual that and and everybody else does this. I'm the odd one, but all of all of these content creators go to Essen, they go to Gen Con, and they have meetings with publishers where they sit down and they make deals about payment and what videos they're going to Right. That's the worst place to have a meeting.

This is the new way they're doing campaigns.
The core box comes with a three-chapter campaign, and when you buy a campaign, it's just three chapters.
So, it's a much more like, I guess, approachable, you know, campaign.
Questline, which is a card drafting game set in their definitely not D&D universe.
It sounds a little bit like Fantasy Realms.
This is a new standalone board game set in the same world as Isle of Cats
Your expedition to the frozen lands in the north has suddenly become a rescue mission and you must rescue as many penguins as possible before the ice melts.
So, it's an open drafting and penguin placement board game.

Quotes (from this video)

mandala still utterly fantastic
one of the best two player games i've made
it's so so good and repeated plays are not changing that at all
my god is this game fantastic even better than i remembered it
it's got that real novelty factor and that physicality to a party game that does make people remember it
the scoring does feel a bit too tight
