The Gardens Board Game - LIVE Stream Playthrough

[Music] [Music] hello everybody it's stella here from people university welcome to our live playthrough i have a very special guest today uh which is also not too far from me uh all of you online david from grill games hello hello hello good i'm so special thank you no you are you are very special because you are my special guest um sir david and sorry everybody hello everybody and um we have we had a little bit of technical difficulties because my usb port decided to stop working but we're here sorry hey and we are going to play the garden so you can see here um we've got the garden over here this is the physical copy which i've played uh but this um today we are going to uh try to close the gap between melbourne and sydney and play it on tabletopia so yes david so how are you how you going today i'm fine i'm good i'm all right i'm ready to beat you in a game ah i'm sure i'm sure you are uh should i be worried no that's okay if if the developer beats me in the game i'm happy that's okay but if if taran beats me in the game [Laughter] no no it's all it's all good uh so saying hello to coral lou in the chat rachel um and yeah thank you corolla for the birthday wish it was yesterday but technically oh thank you technically it is two days um today is my birthday in the us canada so still my birthday we actually have a 48-hour birthday every year if you want to just keep deciding you're in different time zones i haven't thought of that but yeah that's actually true i always think that okay we live in the future but we have 48 hours birthday which is even better so thank you uh we all oh we have the board yet as well yeah made it uh i bought that from youtube and instagram and we got brett gallon from youtube so this is multi multi-stream two different channels so welcome to our the garden stream uh this time we are going to use tabletopia um let us take you to the actual game actually let me bring it up here it is so this is um is this available on palm to public david uh it is but it's not searchable you have to use the link that we've given on the kickstarter campaign all right because it's still prototype files you know we'll put up the finished public fully public one after yes we're ready yes it's it's so good like your kickstarter's funded um very exciting and tell us before i get into the overview of the game and playing the game live tell us a little bit more about this because this is basically your hometown right yeah well it's funny so matthew dunstan one of the two designers who's from originally sydney um he pitched me the game at gencon a few years ago brett gilbert wasn't there and and it was just it was the same game but it was about just the generic parkland that we're making a park and and i loved the game but i i needed a hook a reason to you know make it special and feel like i put my stain on it so um the more i thought about it i mean my local it's not i don't live around the corner from the botanic gardens in sydney but it's been an important place for me my whole life and it just seemed to fit so well and and i and i've realized that australia doesn't really get mentioned in pop culture much so might as well yeah do do at least one game with us in there that's amazing david that's that's good work and you're the developer and we know we all know matt as well um and by the way we actually have the other game this is actually the one that you design um i want to have the print and play all right yeah i i i should have remembered that game i thought you're going to show something from my deep dark past that i'm embarrassed well now you have to share what is it on your deep dark past now i want to know it is very critical of myself so elevens is a matcher and some other one zero one i've done a few little games but i'm embarrassed no but a walk in the park is great you should back for 20 copies everyone [Laughter] so this is actually kind of like the role and right version of it right yeah yeah it's it's it's similar but different i mean obviously i don't know why i said that but um yeah you're drawing the things on the board instead of uh collecting cards but it's a roll and right game so if people who know games know that that'll make it a smaller quicker version yeah now even this one is not that overly that long no uh yeah but yeah that's that's good to know so basically uh what we're going to play is um the gardens which is currently on kickstarter um and this is actually um i have this physical copy because i've got a video for it as well having fun with that one um and we are going to show you how it actually plays on table topia and um we also welcome chrissy hello chrissy and uh kingfisher games you made it what all right so what is the garden uh david are you are you happy for me to quickly do a quick overview for everybody sure i guess considering you're the developer i'm like be nervous do it it means the rules are good they're all books good that is that's a good point all right it's just gonna be a quick summary as usual and then we're gonna play which we're gonna get into more details of how the game plays so this is the gardens based on sydney royal botanical garden which is about 880 kilometers away from me i've been there a few years ago yeah i googled it i googled it i have been there many years ago taran has actually been there but i'm pretty sure it was in a uh separate location where we are based on um that place so the rule book i love it because it has some informations about robert negan a bit of history what you can see there and so on so here we are we are creating our own you know stellar royal botanical garden in david's botanical garden here on board essentially it is a tall drafting um tile driving game with a little bit of nipple movement and uh maybe a little bit of set collections on there are two type of scoring the first one is in game where you draft a card onto your garden area you can see here and then let's say i put this one here and then move the meepo so there is the first type of scoring is in-game scoring and the second one is end game scoring so the in-game scoring is a lot of time triggers by moving meeple not not always and end game scoring majority in forming certain things so you can see here on the top um is the tracker where we track i don't know why is it three sorry i forgot to get rid of one meeple uh oh four and this is where we tracked the the points and on the top here is actually the um sorry the bottom here is actually what how we scored the top one here the three top is how we score within the game and the bottom four is how we score at the end of the game so you can see here again a little more close up this is what we're trying to do we try to score certain points when we have a same set of threes it's called fountains when when we have visitors that the visit uh that that our fist of nipple go through and a bench uh bench placement well the end of the game you can see this is very tricky which i love because you can see the scoring tree now you get rewarded by the variety of the three rather than in the in-game it is by the centuries and there's also the streams as well and the majority of statues and pathways uh how am i doing david is that good that's great yeah like i acknowledge that these tiles are a bit hard to take in at once and we've actually already changed them there's not going to be text on there it's all right so it will be easier to play and get to know get to learn the game but i'm sure people watching will pick it up as we go it's not hard at all it's like it's really simple really um with a bit of a twist of course um and you know speaking of the tiles there's also um is hidden here at the top there are a lot of other tiles a variety of cells which you can either pick randomly or you know you can choose whatever tile you want right yeah that's right so there's the tiles you've got on there to tell us how to score for this game are the seven basic ones but there's 17 all up so you can like play this way ten times and then put in one different one or seven different ones and then another seven different ones and it'll just totally change what you're doing in the game even though the mechanics don't change yeah absolutely um back to the chat quickly gracie said i like the idea of walking through the gardens yeah that's that's awesome uh coral said trial drafting seems like a popular game for build the cd garden at this themes because it works so well uh okay question do the scoring goals change every game okay we just we just answer that yeah pretty much there so it does um good change uh that's the star trek hello uh chris miss legend howdy law stella hi stella david hello hello hello best of star trek all right uh now who's gonna be the first player david well i'm happy to go that sounded so mean i'm happy to go first you know if that's okay with you guys yes is that why you i don't want to sound like i'm bossing you around i don't know do you want to flip that point or something no no no i'm happy actually you're right the guest is usually uh be the first player um there's one more thing i haven't actually explained quickly before we start is see how the tile the a tile can only go to the top the b tile can only go to the middle on our garden sea can only go to the bottom you can see as well the matching um pictures on the the skyline and the buildings there and we only can have in a two-player mode we can only draft two on the same yeah raw is it correct yeah okay so um normally in a in a in a game you take one card per row um but in a two play game you take two and the rules suggest so you don't forget to you know flip your meeple over so that you know i've still got to take one more from that row but we'll see how we go you might have a good memory i don't know we'll see that at the end of the round all the cards will be gone yeah so chrissy asks a question how many scoring goal cards are they so three uh in game which is the top three here and the uh these four is end game and then there's another end game and then there's all these others you can use yeah if you want in the game 17 all up actually 18 18.

well best of star trek reckons you're not allowed to win david [Laughter] no no no he's joking i'll try my best to lose yeah in total r in total is seven so three in game four um end of game uh the one in the in the middle of the board all right yes you can go first that's all so i'll go first um so hmm i'm going to start by okay i'm going to just start you know so paths are something that score at the end of the game and it's really nice to get a long network of paths yeah but i'm looking we don't have a lot of paths in this flop of cards i think so i might take something with a cut with a path i might take this little fountain so when you place a card it has to go to the next available spot on either side of your middle so if i put that there to make the paths line up with the central sorry board then i move my visitor over to it he goes on a walk and on that card there's a fountain and the waze felt the way fountain scores in this game is um you get a point for every stream you saw on your walk so i saw one so i get one point easy peasy yeah nice uh hey judy from the nutshell t from the nutshell well welcome thanks for visiting hello uh that's it i'm calling it a flop of cards from now lol uh all right and that is your turn yeah so it's on you to beat me i'm on one point can you do it i do like oh yeah that's right you um you get one point which is track at the top here now i like the look of this card here over here i mean david made a good point about putting a big um a big path so this one here and that actually this particular one has got a statue so i should have taken that oh really i feel good already thank you david leaving it but yours is good too yours is good thank you thank you yes it is good i knew that thank you i don't think it matters that much at this stage i mean looking at the cuts out there whether it's left or right so i'm going to select put there i'm not i'm not right so i'm going to put it on the right uh my vision nipple goes there but it doesn't actually score in game so you're still winning david on to you again yeah but you could have just got the statue prize for the end of the game we'll see how we go we'll see there's no more statues out oh there is one there is one up there i didn't see that um but what i'm going to do totally do is there's a lot of water out there i'm going to take um actually i'm a bit closer i'm going to take this bottom stream i i could put it there but then my stream won't have a chance of going full length so i'm going to put it over here cuts off the path but you know go over to it i see one palm tree in the game that score in this game that scores me one point because i saw one palm tree so yeah the black nipple next two points yeah yeah that is good so that's that's a type of thing that's really good actually all right and back to me now uh so i can you are okay with creating a stream because there's like plenty of that's hey i know uh so i think this one actually it's probably a good time to start putting the three in the middle because this part anyway yeah so i'm gonna try to do it here we'll see what happens i put it here now this actually has helped me with this completing this goal so it's called matching three so there are two matching trees there is that correct yes so you get three points yes three points yeah great so two minutes so you're feeding me already [Music] what is this oh dear that that wasn't me that was me then i was like trying to blame david for david hey i'm gonna copy you a bit actually i'm gonna take these two trees and put them over here oh yeah that's a good that's a good one so i'll get three points as well because i want the lead yeah well done but that's all i can take from the top row this round right so these two you can just let sit there for a while if you want correct that's a good thing about it as well so i can just like leave it there i can just con concentrate on this too obviously the middle one it doesn't really matter if i want something it needs to be the bottom one uh and with that i think i think i'm going to take one of the two bottom ones and this one is not useful for me because there's no stream like i'm doing so it will be this one and it also connects to the the path making it a bigger path and with the bench scoring as you can see in here so score one point for each card orthogonally or diagonal adjacent to a bench so uh i'm moving my meeple here it will be one two three unfortunately only three points yeah that's still good at the beginning i guess in the in the beginning it's not too bad um hmm so i can't take from the top i'm going to take i'm going to come down to the middle row and take this it's actually got a fountain and a stream so when my visitor goes there he sees the fountain or she that's right and uh but also one stream because on my walk it's what you start on what you sit walk through and what you end on so i saw one stream so i get one point and we are tied very good um look i'm in the same position the bottom one this is basically yours that's mine yeah so you can you can strategically put the middle one first before this one and then scoring more potentially yeah yeah i didn't think of that i should check anyway uh i know that in the sea like this is like also how it's really hard for hatra you know in a two place maybe a little bit easier but in the three players you just get one and that's it yeah uh i think i'm sorry in two players you can probably afford to hate draft a little bit like some of the viewers here is probably aware that i like to hate traffic times um just a strategy not because you know whatever now it's my turn now um oh mail mail ink outs greetings from china watching the metro on my way to work nice oh hello so david in the meantime while i think about what i'm going to do this we call would you like to share the bin chicken yeah i mean you have them in victoria don't you yeah yeah do you yeah yeah yeah yeah so these are just birds that are everywhere in in urban areas and i guess in the countryside i mean they're they're probably their long beaks are for digging up grubs in the ground or little fishies in the sea i don't know but but they've also found they're very good at digging through rubbish so you find them in dumpsters and and hanging out in in in the garbage in cities and they're all over the gardens um you know when you're coming under a nest of them they're usually in the big palm trees because of the big leaves can hold their weight they're like the size of the chicken yeah with long legs you know you're going under a nest because it starts to smell a bit funky but [Laughter] funky smells great great is it me i wasn't watching you probably cheated while i was telling it i'm gonna tell everyone what i did so i picked this one i thought this might be the most the one that david would want more oh yeah it's true yeah so it has got a fountain uh so i moved my nipple from these three to here so is that correct i get one point yeah okay yeah which i and actually i was going to take that but if i take this now i can set myself up for a better bench score like that's actually true that's actually but i'm going to come over here because if i go over here i cut off my path that's correct i'm over here yeah and uh i don't score anything though there's nothing on that for now but the stream will end score at the end of the game it's over to you all right now i need to make sure that no that's okay i think there's no competition right here right now so i can just get whatever i want and you get whatever you want um i'd like to put this on the right but i think i want to try to get this one on here eventually yeah so i probably will need to do that one then unfortunately planning as much as i want to put it here i think this would be a good one yeah you're right but you don't want that top you don't want the stream just there sorry to put in no no either so yeah i'll just put it there and then it goes here and it gets one point and then i'll just take my last bench or my last card put it down here and it's got a bench let's walk over and have a sit on that bench and i score one two three four adjacent cards and i'm winning again which is the way it should be david's very competitive that's okay i said um good thing that you you charming david otherwise i would regret you coming here beating me [ __ ] you charming uh kingfisher game say stella vanilla did you enjoy cat crimes chronicles what are cat crimes chronicles is it chronicles that one yeah i don't know possibly cat crime is a chronicles of crime it's chronicles from yes i do uh and my other nickname is stella vanilla um my nick that's funny my nickname is david chocolate no it is really not i don't know why i said that they're chocolate well we just need we just need somebody strawberry because then we can form a neopolitan ice cream how's that that's right so i'm gonna go here and then score me one point no is it no there's nothing there to score there's no um i'm watching you cheat there's only um that's right i forgot that there's no sounds like it needs to be a fountain yeah there could have been but there wasn't for that one but you know what you've now got two statues so for the end of the game i'm looking at in a bit of trouble how many do you have none i don't think oh okay so anyway that's the end of the round yeah uh coral david chocolate is now blushing strawberry nice one all right now we're revealed i gave you the the ibis here thank you bean chicken okay let's tell me to help uh sure yeah thank you so we just revealed another four tiles here i've shuffled this uh beforehand as well make sure that david i'm not cheating i'm not stacking my cards why do you think i'm chilling oh i don't know i just assume yeah okay oh that's stacked oh no sorry here thank you let's put it here and one more all right and then now i'm up to me to pick something else first let's see this would be good oh no i need two tops of the waters and there's only one oh oh i better get that one for us then i shouldn't have said that although it doesn't really help you to take it you know it doesn't it doesn't help you at all you might as well leave it it doesn't but it will [Laughter] no it does you're right it doesn't but i can probably put it on the left sorry sorry david oh gosh actually that gives you two points or two points sorry yes because yeah you saw two strings i take it not because of that oh and i take it only for the points that's it of course yeah good move good move um i better take a statue although let me have a look here um this is actually nice the fountain you've really messed me up um i don't know what i'm going to do no no it's good yeah it's part of the fun yeah it's so much fun um i'm going to take this fountain which doesn't help me with the pathway no no i don't want that i don't want that i don't know i'm going to take oh this is a this is great i'm going to take these two palm trees right and it kills this pathway i don't know what i'm doing for end game scoring but if i walk to it i see one two three similar trees so that's six points bye-bye wow [Music] okay my go i want to do i want to defend my statue power ish thingy so i want to take this one without too and then i will walk that way and i don't score anything that's it no but it was a nice walk yeah yeah you know what's funny someone i was playing this with said is it okay to walk across the cards if there's no paths and and you know at the gardens at the at the boards the signs as you walk in it says please walk on the grass so yes it is fine oh really yeah um what am i going to take i might take let's get oh this is terrible isn't it really so i have really stuffed you up with the top there i can just forget about it i might have to just forget about they're still worth some points at the end of the game well this next round you go first yeah sorry i'm thinking a lot take this is a news video on youtube okay just going around trying to make a short black and white detective movie that's that sounds fun oh what'd you do okay i just get one point i saw one purple jacaranda tree on that walk excellent back to me i guess so [Music] i can get this one and then i score i don't score because there's no fountain in the middle but i do score fountain i know so if you take that and put it there you won't score anything but at the end of the game you will yeah for the stream i can put this one here this red one here oh yeah you sure that's a good one wait but also yeah is this a trick no no no no but you'll get five points at the end of the game for a full length yeah um which one is the one that you have already taken like this one is not it's okay there's none no urgency for other ones i guess except oh is that yeah no it's nothing nothing nothing i think yeah i think i'm gonna take that because it seems good and that's got one point i believe for seeing one tree yeah right okay i can take i've got two cards at the top left and just one of each row so is there anything really important down here i need yeah i think i'm going to take i think i've given up on end game scoring so i'm going to take this yeah see two two yep two similar trees for three points well done i can't move the thing what am i doing there we go one two three so this is basically for me yeah that's yours and um [Music] i think i kind of want to open up the branch there which i really can't at the moment because i want to [Music] i want to connect this to something but this this doesn't connect to this that actually is not good um all i can do is put it on the left but that's really feeble then you've finished you finished going this way that's the problem yeah you can't do your big see-saw moves well you have uh you don't have that much now [Music] you can still continue here but i don't want to either i think you know what i think i'm gonna just try to get either one of these two so if you take the two red one the bottle brush you'll see six points now but if you take the two yellow waddle trees you'll get better end game points so which was what was that um for different trees uh that would be two like three you know what i'm gonna like do it right now so i'm gonna just stack this one here blocking it and that's three different threes three same trees six sorry three okay well i'm gonna take this bench just because like i've given up up here i'm just gonna take what oh sorry uh rachel assa did i miss when you say how many rounds there are well um until we actually fill our boards there's um let me think there's eight rounds in a three and four player game and four rounds in a two-player game there you go so i'm going to this bench it's a lovely bench i'm gonna sit there and i've got one two three four adjacent cards so four points one [Music] so this is mine that's yours but we've got one each left from the bottom each so i should probably get the bottom one first and this is this is looking good because this connects my thing at least to here so i have to take this one no no question about it so i'm going there and that's it and i will see one type of theme three so i'll get one point yeah but it's so good for the end of the game your pathway is getting long so i'll take this um it's a fountain put it here on the way for fountains i see one two three bodies of water so three points [Music] because by the way i haven't actually explained properly at the end of the day oh sorry at the end of the year if it's a really long day and you have the game that's a pathway it's called one point for each pathway card in single largest network of parts um obviously that's fine you have to take this one i have sorry yeah i have to so i'm going to put it here because this will block things this is the only way i can put it and i don't score unfortunately sorry and then i'll put this here and get three points for two trees the same but i think i was interrupting you no oh good that's half of the game hey uh coral will say so it's a race like new york zoo i don't know i haven't played new york soon um so maybe it is all right so we opened up the next where's my other mouse i've got like three different mouse here one's a pencil yeah the other two are different ones never mind i lost it all right so next round that means you'll be the first player and we're revealing the best and the most hands yeah yeah okay okay yeah yeah i get that yeah that's okay i'll leave it we'll see we'll see oh look at that look at those two though yay only need one of them now i should have held out but you don't know you don't know ah what am i gonna do wow that's yeah oh what am i going to do what am i going to do really sorry sorry i haven't played new york zoo yet with honey bus and lustrous okay yeah those are nice good games i'm just gonna get this done i'm too paranoid there's a fountain on that card so how many i see one two streams so two points yeah nice very nice very good now seeing this how many there's a few statues for david here to get um i think there's one thing that i am paranoid off as well which i'm going to probably take it right now which is this one that connects my right so i'm going to have to do that all those corner points that's it oh there's a bench on it oh is it oh my god yes so you get one two three four points yay chrissy i really need to a tough decision whether it's a brick like okay it sounds like good one ew see do i just give up on statues i don't know i don't know you're leading quite a bit yeah maybe i'll see if it's still there in a little while i'm gonna take a bench as well so i'm gonna put this bench over here and score three points excellent um now up to me to me i can't really do anything at the top that will join things at the top but that's okay it's less uh at least i joined these two together this one this one that that was all i want you're doing well i don't know about that you do have a spot here for a bottom water thing i know but there are two so i'm not really fast there's one statue true i can't take both of them yeah no and you've you've taken your bottom right so i've taken one yeah [Laughter] and unless i want to do the middle one which probably this yellow one or this one well the yellow one will actually connect me with more stuff uh or the bench one the bench one always call me two yellow one if you take the yellow one you'll get no the yellow one if you put the yellow one at the end on the left you'll see three yellow trees so that's six points i know but it will end that side for you yeah well i can the band's yeah that's actually a really good point for six points oh i take this one for three points but then end of game oh it's tough decision here which is good hello don welcome reminds you of a family favorite science social that only would like parts in the garden there you go oh my gosh like it's not it's usually okay but like there are times you're like oh my god there's this one that one okay how many can you pick at the bottom you can pick one at the bottom one two one in the middle and one at the top yeah i've got one two three four five one two three yeah i can take two from the middle one from the top and bottom yeah normally in the game in two player i do fiddle with the visitors so i know how many i've taken but it's hard in table topia to rotate and flip things okay i'm just going to do that and then score three that's it all right two benches yeah oh sorry two yeah thanks two that's it all right we go what am i going to do i'm going to take decisions decisions i'm just going to take a statue see if that scares you you're still winning me and beating me in statues that could be a bad choice actually we'll see how many stats have you got david it's one okay like you're still you know there's still chances to to come back thank you there are no there are no more statues as well and then you don't you can't take the top one anymore no which is actually good for me i think i've got a little strategy for the top oh no no the bottom one and the middle one i can't take which is probably good for you so i should probably get the bottom one to see which one that i actually wanting first out of these two so i want this one or the statue one i think i'm gonna make sure i win the statue oh where did that oh yeah yeah sorry it goes to my hand first before going there all right that's interesting oh no see that i guess it forced you to take by me taking a statue it forced you to take a statue i guess that's good i think i should be comfortable now yeah i guess that's what yeah this is actually a good one actually maybe i should get this one is it too late to change uh well no of course not all right because i'll take the statue though i'll tell you that now i know that's okay i'll leave it i'll leave it um actually you're gonna get it anyway because i think i'm going to take this yeah just one point i've got to do something with pathways it's just very horrible very good very good i'll just neaten this up a bit all right so now i need to get those two at the top uh which i will take where's my meeple over there okay so if i take this one it does not do anything for me if i take this one it takes gives me a lot of gives you three points um one so one one two three yeah yeah okay let's do that and see what happened that means this one needs to be here which is actually not ideal if i put it here oh gosh yeah okay that's it that's true you sure no but pudding they're both bad cards for you i guess it's because of my amazing play because because um like if you i guess if you put that stream far on the left you can try and build a stream going down i was going to try that okay let's just do that instead but i could ask no points all right so i've got these two three that i got three just in case i'm gonna take these and see one two three sixteen trees for i'm just going to simply go there and now i score points four this time but so that was a better way to do it yeah four streams four points one two three four okay and then my last card of the round i don't know where to put it though i think i'll put it here just get a point and try and do something with these paths later okay i'm going to put it here oh beautiful because although i only get zero points no one point right now one point um it's three different race uh one game yeah you watch what happens if there's a middle string in the last round oh that's going to be like something that i want to go for first all right last round here comes the bird all right let's see what comes up come on middle good gun in the middle no no yes there's one and you're the start player oh that's the only one you have to take it i have to take it how do i i think i can do all that okay yes wow a lot of uh okay that's that's basically what i'm doing so i'm just taking this one and at the fringe so you'll get points and it's a bench as well so oops oh where is it here uh it's a bench so one two three four five it's not bad one two three four five okay i'm gonna take how many statues are there just one so i'm dead i've lost that i think even if i take this i've lost most statues um i'm gonna take this expand my pathway connection and get one point for seeing the red tree but at the end of the game it'll be good very good you'll see why oh got all what types of trees in that row did i move my oh yeah first thing thanks chrissy i forgot to move my meeple to the bench there you go [Music] [Laughter] okay my turn my turn i think i think oh this is last round what would david want this is a new one stream that is not used it's not that very useful so i should probably get this one first because that's probably one that i kind of want and that it's got me three points beautiful two trees three points okay it's not the best move but whatever yeah so my middle row is really dodgy i i can only i'm not going to get any points really i'm just going to leave that for now there's a question from chrissy quickly so do you get uh when you move your meeple to the bench you get three points from crossing the ponds no only if you land on the on the fountain it looks like um there's two fountains actually yeah this one the bench scores for or for adjacent cars yeah yeah so i'll just go for the adjacent carts when when i cross this i don't actually cross for um the streams in this instance okay this is a bit weird i'm taking a fountain that's going nowhere here um because landing on that fountain i'm going to see whoops i'm going to see one two two three three three yeah oh four is this the middle one as well oh no david disappeared i don't know what happened sorry everybody it seems like uh david has uh disappeared at the moment let's let's find out if he's back hopefully he's back soon yeah he's back yeah you're back oh no you went away oh was it me yeah [Laughter] well people if they did see me would have seen a very funny panic attack when i thought you left me but it was me leaving you yeah i'd rather you leave me than me leaving you because if i leave you that means the stream would stop that's nice i don't know i i got four points for my seeing four streams on the way to that fountain yeah that's what happened while i was gone there's the middle one it's a stream yeah it's it's a bit hard to tell it is yeah yeah i was like asking like it should be counted yeah it is uh oh hi amanda panda welcome uh so david is much louder than you're sorry i'll i will adjust my microphone now i'll talk like this no but thank you all right there you go no i've adjusted the microphone there's like a little bit of a microphone problem at the start so i was like i didn't test it i usually test it ahead but i didn't really test it but thank you uh coral so it was a magical disappearing phantom that david david took [Laughter] oh you can do magic as well david well damn so what did you take you take this one yeah okay i want to defend my thing what do i want to defend let's take this one for no reason just one point but it's good look at this pathway so far one two three four five six seven eight nine ten or something yeah let's see okay i can do two from the top i'm gonna take this lovely one see two trees on that walk that are the same so three points and i've lapped i'm at zero no i'm at 50.

wow amazing i'm in trouble now i'm only at 38. don't worry i have a feeling you're gonna catch up with these four tiles at the bottom here the end game scoring we'll see i don't know about that i think i want to take this one because it will actually get me one more point for the path although it doesn't actually do anything although this one is actually it might not be worth it because this is actually a bench i want that one a bench that just actually scores me two points currently you know what leave that bench for next round and score three and hopefully it's still there you know i can see your evil plan there is so evil i think because this actually only gives me one point of my biggest thing and doesn't connect to the top while this one too i think it's clear what i need to do okay done great because this thing does nothing for me sorry um [Music] all right i think we'll finish the top let's put a bench here um very good and three sit on the bench one two three adjacent cards three points yay obviously you uh you gave up on the statue because yeah so i could still take it but it's not gonna i'm still gonna lose strategies yeah so there's no point of taking that which is this one which i'm gonna take it's not i mean there's no urgency for the top one and this is slightly better for me so i'm going to take that one there and here's my meatball that's it hmm what'll i do there's not much if i'll just take this for a point yeah one only three there's not a lot of options now oh basically and i got this one i score three three yep one and then i get this and i score 57 points for that card [Laughter] now 0.57 you meant 0.57 a five [Music] look at your garden yours is way more um like it feels like someone planned yours you've got streams on one side and paths connecting everything mine's just a mess this time no it's not you know what's funny it's good character i mean we haven't scored the final scoring yet but something funny is um like because like the decks still have 16 cards each in them so every game is a bit different you don't know for sure what's coming out and the other day i played and it was such a stream heavy game someone had like five complete streams in there um wow yeah it was really pretty but very different to this one so shall we go through the end game score oh do you just want to stop there and say i won so no no no no i want to stop there quickly for to answer one quick question so uh christie does the path points have to connect to the center of column answer is no as long as we've got that um whatever path we have all right let's go so first one is this one scoring threes so we look at each row and we see how many different trees are there so david has got the top one has got two different threes two three three yeah so that is so that's six points and then the middle one had each type four types yellow purple green red so that's ten so that's 16 all up i'm doing it in my head which is a bit dangerous then the bottom one has just palm trees and bottle brush two so that's three so six plus ten plus three that's 19.

yeah amazing that is a lot of points for three yeah wow well uh corolla asked this question for david will this game have 3d statues so cool question we've actually got an idea of what to do for the statues first we're gonna maybe put a different finish on the cards for the statues so that they'll stand out more like a shiny gloss on the statues that's because the kickstarter is going right now but if the stretch goals if the funding keeps going yeah we've got heaps of good plans but we're going to go step by step to keep getting better and better we've also got expansions planned for the future if we're lucky enough to be able to do that which involve the statues getting very nice again but we'll see what happens nice um so uh i appreciate i feel like the point track should be longer oh i think it's okay i think it's okay because this i'm sure there's like 50 or something i doubt we're not gonna go around again yeah i promise you that that's about it for me anyway um so you had two so that's three points for the top i'm just going to add it now one two three yeah yeah yeah yeah and then just one in the middle just the waddle tree so one point down the bottom you've got one two three type so six points yeah i forgot there's a i don't think i see any palm tree lately i took them i took them yeah that's i forgot about the time three so how many six points one two three four five six i think david got this all right no no no no no no no no scoring stream two or five for each quarterback you may have two or three connected streams so so you've got three that's five five five fifteen points plus and i and i only got five and two i had one in a bit so that's seven points so you got 15 and i got seven one two three four five uh and then it was 18 18.

yeah is that 15 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. was it 10 great yeah no yeah that's right i think yeah that's right uh yeah that's 15 sorry that's one of them yeah that's right i got fifth and right yeah see and look here comes the past oh gosh i'm in trouble let's see uh yours first what's the largest one this one it's terrible it's one two three four because these don't connect here two three oh yeah it's just four points no other ones that's bigger okay that's all right that's terrible ah mine's not that bad your else is good what's that one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve yeah is this one oh wow okay uh is that connected up here i can't quite see it yes it is it's like 12.

it went in you sound so surprised no i'm kidding all right next one is statue now how many statues we have let's zoom in a little bit more i've got uh one just one here one here okay so i've got i'm pretty sure i've got this one one two three that's enough i think that's stop so you get ten points for every player you've got more statues than so you get ten points you win by six points yeah oh my god who would have thought not me i'm surprised yeah i'm surprised as well exactly right like how but but it's a good game every time it's like it's so easy it's like the rules is not hard and then you know you can see that it's it's pretty quick um depending on how happy we are obviously oh hello board game graham who wouldn't run from oh hello i just backed this game oh oh thank you um just on the the complexity though um if you start putting in these advanced tiles it gets really thinky because the way they work is often very not tricky but much more complex and you have to um change your style of play you can also add in the the landmarks which we didn't play with that that really add another layer as well um you can go visit the opera house and and the harbour bridge and get special powers or points for doing that and so the game's very um variable in the depth or the complexity you want to play with but that was the basic game and obviously that's um fun absolutely absolutely now it is a fun tile placement or card placement with that sort of roughing it reminds me a little bit of santa monica where you move the nipple around and score points but obviously it's different enough to it's so funny when when santa monica from aeg came out i was like oh my gosh that looks a lot like a game that we've been developing for a year so i i went and got it and played it and yeah there's a similarity in the way the cards go on your board yeah um but the actual game plays i was so thankful was totally different they're swinging back and forth with your visitors and the variable scoring um you know it just if i was like few they're different but they do have a they're from the same family i guess you could say yeah yeah well that's basically it i'm pretty sure last time me and taryn i wanted as well so i must have been so that's it if i can beat tarant david so don't feel bad for lucy i know i could be wrong i don't know you're the expert at this game ah no i just i just i don't know it's like there are some tough decisions here but then again you kind of i don't even calculate well we kind of have to want to calculate sometimes like is it worth more here let's work more there and the drafting i really like because you get to ex you know hate draw well well you get to head drive and also just decide like which one okay this is what opponent one this is what i want what do i get what do they get yeah and that's very interesting i also like that it's really good at two three or four players so it the the the rules don't change it's just as you said in three and four you only pick one card per row so there's a bit more you know i've got to grab something now because it's not coming back to me but in two player it is nice to sort of have that breath where well if they don't take that i should be okay so i'll save that for another turn yeah it's it's nice but different yeah same but different similar but different that's not too heavy not too light just right and the wall thank you for visiting um and yeah it's a it was a good game because i won no uh julia diaz is so funny when i saw it and backed it i totally thought of saudi america there you go another becca david yeah and uh get every twice well that is basically it so david so how can people find you uh find you again maybe i could um i could show the kickstarter here is there any um let me see if i can um there you go that's going to quickly have a look um thank you oh wow yeah so 400 from a stretch goal i've got to do an update soon yeah oh wow there you go so this is the uh the game looks looks really beautiful it's a rain i don't want to be i don't want to be a salesperson but if you back at the higher level you get that extra roll and right game and you also get the landmark meeples which we haven't shown yet on the page they're coming but you're going to get little opera house and and harbour bridge and everything else to go with the the variant where you can play with the landmarks in the game it's like you're visiting sydney without actually going to sydney right so the best of both worlds the campaigns looks good um download there's a rulebook stop there you are yeah i can see how i look like i can remember how i look like so that's okay i don't need to stop so that's it everybody so thank you so much so um just you know google the gardens as i did before uh geek the gardens kickstarter and how can people find you david like in some of your like other games so yeah so thank you for asking um they can just go to grailgames.com there's a hyphen between grail and games it's grail hyphengames.com or grailgames on instagram twitter what's the other things facebook bgg stuff um there's it it's out there it's out i'm out there i'm a bit shy but i'm there okay you're shy oh yeah actually you are you might not look shy now but [Laughter] daniel i look over at the gardens from my office but i'm missing but missing it at the moment working from home oh sorry wow you must be in sydney as well then that's awesome uh board game grand so great to see an aussie themed game yeah yes good one david good to see you my second because we did um boomerang yeah i haven't actually played that yet i should probably play that it's sold out so i went i know i could i shouldn't be a sales person but i sold out straight after the kickstarter and we're just now waiting for more copies it just was did a bit better than we expected which is not a bad thing i'm not complaining of course but that's awesome oh daniel porter say i'm an old friend of david haven't seen him in years though daniel porter oh my gosh i remember that's so weird that's so funny oh there you go a friend from childhood should you share it message me like no share your phone number now we'll put it up no no no don't do that share your phone number david on the screen how's that yeah i don't know uh or one of the nicest dudes to deal with pr wise oh um i think that's basically it we haven't um there's a request to play to play um sorry a walk in the park becomes like from the um run out of time you can't do rolling rights on a table topia thing really you need to be able to draw stuff no no you can actually you can do camera on top like tape on like actual camera well i was gonna i was i was gonna do a solo play through because the gardens actually has a solo mode as well i was gonna do a solo play through of that and a walk in the park myself on my table next week or on the weekend but if if we want to do it together i'm i'm sure i can find the time for stella on the weekend it depends what no no i don't know when but we'll figure it out yeah just let me know anyway when otherwise my stream is usually friday morning australia time or

yeah thanks really minus the slightly um microphone issue from my side okay i just thought like isn't it okay that's good see i told you i was like panicked before the stream but then when i get into the stream it's time oh no david disappeared david disappeared again oh no i can still i can still hear david okay it must be me yeah [Laughter] it's so strange then i don't know oh i'm not like i'm a human again that is it everybody so by the way um um so that is it that's a good ending yeah well corolla coral reefs gave there a little bit like david um if i haven't actually told you this but we usually have a secret ending at the end of live playthrough we sure a little bit of david was like oh no what's going on uh we're gonna show a little bit of the end credit and then we come back we're gonna torture everybody or i torture you with some bad jerk that's basically yeah i know right okay so get ready okay for now there bye bye everybody [Music] so [Music] [Music] and we're back we are
