Transcript
All right. And then so it was g g o o. That's what the cheerleaders would yell. And then we in the band we would yell let's goo goo.
And what did you play in the band? The big freaking nerd horn?
Uh I was on drum line. Jokes on you.
Oh, drum line.
We're We're doing a We're doing a We're trying to cold open.
I love it.
Um I'll I'll tell you the other one uh I'll take I'll take my answer to the other chant we used to do off the air.
Well, on that note, good morning, society, or goo morning.
Goo morning.
They're just noticing that the let's go has more than one o in it.
I want it on the record I'm not just noticing. This is just the first time I'm publicly commenting on it.
That's the first time I've called it goo rather than let's go.
Well, Mondays, am I right?
And that's right. Yeah, Mondays. A Garfield Mondays. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to another episode of Good Morning, Society. This is episode 103, your weekly dose of board games, beverages, and shenanigans.
What what?
I'm well Yeah, and you're all joined by
Bailey Meyers. That's me.
Yeah.
And the shenanigans.
Shenanigans. We hope you're doing well. We've got another great show today, packed full of board games, beverages, and shenanigans. I just repeated myself, but um yeah. Uh
Mondays, am I right? We can repeat anything we want.
We're So, what cheerleaders would say let's g g o Sorry.
Let's g g o o. Now, did you do like the hand motions, too, Ray, in the band?
what were the motions you were doing? And then we'll recreate them so that the people in [clears throat] the audience know what you're doing.
Now, if you're holding the big dumb nerd horn, how are you going to do hand motions, guys?
Oh, that's right. You're the
wake up.
This is what the big sousaphone horn looks like.
Like this and then you could go go. Let's go go.
real sousaphones, okay? We were not marching or holding.
So they actually did have their hands free.
Oh, nice.
We had 12 sousaphones. [snorts]
Oh my god, brag alert.
Yeah, how big was your band? All right, we're back on it. Forget it.
and nothing else.
And a someone playing the triangle.
Uh so I went to a high school of 1,200 kids in Southeastern Pennsylvania called Strath Haven High School. Uh we had 1,200 kids in the school. So that's 300 in each grade. Uh the marching band was typically 400.
400?
Yes, it was a third of the school.
Oh my goodness.
There were no cuts. Uh the band front was like the coolest. That's why the cheerleaders kind of we made fun of them a little bit because it was like the cool thing to do.
The cool thing to do was be on the band front and like be on the dance line of the band front.
Okay.
you're doing a reverse bullying. How cool.
Uh sorry, I'll I'll talk about my love for marching band anytime. Don't get me started.
I played violin in high school so I couldn't march with it. I also couldn't play the violin very well. So I couldn't really do anything with it.
I was I wasn't in band in high school. Yeah.
It's a hard instrument.
Dragon Ball Z says that's a marching army, Ray. That's not a marching band. That's a marching army.
one of our signature moves was when we would go to away games, you know, they put you in the stands.
Yeah.
Cross. Uh we would typically drown out the home band.
Woah.
If we played at the same time, we would drown them out.
Yeah, because there was 400 of you and so many of you had sousaphones.
Yeah, you're marching army of sousaphones. Uh friends, why don't we take a look at what's new on the channel? We've got lots happening there including a new play through of Bloodstone. Uh this is from Druid City Games. They just launched and they're already crushing their goals. Bloodstone is a terrific game. I got to play it about a month ago at a preview event. There's a designer and president of Drew City Games, James Hudson, who led me the way there with the crew. Yeah, such a great dice chucking fest with the minis and everything.
Yeah, I know all those people.
Yeah, such a terrific game. So check that out. It's a full on blaze play through of our one more game series where we play one more game.
Oh my god.
Were you able to play this game, Bailey?
Bloodstone? Um, no. I'm none of those people in the in the camera.
Oh, okay. I thought you might have played it off camera.
Sorry. I just reached for the unmute button and you guys can't hear this but there's screaming loud applause going on the soundboard.
Oh.
Sorry.
Was Oh, no.
Sorry everybody at home. I guess you have to hear it again. Turn it off.
Oh, no, Ray's fired.
All right. We need a new Ray. Does anyone know how to use a soundboard?
we have sound now on the videos. So sorry if we blew out your eardrums, but
But it was right after you said that we were just being mean to Ruell. I thought it was just loud applause.
Well, it was perfect then. Friends, so the shenanigans have started early as you can tell.
god. Right from the jump.
Yeah, but anyways, we got a bunch of other videos on the channel including a new play through of Mood Swings.
I'm in that one.
There we know those people right there.
people.
Before we Before we went live, I was commenting on handsome Ray's hoodie there. I love this hoodie.
Yes. It's cool how he let everyone know what a big Rick and Morty fan he was. He was unashamed. That his big his big mood during the shoot was unafraid to be who he was.
Oh, that's great.
In case you guys were wondering what Ray looks like from behind the camera, he is always wearing that hoodie.
That [ __ ]
I'm wearing that hoodie more often than not, I feel like.
I'm rounding up. I'm not making fun of him, I'm just saying that's literally exactly what he looks like all the time.
Yeah, and he does quite often uh rocks the hat backwards like that, very stylish. I like that.
You guys just trying to point out that I was not camera ready that day cuz that
was a surprise. It was a surprise that I was going to be in this video. Uh so Mood Swings, um can you talk talk a little bit about the game cuz I haven't played it yet?
Yeah, it is Magic the Gathering adjacent, but like who the hell is Jason? Am I right? But
You work it in, I love it.
But see, it's a game about your feelings. It's sold through Secret Lair, Wizards of the Coast, and I did a really good job in the game and you should watch the video. We had a lot of fun talking about our feelings and using weaponizing them against each other.
Nice. Check that out, folks. It's now live on the channel. That is our play through of Mood Swings with uh handsome Ray. I like how the things of on the socials and stuff, Ray, it's always handsome Ray now. It reminds me wasn't there a movie where there's the character was handsome
Handsome Rob from the Italian Job.
Italian Job. I didn't realize that it rhymed until I said it out loud.
Yeah. Handsome Rob from the Italian Job. Just like him and everywhere.
main character.
Yeah. I love I love cars and I'm good at cars and
Yeah.
and
That's why we pronounce it Good Times Societay.
Societay.
I'm just as attractive as Jason Statham. All right.
You're at you're the same height, so
No He's got to be like 6'2". He's got that
Jason Statham is not 6'2". That man has the hardest 5'9" energy I've ever seen in my life.
Well, do you know do you know Jason Statham's origin? Do you know what Jason Statham
England.
Well, well
up how tall he is.
He represented England as anybody?
Uh
Miss Universe?
Jason Statham Olympic diver.
Wow, yeah, that dude's short.
How tall Jason Statham
And I thought divers were like super tall or not being swimmers.
I was freaking so close.
5 10?
Well, you were exactly right because I'm 5 10, but thanks for taking it taking an inch off me there.
Nice.
That was the worst height I've ever gotten.
Yeah, I was going to say you can do a little better than that. Wow, 5 10.
I'm really good at knowing when men are the same height as each other.
I would have thought that Jason Statham was like 6 something, honestly. He looks so tall on the movies.
He'd seem less angry if he were taller.
Oh, yeah, maybe.
Well, that note, we have another game on the channel. Cataclysm Arcade, the TCG. This is a new one that we actually have a couple of videos on the channel right
And even though I'm in none of those videos, I have played this game and it is really, really fun.
Nice. This here is can we beat Brian David Marshall at his own game? Can we? You'll have to tune in and find out.
his game cuz he made the game.
Yes.
Yeah.
Along those lines, so we have that play through and then we also have Becca's how to play video also on Cataclysm Arcade.
Such a cool set. Everything is awesome on that one.
amazing.
Joe does does a good job, but man, that skull is so fun.
The skull, yeah. The little uh spear or whatever. Very cool. And then we have a third video in the series. This one is the can we play Cataclysm Arcade from a single booster pack? So, this one I'm really looking forward to checking out cuz that sounds like a really interesting concept. One booster pack and I don't know how it goes, but we're going to find out and I just noticed iffy shirt. I love that shirt of videos.
Oh, videos is so good. If anyone's ever in the LA area and you want to watch a movie that wasn't recently released in theaters, but you want to see it in a theater, videos is the spot.
Yeah. I I attended a birthday party there earlier this year, I think.
It's great.
Very cool spot. But yeah, check out the vid folks and find out if you can play from a single booster pack. My feelings are my I think you can you can't. I'm assuming you can.
it would be a pretty short video.
Yeah, it'd be no, and then that was the end of the video.
It just is everyone looks at the camera says no in unison and then it cuts to the next video.
Yeah. But yeah, so lots of new stuff on the channel. Be sure to check that out. Um
Hey Rowell, I just learned something.
Yeah, what did you learn, Ray?
Do you not close the videos when you're done showing them? Do you just switch tabs?
Um I close them.
Huh. There's like eight things coming out of your laptop. The sound experiment's going great.
Um I'm going to hit mute on my laptop.
no, I have already got you, but
Okay. Oh, that's weird because I did I shut them down. Do they continue playing?
Oh my god, it's like your laptop's haunted.

They've got a release coming out. Scouts Scouts versus the Mythos. I'm so excited.
Very cool, Bailey.
Uh, we do have a casting update for everyone. If you have our ticket holder, we just want to make sure everyone knows we had a little bit of a scheduling snafu. So, Jenny Dee is no longer going to be in it, but Louis Stardust is going to be filling her girl scout uh, sash or whatever the hell.
Um, and it's going to be so fun. And Jenny Dee's still making a special appearance because so it's even better than it's going was going to be before.
Awesome. Perfect. Yeah.
So, uh
Scouts the better.
Yeah, absolutely. Um, I think you're going to love Gen Con. It It's so it It's like if you've ever been to San Diego Comic-Con, okay, it's like that for board games and TT RPGs. Not quite as big, but it's still pretty big, so.
Well, when I was at San Diego San Diego Comic-Con, it was one time it was for my last job that I'm not going to mention out loud on here because I don't want to talk about the competition right now.
Uh-huh.
But I had [snorts] I was interviewing the cast of Archer for the final season.
What?
Yeah, that was my that was my like job I was doing that year, and I had a whole bit I was planning on doing where I was going to talk to everyone about the final season of Archer, but I was only going to ask H. Jon Benjamin questions about his experimental jazz album, and then he was unable to make it, so I just had to do a normal interview.
I'm so upset. I was like, "What a good bit!"
You should have just asked the rest of the cast about H. Jon Benjamin. About his jazz album.
It's called Jazz Daredevil, and the gist of it is is he does not know how to play the piano, but he has hired a full impro improvised jazz band to surround him while he like plays the plays the piano, and they make it actual music. It's kind of genius.
Okay.
But also I I I really wanted to earnestly talk about to him about it. Anyway, that's my story.
Nice.
Well, hopefully we have some fun bits like that at Gen Con this year.
Benjamin comes to Gen Con, I have questions for
We got questions H. Jon Benjamin.
I also interviewed Kesha about her ghost hunting show.
No what really Well, number one, Kesha, awesome. She had a ghost hunting show?
Yeah, it's called Conjuring Kesha, and for some reason they didn't spell Conjuring with a K.
It's the greatest show ever. It's on Discovery.
Wow. I I missed this
It's her and like her music friends, and each time she gets a new one, like GaTa's in an episode, and they like
go to a haunted like asylum, I think.
Oh.
my favorite bit was she goes to a haunted abandoned asylum and she stands outside and she goes, I don't know, guys. There's something about this place. I'm getting such a bad feeling.
Yes, Kesha probably.
You know what, Kesha? If you ever want to come down to the studio, come on and hang out with us.
to Gen Con. I have questions.
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah, woah.
I mean, we know H. Jon Benjamin isn't watching cuz he's so famous, but you guys cannot talk to Kesha like that. She You know she's in the chat. She's a big fan.
Kesha, I'm a big fan back. It's mutual.
[gasps]
Oh boy. Uh yeah, so
And those are my Comic-Con stories. Let's go to Gen Con.
Let's go to Gen Con. Yeah. Uh so again, the updates that you heard them, we'll talk about them again later, but hey, for now, why don't we um let's talk about
Well, I really wanted you to whip out a story about like the time you ran into Ryno Ken Mitia.
Yeah. Which I don't have
Can you tell your silly Gen Con celeb stories?
Uh yeah, I'll You know what? One day I will because I need to think of my Gen Con celebs. I don't have any like big-time Gen Con celebrity stories, but I I I can make one up.

Oh, okay. Yeah. Um I got to hang out with Eric LANG THERE.
GOSH.
PERFECT. SHOUT OUT TO ERIC. Eric's such a nice guy. Love Always seeing him at Gen Con.
Did you ask him about his ghost hunting show or what?
No, I was asking him about the experimental jazz album that Eric mentioned. Uh shout out to Eric. I I get to see him at every Gen Con. He's a wonderful human being. And he's the creator of one of my all-time favorite board games, Blood Rage. Uh
Oh.
Yeah. And he does all kinds of great stuff. Speaking of board games, Bailey.
my god, is that what we're talking about now?
Yeah, why don't we reach into our grab bag of games and talk about
Did Y'ALL HEAR THAT? IT SOUNDED LIKE IT HURT.
THE game didn't want to come out this time.
Oh my gosh.
It didn't really pull.
That oh no.
It's pride month, come on game.
Yeah, come on games.
Get it together, it's June.
Uh the first one I want to talk about are you okay? That sounded like it hurt.
What else is new?
What else is new is Robo Run. Robo Run is out now and it's available from Portal Games and this one I love the the tagline for this, escape a mechanical death trap in this silent two-player cooperative game.
Silent co-op?
That's
fun and hard.
That sounds crazy crazy hard crazy ridiculous but I was like
god, do you get to be one of the ro- oh my god, the two little ro- I you're one OF THEM?
YES.
THEY'RE SO CUTE.
You're all in, right? Yeah.
2 co-op, we're cute freaking robots.
Totally cute freaking robots. It's a campaign game so you're going to be going through different stories. It's two-player, each one each game is about 20 to 30 minutes so you can knock this out in a short period of time. Um I just once I saw the art I was like we got to talk about this somehow. Yeah, super cute. Um so the designer and the excuse me
[clears throat]
publisher of Portal Games Ignacy, his quote was Erica the designer brought me a game which remind me of Sky Team which we played here on the channel but this time it actually had this awesome vibe of old 2D video games. A board two robots and a puzzle to solve how to escape. I played it, I loved it, I wanted to publish it and that's the whole story.
That's so cool.
great?
it is kind of like Portal 2 co-op.
Yeah, so this one is now out. They didn't go to crowdfunding this, they just went straight to retail and you had me at the art Bailey and silent two-player board game with cute robots. I'm in.
I love that. The the very the conceit of it is so fun and interesting and I simply love a cute little robot.
Yeah, I love a silent in-person game. Do you guys ever play Chairman Mao?
No, what's Chairman Mao?
gosh, it's my favorite card game. Um I this is kind of spoilers, I guess, but the rules of Chairman Mao is that you're you say the only thing I can tell you is there's no talking.
Uh-huh.
And I can only tell you that there's no talking.
Interesting. And this is this named after the the Chinese Chairman
no, no, it's a different one.
Okay.
Oh.
What do you mean?
Not that Chairman Mao, the other one.
But then it has rules like like like maybe your King's Cup where every time you play every time somebody plays a jack, you have to do something, right?
Okay.
But you don't tell the new players.
I love that.
So everybody sits down, you're trying to remember the rules, you can't talk.
No, well you could make it
It feels like one, yeah.
Um Uh uh and and you you know, and when you don't do the rule if somebody doesn't do a rule, you hand them a penalty card.
Uh-huh.
And it's so fun to watch people try to figure out what the rules are and then get so angry every time they screw up and you hand them a penalty card. It's like one of the it's just so fun.
My favorite card game has a name I'm not allowed to say on this stream.
Oh.
Is it ERS?
No, it's um
start with a B?
Cuz I was like you could definitely say that.
Screw the dealer.
Oh.
And that is a drinking game.
Oh, okay. That was
It's really good. Have you ever played it?
I'm trying to think, is it the one where is it a high card type of game?
All you need is a deck of cards, normal deck of playing cards and a group of friends who are willing to get very drunk with you very quickly.
Okay.
Um so everyone takes turns being the dealer and then they go clockwise around the circle, and they deal to everyone. Uh Um the person that they're dealing to has to guess the top card in their hand.
Right.
The dealer looks and tells them if the card is higher or lower than their guess, and then they have to drink the difference between their guess and the actual card. And if they get it right, then the dealer drinks.
Oh.
I love how you're like, "I can't say a swear. We'll get demonetized. I can't talk about a drinking game."
They are They could be drinking anything, Ruel.
Drinking water.
Yes.
Hope it that that's you know what the thing is.
game.
It's a hydration game in which you are getting so hydrated in like 10 minutes.
Oh, well, that one's not on crowdfunding. Why don't we take a look at

So, it's almost like uh it got it gives me in sort of an escape room in a box vibes where you're, you know, getting different materials and trying to figure out what to do for the next stage. And they do have the hints, which I know I will have to use.
I won't.

Sorry, guys. Forgot we were just hanging out.
we're just hanging out in the grab bag of games. Um we can now move on in our adventure into the far future. The wilderness in the far future.
Ray still hasn't gotten the squirt bottle they used to spray me with anytime I bring up video games. So, I I can still do it.
We should have it like sitting right here.
It's right on the table.
Yeah.
It's right in front of you.
Right there. Yeah.
Fill it next time.
Yeah.
Coward.
Never mind. We're moving on. We're moving on. We're moving on. We're moving on to Earthborne Trailblazer.
Speaking of things that have funding.
Yeah, this one is crushing its funding goal. As they do our Earthborne games, look at this trailer. This
Oh my god.
this sort of like, I don't know, it's like '80s or '70s vibe, like the Hobbit vibe to that the trailer. Look at that.
Oh my god.
Beautiful.
Also, Earthborne Rangers, one of the first games we covered on Good Morning Society.
That's right.
Oh my god.
Yeah, a little throwback to the old studio and this is a new game. It's a standalone game by Andrew Fisher and MJ Newman from Earthborne Games. This is a one to five player game and this will be released next August.
It's a solo game. That's fine.
Yeah, I'm always down for that. It's an open world cooperative game. So, you'll be able to just go wherever you want and, you know, go adventuring and uh have encounters and you know, I love the cute critter meeples as well.
This looks amazing.
Yeah, now I think it's a play Earthborne Rangers, but everyone that's played has raved about. They loved it. So, I'm excited to check this one out as well, Earthborne Trailblazer, the next in the series of Earthborne games.
That's very neat and congrats them for also crushing their goal. I love seeing all these like interesting board games like making it.
And then I believe they are committed to sustainability as part of their thing. So, like
Correct. Oh, wow.
all the packaging is paper, it's recyclable, there's no single-use plastic. That's
That's amazing.
Yes.
Yeah.
Good Yeah, thanks for bringing that up, already. That's That's so true. So, yeah, Earthborne Rangers, check that out. And we're going to move on to the next game. Now, that was a pretty big game in size and scope and but we're going to go to the smaller end of the spectrum now, Bailey.
because I love when things are small, they feel so much more manageable.
Yes. Let's talk about some pocket-size games. Penny Stocks, Alphabet Soup, and Cat Jack. Not one, not two, but three pocket-size games.
Cute.
Yeah, super cute.
well, I don't have three pockets.
Um you could put two in one pocket, Bailey. Oh, no, one in each pocket and then you can hold one.
how many pockets You're wearing jeans. How many pockets are in them?
Right. Misogyny in clothing is really Let's talk about it later.
Oh. This is a Satchel game and you may be wondering what's a Satchel game. Well, I'm glad you asked, you well. A Satchel game is a new company that Tony, formerly of CGE, has started and he's focusing his company on these little small bag games, he's calling them. So, if you're thinking like Button Shy games, like 18-card games, they're about the same size, but these actually have little components in them. I love the little gift here.
He's like, "Look, you can put it in your pocket just like this."
Look at that. That is so smooth. That is so smooth.
demonstration is so fun.
Now, he has a multiple pockets, so perhaps he has multiple pockets.
on screen. I like that he appears to be doing this in his garage.
Yeah, it looks like a garage, right? Now, that's not Tony.
in my pocket.
Uh Tony actually gave us a demonstration of this at GAMA Expo this year and showed the games there. They are really tiny. They remind me of like little packs of cards where you just, you know, rip open the package, you're good to go.
I love that.
Yeah.
Are the bags reusable?
They are. I think I think they're zip lock like the zip lock style.
That's amazing. Eco-friendly stuff.
It really looks like you're supposed to tear them open like a bag of chips.
Right. Um that would be delicious.
Um I would eat those cards.
Oh, totally. Uh here's Penny's socks. Uh this is a one about investing. As you can see here minimal amount of cards but also like all the little tokens and everything. We have Cat Jack. Uh this is a 30-minute game two to five players. Uh push your luck game about a friendly cat and I know you're a cat fan.
I don't like friendly cats though. I like when they're mean.
Okay.
But it's fine. I'll play this game anyway.
I'm sure there's some mean cats. They're number Look at the number cute cats.
cute. I'm totally getting it like all the cats.
And finally Alphabet Soup. This is actually a little more a little longer game even though it's a small game where it's a word game two to four players and it's like alphabet soup. You have all the different letters.
god. I love a word game. Ru never lets us play word games on camera cuz he knows I'll kick his butt.
Oh, challenge accepted. I didn't know you like I know Becca is a big word game fan but you're also
I love word games.
Okay, word Have you played Paperback?
No.
Okay, coming soon on the channel Paperback. Bailey and I will be jacked up matched up in Paperback. Um it's a great game. It's like Dominion style deck building meets Scrabble.
Fun.
Best game ever. Uh but yeah, check out Alphabet Soup and Satchel Games that is now on Kickstarter. So it's a smaller goal and it's a small company that's Tony started and I want to see it grow because I love these type of games.
Yeah, I'm a big fan of this. I'm excited to check these out and put them in all of my pockets.
Yes. And speaking of Alphabet Soup, that was my favorite soup when I was a kid. I loved Alphabet Soup. Um but I could never get the letters to stay in the soup to make I tried to make words.
you were singing to this. I was like I can't wait to see how he's going
This is just a random factoid that I thought
alphabet soup? That was your favorite soup? Okay.
You know what I also loved when I was a little kid?
Magazines?
Reading magazines.
You You read my mind, Bailey.
Just like a magazine.
Yeah. Uh Casual Game Insider, they've been around for a while and they are celebrating their 15th year. So, shout out to Casual Game Insider. They're looking for funding for their 15th year to continue uh their coverage of the hobby. As you can see, there are tons of games they've covered over the 15 years and this is coming to Kickstarter soon. So, just wanted to give them a shout out, yeah.
it's so important to support uh print journalism and uh coverage of the things that you love because without it, we won't know what's going on. It's such a, you know, a lot of magazines have suffered a terrible fate over the years. This one's going into its 15th year. I think you should support it if you like to read and like to play games.
I agree. Well said, Bailey. Yeah, so Casual Game Insider, um check it out. It'll be launching soon on Kickstarter. Okay, well, we've talked about games. Um what do you think about playing one, Bailey?
My god, Will, I would love to play a game right now.
Okay.
As long as it's good.
It's going to be good.
It's going to be good. And And on that note, folks, it's time for our hour Jacked Up Match Up. Let's go on over to Play Games with very special guest Jake Michael.
Did you know that that's what happens? When they do the When they do the punching, we cut to this table.
I knew.
How's the How's work?
I'm just writing. It's good. Just writing a script for a how to play that I can't talk about.
Oh, I wish you we could show your screen. Just immediately. We just probably see a little bit.
Is this the seat you want to meet us in?
Yes.
It's all full of secrets.
All right. Today, Jake, um thanks for joining us today.
Thank you for having me, Will.
Thank you. I appreciate it for a good game. game.
Jake bonds in the
Yes.
chat
All right, I would like a birria burrito with black beans,
Ooh.
Wow.
sprinkle of garlic, some onions, uh chopped fresh tomatoes, please cubed,
cubed
and um Monterey cheese.
know Taco Bell has a shredded beef dipping burrito? They can't call it birria legally.
Really? They can't?
Cuz it's not
Because it's not birria.
They're like, "No, we couldn't possibly. We're Taco Bell. It's shredded beef."
Shredded beef Oh,
It is good.
So, they have like a little cup of what is it, consommé or whatever they
It It's called red sauce.
Red sauce.
I had it the other day for dinner and it ripped.
Really? It was good?
Yeah.
Oh, nice. Um friends, we've got uh Nunatak.
NUNATAK
NUNATAK
NUNATAK
[screaming]
THE TEMPLE of Ice.
And we know this is a real word.
Yes, we dove into the etymology of this.
to make sure we were pronouncing it right.
Yeah, and I believe we are.
I believe we are.
Nunatak Uh but uh this is a game uh called the Nunatak: The Temple of Ice. So, we're going to be building our Temple of Ice using these little blocks here and it's a little bit of uh set collection and also tile laying, but in this case the tiles are going to go on top of our um little blocks of ice. We're going to continue until we have this whole temple built. Yeah. And uh we're going to have this really cool uh view as well that you're going to see the 3D element of the game.
My favorite part is when you let the thing go and then the trap captures the mouse.
That's such a great game.
Harry's in for 1,000 years.
Yes.
You want to show the scoring?
Yeah. So, uh the different types of scoring are um going to be shown in just a second here.
Raise hand is appearing in the wild area of the
Oh, there it is.
It's a spider.
Uh-huh. Look at those calluses. Get it get in there.
Look at that.
Pokey pokey.
Ow, it hurts.
Oh, there it yeah.
Yeah, sorry about my
Oh, it's okay.
What did you do?
Yeah, what was that?
I have a skin condition.
Oh.
Oh.
What did you do? I WAS BORN
I ACTUALLY you want to hear the story? It's a fun story. Um nobody can hear me.
OH.
I KNOW.
THAT WAS the fun story everybody.
Great story, right?
I just talked directly into Ru Well's microphone.
Do you ever uh you know when you like tighten the chuck on a drill? Do you ever do it instead of doing it with your hands do you ever do it with the motor of the drill?
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Have you done that with a strange drill that you've never used before cuz it might be way more powerful than you think and you might get uh second degree burns here.
Oh.
OH MY GOD.
AND THEN you'll have a skin condition for the rest of your life.
Oh my goodness.
Woah, that's interesting.
That's [clears throat] painful.
It's like almost like a curse.
This is why I never do anything.
That's why your hands are as soft as butter.
Yes, cuz I've never worked a day in my life.
Sweet. So we have a sweet We have a sweet angle, but you guys are going to have to deal with seeing the lens of the camera.
I like it.
the camera. It adds character.
Oh, okay.
A certain a certain artistic camera.
Artistic camera.
It'll [snorts] be worth it when we see the other shots.
Sorry, I'm feeling very French. I was playing Claire's Scare Expedition 33 yesterday, which if you read our if you read our newsletter if you read our newsletter that's the one I talk about. I was doing a normal one a normal transition. By the way, read our weekly newsletter.
Yeah, sign up for that.
find out what's going on in Bailey's Gamer Zone.
I was doing a normal transition she shouted.
Uh new to talk uh friends on what we're going to be doing is taking one of these uh cards here in our hand and then depending on the symbol, we're going to place one of our ice blocks on the matching symbol on the board here. This have been randomly set up by the lovely Jake Michaels [clears throat] and after you do that, you're just going to put this in front of you cuz you're building a tableau. This tableau is going to score at the end and this are the different things that we're going to score. All right. So, the builder, the sculptor, artisan, etc. Some of these
Beast of burden by the song.
Uh the beast of burden. Yes, by the Rolling Stones. Yeah. Wow, look at that.
All right, how's it go? Uh we might get a copyright strike on that.
We've got builder some of these have special abilities such as the builder when you place that there, the builder you may swap a free floor tile for the builder. So, you may swap this around in the area you'd be able to take it apart. Okay. Uh next up the sculptor. This is you're just getting points based on how many sculptors you have.
you a lot of bananas points there. 75 points if you get if you get all 10. Crazy. Are there only how many are in the deck?
Actually, I don't know. So, if you get 10, yeah.
Here, I'll give you the rule book while you're
I bet anything there's at least 10.
Yeah. The artisan. This one scores in two different ways. So, the first way is the number of for each symbol. There are three different artisan symbols, the pickaxe, the rope and I don't know what is that other thing. Looks like a spoon.
Um I don't know, Ru well.
Yeah. Okay, anyways, those three
Is it a harpoon?
Is it a harpoon?
No, like artisan.
Yeah.
Okay.
It's an ice
Ice pick, rope and it looks like a thing that you use use to spread a cake
Yeah, it's a butter knife. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I know what you're talking about, the frosting spatula.
yeah. So, okay.
frosting spatula.
Okay, so if you have a frosting spatula, it's worth one uh zero points, but if you get more than one, you'll get those points. And then on top of that, for every complete set of three, a pickaxe, a rope, and a butter spatula, you will get 10 points per set.
Cool. Cool. Cool.
Okay. Next up is a
Is it a burning
Yeah.
Nice.
Uh these are cards multiplied by the number of symbols. So, you will see the the suburban symbol on a card, and then the number of those is you're going to multiply by how many you have in your tableau. So, you'll say if I have like two cards, but three symbols, two times three is
Six points.
Nice.
Good math.
Look at the math thing.
doing like animal husbandry if that's your bit.
Oh, animal husbandry. Um
You said that like a person who doesn't know what animal husbandry is.
You totally knew that.
you think animal husbandry is?
Is it something to do with the mating rituals of animals?
That's a fair guess.
It's close.
Husbandry is there a wife or a
a lot.
That's what he calls it. It's mating rituals.
He's like, well, they have to be in love first.
Then they have to get engaged.
light a candle in the barn. Put some rose petals in the hay.
What is animal husbandry, then?
you make animals do the nasty with each other so that they make more animals.
Isn't that called breeding?
Well, no, I don't think that's true either. No, that's not That's not how I would define animal husbandry.
That's absolutely That's absolutely what it is.
It's more general than that. It's like the caring of animals.
No.
The caring of animals.
Yeah, like you take care of and just
I don't CARE. I DON'T KNOW.
WOW.
THIS IS THE PG-13 STUFF. I CAN'T describe it.
Human husbandry is what
I can't even say one word. I can't be sexual contact.
So tired, chat. No, I think animal husbandry is Yeah, you you care for the animals and you are you literally use them for work like a beast of burden or or maybe livestock or whatever, but it's the taking care of
Got it.
Is that That's a fair definition of it?
style.
And also making them quote do it animal style. And then it's just doing it animal style.
Bounce on it backwards, says Lily Myers.
Let's continue with the scoring.
put words in her mouth there.
Yeah.
We don't quote her on that one.
They can't all do that logistically.
All right, let's go through the ones that can and can't.
Okay. Okay. Uh the other scoring options are the architect. The architect card The card's number
For every architect you have in your tableau, you will multiply by the number that you have reached on the architect track. We each have an architect track in front of us and those cards will uh certain things will allow us to move it up here. At the end of the game, when you have architect cards, you'll multiply them by the number you've reached. If you land on a spot that has no number, you'll just bump down to the lowest one available, next lowest one. And finally, the elder. You're going to get a point for the matching symbol on the elder card. Uh there's usually two of them, elder card and something else. Um and then you'll get uh points for each one you have.
So, this one would gain and you would gain one point for each of your sculptors and one point for each of your artisans. No, what are the other ones?
Uh architect, yes.
But not But elders don't score anything on their own. They just score for other for sits that they represent. Additionally, when you take an elder, uh you get to choose one of these two blessing cards. Is that right?
so the blessing cards will give you additional abilities and or scoring options. These can go immediately or at the end of the game, just depending on the type of cards. We'll talk about those as they pop up. And finally, the final scoring condition is down here. There are six different types of card. If you have each one of those cards, you get 10 points for every set, complete set. All right.
Okay, so you're going for every single one of these points possibilities.
Additional, additional, yeah.
There's a couple There's a couple other rules that we haven't mentioned yet, which is the placement of these little buildings here. So, you're going to be getting points in your tableau in the end of the game, but also every time you take one of these people, you're going to place um one of your buildings into a I onto an icon that matches the card that you took. So, if you took the Beast of Burden for instance and wanted to practice animal husbandry
There are other ways to
Uh you place it there and nothing occurs now. However, on future turns, if there were four of them in a square um then uh this square would be complete.
[gasps]
And therefore
this over.
Oh, it fits right in.
Yeah.
Oh, that's so sick.
Was that nice?
My god, I love building stuff.
Um which reveal new icon. Additionally, the person who has the most represented uh supports gets five points and second most gets two points.
Correct.
And there's one other rule.
If it's a tie, then you'll split the the points between those players. So, if two players are in second place, they each both get one point. So, I divide the two into one each.
Yes, except if it's your turn. So, if you and I were tied for first, like let's say we each had two here, and it's my turn, I get five points, you get two.
Oh.
Ties are broken by turn order.
Oh, that's right. Yeah, by yes, active player.
the There is one other thing that we move our architect thing, don't we?
Uh yeah, if you complete a row. So, if you complete a row with these, then you'll just bump it up one. Uh you can like if you happen to complete two at the same time, you'll bump it up twice.
Is that the only way for the architect to go up?
there are cards as well. There might be a card, yeah. Cuz you wouldn't really bump up.
You do this, can you even complete this row at this point?
Not yet, but I'm saying like let's say there was a building here and here and you Bailey put a building right here, that completes this row giving you an architect point.
Oh, oh my okay. I'm I'm getting it.
Um I don't Yes, I I think we have to play through it to get a little bit cuz I don't actually understand how many architect points we can get.
Yeah. Uh we'll find out.
We'll find out today.
Uh Jake, would you like to read the first player rule? Uh we learned about this yesterday. The first player is the person who
The coolest player gets the first player token and begins.
We both looked at Bailey right now.
What?
We saw your reaction cuz we knew it.
Oh, yeah.
I know that I look very cool today, but
on, the guard building Show off the sweater again.
Yeah.
Sweater is in my right?
Anybody who has a 3D meatball on their shirt is the coolest I think, but
Yeah, this is
You and I are pretty friendly popping over here.
I got it at a flea market like a vintage market or whatever and I was trying to haggle and she was like I put the yarn on myself and then I was like I will give you more money.
This is good.
Yeah, that's great.
Thank you.
So yeah, you're definitely the coolest. You have the coolest sweater, so
Thanks.
You're going to go first, Bailey.
That's cool. I love going first in a game that I've just learned 20 seconds ago. That's cool and good.
On the turn over view, you'll be able to see what you do on your turn.
Okay, so the first thing I'm going to do is take one face up building card from the display and place it in my personal area.
Punch in a little bit. Ray, it's the widest of the wide, isn't it? There we go, yeah. All right.
Okay.
So you take one of these cards here and that's what's going to tell you where to place an ice block as well.
Okay.
And then on the other Yeah, the reverse side that's going to have your scoring conditions for each card. Again, we're going to be doing that at the end. Uh the set collection in this game.
Okay. I'm going to take this sculptor card.
Got to be some burden, huh? Thought for sure you're going to have to sing a little song.
I don't want to sing anymore.
Okay,
I'm going to take sculptor because looking at this, I understand the points on it.
Yes. Yes. It's so straightforward.
Then place one ice block on a suitable floor tile. Well, I'm going to put it right in this corner here.
Okay.
Feels good to me.
There you go. Matching the sculptor.
Mhm.
That's your new turn.
And that's my turn.
Yeah. Well, you would you would check if you completed a row or not or you would score that, but now you just replenish the
I don't get a point. I just replenish the supply. We move along.
Correct.
Great.
Turns should be going pretty quickly here.
There we go.
I'm learning well.
That wasn't targeted. That wasn't targeted.
She's so cool, but I wish she were faster on her turns. I just got here.
Oh, that totally came off the I I didn't mean it like that. Uh you're doing excellent.
You're doing so good.
Yeah.
Great. Well, I'm going to take this builder card. And builder cards, if you want to put this right here, oops, right at the bottom, show them that. Um builder cards allow a player to swap a free floor tile with another with the builder symbol from another floor tile
Mhm.
before you place your blocks. I'm going to go to doink.
Oh, look at this guy.
fun.
Well done.
Turning you over here, Bailey.
That's smart.
Yes. Um and I think that is my turn.
All right.
Um
My turn.
Look what I'm going to take, Bailey.
Flip the top down.
Mhm.
Just the burden.
Can you flip the top down so they can kind of see the cards a little better?
I can. You guys will be backwards.
Yeah, I think the backwards I'm going to I'm going to live with it.
Let's Let's see if it's
Just the way I think.
If chat, if you throw up from this, just let us know, okay?
You have to type in the chat.
You have to say I threw up.
I've I've taken my turn. I've done the Beast of Burden. Placed my ice block there.
be there though.
Revealed.
interesting.
The elder. So, if you place this at the end of your turn, you'll receive one of the blessing cards here.
That's fine. I'm going to take that.
Yeah.
I want it.
Yeah.
I just became older and therefore I'm an elder now.
I'm going to take that. I'm going to put my building
Oh, no.
Look at that.
Oh my god.
Hey, well timed. We've completed a block or is it called a block? No, we have completed um
A square.
A square. A 2 by 2 square. So, you're going to gain one point for each of the supporting blocks. So, one, two. So, there's markers there.
Uh that's your architect real points here.
I don't know what I'm doing.
No, you're great. You're great.
I'm learning.
Um so, you she gets two points. Um and then she also we get to score points and place a new floor tile, right?
Correct. So, uh we have not completed a row or column yet. Uh so, if it's a two uh 2 by 2, then the player with the most ice blocks gets five points.
That's Bailey.
Bailey, yeah.
Oh my god, that's me.
Two points for the player with the second most.
We're tied. It is neither of our turns, so we do get one point.
Do I get I get one of these blessings cuz I took the elder or Oh, that's very exciting.
At the end of your turn you do, which is now.
That is now. Uh I'm going to take the blessing of adornment.
Okay.
That seems good to me.
Yep. And then just refill as we go here. Oh, blessing of adornment. What does that do?
end of scoring, you may score your sculptors according to this table.
Oh.
And that is more
Oh my god.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah.
I thought how good.
Yeah.
I will take for me.
done. Next blessing up.
Elders are cool.
Elders are cool. I I'm always saying this. Uh blessing of expansion is the new one. When a 2x2 square is complete, you receive nine points if you own three of the ice blocks. You don't own all four ice blocks, then you receive 12.
Woah. Very nice.
That seems tough to do, but seems like it'll pay off if you get it.
We also had the blessing of luck. That one is just straight up at the end of game.
That was six points. Three six points.
I like that.
I was taking a chance blessing of a dormant. I was like, I can remember to do math or something.
Uh I'll try.
Flip the cards.
Yeah?
Yeah.
But then I can't read No, it's getting I'm reading it. I know what it says.
Like that, right?
Yeah.
Okay. Great.
Hey, cool.
Um I'm going to take this artisan that was right here.
Okay.
And um that's a pickaxe artisan, and I can place them anywhere. So, I'll go over in this corner here.
Cool.
Okay. Let's reveal a new card.
Builder.
Builder. Um you know what? I want another beast of burden.
You're right.
Sing it. Sing it in the key of E. The key of E. Uh you know what? I'm going to go over here and put the beast of burden way up there. And reveal new card. The elder.
Now we can place up here if we want, right?
Correct.
Um I'm going to take the elder card again.
Yeah?
Yeah.
A second elder has hit my tableau. Uh and I am going to take six free freaking points.
Nice.
So, the new blessing is the blessing of the moon. Exchange one of your free ice blocks with a free ice block of another person.
Oh, that's cool. That's cool.
So, that is a That says 1x on the bottom of it, and that means it can be used. It cannot be used on the turn you acquire it.
Correct.
I'm going to put this Mhm, here.
Mhm.
This is where I'm going to put this.
All right. Mhm. Okay. Well, it's all architects, unfortunately. This is kind of a bummer. But, we can change that by taking a builder.
Hey.
So, I'm going to take a builder, and I'm going to change this spot with this spot.
Oh, well done.
I'm going to place here and complete this row for my first architect point of one. Um
Nice.
And that's it.
There's got to be more ways to get architects, no?
I did not see them.
Just uh okay.
I mean, maybe.
Maybe.
Maybe.
Okay.
But, I don't know. The only abilities are the builder builder and the elder. It feels like the elder's really freaking good.
Yeah.
That's why I took two of them.
That's what Yeah, once you second took that second one, I was like, "Uh-oh. We need to be doing those getting those cards." Um while you guys look at that, I'm going to go with Who do I do the builder now and go over there? Perhaps I do. Or maybe Um all builders earn most points. Jake's already got two, so I'll jump in this game. Uh I'm going to take a builder.
No. Get out of here.
And this is where I can move a builder, Tom. But, you know what? I'm Yeah.
No.
You know, I could just put it here, but why not move something? Just because I can.
Just because I can.
That's how building works.
Yes. Okay. And that's my turn. I'll flip this over. Sculptor.
Why that? You just dealt that to her?
Yeah. Is that the one you're looking for? Yeah.
Unfortunately, I am going to take that is the thing. Where where put? I put I put here.
Yay.
Yeah. I I
Completing that square?
I don't fully understand this game, but I feel like I'm winning.
you are understanding
You are understanding how to win, yes.
Uh that's
So then that's points for Bailey?
That's two points for Bailey because you get a point for each support structure.
Cool. One, two.
Uh you did not complete a row, um but we completed the square. You got five points from that because you are the majority holder, and Will and I each get one.
Wow.
Annoying.
Yeah, very.
Yeah.
Next?
But well done.
Thank you.
Um artisan, that works for me. I'll take the artisan. Uh which is a rope artisan, and they're going to go right here. Oh, that's yours.
Aha, you can do that if you want.
I don't want to do that.
We But we can go splitsies on this building.
Oh man, I'm not going to gain points off this. Dang.
to complete uh a square.
So we each get points equally for that one, right?
You place a suitable fort tile. Wait a second. Wait a second. Wait a second. Wait a second. Wait a second. Wait a second. Wait a second. Wait a second.
The one of the most important rule of the of Nunatak is no takesies backsies.
No takesies backsies.
No takesies backsies.
Wait. Do you know you get immediately upon placing Oh, I get it. We've been doing this wrong. The first The first two points is incorrect.
right. Yes.
Um so we All we got to do is just take four of Bailey's points away from her.
Wow, okay. Freaking
And then we can finally
Yes, you're right.
Okay, so the reason I was saying that is you gain one of one point for each of your supporting ice blocks, which means if you place here, you will get one point.
Ooh.
On here, it's each of the ones that you place supporting the one under. No one is supporting these cuz they're on the bottom floor.
I see. I see. I see.
But that's it. I was like, this game feels like she's running away. But you still get the crazy five-pointers that we and we just got the stupid one-pointers.
No, so speaking of the crazy five-pointers, just reread this. If you complete a 2 by 2 square, one, two,
No, no.
right?
2 by 2.
Oh, is it these are 2
Yeah.
by 2. Okay, got it. Okay, then yeah.
That will be true here up in the lower left.
So since it's but since it's your turn and you completed that square, even though we tied, you get five points and I get two.
Correct. Correct. So I am light blue bringing me to seven and you get two points.
Yes, bringing me to 12.
That's the correct way to score this game.
Thank you.
Yes. Um, replenish the display. We're good to go.
Artisan.
Cool. Love it. Interesting. Is it my turn?
It is your turn, [clears throat] Ruel.
Oh, I'm going to take THAT ARTISAN. OH, YEAH.
DANG IT.
ALL RIGHT. Going right there.
You just gave that building to Jake. That's Fine.
to do that?
Yeah, why would you do that, Ruel?
I was also Well, it's because I want to get in on this cuz if I don't put this here, I'm not going to get any Well, how many points do I
not going to get any
Yeah, maybe I don't want to do that.
you should forge a building elsewhere for you, pal.
I do that? What There's Where was the others? Oh, yeah, you know what?
Yeah, like
Pretend you didn't see. I'm going right here. What are you doing over there? Geez. Much better.
That was a crazy choice, Ruel.
Thank you, Bailey.
Yeah.
Okay. Uh, then we reveal this. Artisan. Another one.
I think I am going to go for the artisan. Um, I'm just fine. Taking that. Um, and I am going to put my building there, though. Is the thing about that. So it's a tie, so I get five points and Jake gets two points.
Two, correct. Correct. 17. You're nailing the math so far. I got two. Um and that's that. Uh replenish. It's a beast of burden. I will take an architect. No one's bothered yet. Um that will put this here completing this row for another architect point. Hopefully. Done.
Um hm I'm going all in with beast of burden stuff. I might as well continue.
But it's also based on like what you can play out here. Like your tableau is one thing, but what's going on out there?
Yeah, what's going on here? Do we go here? Okay.
What an interesting choice, Rowell.
Yeah.
Oh, that's an um
Oh, there's a beast of burden with two symbols.
That's an um audacious choice, actually.
Yeah.
Yes.
Okay, Bailey.
Okay, I'm deciding. I'm going to take I'm going to get in on
This is a rulebook, please.
Uh
Which question? Thanks.
Let's see.
Um
I think I want to get in on this beast of burden action.
Sporting nice bucks. So, make sure you're doing sporting nice bucks.
Has anybody in chat played this game? I have never seen this game before.
This is new to me, as well.
Yeah.
Shout out to Cosmos for the copy.
Take this uh cute little corner here.
What?
I like it here. I like it there.
Okay.
it's nice.
Okay, six. Five. Okay, so I'm taking my six.
Right. Um sculptor is an option as is art. Um I think we architect to get the points away from Oh, going going in the center is interesting. This game is confounding.
It's Yeah, it's an interesting game, right? Okay, let's do builder, actually.
I think that's maybe a good call.
And then we go to party town here. Yeah. Can you bring me a two and then yeah.
Okay.
No, I completed Well, this is Both of these are complete now. So,
We are complete.
Yes, we are complete. That is That is true.
god.
So,
What a move.
this will score first for I get five, you each get one.
Okay.
One for Will, one for you, five for Will.
Okay. Next one, where do you want to go?
Uh here.
Okay.
Uh same thing occurs. I get five.
Well, that's unacceptable.
one. Oops.
I got one.
You get one. Don't feel bad.
Will.
I know.
And then right here.
Okay.
But Will will get five.
Yay.
Actually, I got five.
get two.
Okay.
And that should complete my turn.
Mhm.
Ooh, that felt good. Ooh, that felt good.
Very nice. Okay. Why don't we do this? Um I am going to take an architect. And we're going to go down here or up here. Going to complete these two rows.
Oh, wow.
So, two on the architect bump. One, two.
Technical director Ray Rayburg, everybody.
Oh, very nice, Ray. And then we
It's exactly blocking you.
I feel like Mike Wazowski.
I've added this here, so I get uh five points.
Good job.
Finally.
And two for me.
Two for you.
Bubba Winky.
And I race scored my two rows, so I moved up on the architect track.
Oh, yeah. I did an architect.
Okay.
Oh, nice. You did an arc
Yeah, so a row This one completed, and then this one.
I I completed I completed this one.
No, but you did No, but you were right. You did this one and then this one, right? When was this one completed?
Oh, did I? No. So, I did this one. I only did one, so one there.
Okay. Well, we have not given the proper due for somebody. It's either Bailey or myself who completed this row.
It's orange, right?
Oh, then was me. I completed a row. That's exciting.
Yeah, because you put out one.
That's true. I did do that.
Correct. So, you got one.
architect point. Yeah.
Aren't you glad we went over that again?
Yes.
Yeah. It's pretty good. Uh okay, I'm going to take a sculptor.
Oh, another sculptor.
Yeah, I just want a sculptor.
Yeah.
Sculptor, I hardly know her.
Well, then. Sculptor, artisan, architect. Mhm.
Sculptor, artisan, architect. I hardly know her. Artisan, architect.
I think we sculptor. Um to well, artisan's so nice. Sculptor points are very small. Ah, whatever. Uh we'll sculptor to go here.
Okay.
And if you can give me another two. So, once the twos run out, we start with the threes.
Correct.
Okay, it's not like third floor. It's just the threes begin. Okay. Um that scores me five points and you two points. One, two for Will, five points for Jake.
All right.
Interesting.
Interesting.
Interesting. Oh, I love these bees we're in, but I'm going to take the artisan. Okay, artisan. Cuz that's going to go there and allow me to complete this row.
Mhm.
Ah, damn it. I should have seen that.
And then this one
Ah, damn it.
shows up. So, I will get five and Jake will get two.
One. 30? Okay.
Elder Oh.
Okay, I want that, but I am going to instead do something else. Um
I kind of want that though. Hold on. Wait, let me look at this.
Is it possible the chat's froze?
Yeah, I think I Okay. I think I'm going to take the other. I think I'm reading it and I think it's funny and good if I take this.
Okay.
So, I'm going to. Um and I'm going to take the blessing of expansion.
That can be used on any future turn and once per game. If you decide
Once per game?
Yes, I believe. That's why the one X happens.
X.
Um
Oh, I see. Okay.
You can also choose not to use it and you will get two points in the end of the game if you want.
Correct.
Okay. Uh well
You can You can also choose the other thing if you don't want. Now that you know that, this is also the same condition. It's a one X.
No.
Bailey said
No. There you are.
All right.
Okay.
Uh refill.
Oh, sorry. Yes.
All good.
Thank you.
Um
new blessing is the blessing of discovery. Before you take one building card from the display, add up to three additional cards. Only replenish the display when it has fewer than four cards.
Okay. All right. I 100% need to take this architect, so I will. Placing them here, completing three zones.
Wow.
I get five points though, right? And actually I get 10 points.
Let's do this first one first. So, you'll get two points here or let's bring up that two tile for me.
Mhm.
Uh you will indeed get five points here, Bailey.
That's exciting. I love that for me.
Uh 24. I uh It's my turn, so uh he and I are tied and because it's my turn, I break that tie, so I get two points.
Doink. Doink.
Then over here, we complete a zone. Let's bring our first three into the game, which I think has Oh, it's just a sculptor. Boring. Um however, uh it's my turn, so I break that tie.
two points.
I get five points.
Nice.
You get two. That's right, Bailey. You were orange.
I'm so good at math.
And finally, right here, um I have also won for another five points, bringing you to 42. You guys have tied. It's neither of your turns, so you each get one point.
Okay. You also completed this row, architect.
much for that, but bingo.
Well done. Nice turn, Jake.
That felt good.
My turn.
Yeah. We're all just working on our stuff.
Be some burden.
Yeah, it's our burden.
Uh, so I'm going to take
He's got a lot of those cards.
I'm going to build right there.
Oh, interesting. Oh, we're going up. Up, it's our moment.
All right.
Yeah, uh, to be clear, you can't draft a card that doesn't have a visible symbol.
Correct.
Interesting.
Um, okay.
Mm, I totally blew it. That should have been ice. I should have gone somewhere else. Yeah.
I'm going to take the artisan. Um, and I'm going to put my orange guy right here, completing two rows.
Oh.
Nice.
Pretty good. And then also this building, so I get five points.
So you're giving yourself your two, then your architect. Okay.
Next up.
You get five points for your 32. Uh, we tie. It's neither of our turns, so we each get one point.
Okay.
Um, you may swap a free floor tile with a builder symbol with any other free tile in the temple before you place your ice blocks. So, with the builder, can I move a ti- like these two?
That's what I was just thinking of, cuz I cuz I forgot that I I did my turn too quickly. I didn't look at where I should have gone. I should have gone right there. Repeat that, but now Jake is uh, what's the name of the of the card again? Bless you.
The
wondering, out of curiosity.
Show it to um, chat actually in that little thing here. Let's look at it together.
can I play this at any time, or does it have to be my turn?
When a two by two square is complete, you receive three you receive nine points if you own three of the ice blocks. If you own all four, you receive 12. Oh, cool. I don't think it it needs to be on your turn. Wow.
That's interesting. I was just thinking about it.
condition just says when it's completed, not necessarily when you complete.
Killer.
Jake, it doesn't say anything. It says
they're both considered free, so I think I'm allowed to do it.
it doesn't say anything like level. It says you may swap a free floor tile showing a builder symbol with any other free floor tile in the temple before you place your ice block. Yeah.
say what floor. Okay. So, I'm going to
if it has no ice block on it ready.
I'll acquire a builder.
Dang it. Well done. That cost me the game. No, it didn't. It totally cost me the game.
No, shut up.
I quit. I quit playing I quit board games. I quit playing I quit board games forever.
I'm moving to Dodger Stadium. I'm living in between the stands. Um, so I'm going to here.
Okay, I'm going to play my blessing of expansion to acquire nine points for winning that.
Okay. So, we'll Yeah, let's do this one first. So, give me a three right there, please. Thank you. Uh, this will score what would be five for Bailey, but because of her cool cards, which she's going to spend, it's going to cost it give her nine. Nine points, right?
Yes.
Cuz you feel in three of them?
Yes.
All right. 41, well done. Uh, I get second place for two. Um, yeah, that sounds good. That sounds right. Um, I was on a 42, so I get 44. Um, and then this one scores, and I am uh, the active player, so I will get five points, bringing me to 49, and Bailey gets two.
Yay. Nice.
And that's the turn.
And you got your architect points for finishing those rows.
not it. One, two.
That's what I should have done.
Ew.
The reason I did it.
Yep. Oh, look at that. The Beast of Burden is calling yet again.
Oh, three of them?
lot of that.
Woah.
See, I was so excited about that, then.
higher-level cards have more things.
Yes.
Oh my gosh, that's really cool.
the Beast of Burden, you're going to multiply the number of cards I have, which are five, times the number of symbols, which is a few more than five.
Yes. I see I see that.
That's so interesting, Ru El. I'm going to take a sculptor.
Mhm.
Ooh, sculptors. Oh, man. How many do you have? You have four?
Mhm. This is actually what you're going to be using to score.
Oh, that's right. Oh, Bailey gets the better scoring.
Um your your supporting piece here. So, you place here, which means you also get a point.
Oh, I get a point.
Remember the supporting piece is supporting ice blocks.
Okay.
You will also get three points here. So, let's do Ru El's one point from his previous turn.
score this one.
you another one.
Thank you.
And then you placing it here, you get one, two, three points.
I placed it correctly.
Well done.
I think we can all agree that I'm doing a great job at this game that I don't totally understand yet.
You're winning.
I'm winning.
Um elders. A I don't like those elders though. What is the Will you show me the blessings of discovery on the old short super camera? What is it?
Before you take one building card from the display, add up to three additional cards. Only replenish the display when it has fewer than four cards. Boring, boring, boring. And then
cool. You have all these end game point ones.
And then the blessing of the moon, exchange one of your free ice blocks with a free ice block of another person.
pretty good. I like that one.
Yeah.
Holder symbol. That was kind of boring. Let's do another symbol. Scoring me two points.
Bingo.
Okay.
51. Thank you. The I'll I'll let you be in charge of it.
Yeah, I'll take over on this side then.
Um that's my turn. Of course. Of Who Who happened to catch that? Was it Dwery? Nope, [snorts] it was Patrick Happener. Thanks, Patrick. Good catch.
Okay. Um I don't have Hold on. What do the score at the end? Most
You get two points for builder if you don't get more than me.
Mhm, he got two of them. All right, I got four of them really.
You got four of them?
You said the word two, but I think you meant four.
Woah. Okay.
That feels catch up able.
Yeah. Now the elders like the I get that one to actually win here. Yeah, okay.
Me though, I'm mustard able.
Mustard able. I'll take this builder.
Mhm, relish able is a good
Do I want to move anything is the question. I don't. I'm just going to place it here.
Ooh, pretty good for two points.
Two points.
Uh way over here man.
Yeah, I'm still on that side. And then we place this here.
Uh completing that giving you another five points for being primary person there. Uh giving me two points if you would.
Okay.
Uh it's a good position to be in in the center cuz you're getting a good bite at the apple on every corner there.
Yeah, that's what I feel like.
That's true. I'm going to take this sculptor.
Which is why I left that open earlier for you because I was so focused on getting in the middle I forgot that hey I I'm going to get points over there too.
I get two points for this, right?
Yep, that's right. Bringing you to 48.
Um Uh yeah, we architect. We are architecting. Um oh. But
[clears throat]
Completing rows is so good though you guys. Completing rows.
Rows is nice.
have to architect. We'll do it over here.
Okay.
Mhm, we'll do it.
Hey.
More architect.
Mhm. I do want to get on that elder action. Even though this one is like right here.
Pardon me.
Um take this one here. That's going to go here.
Thank you.
It'll go here.
Damn you.
And okay, so
First off, you're supporting.
One. Uh, I'm way down there. I can't reach it.
Uh, then you gain five points for being the uh active player.
And if you'd move me two more.
Two more. Oof.
This Oh, and I get one of these blessing cards. I want that one Now you have the double cards.
So it can be either one and you can flip it to its orientation for where you want it in your tableau.
Cool.
Okay, I'll take blessings of the moon.
And again, you cannot take a card whose symbol is not visible until the end game. Oh, no. We just shuffle and figure it out.
Okay. Love any of this if I'm being
I know.
fully honest here. Um, I'm going to take this artisan though. Um I complete a set and
Oh, nice.
make a little building.
Make a little building.
Make a little building, so I get two points for the supporting, but then I also get five points for completing this building and having them in your territory. Yeah. And then we have a We have to put a tile.
Ruel will also get two points cuz he has the second most.
All right.
You're welcome, Ruel.
Thanks.
Remember this at the end, Ruel.
Thank you, Bailey.
Um
Did we get a point for
Oh, that just happened. Did you just place this?
Oh, I completed a row.
Yeah, you did. You get a tech point.
another architect point. Don't have any architect.
It'll be times zero if you have
Um Oof, this is a tough choice between builder and architect. I think I'm going to go builder architect. I'm going to take them as an architect so I can place this here. Give me one point. If you give me to 56. Done so.
Oh, yeah. Let's go. Let's go sculptor. I don't have any sculptors yet. But now, I believe I have complete set. So, this will be 10 points
Oh, a whole set.
Yeah, we have a set.
Forgot about the old set.
I didn't forget. I just wasn't doing it.
So, let's go here. So, I'm going to get How many points do I get here? This is three. 1 2 3
And then you get a you completed a row also.
Three complete a row. Architect goes up.
And you're about to get five more points.
All right. And five points.
And two more points for Bailey as well.
Yay! Two more points for Bailey.
Okay.
Okay, that's killer. Um Okay, interesting. I don't like any of this [ __ ]
Uh okay.
Artisan is flexible right now.
Yeah. I might go
One architect point will get you something. Did we talk about these uh blessing cards? If you don't use them, they're worth two points at the end of the game.
I mentioned it briefly, but uh it's good to repeat it. Mhm. Um okay. This is a tough choice. None of these cards are ones that I want. I will take an architect because I don't have any yet. I think that makes the most sense for me. Um okay. Put this here and I get a point because I'm supporting.
58.
Yeah.
Bleed. Um I'm going to take my first I'm going to take my first elder.
Aw.
Which means I can take one of these. I will try this blessing of movement. And I will place the elder at the only elder spot.
Very nice.
Which gives me two points for its placement.
I'm at 58.
Completes this uh, floor here for five more points and two for Bailey.
Yay! Two for Bailey.
2 3 4 5. And that's my turn. Good.
So, we have the blessing of variety. I showed everyone, but I'll show them again. At the end of scoring you receive 15 for every complete card set instead of 10.
Oh!
Might be interesting.
Okay.
Each complete card set
I am going to definitely get this elder then.
I like that because
Uh, now I got to place the little
That's a real good elder for you, too.
It's a lovely elder. Yes, I love it. I'll go here. Um
Getting zero points.
Zero points for me.
Pathetic.
But I do get this one here. As you can see me 15, so yeah, as long as I complete a set then I will
Which you did.
get 15. Now, I have one complete set. All right, so let's turn over these cards. We got a sculptor and artisan and a new blessing.
Blessing of advancement. At the end of scoring you may score your artisans according to this table. So, it uh increases the amount of artisan points you get.
Okay.
That's fun. Too bad there aren't anything
Yeah.
there. Uh, okay.
Mhm.
Okay, I have a plan. I have a plan and it's a good one.
Okay.
Perhaps.
Maybe.
Yeah. Yes, actually yes. Okay, I'm going to take this builder making my first set, birthday.
Hey. Nice.
Um and I'm going to swap this tile
Mhm.
with this tile.
Mhm.
Actually.
Oh, cool. Okay.
Do you see where my head's at on this?
Yeah, very nice.
Yeah. So, I'm going to put this here.
Great. That's fine.
get two points for the support, but then I will also get five points for finishing the building and Ruel will get two points. I'll get seven total and Ruel will get two.
Five and two. And you've completed a row. Architect.
which is good cuz I now finally have an architect, so that will actually do something.
Nice turn.
A square right there.
Oh, yeah. Square.
We've got another [snorts] beast of burden.
Ooh. Oh, [sighs] wow. Tough. Game. A sculptor's pretty cool, actually. A lot of sculptors are cool.
don't think so. I think sculptors are kind of lame and boring, actually.
Okay.
Pretty sick. That's cool.
Cuz if you got the artisan, you could just like go there.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah.
I'll take a sculptor.
Nice try. It's like is is she right? No, she's Uh-huh. I only get one point, though, for my support. I don't know. Let's put a number four up there. I do get five points for being the majority holder there.
I don't know. You should get one, right?
one. Uh I completed a row, so I'm going to bump my little architect.
You should get one point for this, yeah.
By the way, you're at 69 points.
You got your architect point? Uh I did. Okay.
This moves so quickly.
Yeah. Um am I I got to go beast of burden again, right? I'm going all in. Because I was Oh, no, actually. So, what's worth more to me? Uh you know what? I I get a complete set, that's 10 points for a complete set. But I'm going so hardcore on the Beast of Burden stuff. I'm going to continue that.
in. You're such such an animal.
a big fan of Rolling Stones. Um we'll go here. Block that out.
Wow.
So, I get one for If I go here, I get three for support. Uh 1 2 3 1 2 3
Sounds good.
Okay. And I believe that's my turn. And next card out is a sculptor.
Yes. Okay. I like it. You're welcome, Bailey.
I was like
Excitement right there.
like I was like be a sculptor. I was so excited because now I get to go
Yeah.
here and you know, I don't get anything for this building, but I uh let's see. Ruel, you're going to get five points for this building.
All right.
Um and then do we each get one or is it because of my turn I get two?
You get two and I get nothing.
get two and Jake gets nothing.
Each two.
I don't have you anymore. You you take
Ooh.
And I've also completed two rows.
Yes.
Oh, nice, Bailey.
Nicely done. [snorts]
Thank you.
Um okay. Yeah, if you could flip that.
Sorry. Sorry.
So, I was trying to do some math here of like how many cards are in the deck and I did know notice in the rulebook it's 54 and there's six suits. So, I assume it would be nine each. But then Bailey made the point of like, "Well, there's got to be at least 10 sculptors." And then I forgot that some bunch of these are double-sided.
Oh.
there's technically 54 cards, but there's multiple of every type.
Like maybe in like to the 12 range or something.
Does Bailey have all 10?
No.
Uh but you can get up to that amount as well.
But what if I did? Wouldn't that be so funny?
Mm ha ha. No, wow. Okay.
think so. [clears throat] Um I mean, I guess I have to take the sculptors.
No, they're boring and lame. And I heard them talking [ __ ] ABOUT YOU.
WHAT?
BUT THE SCULPTOR SUCKS FOR ME OVER there because I get no points. I'm not a great color for that. Uh architect's an option, but then I won't finish But I will finish two rows if I do that. Man.
Yeah.
Mhm. Fine. Fine.
Fine.
That's going to give Ru all points. I hate giving Ru all points, like philosophically.
far behind.
Yeah, I'm like I'm in last place, man. Like all the way over here.
Yeah. He's like barely in the same row as us. You should be nicer to him.
Yeah. I mean, I already quit once, so
All right, I get one point for this placement.
Nice.
I get two points for it being I'm in second place on the support.
Okay.
Ru will get five points.
Okay.
All right.
64.
Last floor.
Last floor. Last floor.
Last floor. Come on, give [clears throat] me In the case of none of these matching what's visible, which in this case they do, we would shuffle them all into this deck and then redraw four.
Okay, good to know.
Man. Okay. I am going to take a turn.
That's awesome, Ru.
The turn is going to be uh let's go with an architect.
What's interesting about this game is that there is kind of a lot going on, but you can see it all happening. It's all just the It's all visible. The The information is easy to grok.
Yeah.
Uh you get two points Yes, two points. That's right. You did it.
Well, I I might as well take a sculptor artisan, so I'm going to do that and go
Wait, did I take What did I Oh, no, I took the architect. My bad. I was confused.
going to go here and claim a support point. Please, thank you so much.
71.
Come on, come on, come on. Really nice card. Really nice card. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
Yeah!
Dang it.
That's what we like to see.
Man, oh man.
our elder.
Yep.
Man, I really do want a Beast of Burden though cuz I can be 10 points if I get that.
It is funny just to take it away from Ru El.
What? What?
What?
I'm going to do it I'm going to do this card, but I'm saying I'm not sure which orientation it cuz that complete this, but then I don't get that.
Right.
I get a key These I think I'm actually going to do the elder side of it. So, um I'll place this for what will be two points.
Okay. 1 2
That will complete this for what will be five points for me and one point for each of you.
Yay!
1 and then 1 2 3 4 5 for Jake 79.
Flipping this over and then I did complete two rows.
Nice.
Really good.
Dang.
It's a good thing you have so many freaking architects.
real good.
Yeah.
Speaking of.
Sculpture time.
Sculpture time, baby.
Sculpture time. Okay, these are basically the same. I'm going to go here.
A good pick.
Completing that, so architect bumps up. This support for two. 1 2 69, nice. And then we do this one.
Ooh, nice. See, you get five points for that?
Uh 74.
Jake, it's two.
Two for Jake. Next card now.
Ooh, we're getting down to it now.
We really are.
Wait, are there no Are there enough cards?
Um
There's two more of these tiles. Oh, and then we place the
Oh.
Did you take your
Right.
blessing?
Oh, yeah. Did you
I did not. I went to take this card. Thank you so much. Oh, I cannot forgot about that.
Blessing of abundance is our replacement. Immediately take another turn. You miss your next turn though. So, you get to go twice in a row, but it's the end of the game. If it's the end of the game, exactly. Okay, well, I think I might as well take us another sculptor. Uh And I'm going to put my building
Oh, yeah, it's it's just a perfect amount of cards. This is crazy.
Mhm.
Right.
What a very interesting
This is an interesting game, right? You don't get zero points for that.
no points for that. That's true. You're right.
But you're happy there.
Yeah.
I like it there.
I think it's a great choice.
I think it's good.
We have five cards left in this deck.
Yep.
And then the turn the game is over. Wow, it's all builders and architects.
Mhm.
That's not great. Oh, it's my turn. I'm so sorry. In that case we go builder architect. We take another architect and we place here, which gets me two more points. Oh.
You know, I'm in the
Last card. Okay, so the symbols that are available currently are sculptor, artisan, and builder, which are all currently available.
Did you complete a row right here?
Is that a full row?
did complete a row.
Yep.
It doesn't count.
It No, he's right. That's right.
Don't tell him that. He's got so many architects.
Oh, yeah, he does. I don't mind.
known for here.
Um All right, Bailey, I think I'm going to give you points.
Oh, I love that. Thank you, Ruell.
Or
Let me complete my sentence.
Well.
I give
It's cool you get an equal amount of turns, too. Very like symmetrical. So, this is why it plays best at three.
I don't think I like I hate that.
There's very few games that play best at three.
That That's why it really it stuck out to me. I was like, "Really, three?" Um, I'm going to do this um artisan.
I know you.
Right here.
it so badly.
Two for support. One, two. Uh, complete that. One. And then Um, oh, shoot.
Oh, it was right here.
Okay. Okay.
Woo.
[sighs and gasps]
Uh, [snorts] this goes here. And then I get another five for this. 81.
Then I get two?
You get two. You're over here. One, two. Yeah.
Okay.
Okay.
Um, I'm going to freaking cry. Uh, I'm
I'm going to take
Wow, these are the options that are available.
This one.
Right?
I'm not going to move any tiles anywhere cuz that'd be silly. This is my last thing. Um I think that Is there any reason to really want to be the majority of this like top placement?
Um Mm. Okay, so yeah, this is interesting.
top?
So, when you do this, Bailey, you're going to trigger the end of the game, obviously. You're going to place the temple cap. And the way it's going to score is whoever has placed the most ice blocks on the floor tiles on the outside of the temple outer tiles scores seven points, and then you'll place the cap. So, the way it's the outer tiles are here, right? These.
Yeah.
We're going to count those up. Whoever has the most is going to get seven points.
What truly triggers the end game, Ruelle?
Um, when you have placed this final one here. Cuz this
Is that when you place that or when you place the final blocks on tops cuz it's going to rest on it?
Yeah, cuz it's going to be It's going to be you, I think, that places the final
you. The final thing.
Um, the game ends as soon as the fourth ice block has been placed on the floor tile of the top level.
Right. So, the fourth ice block here. So, it'll You will be the last turn.
Okay, cool.
Okay. Um, I think I'm just going to put this here.
Okay.
Get three points. Uh, where am I? I'm all the way over here.
probably the way to move.
Three.
Yeah.
Um, complete two rows.
Architect, nice.
I only have one architect, though. So, I still want Jake to do it. Um, but we're going to put that tile there.
Yep.
And then, uh, and that's my final move.
Hell yeah.
Do we get um, majority points?
Yes. So, you get five and uh, Bailey gets two.
That's exciting.
Two there. I don't get anything.
No, because uh, she breaks ties cuz she's the active player. [clears throat]
Oh, that's right. Um, then I will take the final architect.
Mhm.
I will place it here, completing this row, bringing me to seven architecture points.
Wow, horrible.
Very nice. Um, technically, like do we score the majority?
Yes. Not majority, but we just I get one point for this.
Well, yeah, but it's
called uh, support.
Yeah.
Okay. And then, yes, I did get this one here.
Good for you. It gives you three points.
Totally, yeah. Three points for here, the support. Three, two, three.
And then, I think Jake gets five points and you get two points.
That's what I don't understand, actually. I think the game is over now, right?
Sorry, I forgot to move uh, my architect.
You did Yes. Yes. You did get two.
Ooh, so I did get four. I got to up to the five. Nice. I didn't think I was going to.
Okay. Now, let's read what the end game says. So,
who gets these points?
Um, now, the end game, we've ended it. This means all cards have been played played and all ice blocks have been placed. Uh, whoever has placed the most ice blocks on the floor tiles on the outside of the temple, uh, in parentheses, outer tiles, scores seven points and then places the temple cap on top.
Okay, so let's count orange first. Bailey has one, two. Is on all levels?
Now, this is what it looks like all levels cuz they show all three.
all levels. So, one, two, three, four,
5 6

Uh 7 uh so I go up to 84.
Okay.
Hot on your tails.
Very nice. Okay. Uh now we score the building cards.
I think we should do this one player at a time.
Yeah, that's a good call.
a lot.
Okay.
Who thinks they did the worst?
I don't know.
I don't know. I probably did the worst cuz I focused so much on this one I wasn't really paying attention to this.
a lot of beasties though.
You know no, we can do this Jake. We can score by each player.
That's the best idea. That's the best idea. That's the best idea.
Builders, most cards 20 points.
Hello.
20 points for Jake.
20 points for me brings me to 106.
You got 100 tiles.
Thank you, sir.
Uh second place is um all remaining players.

Sculptors, uh-oh.
Uh I have two, so I will take seven points.

Yeah. Here's your 100 token.
Thank you.
Holy cow, that's going to be
Wow, Bailey. Huge.
one for her.
Okay.
Yeah, that was what I was really working on.
Let's go to Artisans. For every tool type, you're going to get points based on how many. So, I'll start because I have one of each. That is zero for each. So, zero plus zero plus zero is zero.
Mhm.
Uh
But I do have But I do have a set of all three that's worth 10 points.
I have the exact same situation, Ruelle.
Oh, nice.
So, I get 10 points as well.
Bring you to 155. Jake?
Um I have a blessing of advancement um blessing, which increases my value of individual things if I have two of them. Or should this be Oh, and if I have one. Okay, so I have one of each. Excuse me. I have one of the uh hammer and one of the butter knife. So, those score one each.
But I have frosting spatula.
Frosting spatula. Frosting spatula, that's right.
I have two ropes for five, so that's seven. And then I have one complete set for 12, which is 19.
Very nice, Jake. Well done.

Blessing.
Or blessing card, sorry.
What?
So, if you didn't use your blessings, like I didn't use them.
no. No, that's not the word I'm confused about. The matching symbol
you get for every sculptor you have, this card's going to be worth that many points. And for every architect you have.
Oh, okay. So, I have just one of each.
Yep.
Okay, so just count how many cards you
How many cards, yeah.
One, two, three, four, five, six.

So, this card is essentially worth We would you have six beasts of burden or seven?
Uh six.
You had six. So, this card is essentially worth eight points cuz it's plus your two elders. It's an eight-point card. And then this is six plus your architects, which is another eight.
Eight, so 16.
Yeah.
Oh, Ru Well's got it.
Ru was totally on of Yes.

And you like felt like that was okay every time. It's like, well, this is the this is the lot I've been given, and I'm going to just go for this. And it like it didn't feel too restrictive between this and this. I felt like I always had choice.
Same.
Yeah, I like how fast they moved. Every turn it was just like
Yes.
Going so quickly.
And look at this. It's beautiful, right?
