- You must be ready to battle as the shadow to your right and battle as the free people to your left.
- There are two Middle-earth dice available at the start of the game.
- The six nation dice that sit on the One Ring board have to be unlocked by marking up to and on the dice spaces on the nations alarm tracks.
- And what would a The Lord of the Rings game be without Gollum?

Quotes (from this video)
- Speaking of conflict, I was very conflicted uh about streaming this game because it is a rolling right uh with basically a restaurant menu board that you're playing on that you're not supposed to show anyone else at the table ever the whole time you're playing.
- This game pulled these best with three to four according to the community. 60 to 90 minutes. Uh, of course, will take about three hours. Uh, that's how we do it here.
- If you'd like an a a game, if you'd like to own a game that makes it uh feel like half the game you're in, uh, you know, a college exam, uh, this might be the game for you.
- It's just weird. You're like, filling in boxes, but it's actually pretty rewarding. A nice little dopamine hits and like when it starts comboing off and stuff.

- The Lord of the Rings: The King's Gambit goes live September 29th.
- The limited edition is truly limited to the Kickstarter. That's all we're doing.
- It's my favorite game of ours that we make. Although King's Gambit might take that over.
- You bought the game. You play it however you want.
- My favorite Steven story about this project is uh we were trying to get prototypes ready for Gen Con. And we wanted them to look, you know, good. And so, we were going to 3D print all the miniatures cuz we had again done all that legwork ahead of time. They'd been approved for the prototype for Gen Con and all this. But we had to get them done. So, we were looking at like an outside service and Steven says, 'For the money that it would cost us to get this printed by an outside service for like we were getting like six prototype copies, we can buy three sort of top-end Bamboo Home 3D printers and I'll just do it.' So, that's what we did. And he had he converted his like half of his office into this 3D server farm and he took some video and it's like it was they were running like 24/7 spitting out these miniatures. It was crazy.

Quotes (from this video)
- But it's not really a game. Like I had a lot of fun playing it, but if I'm ranking the best games that we played in August, I don't really feel like it's so much of a game as a fun time activity where people yell.
- The gimmick is that you are on your left side kind of fighting your left player. So, your free peoples is fighting their shadow side. And on the right, your shadow is fighting the player on your right's free people side in like little kind of mini games.
- It's really really good and I actually had it as my my first and you had it as your second
- No, I think it's really amazing game. Incredibly well produced as well. I really like the components. They're nice and chunky and good artwork and yeah, it's really great.

I want that. Where'd you get that?

- it's being sort of talked about like the Splendor killer.
- This is really gorgeous art. It looks really thoughtful, really um really beautifully crafted um with a similar sort of Splender style gameplay.
- you can't talk to each other about the cards you have.
- Specific player count games, are always very interesting to me because it's a big swing for a publisher to publish a threeplayeron game is a risk.
- Phantom Inc., full disclosure, is a game that I did work on. Uh, it is my favorite of the team-based party word games. I think it is a phenomenal game.
- So, it's a really neat push your luck game. What the really cool twist is if you have an odd number of fruit in your hand up to five, you can you must sell all of them.
- It's got dinos, so I think it's going to be a really good seller uh for um I think it's three three WS games.
- I have I have everything wingspan and it's too much. It's objectively too much.
- Hard. Not interested. Three boxes to play one game. No.
- Michelle and I have played Ma Jong every night for the last two weeks. It's been incredible.
- it's a meaningful game beyond just a surface level, right? So, it's very cool to see younger generations getting back into it to keep that tradition alive.

- So, as you can see way far down there, it keeps going and going on forever.
- All the new Arkham Horror scenario being played. Very nice. Very nice.
- People also just sitting around resting. It is Sunday so less people are in here.
- So, yeah, this is like the Asthma area as you can see from the little Asay hidden room there. Uh, people are playing games. That's all that's happening in here pretty much.
- Look at this stuff. Going to walk down this little this little row here. No one's around, so I can kind of get close up to some of these terrain setups that look better than anything I could ever put together.
- The con closes in like 2 and 1 half hours. So there's less people in here right now.
- So, pro tip, uh that that one was given to me by Janet uh shout out to Janet uh from our community for passing that one on to us a few years back.
- It's one of those things. Sometimes it happens at the con where like Thursday and Friday, no one cares about a certain game or a certain publisher and then by the end word gets out and then everyone needs to try it before they leave.
- So they did not sell as many as they thought, but I've never seen giant pallets of games in the exhibit hall just sitting on the floor before.
- The Emperor's Promise.
- It's like a tradition to see that here at the con. I don't know how old that thing is, but when I see them lugging CRT monitors, I kind of think it's old. But uh still here. People still come and do it.

- Dice allocation — I believe this is a dice allocation game. So, rolling dice and then using them to do actions and powers and things like that.
- Victory Points — But, it is a victory point scoring game. So, it's not necessarily knock the other player out and be last person standing. But, doing doing certain things will give you points and you want to have the most points at the end of the game.

Quotes (from this video)
- All right. Number four, we've got Cano from Mad to Go for two to four players. Takes about 30 minutes to play. I like games about art and this one has that creating Japanese painted scrolls in the game.
- but the art is what sort of really drew me in.
- you're trying to make patterns when you put them on your board to lay tiles. It did look interesting.
- I have Night at the Zoo. This is another tiling game. I love laying tiles.
- really interesting it's designed The designer is the same person who did Sagrada and Aquatica, which are heavy Euro games, but this is a lighter tiling game.
- I thought it was a fun theme.
- So, I'm anticipating Pulitzer from 25th Century Games, and this is an investigative journalist themed game. I was a journalism major in college, so I'm always interested in these themed games.
- With strings that you're I don't know exactly how it all it but it just looks really cool and interesting being able to put your strings from the different pieces of evidence you've found. tactile
- So, if nothing else, the theme and the components have definitely made me interested in this game.
- We've got Lord of the Rings: Circle of Conflict. I should say right off the start, it says this is an Essen release, but I believe they might have a limited copies available at Gen Con, so I'm going to call this a pre-Gen Con pre-release at Gen Con.
- My understanding is you're playing against your two neighbors, the players to your left and right. So, each person has a shadow troops and the free peoples army. And so, your shadow troops are playing against your neighbors free people, and your free people is playing against your other neighbors shadow troops.
- I believe this is a dice allocation game. So, rolling dice and then using them to do actions and powers and things like that.
- Lord of the Rings theme, which is a theme that we really enjoy.

You're taking the role of like the good and the bad in this game to uh go on against the opposite on the right and the opposite on the left and I think there's a lot of interactions that go on, a lot of communication that will have to happen around the table to make sure that the turns are flowing.
