Quotes (from this video)
- It's Whisper Wood, one word for one to four players.
- It's much heavier than Flamecraft.
- This is definitely a strategy game. Mid midweight mid to heavy strategy game.
- it's a big game on the table. A lot of moving parts. Gorgeous, gorgeous game because we have Sandor Tang again and Sergio Chavez.
- So, it's a bag builder. You're pulling out these tokens. What you pull out will determine what actions you take.
- And y'all, it is good. It is good. But it's definitely much heavier than previous Cardboard Alchemy games. It's still gorgeous though. It's still gorgeous. Still a sprawling game. And I think for the the Euro strategy lovers, this is going to be a good one.
- Whisperwood. All one word.
- it's perennial uh by Emily Vincent uh published by Fatout Games and art by Beth Sobo who does one of the most beautiful nature art in board games period concerning my opinion.
- we make a beautiful prairie garden
- And yeah, this one looks gorgeous. I was like, "Okay, I need this."
- I'm very excited for Perennial for sure.
- But this is Electrify for one to four players from John Declair and Ian Hutchinson.
- Uh, it is a engine builder.
- It's a simultaneous action selection, slice selection.
- So it's really interesting little engine builder. It goes from like coal all the way to nuclear and solar power and all these other electricity generating things.
- And it's just such a nice combo. Everything's connected but quick because it's simultaneously simultaneous turns to it.
- multi-use cards and I love that.
- So some of the cards have arrows, so it will like allow you to activate other cards that it's connected to. So you get this long chain of actions, which is really fun.
- It's very good. And I've played it and play tested it solo which is also good and it's one that I think is kind of my favorite of what they're coming out this year.
- It's going to be on Kickstarter and I am very excited for this.
- It's very interesting combo of mechanisms and it really is that engine builder goodness that I absolutely love.
- And it really is that engine builder goodness that I absolutely love.
- So, that's Electrify from AG.
- I love seeing that and everybody getting along. No big incidents. I think that's just amazing that so many cultures come together in spread over three different countries because not only in the United States, United States is the most in games but yeah and everybody gets along people joining in on on marches, fan marches and I think that's just awesome to see.
- But it was funny because it was a whole circle thing for me.
- The minions sung the Beach Boys. The banana song is the Beach Boys.
- Yeah. That was totally Beach Boys.
- So, my moment of positivity is it was the 4th of July and so my mom and her friends took and I went with them we went to the July 4th firework spectacular at the Hollywood Bowl.
- It was with the Beach Boys and John Stamos and we usually try to go to the Hollywood Bowl at least once or twice every year and it was a lot of fun.
- It's almost 11 p.m.
- Well, the most common things are Twitch, where you can find twitch.tv/joda.
- Uh I stream on Tuesday. I have my coffee and crowdfunding where I drink coffee and I look at all the crowdfunding campaigns from the past week that have been launched criticizing the page the game and sometimes being positive and also always pick one game but I think well that was the best one for this week.

Quotes (from this video)
- It's more expensive for US buyers because of tariffs. Tariffs cost money. We are passing that cost on to you because it's your country that's making you pay that, not us.
- a $200 board game, which is a lot of money for something that is not crowdfunding.
- I will admit I got a lot of sticker shock at that price point.
- Origins always in a weird space for me. Again, I love it, but also feels like it's declining every year. The board game presence feels like it's dropping each year.
- As a general convention, it's a blast. I have fun. I will probably go back every single year.
- I've slowly been cutting back in that effort of maintaining balance in my life.
- The things I enjoy the most with the expansion are probably small like card hunting abilities.
- It's such a challenging puzzle. I really enjoy it. Highly recommend it.
- I also think it still suffers and and is in the shadow of Bunny Kingdom for me.
- I think it is certainly not a Calico or Cascadia replacement for me.
- Ultimately gets priority over Flip Seven with a Vengeance, even if I am chasing that burst and like a few casual viewers and all that.
