00:47:48.400 --> 00:47:58.357 No, i think when you're hanging out saying, take a peach and pluck it from the tree, and pluck it from the plicker and pluck it, the pluckety-pluckety weedie Well see the words like we're also action. 00:47:58.589 --> 00:48:04.594 Like I said, weed was actually the word treat, so it was the same verbage. 00:48:04.594 --> 00:48:12.558 You know using that and a noun here, and I think there's only one time I did not do that the correct way. 00:48:12.558 --> 00:48:13.320 I thought that would help. 00:48:14.231 --> 00:48:16.719 No, I think the way you did it was a little bit more confusing for me. 00:48:16.719 --> 00:48:18.155 I think banana would have been a good way. 00:48:18.289 --> 00:48:20.980 You could have just changed the pineapple and it could have been legally distinct. 00:48:20.980 --> 00:48:27.018 It could have been So pineapple, but it wouldn't get sued from Nick Moore. 00:48:27.018 --> 00:48:27.900 Yeah, okay. 00:48:29.061 --> 00:48:33.779 All right, So 10 out of 25. 00:48:33.779 --> 00:48:35.753 I got to take it, Angie. 00:48:36.389 --> 00:48:37.132 You have to take it. 00:48:40.833 --> 00:48:42.355 Shall, we play a game. 00:48:46.609 --> 00:48:51.638 Let's play global thermo nuclear war. 00:48:51.638 --> 00:48:58.650 Fun Whips. 00:48:58.650 --> 00:48:59.373 I do. 00:48:59.373 --> 00:49:04.376 You want, i'll be the Russians. 00:49:04.376 --> 00:49:18.585 It is time for us to venture into post apocalyptic Russia. 00:49:18.585 --> 00:49:33.862 We're, we're taking that trip, we're going in and we are going to be talking about resurgence, a fascinating game from none other than Stan Stanislav Kordonsky. 00:49:33.862 --> 00:49:43.760 Before we start, though, angie, much like Gakpan, i came up with a fancy anagram too. 00:49:43.760 --> 00:49:52.670 So, for those of you that have been listening to our podcast for a while, we do rate everything on. 00:49:52.670 --> 00:49:59.320 Pretty much when we talk about a game, we do a review of a game, we talk about certain, i guess, criteria or certain categories. 00:49:59.320 --> 00:50:06.893 Those are mechanics, art, theme, replayability, components, and then we rounded out with what we rate the game. 00:50:06.893 --> 00:50:18.012 So, because I want it to be a little bit creative, i decided that we should, and Angie doesn't know anything about this. 00:50:18.012 --> 00:50:27.480 We're going to have a chase scale, so each letter is going to represent a key aspect of the gaming experience. 00:50:28.309 --> 00:50:29.272 So you just made this up. 00:50:29.795 --> 00:50:30.798 Totally 100 percent. 00:50:31.270 --> 00:50:34.980 So you're going to have to maybe have to walk me through it. 00:50:34.980 --> 00:50:39.336 So now I have to reorder my Oh yeah, walking. 00:50:39.609 --> 00:50:40.913 I'm walking you through right now. 00:50:40.973 --> 00:50:41.295 Yeah. 00:50:41.455 --> 00:50:41.976 All right. 00:50:41.976 --> 00:50:46.077 So, if you can imagine the word chase, because we are chasing mebos after all. 00:50:46.598 --> 00:50:46.779 Yeah. 00:50:47.891 --> 00:50:48.453 And here we go. 00:50:48.453 --> 00:50:58.152 So C is going to stand for components, h is going to stand for heart, or, like the theme of the game. 00:50:58.152 --> 00:51:04.040 A is for artwork and S is for strategy. 00:51:04.040 --> 00:51:10.072 That's where we could talk about game mechanics and E is for entertainment. 00:51:10.072 --> 00:51:15.062 So we talk about replayability and overall fun of the game. 00:51:15.062 --> 00:51:17.335 You got it. 00:51:17.797 --> 00:51:18.157 Got it. 00:51:18.458 --> 00:51:23.116 All right, let's start chasing into resurgence. 00:51:23.116 --> 00:51:27.356 So we're going to start with C components. 00:51:27.356 --> 00:51:33.121 So I think it brings to the table a well crafted game. 00:51:33.121 --> 00:51:45.376 I think you know for half a kingdom games, his own stands only on publishing company as their first, first game. 00:51:45.376 --> 00:51:47.561 they did a good job with the components. 00:51:47.561 --> 00:51:58.442 It wasn't that expensive of a game to buy yet I think, the components being really nice screen printed tokens and you know there's good. 00:51:58.442 --> 00:52:02.675 The player board isn't like a like flimsy paper. 00:52:02.675 --> 00:52:04.179 the compound. 00:52:04.900 --> 00:52:06.103 Yeah, it's a thick. 00:52:06.349 --> 00:52:07.293 It's a thicker cardboard. 00:52:07.293 --> 00:52:10.277 I think everything was designed really well. 00:52:10.277 --> 00:52:11.895 I think I touched on just about everything. 00:52:11.895 --> 00:52:17.040 Is there anything that jumps out of your mind about components and functionality? 00:52:17.060 --> 00:52:20.958 about components It does, because I thought you were going to touch on it and you totally missed on it. 00:52:20.958 --> 00:52:31.516 The reference sheet is actually the back of the screen, the player screen, where you are essentially, with the player screen you are covering. 00:52:31.536 --> 00:52:32.219 That's your play rate. 00:52:32.219 --> 00:52:34.141 Yeah, that's your play rate. 00:52:34.161 --> 00:52:49.880 Yeah, you use the player screen to cover up your personal position board, your leadership track, and you're using the screen to cover up that, and the back of the screen is your player aid. 00:52:49.880 --> 00:52:52.016 So it's right there in front of you. 00:52:52.016 --> 00:52:54.315 It's not another card that you have to search for. 00:52:54.315 --> 00:52:55.958 So I like that. 00:52:56.379 --> 00:52:56.560 Yeah. 00:52:57.429 --> 00:52:59.094 Otherwise, everything else I agree with you on. 00:52:59.094 --> 00:53:03.096 That was my only addition to that. 00:53:05.766 --> 00:53:05.846 Okay. 00:53:05.846 --> 00:53:13.257 So let's talk a little bit moving on to the H in chasing, and that is the heart of resurgence. 00:53:13.257 --> 00:53:16.458 So the heart of resurgence again would be the theme. 00:53:16.458 --> 00:53:30.779 So when you

think about this game, it is a worker placement game, it's a bag builder And at the heart of it it's a Euro game at its purest. 00:53:30.779 --> 00:53:34.873 And the theme? 00:53:34.873 --> 00:53:40.503 it takes place in the bleak ruins of Moscow and it manages to pull you in. 00:53:40.503 --> 00:53:41.750 It pulls me in. 00:53:41.750 --> 00:53:44.799 You do feel a sense of struggle. 00:53:44.799 --> 00:53:47.117 So resources is they're scarce in this game. 00:53:47.117 --> 00:53:48.635 It's kind of hard to come by resources. 00:53:48.635 --> 00:53:53.902 It gives you that tangible feeling that it, for me at least, right. 00:53:53.902 --> 00:53:55.252 Does that make sense? 00:53:55.252 --> 00:54:10.020 Yeah Right, you have to complete missions, you have to recruit survivors, figure out a way to build your base, and I think all of that is weaved well into the theme. 00:54:10.020 --> 00:54:10.932 What do you think? 00:54:12.250 --> 00:54:14.596 I am not a fan of this theme. 00:54:14.596 --> 00:54:34.078 I think the theme is there, but I don't think it's there a lot, which for me is good, because I can then concentrate on the Euro mechanics of the game And I don't have to worry so much about everything else. 00:54:34.078 --> 00:54:41.443 I think we're talking themes, so I can leave my next comment for when we get to mechanics. 00:54:41.443 --> 00:54:47.362 But, like I said, i don't like the theme and it is good. 00:54:47.362 --> 00:54:58.460 He uses it good with the compound boards And maybe all your workers that you're pulling from the bag. 00:54:58.460 --> 00:55:00.123 There are three different types of workers. 00:55:00.123 --> 00:55:08.661 There's your hero, there are your basic workers that have the little Russia furry hat on there, and then you have Your laborers. 00:55:09.061 --> 00:55:23.141 Your laborers, and then you have some specialists, and they are worth different points, different value, and so then you're fighting on the leadership track and I don't know, and I think you would. 00:55:23.141 --> 00:55:27.321 I think that way that you do have competing personalities. 00:55:27.321 --> 00:55:34.079 If you are in a small society like that, so you would probably have some of these people competing for leadership. 00:55:34.079 --> 00:55:43.278 So you know, in that way I think it's got a good theme, but it's not one that smacks me so hard in the face that I can't concentrate on how to play. 00:55:43.569 --> 00:55:46.710 Now for me, I think it's there, Like I think we'll talk a little. 00:55:46.710 --> 00:55:48.395 I'll talk a little bit more about that when we get to art. 00:55:48.395 --> 00:55:50.795 I think it's good. 00:55:50.795 --> 00:56:00.222 There are certain things that I think maybe could have been stronger in the theme. 00:56:00.222 --> 00:56:12.641 Like I think if you're going to put mutants in the game, I can talk about that in mechanics as well, but I think the mutants, they're just there. 00:56:13.109 --> 00:56:17.952 There's

a crossover there, so Yeah, they're just there. 00:56:17.952 --> 00:56:19.876 Right How they're used. 00:56:19.876 --> 00:56:21.319 Now, that's mechanic-wise Yeah. 00:56:21.599 --> 00:56:40.344 Yeah, but I mean, theme-wise makes sense to have mutants roaming the streets, but I just I feel like they don't provide the same intimidation as I originally thought they would when it comes to the game. 00:56:40.344 --> 00:56:47.076 So and I can explain a little bit more of that later You want to move on to artwork now, wherever? 00:56:47.076 --> 00:56:52.639 Okay, i'm going to talk about the A in Chase and that is artwork. 00:56:52.639 --> 00:57:01.333 So, like I said, i was immediately struck by how well the artwork captured the cold, harsh reality of that Moscow. 00:57:01.333 --> 00:57:03.797 The board, how it's just ruined. 00:57:03.797 --> 00:57:10.596 But I get the feeling I know this is taking place in Moscow. 00:57:10.596 --> 00:57:11.737 Does that make sense to you? 00:57:12.210 --> 00:57:13.214 I understand what you say. 00:57:13.789 --> 00:57:22.724 And I've never seen Moscow in person, but I can tell, and it just has, that There's enough Moscow in it where I can go. 00:57:22.724 --> 00:57:23.489 Hey, this is Moscow. 00:57:23.489 --> 00:57:24.875 I don't know how I'm saying this. 00:57:24.875 --> 00:57:25.717 Do you know what I mean? 00:57:25.717 --> 00:57:29.397 Like it doesn't look like a generic rubbley city. 00:57:30.018 --> 00:57:30.379 Okay. 00:57:30.400 --> 00:57:32.132 Okay, the first player marker. 00:57:32.132 --> 00:57:39.308 if you look at it closely you can see in the art in the screen printing on it that it's actually like broken building. 00:57:39.308 --> 00:57:40.554 It's painted though. 00:57:40.710 --> 00:57:42.234 So I mean it would be broken apart. 00:57:42.275 --> 00:57:48.440 yeah, Yeah, but if you look at the artwork, there's holes drawn into the Okay, at the top of the. 00:57:49.210 --> 00:57:51.516 I never bothered to look that closely at it. 00:57:51.536 --> 00:57:53.159 Yeah, i was looking, okay. 00:57:53.159 --> 00:57:58.260 The other thing that I really like about it is when you look Like the artwork is, it's unique. 00:57:58.260 --> 00:58:17.097 So when you look just at the back of this player screen, right, so this is what you see, this is the first player marker here, and if you look at the first player marker, these broken parts here are actually on that, but it just gives you a sense of action here. 00:58:17.097 --> 00:58:26.538 Right, and I don't know, it's like a comic book style artwork. 00:58:26.538 --> 00:58:45.742 But at the same point, when you're looking at the cards so your survivor cards and your hero cards, they have that And I don't know how to explain it other than Soviet era propaganda poster artwork. 00:58:46.789 --> 00:58:48.355 That's a good description of it. 00:58:48.514 --> 00:58:50.219 You know, and it's very. 00:58:50.650 --> 00:59:05.096 I was gonna say World War II art poster, but yeah,

yeah, yeah, what you would see up in the red square hanging when you see, maybe, the leader banner hanging down from the Berlin wall, you know Yeah. 00:59:06.770 --> 00:59:07.192 I don't know. 00:59:07.192 --> 00:59:14.083 It would be interesting if you look into the thought of time period. 00:59:14.083 --> 00:59:18.090 If I look at the clothing on these people, I'm thinking 80s. 00:59:18.090 --> 00:59:20.632 right, Thinking 80s 80s. 00:59:20.632 --> 00:59:23.292 Yeah, i'm thinking 80s 80s Yeah. 00:59:23.292 --> 00:59:26.733 Maybe not, maybe 60s, 50s, what are you thinking? 00:59:26.733 --> 00:59:29.694 I'm thinking 80s. 00:59:31.155 --> 00:59:33.304 This was much before the 80, okay. 00:59:36.115 --> 00:59:41.764 Okay, so like It's like time froze, you know kind of like video game fallout. 00:59:42.266 --> 00:59:47.500 Yeah you know, I see I don't think a follow in the 80s I was no follow was in the 50s. 00:59:47.740 --> 00:59:55.143 Yeah, 50s, ish, alternative 50s, but I think like I Don't know, i just like I really love the artwork in this game. 00:59:55.143 --> 00:59:56.864 What do you think I? 00:59:57.975 --> 00:59:58.536 Like their work. 00:59:58.536 --> 01:00:00.141 Yeah, I like the card art. 01:00:00.141 --> 01:00:08.817 Like I said, it looks like Yeah, World War two era Artwork. 01:00:10.056 --> 01:00:10.356 Cool. 01:00:10.356 --> 01:00:12.882 Now, moving on to the next letter, is s. 01:00:12.882 --> 01:00:14.366 So we're talking strategy. 01:00:14.366 --> 01:00:16.942 This is where we can talk about the mechanics. 01:00:16.942 --> 01:00:19.186 That's where I would like to talk about the mechanics. 01:00:19.186 --> 01:00:21.804 I think there's a lot of strategy in the game. 01:00:21.804 --> 01:00:30.719 I Think the blend of bag building, hidden work, replacement and resource management Gives you a depth of gameplay. 01:00:30.719 --> 01:00:34.416 That is sad if that that that's complex, okay. 01:00:34.416 --> 01:00:48.750 However, i really wish For it to be a Bag builder, that there was more of a push your luck element why I? 01:00:50.056 --> 01:00:55.641 Don't know so necessarily bag building but not okay So then you're thinking quacks of quenlinburg. 01:00:55.721 --> 01:01:00.217 Yeah, i'm thinking quacks of quenlinburg, exactly right, so there isn't. 01:01:00.217 --> 01:01:05.878 How can I put it this way when I, when I, you're literally just using the? 01:01:05.878 --> 01:01:06.981 it could have been. 01:01:06.981 --> 01:01:21.411 If you're gonna go bag builder, there should be some sort of I Guess feedback loop of I don't know how to put it, but instead it's you okay. 01:01:21.411 --> 01:01:21.771 Okay, how can I? 01:01:21.771 --> 01:01:22.454 how can I explain this? 01:01:22.454 --> 01:01:36.637 You draw four people on your turn, yeah, unless you are moving up on your compound, and then it becomes five, yeah, so the only thing that the bag really does is it you're literally just pulling people out of a bag and And that's it. 01:01:36.657 --> 01:01:38.182 Yeah, but you don't know you're gonna get right. 01:01:38.182 --> 01:01:41.212 That's where the luck comes in. 01:01:41.292 --> 01:01:44.454 I get that, but there's no luck Mitigation and that's where the luck comes in. 01:01:44.775 --> 01:01:47.447 I get that, but there's no luck mitigation in the game either. 01:01:47.889 --> 01:01:48.673 Why would there have to be? 01:01:48.673 --> 01:01:50.137 well, it's not a big case. 01:01:50.137 --> 01:01:51.721 You know bad How you have. 01:01:51.760 --> 01:01:52.782 You ever okay? 01:01:52.782 --> 01:01:54.807 Okay, going back to what I'm trying to say, right? 01:01:54.807 --> 01:01:59.626 So I've never had a moment where I pull out of the bag. 01:01:59.626 --> 01:02:01.815 Oh yeah, I got my ranger. 01:02:01.815 --> 01:02:03.079 I never had that. 01:02:03.079 --> 01:02:06.434 Oh, I got my ranger moment you have when I get my my hero. 01:02:06.434 --> 01:02:11.848 You get your, your leader right, yeah, but because he can do things. 01:02:11.888 --> 01:02:13.833 Other people can't he. 01:02:15.195 --> 01:02:19.840 Can do everything, yeah, you know when. 01:02:19.920 --> 01:02:23.835 Even when you get your ranger and you get your other people, they get additional benefits. 01:02:23.835 --> 01:02:39.762 So if you're gonna go to The one where you collect admission and get a bullet, you need a certain worker for that the guy with a But he looks like somebody that has that old Leather helmet that's your ranger. 01:02:40.003 --> 01:02:42.754 Okay, yeah, you need him to do that, to go to that spot. 01:02:42.754 --> 01:02:45.362 There are people that you need the scientists. 01:02:45.362 --> 01:02:53.681 If you want to get extra oils, if you really need oil that time, then you're gonna put your scientists in the. 01:02:53.681 --> 01:02:54.324 I think that's a. 01:02:54.324 --> 01:02:59.065 That's one of the blue spots, so I I find that they're. 01:02:59.065 --> 01:03:01.152 You know that those people are. 01:03:01.152 --> 01:03:02.275 I get that, aha. 01:03:03.176 --> 01:03:03.677 Oh, you do. 01:03:03.918 --> 01:03:09.458 Yeah, i don't think there needs to be any luck in it, because I don't think It's a luck based game. 01:03:09.458 --> 01:03:12.467 Normally, euro games are not, so I'm not expecting that. 01:03:12.467 --> 01:03:17.223 So I'm not expecting that you need to mitigate because a lot of deck builders you don't mitigate. 01:03:17.784 --> 01:03:24.944 Yeah, exactly, exactly, but you do mitigate your luck in the deck builder. 01:03:25.004 --> 01:03:25.766 There's a way to I. 01:03:27.739 --> 01:03:38.027 Don't know, maybe I'm wrong Yeah maybe I'm wrong on that, but I Don't have that aha moment when I, when I pull out, like that's okay like I think you could. 01:03:38.027 --> 01:03:38.627 You could have. 01:03:38.627 --> 01:03:44.865 You can actually get a bad pull and your whole round sucks. 01:03:44.865 --> 01:03:47.420 Yeah, and there's only six rounds in the game.

01:03:47.420 --> 01:03:53.379 Yeah, and there's no way to again Euro based game. 01:03:53.379 --> 01:03:57.534 There isn't a lot of luck in Euro games. 01:03:57.895 --> 01:04:01.882 Well, it's also you knowing what to do with the people you do get. 01:04:01.882 --> 01:04:09.454 Because if you're just gonna get that basic worker, where are you gonna put him to get the most value out of him? 01:04:09.454 --> 01:04:19.048 If you want to get, if you need certain resources, you're gonna stick him in your compound and that's where you could spend an oil to get two bullets. 01:04:19.048 --> 01:04:33.887 That's a good action, but that's something you would stick that worker to do because, unless you're further up in the higher Levels of your compound, you don't really need to use your specialist. 01:04:33.887 --> 01:04:41.827 So I Think it's what you, the strategy is, where you use your people. 01:04:42.996 --> 01:04:53.846 Oh, absolutely gonna do on your turn well, not only that, there's I Don't want to say there's a lot of ways to get points in this game, but there's a lot of different ways you can play the game. 01:04:53.846 --> 01:04:57.278 Yeah, all the times that we've played the game, i've tried a different strategy. 01:04:57.559 --> 01:05:01.297 So if I my last one sucked, You know. 01:05:01.437 --> 01:05:03.896 So There's the. 01:05:03.896 --> 01:05:07.946 Do you want to take the time to invest time in building your compound? 01:05:07.946 --> 01:05:15.754 Oh, there's benefits to that, but I think the more time you spend on that, the less time you're gonna have to complete missions. 01:05:16.360 --> 01:05:17.835 And that's what you get with a Euro game. 01:05:17.835 --> 01:05:18.936 There's a lot to do. 01:05:18.936 --> 01:05:29.565 You have to make that decision and I think that's a good sign of a good Euro game Making those decisions, having to be that thinkiness. 01:05:29.565 --> 01:05:40.882 If it's Only do one thing, if okay, every game, i'm gonna do this, then you don't get that replay ability, then you don't get the Thinkiness, and that is what I mean. 01:05:40.882 --> 01:05:46.723 If you just want to slap some cards out of roll some dice and get your lucky play dice, so that's a different type of game. 01:05:46.723 --> 01:05:51.099 Quacks, a quidlinberg, you pull things from a big, but if you blow up, you blow up. 01:05:51.099 --> 01:05:58.894 Those are different types of games and I would play resurgence because I want that Euro game feel And that's what I get with this. 01:05:58.894 --> 01:06:13.282 I don't see theme in it, but I definitely get that Euro game feel from all those mechanics and I'll stop so adamantly screaming like that because you didn't think I like this game, stan Kordonski, i think you did good job. 01:06:18.135 --> 01:06:20.279 Stan Kordonski, didn't think you liked this game. 01:06:20.279 --> 01:06:22.945 I have a feeling you've been talking to him, or what. 01:06:23.507 --> 01:06:26.882 Well, you know, i'm in that

half-king thing. 01:06:28.516 --> 01:06:28.757 What. 01:06:29.695 --> 01:06:30.438 He's got a group. 01:06:30.599 --> 01:06:32.706 Yeah, i'm in that group too, well you know. 01:06:32.827 --> 01:06:34.733 I might get a thumbs up here in there Oh. 01:06:34.994 --> 01:06:37.039 Oh, that's good. 01:06:37.039 --> 01:06:44.158 Um, am I missing anything? 01:06:44.158 --> 01:06:49.219 because there is something I want to talk about, but I want you to give your opportunity to talk about stuff As well. 01:06:49.701 --> 01:06:52.514 Well, okay, and this is where I was gonna bring in the mechanics. 01:06:52.514 --> 01:06:54.539 I don't know if I should save it to the very end. 01:06:54.539 --> 01:07:07.205 But, yes, the mutants and I and I appreciate the fact that the mutants just essentially Take up it you make, takes resources away from you. 01:07:07.205 --> 01:07:20.724 But in the last night's game and this is when you have multiple cards, you maybe get different things on your cards, and we have one of our events There was a mutant in our compound, so it wasn't just pay a research, you know the breach he. 01:07:20.724 --> 01:07:24.949 He literally took up your spot as a spot you wanted to go to. 01:07:25.009 --> 01:07:28.022 So that was but it wasn't mutant, it was you took. 01:07:28.022 --> 01:07:31.641 Oh, you put a survivor there to survivor, You pull somebody out of your bag to do it. 01:07:31.742 --> 01:07:35.817 But but the idea was the mute the event was Yeah, I'm gonna put a mutant in there. 01:07:35.897 --> 01:07:36.599 Yeah, you should have. 01:07:36.599 --> 01:07:40.547 But essentially your person is probably they're repairing the damage at the mutant. 01:07:41.054 --> 01:07:41.355 Okay. 01:07:41.355 --> 01:07:54.103 So what I wanted to my point was going to be the fact is a solo game the mutants will punish you depending on Your actions that you get. 01:07:54.103 --> 01:08:07.221 So there are times that the mutant will If you don't pay certain resources, like here under this whole pilot one, you may pay to ammo or medicine, or the mutant gets three VP. 01:08:07.221 --> 01:08:15.321 So there are things in the solo game that you really, in the leadership boards, you need really need to make careful. 01:08:15.321 --> 01:08:19.528 I Mean there's really not that type of mitigation with those. 01:08:19.528 --> 01:08:31.948 But you do get the opportunity to say I'll pay my ammo, but I'm like I need my ammo for other things, or my health for other things, but it is that mute gives you that negative effect that you would expect In the solo experience. 01:08:32.391 --> 01:08:49.412 Okay, so I'm yeah, so I didn't play the solo side, i just played at the two, so that makes me feel good that the mutants are a little bit more punishing In the solo game could he have integrated that maybe. 01:08:49.412 --> 01:08:52.350 Maybe you know that could be it so I really liked. 01:08:52.350 --> 01:08:56.582 So I really liked that event card that we had. 01:08:56.582 --> 01:08:58.185 That you just explained. 01:08:58.244 --> 01:08:58.546 Okay. 01:08:58.605 --> 01:08:59.186 Yeah, okay. 01:08:59.186 --> 01:09:10.605 So when I first Thought about this game, when I backed it, when I looked at it, i Thought the mutants would play a little bit more sure right Yeah. 01:09:10.605 --> 01:09:25.007 Now, essentially when you're playing a two-player game and a three-player in a floor player game, you draw from the mutant deck, you put your mutant tokens in the certain regions that they're in And when you go there, you just have to give up one resource. 01:09:25.997 --> 01:09:28.454 Pretty much the same as if you were in the same spot. 01:09:28.454 --> 01:09:36.746 I'd give you the resource, or I have to give, give it up, you have to give up a resource so that way, it's not really much different right. 01:09:37.676 --> 01:09:41.024 So I was just kind of like when we first play the game. 01:09:41.024 --> 01:09:42.668 I was just like that's it. 01:09:42.668 --> 01:09:50.619 Yeah, i Guess in my mind I was thinking more of that Fallout shelter game. 01:09:50.981 --> 01:09:51.262 Yeah. 01:09:52.356 --> 01:09:57.288 Where you have all these events that happen in your compound and you have to figure out a way to stop it. 01:09:58.176 --> 01:10:01.525 Yeah, yeah, right again different type of game. 01:10:01.525 --> 01:10:12.005 Yes, Yes, but I understand that they they're probably different things He could have done with those mutants to make it more punishing right, and I'm hoping I mean this game I don't want. 01:10:12.876 --> 01:10:18.318 So as we're going through this, talking about this game, it, it makes it sound like there's I'm disappointed in the game Because I'm really not. 01:10:18.318 --> 01:10:20.768 I'm not, i'm just being critical. 01:10:21.511 --> 01:10:22.535 I really like the game. 01:10:22.735 --> 01:10:28.528 That's okay, i enjoy playing the game and and it's definitely a keeper right It's on my shelf. 01:10:28.528 --> 01:10:32.224 It's on my shelf of post-apocalyptic games. 01:10:32.224 --> 01:10:33.067 Right, it's a keeper. 01:10:33.067 --> 01:10:40.065 Maybe there's I really hope there's. 01:10:40.849 --> 01:10:49.189 There's expansions in the world, it's a little module in the box that we could be playing with we could try that, yeah, there's yeah, and I did look at it. 01:10:49.189 --> 01:10:55.015 So there, yeah, there is a factor in there that might that will make it a little bit more. 01:10:55.015 --> 01:10:58.881 So, yeah, there definitely could be an expansion coming. 01:10:58.881 --> 01:11:03.390 That will definitely make that a little bit more punishing, if that's what you want. 01:11:06.199 --> 01:11:11.625 That's a punishing, just just Relevant, and that's the relevant with the solo. 01:11:11.725 --> 01:11:15.155 so that was when we were thinking about I was thinking about that, i. 01:11:15.155 --> 01:11:20.905 that's why I Acquainted myself with that, this rollo. 01:11:20.905 -->

01:11:27.097 I Reacquainted myself with this solo Rules, rules, yeah. 01:11:27.097 --> 01:11:30.280 the solo act, the mutant actions, that's what they're called Yeah. 01:11:36.672 --> 01:11:38.777 Good, can we move on? 01:11:39.298 --> 01:11:42.025 We can All right, i'm sorry, i actually talked that time. 01:11:42.409 --> 01:11:42.994 No, you're good. 01:11:42.994 --> 01:11:44.025 You should talk more. 01:11:44.025 --> 01:11:46.614 That was a good conversation. 01:11:46.614 --> 01:11:48.270 Angie, you know very good thoughts. 01:11:48.270 --> 01:11:59.092 Now let's move on to the last letter in Chase, and that's E, or entertainment, or replayability, however you want to call it, but that doesn't start with E. 01:11:59.092 --> 01:12:02.535 So what do you think? 01:12:02.535 --> 01:12:06.230 Like I said earlier, you're asking you. 01:12:06.230 --> 01:12:08.630 I'm asking you, but I'll start off. 01:12:08.771 --> 01:12:09.453 Okay, you start off. 01:12:10.025 --> 01:12:14.289 So, like I said during Mechanic the discussion, there's different routes to victory. 01:12:14.289 --> 01:12:25.085 You can take a different play style every time you play until you find one that fits for you Right Now. 01:12:25.085 --> 01:12:30.779 Depending on who you play it with, you might have to adjust your Oh, absolutely. 01:12:30.779 --> 01:12:32.390 You know you might have to adjust it. 01:12:32.390 --> 01:12:39.271 You know, if I wish we had more people to play with, maybe we bring it with us to PhoenixCon, That's an idea. 01:12:39.271 --> 01:12:42.552 Get some people in on there and see how it works at a higher level. 01:12:42.753 --> 01:12:42.993 Yeah. 01:12:44.185 --> 01:12:57.575 However, you know, like I think the the fact that there's different ways to play it those end game directive cards, the missions. 01:12:57.575 --> 01:13:03.596 I think there is a lot of replayability in this game. 01:13:03.596 --> 01:13:24.273 What I really like and I should have maybe talked about this in the Mechanic side of things is you can pull off some pretty cool combos in that game, depending on who your hero is and who the other recruits are. 01:13:24.313 --> 01:13:25.396 That you have Specialists, yep. 01:13:25.536 --> 01:13:26.759 The specialists that you have. 01:13:27.421 --> 01:13:30.570 I mean, you could That was my flaw, i was not playing them. 01:13:31.373 --> 01:13:31.533 Yep. 01:13:31.533 --> 01:13:44.025 So you know I mentioned scarcity of resources, but if you play your people right and you build up your compound or your people, your resistance, whatever you want to call it. 01:13:44.667 --> 01:13:46.512 Yeah, when you buy your heroes, your camp. 01:13:46.532 --> 01:13:47.034 Your camp. 01:13:47.034 --> 01:13:59.794 You could set yourself up for a good combo if you go with your hero here and then you get an extra resource and then another resource for this, and then maybe you fulfill a mission and then you'll get another resource. 01:13:59.794 --> 01:14:02.091 So you could potentially have a big turn. 01:14:02.452 --> 01:14:02.652 Yeah. 01:14:02.813 --> 01:14:12.233 And I think that's neat And that's one thing that I see the potential there, but I haven't been able to pull off a cool combo. 01:14:12.233 --> 01:14:13.315 Does that make sense? 01:14:13.315 --> 01:14:14.276 Yeah Right. 01:14:14.457 --> 01:14:18.493 Yeah, so you can fulfill a mission the same turn that you get it. 01:14:18.493 --> 01:14:23.731 But you can, you know, gain those resources and I have not been able to play. 01:14:23.731 --> 01:14:42.392 I really wanted to play my hero in the right zone, and when to get the extra Mine was like get extra bread when I played it in that battle section, and when I was getting my hero I was needing him in other areas, so that one I didn't get. 01:14:42.392 --> 01:14:44.811 So I wasn't able to do that. 01:14:44.811 --> 01:14:49.025 I was never able to utilize my survivors. 01:14:49.025 --> 01:14:54.872 So another time I play, i could concentrate on that and making sure I got them in the right spot. 01:14:54.872 --> 01:14:59.132 But that, once again, is part of the thinkiness and the strategy behind it. 01:14:59.132 --> 01:15:02.533 Boom, i'm going to end up giving it a higher score than I intended. 01:15:05.816 --> 01:15:10.734 Well, if you think about the last couple of times we played, I did one strategy where I did get a lot of. 01:15:10.734 --> 01:15:13.333 I did recruit a lot of people. 01:15:13.333 --> 01:15:15.716 Yeah, I had a lot of people right. 01:15:15.716 --> 01:15:16.059 Yeah. 01:15:16.059 --> 01:15:21.132 And then there was another time where I went, okay, I'm going to build up my compound. 01:15:21.132 --> 01:15:33.590 Yesterday's strategy was apparently how to suck, but what I was shooting for yesterday was just Instead of getting. 01:15:33.590 --> 01:15:41.279 I did a lot of the moves where you just pick your person. 01:15:41.279 --> 01:15:43.083 Does that make sense? 01:15:43.083 --> 01:15:44.005 What is the one? 01:15:44.871 --> 01:15:47.025 Yeah, the one on the bottom where you get workers. 01:15:47.747 --> 01:15:50.996 Yeah, where you just take a worker and it's not tied to a specialist. 01:15:51.588 --> 01:15:54.025 Yeah, yeah, it's just your basic action with the guy with the fur hat. 01:15:54.507 --> 01:15:56.573 So my first thought was okay, i'm going to. 01:15:56.573 --> 01:15:59.220 I literally had this planned out. 01:15:59.300 --> 01:16:00.025 It was to build a bag. 01:16:00.767 --> 01:16:02.694 Yep, build the bag, Yep. 01:16:02.694 --> 01:16:05.429 So I was going to go in this order It was. 01:16:05.429 --> 01:16:06.136 I have my workers. 01:16:06.136 --> 01:16:08.508 Then the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to get my. 01:16:08.508 --> 01:16:16.914 We're calling them scientists, but they're actually academics, Are you sure? 01:16:16.914 --> 01:16:17.836 I think they're academics? 01:16:17.836 --> 01:16:20.009 Oh, We get our academics. 01:16:20.009 --> 01:16:27.530 And

then so I was going to get There's two academic spots or two worker placement spots that an academic can go to. 01:16:28.246 --> 01:16:36.088 So I was like all right, i'm going to get two academics, and then there was two spots on the board and then I was going to be. 01:16:36.088 --> 01:16:39.542 Now I'm going to get my construction workers. 01:16:39.542 --> 01:16:45.316 Okay, and by the time I got to that point, the game was like half done. 01:16:45.877 --> 01:16:46.137 Yeah. 01:16:46.358 --> 01:16:46.518 Right. 01:16:46.518 --> 01:16:52.923 And then I'm looking at the leadership track and I'm like, oh crap, i'm sucking on this, yeah. 01:16:52.923 --> 01:16:56.610 And then I'm looking at the missions and I'm like, oh, i only got two missions done. 01:16:56.610 --> 01:17:12.813 Okay, this is not a good strategy, but I stuck with it to the end, yeah, and I only ended up with like 35 points, right, but I was just trying to Sure, you know. 01:17:12.913 --> 01:17:18.393 Sure, and I don't know, Well, I pushed my compound up all the way up there. 01:17:18.453 --> 01:17:18.935 Yeah, you did. 01:17:19.045 --> 01:17:38.753 And I realized I wasn't fulfilling enough missions then because I was trying to save all my resources and save everything like that to push my compound And it gave me extra points and maybe You know that last turn is when I pushed it up there, so I didn't need that extra worker at the time. 01:17:38.753 --> 01:17:41.231 That would What it gave me, so I was working on that. 01:17:41.231 --> 01:17:51.295 So far then I wasn't doing as many missions as I normally do, so I think that's where I missed out on a lot of points. 01:17:53.358 --> 01:17:57.015 Yeah, but Yeah, I don't disagree with you at all. 01:17:57.015 --> 01:18:02.025 It was cool to see that you got your compound built all the way up to the top level. 01:18:02.025 --> 01:18:16.005 I mean, that's not a, that's a lot of points just for that, but Yeah, so it was interesting to see how we both did poorly yesterday. 01:18:16.887 --> 01:18:17.748 Yeah, absolutely. 01:18:18.770 --> 01:18:22.637 So What do you think? 01:18:22.637 --> 01:18:24.811 What are you thinking about replayability? 01:18:26.173 --> 01:18:28.025 I like it because of the variability of the cards. 01:18:28.025 --> 01:18:30.113 I think it really makes it. 01:18:30.113 --> 01:18:33.360 And will I stick to a? 01:18:33.360 --> 01:18:39.025 I don't know what kind of strategy I would use, but it's one of those. 01:18:39.025 --> 01:18:47.025 It's like I like to try to do everything and I know I can't, but I have a really hard time not sticking to everything. 01:18:47.025 --> 01:18:55.904 So it's going to be one of those, i don't know, because I like getting all the way up, but I don't think it gave me that benefit. 01:18:55.904 --> 01:19:03.985 So it's going to be interesting playing the next time, but I really I think there's a lot of replayability. 01:19:03.985 --> 01:19:06.025 It's not one of those that I said. 01:19:06.025 --> 01:19:15.025 You know, we pulled it off the shelf not just because we want to review it, but because we wanted to play it, and I think that's a sign of a good game. 01:19:15.025 --> 01:19:19.660 And even though that I don't care for the theme, i still wanted to play it. 01:19:20.925 --> 01:19:26.155 Yeah, you've also said the sign of a good game is one that you think about when you're done playing it. 01:19:26.517 --> 01:19:26.677 Yep. 01:19:27.326 --> 01:19:30.953 And I think about that game a lot, so cool. 01:19:30.953 --> 01:19:36.595 All right, let's move on to the moment of truth. 01:19:36.595 --> 01:19:41.436 Okay, do you want me to give you my summary? 01:19:42.239 --> 01:19:43.222 You, have a summary. 01:19:43.483 --> 01:19:44.025 And my score. 01:19:44.326 --> 01:19:46.614 Well, I don't have a summary, so you might as well go ahead. 01:19:46.614 --> 01:19:48.932 I wasn't going to say too much. 01:19:49.927 --> 01:19:50.891 Oh, okay, that's all right. 01:19:50.891 --> 01:19:52.787 Okay. 01:19:52.787 --> 01:20:01.952 so, like I said, i may have been nitpicky in this, but when it's all said and done, this is a solid 10 out of 10 for me. 01:20:02.273 --> 01:20:05.195 Whoa, it is Whoa. 01:20:05.216 --> 01:20:08.000 It is, it is 100%. 01:20:08.000 --> 01:20:13.262 Whoa, so I think about okay, so the theme that sucks me in right away. 01:20:13.643 --> 01:20:13.985 Yeah, it does. 01:20:14.686 --> 01:20:16.251 Already has an advantage. 01:20:16.271 --> 01:20:18.997 It has okay, Because of the theme right, Yep. 01:20:20.829 --> 01:20:28.025 And as far as a Euro game goes, I think it's a Euro game at its purest. 01:20:28.025 --> 01:20:31.333 It's a pure, just straight up. 01:20:32.416 --> 01:20:32.877 Euro game. 01:20:34.248 --> 01:20:37.737 And I think Stan shines with that. 01:20:37.737 --> 01:20:39.690 He shines with that stuff. 01:20:39.871 --> 01:20:40.092 Yes. 01:20:41.025 --> 01:20:45.336 You know, the artwork for me conveys its theme effortlessly. 01:20:45.336 --> 01:21:02.847 It brings me in, it sucks me in And again it's a masterpiece, a masterpiece from Stan Kordansky, it's a masterpiece from Stanislav Kordansky And Stan Stan. 01:21:02.847 --> 01:21:17.135 If you are listening, you know I've already said it, you're undoubtedly one of my favorite designers And you nailed it with this one. 01:21:17.135 --> 01:21:19.791 Really looking forward to Nova Roma. 01:21:19.791 --> 01:21:22.829 Angie, would you rate this game? 01:21:26.105 --> 01:21:28.231 I would rate it in 8.25. 01:21:28.231 --> 01:21:29.716 Okay, it's a good game. 01:21:29.716 --> 01:21:33.494 It's definitely the Euro game that I'd want to pull. 01:21:33.494 --> 01:21:45.316 I am really looking forward to Nova Roma because and Brandon had mentioned you were going to get that flavor of this game with a different theme. 01:21:45.316 --> 01:21:54.018 So I think that might suck me in even more, because I do love he does a great worker placement. 01:21:54.018 -->

01:22:14.025 So I would like to see it with a different theme, although I would definitely always play this even though it's got this theme, because, like I said, i see enough where I can look past it. 01:22:14.025 --> 01:22:23.740 It's just to me it's not oozing apocalypse to a point that I can't get past it. 01:22:23.740 --> 01:22:37.255 If it had zombies running around then I probably would have a difficult time with it, but I like the mutants are there, but they don't get in my way of playing. 01:22:39.065 --> 01:22:41.311 That said, what you talked about playing with more people. 01:22:41.311 --> 01:22:52.865 I think anytime we play like worker placement games, it's got to feel different with more people, because the boards aren't as congested right now And that's almost. 01:22:52.865 --> 01:23:05.025 I think it would give you that almost area control mechanic that I don't like. 01:23:05.025 --> 01:23:08.773 But this way, when they are taking up spots, you're giving up a resource. 01:23:08.773 --> 01:23:10.377 You have to then balance Do I want there? 01:23:10.377 --> 01:23:12.490 See, it's a strategy. 01:23:12.490 --> 01:23:16.471 It's the thinkiness this game gives me, so I really do. 01:23:16.471 --> 01:23:18.712 It's a solid 8.25. 01:23:19.226 --> 01:23:26.355 And I think another reason why it would be a 10 for me is now again, we've only played it with two people, but I can't imagine it being any different with three or four people. 01:23:26.375 --> 01:23:26.976 It would be tighter. 01:23:29.377 --> 01:23:31.025 I think you're going to be using your resources more. 01:23:31.025 --> 01:23:36.953 You're not going to be able to get your toast all the way up to your resource tracker top of your resource tracker or your bread. 01:23:37.226 --> 01:23:39.932 Like I said, those resources aren't easy to get. 01:23:40.856 --> 01:23:55.979 Yes, but I think when I say it's a Euro game at its purest, it is, and what I like about it is it's not a Euro game that you're going to have a big time investment into. 01:23:55.979 --> 01:23:59.914 I think it's short, but it scratches that. 01:24:00.476 --> 01:24:00.817 It does. 01:24:02.088 --> 01:24:02.569 It's got a good. 01:24:02.569 --> 01:24:11.518 You know I'm thinking 45 minutes, right, at least 45 with two people probably looking at maybe an hour hour and 15 with a higher player count. 01:24:11.518 --> 01:24:21.968 You could probably get more than one playthrough in this in a game night if you played with a group, if your game was digging it and you wanted to do it again, or if not. 01:24:21.968 --> 01:24:23.070 It gives you a good. 01:24:23.070 --> 01:24:26.255 It gives you an opportunity to get more than one game into your game night. 01:24:26.436 --> 01:24:27.436 Yeah, right, yeah. 01:24:29.125 --> 01:24:29.968 But still scratch that Euro game itch. 01:24:31.152 --> 01:24:33.369 Exactly, it's not ARC Nova long. 01:24:34.092 --> 01:24:34.333 Right. 01:24:35.326 --> 01:24:36.729 For me Mars long. 01:24:36.769 --> 01:24:40.838 Yep Agreed, so yeah, cool. 01:24:40.838 --> 01:24:44.633 What did you think about the chase scale, angie? 01:24:45.274 --> 01:24:46.477 It was delightful. 01:24:46.658 --> 01:24:50.673 Yeah, is it a keeper or is it just a back to the drawing board? 01:24:50.834 --> 01:24:51.877 No, no, no, it's cute. 01:24:51.877 --> 01:24:57.591 It's cute, It's individual, it's unique, So that's fine. 01:24:57.811 --> 01:24:59.215 Okay, well, i guess we're keeping it. 01:24:59.215 --> 01:25:03.077 We're keeping it, we're going to keep chase and Gackpan. 01:25:03.077 --> 01:25:03.820 Gackpan. 01:25:04.483 --> 01:25:04.985 Gackpan. 01:25:04.985 --> 01:25:06.533 All right, Angie. 01:25:09.747 --> 01:25:11.994 I guess that wraps up this episode. 01:25:11.994 --> 01:25:14.975 That was our review of resurgence. 01:25:14.975 --> 01:25:21.005 A post apocalyptic masterpiece by the one and only Stan Kordonsky. 01:25:21.005 --> 01:25:24.515 I don't know if anybody calls him this, but we could just call him the Don. 01:25:24.515 --> 01:25:31.338 I don't know if that's a thing or not, but I don't know. 01:25:32.185 --> 01:25:34.935 Stan, we have our socials. 01:25:34.935 --> 01:25:39.377 We're on our email, chasing meeples at yahoocom, and you know what?
