Quotes (from this video)
- ooh that looks tasty welcome folks to the hungry gamer
- is back with the first video of the 2024 BH the board game dog game of the year tournament competition
- and some people who watched the first video weren't aware that Harrow county has added a prize to the pool as had an all in aridia
- so here is the bracket and two things I'll say one I accidentally managed to leave off one game right here I know what game it is that got left off and up against deep shelf
- so deep shelf's just going to get a buy to the next round for anybody who left it blank on their form or I don't know wrote something else in I'm just going to adjust it on their form to deep shelf so you won't get a penalty
- the other thing I'm going to do is today I'm doing all the playin rounds meaning all of these along the far edge of the bracket
- and anybody who still wants to enter I'm going to leave this open for another day or two after this video posts if you would still like to enter you can make sure you put the games in that already won I guess and I'll just start your scoring from the next round
- so some bonus points if you were already in that feels fair to me and the more the merrier is my thought on this
- now with that said as a reminder I can only send a prize to someone they're 18 years or older I don't know if that's legally true but I'm being safe
- second of all it will be free shipping in the Continental us if it is outside the continental US I will pay the cost of the shipping of what it would be from California to New York whatever that is and then you'll have to cover the rest
- so those of you that are in another country that might affect what game you pick you might not want to pick the 30 lb aridia if you win knowing that you're going to have to pay probably a lot of shipping overage and there may be customs duties or whatever again if your country has those that is not something that I will be paying
- so unfortunately because I'm in America it is a little bit leaning towards a prize for Americans though there it is possible that some the games will be inexpensive to ship and some of the and for those that are not in my personal possession right now it might be able to be shipped from a different Hub but just do keep that in mind
- whoever winds up with the highest score at the end through various tiebreakers that I have you'll get your first choice of those four prizes you'll get your first choice of those five prizes and then whoever's second will get next choice and so on and so on
- now with that said we're going to go right to it this video is only going to be the playin round of all the ones on the very far sides of the bracket
- again if you still want to get in you still have a chance you'll be at a slight point disadvantage but points ramp up as we go so you still do have a chance
- so with that said let's see what beatric is interested in from the 2024 selection and here we are with the first round debris versus kire dell
- and victory for kire Dell
- and next we have the fog and the Venice and the Venice with the victory
- and next up we have dinogenics versus mind space and mind space it is a bit of an upset you would think she would appreciate the Beast of dinogenics but she is a smart dog and goes for ly space
- and next up we have factions of Soul versus abduction and here she comes coming down and oh right for factions of Soul apparently she can be the only cute creature in this tournament abduction is out
- next up we have fake Forge versus Relic blade and here she comes coming down and immediately for real blade not interested in fak Forge looks like the indie game wins this round
- next up we have lunar versus Evergreen and no question right for lunar that makes all play with two out of two today
- and next up we have survival of the fattest for city of kings and here she comes coming down and she goes right for city of Kings once again proving she is the only cute animal allowed in this tournament
- next up we have dragons down versus Elemental stones and looks like oh oh she's not sure and she goes for Dragons Down
- next we have Earth Under Siege versus Invincible the deck building game and here she comes and looks like she's go she's going around the other side and going for invincible that is a first she mixed it up this time
- next we have AP are versus cre Manor we all know Jamie STM is a big fan of B the board game dog let's see if she returns that love and oh she does she does straight for apiary and she's looking she's looking for that other blueberry and there it is she found it little confusion there but AP moves on
- the last match of the play around we have wild Gardens versus super snipers and here she comes and wild Gardens it is which does make sense she does love outside
- and there we have it that is the end of the playing round
- that is the end of the playin round I hope you enjoyed watching it I enjoyed doing it beatric enjoyed making it
- and one last time if you want to get into the tournament you still have a chance follow the links down in the description to get your brackets in
- you will find that the submission folder is completely empty or would be almost empty right now because all the people who are already in I've moved them into another folder so they get their bonus points
- all right there you have it folks as always if you enjoyed this video please like subscribe share maybe become a channel member
- as always thank you so much for watching have a wonderful wonderful day

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Card Drafting (implied) — When you choose which cards you want to go with you pick the the top card and actually start following down these routes and seeing where they terminate.
- Market mechanism — There's a very very cool Market mechanism here which sort of goes I mean this isn't the it's going to be five cards but you actually stack these up they go from highest to lowest the card numbers actually determine how you do this.
- Route Building — You are going to be creating your area you're also thinking about what cards the solo opponent is picking up though so there's actually a nice sort of balance between what do I need and what do I want to make sure the solo opponent doesn't pick up.
- Set Collection (implied) — Some of those cards are going to have these icons up here and as you collect these you might actually have some special abilities that will help you with the market and help you with your area.
- Solo opponent AI — The solo opponent will always travel as far down that market as they can and pick the lowest card.
- variable scoring — There are different types of points that you can pick up along the way you're only going to be able to score one type though there are multiple types you'll see out here but in your run you can only score however you know whatever one is the most that you have.

Quotes (from this video)
- Super Slopes from Button Shy this is another one of their wallet sized games
- There's a very very cool Market mechanism here
- The only thing I will mention is that you kind of have to have trying to think how to describe it but you when you're done and you have all your cards laid out right you're not going to have like a highlighter to show you exactly what your route is because sometimes the route will double back on itself worth extra points actually or it may kind of like twist and turn and you got to kind of travel along there and be able to follow it just with your own eyes
- I am somebody who does not do well with a lot of these sort of uh figuring out the pattern or seeing these things but I will say I did not struggle much with this
- It's a really cool sort of puzzle though I enjoyed it a lot
- No turn is going to be boring you are very focused the whole time
- I really really like that market
