Live from LA, it's GOOD MORNING SOCIETY with Becca and Ruel!
Transcript
Good morning. Society. Gotcha. We're getting so good at that. Yeah, we are. It's only taken a couple of years, 95 episodes. 95 episodes.
to 100 folks, and we've got surprises in store, so stick around. I I don't know what they are.
Do we have plans? It's a surprise to me, too.
Ruell has plans that will surprise even himself.
Yeah, exactly. I'm Ruell Gavriola. I'm Becca Scott.
And welcome to Good Morning Society, your daily dose, or your weekly dose of board games, beverages, and shenanigans. We're so happy to be here. I'm so happy to be here. I said daily instead of weekly. Wow. Well, Ruell does the show every day. We just only film it on Wednesday.
Yeah. I'm just at home, you know, talking to my camera with it off, and having a good time. Rehearsal. Yeah. Yeah.
Got another great show today, Becca. Tell me more.
Full of surprises and goodies, including our jacked-up matchup for today. It's going to be a good one, a great one.
And we have a special guest.
We do have a special guest. We're going to be playing Meeple Vacation.
Ooh, I'm dressed for it.
Yeah, very bright and vacationy. I will be taking off the jacket when we walk over there. Yeah. It is vacation.
It's vacation time, folks.
break and for my daughter. Yeah. We had to figure out babysitters.
From what break?
break from playing on a tiny playground.
Spring break for the teachers. There you go. Yeah, the teachers need the breaks. Mhm. Yeah, so we got that later on the show. We're also going to announce the winner from last week's contest for Baseball Highlights 2045, the Bases Loaded edition. So, stick around.
Baseball. Yeah, baseball. Baseball. Speaking of baseball, the Los Angeles Dodgers are in first place right now, Becca.
So is Angel City Football Club.
That's right.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Did you Was there another game this past weekend or Yeah, Friday night. Oh.
Bella got to stay up late.
Wow, she was at the game?
Oh, yeah. She went absolutely insane. [clears throat]
Bedtime is important.
Oh, wow. Michelle and I went to not one, not two, but three Dodger games this past week. It was
many.
Do you have season tickets?
We do have season tickets. You got to go then.
Yeah, but from where I live, it's a bit of a drive, so Worth it.
Yeah, totally worth it. I got a picture, so my family lives in Kansas City, and I got a picture from my parents.
Of my mom saying, "Don't let opening day interfere with your afternoon nap." And it was a selfie of the two of them, but my dad is completely asleep.
At the ballpark? Yeah. Oh, I love that. That's great. Perfect trolling, Mom.
That is awesome. Thanks, Mom, for trolling.
You got to love it. Yeah, why don't we take a look at what's new here on the channel, Becca?
Here? Yeah, we've got lots of new stuff. Yeah, in our house. We've got Jimmy Wong playing Riftbound with M.
M should be in the title, too, but I guess Jimmy got those YouTube followers, huh?
We're we're AB testing. There's one with an AB testing, nice. All right, all right, got to try the AB test. So, she can smash his one, and then we know the truth.
Yeah, Jimmy Wong and Em Montgomery and me commentating.
Nice.
But this was really fun because it was the first time that I had assisted in cracking packs and building a sealed deck on the fly for Riftbound, and the new set is absolutely just just the next level up. Like, you know, they had the original Origins, and then this is Spirit Forge, which is the second set. The third set comes out later this year. I know the name, but I'm not telling you. Nice.
Yeah, and it's such a great game that's leveling up along with players as we come along for the ride. That's the beauty of being in on the ground floor of a new TCG. You get to see the evolution of it, and this was a really fun game to watch.
Yeah, so it's live now on the channel, folks. Go check that out. We got a couple of other videos that we'd like to share, including this one here. April Fools. It's an April Fools thing? Tell us all about it, Becca. Oops, all Deadpools Commander Party. So, Magic for April Fools put out a special drop of April Fools Deadpool cards, which are ridiculous. There are some really brilliantly photographed cards on their website. If you follow such things and care about what kind of production studios do product photography.
But these cards are very funny, and then there's one that's been out for a while called the Deadpool trading card, where when the commander enters, it trades its text box, the whole everything the card does with a different creature that's out on the battlefield. So, all four of us are playing the same commander, doing the same thing, which is stealing someone else's text box.
Amazing.
So, when it enters, like you could steal it from a different Deadpool, but that Deadpool doesn't have the same text box anymore, so you get the new one. I don't know. It's crazy. It's so many levels of complication. We have Brian Kibler, of course, Hall of Famer, and host of Commander at Home. We have Crim, And then me and Iffy, and this game was absolute nonsense, and I really loved it. What a table. Right. Yeah, so there's your April Fools gift from us to you, friends. Go check it out now on the channel. Speaking of April Fools gifts, nothing to do with us or this channel, but
I'm both excited about the April Fools drop from Dropout. If you're a fan of D20 on a bus, trailer dropped today. Full episode drops at 4:00 p.m. Pacific, 7:00 p.m. Eastern for I think it's like an hour, hour and a half of the trailer that they made last year is now a full episode, and that's what I will be doing with my April Fools after evening. Right on. Yeah, so check that out on the other channel. One more video I wanted to share that we can't even show here.
show how we can't show it.
Yeah, so this is members-only content. If you're part of our Discord community,
Wow, Ruell. You're not a member? Oh, is this Does this Oh, maybe I'm not. So embarrassing. This is great though.
Discord, Discord, yes, because we have many Patreon-only channels on our Discord, but yeah, you can go to our Patreon, patreon.com/goodtimessociety. You can see our monthly Q&A, which always gets weird. I always say something extremely inappropriate.
Yes. And if you confirm as to what it's like, look at the next suggested video.

We're not doing anything special, but if you love subscribing to channels specifically on YouTube, we figured we'll enable it. Yes. So, thank you for your support as always. Y'all help us continue to do the cool things that we do here on the channel. We do some pretty cool stuff. Yeah, you know what else is cool? Giving away games. Yeah. Let's give away a game, Ray.

Um I hope that your baseball team has many robots, cyborgs, and some naturals. Wow, very impressive. Oh, wow. I mean, the game part I remember. The baseball part, wow. Oh, awesome. Why don't we move on and talk about some games, Becca?
Let's move beyond. Beyond the baseball giveaway. Beyond the baseball, beyond the horizons of this planet. Yes, and we will be reaching into our
[gasps]
grab bag of games. This is where we highlight some of the Yeah, that's such a great one.
Wow. We highlight some of the games that are available right now or coming real soon. Or not right now.
Or not right now. We just talk about games. Yeah. This one we're excited about because Cole Wehrle started his own company called Leder Games, Studios, and the first game that they're going to be crowdfunding, which they've started Oh, there's Cole. Is the new Arcs expansion.
I'm sure all of the board game heads in the chat know, but yeah, for formerly of Leder Games, it was an amicable split. There's an article written about it, and some games went to Leder Games, and Arcs is the first funding that they're looking for, rather the Arcs expansion. Yeah, and we know that they have such a rabid fan base, and it's already um Yeah. Pretty good Jake Michaels impression you just did there. Great Jake Michaels impression. He's the biggest Wehrle fan that I know. Yeah, they are going to do a special Woodland War Machine went off episode talking about this, of course. Oh, yeah. Nice. I love the shirt. I mean, the the sweater that Cole's got. I want one.
give us your sweater.
We want that sweater, Cole. Give it to us. So, this is out now on Kickstarter, as you can see. They're crushing the goal, of course.
Almost a million dollars already for an expansion. It's quite impressive. Yeah. And they asked for 50K? It's something like that. Some Yeah, 50K.
that. They crushed it.
what they wanted. going to get a million dollars.
Uh this is so they're adding a fifth player option and also modular expansion. So go check it out on the Kickstarter page for all the goodies they can get now from Barrier Giant Studios. Ooh yeah.
Yeah. All right. Looking beautiful. Oh yeah. How do Oh, I know how we're going to transition this next one. Hey Becca. Hey Ruell. I really wanted this game but it's no longer available but they're coming out with a new version of it. Glad you asked, Ruell.
I'm so bad. I was so terrible but this is the Lord of the Rings: The King's Gambit.
know what you were going for.
I I didn't either. You know me. I just make stuff up as we go. Call it improv, right? Yeah.
You heard of it?
Sorry. I said I heard nobody.
No butts on the show.
No butts. This is going to crowdfunding maybe this year.
eat your heart out. It's time for the King's Gambit. Yes. There it is. The King's Gambit is a redo of a game that's been on my holy grail list forever. The Queen's Gambit Star Wars. So that was a Star Wars game based on the prequels and it was this multi front game where you played like four different battles at once. It's like 4D chess.
Ooh. Okay.
it's you know long been gone because you know Lucas Film blah blah blah. Restoration got the rights to it and they're redoing it in a Middle Earth theme. So True to the namesake of their Man, I love Restoration.
I do too. They bring back these great games. Um So I always wanted Queen's Gambit but I don't want to pay $500 on eBay. So this seems like a more affordable option for me and my fellow Queen's Gambit grail fans and this will be
how does the how does chess factor in? Well, it's like I don't know if it's really chess. It looks like four different chess boards and they're like some on different levels. So you have like one battle between Darth Maul and the Jedi's on one. You have the spaceships and everything on the other and there's like four different things going on at once.
Wow. So yeah, you're trying to just battle on all the fronts and hopefully you'll come out ahead. Wow. The irony is Star Trek: The Next Generation did have 4D chess. That's right.
Data is very good at it.
where that comes from? I think so.
Oh man, I totally forgot. Yeah. They play in 10 forward. Now I don't know what to tell you.
Yeah. So yeah, that's going on crowdfunding real soon, folks. So check it out from Restoration Games: The Lord of the Rings The King's Gambit. I'm so happy for you.
I am so happy, too. You know what's funny? I don't like the prequels at all. I'm not a Star Wars prequels. Yeah.
Wow.
But I want that game. Even if they do, they lie about it.
No. Wait. Right.
I'm an unapologetic Star Wars Episode 1 lover. Pod racing is the best thing they ever did.
No. Okay, because there's cars going fast.
going around.
There's jet engines strapped to like a guy.
Is that
Is Episode 1 the one with Jar Jar Binks? I'm talking about pod racing, Becca, and it's like 20 years
to talk about. I'm just saying I don't even know what that is. What kind of syllables was that? Okay. Well, you know I love that you love the prequels.
Jar Jar Binks. I heard it here first.
Yeah, that's That's what I heard. Ruell really hates Star Wars.
There it is. No, I'm not talking about Jar Jar. We don't have to talk about that. We don't have to talk about Jar Jar. Why don't we talk about
talk about Jar Jar.
I actually watched Encanto last night, so
Oh, nice. Yeah. Right on. Um well, Encanto, how do we go over to this next game? Uh it's all about I got nothing. I love I just put Becca on the spot.
out on the internet that you love the early Star Wars movies, you reap what you sow when it comes time to harvest.
Yay. Great. Well done.
There's our transition, folks. To harvest.
Promoted. Now we're trading. You get this chair. LTD.
Harvest 54 is a cooperative card laying game that fits in a standard poker size of tuck box. And I you know y'all know I love these type of games that use a standard deck of cards. It's a one to five player game. So even if you're not cooperative player, you can still play solo.
What do you mean if I'm not a cooperative player? What do you mean by that?
just throwing it out there, Becca. If someone's not a cooperative
I'm I'm a cooperative person but it's not my preferred game style. If your preferred game style is not cooperative, you can still play solo, friends.
This is This just came out. It just flew under my radar for a while and it somehow popped back up. I love that this publisher and designer has done it all, done the artwork, done the gameplay and you can go order it now from Meremoth Morph Games. Meremoth
Meremoth
is this animal? Wait, go go back up. Oh, that That animal right there.
dipping into Ruell's shot. That's really good. What is What is this? Wait, what is that?
Uh it's a rooster fox. Oh, it's a Meremoth. Yeah.
a real animal? Yeah. No, now it is.
Well, it is now out. So go check that out, folks. Support your friendly small publishers that do all the things themselves. We have And Atma is a very fun role playing game in a card box that we played with. They have a digital platform as well. Shout out to Meremoth.
I did not know that. Right on. Moving right along. Um This is something that I've sort of become obsessed with during the pandemic, speed puzzling.
that together.
that together. That's nice.
You just need a little inspiration.
Yeah, we're just moving along right here. This is the just happened last weekend the a national jigsaw speed puzzling championships.
Wow. As you can see here, the contestants, this is the individual competition. Individuals take the you know take a 500 piece puzzle that no one's ever seen before and they try to complete it. The winner
Do you think there's ever like a heist to get the puzzles early?
There's got to be some kind of Yeah.
Stealing the essay answers.
a short film.
Um the winner this year was Alice Rowe who apparently after a little quick little quick little research, she's like the champ of all champs. She won the individual. She did a 500 piece puzzle in 37 minutes. She won the pairs competition with a teammate and then she placed third in the team competition with three other teammates. Don't ever let someone tell you you can't turn your hobbies into a professional career. Right? Oh, I Wow.
It's amazing.
What an achiever.
Yeah.
Is that Karen Puzzles?
It is Karen Puzzles. Yes. Who said that? Was that the was the one in chat or Uh Kima. Kima, yeah.
I totally got obsessed with Karen Puzzles during the pandemic cuz she does the best videos about speed puzzling. She does all the competitions and she's so
Wow. Stop the timer. Stop the timer. I'm in a trance.
She's amazing. I wish I were allowed to smoke pot right now so I can go
find these things. Uh don't worry, baby. You're fine. Oh, you meant for the baby. I thought you meant because you're you know at work. No, that wouldn't stop me.
I'M JUST CLARIFYING. OH. UH YEAH, I just want to watch this from the beginning. I mean, what are we [clears throat] doing?
It's amazing. So there's
Turn everything else off, everybody.
Right. And watch speed puzzling. Sweet name. Louis Dirkoble Hellsaw. Ooh, that is a great name. Powerful. I want a puzzle [clears throat] name. Um I think that's just his real name.
Oh, it's all
Okay. I just like it.
to have a good anagram of your name to be a world class puzzler?
Oh, maybe you do. That'd be great. Uh so yeah, I sort of I never speed puzzled but Michelle signed us up for a competition next month. Wait, ARE YOU ARE YOU PRACTICING? YOU'RE going to be put to shame, Ruell.
Oh yeah, I'm going to be totally crushed. You're going to bring shame on this channel.
Well, it's going to be even worse than that. We Michelle signed us up for a team thing. So our teammates, they're already practicing. So I just I just ordered a bunch of puzzles and Michelle and I are going to start I think this weekend and Okay, great. As long as you get some reps in.
Yeah.
Coming in cold. Yeah. Don't want to do that. Do you see Karen Puzzles up here? Yeah. That's not Karen Puzzles.
That So this looks tough cuz it's a round puzzle. I I'm used to like the rectangle ones and
Yeah, how do you I can find the four corner pieces, no problem. But after that, you're on your own.
I can do the frame. That's pretty much it.
member of your team just to find the four corners.
You need the the Simone Yetch puzzle that's all edges. She designed a puzzle that's all edges. You can get it at Yetch Studio. Yeah. It's like a river that winds so there's no yeah. That's That's a free promo for Simone Yetch. Filmed something in our studio once.
Uh friends, you can find all the results at USA Jigsaw Puzzle. They are the national association for speed puzzling which I just learned about this weekend. Yeah. And by the way, your puzzle name is Ruell Puzzriola. Puzzriola, thank you. That sounds great. Hey, one more thing I want to talk about. It's happening next weekend. It's the Tabletop Weekend for Extra Life. So
Oh, nice. Yeah, Extra Life. They raise money for the Children's Miracle Network. So we're getting help to the kids and families who need it and they celebrate Tabletop Weekend once a year. This year is April 10th through 12th. So you can find different ways to participate going to Extra Life.org Tabletop Weekend. You can host your own board game night. You could have you know your store do the you know their local Friday night magic but you know donate some of the proceeds. Talk to folks out there, friends, and it's a worthy cause. We actually did some stuff with Tabletop Life Network a couple of years ago. Good Time Society and TLN partnered for this and we raised over the years TLN just shut down. We raised over like $15,000 I think over the years. Yeah. And it's a great cause. You know, do it for the kids, folks. Um and register for Extra Life now and uh go make an impact in your local communities. Yeah, very cool. Extra Life is an amazing organization. We love Extra Life.
Uh tapped into the nerd community. They know what's up. They sponsor D&D Live back when that was happening.
Yep. Uh they're they're great organizations. So again, uh extralife.org/tabletopweekend. All right. So that's it for the grab bag games. Thanks again, folks, for hanging out with us. We're We're not done yet. What?
The work is over, Becca. Okay.
it's time to go to vacation.
done working position.
Yeah.
Well, let's Why don't we go on vacation? Have some fun.
Yeah, that sounds good. I would love to sit in a lazy river right now.
would be really nice. So that means it's time for OUR JACKED UP MATCH UP. WOO! WOO! LET'S DO THIS. LET'S WALK OVER THERE. SURPRISE. SURPRISE. HELLO. HELLO. What you doing? We got Ru in the house, folks. Ru, how are you?
Good. I'm uh taking off my jacket cuz it is time
mode. The costume changes. Vacation mode. The jacket comes off. This is Meeple Vacation and and this, more importantly, is Dina DeBlasio.
Hello. Hello. Hello.
The designer. Yeah. Oh, wow. Okay. Well, maybe you could like undo a button or you know, and a wrist. I don't want to be too sexy FOR MY SHIRT. CUZ WE'RE ON VACATION. YOU SEE PALM TREES?
ABSOLUTELY. I'm ready to party. I'm ready to go on vacation. Yeah. Uh so tell us a little bit about So yeah, the premise of this game is have you ever wondered what meeples do when they're not being used in their ordinary worker placement games?
All the time. Exactly.
Are they going to kill me in my sleep?
Exactly. Well, the good news is they don't. They want to go on vacation. Meeple Vacation. But they can't help themselves. They must score fun points. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's fun points. So that's the game. That's me on vacation, too. I get it.
Uh in this game, you basically uh uh you're a family of meeples and you're going to be going on to a water park vacation. Yes. And so we all have our little family boards over here.
Well, I am the Rawlinsons.
Yes. And who are you?
the Floppins. And I am the Romanos.
Romanos. And so we are going to go on a 3-day water park vacation. All right.
And it's pretty simple. They will be a a time that we get to um roll our meeples down the the water slide here. Uh and they will come rolling down and they'll land in certain positions like uh standing. Yeah, there we go.
off a little bit. A headstand, etc. And then you return them to your waiting board. I always go down the water slide on headstands. Headstand every time. I've been there a few times. Can you tell? No, not No, not at all. That's funny. Uh and so then once uh once they're returned to your waiting board, we'll go to the fun in the sun phase. So then you'll activate one section of your waiting board. You'll take all the meeples from that section and then you'll go all out in Love it. All right. water park. And it's pretty simple. We'll play a 3-day uh vacation, as you can see. And each day is even The fact is more families want to come More of your family wants to come and visit. So on day two and day three, uh you'll get additional uh meeples that join you on your vacation.
Sally's like, "You guys forgot to tell me!"
BUT I GOT MY SUN HAT AND I'M HERE. SHE CAN JOIN US.
Uh so we'll just kind of play the game and I'll teach the rules as we play.
Perfect. All right.
to do a shoutout to Plaid Hat Games. Thank you for putting this on and uh Do we need any disclosure?
Disclosures, uh friends, I am part of the ownership group of a Plaid Hat Games and this is being sponsored by Plaid Hat Games this play through. So you can check out the campaign live right now on Kickstarter. It just launched this morning, probably like an hour ago or something like that.
Oh my gosh. Uh yeah, so give it a repost even if you uh don't don't have the dollar to back. I'm honestly even a dollar is helpful because that's That's another backer right there.
50 cents. Cuz you know, I said I said dollar, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah. Cool. So yeah, let's go on vacation. Yeah, so let's go on vacation. So uh I'll be the starting player.
Nice flamingo. Yeah, so what you do is you you grab all of your meeples. I'll do this first. And then we just kind of roll them down. Hey! So land in certain positions. So you get to roll them down twice down the um the cannonball bounce. But I can return the ones that I want in the positions that they landed. So I'll take the headstand there. I'll take my uh planker over there. I've got another headstand, so I'm going to put him on my board there. Then I get to reroll these.
Four floppers.
Again. So let's go, boss. Show me something good. Hey! So two more headstands. I'll take these. Wow, all right. This is nice things today. So these guys come back and then these go into my flop positions. So the cool thing about the flop positions is it's a friendly ties game. So as we do this, at the end of the opening ceremonies, we will a lifeguard will come to join us. So So it's not bad to get flop meeples. Cool. Cool lifeguard.
All right. Ru, are you the next to put them down the cannonball bounce?
You know, I do want to show y'all something. They have little
They're really cute. They're so cute. Uh yeah, none are nude.
They have front and back.
Nice. And this is a prototype, by the way. So of course the Kickstarter's launching today. There'll be more fancy things. All right. I got to see the I'm so One thing I forgot to do, I apologize. As part of day one, we're supposed to start with a photo card and arcade card. So everybody grab one of those.
And don't worry, it's in the cheat sheet. This is matters most to me about games. Is there iconography to tell me so I never have to read the rules? Exactly. Perfect. Yeah. So we got one of those and one of those.
the uh the arcade
nudist meeples? Is that
Is that on there yet? We're not going to confirm that. Well, meeples are already nude, so
we put in clothes on.
You're actually putting more clothes on for them to swim, I hear. Okay, got it.
So that's already accomplished.
Um but yeah, so you keep your arcade cards face up. Okay. All face up. So everybody is aware of what you do. We have a summary. We got the same. I got a crocodile puppet.
Yeah. Which is really cute.
Yeah. So um if you have a card that has a green point on it, you can score that immediately.
I have one green point.
So you have one point.
playing purple. All right, I don't have any yet. Uh maybe we got We got the race condition one. All right, we're going to race. All right, here we go, meeples. Okay.
Nice. Two headstands. Oh, you got a stander. And uh planker. Okay. And oh, stander right there. And then we're going to reroll the floppers. Go for it, even though I am the Floppins. I just love This is like it's really scratching that Pass the Pigs like
Yes. Totally. And there's actually a game to play. Okay, I've done that.
All right, HERE WE GO. CANNONBALL! CANNONBALL! Oh my gosh, a planker.
Nice. Uh another planker. And a headstand. All righty.
Four flops. Hey! Come on. Let's go. Oh. Yeah. Okay, hard Wait, hold on. Let me separate. One's headstand Mhm. and one's plank. Nice. And Uh and two flops. We all have two floppers. All right. We all have two floppers. Friendly ties. We all get a lifeguard. So the lifeguard is a wild meeple. You can put it in any position you want. So I'm going to grab my guy. Fun fact, every time I go to the water park, the lifeguard follows me around.
I wonder why. So many reasons. So you can put it in any uh position now. So you can choose your uh position. I'm just reading my secret photo card. Close your eyes, everybody. This is a secret card that only I get. Uh I can get points if I achieve this condition. So you will get the points regardless if you play the card or not. That's nice. Yep. And so you'll always keep these cards. The card range points are like from two to five. The lower point cards have a special power that you can invoke during your game. All right. Okay, sweet.
All right. So now that we have uh let's figure out So we did the lifeguards. The next thing is to figure out the plunge bump.
Oh yeah, you have to choose a place. Okay, great. It seems like standing is the hardest to achieve, so it must be best.
Yeah. It is uh the hardest to achieve. But you'll get there.
here in the plunge?
Exactly. Yeah, you get the most points. Uh so we have two, four, six meeples as flopped. So we cannot the flop meeples and then we just kind of move this uh little thing. And so Magnets. How do they work?
Yeah, magnets. So uh that will happen when you get bumped off the plunge. You can try to impress your audience by landing in one of the non-flop positions and score those points. So uh the interesting thing about the plunge is uh people, the meeples, they actually just want to stand there all day. They don't want to jump into the water, which is kind of weird. Okay. Um so I will I'll go first.
She's on top of the diving board.
I don't think I can do this. She must love it up there because she's not jumping. She's just standing. So I'm going to activate my uh flop meeples. I'm going to take my flop meeples and I'm going to go to the cannonball bounce. So I'll go to the cannonball bounce because I can potentially improve them and they'll come back to my board. If they don't improve, they will score points. Regardless if they improve or not, they will score points. And then they have to make a decision if they go to one of the other two rides. Is there any way Nice. to deter them from not doing that every time? Well, it helps to improve. It does There is no deterrent. Yeah. okay, because there's 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 locations.
Yes. We can go to.
Yes. So, I improved and I got a point, so I'm going to give myself a point here. Because I landed on the one.
you push me into 100 points? I win.
Take your token. Uh so, then this guy's going to come back in that position and I got another headstand. All right. And it's your turn.
Okay, so I'm going to do the same thing. I've got my floppers in the cannonball bounce. And okay, one flopped and then one with a headstand.
Headstand.
Now, you only get to go down once in this.
so now you're going to make a decision. Do you want to go to the lazy river? And in the lazy river at the end of the day, the most people will get a a photo card. Or you can go to the changing room, which means uh you can your meeple becomes wild. You can put it in any position in the next round.
In the next round, but it'll stay here between rounds. Okay. Now, if he wanted to, if he had actually landed in the middle, could he have just taken those points and stayed there?
You get the points regardless. Oh, very cool.
regardless if you improve or not, uh you'll get to um you'll get to keep those points. Great. All right. Well, I'm going to follow what cool people do and we're going down the water slide. Oh. Hey. Two headstands. Not mad at it. All right. No no kidding. Now, yeah, and that was zero points. Do you have to land specifically in one of these to get this?
Yes. Yeah, that's where you do the big bounce in the big cannonball. The fans love it.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm actually going to activate my uh side meeples and I'm going to put one here. Okay. So, potentially I could get seven points and then I'm going to go and take one of these cards here. Uh actually, I'm going to go with the shark plushy. Shark plushy. Nice.
And this is just set collection over here. Do we flip a new card after one's taken?
Yes, you do. Okay. You put a new card out. Another shark plushy. Nice. Okay, so it's friendly ties, so that you know, at the end of the game it whoever if we have the most tied
here. There we go. There we go. Great.
Okay. Cool. Yep. Uh so, I've got my um headstand. So, you're going to activate that section.
The whole category. So, you have to place four meeples. I like [snorts] that cuz it goes a little faster that way. I'll do the I'll do the plank since there's only one. Uh the plank I can go over here uh to grab a pirate hat or a rain You know, I want the rainbow meepsicle. Nice. I'm always going to pick food, so uh
rainbow uh meepsicle is going to get me points to depending on how many I collect, correct? But you also get instant points.
Oh yeah, instant points. That's right, two points. All right, so I'll give you your two points. You are in the lead. That does look like a delicious um Well, you know, it's sort of weird though. It's yeah, it's got these really cool colors, so I mean it's uh rainbow flavored, I guess.
Yes, exactly. Okay, uh refill. Another shark plushy. Oh, perfect.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I like that. Yeah. Uh I think I'm going to go with Everybody's got so many headstanders. Mhm. So, this is maybe the most points for headstand right now, the plunge, but you only score if you're the last one on it.
Yes, at the end of the Otherwise, you get knocked off and go into the lazy river.
But you have If you If you impress your audience, if you get bumped, you can get points. Okay. Let's see. And this log flume.
log flume you either need a flopped or a standing position and then it will move down and then you'll score points uh depending how far you go down the log flume.
Got it. So, if I had four flopped, I could put them all down here and one of them would get a times three points if they push the others.
Yeah, the requirement is just one of that either the flopped or a standing position and then this will move forward. Right.
Yeah. But uh if I want to push that one forward more, I got to put in somebody else Yeah, but there's different positions as as the most It's not always the same position. Oh, I see.
Interesting. But you know what? Uh okay. Oh gosh. [snorts] We're going to um do all of my my plankers. All of them? And so, do you know? Boom. All right.
plunged.
All right, so I'm going to take my guy. Please. Come on, roll mana. Oh, that's okay. So, I'm going to actually go to the lazy river. Okay. Okay. Uh and then I guess I could push myself, couldn't I? Uh you can in subsequent rounds, yep. Okay. All right. Um I want to go to the arcade and grab up this pirate hat. Nice. Nice. Now, does that mean there's two spots available?
There's two spots available. Okay. However, in this What I What I neglected to mention is that we have and I'll show it at the end of the game. Each Each board is double-sided and has different rides or different variations of a game. Cool.
Yeah, so you can flip and flop and customize your game however you want. All right, too. Okay. All right, one point and I'm going to go up to four because of my pirate hat. Two in-game points if I have a crocodile puppet and a shark plushy. Yeah, I got a shark plushy. So, the crocodile puppet is going to score per pair. Yep. And the pirate hat scores if I have crocodile puppets and shark plushies. So, for each set Oh yeah, okay. Okay. Okay.
Okay, seems good. Nice. Uh you got one more uh planker.
Oh my gosh, I've got one more planker. Want to grab that shark plushy?
plushy seems good for me. Nice. There's your shark plushy. Thank you.
And we are tied in the submarine race. Oh, that's good. Oh, and it's Dino's turn. All right, so I'm going to actually activate my headstands. Okay. Mhm. You know what? No. I'm going to activate my standing.
Standing, yep. So, I'm going to take this and [snorts] move it along. Oh.
That's my turn.
Okay, so this next one requires two standing meeples.
Yes. Oh, interesting. But you We don't have any.
score four points at the end of the round just for that ride. And this one's going to score you two points.
Yes. Plus currently two times one.
one, which is two points. So, Oh, that's I was going to
I didn't say it, but I was going to. So, if I put two standing meeples there, Yep. So, you have now activated this movement, which gets bumped forward. Thank you for that. I appreciate that. Oh no. What's that? Test log. Test log. What is that? That's just junk. No. So, you know how you go on like different park rides and they have to send like a Oh, we got to do a test run. So, it just pushes everybody up. Thank you for that. Now, that's two points. Actually, that is great.
But that got four points for a while cuz he has four on his log with a times two bonus and you have two on your log with a times three bonus.
Yeah, so that's six points just for that guy, which is pretty good. And those are just going to be scored at the end of the day. But if I But if you finish too soon, then you don't score the end of round points.
Exactly. If you bump me, I actually have to go to the lazy river. That's hilarious.
Uh but I've already used all my yellow meeple. I would have to use I would have had to
by the way, it's competi- it's collaborative, so it's we can all join on the ride. Oh, I can just stack them here and it won't start moving till it's full.
Yes, that's exactly how it works.
Okay, but still nobody's got plankers left. Mhm. Bummer. Oh, those are both plankers. Oh no, one's a planker, one is a headstand. A flopped or a plank.
Yes. Okay, I've got a stander. Mhm. And neither of you do. So, I can go here.
Hey, nice.
And there we go.
ONCE OR TWICE. THAT'S it for me. All right. So, I'm going to activate all of my headstands. So, I'm going to go here with one of them. Okay. Um hm, I'm going to go here.
I want to know we're not supposed to, but
as well. I'm going to put one of my guys there. Okay. And I'm actually going to bump him forward. Oh. So, potentially I could get seven points. Seven points? Yeah, yeah. Four. Oh. Four for being on a in a headstand position plus the three for this guy in the kiddie pool.
Exactly. And then I'm going to go grab a meepsicle. Okay. Do you want to go to a water park? Yeah, totally. And I'm going to There's actually two points, so I'm going to collect that now. One, two.
Another meepsicle comes out.
Oh, nice. Okay, and then for my last guy, I think I'm just going to You know what? I'm going to go to the um Let's see. I'm going to grab this meepsicle. Another meepsicle. Cool. Perfect.
Here it comes out. So, you get another two points.
Oh, there's a submarine race. One, two. There we go. Now we can see these water park rides. There you go. Oh, nice. Got that close-up cam. Okay. Uh I'm going to I've got all my headstand meeples. So, is this Let me see. You took a headstand here, so that's out. This is a planker. So, I can still use a headstander. Oh, there's only two positions Oh, two spots. Yeah, so two spots taken. I was gaming there a little bit, was I? Yeah, yeah, you were. You know, I see how you roll. Okay. Rainbow meepsicle. And let's see, that's a pirate hat.
Love a pirate hat.
Yeah, but I want to get it on the shark plushy again. Yeah, get on the game.
Definitely got to go cuz they're friendly ties, so I'm happy to tie you all and get some points. I need to check my photo card.
Oh yeah, yeah. Arcade is full. Ooh, it is full. Arcade's full, so I've got two more there. Is there a headstand? No, it's uh yeah.
There's a headstand, a flopper. But you we can have a Will they stay from round to round? Or no, we pick them back up.
We will We will shuffle them up again. Oh, okay, so I don't want to go there. Yeah, you could bump me down on the On the kids cove, right? Okay. Now, I'm not getting those points, which is fine. So, you'll be getting these, correct? It's Can there be multiple in this kids cove? Okay. And friendly ties as well. Okay, so I can bump myself again, right?
Yeah. All right. And I'll get some points. Okay. Cool. Done. My go, and then the round is over, so it's time for the Rollinsons to get up [clears throat] in here.
Okay. Uh I'm going to start with what I've been waiting for, taking this six-pointer.
That's very nice. Well, she's got the entire plunge. Oh my gosh. Please improve. Yeah. Hey. And then So, I get six points just for doing that. 1 2 3 4 5 6.
And do you get an extra one for being
not with this. Uh this was a bump. Only with uh the cannibal bath. Got it. Okay. So, I think I'm going to go to here since I already have one person there. Okay. And you have the most. Yeah. And the lady in the changing room. You're going to the changing room right now. All right.
Are you going to get to replace these at the end of the round? So, when they come back to me, I get to place them in any position in the next round. I see. Okay, great. Yeah, they will come back to me. Fossil flumes is is dead to me. You could actually Yeah, if you go to the uh kids cove, I'm not telling you how to play, but
Uh yeah, I think going all in on the kids cove is probably what's left cuz lazy river, that's that's a consolation prize. If I put two down there, I'll just get a a photo card?
Yes. The most meeples there. Uh yeah, I'd have to put two down there, so that's no fun. All right, I'm just going to Oop. Hey, kick me down.
in here. Enjoy. Got demoted down to three points.
But it's friendly ties, so we are looking good there. Oh, okay.
Yeah. Uh the arcade is completely full up. There's a benefit to going last for the plunge, but not for other stuff. Uh okay, then we're going to go down the slide. Oh yeah, sorry I didn't go around the loop-de-loop last time. I was actually going to call you out. There we go. Loop-de-loop. Done.
All right. So, that's round one. And so, now we move into what we call the evening clean or um Closing ceremonies. The park closing ceremonies. Thank you. You know my game better than me.
I was The family Rollinsons. Oh nice. That's awesome. Well done. And so, the way we we we score is from left to right, and so we look at our uh people here.
Unfortunately.
guy gets six. So, I give myself six points. 1 2 3 4 5 6. And since he's a lifeguard, he'll go back to the side of the board.
Oh. And you actually
points.
Uh you actually score 4 * 2, so eight points.
Then we get rid of the lifeguard.

Hey, with one? With one, I'll take it any day of the week. Oh, lovely. And then he comes back to me.
And then the arcades just come back to you right now.
Okay.
to secretly show your photo card, and we won't It's fine. Put it right there. Yeah, you guys can see, so Uh this one
No, I wouldn't dare. It will change the entire game.
Can you see it? Yeah, I'm not looking. Well,
this one doesn't have any power, but it has that. Five points. Oh, nice. So, that's pretty good.
Okay, done the arcade.
and then down to the bottom there. So, Rebecca gets four points.
Four. All right, four more points.
And then these Flop, and then we each get six. Yeah, so the friendly ties, so we can either take uh it's the most for three points, so it's either three points each or you can take a photo card. Oh, okay.
Yeah. Three points or a photo card. You just had one that had five on it. I have one that has two, but there's a power, so I'm going to take a photo card.
Okay.
Yeah. And did you give yourself your four points for that?
points for Rebecca. Oh no, not the same. Uh 29. 29. And then for my meeples, I'm also going to take a photo card cuz I want
Ray on camera, everybody.
Oh wait, I got some dog hair.
I think I'm going to take a photo card. All right. Sweet.
return meeples to folks. And I'll show you this one. Oh, if you want to show your one.
Ray, it's off. Did I do something? Did I do something terrible or you did that? Okay. I did that cuz it got a bump, but now it's going to be fixed. It's going to be perfect.
I will not touch anything. Ready? It should be on. THERE YOU GO. OH, YOU CAN TURN ONE OF YOUR FLOP meeples to any position.
Okay. All right. Uh so, um the the changing room meeples, so you take it, you'll put it in your center of your board. They don't get rolled. They're just Uh they're going to be wild next round.
All right. And now we move the date token, the day tracker over. Okay.
Everybody gets an additional meeple. It's Aunt Sally. And Sally is here.
Okay. Everyone's playing.
uh we pass
Hey, Aunt Sally
Welcome. We shouldn't have posted. Oh, you found us.
Okay. Uh so, I got all my meeples. So, day two. This is it. Let's go, meeps. Okay, a lot of floppers. I've got a headstand, a headstand, and we're re-rolling the floppers. Oops. Ooh, you reshuffle the log flume every time? Okay. Okay. A planker. And floppers. Four floppers. Uh Dino, when do I decide what to do with my wild meeple? Is that After uh at the um so, after the opening ceremonies, after we count up um before we count up your uh the flop meeples,
Yeah. we decide what we want to do with Got it. Thank you. Maybe put your You can re-roll that guy. I like it. I know I was going to say standy. Uh that's okay. We got a headstand, a plank, plank, plank, Wow. and four flops. No flop No floppies No floppies. I should have said I should have said what I wanted, not what I didn't want.
All right, three planks.
Nice. That's not bad. Remember, um we get that wonderful lifeguard to help us. By the way, I should point out that Becca has 29 points. Uh I see that.
Don't even worry about it. I can still win the games. All right. Romanos. Romanos.
Please. Hey. So many flops. Wow. Got to standy. We'll bring that guy here. It's you looking at the positive. Yeah. Oh, four flops. Uh by the way, this is known as the splash zone, so anytime a meeple is crossing the splash zone, if it gets bumped, the scoring meeple Uh-huh. actually gets pushed forward to the safe zone. No way. Really? I love that. So, that happens across the board here.
great. Oh wait, my guy is way over there out of the splash zone. I'm going to take these wonderful floppers.
I didn't see that rule before. Come on. Oh, not great, but that's okay.
five flops. But I think I might be able to improve them. I'm guaranteed the lifeguard. Oh. Yeah, true. True. Okay. I'll beat you on that race.
Having an additional meeple is quite good.
Yes.
All right. So, now um we we can decide what we want to do with our meeple that was Oh, I actually rolled my guy. Okay, I'm going to do my stand-in. I'm going to make mine standing as well. Okay.
I don't have choices like that. All right.
So, then we count out our flops, so I have four. I also have four. Oh, you do? Yeah. So, then we did tie. Oh yeah. Friendly lifeguard play? Yep, one for you. Thank you.
One for me. And you have three. So, four eight nine 10 11. So, then we're going to change the bump, and it's up to So, 10 to 11. Okay. Uh if we get bumped, we could potentially get 10 points. Which is more than that. Yeah. Okay, yeah. Juicy. All right. I'm going to place my I'm going to do my standings. We're going right there. Nice. And then what is on the flume right now?
So, we have a a a flop, a headstand, and a planker. Okay. Cool. Is there a time restriction on when I can use uh a photo card? Uh not really. You can use it at any point. So, if you roll it down and says, "Hey, you can do whatever." Or if there is a meeple on the park, there's another card that's like you can return any meeple.
Okay. I'm going to go here, get a submarine race. Nice. Ooh, two [clears throat] out of three. Yeah, do I score the ship? Uh no, so that's the race. Oh, that's the race.
Yeah. So, you you're almost there. Yeah. Okay, that's my turn. Okay. For the standies. I don't want to make decisions like this.
All right, you each have one uh planker, and I have four. Oh. Okay. Okay. Now, if we're sharing space on here, how do we split those points? It's three per seat. Per seat. Oh, so you can have more. Okay.
So this will be three points.
Wait a minute. Oh, okay, I see. The other one did show that. Okay. Interesting. So, I can only place one.
I'll join you on the right. Yeah, I'll join, too. I actually don't need company.
I prefer I'd love to do a solo ride. Okay, uh and I do have to make a decision. All right. Yeah, you can do your flops. You can do any one of those. Yes, yeah. We're we're going to go
[sighs]
Plankers. Plankers. Plankers. Okay.

All right. Um my plankers, we're going to plank on the log flume.
Nice. We've got a plank here in the plunge.
Yeah, okay.
Surely get bumped. Uh and I've got Uh what's up in the arcade? The pirate hat again. Mhm. Couple of meep popsicles.
can't get in on that submarine race yet. Mhm. Meeple popsicles, y'all are so far ahead. But I will get another Meeple popsicles, it's we're not that far ahead. I think that a pirate hat's looking good.
Okay. All right, heads. So that gives you three points immediately. All righty. I'm at 29. 1 2 3 32. And then my final planker is going to the kids cove. Nice.
Another four points. All right, I'm going to activate my flops. Wait, hold on. Hold on. Let me do a little math here. The pirate hat I already have the crocodile puppet and the shark plushy and and five is more than four.
Oh, nice.
Actually, I want that pirate hat. Okay, pirate hat. Oh, I got three now. And another crocodile puppet.
Three points. 1 2 3 for 35.

Wow. I'm going to activate my um flops. So I'm going to put one here. I'm going to join you, Becca. I'm going to go one here. And um I'm going [clears throat] to try to improve on these two. Let's see what happens. Oh, they don't all have to go yet. Oh, no improvements, but I'm going to go one down.
Roll manos. What can you do? I got I'm going to place my headstands folks out here. First, I want the submarine race, so I got my three. So that is six points now. Six points, yep. Uh I was on 10, I believe. That's 16, thank you. Then my other headstand, I think I can join them.
Yeah, you want to ride? All right, let's go. Tesla.
Tesla. That's pretty good for all of us, actually. So we're going to go around here and the Tesla goes out.
good for all of us if we all get equal points. Yeah. Oh, yeah, that's really good for you. There's two standees here. Oh. Bummer.
Yeah, I'm down on my flops. I mean, everybody getting the same points is the same as no one getting any points.
I I happen to know. I'm okay with that. I don't want to get left behind cuz I'm way down here. Okay. Oh, nice. I set car Oh, let me refill the market here. We've got a treasure [clears throat] chest. Uh one point for each different price type, not including the chest itself. And then this I can use. All right, Becca. Me? Wait, you already went? I just placed my two. I placed one on the log and then one here to get my third submarine race.
Yeah, he's he's won the race.
It's I've done this. I've done this to us. Okay.
You've still got a red one. I'm going to Activate. Activate my flop meeple starting with the cannonball bounce. STANDING STANDING STANDING. YOU get two points, though. Just from where it landed? Yes, so in the circles, those are in the circles. Oh, is that one touching the circle? Nope, you're good. 1 2 up to 37. Okay.
you make a dis Oh. And then um You want to show the card?
After you roll meeples for any reason, you may reroll any that flopped. Oh.
Oh. Oh, we don't have a docu cam on yet. There we go. Oops, I forgot to buckle.
The docu cam is becoming the elbow cam, so it's getting smaller.
Sorry. I'll get smaller elbows.
So you can reroll all of your flops. That's a cool one. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
right, she could improve. All right. Meeples.
Water slide. Hey.
Two standees and one flop. Oh, and one point. Yeah.
to 38. Oh, you got two points. He's also touching. Another point up to 39. Oh my gosh.
All right. So
are turned to your board. Oh, for for later.
Yeah. Okay.
And then you have to make a decision with that guy. All right. So changing room makes it wild next round. Yeah, or
Lazy river gets you a Uh photo card if you have the most.
Even if I'm tied. But what I was thinking about doing is knocking you off the plunge, but then you're for sure going to get that photo.
Um and Ru still got a bunch of flops, so he'll push you off. Exactly. Uh you can't go there. You actually just have to make a decision if you're going to go to the Oh, you can't jump from up high when you're already in the water.
All right. Well, then I'll go to changing room because I'll probably lose at the lazy river.
All right, so I'm going to activate my um going to go with Shoot, I'm going to take a treasure chest. I'm going to activate my um headstand. And I'm going to just take a treasure chest.
Treasure chest. What does that do? Can we docu cam?
Yes, we can. So that gives me a point right up front. Each prize type is an end game point. So I have three additional end [clears throat] game points just with this card. Oh, another one came out. Yep. Oh, nice. All right. Ah, but no one can get it this time. That was me. All right, take Maybe I want to do my plank. Uh the plank can go here for another rainbow meepsicle. I don't like that. Or um yeah. You know what? I want that other meepsicle. So that I have three. And that's the end of my turn. And you get two points, right?

Okay. Pick up. You got a ride. I bumped you. Wait, where did Where was it? My my my plankers.
I thought it was the one I just placed. I was like, you couldn't Okay, so now You got to roll for the plunge bump. Maybe you could get 10 points if you land in a non-flop position. Roll for the plunge bump. So down there. Cannonball bounce. Good luck. Standing. Uh reroll. GOT STUCK. OH. HEADSTAND ONE. WAIT, IS THAT 10 POINTS?
That's 10. Wait, are you sure that I'm playing right because I have so many points?
You are playing right. And then this can go anywhere or must go to the lazy river or changing room? Okay. Uh Nice. I really feel like Ru is going to bump your second one here.
We'll see.
All right.
We'll see, but I'll just go changing.
Well, they're going to be wild next round. Yep. Uh I think I'm going to activate my standers. Oh, I I've already done my my turn. I activated I have one more to go, sorry. Okay.

Nicely played. All right. And Becca. All right, I've got two standers. I see four points there. Yep. Which you didn't get, but if I do that, then I can't bump you out of here.
Mhm. You're just going to bump me right back. Maybe. You got 10 points last round. That's right. I know. Okay, so if I go here and only take half of it, that'll be two points. Uh but then you'll bump me and this will be maybe 10 from the plunge bump.
Or you could get um well, or maybe none. Yeah, the decisions that have to be made in life.
At the water park. Okay. I told you they can't help themselves.
They must score points, fun points. I think the plunge bump is too fun. We're going to bump you.
Hey.
Nice. All right. So I go Oh, down down the shoot. All right, come on. All right, so you just go into lazy river or changing room. You know what? If I get the This is just me and Now you're winning.

That's cool. And I think I'm going to grab a a shark plushy, please. I need that.
I wanted. Okay, so now we're tied, I believe. Yep. Yep, I'm trying to keep up. I have to think how you're playing. With a crocodile puppet. Um [snorts] We're done? Wait, how do you have so much stuff? Because he improved.
I improved on the roll. Oh. So what I'm going to do is, let me see. Oh, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to go here to get a rainbow meepsicle. Arcade. Your fourth rainbow meepsicle? Yeah. Oh, you get two points. You get two points immediately, so one, two. 24 and then I've got a headstand. Is that the headstand over there? Yeah. Headstand or or over here. You know, this is too much fun.
I've got to do this. That's what everybody says. 10 points. 10 points. 10 So you definitely go win at the lazy river stop you from getting a photo. Yes, you Oh, and I have to because I'm already maxed out in the changing room. There you go. Okay. All right.
End of day two? End of day two. Now we score. So this is three points per slot times two, so purple, that's me, I get six points. Six. Purple gets six. Okay. We all get six. Yep, I get six. So six 24. No one gets six. Yeah.
In a way. And then over here I get eight and seven, that's 15.
Wow, very nice. So 39. Plus another four. Another four. Yeah. Two, three, four. Well done. 43. 43. Oh, nice. 36. Okay. Nice. I like that. Don't like it.
[clears throat]
I get a photo for the most meeples in the lazy river. We just get all guys back. Okay. Changing room, these will be wild for the next round. Yes, so you put them in the center. Yep. And then I'm going to grab my guy. There's Becca's. Put that in the middle for the wild.
the arcades, they just come back to us. Back to us. Oh, yeah. Thank you very much. You're welcome.
the the lifeguard has to return. Oh, lifeguard. He's like, I'm done with this family today.
And then kids cove. I don't care cuz I'm not there. I'm going to take three points. How many points do you have? I'm three up to 46 and I'll take five up to 60. Goodness gracious. Okay. Oh, it's the last day of our vacation. Let's make it fun. I'm so sunburned.
I think it's time. Okay. So the starting First player. Yeah, now it's all going to change for me. Today's the day.
Okay. You're already in the lead.
Oh, okay. I'm going to get more in the lead.
But y'all are catching up and you've been to the arcade more than I have. I love the good old arcade. Okay, here we go. All standers.
Cannonball. Okay, we've got a headstand, a headstand, a headstand and four flops, but I'll reroll.
to reset these. More headstands.
Okay. And the planker. Okay, and then two flops. All right.
I'll decide what I want with my two wilds in a minute. Cool. Tino's turn. Sorry, I was just resetting. How dare you? All right. So I have two, four, six, eight guys and one in the center for a wild. All right, come on guys. Oops. Hey. Oh, I'll take it. Two standers. Oh, no, three standers. Oh my gosh. One, Wow. Romanos are showing off.
Very nice roll. Oh, wow, that is a pretty impressive roll. So let me grab my guys. Okay. He uh he was a stander and another headstand, so kind of two of each. And then I'm going to try to see if this guy can do anything. Nope, so he's a flop. Who is this? Yeah.
I think so. I love doing nothing on vacation. Okay, floppins [clears throat] we got. Nice. You got three.
Planker, planker. Oh, another planker and a headstand. Okay. Yep. And everyone else we're going to go back into the cannonball bounce.
Yes. Come on, stand up. Uh planker. Couple of flops. Okay. Cool. You have only one flop over there.
Only one flop. Quite impressive. I could move him to a flop and then I could be equal with everybody. I'm going to move mine. I think I'm going to go standing. Yeah, both mine are going to be standing.
Uh it's it's an interesting little thing that happens here when we have to look at each other's Yeah. I don't know what I'm doing. And then we check who has the most floppers, right? I've got two. Well, it all depends where I put my wilds. Oh, that's a wild. I'm going to put mine as a I'm going to put mine as a flop.
I will flop. Well played. Too good.
take a stander. You get lifeguard? I get a lifeguard. You do get that. You're the only one, so you actually have an extra extra guy. That's why I seem real good.
So three, six, seven, eight, nine. Nine, so that's right here. Eight points for the plunge. Okay. Which is good. So just to let you know, on the third day any meeple that is in the changing room gets a point. Oh, okay. Only one point. It's like a consolation.
Okay, I took my lifeguard as a stander. All right, so you activate one section. I'm first. Yes, you are. I think we should start with the cannonball bounce, naturally. Oh, you got two points. headstand. Oh, sorry. Yes. Two points. Two points, love it. I go to 62 and another headstand and two flops to place. Okay, so this is four points.
Oh, no, this Remember, it's a decision. Yeah, it's a decision. It's either to the lazy river or to the changing room after the cannonball bounce. Right. And I I I had to abbreviate the rules.
I was thinking I still got to place them. That was silly of me. [clears throat] Okay. Um well, straight up points in the lazy river sounds good. Uh I'll only get one photo card and I'm guaranteed one here. And y'all don't have that many flops, so I guess I'll put
Pointer. That's fine.
No, let's go lazy river. Just go lazy river. [clears throat] I think I'm going to activate my flops as well, but I'm going to go here. Yeah. Okay.
Potentially. And I forgot to mention, this is called the grab bag. We have one slot per color. Cool. This is supposed to be gray. Just off the top of the deck. And we draw. Grab bag. What you get? Treasure card. Love it. Okay. That's good. Um I'm going to activate my What's on the log today? We've got
either a stander or a flop. Stand or a flop.
To get two points and potentially Yeah, I'm going to do both of my stands, so we'll do one on the log, please. Thank you. And then I'm going to use my photo card. Says discard any number of arcade prize cards from the arcade and refill. We're going to get rid of them all. Jeez, nice. And I want to see what's out here in the arcade.
Yeah, time to use my photo. Got a submarine race, which I don't need. Crocodile puppet, which I don't need. Well, I mean maybe I could. Yeah. A pirate hat. Okay, pirate hat if I have a crocodile puppet and a shark. I do have a shark.
Well, now you can get a crocodile puppet and Yeah. Score those points, too. So you can get the pirate hat and a crocodile. Okay, so I'll do this. Gets you three points immediately. Right? One, two, three. Nice. Okay, that's been used, so I'll just leave that face down. Um And that's it, right? Yep. Throwing up a new card.
Another submarine. Oh, I need those. To get six points, eight points. All right, Becca. All right. What's our plunge bump at? Eight points. Eight. Yep. Okay. Just want to make sure we had updated. Let's see. [clears throat] So This the race is not going well for me. The crocodile puppet I only have one and so getting an extra five points sounds pretty good. Uh there's seven here, but I might not get to keep it. There's two here. Which could improve. Yep, so many choices. Plus there's always the the kids cove. Yeah, I think I should guarantee a crocodile puppet. That's a good choice.
So you get points immediately. Right? One point. 63. Okay. That would make me Are you going to lock that down, Tino? The shark plushy? Shoo. I'm going there if you're not going to.
I'm getting that shark. How many you have? One? I have one. And I have two.
Yep. And I have one. That'll lock it down for you. That would lock it down. 10 points.
happens if you two are tied? It's friendly, so you both get two and I get six, no matter what.
So long as it's not 1 2 3. And we're tied for second, so we would each get six points. Okay, cool. So, how do I want to play this out?
Look at you. Um I think I'm going to activate my standers. Mhm. I'm going to go here. On the log flume, possible.
I'm going to go here. Yep.
And I think I need to lock in Shark plushy.
Yeah, I'm going to get the shark plushy. There you go.
Thank you. You're welcome. Now the treasure chest. I've got uh my plankers, so I Oh, wait. What is that? Is that a planker over there? Yeah. Yep. Planker over there. All right.
Okay, here you go. I'm going to plank over here to get my um crocodile puppet, so I can score my pirate hat. Crocodile puppet gives me one right now. Mhm. Fill this. And I've got two more plankers. We're going to plank here. Nice. And uh what else is on the log there?
a plank spot over there. Plank. Is there one corner over there?
plank spot here right in the front.
Well, you help yourself by pushing your other stuff.
Okay, we're going to go there. All right.
Thank you, and that's the end of my plankers. You going to score so many points with these plushies. Just move that over there. Did you have fun?
Yeah. But the two of you have no more standers. So, I'm going to activate my standers and shove Dino off of the plank. Hey! All right. Enjoy. Good luck. Go. Go. Go. Yes! The head stand.
Eight points, please.
All right, eight. Wow.
join you. Well, um you kind of secured it. I'm going to go there. Yeah. All right. Thank you for that. Let's see. I could get two points here with my stander. Uh I could shove myself off, and probably that's a bad decision.
I could go Kids Cove. Um likely to get bumped. Or there's a second treasure chest that would get me four points total. But I'm going to take the risk on Kids Cove. Nice.
Kids Cove. All right, Dino. Oh, my turn already? Already.
Okay, I am going to join I'm going to activate my um Hey. Actually, my head stands. Okay. Mhm, that's tricky. But I'm going to risk it. I'm going to go here. Actually, I need the eight points, so Okay. I'm going to have to go uh on the submarine races, so the first position for the submarine card. This one. And the last position. Nice. Nice. So, I can actually get eight points.
Oh, do I reshuffle the discards though?
Yeah. Okay. Reshuffle those. Uh yeah, this There are more um You won the submarine race. No, you got second.
Yeah, I got second, but I'm going to get eight points.
Eight points right now? Which is No, at the end of the Yeah, it's blue. Okay, Ru well. So, that's it.
Yep. All right. Um head stand, right? Oh, I could head stand over there, huh? You could.
But what's underneath that? I don't know. Man, I don't want to get shoved off over here. I'm going to get the six points here. Going to try?
That's what you think, cuz I have 1 2 3 4 5 head stands. So, first I'm going to make you take the plunge. Take the plunge. Give me the eight points, please. Plop. Yes. Nice. Eight points. So, up to 48. And then I decide here this will be one point at the end of the game. Okay. It's not a bad idea. I'll just take the one. She's kind of like secured that. Tis mine. All right, this will just be two points most likely. Unless I move it Unless we don't know what the case will be.
better. Could come out. We haven't seen a Tesla yet. Yeah. Not yet. But again, there's there's one in It's just one in the stack.
But I could place here, it moves, and then the other one just is all head stands, and I get to place again.
Exactly. And then that would mean this person gets zero points. I mean, he gets one. He'll get two points, but he also gets a photo card. Yikes.
I think it's worth the risk.
Yeah. Okay. Cuz
All right, let's move them along. Be nice. Yeah, there's one there. What's under there?
Yeah, but okay. Oh, no. Yeah, I'll take some points. Cuz that will help me get more points.
Yeah, it will, and it will take them away from you. You started it. Okay. That's the game.
That's the game. All right, so I'm I've got some points on the fossil flume. Yep. The plunge is already set for me. Mhm. Uh change do do do do arcade. I could get a crocodile puppet again, but um it's only one point by itself. Yeah, I'd get four points for a treasure chest. That seems like the move. Take that treasure chest. Uh and this is my fourth type. Oh, I get one point immediately up to 64. Nice. Nice. And then the arcade just has a crocodile puppet available. Boring.
[clears throat]
Mhm. And a shark plushy would have really got me another six points, and I'm so silly for not doing that, cuz I took so many pirate hats.
[snorts and laughter]
How can I change my head stand to a flop? I can't. Okay. Done. Done. Done. Nothing to do but accept Kids Cove. That's all I've got available.
Yeah, but then I make You have three I turn my five into a three, but I get an extra four.
Yeah, mhm. Bummer. Should have taken the shark plushy when I had the chance. All right, I'm going to activate my plankers. Okay.
I'm joining you. And I'm going to the lazy river. Can I go to the Oh, I can only do one at the end here?
You get knocked out, yep. This is absolutely to the lazy river. Do you get a point right now?
Two points. Yeah, one time the points plus a photo card.
Hey, I'll take that.
That's not bad. Not bad. And then these are going to move around. Please don't be a Tesla. Oh, the wilds. Oh, maybe you'll join me. No, I don't want you to join me.
Uh I'm going to bump You Ru well. Oh, okay. Come on, stand up. Stand up. Oh. Yes.

Yeah. And then you You still have two two more I'm going to call that Ru well is going to pull this out. I'm going to play this card.

Clean up vacation.
Thank you so much. You cleaned up on the vacation. I'm going to ride out on a flamingo floating of victory. Nice. This is this is a great day. I really want to go to a water park now. I do too. Dino, thank you so much for showing us the game. Thank you guys for playing. It was such fun playing with you guys today. Meeple vacation is available right not available is on Kickstarter starting today so please go check it out. I had a delightful time. Hey, if you don't want to
splurge on the actual water park just take your family to meeple vacation and they'll be
equally happy and no sunburns. Yeah, exactly. No sunburns this game. I I do want to the one thing I do want to point out is that each round each side of the board has different rules except the middle one. Yeah, okay. Um but they are different sides but I do the the one thing that this prototype doesn't have is that these two yeah, I'll just show you like this that this will be in half so you can either flip this one or flip this one in any way that you modular arcade but It's a different type of rules so over here if you have if you put a standee down you get to choose from either of the cards here. If you put a you know you get those last prizes available So the headstand just got to Nice and there's a flippin slide racer. So that's a really fun one. I was thinking we should play that but it's okay. So slip and slide race is kind of the end of the day event that everyone's been talking about so every meeple that's in there that you just basically roll them down the meeple thing and then you you score accordingly so based on how they land. Okay, cool. And then over here the riptide rapid?
Yeah, so this is also collaborative.
I love these rides. Uh you start at that on the on the purple seat and you kind of make your way around. If a rapid if one of the the the devices or whatever you call these things the floaties are full you get two x points. Oh. Okay. So you want to you kind of work together.
