Stress Botics: Odyssey - 3p - The Play

0:08 So, uh, the we'll go and kind of rehash again the event. We'll kind of even though we've done it. Yeah. So, here we go. All the ships move. They've already moved. Pressure up the uh the planet the core rotate one uh tick to the uh ro um clockwise. Um go ahead and auto produce. We've done that. The hatch will close. So that's going to flip over. Then uh the bad guys, the cylindroids are going to come out in A. So A is A1, which is that location right there on the main vault. So there are two boxes that come out. Again, there can be four things on those spaces. One thing I did not mention is when Alphabot moves, uh, if she moves to a location that we are in, then she just gently nudges us and in turn order you can move adjacent. Yeah.

1:00 But if it's this squish. Okay. All right. So, we have done all of phase one. Now, we are going into phase two, which is draw action cards. We drew lots. And by lots, I said that Ken was going to go first. Everybody is going to draw two different cards. Ken, it's your option. Go for it. It appears there are two pre- boosted cards. I'm gonna take those. Sorry, guys. I did shuffle, but yeah. All right. Uh John, you're up. I'm sorry, this guy. Apologies. So, uh I'm in the core. I get two cards. They have to be different. We're going to go with a move. You get to move it. Move it. I love to move it. Move it. And I'm going to do this. Okay. John. John. Take a a mine and a move. Please go ahead and program. And a mine and a move. I got you. You got You got what I need. So, they're going to program. That is the remainder of phase two. And then once everyone has programmed their cards, they are going to we're going to start off with Ken. Ken is the first player.

2:08 So, he's going to flip over his first card or take it back. Take it back. Okay. Done. Well, okay. All right, Paul. I am going to not take it back. I'm going to mine the core. Okay. So, taking an extraction action. Yeah. Okay. His location is there in the core. So, his betabot is actually there. We're going to look the pressure level is three. Pressure level three is going to be two. And now he could boost this uh by paying a uh a gray battery, but it's not there isn't one in there. So therefore he can't. So he takes two lava. Two lava. And then where he places the lava is his choice. I can put them in one, two, or three. Four is currently locked. No. No. Four is unlock. You can't. No. No. The you can't play the fourth card. You nor can you play the third card. Oh, four is.

3:00 But the fourth is is available if you wish. Not going to. But, uh, let's, um, let's put them right here. Okay, that's good for me. All right. Now, the question is, are you going to retain that card by losing a shield or are you going to discard it, sir? Yeah, I'm going to retain that by losing a shield. Okay, so shield drops. Done. John, you're up. All right, I am going to take the mine action. Um, and I'm down in this. Oh, yeah. Two carbon. Pretty nice, man. All right, so here we are. Three pressure. Like you said, he's there, so that's there. So he gets two. And again, not boosting it. I got you. And I will be discarding it. All right. And so that'll go into fix that. And bring that in a little bit for me, John. There you go. Perfect. All right, Ken. I am now doing my double extract.

3:53 Okay. He's in the core. I'm in the core. So that lets me take four of these. Yes, sir. And I will retain the card by spending a titanium and two stress. All right. So, two stress. Now, in this specific example, it's not going to matter. But whoever has the most stress, we will change turn order based on that. And whenever you gain stress, i.e. negative points, it is a push potentially as opposed to just skip. So, as we do that, we will talk about it, but it's it's a cow's opinion. You're never in the same case. Exactly. That's a good way to put it. All right, Paul, your second action. Good sir, is a move. All right. What's your move limit? Uh, two. All right. Show where that is on your player board. Right there. Thank you, sir. Yeah. All right. So, now, uh, planet, go for it.

4:48 Planet. Planet. Planet. I am purple. And I'm going to go one, two. Okay. Could have gone just one and stopped. True. Well, hold on. This might matter. Yeah. The way you enter. The way you enter matters. Oh, yeah. So, either it would be so here or or here? No. Here. Oh, from the core. No. If he comes in from the core, yeah, it's there. If he comes in from this, this is from the exit, which is there, which means you're adjacent. That's where I want to be. Okay. So, there. So therefore, he is moving to the main vault. And again, there are Whoa, that was weird. Try that again. Sorry about that. There. Uh, so now he is adjacent to the laser. Now he's going to get pinged, but for being adjacent to the laser or no, for being in there, period, but so be it. He's only getting shot a little bit. Just a little bit. Just a little. Merely a flesh moon. Yeah, you're right, John. All right. So Oh, are you keeping the card? I will keep the card. Sorry, John. All right. So, I'm going to move. Okay. Um, now, just for the people at home, can you remind us how these locks get removed from the from the mantle across? Yeah. Yeah. Uh, all right. So, looking at the planet, I know how this one gets removed, right?

6:03 So, I covered how those two get removed, right? When all that's empty. However, as Alphabot leaves uh the vaults, she will advance. She will advance. She will advance. When she hits this spot, then those will go away. When she hits that and somebody has an extra stuff, that lock goes way too. Correct. Yeah. Cuz effectively she is tunnneled through there and blown through. So her movement's removing the locks. Yeah. So well her movement is for sure removing these four five sorry these two we and by we I mean the players may be able to move. Yeah. Okay. All right. So you have a movement or two. Yep. So I'm going to go one, two. All right. Over into the tunnel. Yep. Done.

6:52 All right. Are you retaining the card? Uh, I am. I mean, you might again. Yeah. I got all those cards. Might as well. Okay. All right. So, now I have my handy dandy little homemade aid here that isn't fancy, but it works. So, we are now, and I'll show you all this. We are now in phase four. Okay? And it we're following this, but it's a little bit more detailed is what we're uh what I'm going to be talking about. So phase four. So the first thing is replicate uh prepared batteries. So I'll use Paul as my guinea pig. Cool. So here we go. Look on the left hand side of your of the board. You can have one, two, or three batteries that are prepared to be created. In a given round, you are only allowed to create two of the three that are prepared. But obviously he only has one ready. So it's his choice. Do you wish to create that battery? I do. Okay.

7:48 So therefore that becomes a silicon battery there. Then after players have done that and that can be done simultaneously. You guys go ahead. You may rearrange your batteries both on the track. Yeah. And you can swap out the battery that's in your beta bot. I I need a silicon battery as well. I got you. We all I think it's pretty standard to just So everyone's going to have a fourth battery on their board. Now it's just a matter of do they want to move them around. It probably is a good habit to have the titanium one closest to your shield. Correct. Uh that because it it works as a buffer uh which I'll talk about here uh as needed. And the other question is exactly you may swap out the one that is on in your beta bot depending on what boosted action you might be thinking about doing. It is the is it the mine or the connect action to pick these up? Connect. Very good. Thank you.

8:45 connect. Yep. Very good. Everyone good with rearranging your batteries and such? Now, you'll notice that uh everybody now has four, which now means if you'll point, everybody can now uh put a card uh a three program three action. That's the word I'm looking for. Okay. So, now player now that that's done, players may now rearrange their resources. However, this is a one-way conveyor. So, if you would Paul, show the arrows that are showing. It goes from one to two to three to four. Done. So, if you want, you can move things left to right, but you can't move them right to left. So, if you wish to do so, you may do so now. And then as soon as that's done, you're going to liquefy any resources that are in contact with lava.

9:37 And then after that, you're going to solidify lava. So for every two lava that solidify, it becomes a beta matter. So do it at your leisure, people at home. Four beta matter, please. All right. Got you. One, two, four beta matter for me, too. Just one beta matter cuz it's just it's two to one, right? Two to one. Because of your start position, you start with an extra beta matter. Exactly. Yep. Yeah. You know what? Here, go ahead. And the cooling of the lava is not voluntary. No, cuz lava gets cool in your tank. the end if well so there's a special sure lava doesn't get cool down there if you want them there in stress odyssey those are always available to start at the beginning y so okay so lava has been or anything has been liquefied that was in contact with lava okay done things have solidified now step six is combining beta matter this is a kind of a two-step process or it's a two option process the first one is you can prepare batteries. You prepare batteries by uh combining beta matter and any of your cubes and preparing uh battery preparation for next round so that you have batteries ready to rock and roll.

10:50 The second thing that you may do freely is what Ken is showing. I'll go ahead and move it over to yours. So Ken is getting ready to combine beta matter with gas and acid respectively. combining it with gas creates two titanium creating uh combining it with uh acid creates two silicon. So he's got two batteries he's about to prep. So go for it there. And then he's going to get two silicon and two titanium and all those res oh those four resources that are on his board go away. Now the other thing is because uh acid and gas come from that location here. I'll use Ken since the camera's there. Since it comes from there, they actually go into wherever the beta matter was. Mhm. So that's tank three for you. Oh, right. So it has to be one and three. Correct.

11:44 That's where they were. Correct. So I could have decided to put them both here cuz I had two beta here. Totally. Yeah, you could do that. And I can always slide down. No, you can only do so prior. You cannot. You can only slide down earlier in step four. Exactly. Next time I can slide them down 100%. And then this becomes two yellows and that will be two silicon. Yes, sir. Got you. Yep. And this becomes two grays. Facts. Two titanium. You got it. All right. Cool. All right. So everybody at home, even if you're like, "Oh my god, that's a lot of information." Is it at least making sense? And are you able to follow along?

12:29 I hope. All right. So, that is all. Are you cold, by the way? Cuz you're right under that fan. I apologize. I don't love it, but if it keeps you comfortable, I'm cool. Should have kept your lava. See, I'll turn it down here in a minute. Sure. Um, but that is all of step four except for the fifth one. The fifth one doesn't come into play right now. It only matters if you have five batteries exactly on your player board. So on Ken, if he had that fifth battery, which is really a sixth because your beta bot always has to have one in it, then you may freely choose to change your AI between competitive versus cooperative. But if it's less than five, it's always competitive. If it's more than five, it's always cooperative. Only if you have five exactly in that step at the end of phase four, can you then choose to change it? Now, that that means that in the first round, barring any special abilities or cards or anything, everyone's going to be angry with each other in that first round and possibly through the second round as well. Possibly. Yeah. Yep. That all that makes sense. That is You are correct, sir. I'm correct, sir. All right. Here we go. Now, we are into phase five. We are going to go through this step a little bit slower. All right. Because there's if then that statements throughout this whole thing. It's all automated. We're not making decisions, but the process can be a little confusing the first couple times you do

14:00 it. So, um, we're doing this. However, um, I I again, I have my handy dandy little thing. I'm going pause for one second, John. Helpfully, man, you're just saving our life here. When combining beta matter with gas or acid, you can put the resultant higher number in a higher number tank. So, you can still go up. You just can't go backwards, right? But not in its tank to the left of where the better. Okay. So it can slide up. It can't slide back. Okay. Fair point. Yeah. Fair point. All right. Phase five cylindot activation. So cylindroid activation order. You do all of one type regardless of location. And then we move on to the next type. Now in this case there's only one out there. This is very simple but the order is laser minor explosive elite. But as it is, the only one out there is laser.

14:55 If there are multiple lasers, it would be location A1, then B1, then A2, then B2. Okay? But again, there's only one. So cylinds attack. Depending on the type of cylind determines how it attacks, if it attacks, it's a laser. So every alphabot, i.e. the one alphabet and all beta butts anywhere lose a shield. So if it's here, it hits everything in here. If it's here, it hits everything in there. That's it. So in that case, lose a shield. Yeah. So this thing big reds everybody and lose a shield, right? And mom also loses a shield. Mom loses a shield as well.

15:41 Okay. Now we would pause at this point. indulge me. Yeah, let's say that's there. We would pause at this moment because mom took damage from one type of some type of cylindroid. Whenever mom takes damage, Alphabot reacts. Okay, she reacts once per type. So, in other words, throw a purple another laser out there. Let's say that would have attacked hit mom. Then this would have attacked hit mom in that case. Okay, that's one type. She would only react once. However, putting this back wherever it was and give me a different type that one attack took damage react. Attack maybe takes damage reacts. Okay, it doesn't matter how much damage she takes or for it's the different types. And I'm stressing that because that can be a little confusing for folks. All right, but Alphabot reacts. If as a result of an attack, Alphabot loses a shield.

16:53 Resolve one aggressive AI card. Wow, here we go. So, that one, the angry one, we're going to flip that over and we're going to do whatever the card actually says. What card number is it? It is number 13. Uh, oh, that's a bad number for that is I'm getting I'm getting a That's five laser. I think it's almost at the back of the book by It is in fact the back of the book. All right. Uh, Alphabot AI number 13. Alphabot retreats to the empty square. Each betabot in that square loes a shield now. Okay, not so bad. No, it really wasn't. But basically, she's like ah and runs back, right? And if you're there, I told you if she you're in a spot that Alphabot moves to, she nudges you. Well, in this case, she ran quickly and yeah, it was more than a nudge. So, okay. Little bit of a fender bender, right? Okay. So, that's great because that's one of the I I would say the weaker response, one of the worst Alphabot responses, right?

17:56 because got it out of the way. Worse because she's not closer to the exit, right? And she also didn't attack the spin around rapidly and and crush all beta bots in her radius. She didn't do anything cool. Yeah. All right. Now, I would like to remind everybody, every time you flip a card, whether it's an aggressive or a standard, you are going to move the AI marker one direction or the other. If it's an aggressive, you move it up, meaning towards zero. There are these symbols right here, right? If it's a standard, move it down every time. That is really important to remember to do. Okay. That'll become very important as uh Alphabot starts taking more damage. Yes. Okay. All right. So, now I would like to circle back to where we were. Cylindroids attack. Yeah.

18:53 Attacked. Reacted. That's where we're at now. Now, there are no other types of cylindroids here. So, we can skip the rest of that. So, now we do cylindroid movement. Okay. Now, cylindroid movement says if it attacked this round, it doesn't do anything. Lasers always attack, therefore lasers will never move this way. Got it. Okay. So, look, I I knew that. I I just was trying to work through the steps to point that out. Okay. Screw it. All right. So, laser attack. Therefore, it will not move. Now, Alphabot gets her turn. Alphabot activation now happens. We are going to reveal one standard AI card that always happens here no matter what.

19:44 Yep. Four. All right. So, card number four says Alphabot moves one square. Now, hold on. Before you do that, let's reference what direction Mom's going to move. She's going to move straight. So, straight here. Flip this over. She is in the entry spot. She is going to move straight. Straight is onto the hatch. Now, if the hatch were opened, mom would take some damage. But she's not. It's not. She's not. That's it. Okay. Now, we just flipped the card. So, therefore, what happens? The AI has to drop down one step. Okay.

20:30 Now, uh, if when we resolve that card Mhm. Alphabot lost the shield, reveal an aggressive AI card. Yep. Did she? No. So, therefore, we can skip that. So, now we check. If Alphabot has eight or more shields, stop. She has eight or more shields. We'll talk about the rest when she doesn't have eight or more shields. Yeah. Okay. Doesn't have eight or more shields by a lot though. No, but she does. So, we're going to get in we're going to get into that pretty quickly. Yeah. So, that is everything that we just ran through there in phase five. Moving on. Now, status check. This is really easy. Check Alphabot distance. What that means is, are you ahead of where Alphabot is? If so, you're going to get stressed out being further away from mom, being in unexplored territory. So we look at this is everybody in this sector or this way including the core. The core is always whatever. So the answer is yes. So nobody is going to take any undue stress in that case. The second one we're going to check hand size. So it's going to be a max of five cards. I'm pretty sure nobody has more than five cards. If so they would have to discard. And then finally we would adjust turn order based on stress. So we look at this. Whoever has the most stress is in first and then everybody else stays relative. Well,

22:00 guess what? Already was first. Okay, done. We are 113thish of the way through the game. Now, we're not going to go this slow the entire round, the entire game, but the first couple of turns, or maybe not the first couple, but whenever this starts getting a little hairy, then we're going to slow down in phase five again. All right. So, with that said, I'm going to let you guys go ahead. We'll show this. Yeah. And I'm gonna let you run this. I'm gonna turn the air down so Paul doesn't freeze. So, there we go. So, ships move, no pressure, no tectonic movement. Gas and acid are going to be uh produced. Um there will be no cylindroid that comes out and the hatch opens. The hatch opens. Mom's losing two shields.

22:48 That's not good. So, let's see. I have put out the We established that I could actually end up putting these here, right? Yes, you can move them forward. Yeah. Yeah, you can move it forward. Yeah. All right. Okay. Through a series of retcons. Yes, that is that is what you No gas or acid lives up there in the stress boy. There is one acid that comes out here. There is one gas that comes out here. Uh be my eyes. I am not seeing any other gas or acid that needs to. Okay. And there was none up there, right? Yeah, we're good. So, that that hatch has opened. Does does Alphabot take two damage now? It burned her bum. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She takes two damage, which means end of the round. End of the round. And is the damage based on that? Yes. It's b it's based uh here you go.

23:34 Um so acid or I'm sorry, lava. Lava is hot. Lose two shield. And does Alphabot react by take by doing an aggression? Because she was not attacked. Okay, very good. Fernando can correct me on that, but I I believe I believe that's the case. And and yeah, um to be clear, I think I said this, but you do all one color, take all the hits, get one reaction, and then move. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, good. All right. So, we're done with the event, right? Yeah. All right. Program draw cards. Every uh let's see. Uh red is going to draw two different Yeah. I will take a move and an interact. Move and interact. So that's kind of telling you, oh, he might be going into here and interacting there, right? Okay. So second, same thing. Uh, check that. Your choice. Two of the same or three different. You just have to declare before you take them.

24:28 Yeah. Uh, okay. Let's see. Alphabot absorbs absorb resource. Oh, okay. That is correct. I forgot. So, Alphabot um always reacts but never loses shield. So, we will do that. But also um Alphabot absorbs resources. Yeah. So, thank you. I forgot about that. So, uh to get one lava, it gets a lava and that goes open the hatch open. It got the resources. Yeah. It basically sucked it up. Hold on. And there we go. All right. So, we're going to Yep. All right. Yeah. Take a step back. Flip this over and we're going to do number 19.

25:15 Okay. Number 19. Now, obviously, I don't like any of that. Alphabot. I see buzz saws and flames. She's shredding this laser, which is Alphabot executes an attack. So, we're going to move over to the vault here. Beta bots in the same I'm not I'm I'm sorry. I'm reading that and I'm reacting, but I think I'm fine. Please continue. Let Alphabot react, not you. Okay. Beta bots in the same square or adjacent. Adjacent is orthogonal. Purple is not orth. They would lose two shield, but not a problem. Each cylind I'm sorry, the elite cylindroid if it were out. It's not, but if it were would lose a shield. Cylindroids in adjacent squares are disintegrated. So, bye-bye. That goes away. Cool. Done. I thought I was hurt and then I realized I wasn't hurt and I did all that was like a three-act play over You weren't so sad. Yeah. And we drew a aggressive AI. Mhm. And what is the relevance of the 01 and two? It's a uh information loop about whether or not we have to draw more aggressive AIs the more damage she takes. So that's all that's really all it is. All right. Uh I lost my So we were drawing We're drawing cards. Ken was drawing. Ken has finished drawing. It is now to me. I can draw three different or two of the same. But I have to make that decision right now before you see what the face up cards

26:45 are, right? Or the, you know, the same. Yeah, I think. Thanks, Sean. And I did, uh, Fernando. I think I'm going to draw three different. Okay. So, now you can just pick one at a time because you have to get three different. So, we're going to start with this. Ah. Okay. We're going to do this. God. No, I guess not. Just at the Yeah. Uh, and then um this one. Nice. John, can I only draw one now? John. Exactly. John only gets to draw one because of his location. Not in the sector with mom. He is technically outside. So therefore, he gets to draw in card. Oops. I'm going to draw this one. Yeah. Probably want the extract. Okay. All right. Program your cards. You should have been doing this already. I Good thing Good thing I have been. Oh, good.

27:42 Done. Oh, well, you know what? I I can put down a third. That and that. There we go. Cool. So, everybody following along? I hope. Yeah. All right. Everyone is programmed. Any extra cards just stay in your hand? Ken, you're up. Okay. I'm going to move. All right. And your movement is two. My movement's two. So, I'm going to leave. I'm going to enter the enter the vault here. Okay. That's one. Yeah. Now, when you enter, technically, you are right there. You have one movement left. You may move anywhere within that. Okay. Done. So, just chilling with mom. Are you keeping the cards, sir? Yeah. Okay. John, so this is a connect.

28:29 Connect. I'm a boosted, which means I get to pick up both those boxes. Okay. So, he's boosting it. No, you have to boost it to pick up. You have to pick up one box. Fair enough. All right, I'll take it. Uh, which which box do you want? Um, it doesn't matter. That's tough. I uh Well, I'm also being funny. We can both be funny. Facts. Uh, well, you you can in theory. So, he he gets to draw two of these cards. He keep one, bottom deck the other. Nice. Okay. Mhm. And it's a good thing that Paul has a battery prepared here. That Well, right there. No. Oh, you'll see in a minute. Yeah. Oh, okay. Um, no. I'm going to do this one. This one seems more useful. Oh, because it's on the lava, it gets one more. That's my bad. Bottom deck. Right. There we go.

29:20 Bottom deck. All right. Now Paul has a choice. He can place it on any three of those locations on his board. The right one probably seems dumb. It does. Uh the left one says you can produce uh the same battery twice out of one. So in that case he would get two two uh carbon batteries or in the middle. Would one of them be able to be there or Yes. Right on top. Yeah. Uh or you just get a free battery and then you might be able to produce that one later. That's up to you. Now I'm going to put it right there and I'm going to get two black batteries out of this. Okay. So that goes away and that turns into two black batteries. Yep. And I'll put one here. And I put one here. Now, at this moment, I immediately changes to friendly. So, I'm now friendly. Friendly body. That That is true. Um, in addition, what what actual thing did you get? What letter?

30:13 Uh, this is C13. I'll be honest, I don't actually know what it does. What does it what's it name? It is called the alpha welding kit. And it it looks like a shield as an activate. It's activated. It can be can only be activated if you were adjacent to the alphabot. Y and you spend two whatever. Yeah. When activated, you get to repair Alphabot. Yeah. So, as a connect action, you can do that. Repair Alphabot and then you either take three resources from Alphabot or you lower one stress for you. And the the taking of the resources or the lowering of the stress is the thing I get to do because I helped Alphabot, right? Because of that action. Yeah. instead instead of doing this, you have a card for it. And so the the benefit of this card is that it it's more flexible. You get to do it as a connect action. This requires a interact action. Very good. I assume you have to be in the vault with Alphabot in order to be to be adjacent. You said also that is worth one point right there at the end of the game that no m even if that gets covered up by another uh item. I have locked in one point. Yeah. Fact.

31:25 So, uh, this retaining I'm not retaining this card. It is going right there. I'm done. All right, John. All right. So, I'm going to extract that. Um, exom matter here. Yep. Almost. Didn't mean to hit you in the end. Sorry. And this takes up four spots. So, it does. I'll just put it here. And that can't get melted anyway. Okay. Are you retaining the card at the cost of the shield? No. Okay. Ken, back to you, sir. All right. I am using a boosted connect action. to take the other box facts. All right. Um, draw two. So, drawing two.

32:10 Oh, we'll be here for a little while, Olivia. Have fun sleeing. Yep. Oh, boy. Wow. Yeah, that's a task. I imagine that's a lot of cards. That's a lot of cards. These are so wacky. Yeah. Well, I mean, if only there was a legend for them. I know. What card? I've got 03 and 25. What letters? C. Thank you. Yeah. Sorry. I think they're all C's in here. Well, yeah, but I I You expect me to remember that? I Bro. All right. What numbers? Uh 03. Uh, corporation artifact permanent. Whenever you would lose a shield, you could spend two titanium to avoid losing a shield. Y or 25. Uh, a side launcher activated can only be activated with a boosted subaction. And if you were in the main vault, a boosted subaction is whatever you're doing in the vault or in the I'm sorry, in the main vault. When activated, discard a captured cylindroid to deal two damage to a Betabot or disintegrate a cylind. Your target must be in the main vault. So, it basically lets you just shoot rockets. Seems like the shield one's better, but I mean, they're both kind of weird. Um, they're I mean, the the the whole deal with these is they're kind of situation, but they're points.

33:30 So, I'm going to keep the Corporation Artifact, and that will give you a free battery. Generate a free battery. Um, that will be a titanium, please. Catch. Perfect. Okay. Uh, and I can put it on right now. Now, that does not change his AI right now, right? because that is at five. That only happens at the end of phase four. I'll have a decision to make in the future event. Correct. Yep. So, I am going to retain this by spending and two stress. Two stress for red. All right, Paul, you're up. We got ourselves a movement. Two movement, sir. Two movement. And I am in the vault. But, uh, for one movement, I can levitate up out of the vault. No, for one movement, you go somewhere. Yeah, only if you're Well, okay. Somewhere next door. That's what right. So, um if you're here, it requires one extra movement to levitate out. Yeah. So, I could go one, two, uh and go into lava town, get more lava. You would facts. Uh I could go into here and get some carbon. I could hang out over here, but I'd get punched in the face immediately.

34:43 Um because John is currently in uh angry mode. Yeah, he in friendly mode. Yeah. Yeah, I would not. Yeah, you would get punched in the face. I just don't I'm I think I'm done getting punched in the face right now. Okay. So, I think I'm going to move to That's a lot of gas. That's four gas right now. Mhm. Where? Uh oh. Up into here. Yeah. Yeah. Plus, you get a little bonus just for going there a little. Yeah. One, two. All right. So, he has moved from there. Yep. He came over here. Anytime you are on your turn, interact with this stuff. You may freely take it if you so desire. I do freely desire. Okay, you may take that then, sir. Thank you. And that's your move. Are you keeping your card? Oh, boy. So, uh I am I cannot keep my card. So, this is just going to go back. But now I have a decision to make because I got this lava. And if I put it here, it'll liquefy that stuff. If I put it here, it'll liquefy that. And uh I could put it here. It'll liquefy that as well. And uh I could put it there and leave it alone. Yes. Yes. And if you can somehow get one more lava by the end of the round, you'll it'll turn into matter. Otherwise, it will stay disappear. Yeah, it Yeah, it will. Uh I think I'm good leaving it like that.

35:50 Okay, John. So, when I flip when I know when I extract that, they flip. Do I get a bonus for flipping that? Yeah, you get a card. I think you get two cards that are You get it says here you get two cards that are not the same. Yeah. Okay. And then this one will be minus two stress it looks like. Okay. Uh I think I'm gonna retain this then. Okay, sir. All right, my third action. Okay, I need to ask this question before I decide whether I want to do it or not. Do I have to take a movement to get into the hole? No. Okay, since I'm in when you interact, you choose to move from and you you don't have to be adjacent also works. Okay. And then you can freely move into there as part of the interact action that you're about to take. Cool. So, I'm going to interact. Yep. Okay.

36:36 So, we're either console. Yep. Or I'm sorry, control panel or server. We're going to go control panel. Okay. So, he comes over to there. And now, uh, are first off, are you boosting it? No. Okay. That means he get if he did, if he was going to boost it, he could choose two of those, but not the same one. Mhm. Uh, so therefore, you get to choose one of those actions. Yep. Uh, do you need me to go over them or you got this? Interesting. I forgot I could do that. Maybe I should. And it's any battery. Yeah. Uh well, in this case, it has to be that battery cuz the other one's not active for you. I can live with that. I'm I'm making a card. So, you are boosting. I am going to boost it. You talk me into it. So, uh So, because he boosted it, it then goes here. Aha. So, he's going to lose one stress. Yep. And when a third one, that player will lose two stress. And that will now be active for anybody that does this means you get to draw two cards.

37:39 Sounds pretty nice. I mean, it doesn't suck, right? So, the two actions I'll do are first of all, I'm going to uh repair mom. Repair mom. Okay. So, titanium from you, not from the supply from me. Okay. Y puts it onto mom. Y and then he has a choice. either lowers one stress or take those three resource up to yes three resources from mom well an extra batter is mighty nice batteries are wonderful yeah that's interesting oh so that counts as a resource to take yeah cool all right let's do it okay so now to be clear this and this is an important point if Ken had a fourth action let's just indulge me let's say he did because he placed the battery there, which granted he would need a battery there to be able to place the fork. Just indulge me.

38:34 Let's say this were his first action. This is now active on a available to boost whatever the next action is. So it does chain in that regard. I also instantly become cooperative, right? Because he has more that changes it. You can't you don't get the voluntary choice until the end of phase four, but it happens automatically once you go above five. cross the threshold either direction. There you go. So, second action. My second action, I'm going to encourage mom to move. So, I'm going to take the number one here. Okay. So, flip a uh non-aggressive standard AI and she's going to move. All right. So, moving uh again, still straight. Y that will drop down. You notice he did. And there you go. She goes there. She is not left. Nope. The next time she moves, she will exit the hole. Assuming it's forward. Well, it always will be forward. It's always fun to lean that way. As soon as she doesn't retreat, right? Yeah. Yeah.

39:29 Uh, all right. And then I'm not going to retain this card. Okay, Paul, your honor, sir. So, let's see here. We're going to flip this over. And that's uh mining. So, I we are at pressure level three. That's going to give me four gas. Gas gas gas. And I will Yeah. And I will uh turn that I will return that back. Thank you. And this goes into my vault. And to answer salt, yes, Ken did lose that stress. I've watched John move it with my hand for replacing the battery. Yep. Good teamwork. All right, you're out of actions. We're all out of action. Out of actions. We're done. So, we go into phase quattro. Replicate your prepared batteries if you so desire. Um, you are never required. Just remember, it's a maximum of two. I'll keep it here. So, and then you may rearrange your batteries. And Ken needs to refill this. Paul needs to refill this. I I need a yellow and a black, please. I got you. Yellow and black. Black and yellow.

40:27 Black and yellow. Refill what now? That. Oh, yes. But you can replicate your batteries and rearrange on your track. Yeah. I'm going to put that right now. Hey, what's up, Jason? Happy Friday to you as well. Uh, mining here again is just one of these, correct? Okay. It's a slow process, but it's a I mean, yeah, these are actually established vaults. This you're making your own pathway is how I think of it. So, it's harder. Is everybody No, now we're prep. And now we're we're not prepping yet. Not yet. One thing at a time. Just making sure we're all on the same page. Yeah. All right. So, everyone's prepared batteries, rearranged batteries on your track. Now, you may rearrange your resources again, moving to the right if you so desire.

41:16 Liqufy, solidify, combine. Go for it. All that stuff. Get one beta matter. Oh, you got one. Oh, do I want to make a Do I want to make a battery? That's step one, by the way. That's rep. Oh, yeah. I I I could do that. So, I I apologize. That's You're doing it at the right time. I'm wrong. Okay. Okay, then. Go ahead. So, it's two silicon, two titanium. Yeah. Thank you. Those go away. John is lamenting his choices in life. No, I'm good. Okay, he's good. Good. Uh, Betabbot, is anybody at five? Okay, so now John chose at this point to be cooperative. Everybody is cooperative, their AI on all of their boards. So, go and point to yours, John, if you would. Right there. The reason everybody moved to cooperative is because if there are two people, if there are multiple beta bots together in an extraction vault, they get a free extract and they choose what level they extract at individually.

42:23 Whereas, if they're competitive, the one that is competitive punches the other loes a shield and the one that did the punching gets to extract, but only at the current level. The one who the one who got punched. Yeah. Oh, no. The one that got punched Yeah. took a damage. The one that did the punching gets to extract. Oh, boy. Okay. Okay. All right. So, that said, uh, where are we? We're done with phase four. Mhm. All right. We're into five. So, uh, this is really easy. Cylindroids. Okay, we can just move on. Mom didn't react. No. So, step one, mom goes ahead and does a standard AI. I'm going to go ahead and move this. Now, there we go. That goes down and mom moves. All right. Vacates. Now, I don't have all this written down, all the steps on this, so I'll go ahead and talk through this. Look this up. I move, too.

43:20 Okay. Oh, cuz you're inside of her. Yeah. All right. Yeah. To be clear, Ken is here, which is inside there, which means he moves. If I were riding on top of her, I would also move, right? Yeah. Fact. Okay. If Alphabot is in the exit square in the main vault and its next move be the entry square of the next vault. Yeah, there we go. Okay. Uh, so every time Alphabot leaves a main vault, follow these steps in order. Yeah. Advance the main vault marker to two. Done. Beta bots that are on top or inside, move with it. If your B beta bot uh is on the main vault that Alphabot just left, you go into no man's land. Y uh if it's in that it just moved to, it moves from here Mhm. two to be specific uh on the entry square of the main vault. So it would be in the same spot, not on top, but in the same spot because that's the uh you can be there as well.

44:25 Cylindroids would do things. Yep. Um they sort of get left behind depending on where they are in one of the other areas, right? Yeah. And uh boxes and hatch token that are on there go away. Then place a new hatch token face down. So this hatch token comes off. Yep. New hatch token comes on. We don't know what it is yet. There are 10 of them. Four of them were removed from the game because there are, wait for it, six vaults. So we don't know what those are. Okay. Uh, good to go. So that's it. That's uh it. So now we are done. By the way, a moment. We are not done. We did one there. Yep. Then we're going to go through the rest of that, which is eight or more shields. Yes. Okay, stop.

45:14 We're done. Okay, good. It almost wasn't. I fixed it. Yeah, that's why I was like, wait. Oh, no. I counted. Okay. Yeah. All right. Now, is anybody further than mom? No. Okay. So, hand size five or less. Turn order remains the same. New event. Flip it. Move all the ships. One pressure drops anticlockwise for the core. So, back to where it started. Yeah. Okay. And now beta matter comes out and then the hatch stays closed. Yep. And B comes out. So, these come out in B1. So, it looks like you're pointing to there and you're pointing to there and there and there and one up in the stress boy.

46:04 Stress boy. There we go. Oh, cheers. Right. B1. Yes. Facted. Okay. All that done. Done. All right. Those are the zeros. All right. Now, now everything else is whatever it might be. Okay. Now, also this tells you that things are a little bit more unstable. That was random. Uh what that means is the ships might not move at the same rate that they have been moving. Okay. There are zeros and twos. Yes. Yeah. Okay. All right. So, now draw cards. Now, I would like to point out Ken can draw three of the same or I'm sorry, three different or two of the same. Everybody else is one because they're not in the same segment as mom.

46:49 Or a reminder about So, do I need a movement point to move out of here? Yes. Where? Hold on. Where are you trying to move to? Somewhere in the vault. Yes, that is one movement point. Now, to be clear, an interact would let you move to there or stay there and do either of those. Y one a move let you move to movement, three movement looking at your batteries. One of which would be anywhere there, right? And then it's two, three to get out. Okay. Only because you were in the guts. Yeah. Okay. All right. All right. Cool. Uh, so I need the I need the fancy interact, please. Uh, fancy interact right here. Okay. And the movement. Okay.

47:37 And I don't know. Golly G. Um, let's take an ex let's take a mine. Yeah, this is the these are these are small. Yeah, I you have to constantly move them. Mart, that's a fair point. Okay. Uh, who are you? Paul, that's me. Yeah, that is you. Boosted move, please. You got to move it. Move it. Oh, there we go. Congratulations. He's like, "Hey, that's all right." Okay. Actually, I don't even Yeah, but you might want it now. Yeah. Oh, right. You're drawing one card. That's right. Yeah. So, you, sir. Oh, only one. Yeah. God, I want that card so bad. But that wouldn't make any sense. I need to like do stuff this round. So, Oh, look at you. Wow. You are such a If you take a bunch of stress, problem solved. So now go ahead and program your stuff,

48:38 y'all. I really really like this game a lot and I I am kind of jealous over you guys, but there's also no way that I would have been able to run this on a subsequent stream that I would like to. I'll I'll play. But it's it's more fun for the players too that some you have someone going through there. Yeah. It's it just expedites things. Can I can I pause for one second? Do I have a choice? Yes. No, you don't have a choice. Okay. What? We are saying Alphabot, not Alphaba. Anyone who is familiar with Wicked, like my daughter watching at home. Okay. All right. Fair enough. Your daughter needs a clarification. Yeah. Yeah. We're talking about Alphabot. A not. Right. There we go. Also also known as Megatron. Oh, that's true. Megatron or mom. Uh, all right. Ken, you're up. Okie dokie. I'm going to move. Okay. You What's your movement?

49:25 Uh, three. Okay. Are you boosting to move? Uh, no. Okay. Um, so what happens if I I land here and the vault is closed? Nothing. And then it opens. You take We don't know. Yeah. Yeah. Potent. I potentially could take damage. There are three other vaults where I might take damage. Uh, one, two, three, four. There's some you get sh one of one of them's gone, right? So, so more likely that I wouldn't than I would, but then I could also just move here and there's no risk. When you say risk, yeah, what do you mean by risk? I mean like things can happen, but you're not going to take damage from the hatch directly and you are also not adjacent to the hatch to mine it, right? But I need to be adjacent to this stuff. Okay. I mean, this is an option, but also same problem that you're in right now. So, yeah. I don't I I I don't Another thing I have no idea about is like what's going on with that? Like, does the hatch open half the time? Yeah. Who knows? We don't know, right? So, um you know what?

50:35 You're right. You only live once. We We'll land on the hatch. OG says, "I know heavy cardboard is all about showing games you can't get, but this is just cruel." That That's unintentional with this game, though. Yeah, it seems like nobody can get this game. I I have drawn it out as long as I can, y'all. I have I'm actually to Hold on. Uh, let me address that real quick. I We originally were ready to stream this way back in December. And then Two Tomatoes asked us to wait until March and then I dragged my feet in March because, you know, the the the weight the the shipping logistics is is a problem. And so, um, we, this is, yeah, this is time. It's time. So, here we are. So, that's why. All right. We did try though.

51:23 Uh, so yeah, guaranteed to have a copy at Heavycon. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, I cannot retain this card. You cannot pull over there. Okay. So, I'm here and I'm going to mine, baby. So, I'm going to get two gas and a titanium. Uh, that is a fact. And I'm going to spend a titanium to keep this card. So, because we're at pressure level two. Yeah. Okay. Thank you, John. You're up. All right. I don't need to increase my stress because I'm going to mine and boost it with the gray battery that's in there. Okay. So, boosting that will go away. So, let's go ahead and I think this works. Let me maybe have to move that down a little. Hey, that worked. Yeah. All right. So he mines this twice and so therefore he's going to take two cards. They must be different. And then this will immediately flip. And when that does that lock is no moss. Yeah.

52:25 And now whenever anybody is here depending on the Yep. You get it, John. Not a bad time to take two different cards. I know. So, I'm going to think the mind and the movement that also that also uh it paid off. Well, well done. Clever move. Clever move. And are you keeping the card taking a shield damage? Okay. All right. I have a boosted mine. Okay. And that will allow me to attack one of those nasty Autobots fact. So, it must be a boosted uh extract mine. attack action, whatever you want to call it, you can attack one of them that is disarmed. So therefore, you can capture, disintegrate, or uh scrap. Yes. And you're going to lose at least one stress, maybe two, depending on which of those you choose. Okay. Uh well, so I'm going to attack the the bomb because I think it's it's prospects for long-term nastiness are worse, okay, than the minor. Um, and so, uh, I will let me have that. Take this guy off the board.

53:36 And I think I'm going to scrap. Okay. So, scrapping it is going to reduce his stress by one. And he's going to get a gas, an acid, and two lava. I've got a gas, an acid, and two lava over here. So, I can just put these on. There we go. And drop one stress drop, you said, right? Yes. And then I will retain this lovely card by spending a titanium and and gaining gaining two stress. Yeah. So, okay. All right. Uh that's less problem out there. So, well done y'all. And Paul. Oh, you what? He kept the card. Yeah. Yeah. Uh we're going to do this. That's a boosted move. So, up to four. Good sir. Uh let's see.

54:23 Hey, hey, Duchess Shrimp Poof, welcome. Thanks for the raid. Who is that? Trombone Doll Corin Corane. What's up? Appreciate it. We are playing a little light euro. Yeah. Called stress. One, two, three. So, I'm coming in from here. Okay. Yep. From the entrance, which puts me right there. And I have one more movement point. If you wish, you can move anywhere within that space. I do wish. Um, now that space. Interfacing with mom does not require me to be on top of No, you have to be either in the same spot. Adjacent or on top of? I think we'll just go on top. Why not? All right. Cool. Done. And I will not uh keep this card. Okay, John, you're up. All right. So, I have an interesting decision now. I have a question. So, why is there a connect action on here when it's just the two minds?

55:21 flips. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, I could go up there now, but this is now considered ahead of her. Quite far ahead. One, two, three, four. You take four. If you're interested in in the lead. Yeah. If you want to go first, uh, you can't do that. If you want to go second, you could do that. Yeah. So, I think I'm actually going to, um, I think, yeah, it's basically thinky filler. OG original planer and I think I'm just going to join for Yakob. Wow. Yeah. Party with mom. And you came in from the entrance. So it goes right there. Now to be clear, you did a move. Your movement is two. You can move anywhere. You just obviously cannot move on top. But you may move anywhere you wish. Anything less than six hours is a gateway game. Yeah. For for Yakob 100%.

56:14 Yeah. So, I can move anywhere I wish. Anywhere within the console. Yes. And it doesn't seem like being with mom has been terrible yet. Unless she gets haywire. Yeah. If she Yeah, she freaks out. Is there anything good that happens being right next to her? I don't uh Yes, I believe you get to draw cards potentially. And yeah, sometimes it's if you're adjacent, sometimes it's if you're in the same location or anywhere in the main goal. Shitch is not terrible, so I'll just stay there. And I'm gonna retain this card for a black cube. Okay. Uh, and if I if I didn't explicitly say, you are always free to look at your programmed cards. Obviously, it's not a memory game in that regard. All right. Okay. So, I've got a boosted connect. Yep. Uh, and that's going to allow me to take this box and see see what see what we got here. Yep.

57:07 Yep. Nope. That's right. Okay. Card numbers. Uh it's one of them I know the other one is uh C06 stress hack permanent. Each time you would increase your stress level before increasing it you can spend two silicon to reduce your stress by one. So basically it doesn't negate the gaining structs. It just lets you reduce one before you gain. Yeah that's that's how I'm gathering that. That's how I'm reading that. Yeah. All right. So, I'm not going to um I'm gonna I guess I'll take stress hack. I'm not super psyched about it. Um and I don't need uh Yeah, you don't have any programmed. So, yeah. Uh okay. So, I'm I'm putting this one away. Yep. Bottom deck. I'm going to find these. I don't have any programmed.

58:06 I might put it in here anyway. You just lose the bonus. I just lose the bonus. I need to look at the rule book. It's not affecting anybody else. Okay. Does that make sense? Sure. Because I might put it on top. Okay. It depends on something. Okay. Next stuff out. It's right there. All right. Make sure the guy is teaching the rules doesn't find out. Uh I can't I can't keep this. Okay. Uh Paul, you're up. Interface. That's not the rule book. The rule book is about 40 pages and it's next. This is the one I want though. Oh, the reference guide. Okay, sir. Interface. Interface. Okay. So, where would you like to interface? Would you like the console? The console, please. You are purple. Yeah. Come on over. Uh, if you boost it, couple of things are going to happen.

58:55 Yeah. Uh, you will lose no stress because you were maxed. Y, but it will activate this for the console. Yeah. I'm sorry, for the server. This just hit. I'm placing it here. Okay. for foregoing these. Wow. No, ju just the top bonus. Okay. Yeah. So, which action could I do this immediately? I don't know what the No, it's only here. Yeah. Okay. All right. That's fine. Yeah. Still worth it. All right. So, which of the four actions if you're not boosting it, sir? Now, um if I'm if I boost it, you can do two different. Yeah. The way that if I boost it, I can do two different. Interesting. Okay. Okay. You have a lot of titanium right now. I do have a lot of titanium, but a lot. And I could help. I could repair mom, but to no. It would literally not help me at all. Oh, cuz there's nothing in here. Correct.

59:47 Um, if I boost it um where I'm standing, I could do two different things. You could do a standard AI action. Yeah, I think I I think I'm I'm inclined to you also change your direction. I mean that you can take the you can take that one. So that's that. So here's what I want to do and you tell me if I can do it. I want to do option number four. Mhm. Option number four says I can use the items up in the stress boy. No. No. Here. Okay. The stress boy is only for up top. Yeah. Okay. So then um then that means that option four is right out because I can't afford anything. I can't afford the standby item. In fact, he does not have no beta matter which means I I have no need to boost the item unless I move down to here. And if I boost it, I put it here, forgo the minus two because I'm already at zero. But that fills that up.

1:00:45 I will get one card and then a second card from the same. Not exactly. You will get those two or those two. Yeah, cuz they're buckets. That's that's what I mean is is that I will get and then you may purchase one of these. It just seems like a waste to do that. So, a battery for a whole bunch of nothing. So, I think I'm going to do a standard AI card. Moving mom. Yeah, moving mom. Hopefully moving. Well, we don't know. We'll see. We'll see. Uh, it appears she's shooting up batteries. Batteries everywhere. Batteries for everyone. Card number seven. Picture. That's so good. Alphabot produces one titanium for its tank. and one for each beta bot in the main vault. Nice. I'm glad I can. What about me? You're in the main vault. I am in the main vault. Okay, that's good. All right, let's say that was fun. Did you get your titanium? One titanium battery, right? Oh, yeah. Battery for you. Here you go. Let's say No, I can't go on top.

1:01:42 No, I can't. That I don't have a place to put it. Can I I can't choose to discard one of these, right? Oh, this is came up. All right. We've never had this problem. Yeah, I know. Fernando/J. Yeah, Ken's getting a new battery. He cannot place it on eight because his shield is not high enough. Yeah. The question is, can he keep the titanium and forego one of the others? I believe my gut says the answer is no. You don't get the That was my gut, too. There are some games where you just leave it over here and wait for the response. There we go. There are some games where it's like, what's the more flexible option? And you're like, oh, it's probably it. This is not that game. Yeah. Well, it's not that this game is mean either. It's just logical.

1:02:29 Yeah. Are you keeping Yeah, I'm going to keep that card. No, sir. Oh, it has to be one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, that one. Okay. Problem solved. That's That's the answer we thought. Yep. It makes sense. Okay. Yeah. I know. And again, kind of like you cannot throw away anything in your supply. You can't. Same same idea there. Y Okay. Uh Okay. Time to replicate batteries. So, make your batteries people if you have them here. Make your batteries people. No, none of us do. Yeah. Okay. You can rearrange your battery tracks and then combine beta matter cuz you guys don't have any lava really. So I have lava now to be Now Paul has an interesting decision. I I think is he can roll one of his resources up.

1:03:29 Yeah to turn that two lava though with that will turn into a three lava and then we'll turn into a beta matter. I'll do that. Okay. So that technically becomes three lava. Yeah. Yeah. And then two three. Right. And then it's going to turn into one beta matter and go away the other lava. And then this lava is going to go away. done. Okay. So, once everyone's done with that, you can combine your beta matter for battery prep or combine it with gas nas acid. G gas. I think I said gas. So, gas. Why would that third lava have gone away? Um cuz I knew two of them made solidified. Uh because uh I know they can't exist together. That's I think that's chiefly why. Well, all the lava goes away. It solidifies. Oh, no matter what, it just lava solidifies. Okay. And if it's Well, I know it's two to solidify a beta matter. So, if there's an extra one, it just goes away. Yeah. Okay. I've learned to trust what other people have to say about what happens with lava after I got into a little bit of an argument with the designer of the game and I was wrong the whole time. All right, everyone done with all of that? Uh, prepping prepping batteries. Uh, I think I'm good. I'm good. You're not. And you're not going to combine the silicon or tight or gas?

1:04:45 No, I don't. No, because I I find that beta matter is useful to have if you only have one in case maybe I buy something. Awesome. All right. Is uh everyone's AI correct? Your your battery tracks. Uh yellow needs to fill this. And now you don't have to slide them. You can place whatever you want. Yeah, you get the idea. Okay, so now you are at five. Yeah, I'm going to stay there. Okay, good. All right, so we're done with phase four. Moving on to phase five. Cylindroids. All right, so this guy activates. So he will attack. He's a minor. Same or adjacent. You lose one shield. So just me, not mom. Correct. All right. So I lose one shield. Okay, done. It attacked. Therefore, it does not move.

1:05:37 Mom does not react because she wasn't she didn't lose any shields. So therefore we are now moving on now to drawing a standard. Uh hold on. Yeah. When we drew that that dropped. Okay. Just making sure. Yep. Now we will draw this. Mom's going to move two spaces. Turbo jump. Uh and to be clear that is a forward movement. That forward movement she is currently here. So, she will move one, two, straight to the exit. Yep. Yep. And not and jumping, not smashing anything in her way. Right. Uh, what card number is that? Just to be clear, it is five. Number five says, moves two squares but skips the first square, i.e. she jumps hurdles. Okay, done. This would drop, but it's already capped out. Yeah. So, now I still don't understand where those numbers come into play. Have they Have they not come into play yet? I know.

1:06:32 They haven't yet. They haven't yet. Uh, now is mom at eight or more shields? Yes, she's at eight. We stop. Done. We go into phase six. Alphabot distance. Is anybody ahead? Now, everybody's with mom, so we don't need to worry about that. Five cards or less and turn order stays the same. We go another round. We got the event. Go. All right. This is the first uh All right. So, here we go. The probe moves it two. Uhoh. Most the scout moves one and the freighter. Freighter, thank you. Is one. So now pressure and tectonics done. So now we have what do we have? We have a titanium battery. Yeah. Uh okay. And then what else? It's gas and lava. Acid and acid. I'm sorry. Acid because that's going to open. We're going to wait a second. Yeah, that's okay. All right. So nothing up there. Right. So, battery. All right. So, we will got one there. I think that's the only one. No, there's a gas that goes there. Nothing there.

1:07:47 There. And it is two acid there. So, and no gas. So, that's it. Okay. So, the battery goes away. Okay. So now the hatch it said nothing comes out. Y'all see that, right? So once again, wow, this is the complete antithesis of our last game. We were overwhelmed. Oh, yeah. Like mom was having a hell of a day. She was she was struggling. So all right, go ahead. Flip it. All right. So that is uh your choice here. Go and throw back on it. All right. Um good news. You were not going to lose a shield. So it is this kind of titanium silicon pit. So whenever you extract you can extract one of those.

1:08:36 However, if you are on there like Ken is you can extract two of that type including one of each. That is a good question and that is a question for say John or Fernando. Is it one of each? I my guess is no. My guess is two of whatever it is that you're mining. That isable I think. What is the shield? I know it's a positive shield. So I don't think it means you gain a shield. I think it just means No, it just means you don't take a shield damage. So yeah, no no no harm, no foul. Okay, so that card is done. We are now into phase two. Everybody can draw three different or two of the same. All right, start again. Uh I'd need a um what would it connect do? I I feel like it's got a good flow to it. It it does. I I'd asked earlier today, John, um for experienced players, they can play 45 minutes per player, which is pretty good. That feels like experienced players base game or two moves, please.

1:09:37 Two moves. Yep. Move it. Move it. Hot damn. Uh all right. Two the same or three different, sir. Let's go three different. Okay. So, here's one. There's one. Just a hunch. Yeah. Uh I'll take a connect. Yes, sir. And I'll take a mine. Yes, sir. John, thank you. I will take three different. So, I'll take a connect a um I should have said two. It's the same. Um the bottom one, the interact interact. And I'll take a mine, please.

1:10:24 Okay. You're welcome. Ken, I don't know if it's necessarily me. We'll find out. Yeah, we'll find out. So, what do y'all think everybody at home so far? It's been a really chill game. Like, it's been really almost anticlimactic. I would like to point out that the next event is a standard event which means to the best of my knowledge everybody's going to move one which means the probe is going to be available for delivery for acid gas and beta matter next round. Yes. Okay. So the problem is there's no easy way to get up there. That doesn't sound like a problem. It does when you have a bunch of stuff ready to deliver. Oh, more sympathy. One, two, three, four, five, six. You need six movement and you can get there. Don't have it. I'm just saying. One, two, three, four, five, six. Yeah, don't have it. Well, just just Okay. By the way, you can choose one of each. Oh, for side. Sorry. Cool. And a question. So, when we spend batteries to buy these, um, can they be in any spot or just a just, um, it's anywhere? You own them. Yeah, you're fine. So, program your stuff if you haven't. You guys are.

1:11:45 Okay, good. Yeah, let's just do that and see what happens. Ready? Okay. Ready. Hey, Elk. Have a great evening. Thanks for hanging out. I know it's late over there. All right. Okay. Okay. I'm going to do a regular mine. Okay. And so that's a plus one. So you get Yeah. One of each. However you want. Follow your heart. I think titanium's one a little harder to come by and two a little better. So I'm going to take two titanium. Okay. Done. And I'm going to go ahead and do it like and that's because he's on the hatch itself. All right. Uh not retaining.

1:12:31 Whoop. Interract. Interact. Damn. And we're gonna do the same thing. We're going to do another standard, I think. Okay. Oh. All right. Uh, so he's staying there, not moving. Okay. Go. Okay. Uh, that is card number 10. And again, the nice thing about this is they're all listed right here. Yeah, there we go. There. And there. So, this one is each beta bot in the main vault may draw two action cards of their choice. Wow, this is a permissive game today. In this great a turn always turn I would argue it would be turn order, but my thinking is the active player. Oh, I guess that matters. Yeah, it does. It does. It do matter. It It definitely matters. Yeah, I was thinking about something else. Well, we're all drawing a card. Is that what No, you're all drawing two cards. But, but what order? It's in turn order. The question is, does it start with player number one? I think it should start with the active player cuz they're the one that triggered it. That's turn order. Turn order.

1:13:44 Starting with one or starting with the active player. Turn order is turn order. Turn order is turn order. I'll go ahead. You tried both. I mean, I did try. Okay. So, pause. Yeah. Now, now that we have the uh the this unveiled Okay. This is a do a thing. And then So, go ahead and shuffle. Yeah. So, shuffle up. Yeah. I think Ken's going to get another boon. What is this? That is uh that that is that one. You're going to be able to take this in phase three. It's No, it's whatever comes out of the hatch. I think Alphabot picks up whatever's in the Alphabot picks up. Yeah. Uh programming. I'm looking. Do you see these? It's gonna be It's gonna be when you draw right here. Yeah. Right here. Uh page 37.

1:14:36 Here we go. Deck end event. Any chance we can not put those on that for a second? Sure. Yeah. Done. Uh, so this is the mining. Alphabot obtains resources from the hatch regardless of the square it's on and whether the hatch is open or not. Place them in Alphabot's tank up to its maximum capacity. If Alphabot's on the hatch, it does not lose shield even if the hatch is open and deals damage. So who So which one does it take? Both of them or I reckon it takes both. It takes both. So that's funny though. Even if So titanium, please. If this was closed and we didn't know what it was, we would have to look. Yeah, we would. Huh. That would be the edge case in that. Yeah. Yeah. Common system driven event. It doesn't target the player who triggered it.

1:15:23 Okay, fair enough. So, hey, another reason to be more stressed out. Yep. Okay. So, now I get to choose two cards. You do in fact get to choose two cards. Leave me a good one. I'm going to take this one and I'm going to take this one. Oh, too or two different. Well, that's a good question. What? Uh, that's it's right there. It looks like it is. Doesn't say. It doesn't say say two different. So, two stuff out. I next time. Yeah. Though I am going to say you need to declare before you draw. Oh. Oh, fair enough. That's fair enough. It was definitely my intention to take two of these no matter what. Well, obviously cuz they weren't boosted. So, I get that. I'm just being clear on that. Um, so now we have a third one. The move one says, "Alphabot moves to the exit square of the main vault." Done. Already there though. So, okay, that's that. Okay. Oh, nope. Two different. Has to be two different. Okay. Put these back. I'll reshuffle them again. Okay. So, that would be ideally we'd update the iconography there a little bit. Yep. I think so. Give me the card. Oh, boy. I have zero qualms.

1:16:35 I've already screwed that one up on for it to look like uh I don't know. There's an equal symbol sign with a line. Yeah. So, this will be equal with the not line there. There you go. Done. Uh I'll take that. So, for those that freak out, there you go. Put it back down there. All right. I'll take There you go. See, it's not so bad, but it's on there. I'll take that interact that he revealed the interact. Okay. And I will take the connect. There we go. Okay. All right. Which that Hey, now everybody knows that there's only one card here, right? So the fact that it's common knowledge like the the what's printed on the board doesn't change. Y if she leaves Yeah.

1:17:26 you could then fast forward it. Right. That's what I'm Right. Mhm. So just just FYI, that wasn't she leaves. That just lets her go to the end, right? So if she if you get her to move here, then you might actually two vults. Yeah. Uh okay. So that was it's now John's turn, right? We know that because an interesting wrinkle of the game. I was anticipating what Paul was going to do and he didn't do what I was expecting him to do. Okay. Because I thought you were gonna go here. Yeah. So I had programmed the rest of my actions based on that. So yeah. Psych. Um, but if I go here, do I get that stuff by doing that? Yeah, just by even if I can't take the action. And then if I discard this, I can still take this. You don't discard. No, you take it back in your hand. I can still do this one later. Of course. Okay. All right.

1:18:13 So, let's do that. I am yellow. I'm going to move up here. So, what's your movement just to be clear? One, two. Um, based on this. So, you have moved here. Would you like any or all of that? I'm going to take it all. Okay. You sure are yummy. Now, by doing that, people are preventing these from flipping, but they get bonus resources. So, there's that, right? Make that like a ringtone or something. Uh, are you retaining the cards, sir? Um, no. I have a lot of cards now. Okay. So, the problem go any yet. All right. Hey, look. It's a boosted mine. Oh, okay. So, that would be three resources. Uh or murdering that that no before probably before resources. But yeah, uh instead we're gonna go ahead and murder that cylinder. Take that minor out.

1:19:07 Okay. S or minor murder. Yeah. Uh major minor murder. So major minor trying to strike a cord. A bonus mine or connect action sounds like just what the doctor ordered. Okay. So, he is going to capture it. So, he loses one stress to be clear. Yeah. And then he's capturing it so it stays on his board. And at the end of any action on a subsequent turn, it's his job to say, "Hey, whoa, not so fast. I'm going to take that action." And that action is a connect or a mine. Yes. Sorry. There you go. There. Okay. Uh, and I just got another one of these fancy mine cards, so I'm going to let this one rock. Okay, must be nice.

1:19:59 Uh, we've got ourselves a boosted move. Looks like uh quattro moveo if you want to. Uh, um, do I do I still do I still want to do that? Yeah, pick up and deliver. It's 4.86 on BG. Yeah, it's a big boy game. This is Yeah, it's a pickup and deliver. It really is with a little bit more. Thanks for not spitting all over the table on that. There are I call it a pick up and deliver. Pick up. Pick up and deliver aspects. I'm going to throw it away. All right. So, you are purple. Yeah, you are. Oh, so he's back up. So, ju just to be clear because this is Oh, perfect. No, this works out perfect.

1:20:45 Yeah. Yeah. So, I'm just letting everyone know. So to move, yeah, if you were here, it's normal movement. And to go, it would be one, two. But because he's up in them guts of the alphabet in the hall, it is one in here. Yeah. Why? I don't know. Look, I'm just And then from there, I'm just I'm just crushing them. Two. So now that will go over to there. Yep. And that that that's all that just pointing out that boosted worked out great. The boo if you hadn't boosted it, you couldn't have made it. You would be right there. 100%. Yeah. Or I'd be up in the the lava lava town. Yeah. I don't I don't get it down. I am taking this back. You're taking that back into your hand. All right. Let's take you to Lava Town.

1:21:44 All right. Ken moving. I'm moving. So, and here here's the difference. Just hanging out in the vault, you get Yeah. three movement. Some acid. You could boost it to move six. Oh, that's interesting. I forgot that we I could go there and we could we could team up. It's a lot of good stuff in there. It's not that far. It's three silicon. Yeah, it is three silicon or three acid or three acid or a beta and an acid. we're talking about here and this would be the first time we we've seen that we've shown this but I mean what I was going to do is move into the hole since Paul vacated it right um but you know you talked me into it John yeah I'll come join you all right so moving to one two going to acidopoulos Mhm.

1:22:38 Okay. So, moving to acidopoulos here. So, when a player moves uh at the end of their turn of their movement, they have an AI comparison with if you want to compare AI does not have a choice. It's not a contest. If was on the same location with all three or in a four-player game, all four. You choose a player to compare it with. It really only matters when you're on the hash. Oh, you can compare them to be clear, right? Cool. But uh here compare AI, they are both cooperative. So because they are both cooperative, they both get a free mine action at any pressure level. And then these are depending on how this works out. Again, if you're cooperative against an aggressive, uh that's that's not so good for you. No.

1:23:30 So this happens in wait for it turn order. So I will take three acid. Three acid for red yellow. What do you want, man? I got two of them here. So, oh, here three. And you got more over there. Hang out over here. Yep. Silicon seems pretty good because you do have There's not a wrong answer. Three silicone is definitely not terrible. It's probably harder to get than three acid. I'll think the I'm not trying to tell you. I was going to ask you what you think. The Beta Matter also is a Don't sleep on it. Oh, cuz I can make batteries. Because you can make batteries. But I don't know. I I I I I'm not playing your game. I'm not watching it that closely. It's just But the other thing is there's a ton here. I know. But that's going to be only one person can do that. There is a ton. That one person could be you, John, of lava available for people. So getting lava turns into beta matter, but it's a matter of steps.

1:24:27 Again, I am not trying to dissuade you. I'm simply pointing it out. I'm just trying to think here. Um, I'll take the three silicon. I I assumed, but I just wanted you to at least consider it. So, that was the end of your move. Are you keeping it? Um, nah. All right. Rod says, "Does anyone know the date of the US release? It's a mystery to everybody, but it should be theoretically soon. That's why we timed this the way we did. We got this. We got a mining action. I will take that beta matter. Okay. If you don't beta, it don't matter. All right. Um, and let's see. Do I want to keep that?

1:25:13 And John, while he's debating that, see, it's funny. I was going to go there to mine and I didn't have to because we're friends. Yep. All right. So, now I'm going to That is a boosted move. So, you can move up to four spaces. So, we're going to go one, two, three, four. All right. He has come. Oh, all of a sudden you got a lot of stuff you could potentially buy a Yeah. All right. Oh, can I ask you um I don't care. So, this is all three of these full. Yes. Okay. Um that's what I looked up earlier. I was going to do that, too, but I mean I don't think anyone's really coming after. Are you keeping the card, sir? Uh I cannot. All right. So, we are at the end of the actions. Uh, okay. Create your batteries and then rearrange your battery. And, uh, don't forget you may re rearrange the one that's there if you want. Yeah.

1:26:14 I think it's still probably right. Yes. Shroom poof. I believe it's all related. Canad Canadia, the great white north. E, and the US. I believe. I'm not. Look, I am not two tomatoes. I'm just the dude streaming the games, but I that's my guess. Okay. Is it Let me know when y'all are done with that. I'm good.

1:26:43 You, John? Me? Are you done? Yeah. Paul, done. Okay. Oh, yeah. I was supposed to I'm done. Thanks. Uh, nobody's got any lava, do they? So, we can skip everything. Combine your beta matter if you want. It looks like you all have already done No, I did this. Well, some of us are following directions. Thank you, Paul. Oh, no. You're just not combining it. Okay, never mind. Uh, batteries. John, do you wish to switch your AI? Everyone else must be co-op. You said no. Correct. Okay, we move into phase five. Cylindroid activation. Okay, we're good there. Yeah. Uh, Alphabot doesn't react. However, Alphabot will flip a standard. Yeah.

1:27:30 Shooting out batteries. Nobody gets anything. Mama does. Yeah. So, so all right. But that's it. Okay. So, there are benefits to being with mom, right? Yeah. Uh, she's at eight or more shields. We're good. Done. You're good at this game. Me? Yeah. You're gonna make a big ass big delivery next if I if I can make it work. Ken doesn't get in there before me. Well, John, I can't wait to see. I can't I'm fine waiting because I know what's going to happen. So, I could too. I know. Paul is going to release the vault. I see. Yeah. And then you come screaming on by. Yeah, I see that. Yeah, I know. Okay. Okay. Just Just saying. So, I don't think it's going to be you is what I'm saying now. It's probably not going to be me. This is the first time things are going Well, hold on. Things are going to change.

1:28:19 Mhm. Because we now check stress in relation to Alphabot. Alphabot is here. Now red while is up on the M up on the crust is still south of the lock. So therefore is considered in the same area. So no penalty there. But then uh yellow is going to take one stress. Now is this in turn order? It is technically in turn order. And purple is going to take two stress. Yeah. One, two, and one. And Yep. So one, two, and one. So stay the same. Okay, that's fine. But I just wanted the reason is because you were further into unexplored territory from where mom turn wouldn't really matter cuz if I went first, he would have pushed me. Exactly. So yeah. So uh hand size might matter. You were allowed five. I got my five. I have six. Okay.

1:29:09 Um and then turn order stays the same although it's close. See? Uh, okay. So, now we go into a new event. All right. Everything moves one. So, the probe is available for delivery this round. All right. Then, uh, there will be no auto production. There is no pressure, no seismic change. However, the hatch if it wasn't open would open. It's It is open. And then A and B. So a moment the cylindroid belt, the first one, these are going to A1 and then these are going to B1.

1:30:05 B1 what? I'm just kidding. Pain in the butt. Okay, so that's it. The card's done. All right, drawing cards. Uh Ken is drawing two different sir. I will take a move. And now that triggers mom goes to no to the exit square, but she's already there. We talked about this. Shuffle the moves, please. Y and uh for my other one, I'll take uh mine. Yeah, take a mine. Is that Can that be right? No, I'll take an interact. Okay, interact. All right. Now, Paul and John are both way they're pass mom. So, one card, sir. Put one card.

1:31:01 Yeah, I think this will be useful at some point. So, I'll just take that. Okay. I mean, it doesn't hurt, right? Doesn't hurt. I will take a move, please. Go. All right. Program your stoves. So, you all enjoying it? Everybody, we're going to unlock it.

1:31:38 I'm really enjoying the the tenseness that is coming from the left side of the table. I man I am I am fighting for my life in my own brain here. Yeah, this is great. I'm enjoying I'm working on it. And I like that I'm not slowing it down. If anything, I'm speeding things up instead of slowing it down. So that's positive. Which you can. You just need to make sure that this is a black instead of a Yeah, I know. But also it's fine. All right. I understand the u sugar and caffeine today. Yeah. Implication. Cool. And then up at 8 for the interview tomorrow morning at 10:00 the interview. Oh, right. Yeah. And then two Aegis theme maps tomorrow. And then Molly House Sunday.

1:32:28 I'm earning my money. So close to the end though. Yeah. The prescription drug. Look at that number. 797. Can I see what is on the other side of this? Sure. Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty good. Yeah, they're all pretty decent. Okay. All right. That's okay.

1:33:02 All right. We good? Yeah. All right. Can make it happen. Yeah. What? Moving. All right. Move it. And your movement is three currently, right? Three. Okay. So, I will move in a way that lands me right on top of mom. One, two. So, two. Now, to be clear, came in from here. Again, I'm not trying to be pedantic here. I'm just really trying to So, so moving is two to there. But now he has one movement left. So, you can now to be clear also can move anywhere including adjacent. don't have to be on mom, but you're immune from the cylinder damage being on mom there. And only one player can be. So, there's that. All right.

1:33:47 Well, that's another benefit of being on top of Alphabot. Yes. Cinder damage. Yeah. Uh, sir, you retaining the card or not? And pull it. It is your honor, sir. I'm going to take this back. John, you're just you're all up in your head over there. It is. All right. I'm glad I got there. I'm glad I got in your head. Did you? Why? Well, cuz he's he's John's taking an an object right now. Oh, yeah. In item. So, okay. And then he's moving. All right. So, that's a connect action, which you need a connect action to be able to do this because it's a connect, right? All right. The pressure level is currently two. So, straight up paying face value.

1:34:33 However, however, if you wish to boost the action, okay, so this is to be able to take one of these four. If you boost it, you can use any and all resources that are here in the stress boy as it is just the beta matter, which yeah, helps with that, but that's it. Um, you may you may use that. May we go over them because I've been looking at them and I just uh Yeah, it's all right. Give me some numbers. Uh, X17. What this one says is when you gain a battery, it can go in here. Okay. And these can be both of these can be used to boost actions, right? Which would have been good say earlier for Ken's sake. This one I'm guessing is you can spend stress for batteries. Use a connect action to spend stress or stress and shield for batteries, which is pretty good actually. That's pretty tasty. It's also It's also four points. And I can get some turn order action. It's also very expensive.

1:35:29 Yeah, but I h I have Yeah, I mean if you if you got it right. I'm saving up for these. So, all right. Give me some other numbers here, guys. Uh 39 is you can use a connect and a gas to either attack a beta bot or sweep up or Yeah. Yeah. I think that must be a hatch action. But it scrap or disintegrate the cylindroid. Ah, okay. So you can do a connect and you cannot capture connect and a gas to treat it as if it were a boosted mine for the That doesn't look like a capturing. Yeah. Capturing module. Yeah. And then this is spend a card. Spend spend a shield damage to I don't I I can't tell what that is. Okay. What number is that? Fine. X05. X05 is discard hack permanent. Each time you return an action card to your hand after using it, you may lose a shield. You may lose a shield, but if you do perform the corresponding deck end event. Oh, neat.

1:36:30 So, the thing that's printed underneath these and I can just tell you. All right. So, I think I'm going to take the stress inverter. Oh, of course. That seems like the the best one. Two yellow. Two silicon, a yellow battery, and the exo matter. Yep. And the exo matter. All right. Well done. The batteries do in this case conveyor down immediately, right? Yeah. And I couldn't spend the one that was in there, right? You are now you are now in aggressive mode, but you do get a free battery. Oh, no. Sorry. That's not the one. So, this one I could I could make a battery or get a shield. Ah, no. Both. It's both. I believe you get to do both, right? So, you can make that battery, which is a gray battery I got you. titanium and then get a shield back and then gain a shield. So you're pegged on shield and now again you don't change your AI right now. It's at the end of phase four unless you get another battery. Well, it's weird. So So it would stay here cuz I went down. No, because Hold on. The moment you went down, it moved. Okay. So now it just stays. It's an automatic thing. And now I can take a connect action and spend stress and get some batteries, which seems pretty good. That seems fantastic. That seems really good.

1:37:41 Don't have to spend resource to get batteries is nice. I don't Yeah. And if I want to get up in turn order and I just for sure, you know. So that is this action there. Are you keeping retaining the cards, sir? Um no. Okay. Uh earlier Yakob asked, "Uh, how many new patrons have we gotten during the drive?" Um ask me on a day that isn't today. I have no clue. I've been I've been here since 8:00 a.m. I don't know. Uh I haven't looked. I've been focused on the game. I apologize. Um, sir, taking a boosty connect action. Okay, you are Where are you? You are here. Okay, I'm going to pick up this. Okay, the X. Draw two. Uh, give me numbers if you need letters cuz I can't remember what that's C. I think one of them is lava thrower. It is C24. Okay, that says permanent. You can store up to one lava in this item. Okay. Activated. When activated, spend a lava from this item to deal one damage to a Beta Bot, Alphabot, Elite Cylindroid, or disintegrate a cylind. And it can't be the elite. Your target must be in your vault. So, Chucks Lava. That's awesome.

1:38:56 It's kind of cool. That is. The other one is Hatch Hacks C05. And this one Oh, it it lets you turn the hack hatch on and off. Uh, connect action and extract produce or extract produce in it. and then close it. That's pretty cool. Yeah, those are both those are pretty great. Yeah, I'm gonna take the lava thrower. Okay, I'm gonna forgo my bonus. Oh, that wounds me. Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and lock that down there. Um, but also it just looks badass. I now have three equipped items, which was that was the that was the idea. Yeah, we right for your secondary delivery at the end of the game. Exactly. Right. Yeah. Okay. And I can't can I can't keep that. So, it's going away. All you're up.

1:39:42 Ah. So, this was a mine. It was a mine. Yeah. All right. So, uh I'm mining. I'm going to mine this. I'm going to take that. Yep. I'm going to put that. And if I can beg your patience before you go and flip this. Absolutely. I'm put that right there. There we go. So, uh when that happens, you immediately reduce your stress by two. two, please. Back to zero. Yeah. And then that will flip. And importantly, the lock comes off. And the lock comes off. And it's permanent. Like once the lock is gone, it's gone. So all done mining all of that, y'all. Yeah. Okay. Uh and then I will discard this. Okay. Turn over, John. All right. So, I'm going to move. I'm shocked.

1:40:29 Well, I but I can't get up here, though. So, you totally could have. I could have. I know. But I I was saving. Doesn't matter. It's fine. So, one, two. Sorry. Yeah. Okay. Now, I'm mean. You sure are. Okay. So, your movement moves there. It ends. Yeah. It is not a you choose. It is a we now compare AI. Yeah. So, now here's what happens. We have one competitive, one cooperative. The cooperative loses a shield. W. But I actually I have a titanium battery. All right, hold that thought. Leave that there for a second. We'll do. And then the competitive gets a free mind. But unlike this one where it says, "Hey, choose the pressure level." In this case, the pressure level chooses you, i.e. pressure level two. So you get a beta matter. Now let's go and circle around to Paul cuz he is going to lose a shield. Yeah. However, this is the reason why you want a titanium.

1:41:32 Uh on. Okay. What is that? Nearby on or it's on. You want it on that. So instead of dropping a shield, you're going to lose the battery and that eats it, so to speak. Could this have been any battery? Did it have to be the Okay. Um I believe it it has to be titanium. No, no, no. Hold on. If If your shield were there and put in that, then that has to be titanium. Yeah. But because it's there, I believe this is an edge case again. Yeah. I believe that the titanium will take it first. Yeah. If it were any other battery, I think you would lose the battery and that I saw. Okay. So, yeah. Okay. Uh, that was you.

1:42:20 No, sorry. That was your move, sir. All right. Done. Retaining the card or not? Um, yes. All right, we'll finish this here. So, Ken, all right, so Edward is right. Boom. I love those words. All right. Uh, so yeah. So, we're going to we're going to head into the hole. All right. Now, where here? Y. Okay. So, it's auto boosted. Auto boosted. Yeah. Two actions. So, we want I I I'm trying to get mom to bug out so she doesn't get shot in the face. Um, so we're definitely do this one. Okay. So, do and then the then the other thing it doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. You do one at a time. You don't have don't have to declare them. Right. Fair enough. All right. So, uh first of all, we'll draw this card and see what happens.

1:43:15 And mom bugs out. Yep. Okay. So, she is leaving. Now, there are uh ramifications. droid. So, yeah, let me walk through this here. I apologize that this part I don't have committed to memory because it happened so infrequently the last time. Oh my god, it in fact it never did. Yeah, that was amazing. Like never left. Anytime Alphabot got close to the ending, it was just draw a card all the way back to the start and then got wamped on by all these dudes. All right, so here we go. Um, advance the vault marker. Done. And then that goes with Ken. Yep. Again. Right. Uh, right. Okay. Cylindroids on A2 and B2, which there aren't, would move to the vaults. Yeah.

1:44:05 A1 and B1 return to the cylindroid belts. The B1 are returned first. Well, that's new. Do they go? No, they go right there. There you go. And we get stress. Well, okay. Hold on. Yeah, put that one back, too. And put that back. Um, then add the amount of stress indicated in the segments occupied by these cylindroids. Each beta betabot increases its stress level by that amount. That's hilarious. A moment. Eight. Do me a favor. Move. Move those so the people can see. That appears to be eight. So much for your delivery. So much for my delivery. That is great. Everyone gets eight in turn order. Yeah.

1:44:51 So, okay. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8. Yeah. Um, eight is going to be here. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And then you're going to be at nine. 1 2 3 4 five six seven eight. Seven eight. Right. It jumps. It only pushes. If it landed, it would push. Oh, then you still can make your delivery. I thought you were going to pass. Uh, okay. return to the general supply boxes and hatch token. He can't cuz he's got to move. Oh, because he has to increase stress, but he could discard some. Yes, he can't. He can. So, that gets discarded face down. There you go. Do I want, right? That that that is the key. Okay, that is done. You have to discard book two. We'll see.

1:45:37 Let's see what happens. So, that was that was the first number one over here. And then I have some well on the Oh, and that technically moves back. We moved one over. We're good. Did we Did we swap this already? We did. We did. Good job by you. Thank you. I removed it. He added it was team effort. Well done. Hey. Hey. Hey. Here. Yeah. We tried. Um for the new Baltic Bros. I think the Malaka Bros. Yeah. Why wouldn't I help mom out? Oh, what a team player. Yeah, this is crazy. So drastically different than the last game. It is. So taking from your board, adding on to the shield, and you have two options. Yep.

1:46:28 Reduce one shield or take three things up to three. These are so much less appealing for me given your your given my shield and situation. Yeah. If only you had Just I think I'll just drop by. I'll take a I'll take a point. If only you had that. But yeah, looking at that, you can't get a shield. I'm sorry. You can't get a battery. Yeah. And all you have is titanium bunch of titanium. So you're dropping a stress. I'm taking a stress. That's right. Or reducing scoring a point. So that was both your actions. Are you retaining the card? Oh, it's such a good card. You could take three more stress. I mean, what's three? Okay. I don't know if you've done the math on where Paul would land. I have not. If uh if I Yeah, but it would bump me up an extra one, I think, if uh only titanium batteries eat shield loss and only when the battery is on top of the shield marker specifically. There we go.

1:47:23 Get it right. All right. Yes. So, now it's me. Facts. That's a move. You are moving of two. Uh I'm boosting it. Uh from what? From this one right here. Oh, I don't have it anymore. I'm not being a smartass, but I don't have it anymore. So, he would like to boost with this, which he can if I hadn't lost that shield that if he hadn't lost that titanium. If I hadn't Yeah. So, John, there you go. He costed that. Yeah. Now, it's a glory to Yeah, that that but if you wanted to go on the the space that won't let you deliver, you could do that. The take this one? Yeah. Oh, good see. Wow. Is Is there Is there a way for me to I don't think so. I don't think there's any way to make any lemons out of this. So, um or no or lemonade? No.

1:48:15 No. When life hands me lemonade, I make lemons. Okay. Okay. All right. So, I think um John rude. That was all on purpose, too. The rudess. Um I think pivot. Yeah, it's time to pivot to video here. So, I think I'm going to um I know I'm definitely going to move at least one. I think uh I could move I think I'm going to move up here and get some shields back. I think is what's If you could bring that over here, sir. We'll do. Boink. And that will repair his shields at a later time. Extract. Yeah. At a later time. He takes a connect. When I take a connect at a later time, I will um Am I going to hold on to this? I know. It's okay. That's the game, man.

1:49:01 Don't play the game. Not only did the stress prevent him or at least make it more difficult for him to deliver, but losing that one battery cost him the ability to actually move enough to get up to skyhook the delivery. That was kind of glorious from a viewpoint. Yeah. Yeah. It that's the game, man. From a certain perspective, but I timed it right. Yeah. Not Paul's perspective. I tried to mind game you. You mind game me. Well, you cuz if you if you didn't discard that, you would have been okay. I would have been okay. But I was like, are you But this happens every time. Someone leaprogs ahead of me. And I thought it was going to be him. I thought it was going to be him, too. Look, man, don't play this game if you can't handle it. Like, that's half the game. It was glorious for Rome. All right.

1:49:48 Yeah. All right. So, I'm going to take a boosted mine. So, I'm going to get two two beta matter. Two beta matter. Beta matter. Here you go, Cal. Yep. There's plenty over there. Okay. Are you retaining? No. Okay. Uh, so before we go any further, apologies, have to uh do do something. It's a lot of fun for me as the host of this show. So, here we go. Uh, Tony B, I'm sorry, Troy B., cheers. Cheers. Hey, I brought a drink this time. Thanks, Troy. Thank you, Troy. Really appreciate that. Not that close, Paul. But yeah. No, no. No, the I'm not sure you intended for that to happen. Well, oh well. You did. You knew moving in would would would have that much of a cascading effect. That's glorious.

1:50:41 Well, I was wrong. You are a jerk because remember he was trying to tell me to the extra was that extra stress that nobody saw that coming. I didn't see this coming. Nobody did. I just knew I was going to It's like the Spanish Inquisition. Nobody sees it coming. Right. Okay. All right. So, we are moving now on to RA phase four. Replicate, rearrange batteries, y'all. Okay. Uh, batteries. Uh, let's see. One. You guys have a lot of beta there. One. Yeah, you Okay. Yeah, your beta matter you can do stuff with if you wish. Yeah. Um, I'm I am kind of hurting for batteries a little bit, but there's I feel like I still need this beta matter. My brain is telling my something in my brain is telling me don't give up that beta matter. But then again, I only need one.

1:51:27 It's not like there's anything out there that's going to cost two. That's a spirit. Not a fan. Not a fan of that. All right, I'll prepare one. I'll prepare one. There you go. Ken, you would have me questioning like whether or not I'm correctly making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Of course, 100%. That is okay. Uh, nobody has any lava, so just combine your beta matter. We just did that. Choose to slide this guy here. Sure. And that you were allowed to do as well. Yeah. Um, okay. It looks like John Paul, but not Jones can choose your AI if you wish to adjust it. Uh, look, I'm not going to give into the dark side here. That's That's right. Me neither.

1:52:24 Uh, well, what was going to be a party here in the main vault is no longer. Um, okay. Draw a standard AI. I So, I we'd never seen that before. We had in the base game they go hang out in the vaults. Yeah, they didn't do that. No, they don't do that here, do they? No, they go back. So crazy. Hang out with y'all. That's what I was expecting that we would leave them behind and that they would go if I had if I had known that I could have taken eight stress to the teeth. I probably would not have done what I did. Mom moves and gets black batteries. Uh, right. I also might get a black battery if I were in a better position. Right. So this will come here. Yes. Mom will move. It is still same direction. We'll move there. Hatch still closed. Yeah, she's chill. Okay. And you get a battery because you are up in them. So battery and you guys aren't there. We're done. So then we're at eight or more. Stop. So we go to phase six. We go now over back to the planet. We're looking right here. So, it looks like red and purple take no stress. Yellow takes one stress now. Oh, no. No, no, sir. You bumped me for one stress. So, here we go. One stress. He pushes. Yeah, because he landed on the same spot and one and these cannot occupy the same space. So, therefore, red stays in the lead there. I have a question for you.

1:53:56 Uh, give me just one second and then I will do that. Yeah. Um, so there's that hand size five or less. I'm good. Square. Yep. All right. So, we go red, yellow, purple now. So, you two swap. Yeah. Player order. And now we're about to do the event, but I can answer your question. What did you get this email this morning? Or maybe it was yesterday. I I have not. What is this email? This is a a patron who signed up for a year. Why did you get that? I don't know. That's odd. Okay. No, I will uh let's deal with that. No, that actually answered a question. Yeah. That I was like, I guess somebody So, okay. Very good. Later. Okay. Um he actually got he's already accounted for in that. Okay. Okay. All right. So, we're good. So, event time.

1:54:48 All right. Here we go. Stuff moves. All right. All the ships move one. And the probe for the first time in our history was not delivered at A. Yeah. Yeah. Uh so the the pressure level drops one down to level one. The uh tectonics move anticlockwise. John Paul. Okay. Let's see. Where were we? No, you had it right. Right there. Right there. Just like that. Yep. And then that's last. Then uh the tit uh titanium. Titanium. Yeah. And that does go up top. Sure does. And then we're looking at down here. One here. Okay. And I think that's it. Maybe that one. One here. Yep. Again, it's you got to move them. Yeah. To C. And just double checking. Okay. Good. Good. Yeah, that's it. Okay. So now, uh, the hatch will open. We'll do that afterwards.

1:55:48 B one. And that's it. And now let's uh let's see what this vault is for the hatch. That is no damage. That is beta matter. It looks like Oh boy. So that is this guy right here. Yeah. All right. Is that a matter? Are we sure about that? Is that what that looks like? Yep. Yeah. It's larger than finer. Yeah. Okay. So she gets she gets two. Yep. to get into up to capacity up to three. Yep, we're good there. And what is the benefit? I know we've gone over a few times, but I know this is her stuff. You can use it for certain things for discounts. When you replace the shield, you get three of it. That's right. Okay.

1:56:34 Um Okay. I think that's it for the event. Cool. All right. Out of here. So now, first player, you may draw three different or two of the same, declaring first. Yep. So, I'm going to flip the card. What is that old? Oh, no. Did No, we did this part. Yeah, we did. Yeah. Uh, I'm going to take everything but a mine. Everything but a mine. So, not that interact and a move. We have a You're welcome. Boost the connect down there. Okay. John is drawing one card. That's it. cuz he is forward of where mom is. And I'm draw am I drawing one or two? You were drawing two, sir, because you were in the same segment. These you have to use a yellow battery to boost it. It can't be a boosted card. It can It can be a boost. It must be boosted. Um Yeah.

1:57:32 Yeah. I'll take that boost and connect. The hatch friends cards alphab. Oh, that's for players and that's for Alphabot. Oh, yeah. There you go. Fun. Alphabot players. Okay, fair enough. Sure. Okay. Yeah. I mean, it's just doubled for the most part. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Probably because she only gets it if she's standing on. Is that Is that why? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Okay. Uh Okay. Everyone has taken their card. John, did you take your third? Okay. Uh, program you. Well, I I have not taken cards. Third now. You're third now. I apologize. So, uh, I get two different fact. Yeah. So, one of them will be a move and one of them will be

1:58:32 a a connect. Okay. Program your stoves. And y'all try I' we've been doing this this whole time, so we're going anticlockwise now. So help me remember, right?

1:58:59 Um I know I'm going to do this. The question is what am I doing next? Yeah, I'm good. You know what's funny? I intentionally was like, I'm not going to bother refreshing my memory on what h how to deliver Alphabot after the last game. I was like, no one's getting anywhere close. And all of a sudden All of a sudden, it could it could happen. I've been trying. Yep. All right, so you're up. Been pushing for sure. Uh, I I'm going to move. All right. So, what's your movement? Three. Yeah. So, there's one.

1:59:44 Okay. I guess you're done. All right. Sir, keeping a card. Nope. All right. John is off. All right. So, just so I cuz I actually I don't think I've ever done this. Um, if I move here, I can wait till this gets here. No, cuz it's an A. I mean, you could you could sit there and just do nothing for like the rest of the round. Well, that's what I mean. So, and then hopefully this is just a one. Yes. If it's a uh move your hand, it is. Yeah, it's going to be a one. That's what I'm saying. So, this round I could move here, take the spot, and then next round deliver. Yeah. To this, right? Oh, I see. Like as your last action like I suppose. Yeah. No, next round. So, as your move as your last action into there and or move and do some other stuff that I'm capable of doing, I suppose.

2:00:32 Um, I have because I I I vaguely remember that you cannot camp that spot. Oh, so I mentioned that during the teach, but I also mentioned a lot. So, um, so if if while he looks it up, if there were a rule saying you can't camp that spot, there would have to be a rule about what happens if you don't deliver or or what happen or can you even move there if there's not a ship there? That is what I believe is the case here. Yeah, it's right here. Uh manual deliveries increase your stress. To be able to carry out either type of delivery, first you have to meet all the criteria. Yeah. Uh okay. The receiving ship must be exactly on that. Okay. To deliver. But then um but I I Yeah, I Yeah, it says right there you can camp at the manual base.

2:01:25 Okay. Okay, you can because there's only one data bot can be right multiple unlimited unlimited and you cannot camp on the instant base because you have to be able to fulfill the condition that's it that's what that's what I'm remembering right but the other thing I would like to point out is if you do go here it is an action to do that and if say Ken is the first player if he comes here before you actually get that turn he would deliver it he'll snipe and you will not be able to deliver potentially in that case. Yeah, but I don't know if he's okay. I'm Look, all I'm trying I'm not one of those that I want you to lose because you made mistakes, not because Right. Yeah. All right. So, I'm going to move there. Yeah. So, that is two. All right. So, your movement is two. You go into no man's land. You take a stress, which bumps Ken. Pretty annoying.

2:02:25 Okay. I'm not going to keep this card. Okay. All right. Nope. Paul, what? I I know Ken's all right. It's Paul's turn. Yeah. And then we're going to do that. See, so I'm there and I'm going to uh So, I'm here and I Which means I pick this up because I'm on that space and I correct at any point. And then you may gain a shield and take one titanium. Oh, we're at pressure level one. We are. Yeah, baby. In fact, I'm going to boost that. And you will take two and two shields. Yep. Done. Well, that that seemed not terrible. Nope, it did not. Well done. You could be worse. Yeah. Well done. I'm going to put that back. All right. Now, okay, sir.

2:03:12 I have a boosted mine action. Okay. So, you're looking here. That looks like uh No, I'm going to use it to destroy the minerbot or that. Now, when you say destroy, I'm going to attack it. And are you going to scrap it or disate? Scrap it or disintegrate because that's the difference between one and two stress. And here, big picture while we're talking about this. If you reduce one stress, yellow loes the stress, red loses the stress. If red loses two stress, you go there and it changes turn order. It It does matter, right? I'm not in a hurry to not be in first. First. Okay. So, I think I will. And if I capture, I lose no stress, right? No. No. If you you always lose one. If you disintegrate, you lose two.

2:04:02 Yeah, I think I'm going to capture it. Okay. So, it is a minor. Capturing it. It's going to allow for a Well, we've already covered it. A connector or Right. So, drop one stress and then John also drops the stress. You're welcome. Thank you. Well, he just undid what you did earlier. So, there and then I can't keep it, so it's going back. John, you're up. All right. I was hedging my bets because I wasn't sure what he was going to do. I know I can't deliver right now. That's fine. Um, I'm going to do this card, though. Okay. So, it is boosted. Yep. Now, I would argue you could do that twice. I would also argue that. Yeah. Okay. So, which are you choosing to do for the first action? So, I could take six. No, I couldn't because the shield damage. Yeah. Um, so maybe I'll do when I deliver this. I know I'll get five. If I deliver this, I would get five stress. Does this do you lose 10 stress? Yeah. Ignore that. That has to do with Alphabot. Don't worry about it. Okay. Okay. Um, and notice um the to the right on your board there on that on that right there. That's Alphabot over there. Yeah.

2:05:11 So, I think two batteries would be pretty sweet. So, I think I'll just take four stress and two batteries. Okay. Checks out. One, two, three, four. And what batteries would you like, sir? Um, think about that. And then, are you keeping the card here if you want? Yep. And I'll take a titanium. Okay. Oh, that was easy. Are you keeping the card? Um, I cannot. Okay. And, uh, you may want to swap that order. I'm just gonna of the cards of the batteries. You do you. I'm just Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah, I was thinking that was exactly why I do those upside down, but I'll I'll let it go. These are upside down. Yeah. Do you Do you not feel that that little nub? I don't touch the I don't like touch the nub. No, but it sits flush. I thought about touching the nub. All right. You touch the nub. Okay. Who among us has not touched the nub? Seriously? I mean, silicone nub about that, right? Okay.

2:06:06 Silicone nub. Uh, what's your movement? Two. Uh, two. So, I'm going to I definitely am going to move down here. So, the question is, do I want to hang out in the vault? So, you came in. Yeah. There right now. And then to get that beta matter is a mining action, isn't it? Uh, help me out. What beta matter? Uh, in in the in the hatch. You must be either on the hatch or next door. Or next door. Now, you cannot be on the hatch. I Right. Because mom is on the hatch and she takes up the whole thing. The only exception to that is if you're is here you can be a with mom or here you can be with basically have an unlimited amount of space uh five mom and four beta bots. Okay. But the cylindroids and the and the never go there but that will be my adjacent. Okay then that so that that was one. Yeah.

2:06:58 That was two. Two. Yep. Correct. Dunzo. All right. Good. And again, not being pedantic, just making sure making it clear. All right, that's player three. Ken, turn this in to keep the card. Got a little interact situation we're going to do. Uh, okay. Where are we going? Controller server, sir. We're going to go to the here. Okay. I'm going to see if we can't uh get get the old girl moving. Okay. So, we're gonna turn one and I draw cards. Uh, yeah. I believe this is two different because that's the same card, right? Yep. Um, that is card number nine. And but it's everybody in the vault in turn order.

2:07:43 Correct. So, you and Paul. Yeah. Not John. Now, again, yeah, John's not to be clear. John is not in a vault. John is out in ether space. So, he doesn't get that. Okay. the I'm hanging on the surface. Yeah. So, here um just going to So, I will take uh the boosted move. You would do that. I would. Maybe there'll be another one under there. Maybe I'll swim to the moon on my summer vacation. And also an interact. All right, Paul. What you want? What am I hurting for? I'm going to take Nothing happens when this is Yeah. empty, huh? Uh, I believe we reshuffle, but I don't know if we shuffle immediately or if it matters. Uh, so I'm going to take this one.

2:08:36 Actually, I do remember reading something. You can handle this. Well, yeah. And I'm going to take this cuz these are always useful. Yeah, moves are they lifeblood. Yeah. By the way, this keeps going down and just pinging off the two and it doesn't move. So that's why we're not doing it. You keeping that? Are you still Is your turn still going? Uh, yeah, he's done. Oh, no. Thank you. I'm not going to keep it. And I am re recalling. Recalling. Okay, then I am going to extract uh beta matter. And I don't lose any shield or anything for being on the vault or near the vault or anything having to do with the vault. The vault is open. I will extract one beta matter.

2:09:23 Yes. One beta because you were not on top or else you would have reh gotten two. And here you go. If at any moment you need to reveal an AI card of either type, then you shuffle. Okay. Do you mean any rules? Yeah. Okay. Oh, okay. Now, now apparently I am being a little pedantic. We can just shuffle. Okay. Okay. My bad. I I wasn't trying to be Yeah, it's all good. So, yeah. All right. Uh Oh, we're done. Okay. Apologies. Uh, go ahead. Do your batteries. Switch. Move your battery. Remember, you do not have to create batteries. It is a replicate and rearrange. So, now I have a question. Throw a battery in. I'm I'm going to max out. Yeah. So, this is take two shield damage to reduce your stress by three.

2:10:11 Is that Yep. You And then this battery looks like it's just protected because it's past the shield. Oh, no, no, no. If that drops down, you lose it. you lose it because titanium battery makes it protects it. So yes, you're gonna lose a bunch of batteries to be able to lose your stress. Yeah, that So it says take two damage. Now there is there is an item and I can't remember if it's those or these that let you put your shield up higher than that. And so that's that's the queer look that you're looking at. Yeah, cuz it didn't doesn't seem like it made sense. I know. I I asked that in our early plays. I was like, "That makes no sense to me." But now it does. So yeah, that's why um I'll hold on to this until it's absolutely time. That's why they say take the damage instead of just lose the batteries or whatever, right?

2:11:02 Cuz you might not have to. Right now I can play four cards. Yeah. Mhm. That's a boosted move. Gray is totally totally a different game. I love it. I love how different it is. Yep. This is entertaining for me watching. Yeah, you know, obviously I'm running and doing a lot, but um yeah. What do y'all think at home? Is everyone done rearranging all your stuff? Prepare your batteries as well. Yeah. Let's see. Do I want to do that? All right. Could I use some more batteries? Being able to move three is nice. It is nice. What does the check mean next to the beta bot? Do this. Put this here. Like this has five stress to the person to the person who delivered it. Yeah. Blackham. This one doesn't have any because it goes to everybody. That is five stress to everybody. It doesn't matter who except the person that delivered it. Yeah. Yep.

2:11:57 All right. Everyone done preparing batteries and doing all of that fun stuff? Yes. Okay. Um Beta, everyone's co-op, right? Everyone's past five. Mhm. Yeah. All right. We can just fast forward through this and just draw one cuz this is crazy. This is so different. Yeah. All right. Yellow batteries for purple and red. Red. Mom. Mom's already got one. I really got to get some shields. Yeah, you do. So, there. You've lost that on three batteries. And I just put these two. Yeah. I'm feeling the nub. And uh go. Thank you. Well done you. Okay. Um I'm nubs up now. Thank you. That's down. Eight. Done. Downs up. Alphabot distance. So here they're fine, but now it's one stress for yellow. Okay. And hand size max of five.

2:12:53 One, two, three, four, five, six. I will get rid of one. Have five. Okay. John is first. Ken is second. Paul is third. Y'all swap, please. Mhm. Event It really is, John, isn't it? Yeah. All right. So, ships move. Oh, and I have to put something in here. Yes, you must. Thank you. Mhm. I missed that. Uh, okay. So, ships move. No pressure. Wow. This has been a very calm planet, this game. Look at this. Like, yeah. Wow. Beta matter comes out. It uh is it one or two up there? I think it's one, right? Yeah. And here, there's one there.

2:13:48 There's two there. There it is. One there, one here, and that's it. Yep. Okay, moving on over. Comes out to B1. There we go. The hatch is open. We're done with the event. Okay. All right. So, now we are going clockwise starting with John. And John gets a car. Uh, no. Cuz I'm in the same sector. You're in the same sector. Well done. Yes. So, I'll take a same sector. I'll take a move. Yep. So, he's above the thing. It doesn't matter. He's in the same sector. Above the above the thing is for stress. Uh, but the sector is for cards. Okay.

2:14:35 Sweet. So, I'll take a move and a mine. Yeah, it's the wedge. A move in a mine. Yep. Extract. Yeah. Move, mine, extract. Same same words. All right, we are on to Ken and it's three different or two of the same. Declare it first. I uh I I already have a boosted move. Oh, the struggle is real. We all have crosses. Two of these. Okay, one gift. too. Yeah. Let's see here. This is the most like flush economy of cards I've ever seen a game be. Yeah. In our five games of the five or six games of this so far. Yeah.

2:15:21 Yeah. Yeah. Am I allowed to look at the discard pile to see what's come out? Like what that could be? I I'm I mean I'm If you want to minmax, I wouldn't say anything I do is max of anything. I I have no problem with it, but they have a bunch of cards in hand, so they do. Yeah. Yeah. So, knock yourself out. Guess what? There's probably one move over there. Boosted. Okay. So, I don't don't need that then. Uh so, I can take uh two different. So, I will take the boosted move. Oh, look. There's a boosted move. There's a boosted move. Um, and I will take

2:16:04 Yeah, I feel like the cylindroids are plotting against you guys. Like it's coming. It's the combat before the storm. Uh, I assume John's already programmed. Oh, no. Sorry. See, I would love All right. Now, I'm just asking advice, right? I would love to get over here to deliver to this one because that's categorically better, but I will take a stress. So, I couldn't do it anyway. So, I' I'd have to Why would you take a stress? Because you you don't you just take a stress? Oh, yeah. You and I'm lined up with it, right? Well, you could again, you can discard a delivery, right? Or or or I'm not saying this positive possible, but you can program four cards, right? So, theoretically, you could come on down, come over here, heal mom, lower some stress, and then get over there. Look, I I'm just again way one of them is going there right away. So, well, I can't Again, I'm just telling you what's allowed. I'm not telling you strategically what is the right thing to do. And at the end of the game, you get these points, but I'm going to take a fivepoint hit just by doing one of these cuz they're both 100% the case. Yeah. So, it's all about maximizing but also um trying to keep them from doing Yeah. from delivering.

2:17:24 Oh, right. That's right. That's right. Yeah. The first the probe here. Go ahead and just as a reminder, the probe has one delivery. There are two deliveries in a three-player game and two deliveries in a three-player game. All right. I don't know. I'm just going to play the game and see what happens. All right. It's fine to me. Um, okay. Then I will do this. I mean, the good news is if you're not an expert at at uh Stressbotics Odyssey, tomorrow's games, you are. So stay tuned. Although Joshua is going to take you to the whoopshed and whoop you. Well, this time on camera for the whole world. That's true. Yeah, he did something in whatever it was like. Okay. Um, he games with Hero all the time, so he's got to be getting better. Like constantly improving. Yeah.

2:18:23 Oh, that one's empty. Okay, that's dead. All right. Okay. Good. Oh, so soon it's your turn. All right. So, I will boost the deliverer. Yeah. All right. Okay. So, we got our first one. A bunch of negative points. So, take that battery out. All right. So, you're boosting it. Yeah. All right. So, let's go through because this is the first time we've done a delivery this game. Yeah. Okay. Let me find I'm getting there. Patience. Uh, not delivering Alphabot right here. All right. Delivering to a ship. It's a manual delivery. We've already covered all that. Okay. Here are the prerequisites. Your mini bot must be in a manual delivery point. Done. Okay. And then you take a boosted connect. The receiving ship must be exactly at the reception point. So it's you have two options in fact point. Uh I can they're both here. So yeah. All right. Your stress level cannot be past 24 or a way bigger number for those because of those.

2:19:31 Okay. Uh the receiving ship receiving ship must have at least one demand card i.e. a delivery available point. Uh they have them those. Yes. You must respect the permitted load limit, meaning you can only deliver up to whatever it holds. I respect it. Yeah. Thank you. Uh you must have a delivery marker on your player board. Point uh right here. There you go. You must have a cargo card uh with the letter A on it. You do in fact have an A. Yeah, you must have at least one shield on your track and you must have at least two batteries. Checks. I maxed out on both. All right, if you meet all the conditions, here we go. So, take the demand card. Uh, go. Yeah. Move the discards a little towards There you go. Perfect.

2:20:21 And do it sideways. Yep. You get Exactly. Perfect. Well done. And then what are you delivering to? So, it looks like they're both going to give me three points because this would be three points and this would be one point, two points. Yeah. So, now the question is, if the points are the same with all that, what resources do you want to retain the most? Yeah. So, I probably should res retain these, I think. Okay. Well, no, because I have so many batteries. These may come in handy for something else. So, I'm just I'm going to get rid of So, you're deliver you're delivering to the scout. Yeah. A moment. Okay. Moment. I'm delivering these. Oh, well, hold on.

2:21:06 Take the from the scout. Yep. That flip it over. Yep. There you go. All right. So, now the scout is specifically asking for uh carbon and beta matter and beta matter. You put any up to six of each onto that. Y I mean, that was a wful three points worth, but whatever. Okay, that's fine. There's no judgment. Anything else? No. No, we're good. So, now take uh one of the deliveries off your board. Yep. One of those toasters. Yep. And now place it on there. And you'll notice that it says you get the privilege because you rushed so hard to get that stressed yourself out. Get lose five points. One, two, three, four, five. You're up to 20. Yeah. The goal of the game is what again, Paul? Uh to have the fewest stress. Yeah. Okay. All right. Just checking. There's not a game left. There it is. That's a So well done you. You got the benefit. Done. That is a delivery. Yeah. Well done. I'm getting made fun of by the designer, too. Yeah, that's okay.

2:22:14 I'm just I'm here to show the game. Yeah. Hey, hey, hey. I appreciate it. Regardless of what for I don't care if I I think you netted negative two points on that trans. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Glorious. I don't know if that was a compliment or not. I'm too uh I know for Have a good night, Jacob. I'm interacting. Yeah. Uh, I'm already in this spot. You may move here. I may move, but I think I'm going to stick around where I am. Um, and yeah, I think um That's clever. Um, I'm not telling you what to do. Yeah, that's clever. So, one thing you could do Mhm. is you could boost the action.

2:23:04 Yes. So you could take two of those actions, right? Yeah. If you were to move mom's direction to right, squish them. Oh, interesting. And then maybe if mom moves, squish. And she gets a ton of resources. Yeah. Uh and then those go away. It's an option. I'm not telling you to do it. Uh that's not what we're going to do. Um so I'm going to spend Yeah. one. One to get to get mom's shield all the way up. Well done. You're going to lose some stress or you going to cut these three items. Okay. Nice. Uh and you're done retaining the card, sir?

2:23:49 Uh no. Okay. All right, Paul. Uh this is a move and it is What's your movement? Uh uh right now it is two. Okay. Um one two facts. Empty space. Empty space. Done. Done. Retaining. No. All right, John. All right. So, I'm going to move um Hey, good news. Jacob or Yakob leaving distracted uh Fernando from heckling. So that's good. Heckled enough. Okay, you can return that. You can go make you go make another delivery, John.

2:24:37 What do you mean? Oh, you're too far to make a delivery to the probe. Never mind. I can't. Your stress is I'm stressed out, man. Your stress is well beyond that uh that threshold. Yeah. Um so I'm going to move on. That is not a true statement. You could deliver to that ship and just move one space. Yeah, that's true. But then you'd get five stress. Find more stress. Look, I didn't say you should. I said you could. If I do that, Fernando might Yeah, you might find me. You're right. Yeah, that that that's actually true. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um All right. So, I'm going to I'm going to go over here. Okay. Uh into the tunnel. Move. There you go, Ken. And retaining the card. Uh no.

2:25:27 So, I'm going to stick with my plan and move. Okay. So, here's one somewhere. Yeah, just on top of mom is fine. Okay. Um, and then I'm going to go into that shield vault. Uh, so that is up up one. Yeah, there you go. Two. Yeah, checks out. Done. And retaining, sir. Uh, I'm good. So, if I had been paying attention, I would have been able to make this probably work a little bit better. But because I was not, I have to do this the hard way. Uh, I would have been able to rearrange my batteries in order to park in order to get here and then do a boosted action to deliver. But I was not fully paying attention and planning everything out. And by the time I realized it uh it would I would have had to then be like guys can we reccon history. So I am going to uh boost boost my movement. One two three to go. Or if I had had one more miserable battery I would have been able to get there. But that that is literally this game. So you're going to you're going to take five stress. I'm take five stress. One two three four five. Yep.

2:26:41 And then I'm going to deliver to uh to that yellow probe. Yes indeed. So, um, let's walk through this if if we want. So, you're delivering? Yeah, I'm delivering. Okay. Well, I mean, I'll put that right there. I think I think we covered all of the prerequisites and I'm pretty sure that you're in good shape for this. And I want to put all of those there. Okay. I'm going to pick this up. Do you want to use that matter? Because it can also So, yeah. Oh, for sure. By the way, uh, uh, Fernando, I saw what you read or what you wrote, but it's fine. So, and then I take this toaster, I put it here. Everyone else gets five stress. Fact. Is it You're a B, right? Yes. Everyone else gets five stress. Yeah. So, do me a favor and move it off of there for a moment. Yeah.

2:27:27 Everybody but you. So, that is 1 2 3 4 25. And you were red, right? One, two, three, four, and five. Yeah. Okay. Um, right. So that is worth to be clear potentially. No, not potentially. It is 2 4 6 8 10 12 13 points. 13 points. Yeah, that's 18 because you gave us both five. That's true. Yeah, that is true. Um, you're keeping that or hold on. That is technical. Oh yeah, you're right. Yeah, you're right. I'm not used to I'm not used to delivering a B. Yeah, there we go. Good catch, Stephen. Uh, okay. This can go right there. I'm not keeping it. That's it for me. All right. Uh John, back to you. All right. So, I'm going to mine um here and take two acid. Uh yes, sir.

2:28:23 Cuz we're at level one, right? Yep. Yep. And that's it. He might have been more efficient by waiting by for B uh Fernando, but I also understand him being a little gunshy and also kind of hate drafting a little, so I'm okay with what John did. It's fine. Yeah, I am mining um and getting a shield and a shield and a titanium. Yep. Right there. Uh, you could boost it to get another shield, which then opens up that spot. Uh, I can't boost it. Yes, you can. How?

2:29:08 No, you can't. Carry on. Cool. Sorry. Needed a silicon, not a titanium. And then I'll Or needed a titanium. I'm going to retain this card. Okay. Um, this form. Yeah, I was going to I was getting you to put it in the You're good drink, but you can't do that. And you're right, Paul. I'm going to take this back. I'm done. All right, we're good. So, so Oh, yeah. Oh, you have a fourth, correct? I can't do it. So, do you elect not to do it, you said? Okay, great. So, uh create batteries if you wish. I do wish. Rearrange your batteries. And purple, you need to fill a hole. Yellow, you need to fill a hole. red. You can swap this out with say a titanium. I don't know. No, I'm good. Okay.

2:30:02 Oh, towards you. What? Oh, yeah. Go and put it there. He put it Yeah, he he just did the wrong one. He was trying to be a team player, clearly. Um then after that, uh combine your beta matter, you know, move your resources, the whole nine yards, all that stuff. Uh if that's the one up around Buffalo then yes or Rochester or somewhere up there. Yeah. Well, I I'll hit it again on the way up as well. OG uh on the way to the Gathering of Friends. Yeah, Fernando. I def I knew I know it was like not the best move. Like that's not Yeah, but keep watching. I may surprise you. Yeah. Facts. Uh everyone's above five, so we're good. Yep. Oh, okay. Now we get to have some partying.

2:30:48 Mom's getting shot. Uh, what do you need? My little cheat sheet. Where did I put on the floor? Possibly. That one. It is not. Where? That one. That's not that. No, it's not. There's one other. Oh, shoot. Where did I put it? This is actually what I needed it for. I apologize. It's the one you mean you've looked at it before, right? Yeah. Oh, it felt Can over there? Yeah, it's right there. I see it. Thanks. over there by the emerald elephant that we have just off camera. Thank you. All right, cool. Okay, so lasers happen first. So lasers hit everything. Yep. Um so she's going to take two damage. Yep. Bingo. Bango. Now regardless of the amount that she took, the fact is she she responds to the laser damage. So therefore she It's only one. Mhm. Go ahead.

2:31:44 And then Yeah. And that is card number uh 14. Beta bots inside the hole or on top of Alphabot are ejected. Place them into entry square and they lose one shield. Okay. Okay. Cool. Now that also moved up as you did. Okay. So now we move on to the minor. Yep. Anything adjacent or in the same location uh takes one shield damage. Yeah. Bing. Done. Now that's a different type. Ergo, we do another and then fix the drape behind you when you get a chance. That is card number 11. And 11 says Alpha retreats to the entry square. Oh, sad. Uh, and each beta bot in that square remove loses a shield, but that's it. And hold on. This will also go up. All right. So now those are done. They all attacked so they don't move, right? That's mom's reaction. So now step one is mom resolves a standard AI always. Go ahead.

2:32:57 All right. Kicks out. She moves and gets slashgives batteries. Yes. And she's moving straight forward. So there. And she gets a black battery which she has. And nobody is there. So that's it. Does she also get this for landing on the thing? Yes, she will. So, she will get two beta matter. Two beta matter. That's right. Anytime mom lands on the open hatch, she would have taken shield damage, but there is no shield damage for that. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, then because that was a standard, this drops down. Y you following, John? Yeah, I understand why it drops. Okay, so now Yeah. Now, yeah, the number is what? If there are eight or more shields Mhm. Oh, that's when this happens. Okay. If there were eight or more, we stop. Yeah, there aren't.

2:33:45 So, if there were seven or less and the AI marker is at zero, stop. It is not. So, then we go, if there are seven or less shields and the AI marker is not at zero, we then go back to if when resolving this card, Alphabot lost the shield, reveal an aggressive AI card. But you must uh reveal an aggressive AI card right now, right? Cuz it's not a zero, right? Correct. So that So the numbers are just kind of a way of letting you know how many cards are going to get resolved if the loop once that flips over. That's the ejection. It's the ejection. We are in the loop right now. Yeah, we're in the loop. Yeah. Okay. So that moved up. There was no damage. It's up here. Move the C because you're in my camera. Yep. Uh okay. So now we go back through. If seven or less and it's zero, stop. Y, she's done. We've terminated the loop now. Do you see it, John? Yeah. Yeah.

2:34:42 Yeah. Okay. All right. All right. So, now check Alphabet distance. Alphabet is here. Yeah. Uh, so safe. Yellow takes one stress. Purple is going to take dot. Is it here? Oh, yeah. There you go. And also note, yeah, max four cards. Yeah. Max of four cards for John here. Okay. Cuz he has eclipse that two. And I take two stress. Okay. Indeed. And because you were there, it's one, two stress for purple. Yeah. There we go. 15. Hand size five for everybody. Four if you're John. I'm good. I'm good. Turn order is yellow, red, purple. That stays the same. New event. Here we go. All right.

2:35:31 Oh, right. Oh, the one in Portland. Gotcha. No. So, red moves one, yellow moves one, orange does not move. Okay. Okay. This must have been a exclamation point one. So, the pressure moves up one. So, that moves up to two. Yeah. Oh, damn. And then clockwise for the planet decor. Done. All right. Now, note the event for the production. Yeah. We got black carbon. No, something else is here. Yeah, black carbon and and that flips this. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Okay, I have a C. I have people. I'm trying to show. I thought you had the camera on it. Not yet, it's I do. All right. Okay, you can do it if you want. I I was pretty sure you had it on camera. I hadn't yet. Okay, that flips. I don't think he thinks he could do it better. I clearly once Once that flips, it won't flip again, right? Okay. Now, I know I said the cross-hatching says that it means there's a uh beta bot spot. No, there's still only one spot. Okay. All right. On that. Um and then the I already put those down. Okay. Yeah, I put one there. I put one here. Okay.

2:36:46 That belongs and one here. Yeah, there it is. And there up here, too. It was carbon, right? Yep. There you go. Done. All right. Now the hatch closes and A and B come out. Yeah. Oh, this is going to be fun. Close that hatch. So A is first. Yep. Yep. Okay. I would like to present you for your benefit. Uh the Elite comes out. Oh boy. This is uh the first time we've done this. Yeah. Although although John and I covered this early. Okay. Um so uh so it comes out. Yeah. The like Alphabot the in cylindroid occupies the entire square. Yep. So it's going to come out in B. No, it's going to come always comes out into the center. Oh, interesting. Okay. Okay. So the hatch goes away. It's gone. Gone.

2:37:47 And then that hatch the the elite hatch comes out right there. Oh, okay. Fun. And then now the elite cylindroid comes out. Alphabet is pushed to the entry square. Yeah. The elite does not move from there. Okay. So, the elite will stay in that spot. Okay. Um Okay. This is exciting. So, now I'm tingling. That's the elite siloid. You feel Yeah, it is. It's Yeah, it's about to tickle you. You guys feeling my nubs? Uh, in phase five, which we are currently where? We are in the event. So, in phase five, yeah.

2:38:34 Um, if it's in the act, if it's in the main vault, yeah, uh, it will it'll activate, reveal the top card, and then we'll we'll walk through it when that happens. Okay. So, that's going to happen, though. So, the event's done, right? We finished all that. Yep. Okay. So, just know that damaging. Actually, no. We actually need to talk about this a little bit. Let's go up to the elite cylind.

2:39:06 Yep. Okay. You get whatever is on the car on the level above and this will drop down. So, if you damage it, you're going to lose one stress. You'll get a titanium, a silicon, and a beta matter. So on and so forth, rinse da until it drops down off of that. And then it's destroyed. Then it will come back off the board up to here. We will refill this. Okay. And it will turn into the laser version, which is worse. And then if that gets destroyed, it's fully gone. Yeah. Okay. I see. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Cool. All right. Woof. Yeah. This this is just a level boss.

2:39:51 This isn't the final boss right now. This isn't even its final form. Correct. That's what I'm saying. Damaging is with the this action, right? Correct. The the mine uh boosted mine action. If mom is mom able to leave the vault uh right now with she can walk. She just have to walk. She just has to walk around it because she can't go through the elite. She could jump over it if we got that card. Yes. But but she would otherwise have to go around. Now if somehow mom leaves the vault that means we put back the elite we put back all those 14 stress each and there is an upper limit. If we start hitting this bad things start happening. Yeah that is that is a statement of fact. Yeah. Okay. And when you say we you mean me right now. Well I mean I mean I couldn't have happened to a better guy.

2:40:40 Okay. So, you may or may not want to, you know, swamp on the uh elite. I like I like it better when it was a more friendly game. Uh, right. Well, it was and then it wasn't. So, player one is yellow. You get to draw one card, sir. Okay. We're about twothirds of the way through the game at this point, I think. Yeah, I think so. Oh, yeah. You're right. Yeah, I would say so. Just one card, huh? What happened to that hand of cards you had? I'll take the move, please.

2:41:25 And the beta bot or the alphabot moves to the beginning. Correct. Or is that No, that's the end. Oh, I believe. Yeah, she moves page 37. Um, moves to the exit square. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Well done, y'all. 14 stress. Just move her one time. Oh, boy. Just Just move her one time. Yeah, sure. We're all going down. You're all coming with me. Smoking like a true beta bot. All right. So, you can only take one of those. Yeah, I can only take one. Cuz this this doesn't count as in the same section. That's right. What? This doesn't count as the same section. It does not. You were out in you you you were out in the Yeah, you're outside the the window. Um, by the way, the double jump does not allow Alphabot to move. The elite is really big. She bounces off of him and moves back twice. Okay.

2:42:30 Oh, that does allow. I guess that must allow her to move. So then how did Alphabot get there? Did I miss it? It just like teleports to the end. Yeah, it was moved to the end space no matter what. Got it. Okay. Yeah. Who knows? Okay. Somehow she skirted around. Yeah. Yeah. Snuck around, if you will. I will. Um I really don't I really You're drawing two right here. Yeah. Um,

2:43:03 this was so jovial and so so much fun a few minutes ago. What happened? Well, now we have to start thinking. Take a move. And uh, you smell that? Yeah. Move and then interact. You sure? Yeah. Uh, okay. So, now this one, the interact is Alphabot gains two shields. Place a titanium from general supply on each of two low spaces and then shuffle them. Oh, the good news is she's not going to freak out. Now, it's not on. Flip that back over. Uh, no, not until phase five. Okay. We So we never ran into the part of phase five where we did that. We just flipped it over when the time came.

2:43:56 Yeah. All right. Yeah. Okay. So, flip it back over, right? I mean, she's going to get shot a bunch, so it really doesn't matter, right? So, but fair. Okay, that was your draw. So, now we are at purple. You get one draw, sir. What are the What order do these go in? What do you mean or in which laser minor explosive elite? It's uh I believe that's right. Laser minor explosive elite fact. Yep. So there's a decent chance she'll actually kill the explosive one before it arms itself. Yeah. Yeah. There's also a decent chance if anybody goes and does this, she'll just leave and you guys just go away. We just funny. We just all like I'm trying to will that to happen.

2:44:45 So if she leaves, we all get 14. Correct. But but more importantly, the elite leaves. Yeah, the elite leaves and we get a couple more go rounds before. Yeah, that's great. I don't think that's as great as And why do we get 14? Because the elite is present in there. Well, no, because these will start to go back into the conveyor belt. Oh, because of this. Yeah. So 4 8 + 6. Yeah. Gotcha. Yeah. Yeah. It should have flipped at the end of phase five. Yeah. All right. So we're programming. What the But hold on. at the end of five. So, hold on. We are in We are currently in phase two. Mhm. So, this would have flipped at the end of five. Okay. Right. Cuz those were empty. Except we flipped it before then. Yeah, we did. This a bunch. Well, we should have flipped it. Well, she The fact is that should have flipped at that point. Does it flip at the end? No, at the end of five. It flips at the end of five. But that the rules say, is it less than blah blah shields? That's what you read through.

2:45:49 Oh, I I'm paraphrasing. Well, yeah. No, if it's seven or less, it was. So, we ran through that. That That's right. So, it happens before you check this. Yes. Okay. Yeah. And then that flips at five. Not at the end of five. This time, this would have been here, but that happened. That still happens because it's less than. Okay. Oh, I see what you're saying. Yes. Yeah. Let it lie. It's fine. Let it lie. Just let it lie. Okay. So, but we're going to check it before we do it. Does it have at least eight? Probably doesn't matter cuz it's going to get shot a bunch. Yeah. But what are the um remind me again the implications of that small little tile there. All that is is a reminder of the things that I just said, right? You will because because uh beta uh Alphabot's shields are so low, Alphabot will always resolve a Yeah, it's literally just a reminder. So we're going through that system every turn, right? No matter what, right? It's just always doing at least this. Yes. And sometimes it might do this and maybe it does it twice, right? Which is what just happened. It had nothing to do with the tile. It had every It's just a reminder. That's it.

2:47:13 Yeah. Yeah. So, we've been doing it, right? All right. So, we're programming now. Yes. Yeah. I really don't know what to do to be honest. Me neither. I'm stuck. I mean, I know what to do, but whatever. I'll tell you what you can do. I don't really know what to do. Put that elite ceiling. You can come over, hang out. Bring the kids. Come over. Hang out. Yeah. Are we friendly AI or are we Well, it depends on if it changes before you get before you get to my house. I'm on my way. And then all of a sudden, Yeah. I mean, things just get more unsettled if if if Alphabet takes a ton of damage. Yeah. So, things get things are going to be weird. Unwise to not to be in her right now. No, because you're you're immune, right? Yeah. Yeah, I mean if you do that it will let you maybe take some of these guys off the board and reduce damage. But there are cards that if you are in in Alphabot when Alphabot goes aggressive that's not in that's not in that's on top. There's a different There's two different ones.

2:48:18 There's one that's like if you're there's an ejector where you're from on top or in those and we've seen two out of the three of those. Then there's the squisher. There's one squisher, right? Um where if you're inside we've seen that. H we have have we I think the squisher still squished. Okay. All right. My bad. Yeah.

2:48:42 Uh so I'm not doing that. What am I doing? This is nuts. This is nuts. I mean it's that kind of game. Come on over. Play stress botics. He says it'll be fun. It's a nice light light game. Yeah. A little thinky filler. He says you have you were super excited about this game. You've been excited about this game for a long time. I have. This is a fact. Yeah. Uh this avoids constant flipping during the round. It's like Alphabot performs a structured status check before updating its state. That's Thank you. That's a good way to frame that.

2:49:33 All right, if we're ready, John, go. All right, so I'm going to move which looks like six. I have the worst cards right now. Boost a move. Um I'm not This is all going here. And then where? Um and then cuz you can move anywhere in there. Deep in. I'm going in. No, you're not first. You have to have an interface to go in. Then you can go in. But yeah, as long as you have an interface. Yeah. So, are you retaining that card? Uh, no. All right. That's I know. Player two can. All right. I'm also taking a boosted move, but I'm actually going to squeeze a little juice out of this guy. So, I'm going to go I my movement is three. I'm going to go one, two, three, four, five, six. Nice. Checks out. I will take those two items. You in fact can, sir. Oh, now interesting.

2:50:27 Oh, now you just made things a little interesting. Oh, sorry. Before I did that, I'm taking two extract actions from that or connect actions from that shieldy guy and getting two shields. Okay. Yes. Uh oh, and and doing that with that those go back into the back. You can do it before you move. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Yep. Well, now that Hang on. Are you cooperative? Yeah, you are. I am. Well, now now let's see. Are you keeping the card, sir? Uh, I may not. Okay, Paul. Yeah. Um, card. I'm going to put a booster move. One, two, three, four.

2:51:12 Okay. Yeah, I like that. Yeah, Ken. There we go. We're buddies. We sure are. I'm going to go here. Yeah. All right. So, you're both cooperative. Doesn't matter what the pressure level is. Um, what would you all like? A beta matter. Beta matter and a carbon. A beta matter and I'm sorry, a exom matter and a carbon, but with a shield damage or two exos and a shield damage. I'm going to take a shield damage and two exos, please. Okay. Yeah, that's pretty good. It's pretty sweet. I'm not going to take a shield damage. So that's a beta and something. So it's a beta. Take a beta and a carbon. Yeah, that's what that's what that's what I was planning on. Okay. And retaining the card. Should I retain that by spending one of those exo matters? Nah. Okay. No, I think the exom matters are more useful. Okay. All right. So I'm going to do a boosted interface. Okay. So are you going here connect? I'm sorry. Console or server?

2:52:16 So, the server allows you to take those or draw cards. Yeah, if I have the resources, and I don't have any antimatter or titanium. So, I can't take any of those cards. Okay. Antimatter. The purple matter. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Um, however, if you ited I understand it is boosted, but hear me. I'm not trying to push you. No, I need to know. If you use the battery to fill that, you then can draw two cards. Either those two or those two. You're lamenting cards. Well, then I want to do that. Finding ways to lose stress. Yeah. So, if that Well, that's minus two stress. Yes. Then that that's what I want to do. It's boosted, but it's like you don't get the benefit from boosting because it's already boosted, but you get the benefit for putting that there plus cards, right? Yeah. which that sounds like exactly what you want to do.

2:53:13 All right. So, you were coming over here to the server side. Okay. So, you're using this to boost it and that will lower your stress by two. Nice. Okay. Hey, your hand limits back to five, sir. That's better. And then I can draw from a bucket. And yeah, you can either choose because this is full now. You may choose those two or those two. The top two. Uh these two. me. Oh, okay. I'm like obviously and those three black batteries will never go away. Huh. I have not found a reason why they would ever go away. There might be. I think there's a thing where you can take them. There might be something. But hello, help here. I got you. Thanks. Okay. Now, don't make fun of me, but feel free. Whatever.

2:54:02 Don't ever do that. So, this had a misprint, but it didn't cuz the rules said to do this, but come to find out the board's actually right. Every single time I see you get out a Sharpie, I'm like, maybe you drew that, you know, tool. That's excellent. Yeah, it really is. It blends so well. Maybe wait a minute before taking a Sharpie to help with that. Yeah. Um, okay. So, first off, the mine says Alphabot obtains resources from the hatch regardless of what's on it and whether the hatch is open or not. Does that mean it attacks the So, hold on. Let's let's work through this. Uh I mean, cuz this action says attack.

2:54:48 This says that turn it over. That's That's the That is a fair statement. Thank you. that yes, I would argue the answer is yes. So the elite is going to lose a shield. So hold on. So go ahead and drop it. So then I believe it's going to gain those resources to it. Unlimited number of these so it can get those and it gets now it has all the beta matter it can hold. Okay. And then the connect action is all beta bots in the main vault gain a shield. So yellow I'm maxed out gains a shield that he doesn't gain.

2:55:34 Okay. Okay. All right. So now shuffle those please. Shuffle top two. Help me out. Pull. Yeah. And that was your Ah, that was No, you get to do that again. You can do the other action which you said you can't do. So now Well, now do I have access to this stuff? Uh, nothing down here gives you access to that stuff. Okay. So it has to be this. All the yellow batteries are plugged in. Yeah. Here's the discounters right there. Then you then you can But if I with this spot, I have access to it. Right. That's right. for which cards? Um, for for interact cards, but you can only when you do interact. No, no, no, no, no, no. If you're up here, it's only the standby card. Okay. If you're down here, it's those four cards, which is also fine.

2:56:27 Okay. All right. Yeah, but you have to move to do that, right? Or take another interact action. Exactly. That's right. Which may be right here. Okay. So, I could take three stress to keep this. I mean, isn't that what we just tried to avoid? Okay. All right. Player two, Ken.

2:56:50 Um, I have an extract action. And you are here. We are at pressure level two. That is another beta and another uh carbon. Yeah, I mean I think so. Okay. And are you retaining the card? Um, I could, couldn't I? No, I don't think so. Paul, I'll do this. I will mine and I will boost it and I will get two carbon and two beta matter. Okay, keeping the card. Doesn't look negative. Okay. Hey, another interact.

2:57:37 So, I'm going to go up here. Okay. So, Yep. And I think I'm going to do the acid tank so I can use I can use the resources that are available. All right. So you're taking the fourth action, the fourth option of the interface, right? Yep. So pay the cost of Alphabot standby item with resources from Alphabot's tank and place it on one of your board extensions. If there are at least two batteries on the titanium battery track, i.e. this one, but there ain't. But if there were, reduce the cost by one resource of your choice. You cannot spend resources from your tanks nor choose this action if you can't actually get the stuff. Yeah. So then, so that really is number four there really is just get that card for free if if if Alphabot can pay for it. Yeah. So that's what I'm going to do. Okay. That's pretty. So looking at this card, the acid tank says she's spending this.

2:58:39 She's spending this. She's spending this. Yep. And you, sir, get that. Proud owner of an acid tank, which now I'll go here and get a free battery. Facts. And then great spot for a free battery. I will go ahead and refill. Have a gray battery. Oh, yeah. You put on your nine. Yeah. And an alpha transfer hack came out. Okay. Okay. which currently cannot be done cuz there is no acid. Yeah, mom's think. Okay. Uh, so well done you. And I'm not retaining. Yeah, so two. Ken, you're up. All right. So, I'm moving and I think I'm going to bug out. Hey, Robert. So, I don't lose a bunch of stress here. Yeah.

2:59:31 All right. So, you are here. What's your movement? Uh, three. Three. Yeah. Um, you are red. Could be boosted if you want. Nah. Okay. Uh, oh, interesting. I'm about to I'm about to make a bunch of batteries. Yeah, that's not a terrible Oh, it is nutty in the best way. Robert, what's up? Absolutely nutty cuz that would put me in the position to be here, which might not be bad actually. So, um, yeah. So I will go one one two three four five. Doesn't matter where I land cuz I get six. And then six. The sixth movement is going to actually come. Technically you came in here and six is right there. Take that battery out. Yep. Beautiful. Well, I can't currently get shot from in there.

3:00:23 Yeah, that is true. All right. So, uh that's it for you. Y to me. I'm going to move. I'll move two. One. Two. So now I am behind Alpha. Yeah, you're safe. You're not going to take any stress at least. You're only drawing one card. But yeah, there's that. And we didn't ask, but I'm not retaining that. Okay, I'm going to turn this in. And I'm going to keep that moving. All right. Replicate batteries. Nope. You only ain't doing rearrange your batteries. Fill your betabots with your battery of your choice. Rearrange your stuff. Combine your stuff. Do whatever it is you're doing. Remember, Ken, you can only create two of those in a given turn. Yeah, that's fine. Okay. And Ken, you owe me a battery. Oh, I have to put one in there, right? You in fact must.

3:01:13 Just in case I need it. Oh, don't worry, OG. It's coming. Okay. Uh, is everybody done creating all your stuff? Yeah. Um, Paul, do you wish to change your AI? You can do so since you're at five. Exactly. I'm good. Okay. And this is going to be fun. Here we go. Activation order. Yeah. Lasers first. So lasers hit everything in there except if you're on top of Alphabot or inside or inside. So that looks like three damage. Lasers don't hit the elite or or the other Alphabot and Beta bots or the other cylinds. Right. So, now we're going to do a reaction. Yep. Which this would push that up, but Done. That is the compressor. That's the smoosher.

3:02:05 It is. If you're inside, bad things happen. Yeah. We're not inside, so bad things won't happen. Done. Oh, yeah. No, bad things do happen. Okay. Um, what number is that? It is number 20. Number 20. Alpha bot compresses the beta bots in its hole. Each beta bot there loses three shield but remains inside the hole. It's no big deal. So, one one. Oh, okay. Hold on. Yeah, this is the first time doing this. Yeah. So, um bing. So, that's that's a one two three. Yeah. Could have been worse. Wait, no reaction. Why would there be no reaction? Took damage. Of course, there's a reaction.

3:02:51 Uh, just because it's at zero doesn't matter. It took uh, no, I see it. If it takes damage. Yeah, right. If as the result of an attack from cylindroids of one type alphabot loses shields, you must reveal if able and resolve an aggressive AI. Yeah. Hard stop. It doesn't matter what it's at. Oh, I'm wrong. Let me I apologize. If the marker is zero, never draw an aggressive AI. Oh, is that what the number is? Okay. Okay. On on uh Oh, did we mess that up earlier? I just we've been every like Yeah, there's been there's been at least at least one other time, I'm sure, where it's been. So, does it matter what side this is on then? that what that shows is that it will um it will always uh do an a aggression. Um my bad. My mistake. So, put those two shields back on. Shuffle that in.

3:03:57 Okay. So, the numbers doesn't matter what side that's on. And take your take your battery back. Yeah, I I got it. Yeah. Okay. Apologies. That's my bad. It's right here. I I mean, I do have it on there, but the problem is I have it as the last line there. So far, Fernando says that we have not run a foul of this. No, we haven't. That's just the first time, apparently. So, good. Okay. Sorry to disappoint you, Paul. All right. OG Paul. OG. Lasers. Done. PG. PG. Minor. Next. Minor. Minor is same and adjacent. Wait, we didn't take these off, though. They They come off, right? You're right. I I shouldn't have put those back on the laser. Okay, we're good. So, minor. Now, minor. One more. Yeah. Still at zero. Yeah. Okay.

3:04:43 Explosive armed. Then elite. Uh yeah. So this is the first time doing this. So Okay. Apologies. It's a lot. It's a lot, man. This This is a a very large It's all This is all gravy. This is all good stuff, but it's a lot. Uh, reveal the top elite cylindroid AI card and apply all the effects that you can see. So, here we go. Uh, put it on the board, please. On its board. On its board. I see. Yep. All right. So, it's a minor that What number is it? Do we see a number there? I don't think that card That's not an actual card. Oh, you're right.

3:05:37 So, this just move this and see what the first one is. Yeah. One, two, three, or four. Two. That's a two. All right. Ramming. Alphabot in an adjacent square lose three shield. The elite cylindroid loses two shield. Alphabot not in an adjacent square. Not adjacent. Fact. It is not. So, we look at that. um the ramming but the So my question is it says resolve uh what is that is that what you want to be seeing that is better and apply all the effects you can so I would argue we can't resolve the lose three yes but we can resolve the lose two Okay. So, that drops one. Two. Yep.

3:06:32 Okay. But it did it to itself. So, I would argue mom doesn't get that stuff. Mhm. Agreed. Okay. And there's another little symbol on this one, but you didn't call it out. And maybe it just doesn't mean anything. Oh, no. We're We're That's y'all, and y'all are immune. Oh, you don't damage y'all. This is This is the the like Godzilla versus Mothra. And the civilians don't take any damage. Fair enough. I was just saying let them fight. When the elite cylinder ending AI card is shown, if it hasn't been eliminated, shuffle the cards and stuff. Yeah. So, apologies, OG. What is this one? It goes just at the uh I uh just off to the side. Discard. Just keep it back with you guys. Got it. Yeah, that makes sense. Okay. All of them have attacked. They sure have. Okay.

3:07:20 Except now it again doesn't react. We've covered that. Yeah. Now, cylindroids move. Lasers already move or attack. So, they don't move. Um, the arming is not attacking, so therefore that will move. That one does move. And that is in A1, so therefore it will move to A2. Cool. Okay. Everything else attacked, so it doesn't move. Okay. Serves as a starting card for the elite sin and droid. Yeah. Okay. All right. Cool. Um, now we're at the alphabot activation. So now we do a standard AI. We will drop it one and she will move, which sucks for some people more than others. Yeah.

3:08:08 Okay. So now that she's moving. Yep. She is leaving the vault. Sure is. John looks thrilled. Well, it sucks for all of us, doesn't it? Well, yeah. And not for me. Okay. Yeah. Really? That's what matters. What's your What's your score? Are you Are you winning? Yeah. Oh, I Oh, trust me. Me and OG, we're winning. Are you son going to four comes to the front of the school bus? That moves to uh actually Yeah. All of them move. All of you move up to four. Now, a couple things are going to happen. The locks will get removed here when that comes out. Okay. So, uh, everything in Okay. Cylindroids in A2 and B2. Yeah. Move to the corresponding, uh, spaces. So, I have that here. So, A2 goes to the A2 goes to the closest of a single color. Yeah. So, that uh where it was, I believe. Oh, we're not going to get go there. So, that goes here. Yep.

3:09:15 Okay. Because it's leaving. Yeah. It's where Yeah. where it comes from, right? Okay. So then A1 and B1 return to the cylindroid belt. B1's return first. That No, no, no, no, no, no. It'll go there. Why there? Um, a moment. Starting from the segment next to the last occupied. I I am wrong. It will go into six. Okay. Go ahead and eat six. Turn order. Two, three, four, five, six. That says you cannot deliver Alphabot. Yeah. Once your pet's there. And then everyone has to eat six. One, two, three, four, five.

3:10:02 No, no, no, no, no. 20. 20 is one. Oh. One, two, three, four, five, six. There you go. And you're going to be one behind me. Yep. Three, four, five, six. Yeah. Okay. So now A1 will then go. Everybody gets four. Everybody eats four. However, yeah, I thought so. Good news. We didn't screw anything up because you take another six. Yeah. Well, you're getting 14 all day. So you took six. I need 10 more then. Yeah. Oh, this is 16 more. Eight more. Oh, you're right at 40. Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. That was one behind, right? Yep.

3:10:55 Feeling the stress, boys. Yeah. I'm just glad they're with me kind of. So, so now my max is down to four, which I'm good. Uh, return to the general supply boxes and hatch token. Yeah. And now place a new hatch, please. Okay, get rid of the box. So now to be clear, now we're not done. That was just here. Yeah. Now, are we at seven or less? Yes. Yes. Are we at zero? No. So therefore, let me make sure I'm doing this in the right order. So then seven or less must reveal a new aggressive. Yep. And when you do that, that will go up. Yeah. So this now goes to the end, no the start space and anything that is there. Yeah. Would she runs back? This is the same one we saw earlier. So okay, nobody's there cuz you guys are with every everyone's cop aesthetic. So now we then go back through less than seven.

3:11:57 Yes. Zero. Done. Right. Again, this is why like I made this. Yeah. Yeah. So, okay, back to six. Alphabot distance. Where y'all at? Uh, they're chilling. This is behind. So, I'm good. So, no stress on there. Hand size is um four for all y'all. I'm at four. I'm at four. Two. Two. Okay. John, do you need a hug, John? No, I'm good. I'm good. Okay. All right. You sounded so sad. Turn order is yellow, red, purple. We're good. Yellow, red, purple. Good. Well, good. All right. New event. Oh, god. Hold on. This is dying. So, once you hit 40, every stress you take after that is going to just start pinging your shield. I got I know. Um, and also your your player board, your little thing there is going to flip over, I believe. Yeah. You're going to catch on fire if you if you get over 40. Yeah. What the Sorry. If you get down to shield, if you get down too low on your shields, then you flip this over. Oh, is that Oh, no. Oh, it's this that flips that flips over. That's it.

3:13:06 Yeah. Every time you take a Yeah. Yeah, that's it. My bad. Oh god. I wonder if this is I wonder if this so far what we're doing right now is like how I have no gauge. Is this normal? Is this is Fernando sitting here being like I think it's normal. I think it's normal in certain scenarios. So So can I can you go here? You can go there. Okay. You cannot mine. I You can't do anything. You have to get rid of this. Now if you attack it, it will blow up and you will take two shield damage. Yeah. Okay. However, you can disarm it. You can diffuse it then. Then how do you diffuse it? What's boosted? Boosted connect. Boosted connect. So a boosted connect diffuses it and then a boosted mine gets rid of it in whatever way you want to get rid of it. Okay. Okay. But this effectively this tile is shut down.

3:13:59 It won't while that's there. Now if the now it won't flip. So it won't do anything if the event comes out to flip it. Sad. Sad. And that event may never come out again. So that thing may never flip. Correct. So uh by the way, Fernando says phase 5 was very well handled. That was a complex scenario. Kudos to everyone for keeping track. And just again systematic. Take your time. I would hope after 35 hours of playing this game. Yeah, we've got it. Well, that I've been at this now for 14 hours today. Today. Go. All right. Everything moves one. Uh, the pressure drops to one. Says says that. So that's at the end. It's at the C delivery. No, it's not at the end. But yeah, C delivery. Yeah. Uh, and then anticlockwise the planet move or the core moves. Uh, yes. And the irony.

3:14:52 Yeah. Yep. That does not flip. It does not. And it may never flip depending on how we get through that deck. Uh, flip open the hatch. Open the hatch. That's That one is carbon here. Okay. Um, so at least no shield damage for y'all for that. And then everything's coming into B1. Just that. Oh, just that. Okay. Nothing. A ain't nothing but a laser thing, baby. All right. Uh, that done. Okay. Easy peasy lemon squeezy yellow. H uh you can draw two of the same or three different must be declared first then you have the same option. Sure. You sir get one card so plan accordingly.

3:15:39 There we go. I will take um I'm actually really proud of that. That went really smooth. That was that was well done. That feels very different. The top three uh top three. How about a little mine action for you, sir? How about a little boost to connect action for you, sir? And how about just a little choo choo? I love that. All right. Okay. The uh STR 355 is your oyster. Uh it is. I figured I figured that's exactly what it was. Definitely a move. Definitely a mine. I guess we'll go ahead and take an interact. Okay. And pull. Damn. That's I was going to say difficult difficult lemon difficult, but no, I think I I think I'll take that. All right, playing your stuffs.

3:16:34 All right, OG, we see you. Drive safe. Both hands on the wheel. All right, so Fernando is giving y'all a little hint. says, "For those watching, as everyone looks, the key right now is to focus on eliminating cylindroids to help regulate the player stress. That's exactly. And to collect auto produced resources, especially with several vaults currently running hot truth, there's a bunch of stuff down here." So, there you go. Yeah. Yeah. Are we good? I will say, look, you've got some deliveries, some more efficient than others. You've gotten this. We're showing the game. That's that. No, that's what I'm saying. 100%. I'm giving you credit. I'm not hating on you. We're good. Okay. So, I'm going to move out.

3:17:23 I'm going to move next to this guy. Okay. So, your movement is currently three. Yeah, it is one somewhere here. So, you want to move here? Yeah, I think so. I mean, if I you can mine this to get carbon, right? If you're on top or adjacent. you if you're there and you mine that you get double and you're also still adjacent to and you're still adjacent. Yeah. Okay. Then we'll stay there and close if the hatch closes on you it doesn't hurt you. Okay. Okay. Yep. Oh, it opens on you. It might be fire or something, right? Which it's not. So, okay. All right. Good. So, you're done. Yep. Uh card go away. Card go away. All right. Ken, you got to move it. Move it. I don't know if I want to do any of this though.

3:18:12 I mean, there's only a couple turns left. I mean, there's Yeah. Yeah. Um, one, two, three, four, five max. Five. Assuming there's not a double move for the red. So, there's a lot of cards left in that deck. So, I I I genuinely don't know. Like, I didn't seed it. Um, I don't know. John brings up a good point. Or you could just accumulate stress for opponents or everyone and hope you're the last bot standing. I suck, but I suck less. Valid strategy. I'm down to two movement, which is bad. Yeah. Now that there's a brief window of calm, it's crucial to regain control and stabilize before the next wave hits. And I can't stand on this, right? Sure you can. I can hold four. Oh, cool. All right.

3:19:04 However, if mom comes, she'll nudge all off. Nudge. I don't mind being nudged. Okay. And depending depending on the circumstances under which she moves, you might take damage, right? Usually it's her running back here. So, you say Okay. So, I'm going to do this double mine and that's going to give me four beta matter. Beta matter. Uh yeah. So, you know what? Here, just going to show the peeps cuz there you go. So, we are at pressure one. So, beta 2* 2 and it is boosted. Are you keeping it? No, John. All right. So, I'm going to attack that cylinder. It must be boosted. Yes, I have. Ah, okay. Cool. All right. So, you're doing a boosted mind. Yeah, you're attacking it. So, now your question, you have three options.

3:19:51 One to all of them are going to reduce your stress. Yeah. But, uh, disintegrating it, um, reduces your stress. I think I just want to disintegrate it because the purple one bonus action would give me an attack on somebody on another. Although scrapping it does get you extra. So yeah, you have to balance. You'll lose at least one stress if you're not if you're not. Well, no matter what he's going back one actually I think I'll just go back one because I could use the X the uh I imagine that and the carbon, right? Okay, cool. And back. Okay. And you know what it's not going to do? Go back onto there. So that's the other thing, right? Cuz these guys when they come out, they'll either go back or they get killed and they go away. So at least those. Yeah. When we when we uh at some point when we talk about it, remind me about what I like about that about about the back and forth about how Yeah.

3:20:51 the back and forth and how sending them back hurts everybody and there's all ways to hurt everybody. I want to I want to talk about that. Well, that'll be for the patrons. For the patrons. Yeah, cuz we don't do sponsored round table. That's true. If we get two more patrons. Um I am going to take two carbon. Uh what are you doing here? You're extracting. Where are you? Oh, yeah. Fact. And keeping not keeping the card or keeping the card? Nope. All right, Paul. Uh let's see. Little help, John, if I can tear you away. Yeah. So, I'm going to move two and uh I'm just going to go one, two, and just get get lousy with it. That's it for me. Okay. Keeping the card. Yeah. Oh, am I keeping the card?

3:21:39 Yes. Well, you said yeah. Don't lie to me. Okay. I would never, John. Yeah. And then I'm going to mine the center there. There you go. Have a couple of uh carbon. Same. Okay. I have a couple of carbon card Paul. Uh, bring it back. Card, John. All right. Looks like we're done with that. Yeah. So, create batteries if you were so inclined. You can only create two two titanium. Actually, I got one here. So, one titanium battery, please. There you go. Ken, thank you. Wait, where is it? Right there. Wait, where? Gray on gray. Oh, okay. Can't see it. Rearrange. Rearrange. Done. Uh, okay. So, now re uh that needs a battery. Rearrange your batteries. You can swap out with your BetaBot if you were so inclined, fellas.

3:22:36 Uh, good. Paul, rearrange. Oh, I'm going to have to replenish it, aren't I? You in fact No. Am I? Oh, I thought I I thought I used it. No, I'm good. All right. So, I guess we're done with four. Well, I'm gonna prepare a battery. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Prepare. Yeah. All that. I Let me know when you're done. Yeah. Good. Okay. Uh, not done yet. I think I'm I think that's I think that's good. Yeah. All right. Yes. Go ahead. All right. So, good news. Done. So, now we're just going to do a standard AI. Standard AI is here. And drop that. Thank you. Uh, not moving, but she is spitting out titanium batteries. Oh, batteries for everyone.

3:23:30 Cookies, I guess. Why not? One for you, one for you. She has. So, she's good. She's happy. She's content. She's a little damaged, though. So, we're at five. We're not at zero. We do an aggressive

3:23:51 AI squish. No squish. Nobody gets squished. This moves up. Thank you. And less than seven and zero, we stop. Yep. Okay. So, uh, alphabet distance behind. Same. Good. Uh, all y'all are limited to four cards. Yeah. Yep. One, two, three, four, two. Uh, same order. Yellow, red, purple. New event, please. 111. One, one. And okay. So now, uh, we're good. The probe has had all of its deliveries made, so therefore, nobody gains any stress. Yeah. Okay. All right. So, now getting back to the event. Apologies. Uh, nothing moves on that. We got a little lava. Oh, yeah.

3:24:46 Mr. Lava. Lava. I was hoping it was acid. Sorry. Thank you for the giggle. I appreciate that. But I can never remember what it's from. Uh, Mr. Yeah, it's Mr. Bombastic. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Um, boys, completed. Uh, the lava is flipping. That's a flip. So, we will do that momentarily after I double check all the others. Just don't This one gets one as well. Yep. Okay, so all of these will now be removed from that and this will autoflip. So literally we are showing everything this game has to offer. Well done to us. All right, so more stuff and this just says, "Hey, nothing comes here cuz it's been flipped." Yeah. Okay. And more stuff. The stuff you get is better. These are going to a Okay. Uh those are going to A. Yeah. Okay. There you go.

3:25:35 Yeah. And the hatch is open. And good. All right. Um, you two are drawing two same, three different. You sir are drawing one. Drawing one. Okay. Um, man, it's it the game is climaxing and people are leaving. I know, right? It's Friday, isn't it? What are you even doing? It's Friday. Oh, by the way, how did Vandy do today? Lost by three. Oh, I'm sorry. That's all good. We had the ball with 19 seconds left. Took a shot, missed it. Took another shot, missed it. Ah, all right. I'm going to And by we, it is Vandy. You went to Vandy. I did not go to Oregon, but I've spilt enough blood, sweat, and tears for Oregon. I joined the Marine Corps. We are playing in 12 minutes. I have absolutely no affiliation. Two 12 of one already, so you should be safe.

3:26:36 Yeah. Okay. Good. All right. Good. All right. So, three different. So, I'm going to take the boosted interface. Okay. We'll allow it. The mine action. Please don't be Thank God. And the move. That's okay. I was just hoping. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Ken. Um, I'm taking two mines. Oh, one, two. So, a boosted and the boosted is available. No, you wouldn't know. You're just bitter that someone else did that. Diggity damn. Do you want that boosted mine? I want that boosted. But are you taking it? I'm taking that boosted mine. All right. Um, you would think I would have that committed to memory, but lots going on today. Okay.

3:27:23 Oh, wait. Uh, Alphabot slurps up what's in the vault and I believe gets So, just look at the card. I'm about from the hatch. From the hatch. Sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right there. So, whatever's We don't know what's in Oh, it's carbon in the hatch. So, flip that card over. It's probably two. So, it's two. It is. It's double. So, that goes right there. Unlimited. Yep. Two unlimited. Okay. Can I disarm this and then attack it on two different turns? Like disarm it this turn and then attack it next turn? Sure, you can. You can do whatever you want. I can exit from here. There's nothing that triggers them to arm. So once you disarm it, do they attack forever? No, they they just hang out. You have forever lost. Yeah, they hang out. Pretty sure that's right. I I believe to my knowledge. Yeah. Okay. How's that?

3:28:10 Program your stuff, people. Yeah. Let's see. Uh that is that is a a big earthshattering kaboom. Um I can't believe I actually volunteered to do two Aegis Steam games. Oh, actually it's going to be great. One of which is be here. Okay. Uh, I'm going to do this. That's going to be a day. I'm going to do this. No. All right. Well, allow. Yeah, that it's the better idea. Good call. Pressure one. I have no idea what you did, but that's okay. Sure. Is that what I want? What do I want out of life? Suitcase full of hundreds. What's best in life?

3:28:59 Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. The lamentations of the women. Am I good? No. Wait. Okay, I'm good now. Go. All right. So, I'm going to attack again and boost it. Yep. Well, no. No. You're going to boost it so that you can attack. Attack. Um, now do I Okay, so yellow would give me Yeah, I think I need some grays. So I think I'll just clean up the yellow one. Okay. And by clean up in what way? Clean up on aisle the scooper A1. So you're scrapping it. Scrapping it. Okay. So you are going back one stress. Yeah. Scrapping.

3:29:46 Oh, there you go. And so therefore it is a silicon and a titanium. And this goes back to the sacko goodness. All right. Done. Card gone. Ken, you're up. I am using a boosted one to do the same thing. Okay. Which one? So laser. Yeah, I'll do a laser. I'm going to just I'm going to scrap it. Yeah. Okay. And I can never remember how this rule works. Hold on. Right. But a moment. Hold on. Uh, red goes back one. Hey, good news. You can deliver Alphabot. So, I think purple goes back one, too. Yeah. Oh, purple was there. I apologize. I was My bad. Can I put this here and then use it to retain this card? Yeah, because you you don't get rid of the card until after the action.

3:30:39 So, the answer is yes. All right. There you go. Over there. You're good, Paul. I'm going to move and I'm going to do a little boosty boosty. I'm here. I'm going to go one, two, three. Oh, hang on. I not I was not pay I did not realize that I have three movement. Does that change what I'm going to do? Um, no it does not. Okay, so you're boosting it. I guess I'm going to have to. One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five. That's where I'm going now. You are up here for connecting. I mean, it's going to give me access to the big stuff over there. The big stuff and all the And if it's boosted, you get those as discounts. So, I'm going to take this out cuz I spent it for my boost. Yep.

3:31:28 And this goes away. Fact. Well done, John. All right. So, I'm going to move down to um my yellow or my friend down here. Uh okay. So, you are coming to hang out. And I think I will keep this sir.

3:31:55 Um feel like I might as well kill this guy rather than let him shoot me in the face. You going to take two this time so you stop giving Paul less stress. So it's boosted. Um I could, couldn't I? You You can just disintegrate him. Yeah. All right. Going back two. So skip two. Nice. At least two. And here sacko power, please. Well done. Good job managing, fellas. Good job. You're up, sir. So hard. So, okay, I am here. Uh, and I am here. We are at pressure level one, which means I get to take one of those four items up there. Uh, hold on. Is this boosted? It is not. Oh, could I boost it? If you boost it, you get those to use, right? Otherwise, you just got to pay for it. So, we are at level one. Yeah. Uh, you already get a discount of one battery. Okay. Well, then I think my Oh, yeah. I get I already get a discount of one battery.

3:32:55 Mhm. I think I'm going to take um How many points is that one worth? Four. I'll take it. Okay. So, hold on. You get a discount. Um, so it's not boosted. No. So, you're going to owe a I could do this in order to boost it. Um, your dewy. I don't know that it it feels a little wasted. Oh, you're right. That's it. This then I will not boost it. Okay. Will not. So, it's going to be a carbon. Yeah. A silicon and an exo. Carbon carbon silicon exo. Facts. That comes home. Can you have that black battery there cuz of your shield? Yes. Uh uh I can. Yeah. No, he can. He's good. If it goes You can even put this in the one place you can and get an extra shield right now. So, like, so I'm going to put this here. Hold on before you do that. Just so There you go. Oh, so I'm going to put this here. Yeah.

3:33:43 Which is going to give me an extra shield. Yep. And then I put this down here. And if I choose to, I could replicate. Get that battery right now. But where where would it go? It will it separate. Yeah. And I don't want to do that. Okay. So, I'm fine with that. Okay. Yeah. Timing. You can't get all the timing right, sir. This card is moment keeping. Okay. All right. All right. So, I'm going to do a boosted connect, which lets me disarm that thing. Right. It does. So, okay, it's disarmed. Never to bother anybody again. However, still can't use the actual tile. Okay, sir. Y'all are humming along. This is Yeah, it's in a bit of a flow. Well done. Thanks. Fernando says, "You're doing a real showcase of all the layers of the game with complex resolution at every step, and it's honestly really interesting to see how they might pull through this game." You pulled out. Uh, I'm super curious to see how Ken manages to adapt his tailored strategy to the current situation. So, that's it for Yeah, tailored strategy. I I was trying to push down. clearly was. Yeah, I'm I'm checking to see if I would benefit from uh anything there. I don't think so.

3:35:03 There's nothing. I could just get a second item because I've got something that I that I could do, but I'm not going to do that. All right. So, we're done. Yeah. All right. Produce batteries. I have a fourth one. I apologize. Right. Cuz you're on my turn at any time do this. Okay. I believe the answer is yes. I think so, too. Okay. So, uh, yeah, show here. I'm just going to move this a little bit so people at home can see. There you go. So, uh, read what that says. So, it says lose two shield and then and then lose three stress. Correct. So, I think how this would work is that goes away. So, hold on. It goes ping one, autofills down, correct, ping two, and I lose and I lose three stress. I believe that is correct. Seems. Yes, I think so.

3:35:53 Fernando can correct me, but one, two, three. Yeah, because 25 was the other. Yeah. Oh, I missed that one. He's here then. No, one. No, no, that's right. Yeah, he was here. No, you did right. Yeah. Okay. Oh, wait. Bad news. Hold on. You might lose them all at once. So, that might be might be the action is you lose two shields. So it goes one, two, and then it would drop down. So therefore, you're actually Yeah. Can must move the shield. Yeah, that's what I thought. So, okay. So, put it back out. Yeah. So, it would be ping one, drop two, and then that battery would drop on top. Actually, on top of it, I think. Okay. So, that's not so bad then I guess. I think that he said but and I think that's what's coming. I think it would be that. Yeah. because then it still protects it from moving again.

3:36:50 Yes, it effectively is the same thing but a little bit different. Yeah, I think that's what he's about to tell us. Again, we're hitting all the edge cases today, boys. All right. And then my question my question would be Yeah. Can I still put stuff here? I think the answer is no. No, I think the answer is yes, you can. However, if I lose anything, if you lose, you lose them both. Well, wouldn't this one just go cuz it's it's titanium on top? Uh, what? Hold on. He says, "But, uh, get rid of the gray battery." Oh, get rid of the gray battery. Okay. Okay. So, yeah, I believe you can still add batteries on top of that, but they have to They have to be gray to go on top of, correct? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Okay. Yeah. But I could reorganize to put this one there if I wanted to, for example, to re when you re when you get more batteries, which is about to happen. Although, you get a fourth card.

3:37:43 I just which technically is there but because payback. Okay. Yeah. All right. Now create your batteries. Change up your tracks. Um everybody owes me a battery. Do I What order do we do that in? Okay. So let's do this cuz I need to know if this battery vaporizes. Here we go. Replicate prepared batteries. Step one. I got Well, no. No. Not true because when do I Yeah. When do I You can You can do this freely. Oh, okay. Great. So So we're going to put this here. Okay. And then you can yeah make that battery as a part of that. Yeah. Done. Um red still owes me a battery here. Yeah, I'm still thinking about I'll take Nobody has any lava still. This one you can combine your beta matter if that is a thing you were doing as well. It is not a thing I am doing.

3:38:41 And then um I I'll make batteries. That That's what I meant, John. I realize I didn't say that. Yeah, I I'll I'll explain it. So, Ken, yeah, you don't you can put any battery on top of that shield marker. Okay. However, a titanium is the only thing that will stop it from moving. Sure. All right. So, I think I might as well go ahead and make an extra one. And you only made two, correct? Yeah, I only made two. Okay. Yep. So, like that. Good. All right. So, full full. Y'all are good with the batteries you have here. You're good with your Are you creating a preparing name batteries or any No, I'm good. Acid? Oh, I forgot I could do that. That's an interesting idea. What is What does acid give me? Two silicon. Silicon. Okay. All right. So, we're done then. And uh you're above five. You're above five. You're above five. All right. We're done with that.

3:39:33 Okay. Moving on to step five. Uh this should be really easy. So, step five, flip a chill one. Yeah. Oh, we have to refill this, right? Yeah. Yeah, it should. Mom moves once. She should have been We We did that. We just never shuffled and refill that. She makes me move. Uh she nudges you and you may move anywhere. Hold on. Anywhere adjacent. Yeah. Uh from the hatch cuz she moved forward. Yeah. So, I'm good. Okay. So, you chose to move there. Yep. Okay. Then that dropped down. Yep. Less than seven. So she's got seven action. Oh boy. Uh okay. What number?

3:40:19 Um it is 18 for you. Alphabot executes an attack. Beta bots in the same square or adjacent lose two shield. All right. So I lose this and and one. There you go. Elite cylindroid if adjacent would lose one. All cylindroids in adjacent are disintegrated. Yeah. I mean it's bad and good like big picture wise and maybe not in this instance but okay that moves. So we're done you could catch okay. It's just dad reflexes. Here it is. All right. So we are done. So now Alphabot distance we are here. Yeah, everybody is good there. Everybody is good there. Uh hand limit is five or four. No, it's five 44 to be clear because of that. Y uh turn order I believe has changed.

3:41:22 Yes, it has. So first, second, third. All right. event everything moves forward one. So one and that will hang out right there. Yep. Thank you. Uh pressure goes up clockwise on the tectonics. All right. Uh elite. Okay. So yeah, first things first. You're right. No, you're right. I'm agreeing with you. Um gas and silicon. You do silicon. I'll do gas. We'll do that is Oh, we got another that's flipping right there. Another flipperoo. Uh, no gas. No gas. Yeah, there it is. That's it. Okay, so this guy flips.

3:42:11 Oo. Okay. Wow. A lot. Okay. Potentially a lot of uh titanium. Titanium. Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty tasty. All right. All right. So now the event now the the hatch is going to go away. She comes back that go. Nope. No no no no no no yeah. Wait the wait. What's happening? Um oh because of the right. He's the last one. Yeah. Okay. Still the minor. Yeah. Okay. So it's not the laser side but that happened. So he's caught up to us. Done. Yeah. Um, by the way, one shot. I know he's going to get it. One shot. Glory here. Oh, that's what Oh, that's what you were. All right. I was trying to figure out how to do it first, but just didn't uh Chris, hold on. Chris says, "Just came in knowing nothing about this game.

3:43:04 This feels like watching cricket. People insane and doing things based on a set of rules that is comically impenetable. Impenetrable. Oh, that those is that's great. That is real true. That Yeah, that that's actually a fair statement. Um, okay. So, we are done. Uh, hold on. That was the event. Okay. So, now in turn order, we are drawing cards. Yeah. Starting. So, we go where we're going anticlockwise. So, yellow is drawing two cards must be different. Purple two cards must be different. Red can be three cards different or two of the same. Yep. Okay. Yep. So, I'm going to take the mining.

3:43:51 It's going to be too different. Yeah. Um and it has to be too different. You didn't have another option. Okay. George Foreman passed away. Oh, that's too bad. Um All right. All right. getting ready for when and that is down goes Frasier. I I literally was going to use that reference when the elite goes down, right?

3:44:23 Is Frasier still alive? I don't think I'm move. I don't think so. Okay. All right. So I got to take two different fact fact and there are two moves I believe. Yeah, I'm going to take one move here and I will take one mine here down. So I'm going to take two moves. Okay. Okay. So there is one move here. Y So now she's like Yep. because of that. Yeah. And I'm going to replace this deck. I will hand it to Edward because I know he does some post.

3:45:11 Yeah. Well, no. I No. All I do is usually cut and sometimes I shuffle if I'm doing it absent mindedly. So, um if you guys will give me just a minute. I am really struggling to find I'll go ahead and take this next one. Fair. Facts. Uh go ahead and program your stuff if you haven't. That actually works out.

3:45:32 Um, there it is. That's the stuff I'm looking for. That's the stuff. Really? Can you stop? Um, sure.

3:45:57 There it is. It's right here. Okay, I'm ready. Cool. Is Is there something? All right. So, I'm going to boost. Are you You know what? I'm not going to waffle on it. I'm good. You sure? I'm I Look, if I sat here and midmax, you guys would be sitting here staring at me for 10 minutes. So, we're just going to go. Okay. All right. So, I'm going to boost this action in order to attack. Attack. Okay. And I'm going to scrap it. Okay. So, you're reducing one stress. Yeah. Yeah. You have you came to the brink and you have looked at the abyss and said not today. Look in the eye of the No, but you have Hold on. Hold on. You have looked in the gas. At the eye said not today. Not today. Okay. I got you two lava. Two lava. Acid in the gas. And the abyss looks back and goes, "Well, how about tomorrow? Have an acid in the gas, please." Yes. And you're like, "Okay."

3:46:48 And now I don't have any empty tanks without So I'm going to put this here and it's going to liquefy. And that immediately becomes three lava. So three more lava. No. Okay, look. Put it back how it was. Yeah. All the way. All the way. Reset it. First time we're doing this. So here. So I'm going to put a lava in. Okay. So now that lava immediately liquefies the silicon and turns it into a lava. Y. And then it's N + one. So you're so that was that is the N and now the plus one. Okay. And then I have the other one because it was two. Yep. Okay. There you go. Gotcha. Yep. Oh, cuz you added a lava. Okay, that's where I apologize. My bad. I missed that step. Okay.

3:47:37 Oh, keeping the card or not? Okay. I have movement of three. I'm going to boost this move. One, two, three, four, five. Uh, come on. You are purple. Yeah. And how did you boost it? Uh, with the black battery that I got there. There you go. So, and then this comes here. Acidopoulos there. Get some stuff. Get some stuff. Facts. Done. Keeping a card. Negative, sir. I am attacking the uh darkness elite cylinder. Okay. Nice. So you attack it. Drop it down here. Let's drop it down to show. Right.

3:48:23 But not on. There you go. So if the minor elite cylindroid is eliminated, all cylindroids in a main vault are eliminated and returned to the bag. Then flip the elite cylindroid to its laser side and place it back on the last segment of the cylindroid belt. Now first you should probably collect your rewards. Oh yeah. Oh, apologies. So, get a titanium. Well, lose two stress first off. Yeah. Okay. Get a titanium, a silicon battery, and a titanium battery. Yeah, except not those things because you're you don't have room. Okay, you got that? Now, flip that. Yep. Back onto the belt. Yeah. Okay. Uh fill the segments. Oh, yeah. All the segments. Randomize, baby.

3:49:12 And this bad boy will flip boxes too. Um a moment based on presumably based on each segment there. Fill all segments. Yeah. So I think the I would say yes. Okay. It's just effectively resetting the game in that regard except you need to turn those boxes right side up. No boxes right side up like this. Yes. No box in that last one. Are you a monster dude? No box in that in that I think there's a decent chance we won't get in that one. No box there. Three player. Okay. But this one gets one. Yep. There you go.

3:49:51 Okay. All the bombs. Chris is having a blast with this. What's up, Chris? Yeah. All right. Uh, return the elites hatch token back. We've done that. Flipped it over to its purple, so I can't. Yeah. Yeah. and return to the box all the cards that have to do with the minor elite. Yeah. Right there. So, all those right there. Which? No. Oh, these. Yeah. Yeah. Until you get to a purple, right? Yeah. Uh that that basically is going to blow up. Yeah. Well, hold on. Turn that over. Yeah. Yeah. Let's relish. I mean, let's let's relish a little bit. Look, that basically says everything we just did. Yeah. Now, turn it over so that everyone can see. Everyone can see. Well done, Ken.

3:50:39 Do you feel accomplished? Even though Mambbot did like all the damage. She really did. She did that blow. No, he actually did most of the damage to himself. The ramming. That's right. Ramming speed. Um I think the rewards are different. Uh keep in mind the laser elite cylindroid attack targets everywhere, not just those that are adjacent. If the laser elite is eliminated, everything's gone. And that's it for the cylindroids. Like there will be no more. Say everywhere. You mean everywhere here or in the vault? Everywhere there. Now, now did we get a new uh reward card? Flip over. Oh, there's one. Yeah. Yeah. Uh so if you look Yeah. No, that's for Flip it over. That's the minor one. And flip that one over. You can see that this is for three players. That's the That's the laser one. Yeah. Great. So, there you go.

3:51:27 Okay. And then this goes back up here. Facts. Flip. And flip that, too. Flip that because it's no longer the minor. It's the laser. They thought of everything. Yeah. Seriously. Right. Okay. All right. All right. And now the game begins, boys. Yeah. We've got We've gone through seven and now we're good. Yeah. Did you discard that? Yeah. You discard. Well, hold on. And I'm being serious. Everybody has one card missing. So, we go back to player one. That's how you That's how you know who's up. Yeah. All right. So, I'm going to connect there. Oh, yeah. Welcome. All right. So we are we are at pressure too. So it's just straight up face buy a cool thing. Want to buy a cool thing down here? No.

3:52:12 No. Up here. Where are you? Here. Yeah. Those these are down here, aren't they? Oh, no. They all the advanced. They're all the advanced. Oh, yeah. You're right. So, I don't want to spend my What is this? E Exomatter. Exom. Okay. So, that means you're looking at those three. Yep. I mean, I could get that. I just don't want to spend it. You can definitely afford that. I can I think I can afford I can't I can't afford this one. So, it's between these two. Do Do you want to know what they are? Yeah, let's just Yeah. Okay. So, uh card numbers, help me out. Uh X38 X05. Okay. We'll start with X38 cuz that one looks badass. Here we go. Self-destruction activated can only be activated with a boosted subaction. You must be in the main vault and you lose three shield.

3:53:01 When activated, you affect the other robots in your location. You inflict one shield damage to all beta bots and cylindroids in adjacent squares. Yeah. Or you inflict two in your or and two in your square. You never deal damage to the elite or the alphabot. So, so I could take I could I could blow up a bunch of these in one bunch of the

3:53:33 cylind. So, okay. Um, what's the other number? X05. X05. So, it's probably whatever the previous one was cuz otherwise we're going to run out of boxes. That is a good point. So, that was it was the cold or the hard one. I already know what that one is. That one's not great. So, I'm gonna actually spend a yellow, a silicon, a gas, an acid, and a lava. Mr. Lava lava never ultimately spending two lava sound like Venio del Toro. One of those. I mean, there's worse people. Seriously, have you watched him in Sakario? Bad man. Thinking more Way of the Gun. Uh, also the opening scene to that movie is still one of It is my favorite opening in any movie of all time. I wouldn't say we're much of a brains operation. So, does this mean I have to have these in my tank at the end of the game? Uh, yeah. Don't I thought they um disappear.

3:54:29 They do. Time it right. Um, there are these melting furnaces. That's the only way that I I mean, there's a lot there's there's actually a couple of other ways, items and stuff that let you hold lava. Lava. Okay. Um, or have one lava in a tank and one lava in a tank by itself because I don't know if that cools off, does it? It solidifies. Not sure. That's all right. Um Oh, no. We screwed something up. Hold on. I'm looking. Let me see. We I never like seeing that. Check Discord. No. What? I see nothing. Yeah, I see nothing. So, you're going to uh just tell me. I have no idea, Fernando. All right. I There's nothing there. All right. What do we got? I'm going to get rid of that. Okay.

3:55:17 Uh, we are up to player two. Go Paul. Yeah, this is a boosted mine. Boosted mine. I get four acid. You are here. Y and we are at pressure level two. That's a massive acid trip right there. Okay. Done. Done. Keeping the card or not? Sir, you're up. Am I gonna keep that card? Am I gonna keep Okay, never mind. Apparently, I did it right. Whatever it was. Okay, keep that card. I'm going to move. You have six. You have three movement. That was That was exciting. Okay. Done. Back to me. Yes, sir. All right. So, I'm going to move and I have three movement. And you are currently I'm currently there. There, which is I was going to go collect a bunch of stuff. Um, but distinct lack of bunch of stuff. Yeah.

3:56:13 Um, that would be one, two, three. I can't get there because of the lock. One, two, three. I should probably just uh Here's the other thing I would like to point out. Not not telling you your game. You know me. But actually, if you were to go one, two, three, four by boosting it, you could get I don't know, a bunch of stuff. Yeah, but I don't want that. I don't need that stuff. Oh my god. He's so needy. He wanted a bunch of stuff. He You didn't specify. I wanted the stuff that was on there. Ah, so it's all gone now. Yep. Um, I'm just myself. But that spot is here. Boy, that's far away. I'm amazed at my energy level. Well, I think you've crossed over, right? I think so. I think so. When when like you know a kid you trying to get your kid to sleep and they're so tired they can't lie down, right? I got to go see mom. That's that's the move. All right. Go see mom.

3:57:10 So, uh, hold on. And you came in. Oh, I came in from here. So, they would both be the same. No, look at the icon. Yeah, I know. I'm just trying to see if there's a different way. It's into there. What's your movement? It's two, but I do want I don't want to come here in case she lands on me. So, this is good. All right. Oh god, I did it wrong again. Sorry. So, he came in from the side right there. Yep. Yeah, from down there. Yep. Okay. All right. Back to me. Uh, that's one. Yes, sir. I'm going to mine again. and get two more acid. Done. Not keeping the card. Go ahead. Okay. Wow. Well done. Both. All right. Little interacting. Go here. Do this this job right here. All right. So, Mr. Acid Acid.

3:58:01 Uh, she moves. She's moving, folks. She does. Not with me. By by the way, that drops. Yeah. Okay. I'm left alone. Uh you are in fact right there now in space. We are in five. All right. Nothing else had this goes away. Uh let me see. Was there anything else? It's funny how unprepared I was for that because of what happened in our last game. Yeah. So she moves. Good. Done. Hatch. New hatch. New hatch. Done. And hatch is closed. Uh for right. It's it's a mystery right now, but yes, it is technically closed. You are correct. Not retaining it. And uh missed one thing. This is on me. It won't have changed anything, but I would like to fix it cuz I Okay, back when mom was here, the locks, but I also missed that she gains a shield. Sweet. All right, so we're gonna add one to it. And now this one says scrap. Uh she gets to add batteries. So her battery supply one yellow battery. So my bad on that.

3:59:15 Apologies. That comes off though. There we go. Sweet. Okay. Nothing's happening. Are we going to events or Oh. Uh we're doing We just Everyone took all their turns. No, hold on. He just did this. Oh yeah. Okay. Yep. So we are done with three and answer Chris. I assume it's self-evident that for most fans of this channel, hashtag or quote unquote, "Oh my god, this is completely impenetrable is like one of our favorite feelings." Oh, we love it. We really kind of do in in some ways. Um yeah, it's a good thing we don't live in the Hellraiser world cuz we would all be cenobites at this point. Yeah, we would all have just solved all the puzzle boxes. Produce batteries. You have no batteries to produce. Yeah. So therefore, you may rearrange and both of you owe me a battery here.

4:00:09 Did you mess up? No. Okay. Just shielding my nose. Yeah. I don't know. That was me. Sorry. That was Lincoln. Terrible indigestion tonight. I'm sorry. Sorry. I thought it was my upper lip. It's It's not you, John. I apologize. It literally was just It's Edward's Eper. Seriously, it's it's the meatball sub. It really is. Well, I guess that is my fault then, too. It really kind of is. Okay. So, we're doing Yeah. You're rearranging batteries. Oh, yeah. And all of that. And if you are creating any batteries? No. Combining beta matter. You have acid. Well, that's an interesting idea. I think I'm going to chill in that. Okay.

4:00:57 I don't really need silicon. I think you still owe me a battery. Oh, I do owe you a battery. And then rearrange your batteries. Yeah. I don't know if that would impact anything. So, it doesn't. Okay. Thank you, though. Yep. Uh I think I like this. You're above five. You're above five. He's above five. We're done with that. So, now I I've combined these, which means now they turn into what I need, right? Uh yeah. So, uh, those turn into four silicon. Yeah. Oh, and this solidifies. And it does. That becomes one beta matter. Yeah. All three of them go away, right? Yeah.

4:01:40 All right. All that's done. So here, nothing going on. So instead, we are just going to go there. Sorry, it's starting to flip. And this will drop. Uh, all right. Draw two different cards in turn order. Everybody that is there with mom, which is red. So, two cards that are dissimilar, sir. Cool. I'll take this one. And I'll take a movement. You sure? I mean, I'm I'm over hand limit so it's kind of like Okay. Um, so now she is seven or less. Y we look that is not at zero. We're going to do an aggressive AI and that will move up.

4:02:33 Aggressive AI says come on, dude. Move to the center. Uh, I No, it's an eject. Yeah, but I don't know that it happens if you're inside. So, we haven't encountered that. Apologies. I'm pretty sure it does, but I'm actually trying to root for you. What number is that? 16. 16. Inside the hole or on top are ejected. Place them in entry square and they lose a shield. Yep. Okay. And then she does it again cuz we're not at zero yet. Uh, hold on. Hold on. Um, so do the Yeah, you're right. Yikes. Okay, it happens. Yeah, it happens. That is number 17. That's not good. A beta bots in the same square or adjacent. Lose two shields. Thank god that thing moves. So, one, two. I got Ken is bitter. This is good for us.

4:03:34 Yeah, but yeah. And that will move up. Celebrate two. I surrender. What? You're winning right now. I'm not winning. Yes, you are by a Y. No, I'm not. You currently are. I am not. How do you figure? Paul has 12 points. I got three points. It's not even close. Okay, Ken's angry. I'm sorry. I apologize. Okay, so we're done with that alphabet distance here. Everyone's behind. We're good. Hand size. You are limited to five if you're can, four if you're not can. Yeah, I'm good.

4:04:22 Uh, here. I'll take that. I'll turn that one. I guess it just goes in there. I appreciate it. Uh, turn order is yellow, purple. Yep. Same as it ever was. New event. New event. Flip it. Everything's moving. One. There's one. There's one. Uh, pressure level moves up to three. Clockwise, sir. A silicone or I'm sorry, a uh carbon. Thank you. Where's all the gas? We know where the gas is. That's where it all is. Uh, that Nope. That's already full. Yeah. Done. Uh that comes into a Okay. And event uh hatch stays closed.

4:05:15 Yep. Done. Okay. All right. Uh drawing cards starting with yellow. You get one card. Ken gets one card. Three different. Two of the same. You get two different. Yep. That's terrible. Um I guess I'll take the boosted move, please. Yes, you will. Won't you? Ed, if you could hand me boost and move. Yeah, got you. Thank you. That's it. That's it. That's all I get. Okay. Oh, great. I get two different two different. Fantastic. I'll take that. And sure. Yeah. And Ken, three different, two of the same.

4:06:02 Um, I mean there are three of them left. Three moves left. Sure. I assume that's what you were. Three turns. No. Oh, three moves. Yeah. Move him. But how many turns max right now? One, two. Yeah. After this one. After that. Yeah. Um, I'll take Was Mama bot working for the cylinder droids this whole time? If you're Ken, do you think so? Two of I think I I think I need to sort of like wager that I can get a boosted one. Um uh it's funny. I keep forgetting to use this, but we we haven't we've got it down at this point. So, I'll take two of the mines. Two mines. Yeah. Okay.

4:06:58 One. Yeah. Two. All right. Program your stuff, fellas. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Uh here while they're programming uh just a quick reminder if you are a patron we're going to be having a roundt discussion discussion after this uh for a little bit since uh me Ken and Paul all have a lot of hours uh with our with this game under our belt at this point. So we'll do that. And if you're not a patron thank you for watching. Appreciate consider supporting the show. patreon.com/hcchq and please like and sub subscribe. Wow, I've been talking a lot today. Please like and subscribe.

4:07:49 Trying to get that to 850. It'd be awesome to get that to 800 tonight though. So, please, you get benefits. We get benefits. Every you get access to the Slack channel and a ton of patronon content including the round table discussion tonight. So, there you go. Good. Good. No. Oh, I thought the heavy sigh was that it's lamenting. That was you. All right. I I think so, but apparently not.

4:08:42 It really is. Chris says, "Mama bought the cylindroids." Sounds like an all robot doo-op cover. Like, right. They played at the Jetsons, like when they would go eat, like the lounge there. I think so. Right. Yeah. I No, the reason I wanted to do this on a Friday was I knew it was going to be long and this way you guys don't have to get up stupid early. Normally. Yeah. For work at least. All right. We good? Yeah. Program, sir. You only programmed two. Oh, I have two cards. Oh, it's funny, isn't it? Well, I mean, if you're sitting here, it is. All right. So, I'm moving in here. That's one. And then I'm going to move here. Yep. Two. Yep. Checks out. And I'm going to save it. All right. All Okay. All right. One, two, three. I can only move two per move. So, this was a boosted move to get me to there.

4:09:43 And would would you like that curvance? I would. Thank you. And that's it. I'm not keeping it. All right, sir. Maybe the green. Maybe I will keep it. I'm also moving there. I am uh to here. Nice. I am actually going to turn this in and I'm going to keep flashing. Okay. Uh I appreciate it. So, one, two. Your movement's at least two. It is. So, that will come there. That is now snuggling up. You two are cuddling. So pressure level does not matter. This happens in technically in turn order. So Paul, what do you want? I'll take a shield and two exo. A shield damage and two exo. Okay. Yes. So make sure you drop your shield. And Ken, I'm taking a carbon and a beta. Beta matter. Yeah. Okay. And are you keeping the card? Uh no. Okay. I uh let's take a step back. I um wanted to keep this. So, two stress two stress and a and a carbon cube one. Paul, did you just get the carbon? I got the carbon when I I got the carbon when I landed here. Yeah.

4:10:46 Yeah. Yeah. So, that's Yeah, that's that's valid. Yeah, he took it. The one that was there. Yeah. So, that's legit. All right. Real quick. I don't even need to look this one up. I know who this is. Hey, Chris F. Cheers. Thanks for uh thanks for the support. I appreciate that. Thanks, Chris. Awesome. All right. All right. So, uh, back to one. All right. So, I'm going to do a boosted connect action. Uh, boosted interaction. Yeah. Big difference. All right. So, you were here. Are you doing console or server? I think server because I needed to get the cards and there's still no acid in her tank. So, I can't get that alpha transfer hack or whatever it's called. Dude, I'm that sentence. I'm a I'm now put myself in Chris's shoes.

4:11:37 Yeah. All right. So, is this boosted or not? It is boosted. Okay. So, you're bumping this up, actually. No, it's already boosted. Oh, it's pre- boosted. Okay. Okay. So, what does pre- boost? What does boosted get me in this? Okay. So, if you wanted to use this uh here then um a moment. There it means you can take both actions. That's what boosted means. Yes. I can draw cards and and buy a card. And then if you do that, you're going to lower your stress by one. That will come up and it allows you. No, he's saying he's got it pre-boosted. So he's not he's not using the battery titanium. Well, you could Oh, okay. Never mind. I didn't know I could do both. You It's not All it's doing is planting it here and unlocking this and lowering your stress, right?

4:12:28 So, yeah. So, I'm going to do that. So, you are using a battery. Okay. So, drop one stress. Yep. Okay. And now this allows you uh it's for the standby. You're right. Okay. So now I can take both of these because it's boosted, right? Correct. You could have done that without that. This basically just allows you to lower a stress one. Right. So cards because this is full. You may draw both of those or both of those. Take both of those, please. Okay. So one here, one here. you now have more than two cards and then you may purchase uh any one of these. Now, also the something I haven't mentioned yet is for two stress you could wipe them. No.

4:13:15 Okay, so I'm going to buy the melting furnace for Oh, I'm shocked. And so it is uh Yeah, one of each and a black battery. Yep. And guess what? Two points. Yep. And I'm not going to be able to do the benefit, but that's Now hold on. You could cover the other one. You still get the points if you're not using it to where you might get the benefit next round. I don't know. True. Not enough time. Good enough. So, this So, the melting furnace does what now? It uh lets you keep your lava alive. Okay. So, I can save lava. Yeah. Yes. But it's different than this. I'm just wondering what the It It modifies this tank. Card number. Oh. Uh A05D. So, it modifies this tank. Yeah. A to keep your modified. Oh, and it doesn't solidify. Right. I see the symbols. Okay. Yeah.

4:14:02 Doesn't just doesn't solidify. Now, the last thing that I will talk about with this is this comes down. Yeah. And fills that slot. And now the standby, which we have not seen before. We have not. And so, uh, the viro axe allows you to mine plus or minus one level, one pressure level. So, that's cool. That's that's handy if you're willing to pay a stress for that. If you need a connect action and plus a stress. Yeah. Do we do it? I don't know. It I I didn't get a notification. My head was down, so I didn't I didn't see. No, this will let me know if so. So, but not yet. So, $7.99. $7.99. It's not a bad price. Okay. All right. Uh, that was not keeping that.

4:14:51 On to player two. Uh, I am What is this card? I'm going to hold on to this. I'm done, sir. Oh, yeah. No. I don't know why I put it over there. I'm going to mine. I'm going to spend one of these and get two exo matter. You're going to do that. Uh he spent a shield to get two. I can't do that because we're That only happens when I like move in. Yeah, correct. We are at pressure level three. So, you would get that. Oh, an exo and a carbon. That's still pretty good. Worth the shield loss. Okay. Um, so I did have another card I forgot about. Sure. Okay. Sorry. Is Is it okay if I use it? I mean, it's not going to affect anybody, I don't think. Yeah, I'm totally fine with that. I mean, I would have. It would have been a one right there. All right, then. Go. It's your turn. Yep. Back to me. Okay. So, I'm going to move and I'm going to move just right here, so to be clear. Going one, two. Yeah. And where's the gas spot later? This one. Yeah. Okay. So, could go No. To be to be clear, it's here.

4:15:55 It's one, two. Yeah, you would have to go. Eventually, I'm going to go there. So, this is good. Okay. Where am I? Um, you are here and you were uh hold on. Oh, my movement was only two. So, then Nope, cuz you were technically here. Yeah. One is to make it there to come out and then a second would go to there to there wherever. Let me go there and get a yellow cube. Yeah. Okay. Then we'll just we'll go here. and get the battery. Get the battery. Yeah, there's a battery already. Oh, yeah. There's a battery there. Why not, man? Yep. Cool. And then my You got it. Okay. Card. Card. Curd. Curd. Sir, uh, take this back. I'm done, sir. Yeah. Okay.

4:16:49 So, I'm I'm I'm mining again. Losing one shield, an exo and a carbon. Yep. Pivot. All right. Uh cards done now. Uh nobody has any batteries prepared. No. Um yellow, you owe me a battery here. Everybody else, rearrange your batteries. I'm good. Uh move your resources and then combine beta matter if you were so inclined. Am I so inclined? Yeah, I'm inclined. I mean, I don't No, I'm not inclined. Am I inclined? Oh, that's a bummer, Chris. I'm sorry. Missing your kids stuff, that just sucks. But that said, I mean, there's that.

4:17:42 And get to hang out. Yeah. With us. So, we appreciate you joining tonight. Thank you. Uh is everybody happy with your beta matter status uh combining and all that stuff? I think so. Everyone good? Yeah. Okay. Um and uh sir, do you wish to change your AI? Um and actually it's in player order. This may matter. So John, do you wish to change your AI? No. From co-op to Okay, you cannot. Do you wish to, sir? Yeah, I'll change it. What? Okay. All right. Rude. So now, excuse me. Um, where is it? There it is.

4:18:30 All right. So, the minor The minor attacks. The minor only attacks same or adjacent. Yep. So, misses. All good. Does it destroy the boxes? That's your question. No. No. Is can it move? cuz it didn't technically attack, right? So A1 to A2. Yep. Okay. And now mom. Mhm. Uh so this is sorry. She will resolve a standard to start. Standard is draw two cards in turn order. So we are one two different cards. John, I thought you had to be there. You do. You do. I apologize. Nobody's there. None of us are there. Sorry it's getting late. All right. And now aggressive AI. Uh, she moves back to the beginning.

4:19:18 She already is there. No difference. This moves up one. Did you move that? I moved it already. So it goes there. And we're at zero. We're done. So now alphabet distance. Alphabet is here. Both of these are ahead. So red and purple take one stress both take one stress. Yep. Yellow takes none. Hand limit for red is five. Y'all is four. Yep. Okay. Good. Turn order is same, right? Yellow, purple. Good event. Flip it. All right. One pen. Ultimate turn one. Uh, not necessarily. I I I would like to point something out. This is rare, but this might be one of those times that it's when all three get here. Ah, so orange still has Okay, just saying.

4:20:20 Okay, so normally this guy gets there last, but not always. So, no tectonics, no nothing. Beta matter and carbon and carbon. So, one beta, one carbon close to flipping one beta here. Beta, wrong thing. there. Yeah. And that's it. Uh, no. A beta. Yeah. Turn order matters for this guy and this guy. And nothing up there. A and B comes out. So, this is A1 first. And what happens to the stuff that's in there? Uh, one of the boxes goes here and the other one goes away, right? Uh, no. But it can hold four things. So it would just Oh, I see. Like that. Yeah.

4:21:11 Okay. There we go. Boxes for your enjoyment. Card uh hatch opens also. Yeah. Flip it. So this one, first time we've seen this. Battery town. Uh pick a battery of your choice. Yeah. Sweet. And no damage for going and mining that. Okay, that's a good one. Okay. And remember, if you're on there, you get two batteries of your choice. Okay. All right. So, yellow, you're drawing two cards. Everybody else is drawing one card. So, yellow, you're up.

4:21:54 I will take a move and a extract, please. A move and an extract. Mhm. Okay. And one card for Paul. Oh boy, that boosted extract sure is nice. Take it,

4:22:20 Ken. One card. He wanted that, I assume. I mean, it doesn't really matter. Does it make Does it make sense to go in here and get shot by everybody? Probably not. Um, well, the explosives will arm and the miners only are adjacent, right? Sure. So, to be clear, if you went there, you could mine there and that's a safe location. Yeah, that's holding more batteries, but my Yeah, just just pointing out. Yes.

4:23:00 Uh, all right. Let's see. Good start for Oregon. Up 3916. Oh my goodness. Pretty good. Yeah. Yeah, that's a good start. They're playing Liberty. Yeah. But don't worry if we make the Sweet 16. That's it. So that's okay. We're playing Duke. So, yeah, that'll be tough. Yeah, I know. Um, I suppos my card, but I guess I Does it even really matter?

4:23:47 All right. Hey, Alyssa. Sorry I missed that. I hope you have a great night. I'll take a move. I'll take the move. All right. Move. Didn't mean to make that sound boine. Program your stuff. program yours

4:24:11 and nobody's programming four, right? I'm just making sure that we don't miss that this time. I am not just trying to keep it on top of it. All right. Uh so we are activating sir. So I'm going to take a boosted move and go one. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Oh, that's not Yeah, there you go. No, one up. You go up into here first because that's not a correct. One, two, three, four. Oh, no. Five, six. That's what I was trying to point out last round, but I got shushed, I guess. So, did you? I don't think anybody shush. Well, nobody shushes you. I just I felt like he was I got it. Oh, okay. Cool. Well, here while while uh John's Hold on just while you're debating. Um Oh, cuz hold on. Do not disturb us on cuz you know it's that time of night. Yeah. Um it's when most people would be sleeping.

4:25:12 Oh no. Oh, there it goes. Number 800, ladies and gentlemen. That's awesome. I'm excited. So, Lucas CP, cheers. Now, don't get me wrong, Lucas. I'm especially grateful to you, but I'm also grateful to the other 799. But thank you very much. Cheers. Ah, that's it. 50 more to go. Four days, boy. Let's go. Let's go. Let's All right. Well, okay. So, okay. Let's whatever. So, I'll go one. No. Yeah. One, two, three. Okay. Look, I'm not I'm not trying to be mean. Okay. So, I'm over here. You are. Yep. You have move over there. It is getting late. Yeah, it is. Go. Uh, all righty. So, we're going to um Yeah, we're going to move.

4:26:10 All right. Boosted. What you got? Just going to go right there. Take one stress. Uh, yeah. So, you Yeah, right there. Wrong one. you uh by the way you move the wrong one though. Oh, I did move the wrong one. That's why. Okay. Sorry about that. Now, before you move, do you want that? Oh, if I activate right because is that is that how that works? I can just that. Yes, you're there. Um I'm not trying to hate on Ken. I'm just That's the rules. It's the rules. I didn't even Just so I don't screw up again. I can go from here to here even though the arrow is going. Yes, 100%. That is if you look closely. It's a mouth. It It is. Yeah. See, cuz my thing was in the way. Yeah. Chompy. Chompy. Yeah. So, all right. Good. Did you do you get you get a stress for that? And did you get it already? I gave him the stress. He gave me the stress. All right. I stressed him out. Uh, keeping No. Okay. Ditching.

4:27:06 So, Shazer, I know you were looking forward to this. Um, if you don't want to say publicly, I'm slack. I'm very curious to hear uh your thoughts on this one after what you had written in Slack earlier today. So that's No, no, I'm curious.

4:27:30 You know what you right? I sure do. Okay, take your time. You're good. Not sweating anybody. Yeah, multiple people can be here, right? 100%. But There are two deliveries. So, yeah. Yeah, you could do that. This is the first time I've been in a situation where we haven't had to like race to get somewhere to deliver. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I guess why?

4:27:57 No, I should wait. I should wait. Um, so then what's productive to do right now? What did I even program move? I can't even do that. I mean, like you said, like 35 hours of of playing this and learning this and everything has culminated in tonight. I don't mind you all taking a little extra time trying to like make it to where at the end you feel good about where you guys have 35 hours. I have about eight.

4:28:45 Yes, that's true. So, you're taking that back. Okay. So, the FNG for sure mine here. Um, so that is a lava and two carbon. So, I have We are level four. Yep. Lava and two carbon. Checks out. Going to get my melting furnace. Nice.

4:29:07 Back to finesse to me facts and I keeping the card Paul. All right, I'm going to deliver. So you've got uh Okay, so it's a boost to connect which I've got right here. Checks out. Yep. So that goes away. All the criteria, the ship's there. You're good. We know you can do it. So, I'll do this. Uh, and I will put out um C. And I'll flip that over like that. Put your delivery up top. This is C. Nobody gets stressed. Everyone's just relieved that somebody made a damn delivery. There is what that comes out to be. So, I'm going to deliver two exom and I'm going to deliver all of this acid. All right. Done. That was quite the trip. Okay.

4:29:54 You're good at this game. You're good. You Oh, boy. All right. So, card. Uh, could you spell that? Yeah, that's five N's. Yes. Uh, let's see. Yeah, I'm going to keep it. Okay, keep it. Okay, I'm take it back. I'm going to take the next one back, too. Are you really? Yeah. You're stalling. I I just I don't There's nothing There's nothing to do. Oh. All right. So, I'm going to mine again. It's the same exact thing. So, lava and two carbon. Same spot. And I'm going to take a shield hit just so I could keep it. Yep. Makes sense. Okay. Y shield already. Yeah, I just moved it.

4:30:41 Okay. All right. You're good. Y sir. Um what I don't remember is is this now taken? Nobody else can deliver here. Okay. Okay. Yes. That's not it. I'm This is still deliverable though. That That will be once this moves there. Assuming it doesn't move two and go right off the board, but I don't think it will. Right. Me? Yeah. All right. I will do this one. Okay. So, you are spot. Uh, which one? This one? No, the one that pays one. Okay. Okay. I don't know. I'm not being a smartass. All right. One stress for red. Yeah. There. Okay. Done. Yep. Okay, so everybody's actions are done. Yep. Uh okay. Uh replic No batteries. Uh battery replicating. Do yours. Um nobody took boosted. Uh by the way, red is technically right there. Change out your batteries if you were so inclined. Organize your battery track. Combine your beta matter. And let me know when you're ready to move on to the next phase. I believe I am ready. I'm ready.

4:31:58 Oh, that's all three of you. Yes. Okay. Uh, all right. Take our time on this. So, this is going to happen. So, we go laser, minor, explosive, elite. Yeah. Laser, none, minor. This happens. They hit uh adjacent one shield. And then this adjacent, one shield, nothing. Pause. We're at zero. There is no right uh thing reaction. So then those just arm done. Now this one attacked doesn't move. This one did not attack. This will move. Does move. That will go there. These two have not moved. These two will move to there.

4:32:44 I need to double check if it pushes the other one out. I don't think it does. Yeah, it's not full. Right. Yeah. Okay. Um they have moved. So now uh standard AI that's important. She moves. She moves and it will move straight. She will immediately absorb absorb two batteries. Pause for a minute. But she's full of batteries. So no batteries, nothing. No damage. Y. So this dropped down and now she's less than seven or seven or less. So now go ahead. Yep. And essentially nothing. Uh, ejects everybody. Right. Done. And then this will raise up. Yeah. And we're less than seven. We're done. Y. All right. So, we go into alphabet distance here. Red and purple both take one stress.

4:33:39 Yellow is fine. We're good. Uh, hand limit. It is four for those two, five for that one. Yeah, I'm good. So, that's pretty important. You can stack deliveries. Okay. I thought so. Really? I thought Yeah, you're allowed to stack. You can only have up to three. Okay. It doesn't mess anything up for you, does it? Would you have Would you have delivered to red? Cuz red's gone. Okay. So, yeah, red's probably gone. Okay. I thought so. I I I did not think that these were just only one person could deliver. Uh and I apologize. I was just trying to see if someone could uh screw me out of it. If I delivered to this one already, I can't deliver it to it again though. Right. Right. Cuz you don't have the Well, no, you can because you have a different letter. Okay. Um, hand size. We just checked. First, second, third, same order. This is the penultimate turn. Go.

4:34:33 Everybody's moving. All right. Now, no. Um, red goes away. Goes away. Did not do all the deliveries. Everybody takes 10 stress. This is going to hurt. So, one thing at a time. Yeah, we're You know what? This is I was I was hoping Ken would deliver at least something so that we wouldn't end up taking this damage. This is where we're at so I don't forget. Yeah. So, one, two, three, four. What do I flip over? That Yeah. Four. You owe six. Lose six shields. One, two. Pink. Yep. Four, five, six. Good. You are copathetic.

4:35:22 Uh, purple is going to go one, two, three, four. Ping John. Oh, yeah. Who's a shield? Yeah. Why does he ping me? I thought he jumps me. He's going to keep pinging me. No, I don't. Oh, that's a good question. Okay, another edge. sitting on 40. So, I don't know if everybody can just sit on 40. We'll check that. Well, no, because it's plus 40. Yeah, I No push. Okay. Okay. No, no push was there before. Oh, was it 1, two, three, four? That was five. You owe Oh, no. You owe six. I owe six. Yes. Okay. So, this flips over. And I owe six shields. Yes. Is that what we heard? One, two, three, four, five, six. which makes this go away. Yes, it does. Yep. Checks out.

4:36:13 Yeah. Okay. Uh now, not to have Ken outdone 25 to 35. 30. 1 2 3 4 five. Make your deliveries, people. Tried to tell you. All right. So, you can't go over 40 stress. Yeah. Right. For scoring purposes, I I'm gathering. So, everyone can technically be at 40 as long as they're still losing shields to absorb the additional stress. You actually close the gap then. Yes. Points. Yeah. Right. In a sense. Uh pressure goes up to four. Oh boy. Uh this moves. Yep. Clockwise. Uh lava and the hatch closes. Uh but no bots come out. See lava. No. No.

4:37:04 No. Two there. No. No. One comes there and nothing up there. Did we forget to move the orange ship? I have not moved the orange ship and the hatch is closing. Okay. So, that is on C. So, next turn is the last turn. This turn is the last turn. This is the last turn because that will move and that triggers the end of the game immediately. Thank you. I did mention that. Yeah. Um, not yet. Uh, oh, sorry. There's an X. We're good. We're done. Yep. I think Ken was telling you about the orb. Oh, yeah. Green light. Green light. We You need a mirror like right there so that you can see it. Or I need a second light. That would be awesome. Or a sound. Well, this normally does, but it's it's not cooperating cuz it's late and tired apparently. Um I know that. All right.

4:37:58 Oh no. Oh no. So full disclosure, I messed up. I need to load more numbers. We don't have enough. You broke it. Whoever get that and write on the screen. No, I will not. So, here 801. There we go. There we go. That's a reminder. I apologize. Good problem to have. Yeah. Uh, Dan done. So, done. Double D. Double D getting it done. Done and done. Ah, I like Dan. I like Dan. Thank you very much for the support. I appreciate it. Dan gets it done, man. All right. Okay. Here we go, boys. Last round. So, we are uh here. So, uh one, two. Different. Yep. Starting with yellow. Yep. I'll take cuz uh these remain the same even though they're both at 40. Did we take the stress for being ahead of mom? Yeah. Okay. So, I'll take the boosted move all the crazy stuff.

4:38:58 Yeah. Say again. Boosted move. boosted move. And now mom moves to the end. Yeah. Yeah, she does. And I'll take the Is that the last extract? What happens under that? Uh this. Yeah, it is the last. And she harvests from the thing, but only if it's open, right? Uh no, she harvestes no matter what. So shuffle both of those, please. It's the shield one. Oh, it's it's just batteries, so it doesn't She's already full. Yeah. Full up. Oh, right. Okay. And the other one I took was move, right? Yeah.

4:39:40 Yeah. Yeah. So, it ends in the event phase basically. Yeah. It ends at the beginning of a round. Like, I just I totally Yeah. Ken reminded me he he nailed it. All right. So, you drew your card. Good programming, sir. I have not. He hasn't draw card. Good. Right. Good. You're programming, sir. Draw my card. Yes. Exactly. I get one card. Um I get a single card. Do I even want to just to remind people, you must have two shield or one shield and two batteries to deliver if that's a thing you're trying to do. Just reminding everybody cuz things are getting, dare I say, stressful. It's getting close. Dare you say they are. I'll take this move. I don't want to just Oh, wait a minute.

4:40:34 Again, you can take a minute. Like, we made it this far. People want to see this. John's all stressed. Look at him. He's all like, so yeah, this is good. Oh no. I'm going to have to play deep breathing bodics next time. Uh oh. I can't do that anyway. I can't do that anyway. Uh I'm just going to take this move. I'm done. When is I will also take a move. When is the mindfulness expansion coming out, right? Combine. Okay. So, everyone has drawn. Program all your stuff. Make sure you're programming the right amount based on your batteries. Yeah. Mhm. Because that was significant for some. Yep. Uh uh.

4:41:21 Done. Good. Yeah. All right. Player one. All right. Boosted move. Yeah. So, all right. Hold on. We're going to check your work. No, no offense on that, but I can move two. Boosted. So, I can move four. So, you move four. One, two, three, four. Check out. Yes. One, two, three, four. All right. And are you probably not keeping it? No. Okay. Paul. Paul. Uh, I am normal move. And how many? Uh, two. Okay. And I am one, two into mom's zone. Okay. So, you are purple and you came in from the exit. Yep. So, it's technically right next to dear old mom. Yep. Oh, yeah. I wasn't expecting that. It's okay. It's not okay. So, that's fine. I'm just going to do this cuz camera is on the other side. So, there we go. If you had enough moves, you could go here and then come back.

4:42:18 It's true. One. That's not the end of the world. If you had enough room, you could technically do that. Or even up here. One. How could I do that? You could boost it. One. Yeah. Two. Three. Four. Or and that moves in here. Or you could go three, four. And if so, then it comes in here. I want to do that. Which one? Uh, I Where do I want to be? Oh, those are those are boommy, aren't they? Yeah. I want to come in here. So you boosted it with this. That's funny. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Thumbs up. Okay. So that is there. Here, sir. I'm taking a boo boosted connect action. Hey, I'm shocked. Shocked. I said you have all the criteria for this bad boy. So go ahead. We are You are going into Oh, this is going to hurt. Yeah, this is going to hurt y'all more than Ha. Yeah.

4:43:15 Card. I won't lose any more points, though. Uh, this one, right? Yeah. Yeah. And Ken, you want to go ahead and throw this bad boy right here? I wish I could have delivered, but um I used my C already. Delivering to see. We got six carbon. Yeah, we got two main matter. Yeah, that that seems good. I would like to point out when he was Yeah. Yeah. lamenting earlier, I am not winning. Yeah. I was like, yeah, yeah. Okay. Uh, just pointing that out. So now I'm still not sure. We'll see. Delivery. I'm going to lose five or five. Right. I'm going to be on fire here. Deliver. We'll get there. Yeah, we'll get there. All right, everybody. Not named Ken. Yeah, we'll do this in turn order. Should I check my driver's license just to see? Yeah. So, all right, John. Yep. I'm going be right there. Five, five. So, one, two, three, four, five. Yep. Uh, wait. No, that one just goes on top of that one. Yeah. Right here. Yeah. No, I mean that battery goes away. The only battery you have left is that one. Oh, this one. Yeah. And all those go away.

4:44:19 There you go. Rough. Uh, I'm not on fire yet. Have to go down. I have to lose this battery. Correct. Yeah. Okay. I believe so. I've never seen this. So, you're autoaggressive in case you are autoagressive. Yeah. Okay. Paul, good thing it's the last time. Here we go. Five. Five. One. He's gonna be Yeah. Uh Ping. That's two. Yes. Three. Four. Four. Mooi. Mooi in Fuego. Yeah. Uh and then that other battery goes too matters. Yeah. And now you can flip your tile for the first time in Trust Botics history on heavy cardboard. So, uh and what is this? Is that there? There you go. Y. What does that mean? Don't know yet. Um, so now it says I'm on fire, but I I have a movement of six. He does have a cuz he's all over. Yeah, I have a movement of six. If I ever but I'm permanently down here, I think it just means I literally can't take any more damage. Um, and as soon as I gain a shield, I flip back over to the A. Oh, wait a minute. Um, or is there an auto repair or something? Hold on. One, two. Hold on. Yeah. One, two. Yeah. No, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, hold on.

4:45:37 Fernando is asking how you're delivering to the scout. Like, am I? Yeah. Yeah. That was stress level. Am I But I'm not past the C, am I? Right. Oh, let's see here. So, I think you can't be here. Oh, you are correct. Yeah, you're way high. Cool. I forgot about that one. You're right. Yep. You are correct. I apologize. Sorry, Ken. We wanted to see the fire. No, we wanted to see the fire bot. Well, unfortunately, you guys get to Yeah, you guys get to redo your things. I apologize. Sorry, Ken. I should have caught that and I didn't. What was it?

4:46:23 What was that about? Ken winning. Yeah. No, that that Oh, that's ugly. Okay, that's awesome. Yep. Okay. Well, Ken, backing that up. Sorry, Ken. Are you doing the command? I will just take all these off. We don't have to worry about me. Okay. Fair. All right. Go. Uh, John. John. Okay. So, I'm mining where I am. And so, I'll take two gas lava. That sucks so bad. I'm so sorry. I mean, it is what it is. I might as well use my acid tank and just put them all. Discard your card. So, I'm going to beat up that uh minor. I got a boosted attack and I'm just going to beat him up. All right. So, two Do you want to lower two stress or Yes, two stress. Okay. Uh right here. Where?

4:47:13 So, we're on We're on Is that 40? Hold on. That's 35, 36, 37, 38, 39. Yeah, that's on 40. So, one two. There you go. There we go. And that just goes away. Goes away. All right. Ken Ken resigned. Um, yeah. So, I will not do anything cuz take it back. Well, actually, you know what? I could go over here so I don't lose a stress. Also, we do evaluate that, right? So, it's one, two, and then I'd boost it with that and just come in her second section. You you you you can come on back so you don't take extra stress. Uh, I don't want to be in there though cuz I'm going to get shot like a 100 times. How many can you move? Two. You uh don't don't worry. Just don't worry about me. No, just leave me where I am. It's fine. Okay, leave me. Sorry. Uh and I will take this back. I've got nothing to do with it. Okay, so now here's the thing. Nobody's taken any damage from any of that. Nope. Yep. Um so honestly, we don't need to worry about your boards for all of this. Uh cuz you're not You can create a battery. Yeah. Uh no, I can't. I have nowhere to put it. I have reaction stuff because of my battery.

4:48:27 So, replicate uh combining beta matter, none of that matters. The cylindroids activate so nobody nothing happens. They technically move out into the world and that's it. And it doesn't matter. Yeah, but she will still do. And I don't know if it's going to matter. Flip over that bottom card. Yep. Hey, she moves. Uh which it's moot which means it does matter because it means I don't get stressed. That is true. Yeah. Yeah. So right there she will come here technically is there. She actually may land here. Yeah. She moves twice. Two spaces and here that will go away. That will come out. That goes there. These will have come out. Yep. Doesn't matter places. Yes. Um the boxes would all go away. Get rid of them. This would come there. Y and yeah I think that's right by the way. So that would have dropped this will then flip and that is another thing happens right because then that will drop up and that's the end of it. So then we check alphabot distance. No more stress for you because of that. Everyone else is back. Hand size doesn't matter. Turn order uh is the same. So don't need to worry about it. Go ahead. Flip the final events zero. I mean it could have been right. And now there is a stress penalty. There is a stress penalty of

4:49:58 five. Oh my god. So, I'm just going to go right back to where I was when he did it in turn order. Uh, so that's one. Yeah. Two. So, I am uh one Yes. Two, three, four. You take two here first. Oh, yeah. You're right. I think I may survive this. One, two, three. That's worse. Four, five. And then you're at 40. Great. We're all at 40. Okay. Hey, look. We made the journey together. The real stress is the friends you made along the way. All right, final scoring. So, uh, main objective. All right. So, um, count up your deliveries and work your way backwards on the stress track. Go. What do you got? Uh, three points. Three.

4:50:50 Woo. One, two, three. Ken, we won't talk about it. Go. Uh, I've got uh 2 4 6 8 10 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 21. You're at 19. Yeah. Negative. 19. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Uh, all right. Now, secondaries, you may complete them. So, hold on. Let's do Ken first. It's the least we could do. 16. Uh, all right. Show here. Scoot that over just a hair. Sure. There you go. Uh, so you have everything that you need to deliver them both. I do. You said 16. Mhm. So that's at 24. Done. I also have 16. So I have two lava, two gas, two acid in all three of these. Nice. 16 for red. You're at 24.

4:51:39 You're atgative8. Nice, sir. No, I'm yellow. You did him twice. I did. Hold on. I was going to say 16. That is 24. I'm at 22. You were at 22 ygative 212. Apologies. Uh, and oh yeah, sorry. I am um I'm turning in two beta matter. Now, to be clear here, you'll notice he only has one delivery left, so he can only do one of them. Yep. So, I'm turning in two beta matter and I'm turning in uh three silicon uh and this toaster. Six points. Six points. All right. One, two, three, four, five, six. All right. Uh, nobody delivered Alphabot equipped items. So on your board, Ken, there's three. You are red. One, two, three. 11.

4:52:29 Oh, that's it for 11. I think John might win. Is one, two, and nine is to 11. Oh, and how many? Four. Five. Five. One, two, three, four, five. And remaining shields. Two for everyone. Two over here. Two points. Oh, I didn't know. One, two. I have a shield, right? So, but it's zero because it's every two. Uh, and you have zero. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Is that two or one? That's one. It's a Yeah, it's a one. So, five, six, seven, eight. Paul wins at -8, John at -1, and Ken atgative9. But really, really, y'all are the winners. Y'all are the real winners here.

4:53:17 Um, so yeah, uh, Fernando says, "The key turning point in the game was the sudden shift in pace that happened when John was delivering to the scout at a right at that moment, a large group of cylindroids spawned in the vault." So, an Alphabot jumped, catching the entire group mid- strategy and unprepared. It completely disrupted their plans, forced everyone to rethink 14 stress, right? Everyone had took 14 stress. Yeah, it was glorious to see. Now I I my question and Fernando can get back to this while we're talking is if I had been on we're not going to be talking so Oh that's true. If I had been on fire would I have been able to make this delivery. Right. So explain that if you would while we're saying our outs here for Nando. I guess you could get down to zero shields. Yeah. Without getting to 40 stress.

4:54:05 Yeah you could theoretically. I think it's harder to do that unless you're really ignoring shields though. Yeah. Could I have cuz if I had been on fire, which I think I came up one short of being on fire, um would I have still been able to make this final delivery? The secondary, right? Okay. Uh it says, "I think Ken had a solid strategy lined up with Alphabot and the scout, but it fell apart due to the shifting pace of the game." So there you go. That is a pretty epic game of Stressbotics Odyssey. That's that's pretty big. So a huge huge thank you to these guys. Uh they put in a lot of work and a lot of their time to do this. So I really really appreciate it. So is you. Yeah. Yeah. But it's my job. I get it. Uh Fernando, thank you. Uh certainly appreciate. I know it's zero dark 30 there. Uh he says once you're at 40 plus stress and your beta bots on fire, you can no longer perform regular deliveries, but the secondaries apparently are okay. Secondary is secondary is okay. Right. Yeah. So all right, that's a wrap. So we're out of here. Thank you to Two Tomatoes for the review copy as well as sponsoring the stream.
