Welcome and welcome back everybody. Tabletop Toki here and today we have our September unboxing um which is by and large sponsored by our sponsor Noble Knight Games. So we have a huge um box of games here from Noble Knight. Some of which I've already played um and absolutely love and some of which I am very excited to jump into um and try out. And we also have a special treat from um our friends over at Inatients Games, a little solo slash two-player cooperative um game. So, we'll get started with that. Um and then I think we'll jump into the bigger
um box here. Let me turn my volume down so that we don't have craziness happening in stream. All right, we should be good to go now. Um so hopefully everybody's having a great weekend. If you have a holiday weekend, congrats. Hope that that's going well. Very exciting times. Um, we're going to start, like I said, with this one game from impatience and then we'll get to all of our mobile stuff here in a second. And I can actually just leave this on the desk. So, all right, we have brand new solo two player game, solo co-op from inatients games called Mazing um by Jim Deco. And let's see. Okay, we should be good. Um, so this is to find a way through the labyrinth, a solar/2-player cooperative abstract game. So, it seems like it'll be right up uh my alley at least, and we'll see how it plays. It is one to two players, about 20 minutes, and um ages 10 and up. So, we're going to go ahead and pop this open and see where we're at. Also, let me see if I can refresh cuz my chat's not showing up.
All right, there we go. Hi, welcome. Hope you're having a great weekend. Okay, very excited. We have amazing Spanx, which I've played here. I played Fry Guard and Mayor Chicago we have on the channel as well as Rehavl and Last Minute. And then we have our Oniverse series, all eight games. Love to see it. All right, I'm going to go ahead and put this over here maybe for some junk journaling later. Okay, so we have our two-player rules right at the front. Your goal is to guide the white messengers across the board to the starting spaces of the black messengers and vice versa, but you have to move the pieces on the board truly, making sure to avoid creating too many roadblocks or dead ends along the way. All right, sounds great. Um, so this is the two-player game, but I wonder how the um solo play goes. So, it's two-player rules.
Okay. And the different pieces move differently. Kind of like chess or like shogi it looks like. And then we have our solo rules with some different variants. Neon prison timer, initial block, and no turning back. Interesting. Okay. So, yeah, there's a timed variant, which seems fun. And then we have our board here. Very minimal but looks effective. And then let's see. I'll go ahead and close that up. Just checking my volume to see if this is working here. Hopefully maybe. Okay. Should be good. And then we have all of our pieces. We have black pieces and white pieces.
The abstract game, which is very cool. I personally really love abstract games, but I have been I don't know that I've ever played a cooperative abstract game. Some abstracts have like a solo mode. Um, so it looks like these are the different pieces and they just have dots as to how they can move, which is pretty exciting that you don't have to remember like different pieces and things like that. It just shows the movement right there on them. So, very excited to try this one out. There should be a solo party video of it coming up, you know, within the next month or so, um, depending on how quickly we can get up and running here. But I am really excited for some abstract cooperative plays. That is amazing. And again, shout out to Impatience Games for sending us a copy to check out here on the channel.
Um, more thoughtfully put on that one once I'm able to play it. And hopefully we'll get a video up here soon. All right. Then we have our box of goodies from Northern Life. Like I said, some of these games I've already played and I'm just super excited to have my own copy and get them to the table. And then some of our um some of these are ones that I'm excited to try newer titles. Okay, I'm going to put this on the ground cuz there's a lot in here. Hopefully I don't knock everything over. Oh sh I'm just going to grab whatever's on top. Okay, so Decker's works collab or solo in case you haven't checked it out. Oo, okay.
I'll have to look into that one. I have not heard of it. Um, so first here today we have Enchanted Ivy. This is a new game from All Play, very cute, very vibey. Um, it is a solo game that plays in 15 minutes, ages 10 and up. Small box, big game. It says, "The magical tale of running an enchanted and filled with a cast of memorable patrons. An amazing solo adventure awaits." And look at how cute. Look, we match. I've been really into dad shirts lately, like these collared knitted shirts. I don't know if those are dad shirts, but to me, they read dad, and I have like a million of them now that I know that they exist. Um, but I found a a nice pastel one for today's streams. All these games are very like a lot of these games have very chill vibes.
All right, so let's see what we have here. We have a cute little cloth bag with Ivy on it. Ah, I really like fairy tale whimsical kinds of stuff. So, this is right up my stop. Avoid spoilers. Leave three secret door sheets in the sealed letter at the bottom of the box. Okay. Okay. Okay. We have a story book act one. Oh my gosh, they're so cute. Okay. And then we have our rules, which is staple. Um, that's interesting. Usually the allplay ones are fold out. And this is more like paper versus plasticky paper. So, there's a story mode or an endless mode where you can craft your own scenarios.
Very cool. So, you have different Ivy cards you're placing and your guests which have um alignments and preferences on their cards. This kind of almost reminds me of um the buttonshy game Ugly Griffin in, but it's with tile placement instead. So, we'll see how I like this one. Um but it's a similar kind of premise, I think, to that. Let's see. I don't want to accidentally spoil the secrets. Let's try not to do that. But we do need most of these things. Spoiler warning. Spoiler warning. Spoiler warning. Okay, I'm not looking at the rest of it. Okay, there is a little Oh my gosh. Is it a sticker sheet? Cute. They got little bugs.
I love that. Okay, I might put the story books on the bottom here. And then we have our gosh, these are so large. These the different patron cards. We have scoring. Okay. And then we have our different patrons. Oh my goodness. Look at them. So fancy. Okay. Okay. So, yeah, they have different abilities set up and then a little bit of flavor text as well as unique scoring for each of these. Raven keeper. Is this a Bob Ross reference? Wow, these are cool. Very illustrative.
Lovers. I love that. Okay. So, yeah, we're trying to get these positioned in certain way. Let's see on the back here what else we have. A lot of variety. There are so many of these. Okay. Very cool. And then we have their actual tokens of where they go out. I'm supposing. What is this? I don't know what that is. Little panel for sticking different stuff. Maybe. Oh, this is for putting the stickers for maybe for like achievements that you get for the story mode and keeping track of that. And then we have little punch board. I'm guessing they go in here.
We'll just punch out all of our friends. There are a lot of scarecrows. I'm guessing they have like multiple pieces that you have to interact with. Yeah, I really like the art style as well. And I like that it's more muted colors, a little more chill. And I really like um illustrations where yeah, they don't use any black in the outlines. It's just like different warm and cool tones depending on the colors used. All right. Cool, cool, cool, cool. And then we have our actual IV cards. So, we'll go ahead and open those up and see what's going on in there. We have endless mode. I feel like I'm going to play endless mode over and over again.
I don't know. I'm not very drawn to story. Like, even growing up playing through um real time where turn-based strategy games, there'll be like the main campaign that you can play through to unlock units and everything. And I would just be like, I don't got time for that. And I would just play skirmishes over and over and over again. So, all right. So, these are the different endless mode kind of objective parameters. Look at these doors. Dang. Okay. And then we have our I'm guessing these are where the guests go. And then we have our different cards which are double-sided. Very cute. Okay. I'm going to put I'm going to keep these cards in here. Maybe. I don't know what was in here. What's the cards? Um and then we'll go ahead and pull these in. I don't think that I need this. Don't punch out the secret doors. We'll get the backs until you've been told to. That's fine. I'll remember. Maybe.
Um, okay. We'll just put it in there just in case. All right. So, that is Enchanted Ivy Solo Game 15 minutes, ages 10 and up. Who knows, maybe there will be a solo party video of this one, too. We'll have to see, wait, and find out. pastel color theme feels nice. Reminiscent of old Mobius comic books. I'll have to look into those. I'm not very wellversed in the world of comics, but I definitely like the sound of that aesthetically. Let me see if we can get some more light. What's happening? And what's happening? Is that better? Okay.
Yeah. Yeah. Tiny box, but a lot of stuff in there. And it looks like it's very involved as far as style placement. I think last month I had um what was it? Um Oddlands that I unboxed um and was able to play, which is like a a multiple um multiplayer game with tile placement. But this one looks a lot more involved and a lot more thinking and interesting. So, I'm very excited to try this one out, although it is just solo instead of multiplayer as well. And hi, yay. Glad you were able to make it. Um, okay. Next up, we have let's continue with some allplay. This is a very allplay heavy stream. I got Pinñatas, which is um has some art from Domd.
Uh, this is a two to five player card game, trick taking game. 30 minutes, ages eight and up. So, let's see. Win tricks by swinging at the piñata. Too early and not much candy comes out. Too late and it's all gone. Again, love the art. A little more bold than enchanted IV, but just as whimsical. Um, I've been on an upswing again with trick taking games. been really enjoying some. Um, so I'm excited to try this one out. Oh my gosh, look at these little piñatas. They're so cute. Holy Woo. Okay. Nothing of comic books, just no mobius cuz it's kind of legendary icon. M.
Gotcha. Okay, I'll have to do some research after stream. All right, time to time your swing just right and get that candy. Cute. All right. Trick taking game where timing is everything. Win is set that number of tricks that go out. The longer stay in the round, the more points you score. But if you're unless you're the last person standing. Okay, cool, cool, cool. Kind of reminds me of um high society, which is bidding, not tricking, but like if you spend too much money, then you're just broke and you can't win. So, it sounds like it might be a similar premise. And then we have our cards. So, we have our little piñatas. Oh my gosh, they're pristine at one and then they just get beat up.
Vomiting rainbows. All right, let's see. How many cards do we have? 80. Okay. So, we have one, two, three, four, five, um, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. Okay, so this is 30. Do y'all order your cards facing the same way? Have we had this conversation? I don't know who doesn't. One, two, three, four, five, six.
These are Dolphon. Seven. Oh, there's our pristine little lion. Eight. Nine. And 10. And our unicorn. Okay, that's 60. Okay. So, we should have just under seven more. So, one, two, oh, two, three. Oh, no. He's all dead. Four, five, and then six. Seven. All right. Cute. So yeah, these literally could have just been numbers.
I wonder if it's a RER Cania game. So I'm assuming that perhaps it may have been a different theme originally. I'm not sure. Or maybe it is a newer title. I know that we have a lot of themes that are like republished with new art or like reskinned. So I'm not sure. Advent cards, five suit tokens, and then we have our candy. Oh my gosh, I love that the point tokens are candy. That is so cute. Cute, cute, cute, cute, cute. Okay, very excited to try this one out. Um, and hopefully I'll get to try it out this month and share some first thoughts on it in next month's or this this this month, but will be published next month's first looks video. Um, it's been really fun. I've been getting to play a lot of new games um lately and play through a lot of old favorites. Uh, we have one more allplay game which is Torch Lit. This is one that I have played which is interesting. So, um, for those of you who don't know, I recently just moved. Why there's been a bit of a dry spell in like playing and uploading, but we're getting back into it. Um, there's a little board game cafe just down the street and they had a copy of this game. I'm like, "Oh, I like trick- taking games." I remember playing it.
I'm like, "Trullet sounds so familiar." I looked it up on BG. Um, bonus. It's sleeved. What's up? Um, thank you to our sponsor, Noble Night. This is why you should buy used games because sometimes you get bonus treats like sleeved cards. And I think these are the wooden deluxe pieces. I'm not sure if the um original or the retail version has the wooden pieces. We'll have to see. I don't know. Um, but anyway, very exciting time. Um, but they have this game. I looked it up on BG for some somehow I had wishlisted the original like self-published version from um David Stalinsky. I think maybe they had some other games that I had maybe played. I played another game of theirs or it was on a list something.
I don't know. But anyway, um I was very excited to try this one out, but it was difficult to get because obviously self-published games, maybe not the easiest to come by or come across. Um but we were able to play it at the board game cafe and I thought it seems kind of convoluted. Like there have been quite a few of these um advanced variant dungeon keys. I don't remember seeing that. Oh, we did do the two-player dual mode which was excellent. But like looking through the rules for trick takingaking, I'm like, "Oh, this is too much stuff." I've played a couple trick taking games um this past year or so where I'm like there's just a little too much going on. It really strays away from like the core concept of trick taking. Um but this one was so good. Like so much thinking and reward for or so much reward for the amount of thinking and strategy that you do. Um, so it's got these doors and basically when tricks are won, you have to play cards out to these doors and as you win tricks, you move and progress through the different doors. Wherever you land, you have to bid on where you think you're going to land, but then also get scores based on the monsters that are accumulated at those different doors. Fascinating game.
So fun. One of the more innovative trick- taking games I've played. Um, and I definitely I'm just I'm enamored with it. So, I'm so excited to try it at more than two players. Um, the two-player one has a variant um where you're playing a third player hand like back and forth between the two players to put out more doors um and steal victory and things like that. So, very exciting. Um we have and look at this art. Talk about vibes. Very different vibe from piñata and enchanted Ivy, but like how cool are these? I immediately was just like, this is like one of the coolest things. All right, we have our five adventure.
We have our five meeples. We have this door token. This must be like the Kickstarter version. I don't know. I'll have to look that up. Our little torch. And they have like metallic on them. So cool. Look at that. So premium. I'm usually not that crazy about like having nice components, but I think this one's like just enough where it's not too crazy, but it really does add a little bit to the, you know, to the ambiance, especially because you're moving these like every turn. We have our little scoreboard. And then we have our cards which are just the different monsters that you play through the tricks. The name of this one is torch lit. All one word I believe.
Um and yeah, boarding cafe nearby is very cool. Um previously I had lived around Chicago and we had there were some downtown but I didn't really go to them. Um and there was one that was like more local in the suburbs that was pretty nice. But yeah, definitely nothing like when I visited Germany and there were just so many board game cafes and it was amazing. It looks like they played it at two players cuz I think you take out the miniur suit um and all the sevens. This looks familiar. So they must have played whoever this used to belong to must have played it at two. Um cuz we have one through seven and then we have our different suits of cards. Wow, cute. These are nice sleeves, too. I always cheap out and buy cheap sleeves. So, it's great when I'm getting the game from someone else and um they've uh invested in nicer sleeves. Let's see. Um 0 through six in seven suits would be what? 42. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12.
Oh, look at that foil. It's hard to see. It's red foil. 10 14. That's 42. Okay, so we have all of our cards. So, yeah, this must be a little mini expansion cuz I don't remember seeing this when we played it at the cafe. That definitely wasn't in there. It's not listed on here. Um, is that the little Where'd it go? This guy. Dungeon keys. M. Okay. Very exciting. Advanced variant. Ooh la la. All right.
No, I did not. I went to the one in um the one that we went to the most was the one in Hamburg. Um or one. I would imagine maybe there are more than one. Um, but uh, wuer dice and sugar. I didn't get to go to Oh, wait. The board game back then cafe or the um, whatchamacallit. Um, the board game store. I remember we went to a couple board game stores, but I don't think we went to any cafes.
Okay. It's hard to fit all these in here sleeved, but I think it'll be okay. Lesser of two evils cuz I remember we went to a board game store and that's where we got both stories, which was super fun. Yeah, I know. I realized that after. Okay, so that's Torchit. Oh, wait. I also got a little grand birthday mini expansion for Enchanted Ivy. Um cuz it was just a couple books. So yeah. Yeah, we did. Was that the one that had like all the games stacked up and it was like craziness wall to- wall games? Felt like I was in a Harry Potter shop or something.
All right. So, this just adds Oh, this is just Okay, that seems a little unnecessary, but that's fine. It adds three new characters, and a little booklet about a birthday. So, I'm guessing this is a specific challenge that you can play through. We have a ctographer, a game master, and a watch maker. So, I'm just going to add these in real quick with the regular base game stuff. Yeah, wall to-all games. And then I remember it was crazy because I sold someone a copy of Target and I'm like I'm on vacation and I'm still doing my job. But I think they were very excited. So it all works out. Grand birthday. This down here.
Put these characters in here. So many characters. Oh wow. And then we have some tokens which we'll just put in the bag. I think that door. Cute. Okay. I know. There's so much stuff. That is one of the things I definitely don't like wasted space in board game boxes, but when like things don't actually fit, that's also pretty frustrating. Oops, I forgot the pen for torch lit. Speaking of things not fitting, that'll fit though. Okay, this one at least has sleeves. That's a little more excusable. Okay, fit. Okay, great. Good. It's kind of in sticking up a little bit, but that's fine. These three boxes, you can't see it. So, it's an overhead camera, but they're all like different.
I'm like, okay, vibes. Check this out. This game is just taped. Tokyo washi game cops. Um, so you scan it for the rule, but um, I don't know if y'all know, but I love washi tape. I love crafting. I have a collection of washi tape that maybe rivals my board game collection. Um, it's one of the things it's like other than board games, it's like the one thing that I collect. I have like drawers and drawers and drawers and drawers of washi tapes. Um, so the fact that there is I think there's this one and there's like a cat one too from Jordan Draper. Um, this is a game that you play with washi tape.
You're trying to solve a crime, I think. Let me I don't actually know if it's just solo or how it works, but I was like washi tape game. I've had it on my wish list for a while and I finally was like, you know what? I'm going to pull the trigger. We're going to see how it is cuz that sounds way too fun and it's just like the perfect intersection of two things that I love collecting. So, I figured it's about time. So, yeah, you have your tape. For those of y'all who don't know, washi tape is I believe it's made out of like rice. Um, so it's a somewhat semi-transparent tape. So, you can see it makes a city grid. And then, oh, you have your little cops. I think you like lay it down and do different layers and try to stagger them in such a way that you can make patterns and like solve crimes or, you know, complete objectives, whatever it is that you're doing. Um, that's what it seems like you do with this one. Actually, you know what? I need to add these to Board Game Geek anyway. What am I doing? Um,
all right. So, let's add Amazing. I always forget to add these to Board Game Geek when I'm streaming. Um, and I also lit a candle for chill Sunday vibes. So, remind me where the house down. Whoops. All right. And then we have piñatas. We have enchanted ivy. Um, so we have and the grand birthday and then we have torch lit.
But this one, it doesn't have like a mini expansion listed. Does it just come with it? Or was it just not H? I'm very confused. There's an unofficial solo mode for T torch lit. Allows you to play against two opponents. I don't know about that. That sounds like a lot.
components from the community wiki do not show the keys. What? But there's no expansion listed on boarding geek. There's an accessory upgraded player tokens. But that's for the original version. What is happening? I don't know. Let's add um washi tape game. I'm back. Um, okay. So, Tokyo washi game. We have cops. So, yeah. You're the role of a Japanese police officer as you find evidence and solve crimes. You can eat ramen to boost your energy, execute special moves, and when you find the criminal, draw their face. Endlessly modular and scales up to any player counts. Interesting. Yeah. I'm not sure if it will just be like conceptually cool or if it will actually work out to be like a really solid like strategic game, but I'm very excited to find out.
Also, what's happening with Torch Lit? Okay, I need to know. Doesn't it just come with it? I don't know. It must cuz it's not listed as a separate expansion. Anyway, yeah. Which one? The washi tape game. Yeah. Crazy, right? There's another one. So, if this one's good, we'll look at the other one, too. Okay. Another vibe game. This one I got to play for the first time last month. And oh my gosh, I'll be honest. I was I looked at it and I'm like, I don't know about that.
Seems kind of just like whatever. Capitalizing on how chill loi hype is right now. Um, and it started with like make yourself comfortable with a warm drink close at hand. The last time a game told me to do that, it was a gentle rain and I hated it. So, I was very skeptical. We're just like, get cozy, strap in for like a really nice relaxing time. And I'm like, I'm not about that. I I like the aesthetic, but when it comes to games, I'm like, no. If somebody doesn't feel like they're in agony, then are we really having fun? So, all these like chill, like just relax, get a cozy beverage kind of things, they really don't appeal to me, but we played it. Oh my gosh, so good. Like instant new little favorite rolling ring. Um, and this is for Sorry, I'm getting too excited. There's a chill playlist to go along with your game sessions. Crazy.
Um, okay. So, you roll dice and fill in your grid. And then when you fill in your grid, you get to fill in these like items on the shelf. Um, make the right choices, get the most items, and progress in this relaxing game. It's one to five players, 15 minutes. I would say it was longer than 15 minutes. Ages eight and up. One of the cool things is check out these boards. They're like modular, so they're trifolds, but you can play like a shorter game with just board A, D, and A, right? You can play A B C or just A D. You can play um just E F. Maybe you can play D E F. You can play A D A D A. I don't know. There's a lot. So, there are extra little modules of things that you can do on the side panels that make the game way more challenging or longer or shorter. Um, but it is so fun. It's number puzzly goodness where you don't want to repeat numbers that they have to be ascending in order to like maximize your scoring for each row and how they connect from board to board also varies. So like where the connection points are. So it seems like there's a lot of replayability which I'm really excited about. Um yeah, this one was so fun. like the types of puzzly games that my brain will just continue to go through the puzzle after I'm done and I'll like have dreams about it where my brain's just automating it. I will
say the one thing is it does come with like cute little erasers um or pens. But look at these erasers. They're like tiny little They're nice cloths, but look how tiny they are. They're just little clouds. Like very cute. Not super effective, but you know, hey, it is what it is. The game itself though, absolutely stellar. I'm very excited to get this one back to the table and to try it solo. So, yeah, you can see like you're filling in different rows and columns um as you write down your numbers. And there's like adjacency rules and there are um different combinations of boards. So, here's all the different ones. Oh, they have cute names. Okay. There are music notes you can add in photographs, constellations, moon garland, all sorts of fun stuff you can do. Solo mode with clovers. Cute.
Okay. Yeah. So, this game is deceivingly um deceivingly chunky. No, I would say it's got a decent bit of strategy and I really like it. The puzzle is fantastic. Um, and it is very very gorgeous. So, there's that. Okay. Uh, we have one more game and then one big boy big boy game. Um, this one is Cosmo Lancer. Um, it's another rhino title. Two to four players, 30 plus minutes from Avalon Hill. Um, and this one is about capturing drawing photos, avoiding cosmic dangers, and becoming the best. You just landed your first gig as a freelance space photographer, a cosmolancer in this galactic reimagining of brand new kingdoms. Accumulate points by placing photo optiles in a managing devices, but watch out hazards like abominable worms and cosmo poachers made from your shop. This reminds me of like topiary and um what's that console first game? Sunset Overwater. I think kind of similar where you're like trying to position tiles and then line up like shots to take pictures or what have you or get like the best views, but this one's like space whales. I don't know.
Um I read that a lot of people really liked it. They said it was almost like a little hidden gem, which those words my ears perk up. But I always see it for super cheap. No had it for like a steal and I thought why not? What's the worst that can happen? is it's like not the best. I don't know that it's my kind of game. Um cuz it seems like there's like some area control, area influence. Um but I do really like puzzles. Like this looks like it could be interesting. I don't know. Um but I'm also getting like it's a little messy. Um PTSD flashbacks of like boss where you're just lining things up in rows and columns and trying to score the best. This is the board. I mean, it's super gorgeous. Like, this we're talking about. No black outlines, pastel, cool, trippy vibes. That's it right there. So, we'll see. Um, let's see if we have everything. So, that's our game board. And look at how cute that is.
That's our game board. Um, we have a lot of stuff that fell apart in here. Okay, let's just get all these. I'm guessing these are point token. They're just like little computer chip things. SD card chips. Just toss all those around here. Um, yep. Which these are really cool. Of all the point tokens I've seen in games, these might be up there. They're like satisfyingly thin, but very sturdy as well. Interesting. Usually they're like really thick and chunky.
They're very flimsy. These are a nice middle ground. Too bad I'll never use them because I always use clays. Whoops. Hold on. Okay, let's see. And we have our tiles of which we should have 22. So 11 and 11. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11. Cute. 11. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11. Flower. Best one. Oh, this one's pretty, too, though. We have some cool games with unboxing. I mean, we always do, but you know. I mean, imaging devices. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. So there are 10 for each player, it looks like.
These are very nice little wooden pieces, too. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. Okay. And then we have all of our point chip tokens. I'm not so um worried about that. Oh, wait. There are other cardboard tiles. What are these? 12 photo op, six hazard, two meteor shower, one hyperdrive. What does that mean? One black hole. These are interstellar credits. Okay, so we have whatever this guy is. That little friend. Are these all the credits? I feel like these should go in a baggie, but they're not going to fit in here in a baggie. Why would they do that? Why would they just make this one big thing? Oh my gosh.
Um Let's see what we can do. Photo op cardboard tiles. What are those? Oh, that's these. Duh. This is the cruiser token. Okay, so these do just go in here. I wonder I don't want to like split them up and put them in bags just to put them in the thing, but I think we have to. They're so cute though. Oh my gosh. I don't want them filling everywhere. Wonder if we can fit them into two. We'll see.
Maybe three. This little tiny teeny tiny. Hey. Oh, good to hear. Yeah, I'm excited. Like I said, I've seen it a bunch and the cover always gets me, but I have no concept of if it's like good or what have you. Earlier we talked about Piñatas, which is also a right-handeria game. Um, so this one's reskinned from Kingdoms. I don't know if Piñatas is a new one or a reskin of an older game, but I've heard good things about this one. So, yeah, that is encouraging. And it looks like quick enough and easy enough to pick up too that even if it's not like my style of game, you know, that it looks like it would be a good time.
Just put these little guys in here so I don't get all discombobulated again. All right, put it this here. Okay. And then I do have one more game that we're going to unbox today, which is a little bit chunkier. We have all these like little friends over here. and then we're going to get into um big one. Put the tape game up here. Okay, so this one I'm especially excited about. Druids of Aora Steffenfeld classic. All right. So, this is, let's see, two to four players, 60 to 90 minutes, 14 and up. Um, I believe it's dice kind of worker placement, route building, euroly goodness, as you might imagine, from a fel game. It was funny because we um were checking out like the local board game stores and I picked this one up off the shelf, went to the bathroom, came back, and my partner had picked it up off the shelf like not knowing that I had just been looking at it. And I was like, "Okay, I'm going to see if Noble Knight has it." And we're definitely ordering this um first chance we get.
Yeah. My friend played this one at like a convention sometime this past year last year and said they really liked it. Um it was an earlier iteration though before it was released maybe maybe at Gencom last year or something. I don't know. Um but they had said like the rules were a little rough at that point. So um but the game itself was really good. So, it says, "Sometimes somewhere in the depths of a forest with winding paths and mysterious shrines, flip into the role of enigmatic druids and mysterious sorcerers from times long past. Earning as much prestige as possible in this enchanted world by erecting brimstones and standing stones, visiting the oracle site and collecting mistletoe for your magic potions. Game of strategy featuring countless challenges, plenty of gameplay options, strategies, endless fun. That really tells me nothing about the game play, but um yeah, we're kind of coming full circle with the theme. Very enchanted ivy.
It's such flanker. The magic drinks. Are these the potions? Is that what potions are? Yep. Ew. The English ones all the way at the back. Okay. Interesting. Oh, so many things. Okay. What do we have here? They have different player stuff. Oh, look at that green. That's a good green. Dang, dude. Wow. Yeah, we really are coming full circle. I didn't think that Drew of the Fedora was also going to be like pastel vibbey goodness. Look at that. Look at those player colors. So good. This green, this like seafoam green is everything.
I'm losing my Wow. Cute. I don't know. You just get so used to like the basic primary colors that anytime a game has even one color that's like a little bit, you know, like having like a navy blue instead of just regular blue or like a seafoam green instead of just like the regular like forest green. M love it. Here for it. Anytime they use like a like a chartreuse instead of yellow, all about it. Okay, let's see. What do we have here? Overview board. player boards. These are so cute. Oh my gosh, this gives like illustrative fairy tale vibes, too. I did not expect that. I expected that it would be just kind of like normal like, okay, you got like some beigy things and some colors. Like looking at the box, that's not the vibe I thought I was going to get from the inside like components of the game. Um, we have our playing board, which is 17 part playing board. Excuse me, what? So we have one, two, three, four.
And then we have nine of these tiles. Oh, so it's like modular, I guess. One, two, three, four. So these all get connected. And then we have Wow. Okay, this is like way prettier. You know, when you like look at the game, you just kind of see it overall set up. You don't really get to see the details. I mean, when I'm looking, but like look at these like runes around the edges of these little platforms. So pretty. Oh, and they have like different animal statues. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. That's cool. I like how this game looks a lot. It's a little bit, I would say. Yeah, how it's showing up on screen is pretty much real to life. Sometimes it's hard to get like the color correction stuff right, especially streaming where I can't edit it in post. Um, but that looks pretty accurate to how it is.
Cute. Oh my gosh. That's like um this reminds me of um Bonfire has like a similar kind of illustrative style where it doesn't seem like it's a lot to look like super pretty to look at, but then once you look at the details on all the components and then you have it all set up, super pretty game. Um all right, so we have the board, which is our 17p part board. Cool. Good. Great. Um, and then I feel like there are a lot of fell games I haven't gotten to play and I want to play more of them. Um, because I have really liked a few I've gotten to try. What are these little tables? Oh my gosh, what is happening? These are so cute. Dolman. 15 of them.
Why are they so cute? Why are they pink? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 12 13 14 15. Oh my gosh. What is this? What is this? Okay, I'm in. I'm all in. I'm going to get this read and played as soon as possible. We have our mistletoe. Is this what mistletoe looks like? 3 12 7 9 12 13 14 15 What am I missing some missiles though? 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 14 15 16 17 18. There should be 20. Hm. Maybe they got mixed in with something else. We'll find out. Um very cute. What are these?
These are I don't know what those are. Something 24 gemstones. One, two, three, four, five, six. Okay, did great. These little tokens remind me a lot of bonfire as well. Who designed Bonfire? Actually, I don't know. I need to look that up. That's going to drive me crazy. Also, let's add daydream sport while we're at it. and Droids of Adora. Take it off my wish list. Put it on own with back.
Okay. Um, let me look up who designed Bonfire. It's a fel game. Duh. Okay. No wonder this reminds me of vampire so much. That makes way too much sense. Okay, provision. I think those are fine. Um, what are these? Magic potion. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 17 18. This is a point token for the green player and not a potion.
Y'all have any other recommendations for those games to try out or favorites? Let me know. I played Bonfire. I will have played this trade. Is that how you pronounce it? Um, obviously Castles of Burgundy. I don't know if there are any other F games that I played though. I'm very very much looking forward to trying this one. Seems like it has all the things. Bonfire I was a little intimidated by, but once I like reading through it, but once we played it, I'm like, "Oh, it all fits together so nicely." Um, so I'm expecting that Druids of Adora may be similar to that. 30 stone tablets. One, um, three,
four, five, six, seven, put these in the bag before I drop them everywhere. And then eight, nine, and 10. And then six of our oracle stones. I'm going to put those in a separate little baggie. Lot of decent I mean a lot of card games right here, right? And trick taking. But like we got a rolling right, we got a tile placement game. We have a cooperative abstract/solo game. And then we have big chunky euro. Lot of variety in this month order.
I'm very excited about. Okay. And luckily, we have like a pretty decent crew of people who are down to play like whatever types of games. So, very excited and fortunate in that regard. Rule sheet, which is this. All right. And then for each player we have we'll just do one of these and I'll count the rest off stream. Oh no, where did that little token go? The 50 point token. Did I just put it in the bag? Did I take it out and then just literally leave it back in there? Uhoh. Whoops. Well, I'll find it later.
Come on. I thought I Oh, it's right here. Okay, good. Great. All right, we have a small player panel. Oh, I love that. And then we have a million dice. I'm going to move this off to the side so I can just have a little more sleep. Dump this all out. What do we have in the back? Okay. Um Oh, these dice are surprisingly heavy. Oh my, they're wooden. I expected them to be light. Uh 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 there was one hiding. Oh, they are like can't really I don't know how to convey this in a visual format but they are wavy. What this little playing figure cute then we have just six standing stones. Oh, these ones.
All right. Don't know what those are for. Then we have probably your board. Six runstones. Also probably for your board. Your actual big board. We have our prestige tile. I'm going to pop them in there before I forget where it's at again. We have a thickle and a knowledge marker and a prestige marker. And then we have our 12 medicinal herbs. 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 12. Awesome. Okay, very good. I will count the rest of these off stream since y'all have already kind of seen them and then um put that in there. Um we'll do a quick recap of all the games that we unboxed today and that will be it.
Cute. I usually let people pick player colors when we play games together, but I think in this one I'm going to have to steal this green color cuz it's so pretty. I don't think my brain will allow me to accept that I might be a different colored player. Um, might just keep moving the green pieces. Okay, so really quick recap of the games that we unboxed before we wrap up. I think that's everything. Oh, wait. So, we have amazing from designer gym dec. Um, thank you to inatience games for sending us copy. It's solo to two-player abstract cooperative game. We have daydream which is a ruling rate game for one to five players like numbery combo goodness. We have um some small box games from all play. Enchanted Ivy, which is a solo tillaying game. Pinñatas, which is a two to five player trick taking game. Torch lit, which is a two to five player trick taking game. We have Cosmo Lancer from Rhino Kitia, two to four players. We have um Tokyo game series, this washi game.
Cops, which I'm really excited to try out, which is one plus players. And then we have Druids of Adora from Stefenfeld, which is two to four players, more of a Euro style game. So, um that is all the time we have for today. Thanks so much if you joined live. It was great catching up. Hopefully you have a wonderful rest of your weekends.
