Quotes (from this video)
  • Strange World Above the Clouds because who doesn't love a cuddle monster?
  • Temple Code because I was terrible at it and I decided I need to do something about it because I was really embarrassed to play it with other people.
  • hydrate, bring a bottle of water, refill it.
  • don't put a lot of pressure on yourself to try and play all of the games. It is impossible.
  • It's the people, right, that make the show somehow
  • this whole hobby is about the people we play the games with rather than just the games.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
  • collision and blocking rules — if a move would end on a space occupied by an opponent’s piece, the player hops over to the next available space; hopped-over pieces are sent backward
  • control of five pieces per color — each player controls five pieces of the same color from setup; the pieces are moved to the opposite side and back
  • hopping and sending pieces backward — if a move would hop over opponent pieces, you end on the next empty space and all hopped-over pieces are sent backward
  • movement distance based on starting dots — on a turn, a player moves one of their pieces forward by a number of spaces equal to the dots on the piece's starting space
  • Physical Removal — once a piece has moved to the opposite side and back, it is removed; removing four pieces wins the game
  • removal after a full back-and-forth cycle — once a piece has moved to the opposite side and back, it is removed; removing four pieces wins the game
  • turnaround space and reduced movement — when a piece reaches the end of a row, it is turned around and from then on moves one space at a time
