1:32 then I'm going to catch some demos while these guys are meeting up with their business associate yeah yesterday was so weird for us because we had like four hours and of work and rest was just meetings and we went like from one meeting to the other all day how was your day oh it was fantastic I'm just roaming around and sucking all the impressions in yeah while I'm juggling breakfast and the yeah rules reading and everything that's

2:20 fun we've been demoing for aorta games today we've been demoing some hustle cats and tono Builders and this is a game that we already done coverage for it on the channel but it's fun to see other people playing it and seeing that they feel the same frustration as I do when I get the perfect Tile For What I'm trying to achieve but I have to build it on the wrong terrain now we're going to get some lunch and then we have a last meeting today before we are heading out to the hotel a little earlier today and see if we can try to play some more games night to get around more efficiently ashel you have to read the room so you have to see where there are many people and when there are fewer and I don't say few because I'm not going to be few this is windmill Valley a new upcoming game it's retail you said right yeah comeing UK games Expo next year it's from Danny Garcia same design with did Barcelona which we really really love from this year it has a very neat looking action selection system that you're going to move these cogs I just love that moving cogs it makes me happy moving the cogs and looking at that and you are going to be doing actions here and you can upgrade the actions as well and and there's also pay ways to upgrade the actions so you can do both of the actions to maximize your scores you will be getting these flowers to plant them to score points because points are life we know that now and we will be placing windmills out here uh to do more actions

3:53 and and the interesting thing is that there's some kind of interesting interactions in the game like when you are building the windmills you are opening up you're getting your actions but you're opening up new spots for the other players you also have water levels rising up and and that's going to be bad for everybody or and and then you can lower them but if you lower them that's also going to be good for other people so you kind of have to think about is it good enough for me to do it for other people and other things as well that's going to make the interaction of the game better you have contracts you have helpers many interesting things I cannot wait to find out more and and and play this game and comes out next year win Mill valy from I am mentally done I'm officially done well like we are not done for real we're going back tomorrow but right now in this moment I'm very tired and I I know that johannna is too and we look forward to now pick up the last game of today and go to play some board games that's going to be really really really nice it ain't no party like a punching party punching parties is where the punching happens yes we have a lot of games to punch tonight because everything needs to be punched and packed for tomorrow because we are checking out at 11 a.m. well before that because we're going to the Messa um but yeah um we've had had a

5:23 good gaming day today we got to play something else than just like card games so like we had a good game we played two games tree tree we played the tiger and the dragon tiger and the dragon I like Dragon Tiger yeah I really liked one it was like a funny take on a shedding like a trick taking almost using almost like this almost using the plastic tiles but you are using the plastic tiles yeah before we talk about these games there question are you tired oh yeah I am you get really tired with all the the constant busing of people and the voices and the sounds all of the time and also with like 10 hours of sleep for two two days is going to come and that also affects us we're going to say something already that the the live video tomorrow is probably going to be weird and asleep yes because you if you don't know we are arriving home at midnight in Norway before midnight because the video is midnight yes the and we're doing a live stream to show you all the games that we've picked up so please join us if you want the weirdest experience ever because we will be super tired and after that live video you have to edit the last Vlog from tomorrow no no no no no no I will do that in the car on the way home or something yeah we can't edit the whole thing because we have to to film The at end of it as well but yeah the games we played we played two other games we played um world wonders and archaeologic we're going to keep this brief so uh two sentences about world

6:55 wonders um cool really cool components I love how they wonders looked on the map along with with two no five players we played five players was a little downtime not that interesting interaction I thought it felt a little loose but that's probably because I was so awesome in the game you won by one point yeah I like the game I want to play it again with with less than five people basically I thought it was a a lot of interesting like light light decisions but fun decisions and and you end up with a very beautiful board looking forward to Play It Again the other one we played was archaeologic archeologic deduction game pretty pure deduction game by one of the designers who did a touring machine last year what do you think five sentences or two I enjoyed it I thought it the the system for checking the things was really clever uh I I lost terribly I didn't get any information about where was what it's very abstract I won deduction game over C I don't think that has has never happened but I thought it was fun I love those kind of games yeah I want to play it again that's well but we played it before I I need this game yeah two maybe yeah it has a Time Track but that's not why I play the game and now we are going to punch 30 Games welcome to the punching party we are punching the games so uh in in this video yeah you're that's that's the best joke nobody's never heard today we are going

8:26 to uh say that we're going to go to sleep sleep but before that of course we need to have the best segment of the video in bed with Martin and today I'm going to ask you one of the question I've been thinking about the whole weekend but I couldn't ask before today so the whole experience Mar which game have you enjoyed punching the most uh great thank you so much for answering uh back to the studio and we're actually going to end the end the video there today because we we we we could say and now we're going to go to sleep but we're not because now it is like 1:17 a.m. and we're probably going to punch at least an hour more so uh we're going to say bye uh thank you for watching that's Martin s is filming and she's too tired to say anything and I'm Johannes and you've been watching board gaming ramblings and bye-bye
