1:31 choices simply ask yourself how you would rank five random items from best to worst from love to loath such as sunsets cheese camping aquariums and dog breath lock in your answers because then the other players must work together to try to predict the order that you rank the items it's everyone both families and adults versus the game as they try to determine your priorities pick it up and make playing priorities a priority at your next group gaming get together follow the link in this video's description to find priorities which is available now at Target stores near you the one to five player Metro Runner was announced by thunderworks games being a runner in Mirror City's underworld ain't easy but you're determined to make a name for yourself amidst all the opportunities a dystopian future has to offer after all you're the sharpest hacker in the district right I've always considered my keep wey bioenhanced eye out over your shoulder as you ride to the Metro because other Runners are determined to cut in on your action D dun D so Metro Runner is a competitive worker movement and resource collection game for one to five player set in a high-tech neon future where you'll compete for resources as you race to fulfill contracts for the ruthless and greedy Mega corporations in order to grow your influence and gain reputation all while of course you secretly steal the their data for your home District

4:33 herself or took it from another chicken we amig called games always get my attention I believe this is a push your luck shedding game where you also get to shout cowardly chicken at people and the designers of this one also worked on Cahoots happy salmon mantis and a lot of other solid little games so I want to play this when I can there are more birds in the next game nestlings coming from Lucky Duck which is also a bird in nestlings one 12 four players assume the roles of various foul competing to gain priority across four different biomes Savannah Alpine freshwater and desert bags the Alpine over four rounds players use their biome dice which they use to place in the biomes attempting to get majority to earn the resources you need to score points based on how many nestlings you're able to feed and how many segments are in their resource ring which looks like it's a mechanism that will earn you bonuses and trigger a chain reactions I love dice placement and SE collection so this one will have my attention because after a successful Kickstarter by Tangerine games Lucky Duck will be making it available at retail in April I've played through the entirety of the crew quest of Planet 9 and the crew mission deep sea and while this is a new show I do sometimes throw my journalistic Integrity to the wind and give my opinion saying such things as the crew mission deep sea is one of the greatest games of all time I won't be getting a poit priz but I do stand by what I say so I was really excited to see a new game in the crew Series this one is

6:04 called the crew family it's a game from Cosmos games it plays three to five players and in this one players find themselves stranded on a deserted island Swiss Family Robinson style and have to find their way to survive together and of course this one is aimed to be played as a family so it's more accessible to younger players and we'll be out next year three different aquatic games were announced starting with algae Inc and look I'm a simple gamer what made me look at this one was the words tile placement and Tech Tree this one is a two to four player game coming from gang Brewer and in the game algae Inc is a company that produces and processes different kinds of algae into cosmetics bioplastics and biod Diesel and of course you will be managing one of these sectors of the company trying to create an efficient assembly line manage your team team of operators and engineers and scientists and help expand the company to several locations over Europe hopefully before the other players are able to do so alink is being described as a medium heavy Euro that combines Resource Management Tableau building and multi-processing where each player has a unique player board and must adapt their strategy to the department they've chosen to manage hiring staff optimizing your process line and of course making difficult decisions as to how to upgrade your system and this one will launch on game found early next year Aqua is a one to four player game from sidekick games

7:35 which has you start at a hot spot in the ocean that gradually become surrounded by expanding Coral formations Coral that serve as habitats for small marine animals and of course fostering biodiverse habitats you can create the ideal conditions for attracting larger and larger marine life over 17 rounds nice unique number you'll be taking a new Coral tile from the market and adding it to your Reef attemp to attract animals to your ecosystem if you can create the correct patterns of coral and pattern building tile placement is something I love and this one does it all with artwork by Vincent D trade so I'm really interested in trying Aqua in February when it's released and the final aquatic game is one I've already played and this is the one to five player Seaside by Randol games the sun is shining as light salty winds send cottony clouds across the sky sandpipers filling their bellies with strange insects crabs hiding under piles of rocks seashells washed up the beach curling waves that break along the beach nature at its simplest Beauty that's the description on Board Game Geek but in this push your luck set collection game you'll be drawing tokens out of a bag and applying their effects as you try to get the most points you will have the opportunity to take extra turns but doing so increases the tokens available for other players so you need to be careful I really enjoy the Prototype version of this I played with a small
