But but that's what makes it fun. Yes, it does.
It was so much fun. We played at BGG Spring where they they featured all the Spar nominees and it was a fun game.
But the thing with that one, this lady here cannot draw.
And she said, "Oh, that's a a bouquet."
A bouquet of what? Okay. So, the thing with that particular game, you have a board with a bunch of dots on it, and you got to draw whatever your card tells you within the parameters of the dots.
It was really weird what she made. It was really weird. Oh, it's ask Oh. Oh. Oh. So, it was really, really weird. Very weird.
All right. So, let's see. What's What's our first question?
How's the move going? Are you moving to a bigger place?
Uh, the move is going. We're almost done. Yes, we're moving to a bigger place.
And like I said, you know, Blaine, we I've measured everything. I've measured my head too, my body. I've measured everything cuz it's a bigger place. And that means Staller's going to spend a lot more money trying to fill that place cuz she is looking at we even looking at Wayfair and some coming from Wayfair already.
Wayfair. You've got just what I need.
Moving is not cheap. It's not fun.
Not fun. and and but I think you know once we get settled we'll be happy. But the main thing is I can get the games away from my living space.
They can get out the games y'all. They can get out of the closets. They can get away from the living room, dining room. Just get them out of I told Mick no games upstairs. Not one.
They can stay downstairs in the game.

As you were packing your games to move, did you als uh did you also do a culling of games at the same time?
Well, here's the deal. I I have a book. Well, every box has been numbered. Every bo every box is numbered from one to I think one to 56.
And in each box, I I did like a list. I wrote down what was in the box. And some of those uh games on the list in the in the tablet got a star. It's not a good star. It's not a good star.
Yeah. We We'll see if they finally get out. It's not a good star, but yeah. No. Yeah, we we'll see.
It's not a good star, y'all. That star might be goodbye.
Goodbye. So, that star Goodbye.
Some of them couldn't even fit in boxes like the Gloom Havens.
Yeah. Some of them couldn't even fit.
It just you just got to take them over cuz it's just they were just too like, you know, the uh Everdale uh the Everddale uh you know, coffin. Yes. You know, we had to take that over there.
Yeah. Just because it take up too much space in the box, you know, can't get over there. You know, we had to do that one.
Has Mick watched any Hallmark movies to celebrate Christmas in July?
No Ed I don't do that Ed. But the one thing in July they let you know all the TV stations Lifetime BET you know Hallmark they let you know what what shows are getting ready for Christmas.

co-op We don't have many co-ops in our collection. We don't have P pandemic. Pandemic is not in our collection.
We have several semi-ooperative games though.
We don't have no semiarpet. We don't have no semi-cooperative games.
Semi-ooperative games.
We don't have we don't have no semicoop. But we don't have pandemic. We only got one welcome to, you know, the big ones. Those are the big kinds that everybody floats to. We don't. We just have one.

Co-op is when people are working together against the game. Against the game. Yes. Semicoop is when people make their own decisions and then they collaborate with some of their other opponents or teammates in order to win the game, but you're able to make your own decisions.
Who runs the world? Girls. That's right, Matthew Rose. Who? The Barbie world. Girls. It's Yes, Barbie world.

Ink and Gold

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)

Push Your Luck — one player is sort of the expedition leader each turn, each round, and they are going to say how many cards they think they can flip from the deck to go into the cave and not have a cave in. Uh, and other players are going to decide whether they are in or out.
Risk Assessment — As soon as you get value of three cave-ins, your expedition fails. And so when you're flipping out cards, your your expedition if if it succeeds, then everybody who said in gets to split the loot, but if it if it fails, then everybody said they were out, they get the loot.
Take That — You can even do things to mess up other people in the game. Like for instance, I said six, I'm on my fifth card. All we have to do is flip one more card and then the expedition succeeds. But this person over here voted out and they're like, 'Play a card down that says flip two extra cards.' Oh, no. I wasn't I didn't think we could do eight, you know, and and so it's fun. It's fun in that way.

Hand Management — Players have action cards and starting cards that can be played to influence the game, such as forcing more draws or canceling actions.
Push Your Luck — Players flip cards from a deck, trying to collect treasure without flipping too many 'cave-in' cards, which cause a bust. The risk increases as more cards are drawn.
Role selection — One player is designated the 'cave leader' each round, deciding how deep to explore and announcing it. The role then passes to the next player.
Set Collection — Goat and goblin cards are collected, with scoring based on having an odd number of goats (worth 3) or an even number of goblins (worth 3). Otherwise, they are worth 2.
Take That — Action cards allow players to force opponents to draw more cards (increasing their risk of a cave-in) or to take goat and goblin cards which have scoring conditions based on quantity.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)

cancellation_and_special_abilities — Some cards provide cancellation or mitigation (e.g., Warding Stone) to blunt effects or reverse particular actions, adding a defensive layer to the otherwise aggressive push-your-luck system.

deck_management — A combined deck built from cave-in cards and other special cards is shuffled and used to drive round flow, with players drawing and holding cards that influence future turns.
Hand Management — Rounds include taking and distributing cards to players, with some actions forcing you to push more cards onto others or draw additional cards to shape outcomes.
point_scoring_with_asset_types — Goats, goblins and coins form the scoring economy; goats can be worth points and goblins interact with odd/even counts to alter totals, producing variability and endgame tension.
Push Your Luck — Players secretly decide to go in or out of a cave; the deeper they go, the greater the potential reward, but the higher the risk of cave-ins or punitive card effects.
push-your-luck — Players secretly decide to go in or out of a cave; the deeper they go, the greater the potential reward, but the higher the risk of cave-ins or punitive card effects.
