Heat. Heat.

Okay.

Game night, I guess.

I guess.

How you doing?

Hello.

I think I think that was Yeah, we were hearing doubles. Hey, Dancing Dizzy.

Yeah, we're hearing a double now.

Oh, yeah. We're hearing.

Oh, wow.

Okay.

Maybe it's this call. Hold on. Let me see.

We had we had problems with this.

Yeah, we're still hearing it.

Oh, maybe not. Okay. Is it delayed or

is it or is it like in real time?

Hey.

Hey. Thanks.

I have no idea. Thanks so much, dancing, Desi.

Wow.

Much appreciated troubles.

You think

that's uh stuff.

Thanks so much for the support. It's 99. Got to do the 99 months, man. Is it 59?

That's a That's a 59 months. Yeah, it's a that's a big All right. All right. All right. All right. All right.

We're going to go insane.

My head might explode.

Is this Oh, that was probably even worse for you then. Yeah,

it's not playing on there.

Okay.

I don't think it's playing on YouTube.

Yeah, you don't have Twitch or YouTube open on that on that machine or something.

It seems to have stopped. So, maybe it was YouTube.

No more echo.

But it wasn't like playing.

We you know, we had the chat, but yeah. Interesting. Okay. Well, hey,

we didn't have music going, so yeah, you wouldn't have known till we started.

Too much craziness. We did have music, though. I don't know.

Well, when we started, there was no audio passing for the music. I think the playlist just stopped, but yeah.

Okay. I mean, I only literally just started it moments before, but

anyway, how you doing everybody? It's been a crazy mess um technology-wise.

Uh this is the second time we've had some weird audio stuff. I have was when I was doing the paint streams, I was having nothing but audio trouble. So, I had to paint while hearing myself and the music. I do like hearing the music. I could have just turned it all off, but not having the music uh is actually kind of strange um when I'm doing that. I don't know why, but um hope everybody's doing well. We are busy as all get out. Um already we will be leaving for Europe soon for which we're excited about.

What day did you leave again? We leave on the 11th. Um, so the week before to go see Annie and Sebastian and Kristoff and

um, so hopefully that'll be good. We're we're looking forward to We haven't seen them for Well, we saw Kristoff.

We haven't seen Kristoff in forever, man. It's been I was just reviewing an edit of one of his videos and I was like I also kind of don't want to use it yet. We don't have that many episodes of Kristoff, but um, what are you going to do? We um, we do need episodes. We are going to be filming a couple times over the next week. I'm trying to get some stuff done. Got a special guest coming next week who may or may not be on the live stream. I doubt it. Daryl might be on the live stream. Um, so uh Oh,

hey.

You know, I need my real glasses. I can't read that.

That is something orange head. So, I can't

It should be in the thingy, too. M I can read if I get right.

It's Miss Moth Man.

It's Mrs. Moth Man. Okay. Well, thank you so much, Mrs. Moth Man. Uh yeah, I need the other glasses. I don't know why I don't have them on now. I can see that stuff.

Okay.

Hey, Zako. How you doing,

Coolio? trying to use these battery these battery um sleeves that you can convert 9 vol uh double A batteries to C batteries and I'm having nothing but troubles. I think it's because I'm using ones that we already are using, but I want to have rechargeables and it's I don't have rechargeable C's.

I'm tired of like having batteries for Ow. Wow, I broke that too a little bit. Maybe that'll help. Anyway, we are going to play a game called Dewan today. I have actually been asking for this game for

day one,

months, maybe close to a year. Um, it is not in the United States. Uh, I don't know what's going on.

Um, for whatever reason, ASI didn't pick it up. And then recently actual LOL um did a video where they were saying that they feel it is the best starter game and they like Tickets Ride as a starter game which I happen to agree with.

I think it's a very good game with the tension. Oh man, this is terrible. Uh with the tension of like what can I do on my turn? Somebody's going to take what I want. Um, but it's uh I'm so I'm excited to try this out. Um, and we actually got this copy from the library and we have to send it back. So, if we like it and we still want to do it, you know, we do games that aren't necessarily available in the US. Um, and if that's the case, then um, we better do it soon if we're going to do it.

Yay! Your battle with the

Yay! I beat the flashlight. Let's see if it works.

Battery holder converter.

Weird. I wonder if they're just a little longer or something here. Yay, it works.

That's so exciting.

Now I need to turn it off. There we go. We need a flashlight out here. And we have rechargeable doubleAs's. I actually just picked this up a couple weeks ago. Wow. Been playing a bunch on BGA, too. Nice. So, that's interesting. I wonder if

did did you uh Zako, where did you pick it up from? Um

but I have been hearing about it. We've had it for since um May. Well, not May, but June, sometime in June. Um, and we just didn't we didn't get a chance to get to it yet. And I don't remember what Kristoff thought of it. Um, I think he said he liked it, but we just didn't get to it. There was like so many other things that we uh have been trying to do, but um I'm excited to try it out.

I hope that um the YouTube is I know the YouTube is working. I've just cut that window out. Uh let's see if it still makes that noise if we go there. Although it might not if we mute it. deposit immediately. Um, what else has been going on?

Everything.

I know it has been busy.

Derek was at uh a blood on the clock tower con last weekend.

Yeah. Clock Tower Con Vegas, which is affectionately known as Magicians, Gamblers, and Drunks.

Sure.

Okay.

Uh those are the names of rolls and blood on the clock tower. And they all have to do with Vegas. So that's that's why they call that con magicians, gamblers, and drunks. Um,

I went there uh had a really good time. I played 22 games of Blood on the Clock Tower in person while I was there.

One of them was a fun It was one of those things you would only do at a convention where they basically combined Blood on the Glock Clock Tower with two rooms in a

boom. Okay. So they uh uh they they ran two games of Clock Tower where with two different characters uh completely different pools of characters in each town and like two rooms in a boom after every day phase you could nominate someone to send uh to be a representative to send people to swap between towns and basically the mayor starts in one town and the boom dandy starts in another town and if and basically the two rooms in a boom thing is the tiebreaker. If the good team wins both games, then good wins. If the evil team wins both games, then evil wins. But if one team wins each game, the tiebreaker is is the boom dandy in the same town as the mayor. And if that's the case, the evil team would win. Uh I was on the good team and we won on the tiebreaker. It was an interesting idea. Um very complicated. Uh if uh you have to be a very experienced uh it takes a pair of very experienced storytellers to pull that off and make it a enjoyable experience for the players. Um uh so it's a it's it's a grueling uh variant uh to to run, but it's uh it it was very enjoyable. I had a I had a lot of fun with that. Yeah. Like I said, you need two very experienced Blood and the Clock Tower storytellers to uh to do it though.

Wow. [clears throat]

So that they don't accidentally create like an unwinable scenario for one team, you know.

Yeah. We uh

so uh it was very good time.

It's interesting that Canada has it. If it's I wonder if it's imported or if it's um for whatever reason as Canada decided to do it. Not here. Um

Oh, interesting.

I'm not sure. Um the uh what else we got going down the um we we're editing. Derek is editing. He's going to be in deep. That's why we're a little late getting started. Derrick is in deep editing trying to get

I was in an editing tunnel and lost track of time. Yeah, that's why we're like

we have a couple of Halloweenish games that we are trying to get done in time for Halloween. And I mean it is the beginning of the month. You think we would be able to make it. Yeah. Um

one of them will be coming out. I'm not certain when, but before Halloween and the other one will be before Halloween as well, but it will be just days before Halloween. Um and I haven't even built that project yet. I've been dealing with the files and everything and I got to do something for Derek before I can send it off to him. But um but it's crazy and then you know we literally have just over a week um

once again it always ends up being such a a a quick runup to uh spiel and then we have only a couple weeks at home and then we go for BGcon. So uh these it is crazy how these two months end up um kind of being so brief. um because of the conventions, you know, and they're only, you know, five days long. Both of them are only five days long, but it's the all the,

you know, uh stuff around it that makes it a little bit more challenging. Um anyway, so let's get started on this. I have only seen this game on video, and this always looked much bigger to me. So, I was stunned when I came out here and saw because it's in a you know, one of the bigger sized boxes, but it's not as I mean, massive player boards here as far as heft and everything,

right?

Um, and this is the basic game that we're going to play.

We're doing the basic. Yeah, there's a there's a scenario kind of one you can start to play and there's a cooperative or something also um that you can play,

but I'm just doing the straight

one from page one of the rule book. Cool. I'm looking forward to it.

Are you ready for me to start?

Yeah, go for it.

Okay. So, um we are looking to rebuild and survive and expand um our tribes.

Oh.

So, we are each a tribe of our own. We are going to be working on this board here and as Lincoln said, it is tiles. So, we each get a starting tile. And then depending on the number of players in the game, which there are only two, you get some uh neutral tiles. So, there's only two because there's only two of us. And we put our little camp um token on our starting position here. And we'll lay it down there.

Oh, I see. So, there there are starting boards for each player. These are start. I can show you.

That's funny because you're saying that it's what we're doing and I'm like laughing because it's an abstraction, right? And somebody was

uh complaining about on the, you know, just commenting, not complaining, uh about on the Brummer's uh brothers Murf top 10 video we have of abstract games. They're like, "These are not abstract games." And I wanted to write um pretty much let's uh you know hilariously pretty much every game is an abstraction because we're not surviving here. We're abstracting survival on a board game.

Exactly. So the starting tiles are marked. The back sides will have a little camp on them. So there's four of them in the box. And then there are the neutral tiles which you get a stack of and they have like a whole scene on them like a mountain and a tree and all this stuff. And then there are some other tiles for scenarios. So this is a volcano scenario and there's tiles in the box for that. And this is some kind of weather or storm thing. So we're not using those. Um and you do the starting positions and the other basic tiles just randomly drawn. Um this is really only just showing um the way things are going to score at the end of the game. So, if you're playing a different scenario or something else, there will be there are other tiles for um that right here. All right. But this is the one we're playing. And then it shows you the board setup.

Um oops. Uh for number of players on the back side.

Okay.

All right. But this is the scoring here. And I'll get all into that. We score everything at the end of the game, but we are going to trigger things as we place more of our camp uh camps down. So, we get

working for the camp.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. We get eight camps on our player board and then we put one on our starting tile. And um we get to uh we draw two um terrain uh cards at the beginning of the game and then at the beginning of your turn you are going to um draw two more. Okay.

Um then this top row is story cards. This is where like the big points come in for the game. This helps you score those points and it helps you move around the board um and uh place your camps in different terrain types. Okay,

this is the starting t uh tile. I'm going to take it. I want to explain the game first before we draw a story card so you know what you're drawing, right?

Um

all right. So, um that is sort of the a very light theme of the game and its components. Um let me skip down my notes. Um right, right, right. Uh when you gain um the story tiles, you're going to start on the um left side of your board and work your way up. And all of your um

camps

camps kind of line up with each of these story card deals. And you can see kind of up close there's a little line here that points up to the story card, but there's also a little line that points down for tucking cards. All right. And I'll explain all of that

in a minute. And the last space has a fire. And that is one of the ways um

game end

you score at game. It's game end and then this fire is going to count as some points at the end of the game.

Um okay let's see. Okay. So I am going to just for examples and so on. I'm going to just draw two more like it's the terrain. Um I'm doing it wrong already. You're going to draw them from there.

I'm going to draw them from here. You draw two. They have to be adjacent to each other. So, I couldn't draw this one in this one. I have to draw two or two or you know,

some of them are two different train types,

right?

Is there a difference for that? Is it are these like potentially better because you can do two things with it?

You don't get to do two things.

You don't get to do both, but you get they're optional, right? You're choose.

They're optional. You would choose whether you want to do a desert or a water with this one. Um, the terrain cards have the terrain type, which this is water. Um, mountains. Um,

dang.

Deserts.

Bad lands.

Bad lands. Okay.

Badlands, forest,

beach or something or desert. Probably

that's desert.

Yeah. Um, some of them have uh icons at the bottom and I will get to that related also and that is not related to the location. Um, and that that comes into play with the tucking

uh deal. So on a turn, the first thing you do is you draw two cards. So I'm just randomly going to take these two. Then you would decide this fills immediately.

Mhm. So, we'll just do it. Can we can restart everything when we really start playing?

You can do it. You can get us going this way.

Then I would choose what I want to do on my turn and I would play one of my terrain cards to start um moving to or not one. I would choose where I want to go on the board at the beginning of the game. It doesn't matter what terrain type I choose um for my starting because this is a wild

but you must pay for the one you're leaving from.

You pay every single space you pass through including the space you want to end on

and start because that's start. So later in the game, if I'm here and I want to move out from here, the one of the cards I have to play is a desert tile because that is a desert space.

Is there any wild cards?

There are no wild cards as far as I could um tell.

Okay,

so on a turn and

so to cross water, you will need a card that has water on it. Okay. uh you'd start the game with a story tile, but again I don't want to get into that quite yet. I just want to show the movement on the board. Okay. So I uh let's say I I want to go to this desert right here.

So I could play any card for here.

A mountain.

And I'd have to play a mountain also. So let's just play uh this one. And I can't end there. I'll play a different um mountain card. And then I will play a desert card. All right. So, I'm moving.

Yeah. Your order is wrong there. You should

My order is totally

You should just put the green or the bad lands first.

Yeah. I want to start green.

Yeah.

And then mountain and then desert. Okay. So, this is where I want to go. I will play these three cards. They will go to the discard. I will take my first camp and I will place it.

So, you're just going to place. There's not even any thinking. you're immediately you're going to try to place all of them. So,

yeah.

Okay.

Because when you place them, things trigger on the board and stuff.

All right. The next thing I'm going to do after I have done this is I want to see if uh

any effects have triggered and effects will be from things on the board or things. Um because I've taken a camp off of my player board on the first turn, this triggers nothing. But I have landed in a place with this berry.

Okay.

Uh the every one of these places has two berries on them.

I will take one. Berries are worth two points at the end of the game for each berry.

So those are points. That little logo is Oh, that's I guess points. I don't know what that is.

It's the guy. It's the character with the

cover

cover. Um, these would go to the discard right here

and that would be the end of my turn. There's nothing else that happened on my turn. But if I had made a story, I'd do that. There's another rule about placing I want to point out, which is if we were later on in the game and I wanted to go here

or through movement as well, right?

Yeah. This would be movement again. If I wanted to go to the same place, but Lincoln was in my way, I would play this card. This card would go to Lincoln and it would go into his hand of cards. So now he's got an additional terrain card. There's no hand limit.

So he would still be drawing his two cards at the start of his turn and all of those things would happen. And then I would get put my thing here and take the berry and see if anything else triggered on my board. And that's all about movement. Okay.

Um, okay. The next thing, let me check my notes again. All right. So, on turn, it's kind of labeled this. This is turn one, two, three. Uh, I'm sorry. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8.

Right. Cuz you're going to be putting things here and you're also going to be putting cards down here.

Right. Okay.

So, those go away out of your hand, too.

Yes, they do. But you have to have cards in your hand in order to tuck them. So,

right.

I haven't played the game, but I would imagine it's pretty bad if you trigger a tuck action and you have no cards to tuck because there's no way you go back to that action to do it later. you just lose out on it.

All right. Um,

crossing another player's camp. Um,

like the art not so busy you can easily sort things over. Yep. It's very clear.

How you doing, Edwin Drew?

All right. [clears throat]

Another thing to point out is if I go into this zone again,

zone,

and the berry is still there and I place another camp here, I can take that berry also. Okay.

All right. But so there's no limit to that based on the zone I'm in. But if Lincoln gets there next, then he can take that berry for the two points at the end of the game.

Um, okay. I talked about following the lines as to what would trigger

on the board and the turns that they trigger and um

okay we are doing pretty good. It's going to get hot again here. It's already getting warm which I do not look forward to like blazing heat before we leave. Uh because it will be hot I think the whole way. Let me look. It's t Thursday. It'll be close. The forecast will be close anyway. Calendar. Oh no. Weather. Yeah, it's like 100 degrees every day. Wow. It's adjusted to 100 degrees every day except it cools down just before we leave.

Right. Let's do that.

Yaoza. that and I played those and they are out

100.

All right. So, at the start of the game, we choose one of these for here.

Yeah. I don't know exactly what they they are.

And what I want to say is fires are one point each at the end of the game if you complete that story or fulfill that story. If you are the player with the most fire, you get an additional four points. Okay.

So, you can see some of these cards don't have any fire on them, and some of them do.

Uh, the guy in the little white outfit is straight up points.

Yeah, that's pretty good right there.

If the story is complete, seven points for this one, two, four, whatever. Right. In order to complete a story, you need to either have or a combination of the um terrain types or the resources, which are these things here. All right. So, if I chose this one, let's just do a simple terrain type one. You place it on your board at the bottom of your board so that the X at the top is showing. This is telling you that you have not completed this story yet. All right. As soon as I have camps in individual zones, I'm just going to lay it out.

I need three uh mountainous zones. So, let's say I do one, two.

That that is the buildings that you have or the camps that you have. Is that That's what this is where you have camps at.

Wow. Okay.

Okay. And then I also need

two forests.

Two forests. I mean, this is

Yeah, I I'm I'm doing it the hard way right now.

Are they all that complicated?

I don't think so. Maybe we redo it.

Well,

and I already have a desert.

There's a few here that are like six or five,

right?

Because those are all kind of big. So the deal with these are

there are such a thing as zones and zones are same terrain types next to each other.

Mhm.

So in this instance I have to have my camps in three different zones. M.

So I couldn't have a camp and a camp here because this

whole entire attached mountain range is one zone.

Sure. But

so this would only count as one. Exactly.

But this would count as two for you.

Well, I'm talking about I'm talking about mountain zone.

I am correct. This counts as a mountain and this counts as a mountain.

This is one mountain zone right here. This is one mountain zone right here. This is one mountain zone right here. But I believe these adjacencies count towards that. But anyway,

now that's scoring at the end of the day.

Okay.

So, we can't share a thing. So, I'll get that off of there. So, I'd have three mountain zones this hard way. I'd have two I didn't have two. Yeah. Two.

You do have three. Oh, one's over here.

Two um forests and one of these. I have now completed this dream or story. I would slide it up to the top. It's showing me to draw a card. And when this happens, I draw a card from the top of the deck, not from the array.

So, when we're choosing, we can only choose from the the cards on the array.

Yeah. When you're doing the initial two at for your turn, it's here, right?

And you cannot

You're always going to draw two on each turn.

Yeah.

Okay, cool.

Um, when you finish a story, you draw from the top of the deck. So, I would draw from the top of the deck. Yay. Um, that's one way to do it. Now, if you

have tucked cards and I need to show you a tuck. These are terrible tucks for my example purposes.

Tuck, tuck, tuck.

Are they tucks? Medicated pads. Okay, if I had tucked a card here, this counts as its own zone of mountain range. So, I wouldn't have to have a um camp to make it an additional camp there because this is one, two, three. All right, because I have the tucked card counting as a camp. This tuck card also has an icon on it. So, this icon is gonna help me towards completing any cards with this um s this it looks like a necklace symbol right

on it. So, that would help.

So, yeah, ones you've collected before will count. They don't go they don't disqualify once you've completed a story, right?

Um no, these stay

these two.

And those are going to stay too. and they always continue to count for you for other um

stories. Let

me put this one back. And I am skipping something and I'm not finding it in

Okay. What is Legends of Roku? Is that the new um Seven Rings game? Uh not Seven Rings. Legend of the Five Rings or whatever. Or no, probably not. I know that I don't remember the name of the game. That's that one. Legend of the Five Rings. I think that is what I'm thinking, but

Okay. So, just to point it out, how do you tuck a card? How do you um

complete

trigger a getting a story

when you pull off a camp? Meaning you pulled them off to finish.

Pull them off to place on the board. You would follow this little line here. It tells you what to do.

So when I lift this one to put it, I would figure out if anything triggered. Then I could choose a story and place it here.

I see.

When I do this one onto the board, I can tuck a card underneath. All right. Is this making any sense or am I confusing you?

Oh, game found. Okay. Huh? Let me look that one up. Oh, is the new Five Rings game area control game. Okay, there we Gunson. That's the one I'm thinking of. Well, we got one that we'd like to do. We're trying to figure out if we can do it. Um, we got um, Horror on the Orient Express coming and uh, that looks amazing. Really looks amazing. Um, so we're hoping to do that one at some point, but it's long. We've done two long games recently and I'm not relishing another one for us just production-wise. It's a little challenging um, to film and to edit. And I mean to film tough to edit really tough is River. I didn't know River of Gold was actually a um uh I wonder if we still have that. We were going to do it and it got sent off for to do the um the in focus video for it. We did we were hired by the uh and I Nick and Mike uh did the video for that. Let me look it up.

Um River of Gold. I've heard that one was good, too, but we just I don't I think we it took a long time before they sent it back to us. which I try not to do that, but it happens. It is out of our collection, so we probably needed to send it for the library. Are you talking about um River of Gold to play Edwin or Horror on the Orient Express? Horror on the Orient Express is actually not that hard. It's hard to edit because it's a lot and there's some interesting things because the trains have information that you only see from one angle which I don't understand why that's important but because I think anybody should be able to see it from any position. It's not like it's the train game. Yeah, horror is amazing.

Amazing. Uh, we don't have big water on here, but if if there was a bunch of water attached to each other, you only have to play one card to um get across that water.

But just you would just crossing one, right?

I'm just I'm saying if this was if

I know, but don't do it that way. My point is is all I'm going to say is

uh Well, we can do

Well, here's a tile with

Let's just say this is here,

right? And I want to go here and then here you're saying one or can I go here and then here not just one?

It's one

one water.

Wow.

Regardless of the size of the water but

the lake

we have all individuals. Okay.

And it's really important to understand what I said about zones

because now we're going to move into here's how we score and why we're doing what we're doing. Mhm.

You are going to score as many of these as you finish,

right?

You are going to score uh one point for each fire that you have on your dream cards or anywhere else. Um

I mean, but that's scoring this card. So four plus three is seven. That's what you would get for that.

This is the way it's broken down. So you would take the dude and write three points. And then you would take the fire and you would write two points or whatever for all of them. Yes. For all your fires and all your finished cards. Okay.

Um then

you would um get four victory points for each group of camps. So a group is two or more camps. Um and they can't be like

they can't be

adjacent to each other. How is that a group of camps if they're not adjacent to

I mean the groups themselves can't be adjacent to each other. So this is a group, right? And you would get um four points for that group.

Okay.

And then if you had another camp, it couldn't right next to it like it would still be a camp and you would still only get four points for that camp.

But what if is camps only two tents?

Two or more?

Well, okay. So, you only get you would only get four total. You wouldn't get six for this. Okay.

It's always four no matter how many camps you have.

I see. Okay.

All right. Um, and then it's two points for these. And let me double check that with the zones.

The other thing that's coming, it's it's going to um I guess it's game found. It must be game found. Um, they're doing Arkham Horror second edition, uh, remastered, and it's like everything. You get all of the stuff, lots of things improved. I don't know if they changed the game. Uh, so more than two tents is not advant.

Okay, that's story tiles. Okay. for scoring

and seven years ago.

The other thing is if one of these asks for like this one asked for a lot of water, if I'm right here, that's two waters,

right?

All right. So, that breaks that that zone rule I was talking about.

Um, only for the tents though, right? I mean, you're you're always going to get if I had if here, give me one of those. If I had one here and one here, that's two water,

isn't it?

It's um

Yeah.

Or is it for scoring? You were saying for scoring?

I I I'm I'm hopping back and forth. I'm sorry I'm confusing you

because zones and scoring are a little different. Clusters and groups are different than zones.

Okay.

All right. zones are for when you're trying to do this situation. Um, and the groups are for when you're scoring.

How do we do these? Is it just being adjacent to that?

It's a being adjacent to that. Now,

is that what that's about? Like we can place

Yes. If If this is tucked, that will count as one of those. This still only counts as one of the

But then you have two for that.

I have two. I have this one and this one, but I don't have two. If I needed a third, I couldn't be there. I'd have to go somewhere else.

Okay.

All right.

Um, so it's going to be in five. It looks to me like the video that they have is it's five boxes like this that size for Arkham Horror. I believe it's five for the Arkham Horror stuff. I don't think they have minis. At least they don't show that yet. Um, I mean, you know, the campaign's not live. It doesn't start for like another 20 days or something. Um, of course, while I'm away, so I don't know. I'm sure it will be still going when we're um I have to make a decision. We have like just we don't have everything but we have a lot of Arkham Horror most everything.

Okay. Do you

I think we got it

understand the difference between

we'll see

zones and scoring and then what you need to score.

Okay. Okay. So, I'm starting player, but then that means you get to choose there first.

Sure. I'm not certain what I want for that stuff. I'm starting nowhere near forest, so it would be a bad idea to immediately pick something that has forests. Um, and there are no bad lands, so that's rad, too. By the way, um,

um, these are Are they not on the

These are bad lands,

correct? Do you notice one here?

No.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I understand what they are. Um H one, those blue things are just these icons. Are those boats?

Those are pigment.

Okay. Yeah. Five boxes is cool.

Yeah. Artifact crystal pigment. That's their names.

Okay. And I have to choose from what's visible, right?

Yeah.

Okay. So, I have this already, correct? Or do I not have this? Do I have to be in one of these spaces to get that?

You have to be in one of those to get that.

Um, and I I'm close to this. If I'm going to go for one, it's probably it's desert. These things here, the pigments and the artifacts. Uh would this being in these two spaces is count as two of those or does it have to be next?

It's only going to be one.

Okay. How wrong I say. Now, they don't have to be immediately adjacent. That's how you run across the board is just having enough cards to get there.

Yeah.

Um goodness. That has Chris. I I'll take this one. It's five points. Whatever. I'll take that one.

Okay. So, this goes.

There's the one I want for this area.

And then I'll just take I think

although I can't even go to the Badlands. I don't even have those cards.

Okay. Make sure it's down at the bottom with the X showing on the top. Mhm.

Then um we draw two cards fill

and then I'm going to look at these two because I don't know what I had gotten new.

Um but the full Arkham's great because you know there's Arkham Horror third edition, but I don't think they've done a ton for that one. I mean we played that gosh four or five years ago. So it's been a long time since that came out.

Probably longer than that. Has to be more longer than we did with Kevin

too.

And Kevin I believe Kevin and we had he hasn't been here since 2000. So that's like six six or seven years ago. Eight years ago probably seven years ago

now.

Do I draw now or just wait?

Oh now I try to move.

Okay.

Um so I got to lay out my cards for that. And I want to get I need pigment. So I'm probably going to just go backwards. So, I'm just gonna move one.

Yeah, I mean that's what I want to do, too. Kind of thing.

Do this and go right here. And nothing triggers.

And I am done with my Let me double check what happens when you place a camp.

Wow.

Nothing triggers. I'm pretty sure

you didn't pick one with forests or was that the one you picked from the beginning

that we just demoed?

Just now.

Okay. No, I picked just now from here and then this one came out. See, we are not the developers. Um Scott and um and Dan and Kyle are do most of the development. We are um we do the media stuff for BGG. Um and Derek is also part of that as well. Tai Harmon. Um,

okay. That's it. Nothing triggers on the very first turn.

Yeah, we want to do King's Gambit. We saw it at um, uh, we saw it at Gen Con. It looks amazing. I just, it's expensive. I have to decide whether I want to back it or not. Um, I mean, I'm sure we could get, you know, I want the whole thing like a crazy person. Uh, and uh, thanks. No, thanks for watching them, Ty. Um but yeah, we we would love to um I would love to have that whole thing, but I we are trying to reduce the game impact in this space. We have way too many games. If you went and looked at my Hey Time roller, if you went and looked at my um profile on BG until recently, we may even still have it. We had like 5,000 games. Um we have pulled tons of games. Um, not as many as I thought because I think it said 222.

Whether that's accurate, I don't know. Um, there's like a website that you can go to that pulls your information and shows what's going on. Um, yeah. I I want it though. It's so amazing. I don't think I need the playmat. Like, I could probably save the $70 or $80. I mean, I want the playmat, but I don't think I'm going to get I have to make a decision because it's only like it's a short uh crowdfunding campaign. So, I'm going to draw two.

Yes. I don't need this as much as I was because I didn't pick one of those and I can't get another one of them until I place the second one, right? Of these.

Yeah. So, that line right there is showing you that that when you place that camp, you get to choose something from here,

right? Okay. Well, I don't have

I don't really need to go backwards right now. I do want to go this way. So,

yeah. I don't know if backwards was a smart move, honestly. No, I mean I'm thinking the same thing that I might need to do it and I'll do this.

Okay,

so these come out.

Yeah, I can put them out later.

I know. Is there a left to right replenishment or anything or something like that?

I don't It wasn't strict.

I thought that it was, but anyway. And then

let me see.

I'm going So if I go here, this counts as just like for you two things. It counts as one of these and it counts as one of these. Right.

That's what I'm going to do.

Counts as a terrain type. And that

I picked up what has fire on it.

A whole entire zone. Okay.

Right.

You place here. You're going to have this. You're going to have this. And you get to take a berry.

Oh, nice.

Cuz that's in the same zone.

Zoen. Okay. I don't need the artifacts yet, but I would like to get artifacts. So, I'm going to spend this card. Sadly, it has an artifact on it. And then I'm going to move here. And I get one of these.

Yes.

And they're just points.

They're just two points per at the end of the game. Tuper.

Tuper.

Yeah, the Playmat is amazing. Okay. Um, and then

what were you asking me? Oh, the drawing. If there's an order to it.

Yeah. Put replenishing or no, putting uh filling the what you've pulled. I thought they were left to right. I don't know.

Closest to the draw pile. Replace the cards you just took

with the top two cards. I ended up

So, it's just boom boom.

I think I did it this way when I put these out, but it doesn't matter. That was the initial ones anyway.

That was the draw. I don't know. It's probably It probably is the same for that.

I'm sure it is.

Okay.

Okay, you're done.

I don't know why that matters. It doesn't cost anymore to take one to

Maybe with some of the other scenarios. Okay, there's a reason.

I know that I kind of glanced at it real briefly. There was something with like less cards in it. When it's two players, you adjust this, too. So, I don't even know how that goes. But, okay. I need to draw two cards. I need to

Man, you don't want to waste the cards with the icons on it.

No, you don't. You It's You have to think about, do I want to spend them to move or do I want to try to tuck them?

Yep.

So, I

also don't pay forget pay the spot you're landing. Oh, you know what? Did I play? You know what, Nikki? I didn't do that. I have to you have to spend two cards, right? We both did one. Zako is reminding us

what you have to

you have to spend the card that you're leaving from and the car and the card that you're landing on. You explained that, too.

I did explain that.

I guess I'll just do that one. Thank you, Zako.

Yes. What a dork.

What a dork.

What a dork. All right. Well, that changes a lot.

Yeah, it's bad. I would have chosen different cards, but I'd forgotten in the moments that you told me since you told me.

All right. So, I need

But yeah, the King's Gambit is a redo of The Queen's Gambit, which is the Star Wars

one.

Uh, which I have that game

two

and I believe that um Rob Davio worked I know he worked on that game and he's obviously working on the new one. Okay, this is for leaving my

but the the game that will come out with through retail through Space Cowboys is um is um basic the basic version. You can't get any of the deluxe stuff once once it's done that unless they do another crowdfunding thing with maybe an expansion or something. Um

this is horrible.

I started out just wrong.

Well, I did too. Um but what I really should not have drawn cards with symbols. I wasted another symbol to do that.

I want that one. I know I'm about to waste a symbol. What symbol do I want to waste? That one, I guess. Oh, wait. If I go that far, I need three,

right? [sighs]

Maybe I don't go that far. Yeah, this is seven things I need to do, which isn't each camp, but seven things to get five point. Uh, no, that's eight points. That's not that bad.

All right, so this is my neutral, and then this is to go here. This is not part of that. Yep. That zone, so I don't get it. Um, so these go away. But if I follow the line on my board, I get to pick a story card.

And I guess you pointed that one out. I should have taken it. before. Okay. So then

was that the one that came out when I chose?

No. Yes. No. I don't know. When I chose I don't know.

So [snorts] there's that turn.

Wow. Okay.

Now this for scoring purposes is a group which is great.

But it's only worth four.

It's only worth four.

And it will only be worth four even if you add more to that one.

Only four. But I have I have this zone.

Mhm. And then this is its own zone because it's cut off from everything else.

Okay.

Desert.

This is terrible. That isn't that isn't that great. That is one. Only one

so far.

I have to get over here.

I only have one. Well, that would be two if you go here.

No, I can't. That's That doesn't count.

That one does not count if you have a camp in there.

Why not? because it's a zone. It has to be a separate area.

How are you going to get three? You have to do all three of these tucking cards.

Let's see.

Okay, I need to choose cards. And I'm not excited about any of them. I don't need forest yet, but each one of those has desert, which would be good. So, I will take that.

And I'll take that.

I can do that. What do you think?

Hey, look at that fire. It's not bad.

It isn't.

Wow. Those are face up.

Why are they face up? There's a mix.

It looks like there's a lot that are face up.

You You do your

um Okay. When you say how far to go, where are you measuring from? Uh, are you talking about this? It's you go from here, each location from where you start and each location that you pass through.

Yes.

So, I'm going to for me to just go to the next space. It's going to cost me a Badlands card and a desert card. And then I go here.

Okay. And that lets me now draw a card.

You didn't have to do a bad lens card, you know, because you're here, too.

Oh,

you could have done it for

Yeah, but that's fine. It's It's equal. I just I

Okay. Well, I mean, you might have gotten rid of something you didn't want to.

I mean, I chose specifically to get rid of those things because I didn't want anything with the lower icons just for the sake of maybe being able to gain some of the things I need.

Okay.

Um, now I can pick one of these.

Yes, you triggered a story to choose. So, there's a lot of mountains back there, but that would be nine points if I can make that one happen. I don't think that's going to happen. H not doing this. Well, two of those. Two of those. And two of those. And I'm at none of those yet. Yeah. And there's only six more turns. Um, wow. Don't go too crazy. You know what? I'm going to just take this one on the outside. Chance that I can do that. This is terrible.

Yeah, these are rough. Well, we're not We haven't tucked any cards yet, but you're about to turn. That's all you get.

Okay. And then

and we haven't run through each other. I haven't handed you a card, which would increase your hand a lot. wouldn't mind us getting close, but it's right now I don't need it

now.

I will need it for I did not get a three bad lands. You have a three bad lands,

but you don't want to spend too many points for cards because then you have no cards. You run out of cards, right?

Mhm.

You're only ever going to have two. I mean, well, you can have more than four. But if you spend four just to move three spaces

and you you just draw two, right? That's it. You get two from here and two if somebody passes through a space that you

two from here.

You just say yeah if that's right.

Yeah. Okay. Go ahead. Your turn.

When you finish a dream, you get to choose one from the top. So or why do I keep calling dream story?

Mhm.

All right. I had a plan.

Mhm.

That means I have to do that. Okay, I will take these two.

Okay.

One, two.

Again with that. It's not working. Nothing's working. Lincoln,

I'm sorry. That's going to give up that one and I don't want to.

It's kind of You got to kind of pay attention to see what you're getting.

Well, I wanted to leap over something. Okay, that's what I really wanted to do. I guess I'm going to do this. So,

you either draw two cards or place a camp on your turn. You can't do both. Did you see that, Nikip?

What?

Yeah.

No. Well, Zako's been playing it online.

All right, great. And I messed the hole into

Maybe we should start again.

We should start again. Take two cards or place camp.

Yep. Okie dokie. That's good. We at least know

those.

We could re sort of almost do it, but that seems right. It seems like you can build up things.

Why am I pulling those off?

And then have the stuff to do things. Or this stays here.

Plan it online. That really tells you whether you got it.

But yeah, that's good. That seems to me better. You have more.

Do you want that card or not?

No, I I don't mind getting new cards. It doesn't matter.

Start again. Sorry. That's a major thing to

Thank you. I'm glad you were here. I don't know how you missed that, but [snorts] Nikki kind of only had a little bit of time to review it today, but I am constantly reminded that I am not an expert uh game teacher.

I think you do really well.

Do you have that in your notes? Did you just forget it?

I forgot it.

But I mean

because I got so dug into understanding.

But I mean, was it written down in your notes? Because you mean to make a note.

At the start of a turn, draw two cards. And then I say place a camp,

right?

And it's or

it's already 643. Good gosh.

All right. Here you go. You get two to start. I get two to start.

You need to cut off the whole entire first part of this.

Yeah.

Live stream.

It's just helpful.

Okay. We can edit out that piece, but I don't know that I want to do that. I mean, um, the, uh, we had to edit out the discussion that Dererick and I had the other day to get me started on the stream because of the

audio problems.

Okay,

there you go.

You get to choose a story.

Yep. Let's see what I can I'm going to pick something that's easier. That one looks like

Maybe some easy ones will come up. We didn't have very easy ones. Hey, I like that one. That looks easy enough.

I'll take it.

Mountains and

boom,

mountains and

all right

pigment.

Now I can either draw to or m place a camp.

I like it much better. I don't I don't like having going to like nothing. So you don't even have to go stack your hand. Yes. I don't there must be like

that would make the that's why we were like the game's going too fast. How do you even do that? So there you go.

I was like you run out of cards very quickly.

Two adjacent.

Yeah. I'm going to just draw cards.

I want a burner. But then that means I have to either take this one or this one.

Why is that? Oh, they're adjacent.

Wow. I I don't know that I was doing that

cuz I was like I want this and this. I was watching you happened to be doing it.

Okay, good. My brain wasn't and I remember that like knowing that. So I'm disappointed in myself that I forgot.

Uh one

adjacent makes sense.

A two. Your turn.

Mhm. I want these two, I guess. Oh yeah. And these are not adjacent on the ends, right?

No. And they didn't even say wrapping or anything like that. So, let's see. Where would I go if I went somewhere right now?

I'm drawing cards.

That would get me.

Nikki did read the rules, so she I mean, it's fine.

I'm sorry.

No, no. There's no reason to apologize.

It's fine. You don't want those two cards. Yeah.

Well, because I want one of them, but I don't want what's adjacent to them,

right?

Okay. Already thinking harder that now. Um

Well, it's better in that regard. Like taking these. Unfortunately, they're not next to each other, but

I I

that's why I took the ones I took. I want those. I want I want two of the same thing.

I'm going to do that.

I mean, not two different things to choose from.

Oh, come on. That's there's the other reason why you want them to come out in order.

Yeah.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Chili bean. Okay. So, these are worth the goji. The fruit are worth two. The berries are worth two. And the fire are worth two.

Fire is one.

Oh, one.

Berry's two.

Ooh. So, then that's not a bad thing taking that berry card. And then this is showing that it's four points

for the adjacency at the end of the game.

I'm just saying that's a very good card there.

It is a very good card. I had some of those that first time we started out. I didn't like spending them for

Okay.

stuff. Can I get somewhere yet?

Of course. I mean, you got six cards. You should be able to

Yeah, but look, there's

I know.

I'm taking them. Yeah, there is no limit. So, this is very ticket to ride in that regard. I can see how people are

turn those the right way

talking about it.

You can do it the right way.

You can do the right play the game the right way.

You do it the right way or like the wrong way or like I prefer to play the right way.

The right way.

Injured himself while proving him injured.

Injured while proving himself wrong.

Injured while proving himself wrong.

That movie That's great.

Okay.

So dumb, but I love it.

Wow. I think I need to do the same.

It hurts me so.

It hurts me. So everybody's like, what are they talking about?

I know. I know. One, two.

So yeah, it may not as matter as much for these adjacency wise, but that's the reason for this.

Yeah. Let's see here. I got places to go,

people to see.

I I I I am now going to do this and this.

Mhm.

It's just going to slide it to go right here.

Yep. Nice. You played it correctly. Hooray.

Hooray. Make them laugh. Make them laugh. Play a card just to make them laugh.

D I was calling I think those are mountains. I was calling them sharks teeth in my head. They're mountains.

They're mountains. Yeah, they do look like sharks teeth, but that is not what they are.

Okay, I will I want to go to the same place I went the last time. Um, do I need this desert? I feel I need that desert in case I need it for the next round. So, I need this to leave potentially and I need

We are leaving.

This is good too though. Someone got it.

Yay. Rocket Man. We love that movie. We are Nikki. One time she was planting flowers and I'm watching it for the first time by myself and just laughing and laughing.

Yeah. I was like, what are you even do? What are you doing in there?

Okay, I'm gonna do those two. One gets me out and then the other one gets me into that. And I'm gonna place there. Sweet.

And I am done.

Okay.

I'm done.

I'm done. I am going.

It's interesting. So, the double water, the water plus the other thing seems to have a symbol on it every time. Oh, no. Oh, yeah. Water.

Okay. Okay, I'm in that zone. So, I get a berry.

That sounds pretty Oh, I didn't get a berry, by the way.

Oh, yeah. I'm sorry.

That's okay. It's my my problem. I should go here.

I get to choose another story.

Wasn't me. Oh boy. Um man. Well, maybe I kind of stick with mountains, right? to make something [snorts] I've already placed work better. So, I'll do this one. And that's my turn.

Do you hear me say h to that?

Make them laugh. I don't need desert yet. So, where do I go? It's one, two, three, four. To go that far. Um, do I want to go that far? I feel like I do. So, if I do that, do I have enough cards to even make that work? Um, probably not. Except I want to pick a thingy. Um, when does the game end? When somebody finishes placing their last

Yeah. And then you finish out the round,

right? I got to keep up with you pacing wise, I think, too.

Well,

tempo-wise.

I guess you kind of got to, you know,

make them laugh. Am I gonna draw cards or am I gonna

It seems like whenever there's a water

Yeah.

on the card, it has a symbol.

So far,

everyone that I have has a symbol on it.

Um, so you were saying if I were to place another one, which I don't really want to because I can't. It doesn't count. It only counts as a mountain for the one that I'm in.

I need to place one here if I want to.

Um,

right. Then you'd have two mountain uh mountain symbols for this.

Right.

If you place another one here, you're not going to get another mountain, but you can take the berry

goji berry or whatever it is.

I don't know. It just says berry.

I know. I mean, some of it you want to be able to skip so you can do that whole counting for the end points for zones, too,

because it's four points per group

because this is a zone.

Well, zones are for this,

okay?

And groups are for the points,

the number of buildings.

So, this counts as a group.

That's a group. two or more.

Okay, I see. I see. So, got to leave needs to be the thing. Kind of don't want to do that. I think I need to leave from a wild to make that work. So, I'm going to do that.

Is that right? And then I have to pay I have to pay one of these to go into this. Where are you going from?

I want to go here.

So, you can leave from this one. Then it's you pay anything cuz it's the neutral,

which would be this.

And then you could do desert. Desert.

I know, but I don't have those.

Okay.

I'm going to do this.

Or not desert.

Bad lands.

Bad land. Bad land.

This is desert.

Okay.

And then this is badland.

Bad lands. So, you're going this way.

Super damn. No berries. But now you are adjacent to that symbol. So just

I don't even need that yet. Actually, I'm wondering, let me think for a moment. I may not be done. Um, I may be going here. Here. I can't go here. I don't have the card. But I could go here.

Do I need that? I do need those

pigment.

But I also need to be here. So, you know what? I'm just going to do what I did.

If you need both, you need both.

No, it just means I'll probably go there next if I if I want to. If I can. Okay. So, I'm done. Now you follow you get a story.

Science fiction story. I

those are discarded.

Yeah, I know. I'm just looking at what I have and need to do. Um, so if you do this, does this count as both a a berry and the end of the game and you have the mountain as a zone.

Yeah, you want to

type

Yes, man. You definitely want

very strong.

Okay, I want

I think I want this one, right? Cuz I'm going to have three

if you're already in mountains and stuff

or the bad lands. I'm not in mountains right yet.

Bad lands.

Okay, your turn.

Bad. Bad. I mean bad

Rocket Man. Good Disney movie. Not the other Rocket Man. I've never seen The Other Rocket Man. Did you see Other Rocket Man?

What's the other Rocket Man?

Yes, I did. On the plane on a plane ride. I liked it. But it kind of goes the same way that all rock and roll stories go. So,

yeah.

Like, okay.

But the costumes were great.

Yeah, I'm sure.

I mean, that was some awesome stuff. Okay. And I don't know that others agree that that's a good Disney movie, but we enjoy it.

Yeah, we're again, we're the weirdos that like the stuff nobody else

likes.

Overbeck. Wild Bill Overbeck. I

Overbeck. Yes.

Dinosaurs. Um, okay.

I'm going to draw cards.

I knew what I was going to do. That's

I don't know that you need that. Although you get into the Badlands right away if you need it.

Oh, that's pretty good, too.

Um, the thing is is I I I need um

that uh

No, I don't that was

I don't have an artifact need either yet.

I have that and I need more mountains, but I need a different zone. So, I have to get over there or all the way over there. No, just get these and put them down below.

Yes. Or that.

And the next thing I do is is going to be a tuck. So, I probably should do that.

Or collect cards.

Well, let's do these two because that gives me a choice.

I like it. I wanted those. I was kind of hoping you would I pointed them out, but I was also kind of regretting it. Okay, cannot do that. So, I must draw cards. I need mountains, though. I'm going to get some. I could get two from uh just placement. Uh

And we can't if it wasn't clear, we can't share.

You You said we couldn't. You know what? I am not going to draw cards, which stinks. Stink away. Sneaky pee.

Yeah. Are we having Are we coming down to a

um Well,

testing something.

No, no, I'm over here, I think.

Okay.

Uh or maybe not. The reason is is I want to get one of these and place one of these and then I would have two mountains, right? and an artifact if I need it, but I don't need any artifacts yet. Um, did you hear me say

so I hate spending the forest because then it means I will not be using any forest cards because you also have to notice that they're on the same side. Like this one's not great. I mean, it's water and fire which isn't a bad thing,

but I kind of want

smoke on the water. Okay. Um, you know what? I don't have to fight for the things that I'm going to go from behind. So, I will take these two.

Exactly. That was my thought.

I'm not I'm not even considering fighting. We can pass through and pay. You're You haven't filled this place up.

And there's no reason to,

but I'm definitely taking cards because it's I just need Oh, wow. Look at that.

Look at it. Stink a whiff.

This one's great though because it's water and a fire. Like I have zero water and there's two of them here that have water. This one's a great finish.

That's what I'm talking about. This or that? This or that. Okay. If I go there to there or I draw more cards. I see some good cards.

[clears throat] That would be that and it wouldn't I wouldn't be able to use those.

I don't want to point anything out this time. Don't

only because I want it, not because I don't want to help you.

Kids K-pop song. What was this? Who was the Oh, cat's eye.

Yeah, that was not great.

Nope.

We have not watched the latest SN,

but we're not into that kind of music at all.

I have I don't think that the music's necessarily that bad. It was just that they weren't singing

and that's fine, too. I understand. But it like destroyed Ashley Simpson's career by her not singing.

But now it doesn't matter. As is usual the way things

Well, everybody's defending them like, "Oh, well, you know, they're they're talented." I mean, I don't doubt it. I don't know them, but

is it similar to second edition? What's different about second edition is um Arkham is amazing. Uh the maps are different. Like it's a modular board. Um, I mean it's different. They're different games. I prefer the original one, but I like the modularity of the old board, but the new game is not going to have the modular boards. I mean, the remastered is not going to have the modular boards. I'm just confused by why they're doing it. But clearly enough people were like, "Hey man, we really like second edition." And they decided to go for it.

Why am I worrying about that?

I don't know what you're worrying about, MP. But I [snorts] am gonna go to Paris, France, and I have enough cards to do it. So, I'm going to spend that. I'm going to spend that to go here.

I'm sorry.

I knew I should have taken it. I was going to move that.

I did not know you need to go. I did not.

Yes. Well, dude, it's two waters and a pigment.

I don't need I do need the pigment. I have two pigment now. Well, I had my eye on this card because I'm like, "Oh, if I move there, this card is is good."

And then that lets me tuck, which I'm going to tuck this so that I have another forest. I mean, another mountain range or shark tooth as you might want to call it. And it is your turn, Nick P.

Oh, that's sad. Well,

kind of wish he was lip-syncing. A

I heard he had

surgery or something like that. I I think I saw that on Reddit that people were saying he was okay recently, so there was I don't know if that's true. It might I might be confusing it with someone else, which is too bad. We went to go see Well, Nikki didn't go. I went to go see Iron Maiden. I'm not a They're fine. I don't know them that well. I know I know the hits essentially. Um saw Iron Maiden, Mega Death, and Anthrax. Didn't really see Anthrax because we were going into the stadium. Um, but it was a good show. And Anthrax, he didn't sound great because he had throat surgery, like throat cancer or something like that. Oh, I wanted that one.

I'm going to tuck something, but I'm trying to figure out what. I wish I had something with pigment on it, but I don't. Oh, boy. Fire is only one.

Fire bad, Nikki P.

Do I have anything with a berry on it? No. M.

What do you need a berry for?

They're just two points. It's better than what I got in my hand right now.

Those don't count as anything. That just counts as a terrain like these icons that you need here or here. See, now that's not bad.

It's so So I It's I don't have

Look, that's worth nine points.

I don't have a story card.

Oh, no. I'm sorry. This is worth seven points. This is where I'm messing things up.

Yeah,

this is worth seven points,

right? I don't have Neither one of these have fire on them. So, I'm only if I finish them getting those points.

Sure.

You're getting five plus two.

Yeah. And four.

And four.

Okay.

But I have two berries. So,

well, sadly, I have to take the ones that are I could do these next to each other. I'll do these two because I might leave Wait, if I leave the mountains, I need a mountain and there are none there anyway. So, ug did you hear me say that?

Oh, these are used.

These are identical.

They are identical.

Oh, but I will complete this one if I do that here. I don't have mountains either. I think I need the variety. No, I need these because I Well, no, I may not leave that.

Okay,

I'm going to take those. Am I taking something you wanted? No, I'm thinking I just saw something I would like to try to do, but I don't know if it's going to happen. A whole entire water. I hadn't seen that. Didn't know if they exist.

Well, it like this, right?

I just thought maybe it was one that didn't exist. Okay, I have a plan and I can't execute it now. So, we'll see if it works later.

We're taking these two.

Okay. Well, I'm hoping something good comes out of there because I need Hey, there's one I could use. That one is one I could use. Okay. So, if I'm gonna try to go stay I'm not gonna leave the cave.

I'm not gonna leave the cave.

I'm going to take these two. Uh, is that right? Do I need crystals? Not yet. I would like to have I would like to need them. Ah, that would be a better one. Dang it.

Okay, this is going to make me have to do a story.

Science fiction story.

I am. No. Yes. This, this, and this one in the middle. Right. So, I'm leaving here

to go to this one.

To go to that one. Then, Right. Okay. So, I pay this one. I give you this one cuz I'm hopping through your territory.

These go to the discard.

You didn't have a water

and

to bypass me.

Uh, no.

Okay.

And um

boy, I hope I don't need that desert.

This I do have the maybe Oh, let's do this one because I think I've got I have one there already. I have No, I don't have a crystal here,

but I have a crystal. I have two crystals. So, this one seems maybe like

seven points. Yeah, that's fantastic. And you got three of those already. Well, I mean, I'll get one, too.

Maybe.

Um, don't say maybe. Okay. Gosh. Um,

it also breaks this up because right now this is one group. So, whoopdedoo.

Whoopitydoo. Whoopity.

Yeah.

Uh, I might give you the same card back. Oh, no. You gave me that one. Um, so if I do that, it's I don't need crystals, though. I'm not on the crystal game yet. I could be, though. There's only one of them out here, and I have zero desert, so that's not one I really want. O, none of those are ones I want. Maybe this one. Oh, I already have two water, right? Does that count? Yes. This is two water.

And this is a water, right?

And that's a water. And they're all separate. So you've got three waters right now. And

that's only worth four points. But

and and two flames.

Is Is that what you need to do that?

No. No. No.

Okay.

This is additional flame.

But that's worth four points

total. This is total points. Yes.

Your cards are all worth more than those for me than me. But you're already you just need two more bad lands and you already completed that one.

Oh, there you go.

You need one more bad land and that one is done,

right? These will both be done, right? Uh, no, not yet. This is I only have one mountain range right now so far. Uh, no, two. I have two. I have that one and that one. Okie dokie. I don't need desert, though. This is terrible. You're only going to take one more of these. Can we ever take from the top? I guess it's bad idea. I don't like taking Go watch Market Fresh. You'll know I don't like to take uh

I don't think there was any um any I don't think you could. I'm te I'm checking. You take your turn then.

Yep. I'm figuring it out here, Cutie. Um H I guess I don't need the crystals. So, I'm going to spend this card to leave. O, what do I want, though? I need double mountains to do that.

Yeah, I got to draw cards. Okay, so I'm taking these two cards. This is terrible. Like actually, let me look and see if there's another way I can go. I go mountain. No, I need mountain. I need mountains. I need to take those. Okay. Or can I I could leave that.

As far as I could tell, once you've chosen a story, that is that is it. There's no changing them out.

Okay. So, here's what I'm going to do.

Because you place the story when you have

Yeah.

When you trigger

I didn't think there's any changing stories.

No, there's a question.

Okay.

I see it is a permit. So, I can actually do this. I'm gonna go

what?

To leave. Bye. I'm gonna

Oh, so you didn't draw cards? No. Okay.

Then I'm gonna go, "Hey, desert." That goes to Nikki P. And then I'm going to do that to get into this spot.

Okay.

And here's the desert for you. [snorts]

Okay.

And I go here.

Yep.

I get the goji berry. You get the berry.

I dislike you.

I'm sorry. And that is three mountains and two of these.

So this and this and one, two, three. Correct. To do this.

The Yeah. One, two.

Oh, wait. No, it's not mountains. I'm doing this wrong.

Okay. That's what I was like,

I'm doing it wrong.

Bad lands.

I'm doing mountains like together at the same time, but I'm not there. Okay. Okay. So, I'm not there. You got the one thing.

Wait, where aren't you? No, no, it's three of them.

I still need Yeah, I need three of those.

You're so close, though.

I am.

It's crazy.

And it is your Oh, and I I don't get a card yet. That was what I was hoping for.

You get another dream.

Oh, yeah. I get another story.

A dream within a dream. Okay, I'll just do that one. It's not going to be worth much, but I'll take it. I mean, we have to finish these. You may not even finish some of these.

I don't think I'm gonna This is harder than I thought it was going to be. Uh, [sighs] I need to finish something. Yeah, that I don't care. I don't know me. I mean, I know stuff from 30 something years ago. And I like that Countdown to Extinction, but I actually don't The regular song's fine, but I really like the Trent Resner mix of it from back in the day, 32 years ago or something like that. Okay.

Maybe be older than that. I don't know.

I am not sure about hopping over this if I just give you a random card or not. And I didn't come across that in the rules.

Right.

So, I am going to play a desert and this as the random and then this to get over to there. So, this turns into your card.

Okay.

This goes here. Then I tuck something. I need okay one two if I tuck this one it's gets me three that's what I will do so now I have three mountains but I don't have what I need

the other things like what I'm dealing with

it is what I am dealing with Nikki P. Okay, I'm kind of excited now because

Wait, wait, wait. I do. I'm so sorry. I have two pigments. One, two.

Oh, yeah. Done.

And one, two, three mountains. So, this one's finished. So, I draw one from the top.

Okay. It is now my turn. I believe I will place this but I don't know where I want I want to do it someplace um where I will gain

that one was done too

I want to make it a different grouping I guess I could do this right no I can't I have to have a mountain I can't do it so this is terrible um is there any other way I can make that happen. No. Oh, I guess I could. I could always just place it. I can't leave the mountains, though. That is my problem. Okay. So, I'm going to take these two. Unfortunately, there's not enough mountain cards in this game right now. And it is your turn.

Okay.

Did you hear me that this one was done, too?

Okay.

I had the two deserts.

Yep. I'm glad that you gave me a green tree one that doesn't help me at all. That's smart.

It's I didn't do that on purpose.

No, but it is what you need to do. Wow. Okay. One, two. I don't have that one. And I can't You can't place a settlement there. So, I will not get that. So, the only way I can finish this one is if I tuck another card with that symbol on it.

So,

Oh, yeah. You can't place on the water.

Nope.

Boo.

Well, there's cards.

I know. I am definitely drawing cards. I'm just trying to decide what I'm going to um draw. I guess anything with that symbol on it. And then we'll see what happens. One, two.

Uggh.

Oo.

Yeah, I don't like it. No, I don't want to do that. The problem is is once again I have to spend a mountain to get to the mountain. I have to spend two mountains to get to a mountain and no mountains.

Do you have a mountain? No.

Uh to tuck that you could tuck.

No. I have one mountain card and we're getting none of them. I can't I kind of can't leave.

I'm just saying if you right now if you place an encampment anywhere

I understand

you can tuck that one.

Yeah, I guess so. And that's probably the what I'm going to have to do.

I don't like it. Oh, but if I go here, I need two cards to do that. I don't have that either, so I can't do that. Um, but maybe I can come from another direction.

Um, sure. But I want to I want to group another group. I can go. No, I have to have two. Um, I have to have two Badlands.

That won't count as a different bad land because it's part of one.

I get that. I'm just saying to place I mean I can I have cards that I can then place the badland and finish that. Um, that is what I'm going to do. I'm going to just do I'm going to spend this to leave.

I have three mountains, don't I? I have. Yeah, I have three. Okay. And then I'm going to do this to go here. which sucks.

You could go here too

on the green one.

No. To if you want.

How do I do that? That's three cards.

Okay. I don't

Right. You see what I'm saying?

I don't know what

this is. Is two cards. That's three uh three cards to get there. I'm just I don't have the things that you're talking about. I have to spend one of these to get out of there. And I kind of want to go through there and potentially land there so that I have another region there. Okay. I'm gonna get cards and maybe I'll get lucky and one of those will be in there.

Okay. I'm just trying to get you. You have two already. I'm trying to get you to be able to tuck one.

This is gonna happen right here. But I have to do this stuff to make that.

So, I'm going to do that to get out of the thingy. I don't remember where I was doing that.

Where are you? Here.

I'm doing it right here. That's right.

And then I'm going to do this. So, I can go here.

Okay. And then I'm going to go I get to place I get to tuck a card. Was I going to do this one?

You if you Well, now it doesn't matter because you've got a mountain. So you don't have to tuck a mountain.

This doesn't count as a mountain, Nikki P. That's what you told me. So there we go. I'm going to do that, which I was happy to get that mountain. And I now have to spend it to do this. But that is now three

of that. So I get this, this, and this. Right. All three of them are done because I have one, two, three water.

Yeah. Three water. One, two, three mountain.

Yep.

Um

and three bad lands. One, two, three.

And then one, two pigments.

Yep.

And the bad lands.

So, I get to draw three cards from here. And hoping that I get what I need, which I won't because I now have no mountains. Oh, come on. Okay, your turn.

Yeah, there's a whole like level of playing to give yourself additional groups.

Mhm. That Yeah. This doesn't count because it's one by itself. This doesn't count because it's one by itself. I just have four points and that's it.

You can do this here. You can do this here. But I mean, yes, it's hard.

But the big points are in

Yes.

the stories. So, I don't know.

I don't know. I mean, but this four Why did I try so hard? I could have had four.

It's four points. That's not bad. You You completed two things with that though by having those mountains.

That's true. Do I want to?

Hey, tabletop corner new subscriber. Wow. Just recently got on the horrified board games in Talisman fifth edition with two experiences. We love the horrified. We actually have it was over here. I tucked it away. Um we're going to try to play it here this month. We have the horrified Dungeons and Dragons. We've done most We've either done them on live streams or um episodes, but we've done most of the horrifies. We really like them. Derek really likes them. He would probably be very happy if we played horrified today instead of this. But I'm just dying to play this. We have to get rid of this. We have to send this game back to the BG library. I may try to pick one up. I do like this game. We're probably going to play it again this weekend

and then we're going to probably film it next week. I'm hoping.

Okay. Did you hear me say?

Yeah. I don't know if that was the best move in town.

Not sure.

There have so much forest and I can't see the trees. Um, what would be the LA? I'm going to get one of these when I place this. One of these. I mean, is there something that would be good? I have none of these symbols.

That's why I held off because I'm like, I'll just draw because I don't really want to choose one of those yet. I

have none of those symbols. Once again, it's crystals. I only I have zero desert. This is terrible.

I don't know.

There's so little desert. These two groups, you have to place them down here.

Yeah. Okay. Jeez. I was looking at the fires, but they all have crazy deserts on them. So, those are no good for you.

Yeah. You can only do one more. Oh, I'm Yeah, you you have at least two deserts, don't you? Yeah, cuz you're in two spots.

But the I was looking like, well, those have a lot of fire, but

you can't do any You can't finish them anyways because you don't have deserts.

No, the one that I'm most likely being would be able to do is something like this one.

Hello. Um, yeah.

Hey, Chris. You you're not in I mean I don't know what your cards but you're not in forests either.

Correct.

But you do have a talisman there and you have a talisman there which artifacts. Sorry.

So you already have those two.

You just have to do

Oh, I have one

one two. Oh wow. So you already have that. You just have to do the three forests.

Yeah. Um, well, if I leave

You have a bunch of water and you have two talismans or

Yeah. I mean, maybe I have one. I could get a symbol. I don't.

And that one will give you five because it has a fire on it.

I have to find a card that has that on it though. That's the problem, right? Like I might have spent one a long time ago. Unless this one has it. I do not have that. Um, so I'm just mapping out what I'm going to do here. Leave that. See, once again, play that then that to do Do I need that stuff? Oh, no. I'm trying to do I think I'm just going to do that. So, these two means I get to place here.

Where are you going from? Okay.

Is that right? Yeah, it's going to have to be. and I discard those. So, it's another camp, though. That's good. Camp group. Um, I'm not I really don't have all the scoring down figured out. Um, and then I now get to take one of these, which is uh kind of terrifying. And I need forests and I can only place two more.

Like I said, I think this one or this one would be good for you. You have two talismans and you already have the three waters, right? And it's worth five.

This is five also, but you don't have any forests,

right? Yeah, I don't have good ones. I'm I'm not scoring very many points, I think. I mean, I have two more points for the or four more points for the camp, but my separate camp, but you're going to get another camp. Um,

yeah, but I don't know if I'm going to work it.

That one's done.

This one is not finished.

It's Why isn't it?

Don't you have three?

I have to be able to place another I have to tuck another artifact because I don't have the artifacts on the board.

You have one.

One. I have one and then two.

Okay. Well, that's still pretty good. You probably have an artifact card. I do not. I have none. Um, yucks. Yucks. I maybe should have waited till you pulled one. Um, you're thinking that one. I mean, it's a lot of luck and it's the next thing I do. A lot of luck. Terrible. I hope I didn't spend one earlier. I probably did, though. Um,

if you think you can do the trees, then maybe that's better. I cannot.

Okay, so your cards are bad for artifacts and trees. Okay,

I have a crap ton of water, which I don't need. Uh, it was just I needed something adjacent to it every time. Um, so if I travel, I don't have the stuff to do that though. That's the problem. Uh, desert. No, I need four mountains. Yeah, I'm stuck. I can't go anywhere. Um because I don't have those. Those cards are not here. I have to choose one of these. I'll just do this one in the hopes. I should have waited on the thing and hope to get more cards because I have no mountains. I need mountains. Look for me to leave all of these positions. I need a mountain. There's no wilds involved in that.

I don't This part I don't like. I mean, it's like tickets, right?

I think Yeah, we we've got that one too

in my opinion.

Well, you need certain things and you can't get them. It's color of the you know the train cars. one.

All you got to do is just place and not let me get anything here and I lose the game because I can't

I have none of these. I mean, it's not hurting you, but it's I have none of those. I have I mean, I can place more of these things, but placing here doesn't help me. And I need two of these or I need one, right? Is that all I need?

You only need one.

Yeah. And there's only two on the board. So,

yeah. So, that's part of the problem with that.

I mean, you need to spend some cards to do that.

I'm doing it. I'm trying to figure out where to move to.

Sure. But I'm saying for you to like not let me get any of these. It's kind of a drag. You know, in Ticket to Ride, you can pay something to just clear the the array. And it sure would be nice to do that. I don't remember what it is. has been so long since we played Ticket to Ride. [sighs]

I can't do it. That's horrible. Oh, wait. Can I do that way? If I do it, that way it would be that and that. No, that and that. I think I have it. I'm gonna just show it because I don't know. Yeah. Uh, so it's a desert,

a water, and then bad lands, and that gets me to here.

Why would that matter? You can't just go desert to bad lands. You're right here.

You're right. Let me back up.

Yeah, then you get to place that card and then you have three. Well, I had one in my hand.

Yeah. So, you're not drawing.

It's working it to do it. Um,

I don't like this stuff. I don't like not being able to wipe that stuff. There's nothing I need in there.

Here.

I guess there is no way to do that. You're not answering that.

There isn't to there. I take this And I have to choose one of these which I won't finish most likely.

This one could be

I think I'm doing that one. That was what I was deciding between this one and this one. So, there's that. Terrible. Um, well, I'll take these since it means I can at least place a building. Yeah, not being able to wipe that is bad news. Bad news.

I know this one.

Mhm. Of course, the other thing I need to get out of an area. Oh, that. But I need that. I need to place something to do that. I'm going to have to do another like terrible placement thingy.

Is there any way I can do any of this? I have to go through mountains to do everything. I can go desert, but I got to go through mountain. This is bad. But I want that. Of course, I have to take that. And these are identical. So, more crap. More miserable crap. Your turn.

I don't like it. That's not good. Okay. I play those two. Do that. and then tuck my talisman. So now I have this one finished and I draw that.

Okay, I have a lot of cards. I should be able to almost go wherever I want. If I do, do I have two deserts? I do. I could do that. No, I'm not there. I have to pay you to do that.

Yeah. The leaving part is the real pain. I'm in too many forests, too many mountains. If I do that, I need to place this. So, I cannot do that. I have to do that or I will not finish that one. Um, I really don't want to do that though. So, if I spend I can do a lot of that. Um that I don't want to do another one in the same thing. I could do that. Have to spend to get out. Spend to get in.

Spend to get out. Spend to get to you. And spend to do that. So, I think I'll do that. It sucks, but it will work. Okay.

Okay.

One to get out of there. One to get to give to you. Um, you're not going to be able to get that berry, so I might as well give you that one.

Are you going this way?

No. Here.

Okay.

Here. Here.

Why don't you just go here? Here.

I don't have mountains.

Got it.

I keep needing mountains. Okay. So, I gave you that card and then I give you this desert to get in there. If I don't have mountains, I can't do those things. And I have all mountains at the beginning.

I have a mountain right there.

That doesn't count to go through to leave this

Mickey P. I need a card to leave.

You're right.

So then I'm going to place I have one, but the problem is I need to do this

cuz it's going to be this to do this. I get this.

Yep.

I mean, I'm not doing terribly, don't get me wrong, but I cannot I need mountains. Okay.

And not being able to wipe the board is not good.

So, and there's a reason why they do that. I get it. Um,

you have three talismans.

I do. And that one's done.

Yes, you finished.

We'll get that and hope that it's something helpful. Nope. And it I mean, I can always do these other things now. It's your turn. Only one more thing to build. And I think I have enough cards to make that happen regardless. Yeah, that's terrible. I needed that. And I needed that in two ways because there's none of those out there and there's no more. I can't get. It's terrible that they don't count on both sides of it. You know what I'm saying? Catch getting the talisman.

Or or you know, whatever those artifacts and the um I called it a talisman. Is that what it is? It's an artifact.

No, it's an artifact. I keep guess I keep calling it a talisman. I'm moving. I'm moving from here.

I'm giving you a mountain.

Hey, a mountain.

And then I'm going to here.

Yeah. And now I've triggered the end of the game.

Mhm.

But I still don't have enough forest.

Yeah, you did. You have two.

One, two, and a desert. And it Okay, so that's done also.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I'm not get I don't get the cards I need. I mean, I don't need to place on a mountain, but I do need to get out of it. And I have one since you had to give it to me. Um, so I'll spend that. I don't Does it even matter? It just gives us a point, right?

Yeah.

I don't even understand.

But it what could happen is you I don't see the situation. But it might turn something that wasn't going to score four points into something that will score four points. Not in this case, but what I'm saying is

super good.

Okay.

Or if there was a berry still left on the board somewhere that you could just take,

right? Um well, I'll spend that to get out. I'll spend that to go in there. And I will spend that to go down here, which I don't care about. But do I want to go to the next one? And it doesn't make any difference. I don't need those. So, it doesn't matter where I go. Done.

Okay. So, then we score. So, if you didn't have if you didn't finish any stories, you just take it off your board because you don't

I don't know.

You don't um score them.

Let's go there. I think I had a fistful of cards.

Lincoln. Nothing in Nothing in here counts.

Okay. Good. Done. Okay. So, we score. Okay. We score these just the the

points. Yeah.

Points. So, Lincoln, you have how many?

15.

Lincoln has 15.

Is that right? I don't even know. That's six. 10 15. Yeah. To your 18.

18. Then all of the fires that you have, they're one point each.

Mhm. Five points. Six points.

Do you have any fires down there? You have that fire.

Can I count them? I know how to count. Six.

Six fire. And then I have

four.

Five.

Five fire.

Mhm. So, you're going to get the bonus of four because you have more fire than me.

Do they put that in there in the same thing in the box?

It's right here.

I know, but is it is there like a bonus thing?

Oh, there is a bonus area.

Yep. I'm going to do it right now though. Four for that. Then then we count

count the the groups whatever the the camp

camp groups. So you've got eight

years.

You've got um

four two three I have six.

I mean

eight.

Okay. Six. 3 * 4 is 12, right?

You're count you're saying eight, but it's

it's four. Four.

One, two, three. Right here. Three.

Right.

Three * 4 12. Yep. And it's the same for you, right? One, two, three. Yep.

12. Then you count your berries. And your berries are two. So 2, four, six,

eight.

Eight. And I have six,

right?

And I don't have any bonus

bonuses. It's pretty simple. I think we may even tie. I don't know.

Giving it to you.

Okay. 21 33 41 45. And then you have 2 23 23 35. Oh, 41. Boo. Okay. Well, there you go. 45 and 41. But

yes, it having more fire than me pushed you.

Only a point. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's a fivepoint gain. I'd forgot about that.

Yeah. So, there's It's Lincoln's 45 and I'm 41.

Okay. Interesting. Hard.

Yeah.

I'm kind of bummed. I There's a reason why they don't let you wipe these and I'm sure that's tension, but like

that is rough. Uh, and I basically had I didn't draw a ton of cards. And you gave me one. If you hadn't given me that one, I couldn't have I probably could have placed here, but it wouldn't have made any difference. I would have I really kind of was bummed. I wasted this movement.

Mhm.

Because I didn't want to do this. I didn't want to do this or this, but I think I had to do two of these things to just do other things.

Yeah. I don't know. I just started getting these because I just I figured that was I didn't think I would finish all of these. I really didn't.

Well, this was great.

Yeah.

When you weren't seeing it cuz it's worth five.

Yeah.

In the end,

right? I I I keep them separate because the score sheet has them separate, but you should be looking at it as a total.

I mean, that's how it was totaling them. I wasn't I wasn't thinking in the grand total of how many fire you have,

but uh yeah, that's interesting. Yeah. And it's easy to forget even though it's right there on the board to fire right there.

And then I had to fire here.

Four. Five. Yeah, you only have five.

What if we had a tie?

I did look that up and forgot what it was.

Thanks, Jon Snow.

It is the most

How was the What is the wall called that where Jon Snow's at? The Northern Wall.

Man, now you're I forgot.

Come on. You're the

I know. I am the Game of Thrones.

I've only ever seen like two or three episodes.

I know. And you know the sound the music

well the theme you're talking

the theme music um ties I there was a tie

I'm getting Lost City Horrified Ravenlaw Flip Seven Vengeance and Digging the Dino. What's digging the dino? It is just the wall. Thanks Jon Snow. I'm sure you know.

Yeah,

the wall. I think that's Pink Floyd, isn't it?

Ah, the North

the Mo Oh, see they do count. the most terrain cards remaining in their hand.

Ah, what was that?

Would have been the tiebreaker.

Oh, okay. How many do you have?

Three.

Oh, I had four.

You had a bunch.

No, I had at least four, but

interesting.

Three. So, now that I know that, I don't remember if I drew my last card when I did that, but you definitely want to do that. If there's a tie, you want to have that extra card to make a difference.

I think this was made a difference because I Well, it didn't it didn't give me what I needed, I don't think. But um yeah, this is terrible. What do we got here? I want to see these.

Two of them left.

Oh, there's one mountain.

Wow.

One mountain. No more of these.

I guess it depends on the

Did I had three, correct? I don't want to be cheating. I did have three. So, that was good here, right, Nikki P?

Yeah.

Not going here.

Yeah.

Would have meant I wouldn't have had this

and I had this because I was trying to make another group. Mhm.

And I had decided to just hop over here because I had the cards and that gave me another four points. It may gave me another group. So

yeah, I wonder about passing through this. I don't know. Must have something in there.

Unless it's a wild for me.

Two is what? I just gave you something for my hand.

Right. It was nothing that I uh there should be like some there's got to be when they have an example passing through

that's end of game

the north. So there's other um so this is the basic way of scoring which we did but then there's other ways of scoring and I can't honestly tell you what they all mean but there are different ways to play the oh there were fish tokens we didn't use and there are volcano tokens and there's something with there's something with fish

that goes on And then this one's the volcano one. And there's

So any movement is literally just to place a camp.

Yeah.

Okay.

And then there's this this storm one. So there's different ways to play, but we just did the basic.

It is you. It's correct here. If you cross another player's starting camp, you must give one card of your choice to to your opponent.

100%. But that makes sense.

So there's little

interesting. I believe this is the guy that did um Got Five which we just did

ah

on the show.

Oh, this I don't There's another T thing here

which is interesting. This is a different kind of game. His other games have been kind of um production. Yep. Johan Levit.

Let me move these. So,

very interesting.

There's the volcano tiles that go with the volcano scenario and there's a water. So, there's some water tiles that get placed on these. I don't know how you do them, but

what this is doing, but I don't like it.

Volcanoes, volcanoes, water, volcanoes, water.

That's cool. There's a pizza place called Weird Does

Weird Does

Looks pretty good.

Okay. Was it near us?

No, it's Burbank. We're going to If we're going to Burbank, we're going to Dino. So,

that's true.

Uh, but maybe one of these days we'll try it.

Additional scenarios. Digging the dino is a is a tiles you build dinosaur. Whoever makes four dinosaurs is the winner. And you have two tiles. Have a direction. Grab grab different tiles of dinosaur body. You build the dinosaurs. It's fun. Cool. I have to check it out. I don't know that one. There's something else we I was talking about that I did not know. Um I have not seen. We have a So we have next week we have two uh sponsored streams. Um, on Tuesday we're doing a game called Tasting History, which is

based on something. I I don't Let me look that up.

Okay.

Um, like a show or something like that. Let me just type it in the Googles and see what they tell me. Um, I have not watched the video that we have. Uh, hey, Tasting History. Oh, that's Max Miller. Very interesting. So, he is a YouTuber and he has designed a game. So, he's going to be here on Tuesday morning at 10:30 with the publisher, one of the folks from the publisher. Very cool. I need to now watch some of his shows so I'll have some reference points. Um, I watch a lot of YouTube, but I'm I don't branch out enough. I do. Nikki knows I go down rabbit holes all the time.

Way more branching than me,

but um

I watch old movies on YouTube.

Yeah. So, that is Tuesday and they should be here. And the plan is we they're going to teach the game. We're going to watch the video. Um because we don't have we have the rules. We should I should be able to read the rules, but it's not finalized rules. So, it's going to be a little challenging. Oh, yeah.

Um and then uh I mean I read the emails. I don't know my issue.

I should know this. What do we think of Spooky Tower? I wish we owned it. We already shipped it back.

Yeah. [cough]

I think we played it on a live stream. Maybe.

Maybe.

But I love that game. I would like to own it. Um I don't need it, but I'd love to own it. And it's not a big box. That's another thing now in consideration. Tiny box size. Um

but um uh so we have that on Tuesday. And then we are doing

um

Spooktacular. We're doing a new expansion from Spooktacular. And that's just going to be

Nikki and Daryl and I probably there might be another guest which would be very exciting if if they can make it. Um, we will be filming with that person during the day. Um, and if he's not on I've said they all along. If they're not on the video, um,

just keep saying they,

uh, then if they're not on the live stream, you have to wait till the episodes come out.

Yeah.

Uh,

it is kind of like Rebirth Jon Snow a little tiny bit. Um,

I mean, you know, your tile draws in that game are challenging, too. 100% actually. Like in that regard, the challenge of like drawing the wrong things. I found this more challenging than I than I do Ticket to Ride.

Oh, yeah. It's not Ticket to Ride. I mean, you can at least you can't place in the same location, but you can at least pass through.

Yeah.

So, it's the same idea.

Tunnels.

Yeah. Yeah.

Or whatever.

But, um I mean, I love Ticket Drive. I just We don't play it as much anymore.

Oh, my headphones fell out. I

How is Send the image show? Oh, I'll check it out, Chris. Don't worry about it. I'll look it out on BG. So, Taste of Whatever's Tuesday,

Taste of History Tuesday. And then again, it's Spooktacular, which is a game that came out, I believe, two years ago, maybe one year ago. And this is the expansion. Now, we

Okay.

do not have the expansion yet. Uh, we are only going to be having two pieces of it because they're doing another one on Tuesday. They're doing a stream on Tuesday with somebody else or with them, I don't know. And then we're doing one on Thursday. So, that'll be next Thursday evening. And then those will be the last streams for a couple weeks.

Yeah.

Um, so it's three game nights in a row, which is cool because I've had to paint because Nikki's either been busy or wiped out or, you know, I mean, we've been

the heat has been really kicking our bottoms. Um, and although we've had about a week of reasonable, you know, not terrible, some warmish days, and we've had some other busy things going on. We spent all day, almost all day Saturday working on something else

doing uh the Marvel Marvel Crisis Protocol video kicked butt. Nikki did my Mar Marvel Crisis Protocol Alliances Night of the Goblin. So, she did a how to play on BG for that.

Um,

that was a butt kicker.

The uh it's it's it was just it was supposed to be shorter and then they wanted it shorter and then they're like, "Hey, can you add this?" and it added seven minutes and it was more complicated and the miracle is the that one miniature which I will not mention. Yes.

Uh but it was Oh, I'm gonna see

those miniatures were pretty cool in that game. So

yeah, it's I mean you know they make nice miniatures.

The goblin the main big boss goblin was really cool.

Um excuse me. Um but yeah, I'm eager to play spectacular. It looked good when the brothers Murf did it and then we sent it to the library immediately because although I don't know if it actually got in BGD. I think it was last year. I don't know if it actually got in the BGcon library in time for the con, which is a bummer because that would have been awesome. Um but anyway, so yeah, we've got the base game and we're going to try it out. So, it should be fun. I'm looking forward to it. We'll have to learn how to play it. Um is are you asking Chris if this game is hard? It's not. It's just challenging. Um, honestly, this game feels a bit frustrating. It is a little challenging, Edwin. I mean, not I mean, it's this What's the other game? There's another game recently where

harmonies the draw stacks.

Yeah, Harmonies is exactly it where you can't wipe the the array and not being able to wipe the array. Isn't did har is who did uh harmonies?

It's not Johan. Uh,

it's not Johanna Scoopy. Um,

I know who it is. Uh, my brain's not recalling it, but um, different designer, but yes, it has that. But Johanna Scoopy did Far Away. Yes. And that one's also challenging and hard as well.

That one's difficult um

to wrap your head around.

This is cool, though. I can totally

I like Far Away, though.

Yeah, I do too. Um, I think there's an expansion that I'd like to get. There's there's two actually. Yeah.

Yeah, that one's cool. But it's a brain twister, right? The whole unwinding like, okay, if I do this and then I got to do this and

it's a game you need to see played once and then when you play it yourself, you're like, okay, just remember everything's going to score backwards, you know.

Nice. That still knowledge does not help me in that game.

It is. It's still tricky. And you can still get you can still make some bad bets early in the game that don't come back and you know, don't

Oh my gosh. I think that's all you do in that game is make a lot of bad bets. You know what I mean? Like I think I won that game maybe on the video maybe.

And it was blind luck.

I think it was Rusty. Deborah, me and you played that one

because it's a drafting game. So it's like, you know, another player could always be competing for the same thing you're you're working on. And that's a problem, too. Um, I think I because I played the game like three or four times and I think I found that like the hidden

cards you can get like where you have the hidden scoring thing you can acquire. I forget what they're called. I'm drawing a blank on it. Those are like I think the it's like the shest form of points you can earn,

right? Yeah. It's it's weird. I mean, it's cool. But here's the deal. I think we played that two or three times and that's it. That's the other thing about like what we in an analyzing our library. I mean, I'm looking at a bunch of games

that will I even play them again, right?

Looking at them, right?

It's a it's the scary thought if you were to add up all of the the times listed on all the boxes of the games. Is it is it lesser or greater than the time left you have on this earth?

Yeah.

You know, I will tell you now,

greater. We don't way more than I will be around.

Uh it's terrible. It's a lot of games. And so basically when I was pulling games, I was just I'm like, "Okay, no, no." And I'm tossing him over my shoulder and I'm like, "Nikki, you got to you got to unberry."

Literally buried himself in game boxes cuz he was like, "No, no, no." And he's like, "Nikki, can you get these game boxes?"

You know, there was a few that both Nikki and I were like a little pained to remove, but she's like, "You are correct. We're not gonna play that again.

Wow.

Um,

yeah. There's a the big one for me right now. There's two that I'm like

so much better than us, Derek, about purging.

Oh, no. No. Oh, so what what helped me? What helped me? And I don't recommend this, but this is what gave me the No,

my kids dumped out a bunch of games and I was like, how much of this do I really want to clean up?

Oh my gosh.

Wow. It's like It's like some of it's like, "Okay, it just goes in the recycling bin."

Oh, wow.

Oh my god.

Yeah. We're not We don't sell any of this stuff. We We have stuff that we're going to send We've been sending to the BGG library and to the BG charity sale.

Um

the hard one for me because I love it. You mentioned it earlier is horrified cuz it's like we're now five titles deep in the horror.

There's only five. I thought we were six.

Well, the sixth one is released at Gen Con this year. Yeah, the sixth one came out at Gen Con this year. Um, and uh, but I I I don't own that one yet, and I'm on the fence about getting it because as much as I love horrified,

yeah,

I I love horrified,

but I personally I have been disappointed with the crossover ability that was kind of teased a couple Horrifides ago. Um,

it's not

Yeah. Well, like basically they kind of made it sound like you could like, hey, you could have monsters from other games, you know, terrorize the the board you're on, you know, so you could have like the Greek monsters attacking, you know, uh uh what is it? Balders's Gate in the D and D that you're in. I can't remember. Yeah, the first

I don't know what the first one is. This new one is Raven Loft.

Yeah, the new one's Raven Loft. Yeah, the D that came out last year.

Yeah, I don't know.

Yeah. or it might have been uh it might have been what it's a known D and D town that I I'm sorry but I don't know. Yeah. Yeah, it is a named location D and D. So, the whole point is you could like have the monsters go over on other boards or use heroes from other expansions and stuff. Um and uh it it's not as fluid to to do that as it as it sounds like in practice because as a guy that likes to mesh up games all the time,

um it it doesn't work as well as you would think it would. Um, so, uh, so as much as I love horrified, I'm just kind of like I don't know if I want to keep like making space on my shelves for all of them. Like,

well, we will probably play it

Christmas Halloween the Halloween the 29th, I imagine.

Okay.

Um, that is the plan. I was hoping that you had already played it because I know that you're a huge fan.

I have played it. I played it at Gen Con. Yeah, I played at Gen Con.

So, you have some knowledge of it. So, we're gonna try to be prepared for that. It's we we leave in a a little over a week and we come back and we literally have two days before that stream. Plus, Derek will be editing two gigantic episodes. He's already working on one and he has another one. Um, it's going to be crazy. It's very hard. Um, but we will do that one for essentially uh Halloween. I don't think we're actually do a stream on Halloween. I think Halloween is on Saturday. Um, and I don't know, Derek might be doing some with with his kids. So, um, but yeah, I just need to know. I just need to know.

Yeah, of course. Um, so yeah, that's the plan. Uh, and, um, hopefully you guys can join us again next week. It should be fun. I'm actually intrigued by the tasting history.

I want to know what that means.

I know. I'm I need to watch the videos and I might know more about them.

Um, I'm curious.

Uh, I don't know. I mean, we we know this guy from another game video that we did. Uh, not the designer, but the publisher guy. Um, and so I'm eager to see what that's all about. Um, and hopefully it'll be fun and I hope you guys can join us. And, uh, is there anybody we can raid?

Yeah. Uh, we're going to raid in Bonsater. She's got, uh,

uh, it's a sponsor. They're playing Wow Weaver Adventures. It looks like it's an upcoming uh

Okay.

Uh some sort of game set in the 18th century. So

Okay.

Um

Wow. Wowee. Wow.

Yeah.

Cool. Thanks for joining us everybody. Thanks for the chat.

If you're on Twitch, you can join in and raid bonds with us.

And uh have a great weekend and try to keep cool because it's going to get worse for us anyway.

Yeah.

And it sounds like it's kind of How's it going to be for you, Derek?

Oh, it's been cooling down a bit. We had a nice cool fall morning here. So nice kind. But you don't have any heat in the future.

Not yet.

It's going to fluctuate. It's that time of year where it's like it's like hot during the day but cool in the afternoon and or in the evening and Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah.

Getting the dinosaur. Chris, you take care. Bye everybody. Have a great one.

Bye. Heat.

Heat.
