Eve: War For New Eden - Unboxing

0:07 Today on Board Game Coffee, we're unboxing Eve War for New Eden from Titan Forge. I'm Mark Maya and this is Board Game Coffee. Get back here. This is

0:19 Thank you. Oh, I love you, too. Thank I couldn't have done it without you. Thank you. Thank you. All right, ladies and gentlemen, we got an alltime first for the channel because on this unboxing, we have a guest. Chris, join us. Hello. This is Chris. That's why I said guest. I didn't say special guest. It's it's it's just Chris. Now, if you've been with the channel for a while, then you've probably seen Chris on some playthroughs or uh me berating him on some um

0:50 many many shows

0:51 on some like skit for a preview or a review. Um, anyways, this game, the reason Chris is here is because um, this is Chris's Kickstarter. So, Chris backed Eve. Uh, because Chris plays Eve Online. Is that correct, Chris?

1:07 Now, I've never played Eve Online because it there's just I feel like there's too much commitment for me to get into Eve Online right now. I feel like its community is well established.

1:16 I get that. And I Yeah. And I will just I'll leave the Eve people to the Eve people. There's other things. We're just going to do those things. I just don't feel I can catch up. Uh, but Chris likes it. And um I also know nothing about this game at all. So Chris is here. So I'm going in blind. I never even looked at the Kickstarter. I didn't even know the Eve Kickstarter existed until Chris said, "Hey, I just backed my first game on Kickstarter."

1:41 Yes, this is my very first one. So this is my first backing. So and then

1:45 my first your first board game backing because your first backing was uh So Living. Now So Living is this beauty right here. Now, let's just segue into that. I've got a Kickstarter on right now. It's going to be on for the next Act probably after you watch this 5 days. It's It's almost done. Um, but it's for my comic book, So-Called Living. And if you notice here, this is a nice little slip cover. So, it's Look at this. Look at that. It comes right off and then holds all your books. Bam. In there. Just

2:15 so nice.

2:16 It's beautiful. And then it goes right on your shelf. And uh and I'm going to bring this up cuz a lot of our viewers are um uh from America cuz we are Canadian. And um this whole package for you cuz if you back any physical tier of the Kickstarter, you get this collector's box for free. And uh if you're American, you can get what I think it's like the 12 books like all the covers or something or one to eight. I can't remember. But the it's like for 43 bucks or so. It's so cheap with a collector's box. It's It's like you get all You can get all the books and the collector's box with standard covers for like 43 bucks or something. It's It's nuts. Um and as far as the standard, if you're just catching up, four books and the all the digitals and the collector's box for 32 Canadian, which is like it's like 20 something dollars American. It's very small. It's very little.

3:05 Um all right, that's it. And uh another thing [clears throat] is we also noticed that Chris's mic did not charge. Um so he's sharing my mic. I put it over here.

3:12 So I may talk like this on occasion just to make sure you have to. I'm just going to try not to put my arm up so uh it doesn't block you out. All right, Chris, let's start unboxing this. All right, let's This is the fir This is one of three boxes. Uh what did you back

3:26 everything? Sorry, I did not get the superiz 200% like you could actually get the game and then they had a blowup one where was like 200% more. It was huge. I was like, we do have a big enough table for it. But I thought

3:39 I did I did that for was like [clears throat] oh what was it? It's like it was a Tale of Two Cities or something like that. there was like a remake or something or it's one of those uh one of those games and there was like a jumbo version of it and I backed that.

3:52 Did you?

3:53 Um so like [clears throat] if I backed this I would have gone all the way. I would have gone all the way. You you kind of like crapped out partway there. I would have gone for the jumbo.

4:00 Well, I thought I was like I'm going to have enough issues just putting all this stuff away. So,

4:05 like I don't think it's like it doesn't change the game at all, but you know, I just if there's like a

4:10 and the actual expansions I got as well don't play with the super size.

4:13 If there's if there's a premium option, I usually go for the premium option. Um, okay. Let's open this up and see what we got here. All right, let's see what we got. Bam. Well, look, it's a box that says Eve.

4:27 So, did you say you can't use the expansion with the big ones?

4:30 No.

4:31 That doesn't make any sense. Well,

4:34 you sure?

4:34 Sorry.

4:35 It would be really weird cuz you have these the ships that are bigger than the ships you're adding into it. It would just wouldn't match, right? It would

4:43 you could, I guess, but it would be wrong size.

4:45 It would just be weird, I would think.

4:46 How does What's weird is how is this box packed in here? Get out of here. What's a box IN A BOX? WHAT'S happening here?

4:52 I need to see some other people that have taken out that thing.

4:55 What the I don't even understand what's Hold on. Let's just

4:58 There you go.

5:00 Oh, it's a a giant cube. It's a giant pupil wetle.

5:07 Jesus Christ. Get out. What What kind of box is this?

5:15 Came from all the way.

5:16 Just Just throw it away. Just throw it away.

5:19 Okay. So, look at that. It's just a [clears throat] a cube of goodness, I assume. Oh, look at all I don't want to see. I don't want to see the stuff. I'm going in blind. More blind than usual cuz I didn't even back this. So, this is uh this is all new to me.

5:34 That's the base core right there.

5:35 Usually, I do the thumb thing, but it's weird cuz it's always it's just a cube no matter what which way I flip it. Bam. Okay, here we go. Now, assuming that's on camera, let's uh let's cut into this bad boy. You know, I I do like um board games that come in giant cubes. So, there's um what was it? I had it up on my shelf, but then my shelf started falling apart and I took it down. Well, like the uh upgrade the upgraded version of Terraforming Mars came in a big the big box. It's a key.

6:07 I I think you'll appreciate they did there was one of the uh goals was actually having everything uh segmented correctly. So, there's some extra packaging stuff in there that I think you'll really appreciate.

6:20 And I've heard good things. I I did view some other people, but

6:22 there was there was like what you talking about? There was tiers or add-ons for like an organized box? Uh, it was like a a stretch goal. Once you got the stretch goal, they added in some extra money for doing some really good packaging inside there.

6:37 Okay. Because I know there's been some games, I think it's was The Witcher that I did where you pay extra and you get a big box where all the expansions fit inside this one big box. Um, oh, what [clears throat] what's the game? I think it was uh it wasn't Hero Quest. Was it Hero Quest? There was some blue box. It's a cube. It's really pretty. Uh, and it's that's a it's it's like it's this size and I like cube boxes. So, it says high stakes strategy game of galactic. So, you're going to teach me how to play this, right?

7:07 Oh, yeah. Yes. That is the plan. I've been freshening up, but I want this instruction book like we got to listen. We got to listen. You're ruining the the moment. You're ruining the moment. Just stop talking. You don't even know. Let's cover it again. Ready? Oh, slick. Slick. It's got a smell. Smells like

7:29 me kicking your butt. [snorts]

7:30 I was going to say sex.

7:35 It's got that It's got a sexy smell to it. Okay. Uh let's see what we got. Oh, look. I like I got the It's got the little like This is how you organize everything. Okay, that's cool. I I dig that. Uh oh, Suburbia. I think it's Oh, that's another cube box. I think it's called Suburbia. I can't remember what the game's called.

7:49 Too many Bones is

7:50 but it's around Oh, Too many Bones is Well, Too Many Bones. You got the collector's box like a drawer and that's a cube. So it doesn't naturally it doesn't naturally come in it. Um okay. So let's just take a look at this. So you flip through a few pages. What we got here? Rules. Okay. You got a little little bits. It's a nice rule book. Like good quality paper. So, we're obviously we're not flip through every page, but So, 35 pages and uh Okay, mind you, last two pages are like ads for more stuff, but uh 33 pages of rules at least.

8:22 Two and three player games.

8:23 Okay. So, what are the b what's the basic rules for if there's a special section for two and three player games?

8:29 Do you have an answer to that?

8:30 No.

8:32 Cuz usually it's like the odd number here, but it's like two to two and three player games.

8:35 Unless that's for some of the expansion ones. Could be as well. They might have some exper I don't know. They have the expansion.

8:40 Well, you have a lot to reading to do. Uh Chris, this [clears throat] is one of the few times where Chris reads a rule book and teaches me how to play instead of the other way around. He taught me how to play Gaia Project wrong. Uh but we figured that out.

8:53 Yeah. [clears throat] One like the GIA project part. He taught me how to play wrong.

8:58 This is a nice check. Like that's solid. That's a solid piece of material. All right. So, let's

9:03 I knew you'd be I knew you'd like

9:05 Oh, yeah. Okay. Okay. So, we got little different levels here. How do you reach into the levels without destroying the box, though?

9:11 Is there like a Do you know what I mean? Cuz what one of the games I had, it had like cutouts on the side so you can reach your fingers in. I can't remember what game it was, but there's nothing there for that. So, you kind of have to ram your fingers in the

9:24 sides there. I don't want to I don't want to poop on your Eve parade. I'm just telling you.

9:28 So, there's a lot of cardboard. That explains the weight of the box. So, let's just flip through some of these quickly. So now some of these I've heard different things because some of the uh stretch goals they've made some of them into actual little uh pieces.

9:42 What? Like what do you mean? I don't even know how I'm looking at. Isn't just this thing the board?

9:46 Most of that's the board, but there are some uh like materials and minerals and stuff like that.

9:50 Like this?

9:50 Yeah, like this stuff. Some of it will be uh actual little

9:54 miniatures. It just keeps going. Okay, hold on. Can you take the whole thing out? Okay, I'm call I'm calling a packaging fail on your fancy packaging. Uh I don't I don't I don't It's cuz look I can't It has the this little dip where you can reach in, but it doesn't go to the bottom. So you can't reach the bottom ones.

10:11 Take the whole tray out.

10:12 But look it you can't reach the bottom too very well cuz it doesn't go down far enough.

10:16 I can't.

10:18 These are double These are double-sided.

10:20 I'm just saying. I'm just saying.

10:24 Uh Okay. Well, you're going to you're going to take these out anyway. So let's just toss that back in there. I take the whole tray.

10:30 Yeah, I know. We got to take the whole tray out, but I'm saying it doesn't come out easy. There's no You have to like ram your fingers into the sides. Like this is Look, this has got a little thumb, a little entry point here to pull that out. So, that works. Whatever this is. You know what? I think we're getting into minutia. So, let's bring the camera down so we don't have to kind of look over this box and get a better look at what's going on here. Let's see how awesome Tai I feel like. Are we miss does this come out? We're not missing anything, right? Okay, let's just bring this camera down and get a closer look at everything. All right, so we got the camera down. Chris is here. He's just going to pass me one box at a time. I'll do it in front of the camera. We'll get a pretty little shot of everything. Oo, look a little box. And I also moved the lapel mic over here. So, you tell me if that's good. I probably It probably just blew ears cuz I turned right into it to talk. But I was worried it was coming off Chris in my arms. Okay, see what we got. Well, these little containers are nice. Like I I appreciate these. These aren't all taped, are they?

11:23 Okay, cuz if this was a Sean game, every little box would be taped on all four sides. It's driving me mental. I love Simon, but their taping is crazy. What's this?

11:33 Oh, exclusive ship skins. So, anyone that plays Eve and knows Eve, they've gotten really big into doing the skins on the ships. So, with backing it, I have some exclusive skins.

11:42 These are This is your code. So, I'll probably um

11:46 Yeah,

11:46 I'll block that out so people don't steal your codes.

11:51 Uh, these are nice little felt bags here.

11:55 There should be two bags. So, what's going to happen is during the game, you're going to be playing discovery tokens and uh

12:00 getting different things.

12:01 Asteroid tokens

12:02 away. I'm assuming asteroids are bad. Discoveries are good.

12:05 No, they're all good. It's just a matter of what you get.

12:07 Oh, what do I know?

12:07 Supposed to be minerals and stuff. You're going to use resources.

12:10 Well, these are nice.

12:12 It's not What's that called? What's that material called? Touch that. What is that? That's uh It's not Is it felt? It's got that weird, you know, like my grandmother's sheets used to feel like that. Satin. No, it's satin. I don't know what it's called. Anyways, um it's it's it's it's a thing. Okay. Uh next, let's uh put that

12:30 empty ones that are going to get with cards later.

12:33 Oh, empty. Look at this. Well, there's something in It's not completely empty. There's something in here. There's something in here. There you go. See? Boom. I got a What's a suction cup for? What do you What do you suction cup? Hold on. Hold on. I can't see this thing. Foul bag. Okay. What is going on here? You got like a Look at this. What's that for?

12:58 I don't remember seeing.

13:00 Oh, it's okay. Well, it works. Okay. Well, that Yeah. So, that's like a little card tray. Hold some cards here and easy slide out action. That's what it seems like.

13:10 All right. All right. See what else we got here. Another

13:15 Oh, more card trays. So, it's going to be once we start cleaning up all the cardboard and all the cards that's there to hold them all.

13:21 Yeah.

13:22 Okay. Well, I do like when games get the little organizational thing cuz for uh what was it? It's a Sean game we played. It's like zombie side but more dungeon crawly. What was that? Uh I'm drawing complete blank. Play the game to death. Massive darkness.

13:40 Oh, there you go. And uh that they I got the cool like the clear thing that holds all the cards. It's really it's really convenient. And I got all the expansions and now it doesn't fit. So there's that. Oh, what do we got here?

13:55 So these are the different factions. So I'm wondering if

13:59 I think this is just the Yeah, it should be just the basic the

14:02 I do I do have the expansion

14:03 all the organization. Okay. So the art's really good. This is a really good thick like card stock.

14:10 Mhm. And uh it's got little indented pieces,

14:13 right? [snorts]

14:14 I like when Terraforming Mars upgraded to that because remember they just had the board and if you like you sneezed all your pieces just slide all over the place. It was terrible.

14:21 Okay. Well, he's Do you know who these characters are?

14:23 Yeah. So that's uh Minmatara. That's the one.

14:25 Yeah, I can read. What does he do?

14:27 So yeah, it's Minatar. That's the uh the red race.

14:30 Depends on if you want to get into the actual video game. Uh then

14:33 do So is this like a I'll keep the answer question short. Is this are these like um clans or something that you play as?

14:40 So in that game there are those these four clans.

14:43 All right. Or factions.

14:44 Factions. Sorry.

14:46 Do you play as a certain faction?

14:49 Like do you like you yourself?

14:50 My character's Galante. But I do enjoy the cal.

14:55 You're Galante.

14:56 Yes.

14:56 That's you.

14:57 Yeah.

14:58 These your people. So is that is that like a character they made up for this or is that like a leader in the game? What I love with the game is there's always new uh cinematics. So, that could have been one of the leaders at one point or in some of the there's a lot of there's a lot of different stuff that I could possibly

15:16 I think I want to be Minmatar. I'm a fan of red. So, do they have it looks like their income build research is the same four, six, and three for all of them.

15:27 Yeah, this is the basic. So, they did add an expansion which I really like. And uh

15:32 where Yeah. So you could actually get more in depth, play the game more.

15:35 These are nice. I've said it before where I like when they um

15:39 when they emboss logos and text into the cases.

15:43 Yeah, those are really nice. So all these all these little containers are nice. So I like the upgraded bits.

15:50 Well, this is just a basic. This isn't even an upgrade, but it's just they

15:53 Well, they did a good job. It's nice. Well, I guess I like the attention to detail on those. So I guess what do you keep in here? Like your credits. So that's going to be all the stuff for that faction. So each one's going to have like your your action points, all the little cubes that go inside.

16:07 Turn your hands out of the way.

16:11 Okay. Yeah. So Okay.

16:13 Yeah.

16:14 And then there's going to be

16:15 Do these attach to this? Like is that like that? That's what I'm looking at here.

16:19 Yep.

16:19 All right.

16:19 Except colorful matchups.

16:22 Do they?

16:23 Yes.

16:23 Got some inventory.

16:24 There you go.

16:25 Okay. So these latch on to those like so.

16:30 You got her.

16:30 There you go. Beautiful.

16:33 It's so beautiful.

16:34 It is.

16:35 All right.

16:35 Wait. Yes.

16:36 Cool. Yeah. Chris Chris um was waiting for this for a while and he didn't understand how long Kickstarters took.

16:43 He's like, "Oh, we'll have it by this time."

16:45 He's like, "I'll have it by Christmas." Last Christmas. I was like, "No, you won't."

16:51 Lessons were learned.

16:53 So, okay. Are these all the same? So, I'm guessing uh so when you play since you you looked into the game a bit, right? Oh, yeah.

16:59 Do you uh do you I guess you start with this already attached or do you like upgrade to this?

17:04 So, you'll have that attached and then as you go through the game, you'll be adding some of the cubes to it to say you've achieved certain aspects. [snorts]

17:11 Okay. So, why are these separate? Why why isn't it just one board? Why isn't that just one piece?

17:16 Probably for packing, storage, moving.

17:19 Sure. You just make up things. You don't know. Okay. You just say you could say you should just say you don't know. It's way more fun makeup stuff.

17:25 All right. So, I Well, I like all the colors. So, and we got a bunch of Oh, look at these. Oh,

17:32 feel touch my hand.

17:34 Now, I can go.

17:35 Yeah. Yeah.

17:37 Nice.

17:38 Nice.

17:38 Keep these away from your kids cuz they will eat them.

17:41 They look like They do look like

17:42 I kind of want to I kind of want to put one in my mouth actually.

17:45 Those are shiny.

17:46 So,

17:47 so those will all be separated from there and plus all some of those. And Yeah. Oh, if you need any of these little bags, I have lots.

17:54 Well, I believe everything's going to be packed away once I'm done.

17:57 Oh, yeah. I guess. Yeah, cuz you just go into you just put them in their proper boxes right away. Yeah. All right, cool. Oh, and here's uh my second favorite thing in board games is the dice. So, let's let's take them out. Get out here. Take a good look at them. So, we got white dice, which I'm assuming is for uh I have no idea. This is like good and evil. No.

18:20 What we got? What are we going to do?

18:22 I'm just making things up cuz I can cuz now that I have you here to just correct me. I can just make up whatever I want.

18:28 Like don't make up stuff. Now you're going to make up

18:30 these.

18:31 So

18:32 for the evil side and the good side. I've been watching a lot of Star Wars.

18:35 Oh,

18:36 this is the dark side.

18:37 Now it's more targeting. So these are for the smaller ships. So what's going to happen is smaller ships can target better and then bigger ships can hit harder but they don't target as well.

18:47 There's so many. So, as the smaller ships are all white dice, medium ships are a mix of white and black, and large ships are all black.

18:54 Oh, look at you with the come in here with the knowledge. Clearly, you don't watch this show. Usually, I go in blind. I don't know what the hell I'm doing. But these are nice.

19:02 I think they've done a really good job with combining the video game.

19:06 Sorry, the computer game with

19:08 It's still a video game. Even if it's on the computer, it's still a video game.

19:11 New to me.

19:12 Uh, so yeah,

19:13 they did a really good job with that because if you're a big ship and you're trying to hit a small ship, it's not happening like that.

19:17 Okay. Well, we got to we got to do the we got to test. So, Chris, uh I don't know if you ever watched any of these unboxings, but uh we have to test all the dice to make sure they work. Um they work. They all work. They all work. You know, there was one unboxing, fun fact, there was one unboxing where the dice didn't work. That actually landed on a weird angle like this because it was chipped.

19:41 And I was like, I never never actually expected one not to work, but

19:46 that was it. Yes. Yeah, it happens.

19:48 See, I'm here testing so you don't have to.

19:52 All right.

19:52 I'm glad you did that.

19:54 Okay.

19:56 I got distracted.

19:57 Next.

19:58 That looks like another empty one.

20:00 Another empty box. So, we're going to carry some things in there. I just take the lid off just so we can see cuz the glare. Okay. This is This has got a little finger thing to take that off. Kind of. These these are these these latch on well. They don't just fall off. So, you got that tray. Don't know what it holds, but it looks cool.

20:19 You're doing this. Okay. See what else we got.

20:24 So, that's probably going to be holding the uh board itself.

20:28 You'll understand why my uh the game area here looks like a mess after unboxing.

20:32 Now, I see. I'm like, ah, I

20:34 Oh, minis.

20:35 Nice.

20:36 Is there anything else other than minis in there?

20:38 We I usually I like save minis to last.

20:40 So do I. But that was the thing. The next one's actually And

20:42 we'll save the minis to last. We'll just set these aside. What do we got?

20:46 Okay,

20:47 it's only one there. Wow.

20:48 Oh, it's amazing. This is a This is a heavy This is a heavy one. Is that the bottom?

20:52 Yep.

20:52 There's more.

20:53 Yeah, but it's amazing.

20:54 Okay, so let's check what we got here. Okay, so for cards, we're not going to go through all the cards, but I'll go through kind of like showcase some of the but just check out this uh tray is pretty cool. Okay. So, let's uh check.

21:11 And those cards will be going in the other trays when we actually play. So,

21:15 all right. So, it's

21:16 interesting why they put them there, not just have them in those.

21:20 Are you asking me?

21:21 Yeah. Like, why is you would know?

21:24 Um, all right. Cool. So,

21:26 there's a lot in here. So, I don't know. Let's Let's open here.

21:30 You just tell me what was what are we opening here.

21:32 So, that looks like event cards.

21:34 Okay.

21:35 So, in your usual game event cards, stuff happens. That's a nutshell right there. So you an event card triggers an event

21:45 pretty much. Yes.

21:47 Very good. [snorts] Okay. All right. So I'm just I like the artwork on these. So I'm I'm not going to I'm just going to flip through some of these so we can see the different artwork, but there's way too many cards for us to go through all of them. I've done it in the past. Uh but we can't do that today. [snorts] Hostile takeover. Like, what do these cards do?

22:11 A lot of different I don't want to do I don't want to do that. It's gonna take too long. Uh there's a lot of unique artwork in here.

22:18 They're pretty cool. So, is this artwork true to the game?

22:21 Yes, the artwork in that game is just I love it. The space stuff, it's awesome.

22:28 Isn't it all space stuff?

22:30 Yes, they they did actually just make a a new edition. What? My apolog

22:36 not space stuff

22:38 where it's a first player shooter. So you're first

22:41 like a first like a first person shooter.

22:43 Yeah. So they it's a second game but I can't remember what it is called.

22:47 Is it based on the Eve universe?

22:49 Yes. So it's actually one of the planets there I believe in the universe that you're fighting over. I have not played it because it was still I haven't played E online in uh for a bit. Um

23:01 was a bit like years, months, weeks, days, hours. I want to say a year. So, I don't want to say they were just starting to kick off that game.

23:10 That's for you. All right. [snorts] See what we got here.

23:15 Okay. So, we got That's the back of those minerals. Oh, what were the back of these ones? Were they all the same?

23:20 Yeah.

23:21 So, [clears throat] the back of these, in case you haven't seen it, look like that. Question mark events. And were they all question marks? No. No.

23:27 Oh, what?

23:28 You freaking liar. There's the There's events in missions.

23:32 Oh, yeah. different cards. Okay,

23:33 different types of cards.

23:34 You might have uh

23:36 so events and missions. Looks if there was more, I missed it. All right, [snorts] what we got here? Oh my plastic. So we got minerals. Okay, these these are all going to be minerals. These are the back of the cards. Okay, so let's see what minerals look like. Okay, so now we're starting to get into like a lot of like repeated artwork, which is is fine. Okay. So, that's our green mineral. [sighs and gasps] Okay.

24:04 I don't my glasses so I know I can't read, but I want to say it's some of the titanium.

24:10 Okay. And oh, there's only two different types here. I just started watching Wicked, so I'm into this whole green emerald thing.

24:17 I say started because uh now that I have two children, I can never get through one movie in one sitting. It takes like three to four days. [clears throat] So, we started watching Wicked. Uh we've passed through our first sitting. And uh yeah, I'm hoping to get it done in the second sitting. It's possible because it's a musical. So uh our toddler is a little more he gets more into it if they're singing and dancing. So because if it's like a lot of just like talking there certain things you can't watch them. You know what I actually did like and he liked was uh How to Train Your Dragon, the live action. Oh,

24:52 that was pretty good. I actually really enjoyed. I thought they did a really good job with it. And he also liked uh Kong versus Godzilla. He wanted to see it again after we finished watching it.

25:00 My little buddy right here.

25:02 All right. So, this is these. They printed these cards upside down. Did you see that? I fixed them. They were like this.

25:07 That's why that's why you're in charge right here.

25:10 They printed them upside down.

25:11 So, you've got a combination.

25:12 We got some minerals. See what these minerals are. I'm This is going to be something fancy. I'm going to like gold. Bam. No. More emeralds.

25:19 More emerald stuff. Okay. Let's uh How about we just put them together? You okay with that?

25:24 Make it easier for me when I go to

25:25 You're welcome.

25:26 Clean up this chaos later. You're welcome. Uh uh Okay, so we have more These are more events.

25:32 Nice.

25:33 Are these all events? Yeah, these are all events. Okay,

25:39 that's a lot of events.

25:40 Yep, it's a lot of events.

25:41 I see a lot of replayability. Like, from what I've heard, there is a lot of replayability in this game.

25:46 So, I uh especially with some expansions like

25:48 I reached out to Ryan from Man Versus Mele. Um good friend of mine. He uh asked him about this because when Chris said, "Hey, do you know anything about the Eve game on Kickstarter?" And I said, "Eve like Eve Online?" And he's like, "Yeah." I was like, "There's a Kickstarter." That's pretty much how that g that conversation went. And um so I called Ryan cuz I uh I Googled it and he came up. So, I was just I just instead of just like reading or watching a video of what he had to say, I I just called him up and I was like, "So, hey, Ryan. Um, Eve, yay. Nay." And he was like, "No, it's good." I was like, "Oh, okay, cool." I was like, "Excellent. Just uh" So, he was like, you know, friend to a friend,

26:35 you know what I mean? And he was like, "Yeah, it's good." So, then I passed that message on to Chris and he was like, "Yeah, I was going to get it anyways." Yeah.

26:41 Anyway, I was getting it. But I have heard a lot of good things. So I was happy to get that extra confirmation.

26:48 Okay, more minerals. Okay, let's see what we got here. Are these all minerals? These are all minerals. Oh, these are all are these are all minerals. Yeah, those are all minerals, too. Okay, so we got more of our rocky minerals.

27:00 I'm not going to even bother reading. I just look at the pictures.

27:03 Uh cuz I got glasses on and uh and I'm looking at through my phone so I don't even bother. It's fine. It's in 4K. The video is in 4K. There's things that I notice when I'm editing the video that I don't notice while I'm watching it here. It's cuz like the 4K is better than my eyeballs. So,

27:21 the joys of getting older. Just saying

27:24 cuz I get to look like a 4K on my big screen. There you go, buddy. Okay. So, there's more of our orange.

27:32 There's the There's the expense ones right there. There's the bad boys. Those are the ones you want.

27:35 More fight. There you go. I could I could kind of read them from here. These are I do like the artwork on these. There's a lot of them. You sure they're expensive? There's the most. There's like ver There's more of those than almost any other. Look, there's a whole more pack of morphight there. I think you're confused. I don't think red. Are you sure? You sure that's sure that's the expensive one? Because look, there's more even there.

27:56 But I have a feeling it's going to be like that little bit on the top and it's then it's going to go to the other ones.

28:00 Okay. So, how soon are we playing this, Chris?

28:04 Well, you're gone this weekend, so it's not

28:06 Yeah, I got I got things to do. So,

28:08 I'm not just sitting here waiting for you

28:10 to teach me how to play this.

28:11 Wow.

28:12 You plus you got to read a 33. It's like, what day is it? It's Thursday.

28:15 You're not going to know how to play this by Saturday.

28:17 I've been watching some videos.

28:19 See, look at that. Only one red in there. Boom.

28:21 You called it. You can have that. It's momento.

28:25 Okay. So, let's see what the backs are. So, what are we looking at here? Oh, faction development.

28:30 Ah, yes.

28:32 Does that mean something to you?

28:34 Wait for those two. Yes. faction development indeed.

28:40 When you were looking at the board where you had the character and you had that piece that went on top, those are your development cards. So, each race will have its own or faction will have its own uh developments that you can improve on and increase and that's going to be on the top and you try to use your science to learn.

28:56 Look, it it looks really clean like from uh an aesthetic point. Like I like the art the text reads really clear. I get kind of a Dune vibe

29:04 from uh looking at this

29:07 and the Dune game is awesome. Not that this plays anything like that, but uh on a side note that that makes me want No, just saying it makes me want to play it again. Now, I really want to play this. So, are we going to have an all day gaming here in the studio or your place?

29:21 That's what we're trying to figure out because I think it'd be nice for you to get a little little break away and something different, new, but then my house is a newer house and it doesn't even have a couch yet. Um, yeah. Something new. Uh, let's How about we sit on the floor? Like, like you remember when you said we're getting old? Sitting on the floor doesn't work with that.

29:40 The hell? I'll be 50 next year. Like, uh, I can't be sitting on the floor.

29:45 This is true.

29:46 Okay, so we got red strategies and blue strategies. So, I'm assuming uh

29:52 uh I'm just going to say hard strategies and uh water-based strategies. I just like I just like trying to guess wrong.

30:02 Yeah, it was you did well at guessing wrong. Strategy would be more uh kind of similar to your development where you're trying to have that built towards the way your game style is going to be.

30:12 Hey, is there a is there stargates? Fleet jump like little jump gates

30:17 in the game. There is.

30:18 Yeah. Time distortion. Okay. Wow. I like I you know I like for these that they went with a simple icon so you can kind of see like oh your shifts and what they're doing. Like I saw that gate and I've never played this game and you I was like oh that's I could tell from that image that's a well it's a it's a I I thought like Stargate or jump gate yet it's fleet jump. So I wasn't far off. I could tell just from that. Don't exactly know how it works specifically but that's a a good job with iconography that you can like quickly reference it so when you're playing the game it's nice to have that like I don't have to read everything all the time. Mhm.

30:52 Which as ugly as it is, Terraforming Mars did a good job with that, too.

30:56 Yes.

30:58 Uh, guess your strategy ones will be more uh picking them for to work with your strategy as basically as I can say it.

31:06 Yeah. Thanks, buddy.

31:07 That's what I'm here for.

31:08 Thanks for coming out. Thanks for [clears throat] coming out.

31:09 Wow. I was like, how am I

31:11 So, these are just uh these are just the same cards just for different factions.

31:15 Yes.

31:17 Okay. So this game uh [clears throat] just like the game online is that uh there's many ways to win. So you can either focus on all manufacturing and production or you can focus on uh trade and economics.

31:32 So since I've never played before, we're talking like like civ where you can have like a holy victory or science victory or war victory, you know, type of thing

31:39 except you can go those paths but you're going that path to get victory points. uh first one 10 points or when you first get 10 points that triggers the end of the game. One final round and most points the end wins. So, okay. [clears throat] So, we got more faction development things here.

32:01 And

32:01 that's I think is going to be the hardest part of it is

32:04 more similar cards like this before.

32:08 So, I'm not going through all of them. It's just too many. And I some of these I think are repeats from before. I think that'll be the biggest challenge for us when we play it the first time is you got to pick four out of your pile.

32:19 I think the biggest challenge for you is going to be teaching me while I'm hammered.

32:24 So

32:24 that's true. That is true.

32:26 Is or teaching me before I get hammered?

32:28 Yes.

32:30 I'm going be like pants on or pants off, Chris? How we doing this? [snorts]

32:37 Focus. Focus.

32:39 All right. So, yeah. So there's some repeat ones, at least repeat art, so I'm assuming the text is repeated. All right. Okay. Oh, he looks Look at him.

32:49 Sneaky sneaky.

32:50 Yeah, that looks cool. Okay, so like I'm I'm I feel p drawn in by this uh this artwork. Like I'm I'm interested. I want I want to play this. But yeah, if we play here, the only thing is if we play here, then we have uh we start early. We play in the studio and the studio would just ask uh the kids to stay out. Mhm.

33:11 And if they do, then they could we could do that. That could happen. And uh Yeah. And then we'll have we have a mini fridge there. We'll just stock it up.

33:19 Mhm.

33:19 We're good.

33:21 Yeah. It should be should be fine.

33:23 We kept a lot of money.

33:24 We just have to lock ourselves down here.

33:26 And if you need to take a break after I kick your ass, uh you can go uh play with the children

33:33 and color.

33:34 They like me better. [snorts and laughter]

33:37 They don't. Yeah, there.

33:42 All right. I don't know. [snorts] There's It's more faction development cards. So,

33:47 it's just the MR.

33:49 Yeah. So, again, I'm I'm expecting to see a lot of the same.

33:53 But there might be the odd one. Odd different one. I And since I'm just flipping through this, even if they are the same, you might see one that you've never seen before.

33:59 Mhm.

33:59 Like that one. I think this one looks new. That one or that one? Oh, no. You didn't need that card anyways, did you? There you go. Did you buy Did this come with sleeves? Was there a sleeve option to sleeve these cards?

34:11 No, I did not see sleeve options

34:13 cuz I only I only asked that cuz I'm sorting my my uh collection right now. Uh and I just found a giant box from Awaken Realms for sleeves cuz they they Awaken Realms offers a lot of sleeves so you can see all their cards and their games have so many cards. So you get these giant black boxes, these monoliths of uh Oh, those goes with those goes with that one. Okay. So, we don't have to look through. I'm just going to open these. Do a quick flick because we're getting to it's getting szies.

34:43 So, let's just pop that open and then we'll start looking at some minis.

34:48 Yeah. So, we have we haven't done the back of that box yet. We're still on the front of it.

34:51 Yeah. Well, the minis are going to be exciting. Okay. Get get All right. So, uh here we go. Okay. So, more so more faction. Oh, that's not that's not faction. We'll look at that later. What is that?

35:06 Oh, it's faction. back. Oh, it's just for the other. Okay. Again, a lot of things you've seen already. So, we'll just uh There you go. Pause. Because you maybe Oh, you saw that one before.

35:16 That was actually the one that you just Oh, one.

35:18 But, uh like some of these may be completely new to you. Is that like a cost?

35:26 Oh, yes. Do you know what I had to focus in?

35:29 So, that would be the cost for learning it. So, those you'll have on the on that top of that uh uh

35:35 So, is there like a deck building? Like, where do you keep these cards? Like, what's

35:38 So, that piece that you put on top of the character, that piece here, like they go on top of each other,

35:43 that piece goes on top. Those will go on top of that.

35:46 Okay.

35:48 Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's fine. We all know. We saw it. We saw it. Okay.

35:52 I'm just excited.

35:54 And then, oh, we got big bigger cards. What are these?

35:56 So, these are the ships. So all these miniatures, that's them and their information.

36:03 So these are like info cards for each of the ships.

36:05 You got it.

36:08 Damn. This is so staticky.

36:11 Okay.

36:12 All right. Okay. So Oh, I was say all the right. They're not all the same color. Okay. I'm going to flip through these quick. This is 4K. So you guys can just like I'm just going to make a little pile. You

36:25 guys are actual ships in the game. So you guys you guys can just stop and look at the details yourself because I'm going to flip through quickly. 4K. Feel free to pause, read. It should look fine. So I'll go through these are bigger. They're easier to go through and that way you get to see all the ship stuff. These cards look nice. Great design on uh

36:46 how they feel.

36:47 They're nice. They're they're smooth. They're good quality cards. They're very glossy. You want to touch one?

36:52 Yeah. Touch it.

36:53 Touch it. It's yours.

36:54 It's my favorite. I think it's perfect ship, too, because this is the one I always fly in my game. That's my my main ship.

37:00 Really?

37:00 Yep.

37:00 I didn't think they they put like the noob ships on the cards.

37:06 Chris isn't very good at games. Uh I just thought I'd say that. Just bring that out.

37:10 Throw it out there.

37:10 Just throw it out there. Well, that's the thing is actually with Eve, I've like only I only scratch I've played it for years, but I still only scratch servers because I just

37:19 haven't put in that amount of time to

37:21 So, there's a there's some um player aids.

37:25 Oh, nice. I like those.

37:27 Those uh All right. So, we got

37:32 You're going to need them.

37:34 There you go. What's on the other side of these? Do you have going to need my glasses when we play this game? Got to remember.

37:43 You need your glasses for every game. You say make it seem like there's another game that you don't need your glasses for. This one I'll need my glasses.

37:51 All right. Okay. So, that's what the back of them look like. Okay. So, they're just the ships from the different factions.

37:55 You got them.

37:56 Okay. Cool. Neto. All right. Let's look at some minis.

38:00 Yeah.

38:01 This is the most exciting part. It's the most exciting part of this. Now we don't need to look at the doubles. So maybe you just pass me the ones that are like unique.

38:10 Okay.

38:11 I know you get a chance to look at them, too. Ready? We got a good system. Let's see. This is the This is my first tag team miniing. Where's the mic? Ah, where's the Is it still there?

38:22 It's still there.

38:22 I can't see it.

38:23 Yeah, it's in underneath your collar.

38:25 Okay. I just smacked myself with a [snorts] Okay. Oh, and if you guys see this black stripe on my finger, that is not dirt. I damaged my finger. All this skin is brand new. And that's blood being fed through my nail. So, [sighs] it's uh that's what that is.

38:45 I like it. They're nice and solid. Like it's connected. Well,

38:48 so do you does this ship, Chris? Do you recognize this?

38:52 Yes.

38:52 Good details. It's nice. And

38:54 I do not have the skills for anyone that knows the game to fly that ship.

38:58 Means nothing to me. You can put that away, Chris. Do you have think of how you

39:03 Oh, this one looks like like a scorpion. Is it called a scorpion, Chris? Is this one called scorpion? Tell me it's called a scorpion.

39:07 It's a Oh,

39:10 zap.

39:11 Yeah,

39:12 zap zap. It's got the little tail. It's got the little I keep hitting this. It's like, you know why I keep hitting this is cuz the camera is usually on that side. And now, because Chris is there, it's on this side. So, doesn't Okay, cool. I like that. I like this ship. I want to be this one. I have the skills to fly that one.

39:31 Sorry. That is not the gold mic name is that one I believe.

39:35 Yeah.

39:35 I don't know. I can't I don't get to fly these ships. I don't have the power to fly these ships.

39:38 Pretty sure it's the Scorpion.

39:40 I'm I'm calling it. I've never played this game before.

39:43 This one is called the um

39:46 that one

39:47 doors stop. Okay. Actually, you know what this one looks like? The battery case cover. Looks like the the part that you take out to put batteries in something and then you just cover it back.

39:58 Okay. Next, what do we got? Next we got uh

40:02 we're moving on to frig.

40:03 Oh, that one looks cool. That's got to be a little fighter, right?

40:07 That's cruiser. That's cruiser. I could be wrong.

40:13 I'm not a Sorry. I'm not a calari. I love their ships. I love their missiles, but I don't know them that well.

40:21 Oh, yeah. Why is it taking you so long to find different mini?

40:23 Cuz I'm trying to do it in sequence of size, but I don't even know this one.

40:27 Don't find any se just go in order. That way you don't miss anything. This is a tiny little ship. It looks like a napkin holder. Is that what they based this on? You know, like you just put your little napkins in there.

40:38 Okay. I like that these guys are all mounted already on these clear plastics. That's nice. And what we got here? [snorts]

40:48 My favorite so far is what you said was the cruiser, but it looks like a fighter. This looks like a steering wheel. Kind of like you know those you know those on those cars.

40:58 [groaning] [snorts]

41:02 Okay. Ships are nice. The detail is sharp.

41:08 You could actually have uh they had expansions where or not expansions, sorry. Uh where you could actually buy them just to paint them.

41:18 Oh. So if you got the uh biggie sized versions, would you get bigger sized versions of these ships?

41:25 Yep. So the big E size big E size version as you said is just this but bigger but then like I said the expansions wouldn't go with them because the expansion weren't going to be produced bigger.

41:36 I see. You know what that kind of reminds me of is the world's most uh useless collector's edition is uh Pandemic. one of my favorite games. One of the most uh collector's editions I was most excited for cuz it came in a little medical kit and it was just terrible. Just terrible. One of the worst ever collector's editions because uh first of all they changed everything. They changed the cards. They changed the board. They changed everything which is great but they never put [snorts] stops but they never put uh they never made expansions that match the collector's edition. So that means you could never play the expansion with collector's edition because you could see that the cards are different and they're from the expansion. It's it's dumb. It was dumb.

42:25 And it was just ugly. It was terrible. I was so That was the biggest collector's disappointment ever. Oh, this guy's heavy. Which one? Which side's the front? Is that side the front?

42:34 It's kind of got that uh

42:36 That one I can fly. I can fly that back.

42:37 You sure that's the front? Cuz that looks like the That looks like the cockpit there.

42:42 Not sure right there.

42:43 Okay. All right.

42:45 I ship. It's a drone base. It kind of reminds me of um like a train like the front, you know, with the like you got the wheels here.

42:52 That's kind of I get the sense of like that um

42:56 locomotive

42:56 art de art art deco locomotive.

42:58 Mhm.

42:58 Oh, I see. Yeah.

43:00 Looks cool. That's a nice one. It's heavy. That like that's what I'm throwing at you when you upset me. I'm throwing that one.

43:06 Oh, look at that. That's cool. I've been watching a lot of Star Wars. This thing would fit right in.

43:11 This thing would fit right in with the in the pod racing. Maybe not. But uh looks this looks cool. Those are blasters.

43:21 Uh that ship uh it's bonuses are for blasters.

43:25 It's a cool looking ship. I like that one. Okay, that's my favorite one so far.

43:28 That's kind of why I win. Galante because I like the way the ship

43:31 Oh, this is your people. You're the Galante.

43:33 These are my peeps.

43:34 Okay, so this one um that kind of looks like a face mask actually.

43:39 It's a battle cruiser.

43:43 Zoom in a little more. Whoop. Was that a tiny one? It's tin. It's not t We've had tinier ones. I'm just zooming in so we can get a closer look at it. That's too zoomed in. It's too It's too much. Too much. Can't handle it. Okay, there you go. What's next?

44:00 Cruiser.

44:02 Cruiser kind of looks like almost like a pistol. I like the sh the design of their ships actually. I'm assuming that's the front. That's the trend, right? They have like these um what do they call like a rhino type of deal or animals like or bison, you know? They have the big fronts and the tiny backs.

44:20 Destroyer.

44:21 Oh, this is one of those like it's it's got the one long wing.

44:25 Mhm.

44:25 It's the deal. Yeah.

44:28 Lots of guns. Very thin armor.

44:32 It's cool looking ship.

44:36 Tiny. What do you got here? What do you got next? Moving

44:38 into frig. Friaking frigots. Okay. Got a bit of a See like a little arvark thing happening there.

44:49 Yeah.

44:50 See that?

44:51 Mhm.

44:51 Yeah. All right. Next. Next.

44:55 Can't get it out.

44:56 Next.

44:58 Aiz light element humor for you.

45:04 What?

45:05 That's that fri's more for discovering things. It's so tiny. It's such a teeny tiny mini. Let's zoom in. See if I can see if I can get you guys to see this. It's going to be a little blurry because we're zoomed in so much to see it. It's a tiny one. Like look

45:21 how it is with my finger.

45:23 It's kind of why I wanted to get the uh blown up version, but

45:27 cuz it's so tiny. Look at that. He's so cute. Little tiny little tiny shippy. This is a fighting frig.

45:36 Another one. So like tiny little like insects on my fingers. Look at that. And I have small hands, just so you know. So just goes to show you like I have to zoom in quite a bit to see these. All right, cool. But they got pretty good detail for how small they are.

45:55 Is that it for the minis in that box?

45:56 Yep.

45:56 Okay. What else? What's Anything else in the bottom?

45:58 Yipper.

45:59 Say yep or nipper.

46:00 We got four factions, brother.

46:02 All right. Well, faction me up, man. Let's take us along. Pick me up. All right.

46:08 Is that all of it?

46:09 Yeah.

46:10 It's the bottom of the box.

46:11 It's done.

46:13 This is thick. This seems excessively thick.

46:17 Oh, wow. Yeah.

46:18 This is really This is a really thick piece of plastic.

46:22 All right.

46:23 Or amar. Would you say mar?

46:26 Amar.

46:27 Amar. Let's do Amar. there.

46:32 Oh, it's the cantaloupe slice or the mango slice. They're lasers.

46:41 It's a cool looking ship. Caldera the first blue with a scorpion. They're missiles. That's why I like them. But working on learning their ships. All right. Cool. Next. Next.

47:10 Nice. So, is um you can play Eve. Eve is just like P like player versus player, right? So,

47:19 they do have areas where you are safer.

47:22 Like I'm I'm talking the video game by the way if anybody's wondering. Um, so you can play uh against just the computer or environment I should say. Uh, but you're never completely safe in that game. Consider it as you're playing in the playground and there's police around so you're pretty safe, but some guys come in there still whoop your butt, but the police will get them afterwards. Come on. [snorts] All right. What do we got here? This kind of looks like a little claw. Like something you'd put on your hand or something. Back of your hand. My nail looks rough. That black bit there.

48:03 Focus on the figure, not your finger.

48:06 Hey, you guys should have seen my finger looked terrible. I actually have a video of them popping the pus out of it. It was gross.

48:11 It's raw. It's all kinds of raw.

48:13 The entire tip of my finger was just like a mess. Okay, this one. That one's cute. Cute. Again, they're tiny. Okay.

48:33 I missed this one.

48:35 Dude, this is why you go in order, Chris.

48:37 I thought I did.

48:41 Didn't we do this one already?

48:43 I'm not sure. I'm like,

48:44 all right. Is that it for all of them? All right. Hooking up with the red ones. Minmaturar.

48:49 Minmaturar. Minmaturar. Oh, he looks cool.

48:53 Mhm.

48:55 That looks like a vicious. This is the faction I want to be. And I want to start with the ship. Can I start with the ship?

49:01 They prefer rail guns. No. No. It would take you years to get into that one.

49:06 Talking about in the game. In our game, this game. It's not going to take us a year to get into it.

49:10 No, but yeah, you'll need some time to build up to it.

49:12 No. I just can't Why can't I just start with it?

49:14 No. Doesn't work that way.

49:15 Did you read the rule book? Do you know?

49:17 Yes. You're gonna see those development cards? You're going to need to learn medium uh hull and you got to learn large hull

49:26 and you're just making things up because you don't want me to play the big cool ship. I called Minmatar piece of fluff on there. All right, that looks pretty cool. Oh, I like that one. kind of looks like a really fast uh Death Star or a pointier Death Star. I've been watching a lot of Star Wars recently.

49:49 They use rail guns. These guys, I love rail guns.

49:53 I like rail guns. Okay, this is a cool one. I like that one we got here. [clears throat] Nice. Okay. continue.

50:16 So, have you been watching some how to plays or listening to how to plays or

50:21 who's doing the how to play for this?

50:24 There's a couple. Oh, he also plays the game. Captain

50:28 Oh, it's like a like a learning like a play where he plays and teaches at the same time.

50:34 No,

50:35 no. So, you just uh

50:37 But there is that's a ready ready play. I don't remember names.

50:42 Ready Player One. It's a movie. It's a book.

50:44 It's a book and a movie.

50:45 What do you know?

50:49 Don't feel any pressure. Chris, I ask you questions and you're being judged by the people.

50:54 People are asking the game questions, but as far as the the people that I watch, that's board game people stuff that I don't remember.

50:59 I'm not watching your videos. I don't know what the hell you're watching. That's psychic. This is a tiny little thing. He looks cool.

51:12 That's it.

51:13 All right. Neat. It's harder to comment on ships than it is people. You know, a little, you know, like you got people, you got these giant like troll things with a little person on their back. You're like, oh, look, say something. But this is just like, oh, look, it's a, you know, looks like a napkin holder with guns on it.

51:30 So, or a or a cantaloupe slice. Oh, yeah. We got another box. Okay. So, uh, let me move this up. Let's get reset. Check out what's in the big box. Get that out of here. Get out of here. Get out of here.

51:41 Positioning.

51:44 This is our next box. Let's get in there. All right. And

51:48 scary when you stick a knife in like that.

51:49 It's just like that regular lid.

51:54 All right. Let's open up. See? So, this is one of the expansions. Is that what I'm trying to get into here?

52:01 Do you know what's in here?

52:02 I'm pretty sure I do.

52:03 You do? Is it a cat? because I haven't been feeding it. Oh, it's the Titan Expansion. Yeah. I gotta get up to do this. All right. A couple boxes in here.

52:17 Yep. Okay. Titan expansion. Oh, it's a bunch of expansions. Eh. Havoc expansion. Noise. H structures. Structure set. All kinds of things. A visual upgrade pack. Oh, this is your little uh resources and stuff

52:39 that we were so excited about.

52:43 Packers.

52:45 This is a record. No. What is this? Visual. This another more visual upgrade packs. Okay. Succession pack and [sighs] Azrael Titan expansion. That looks cool. And uh a lot of a lot of packing paper. Okay, toss that over there. Okay,

53:15 let's bring this camera a little lower. All right, now it's the Boom Titan expansion. Okay, so let's uh open her up and uh see we got my hair. I've got this long hair thing is new and it's itching the hell out of me. Uh if it wasn't for my glasses, it would be in my face like all the time. That's

53:34 So in the game there are these massive ships you can only fly in Nulk. Uh

53:39 you're just making words up. What's What's a What's a Nulk?

53:42 So that's like where there's no police. Like there's no there's no security there. It's all just free range cowboy style. And there's zero sec and n just the levels of security that's in the low. This is where like the hardcore players play and they've been playing for years. They can fly these ships. Uh you can only make them in those factories. They're massive ships. I have never seen one or ever dealt in that area or done any of that stuff. That's way beyond my capabilities, but you can like even if you just started the game now, you can join these uh factions and go with people to do this kind of stuff.

54:19 Sure you can. All right, let's uh

54:22 But I've always wanted to I always want to like be with that group doing that. Oh,

54:28 can't bring this guy anywhere. Can't open a box with this guy just chatting over just ruining my experience.

54:33 That's the only time I can talk is when he's when he's quiet.

54:36 All right.

54:38 More booklets I could read.

54:40 Yep. So, are we gonna play with these expansions? Are you gonna start with the base game first?

54:44 Definitely start with the base game first.

54:45 But you're not going to read all this, right? Cuz you're going to have you're going to be able to know what the hell to do

54:51 right away. Like you're going to blow your load in the first go.

54:53 No. Well, I'd like to get one of the expansions in like do like the first core game maybe once or twice and then do one expansion.

55:01 Like that, but I don't know. Have to see. All depends if we do it next weekend or the weekend after. We'll depend on how much more time I have to uh study. Well, that said, I will do have some weekends coming up where I will be out pedaling so-called living. So, I'll be selling this. Remember, you can get on Kickstarter if you want if you're joining now. Um, it's an awesome book. I've got mine. So, anyways, but I'll be selling books at uh the Christmas market or outside LA Mood. Actually, it's they're not it's it's during the Christmas market, but it's not at the Christmas market. Although it's in the same building, if that makes sense. Okay, so just big ass tiles. What are these? What's going on?

55:48 So they would be probably your uh your normal tiles. You're going to Harley probably replace them with these ones and you're probably going to build the ship on that section. I would assume that's how

55:59 Okay. All right. I haven't heard or seen anything on how the expansions work yet, but that's kind of assuming that you're going to be building these ships because of the way that they're uh set up. Well, like good quality stuff. The art's nice. That looks I like this uh this ship.

56:17 Mhm.

56:19 It's like um it's like half of a what are those? The uh No, the that weight that shake weight or whatever the hell it was called. Remember that thing?

56:29 It's like half of one of those.

56:33 All right.

56:33 Can't take you anywhere.

56:36 Oo, these are big.

56:37 So, are there bigger ones than these? So yes, let's bring this down.

56:42 Keep talking.

56:43 So the game set would have been the the miniatures that we just saw, but larger size closer to these size, but these would still be bigger,

56:51 I would believe.

56:53 So like,

56:55 but these are the biggest ships in the game.

56:57 Okay.

56:58 These are the

56:58 Cuz these are like large.

57:00 Yes.

57:00 All right. Well, let's look at the cards first. Yeah, those look cool. I want to see I want to see those. I'm distracted. I'm distracted by what's in there. All right. There's our uh our shake weight. That's the MR Titan. Sure it is. It's the one you usually see.

57:22 What is it? What is this? What is this? Oh, there's more. Postards. Should be all the Titans in there. You got this.

57:32 They were so stuck together.

57:33 Just pictures.

57:34 Yeah, I was saying just postcards. Cool.

57:37 Is it What do you do with these? You can put these around your house

57:40 in my my office room. Maybe I'll do something.

57:47 Like I like looking at the I like looking at the art for these things. Like I got some art books for games that just cuz I got the allin they came with the art book. But if the art book is like an optional like hey you can get just the art book. I never get it because I'll never look at it.

57:59 I can appreciate it. I can look at it once but I'm not going to be going back and be like look at this. These are uh these are thick. What are these?

58:12 That's

58:12 Titan actions. Okay. These are

58:18 Wow.

58:18 They're well made. Look at

58:19 I like

58:20 they're hard.

58:21 Wow.

58:22 There you [snorts] go.

58:24 Okay. Well, we've seen these. We don't need to take these out. There's just more of these. Do you want me to stand across the room and hold those for you so you can see? I don't know if that was caught on camera, but Chris is like doing one of these to check out the cart. [snorts]

58:44 Anyways, you could probably be more centered, but because you're kind of cut off, it's probably better that way

58:51 here. Okay. So, we got each faction

59:00 represented

59:02 kind of stuff we got on the back. Let's uh

59:04 This is the front.

59:07 Doomsday device technology.

59:10 Yeah.

59:10 Okay. So, let's just go through these quickly. I'm assuming they'll be different ones because they're Nope. Doomsday device techn. It's the same thing. I don't know if it's different to make them, but they it's the same

59:26 dillio. So,

59:30 all right. Well, I'll save you your

59:31 take that

59:32 shaker one for last just to Or do you want the shaker one first?

59:35 No, shake weight. Let's just do the red one. Let's see. What is it?

59:37 You broke it already.

59:38 Yeah. Oh, look. There's magnets.

59:40 Yeah,

59:41 that's cool. Why?

59:42 Cuz you got to build it.

59:44 I don't even know. Like, I don't know why these things are here, but I like it. There's only three pieces, right?

59:49 Yeah. So that's the thing is that's what those tiles I believe

59:51 it's big

59:52 build the ship.

59:53 That's awesome. So are these like do you do you have to like gather resources to make this or do you just like find this floating out in space?

1:00:02 It just happens to go like snap. Get in there. There you go.

1:00:08 A magnet.

1:00:09 It uh

1:00:10 I don't I like the way you did that. I think it's on there right

1:00:13 I can't I'm trying to see it through the camera. It's well there you go. Cool. That's neat. I like it. I like that. As you can see, there's little magnets there and they just snap. There's clips. There you go.

1:00:28 Snap. There you go. Cool. That's neat. I like that. I didn't know.

1:00:34 So, that's what I think with those tiles. I think you

1:00:36 That's awesome. Oh, it broke here. This is yours. You fix that. Fix that.

1:00:43 Horrible.

1:00:44 Hey, there's my Oh, that's a little tiny bit. Oh. Oh, this one's got more pieces. Does that one have four pieces? This one has four pieces.

1:00:53 Yep.

1:00:54 Oh, I feel like it's be easier to build your that red one. This uh this one is a little more involved. So, we got this piece and that fits.

1:01:13 Or did you just break it? Is that what I

1:01:14 Yeah, I just broke it. I just snapped it off. Is this a magnet? Oh, wrong way. Cool. I feel like I just loaded a gun. Ah.

1:01:30 Oh, wow. Pew pew.

1:01:34 That looks nice.

1:01:36 Mhm.

1:01:37 That looks really nice. I like that one. Just let me look at it for a bit. I see you're ready to give me that mini. Just give me a second.

1:01:41 I want to play with it now. That is so cool. That would that would be the one I I would eventually want to fly.

1:01:48 This one looks like it could hurt somebody for real. It's sharp. This is a sharp one. You could take out an eye with this thing. Like legitimately, I broke it. Nope. That's where it come. It's the magnet. How many pieces this one have? I feel Oh, hold on. Is there four pieces this? It is. Hold on. Is there four Is there four pieces to the red one? There must be a fourth piece of the red one. I just missed it. Why you taking off camera? I don't have it over here.

1:02:11 Cuz I want to play Figure it out. Uh, so there's that, this, and there's got to be another. Is there a piece there that come off? Just rip it. So rip. Oh, wait. I think I found it.

1:02:23 I hope it's a magnet. And you're not

1:02:25 I'll buy a new one. Oh, there you go.

1:02:28 There you go.

1:02:30 So, they're they've all got four pieces. Okay.

1:02:32 That one fits in so snug. I didn't even notice.

1:02:35 No,

1:02:36 I like that.

1:02:37 Nice. Yeah. Well, that one that one's clearly the e the that piece is the most how I say blended.

1:02:46 I can't do it. I can't miss the one that was [snorts] up there.

1:02:49 And this goes like this. Like so here. Just upset you. This one goes like that.

1:02:55 Take it. All right. Cool. I like this. It's a little Can't I'm struggling looking through the camera doing this. It's It's like It's a

1:03:07 [clears throat]

1:03:09 I I already forgot how I took this apart. Okay, so this one goes here. People are are like getting so upset. There you go. Get in there. Lock. Why don't you lock? I see. Hold on. I need to use my eyeballs. Well, maybe. No, maybe my eyeballs don't work either. There you go. See, my eyeballs work a lot better than

1:03:31 It's like this this uh phone in front of me is not helping. Does that go that way or that way? Let's see. It goes this way. Like so. No. Ah, that's the front piece.

1:03:45 There you go.

1:03:46 And that's that piece. There you go.

1:03:49 Knew you could.

1:03:51 Cool. I like it. And now the shake weight. [snorts] Does look like a giant mushroom. Oh, just broke your mushroom. And yep. And here we go. There you go. Now I know what to look for.

1:04:14 This is so cool.

1:04:16 You see this Titan a lot in the in the big battles.

1:04:20 I I heard there was problems with if you have games with magnets in it, shipping it becomes there's like extra issues with like things you got to go through like border things if there's magnets in your game. And I only heard something about that because I have a game. I can't remember what it's called. It was an older Kickstarter where a bunch of kids are stuck in a nightmare realm and there's magnets involved and I can't remember what it was called. But um Faceless, Fearless, something. I don't know. But uh I I thought I heard something about when that was shipping there was some issues with magnets.

1:04:54 What you going Just put it in the box. Just try figure it out later.

1:04:59 Bam. Okay. Here we go. Hey, he looks he looks cool. Is that Mr. Havoc?

1:05:06 Yeah. Uh, Trigalians, I think they're called. Uh,

1:05:10 that can't be right. Whatever you just said there.

1:05:13 They were.

1:05:16 They were added in a few years ago uh into another aspect of deep space. Really cool uh expansion that they did. And yeah, so it was interesting to see that they brought this into the game. I don't know.

1:05:30 So these guys when we play with them they'll it's for a fifth player or or an odd player. So you can have two to three or let's start again. Three players.

1:05:41 There's no starting editing. [snorts]

1:05:44 That was me starting. You can do three players or five players with it. So they start in the center and they corrupt the spaces around. Keep talking

1:05:57 like a crap in my face. Yeah. So, they'll start in the center and corrupt uh the other players and then I would assume that the other guy's goal is to take them out. [snorts]

1:06:08 Okay.

1:06:11 Talk through that unloading too.

1:06:15 The artwork is really nice. Could you bring that back for a second?

1:06:19 Don't show me. Show the camera.

1:06:22 It's nice. Anyway, I just want to say it's really nice.

1:06:25 It's pretty.

1:06:26 I like the feel, too.

1:06:28 Okay, so this this as far as expansion goes has a quite a bigger much bigger rule book. Like just this expansion has like 18 pages. So, um we probably won't be playing that one right away.

1:06:43 Well, now we won't be able to cuz I like this. Look, it's got a little I don't know if you can on the camera. It's got the bunny with the skull. There's a human skull with the rabbit ears. I like it. If you like uh deadly bunnies, so-called living, there's a lot of bunnies in this. Um or there will be come 57 678. All right. Sorry, I was just showing the Let's see those on here. Okay, cool. All right, let's uh bring the camera down. We can uh get closer and see these things. We can see this guy here. He looks pretty good. He looks a badass. Can I be him? Oh, we're not playing in the expansion, right? I want to be him.

1:07:28 We need more uh more players.

1:07:31 Need at least one more

1:07:33 more like you need more friends.

1:07:35 All right. So, so you need me now. Got to put criminal activity tokens. It's another one of those velvet bags. All right. Let's see what we got here. Yeah. These things are latched on. Well, that's really thick plastic.

1:08:01 Like they they did a good job. It looks like like quality packaging. So, I'm going to go through these while you Yeah, I can't. This is a large pile of cards. Can't get out. Let's go through these big ones first. Okay. So, what can you tell me about Havoc?

1:08:17 Uh, yeah. Yeah. So, they're pretty much like I was saying, they start in the center and they're just going to corrupt around them and try to take over. Uh, and our goal would be to take them out.

1:08:25 Okay. So, why is this one got X on it? Oh, is that a reference card of some sort?

1:08:35 I don't know.

1:08:36 I don't know. Why don't you know anything?

1:08:38 I haven't played the game. There's nothing on the expansions yet.

1:08:40 Deathless ships. Okay.

1:08:41 Nothing. Maybe we should do that.

1:08:44 Okay. So, here's all the Do what? uh stuff on the expansion when we learn it. [snorts]

1:08:52 So, here's the ships you're going to be seeing there. There's my little bunny. I like the bunny.

1:09:00 These ships look cool.

1:09:02 So, they're similar to the other ships because I think they're

1:09:05 Oh, it's a rattlesnake. It's called a rattlesnake,

1:09:08 not a scorpion. Rattlesnake. Didn't we see that though in the other one? Is this same types of ships? What these guys do is they corrupt.

1:09:16 Explain yourself.

1:09:20 They will take over that race and take the technology from. So that's what they've done here is they take these ships and corrupt them.

1:09:27 You done? That's it. I expected so much more. So there's Have they

1:09:32 Have they take Well, this one didn't make it in. You probably don't either.

1:09:34 It's the rattlesnake. Um, so

1:09:37 did they take is the story that did they take ships from all the factions or just ships from one faction? uh a different faction all the factions. Yes.

1:09:46 So they

1:09:47 but I want to say in the game it's video game it's actually slightly different where they're in a different layer of space and we kind of steal their technology but

1:10:00 you're just making up.

1:10:01 I want I think I could be getting confused with Havoc being the first player shooter game that they started.

1:10:07 Is that could be messed up here. I could be thinking of the Tlavians and not

1:10:12 theians, which is a hard one to say when you read it. So, I could be messed up between the two.

1:10:17 Havoc could be the

1:10:18 And before you guys like pick on Chris in the comments if he's wrong, I don't know if he's wrong cuz I've never played Eve. Um, keep in mind he's only ever played like two video games in his life, Eve and Civ.

1:10:28 Pretty much. Yeah.

1:10:29 So, they do have a lot of side.

1:10:34 Sure does. That's what he tells people. Uh, speaking of Civ, I want to get back to Civ 7.

1:10:42 I gota check to see if I can run different story.

1:10:46 Okay. A different game.

1:10:47 Let's play see what we got here. So, some Again, the artwork is is is great.

1:10:52 Mhm.

1:10:56 Is uh are any of these like models from the game like is there any cutscenes in the game? Like, have they exp have they expanded on it recently?

1:11:09 They're always expanding in some way or another. I But again, I haven't played it in a year, so I don't know what they're at now.

1:11:16 See, stuff looks good, though. All right, so there's those. Those are for you. And these are What do we got here? Okay, so faction development cards. I'm assuming we're going to see a lot of what we've seen before, but now just for this new faction. Actually, these look kind of different. There's a lot of cards. Again, I'm not going to flip through all of them. I'm just going to uh Yeah, these are quite different as far as faction development. So, I'm not There's too many. So, I'm just flipping through some. Guess I do believe this is part of the new first player shooting game. I think I did get the two races mixed up. Now that I'm seeing more and more of it, I'm like, ah, yes, it's making more sense now. So, how long how long ago in this video were you wrong? I'm not editing that out, by the way. It's

1:12:04 Yeah, go back and erase every time I said Triglavian. That is a completely different race. There's so many things with that game. It's It's amazing. I I recommend it. Uh and you can start now and still get into some really cool stuff. It is. There's just so much in that game.

1:12:23 Yeah, it's I the

1:12:24 There's no other game. I just remember that one story where it was like some guy's ship that was worth a whole lot of like was it million dollars in real world money or something crazy like that and uh it got destroyed. That would be one of those uh Titans right there. It's because it takes you years just to gain the experience to fly the ship, let alone the years it takes to save up in the game money to build that ship or the time it takes to actually build the ship. I wasn't even looking. I think these the same cards. [clears throat] Okay.

1:12:57 All right. Next. Yeah. I'm ready for ships.

1:12:59 Oh, yeah.

1:13:00 Start from the small ones first. Go big. I I like to save the better ones for last. Got

1:13:06 work up to it. You know,

1:13:07 I guess

1:13:08 you want to blow your load in the beginning. Hold on. Let's uh zoom in. Kind of looks like a a mask flying through space or like a butterfly. That's a cool looking ship, though. Okay. I approve. It's a good ship. What do you got here? Little tiny little fighter.

1:13:32 Mix the calder one.

1:13:35 All right. These things almost look like tools. Like they're based on some sort of like saw or something, which I've seen before where people people take um

1:13:47 like can openers and they'll make ships like ships out of them and technical drawings of them. This [snorts] looks uh Ow. These are sharp. That's a cool ship, though.

1:14:03 I do like that one.

1:14:03 I like that one. Okay. Like I like toy ships that could hurt people for real. I'm I'm less impressed with this one. It's tiny. It's just I don't know. doesn't really this uh shape doesn't really do much for me. There you go. Like this one. It's a little See, this got a little more personality to it. Okay. What do you What else you get, Chris?

1:14:34 I got more.

1:14:35 I got more.

1:14:35 Oh, okay. Now we're getting See, we got to work our way up. Now we're getting cooler. Next. Next. Dang it. Oh, this is a bigger version of that other ship we saw. Pretty sure it's bigger.

1:14:53 It's the same size.

1:14:55 Is it? I think it's bigger. Maybe might be the same size. Bigger.

1:15:01 It's corrupted.

1:15:01 I don't know. I think it's corrupted. Expand. It made a little bigger. I'm just going to say it's bigger to annoy you.

1:15:12 Oh, what do we have? We got something.

1:15:13 This looks cool. This is another sharp one.

1:15:16 Oh, no. Oh, I've got a broken one. No.

1:15:18 Oh, no. Well, you got proof.

1:15:23 Oh,

1:15:23 you just tell them you got a broken one and then they'll go tell you to screw yourself.

1:15:28 A [snorts]

1:15:31 Oh, that's poopy.

1:15:33 No, I'm pretty sure they'll hook you up with a new one. Just tell them that it broke.

1:15:38 It's one of those broke.

1:15:40 Okay, here. Come. Let's see the broken ones. It's one of these big, eh?

1:15:43 Yeah.

1:15:44 Look at that. Oh, that's sad.

1:15:47 Yeah, I was like, what? I thought it was a different ship there at first, but it's just because it's on the side and it's broken.

1:15:51 Well, see, maybe it's it's um

1:15:54 maybe it's a magnet like the other one,

1:15:56 except it's old school magnet. You need glue.

1:15:59 It's just like the other one. You just need glue

1:16:01 because we know glue will hold that really well.

1:16:03 It's okay. You just use glue temporarily. They'll send you a new one.

1:16:06 You got video [clears throat] proof. You open this. See, Titan Forge, it came broken. But now I can hold I can hold the mini up.

1:16:13 That's true. I like the design of that one.

1:16:17 Yeah. And that's why Oh, it's such a nice one. It's

1:16:21 okay. You won't be playing with that. Oh, look. It's the rattlesnake. See, look. This is bigger than the other one. Don't tell me it's not. This is bigger than the other one. It is. Get it. Go get the blue one.

1:16:31 Go find it.

1:16:32 It's

1:16:33 It's blue. So, that'll help you.

1:16:35 It's bigger. Get it.

1:16:37 I'm working on it.

1:16:38 Get it.

1:16:40 You hear a crash? I hurt myself. Same size. Okay, it's the same size just like I told you.

1:16:53 I knew I Okay,

1:16:59 good thing I I

1:17:04 You didn't have to get You just You would have just told me that it was small. I would have believed you was the same size as me.

1:17:10 Yeah.

1:17:10 Yeah.

1:17:10 Yeah. Okay, we've gone through that box. Come on. You're slowing us down, Chris. Bam. There it is. This camera's right in my face, but that's okay. It's okay. Let's get through this cuz we got a lot of boxes to go through and Chris can't stay here all night. So, let's see what we can do here.

1:17:30 So, what this is is the Titan version for the Havoc.

1:17:34 I can't even keep talking.

1:17:36 So, the ones we just did, uh, the Havoc, this is the Titan version. So this combines with the So you can actually do multiple expansions now with all of them together. That's slim. That's like when we get to the advanced level. That's what we're doing. When we got the game under wrap, it's all this one should be really cool. Okay. [snorts] Oh, look at the little tiny manual. Look at that. I'm okay with that. So teeny and tiny. Okay. I like them that way cuz the other ones are so big.

1:18:12 Okay, so I'm not going even take that out because I think it's just one card

1:18:16 and I think you can see that on uh you guys can see that there.

1:18:22 Okay, there be a lot on that board if you do like all these expansions together. I just wonder what's going to

1:18:26 Let's take this out. Let's take this out. I'm going to stand up for this. Let's see what we got here. Another postcard. We won't take that out. Just a postcard. So, which way does that go? That way. And then uh we got more of these thick ass cards and uh some stuff in here. It's uh What is it?

1:19:01 Oh, it's more uh technology [clears throat] cards. Okay. And now, oh well, we got more of these. We need to take those out. You know how those work. And then the piece of resistance. Look at that [clears throat] violent looking thing. That looks cool,

1:19:23 right?

1:19:24 Oh, it's got a wedge so you can sit up. I'm not going to do it, but that goes in there.

1:19:31 And that one comes apart as well.

1:19:34 No, it doesn't. how I broke it. Yeah, it does. [snorts] Just like it's got have four pieces, too. Right there. If it doesn't have four pieces, I made four pieces. Cool.

1:19:48 That'll be a lot going on board to get them all together.

1:19:51 I like these little uh

1:19:52 Mhm.

1:19:53 Dio's. I can't even. Is it that way? This way? This way? That way? This way? That way? Is it this way? It's that way. It's this way.

1:20:01 So bad at putting those things together. It hurts all of us watching.

1:20:05 This way. Is it that way? Which way? Is it this way? [snorts] There you go. No. Is this way? Which way? Is it that way? [snorts] It It's It I enjoy that. It annoys you. There you go.

1:20:23 Put together again. It is really cool.

1:20:25 Mhm. [clears throat] Let's take some time to look at it here and enjoy it in all its glory. Cool. All right. Well, that was Oh, you can put it back in the box. You don't have to.

1:20:38 Yeah. At least do that.

1:20:40 All right. Uh let's get ready for Let's do another this little This little

1:20:46 little. All right. Clear. Clear. Clear. Boom. Succession. Okay. Let's open this bad boy up.

1:21:11 This guy gives me uh Cisco vibes from Deep Space 9.

1:21:15 I don't like Cisco. All right. little

1:21:24 another little tiny weeny beanie.

1:21:27 This is an This is uh

1:21:29 all the commanders uh just the base versions. Now we get to

1:21:33 we can actually change them out. So each faction will have more commanders now we can change them instead of just having that one that came with the uh

1:21:40 the set.

1:21:41 Oh, cool.

1:21:42 So

1:21:43 So you just sit him on here somehow. That doesn't even line up.

1:21:49 Eyes are twitching right now. Look, they print they printed them sideways. I fixed it.

1:21:55 Good thing Good thing you fixed it. So glad you did.

1:21:58 So that's cool. It's got I like how it has this little hold in the back. So you just go like and it pops right off.

1:22:06 That's nice. I like that.

1:22:07 Yeah, it's got a little rim so it sits in there nicely so it doesn't shake off. That's cool. And then

1:22:13 see these ones will have be all different uh builds now. So you'll have more building so you can modify your commander the way you want it for your game.

1:22:22 Kylo Ren seven build. Wow.

1:22:27 Look at these. Oh, we've seen her. Oh, I got the basic ones in front. And then

1:22:35 Yeah, the basic ones are already in that pack. And then now we get to Wow. We could play this over and over and over again and have a new game each time. So excited.

1:22:45 I think it's the point, right?

1:22:46 Yes. board games. Not

1:22:48 that was one of the things that people were asking when they were doing the Kickstarter and uh they came through. I think this is definitely if you backed it. This was one thing that I was debating but I'm like no I got to get it cuz that's that's going to be a big one. Looks like the guy that plays Visions. Okay, cool. So all of them and then you get like Oh, let's use that hole. Punch those guys out. Then you got like should be four factions.

1:23:19 Four trays. Cool. These are like hard plastic. That's neat. And we got uh this action. See what's in here. Well, there going to be

1:23:38 are there going to be uh

1:23:40 faction development cards again.

1:23:41 Oh, more development cards. There's so many fashion development cards on here. Can't this the static on these.

1:23:48 And that's thing with starting the game is you got to pick four. So,

1:23:52 we might end up doing that randomly for the first game or we might actually go through them. It'll it'll take us a long time to go through to figure out which ones we want.

1:23:59 Okay. So, again, I'll just go through a few of these because there's a lot. [clears throat] But yeah, these uh are nice. I'm starting to I recognize some of the like the ships that are like the mini versions that we saw. [clears throat] Cool. Well, that's it for that's it for that one. Nice. All right. What's uh what's next? Any other little boxes? No, I think

1:24:30 let's go a little higher.

1:24:32 Bam.

1:24:34 Yeah. Now we're getting into stretch goals.

1:24:36 All right. Let's see what we got here. Let's open her up. Get there. Well, these will be quick.

1:24:47 Yeah, there's debates on whether these were actually going to enhance the game or make them a little more cluttered.

1:24:54 Can't.

1:24:54 So,

1:24:55 clutter enhances games.

1:24:59 So, you may have saw earlier they had the

1:25:01 I can't get my fat fingers in here. Get in there. Why was Come here. There you go. Okay, continue. cuz you got the uh mat pieces that you attach together. They're only so big. So, you're going to have your minis on there and you're going to have other stuff on there. So,

1:25:18 Chris talked through another

1:25:20 cuz he tells me to talk and then he's open.

1:25:22 I never told you to talk.

1:25:23 Keep talking. He did. He did. He said keep talking.

1:25:26 What's going on? What's What goes on? What's a lot of space?

1:25:30 Yeah.

1:25:30 What's happening here?

1:25:32 So, I'll probably just dumping that into one of the other boxes for sure.

1:25:34 What's What's What's the deal? What's with this? What's Explain yourself.

1:25:40 Explain yourself.

1:25:41 Cuz yeah, it's just for those cuz those end up just going in the other box.

1:25:44 It's got to be for something else. This holds tiles.

1:25:48 It's like a tile storage box.

1:25:49 So, in the uh base game, those uh individual boxes uh that hold the factions, you'll load those up. I guess you can put them in there, but

1:26:03 look at these.

1:26:04 Yeah. Um,

1:26:05 so these are, so they do have with all that cardboard, the first uh box, they have these, but with just little cardboard versions. So they'd go on the tiles saying uh that you've claimed that territory, but instead you can put these little flags saying you claimed it, which I thought would look cool. And I kind of was hoping for that they hit that stretch goal, but then uh one of the people doing their previous war was saying, "Well, now it's going to be in the way cuz now you've got your ships in the space and you got that in your space. So it might be something that might have kind of getting in the way of the ships." I'm sure it'll be fine. You always always use the premium plastic stuff. Even if it

1:26:38 That's why I was like, I want it. I want more.

1:26:40 Even if it get even if it gets in the way. Just just use it. And uh so I'm opening these just to show you. I'll only take one each out just so you see the different icon on it. The faction icons. But they all look the same except different colors. That's the only different part is Whoop. That part there.

1:26:57 The faction.

1:26:58 See? So, let's uh take out one each. Just see the faction symbols. Very um Gryffindor here. All right. Cool. All right. So, that's that's that. Not much in that skinny little box. Slide that over there. We got another skinny little box. Uh, you know what? I'll just take the plastic off that while I raise this. Wam. Bam. Okay. So, this sounds a It's a visual upgrade pack. Chris already took the plastic off.

1:27:44 I didn't say word.

1:27:45 You didn't. You didn't. You didn't.

1:27:47 These are the resources. So, instead of the cards and little tokens,

1:27:51 resources.

1:27:53 Resources. What? I I said resources.

1:27:55 Resources. Resources. Is it re is it resources or resources?

1:27:59 Resources. All right, let's check these out. Oh, shoot. I'm shaking the camera. So, these are cool. These are little little red crystals. Yeah, the expensive ones

1:28:22 you that you So you say how do you know what the expensive ones are? I thought you were crap at this game. How can you even afford these?

1:28:29 Can you even afford these?

1:28:31 This is the closest you're ever going to get to them.

1:28:33 No, I'm going to mine them. I'm going to mine.

1:28:38 So, you're going to dine.

1:28:42 Wait, wait a second. Are they the same? They're the same ones. They just change the color.

1:28:45 Yeah. So, I was just pulling out one, but you're like, I'm dumping them all out. I'm like, "Fine, whatever." Okay, fine. We don't have to look at all of them. Just look at the colors through the bag. So, we have green. I thought the different resources would look different. I didn't know they'd be the same thing, just different colors.

1:29:02 Are those different?

1:29:03 These are different.

1:29:04 Are they?

1:29:04 So, now we're getting into those are components.

1:29:10 I like these. So, these are like little uh

1:29:13 little like little Amazon packages.

1:29:15 Yeah. So you can get components and stuff off planets. There's moon and planet components.

1:29:22 Cool. I again I always I like little upgrade packs.

1:29:27 That's what I want. I'm like this just looks cool. I want these.

1:29:31 I uh I'm I'm not going to name any names, but uh there is one game in particular that's in my collection that I dislike. Um I just don't think it's very good. It's not like I hate it. I just don't think it's very good. And I've been trying to sell it for a while. I don't want to name names. Um, but they their components like for the little little like resource components actually that were pretty cool. That was pretty cool.

1:29:58 They were like little mini things like this too.

1:30:02 Yeah, that' be a planetary component right there.

1:30:04 Cool.

1:30:05 Fact material.

1:30:06 Nice. I know where they at here. There's little uh little cans of Budweiser. What are these?

1:30:22 Or uh

1:30:22 little drums.

1:30:23 Yep. Resources of a planet. Moon

1:30:29 science. I don't know. This looks like moon. No, looks like a moon.

1:30:34 Moon.

1:30:35 That could be the moon resource.

1:30:37 What's a moon resource? Um, so in the game everything is built by and so with this they're trying to mimic that. So you get to uh harvest resources and minerals from planets, moons.

1:30:51 Next box.

1:30:52 That's a great story. That's a great story. I didn't realize Put

1:30:55 I didn't realize it was going to take you three days.

1:30:57 I don't know where the lid is. It's

1:30:58 right there. There you go.

1:30:59 Literally says resources on

1:31:02 structures set. Structure set. Mhm.

1:31:08 I'm assuming in here we're going to get some structures.

1:31:11 Yeah. I I That's a good guess. That's a good guess.

1:31:15 And they're going to look something like those.

1:31:17 You're talking through the unboxing.

1:31:22 Oo. Oh.

1:31:24 Ah. See I see if you would ah

1:31:26 tower collapsing. Got to Well, just let it go. [snorts] All right. All right. We had a litting off screen on a litting fail. Okay.

1:31:38 You got this.

1:31:38 I get this out of here.

1:31:39 Do you want me to do this?

1:31:42 I know. I got it. I got it already. We on camera. Colorful. All right. Let's take a look at these one at a time. Chris, you want to pull one of each out and let's get this camera down. Let's do this.

1:32:04 Let's prepare to be amazed.

1:32:11 That's going to help you with your combat.

1:32:16 You know, you end sentences in a way that I always think you're going to say more, but you don't.

1:32:20 Cuz because I'm thinking at the same time like, am I correct in saying that? I want to say I am.

1:32:24 You just make things up. It's okay. Let's get closer on this one. There's not a lot in this box. There's a lot of little pieces, but not a lot of unique pieces.

1:32:32 I've completely drawn a blank. I know all these, but now I'm like, "Ah,

1:32:35 it's okay, Chris. You don't have to lie."

1:32:38 He has li cuz the Borggan coffee audience is accepting of you and your faults.

1:32:44 This one's going to help you with income.

1:32:49 Is it?

1:32:49 They drive me nuts, these things, because I always have to pay a tax whenever I go to get resources off my planets, and I can't think of the name. It's drive cheap. No, I can't cheat. All right. Well, you don't know what this is, but look, it's a thing.

1:33:03 And as soon as I drive home, I'm going to say all these names and be like, really? Now you're going to Oh, engineering station.

1:33:11 Are you sure?

1:33:12 No. No. Not, but I'm pretty sure.

1:33:18 Looks like it's got a magazine in the bottom.

1:33:20 That's going to help you get your science. This one's going to help you get your uh

1:33:26 hula hoop class. This is a hula hoop university.

1:33:30 Extracting minerals from planets.

1:33:34 They teach hula hooping.

1:33:39 I'm annoying somebody.

1:33:40 Yeah, right. You people right now are freaking out going, "What are you doing?"

1:33:45 Good. So, we're good. That's it for that box. Next box.

1:33:49 Oh, we're opening up a whole new box now.

1:33:51 Okay. So, now this is interesting. Let me see. Hold on. We got to set the cameras up. Now, this is a mystery box. And I say that because Chris has no idea what's in here.

1:34:01 Well, sorry. I did remember what it could be, but like that's a big box.

1:34:05 What do you think it is?

1:34:06 Should just be extra dice because you recommended if you're going to get it, might as well get the extra dice so you don't have to keep passing around the dice. And I was like, that's a good idea.

1:34:15 All right.

1:34:16 But it seems like a big box for just some dice. I like I always get like for Massive Darkness I have all the extra dice and all like Zombie Side games on.

1:34:26 They gave me the Matt Dude. No way.

1:34:28 Did you pay for it? That's They give you things if you pay for them.

1:34:34 That's how That's how commerce works. [snorts]

1:34:38 Let's check out what we got here. All right. Oh, yeah. Extra dice. Okay. So, we don't need to open these cuz it looks like they're more of the exact same dice. It's not like a different version. No, they're the exact same thing. They look the exactly the same.

1:34:52 Okay, so those are cool. And oh, we got another one of these. This is purple. Why is this one purple?

1:34:58 That was one of the

1:34:59 It's a Kickstarter exclusive.

1:35:01 Yes,

1:35:02 a pink star. Looks a little more magenta. I'm getting more of a magenta vibe.

1:35:07 Yeah.

1:35:08 Than pink.

1:35:10 I don't know what the uh why they what they

1:35:13 What's the deal with this? Why

1:35:14 is the Citadel? Yeah.

1:35:16 But why why a pink one?

1:35:17 I don't know.

1:35:21 Hey, look. It's a suction cup. Is that what it's for?

1:35:25 Why is it supposed to suction too?

1:35:26 I don't know.

1:35:27 The board.

1:35:30 Or something you just put on your fridge. I don't know.

1:35:36 I don't understand what the suction cup's for. All right. Well, we've seen this before. This is just a uh You know, this makes it easy to spin, though. It's just a pink one. something we saw before. Okay. All right. Here's just I'll let you sort that out.

1:35:49 Yeah. Yeah. Put that aside for now. Uh we got a mat. We'll unroll that. We'll unfurl that in a second. And uh wow, that's a lot of There's a lot of empty box. That's a lot of like Okay, so uh let's unfurl it. What's the mat for?

1:36:09 Well, that's the thing is I think it's going to be the fighting mat. That's what I want to know for sure.

1:36:17 Ready? It's just black.

1:36:20 Oh, there's a mouse pad.

1:36:25 Is there a mouse pad for playing Eve Online?

1:36:28 I guess you need a pretty mouse pad.

1:36:32 Yeah.

1:36:32 All right. There you go.

1:36:33 I don't remember seeing that in the uh

1:36:35 Well, now you have one as a thank you from me to you.

1:36:38 Yeah. Thanks.

1:36:39 I made you that.

1:36:39 Thanks.
