couple. 00:05:29.624 --> 00:05:32.130 There were a couple going on. 00:05:32.130 --> 00:05:35.209 We could probably do the same thing at PhoenixCon that we did last year. 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:38.168 Just grab a couch in the lobby Just grab a couch. 00:05:38.168 --> 00:05:39.043 Start recording. 00:05:39.043 --> 00:05:49.745 As much as we would like to someday get to one of the bigger cons, right now it is just not in the cards for us financially. 00:05:49.745 --> 00:05:52.610 And just family wise right. 00:05:52.932 --> 00:06:06.848 Yeah, we have commitments that we can't just pick up and pick up and go and say here it also yeah, that is an experience that I would just love to bring our son to. 00:06:06.848 --> 00:06:10.548 I would love to be able to bring our son to GenCon. 00:06:10.548 --> 00:06:16.430 I'd love to be able to bring him to I don't know the Dice Tower cruise right. 00:06:16.911 --> 00:06:19.560 However, let's think of the big ones first. 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:21.425 Let's just throw them into crowded. 00:06:21.425 --> 00:06:28.208 Go, big right Go big, stick his headphones on them and but I think it would be a cool experience for him. 00:06:28.660 --> 00:06:35.309 However, here's the problem that Angie and I have Our son doesn't want to have anything to do with. 00:06:35.721 --> 00:06:37.788 We're walking around with his switch the whole time. 00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:40.187 He doesn't want to have anything to do with board games. 00:06:40.187 --> 00:06:45.651 So why bring him into something like that that we know he's not going to like? 00:06:45.651 --> 00:06:47.944 And yeah, he could be on his switch the whole time. 00:06:47.944 --> 00:06:50.531 But how much fun would that be for him? 00:06:50.531 --> 00:06:52.144 I don't think it would be fun for him at all. 00:06:52.144 --> 00:07:00.612 So that's our dilemma how do we get a child who does not want to have anything to do with board games? 00:07:00.612 --> 00:07:02.805 We thought there was a little bit of ray of hope. 00:07:02.805 --> 00:07:07.970 Angie used it a little, used board games for learning sometimes and he played it. 00:07:07.970 --> 00:07:12.889 We have gotten him some cool games at his level. 00:07:13.490 --> 00:07:13.690 Yeah. 00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:16.045 And he still doesn't want to touch it. 00:07:16.045 --> 00:07:17.944 He will not touch a game. 00:07:18.899 --> 00:07:25.223 He does not have the attention span we can get through a round of something. 00:07:25.223 --> 00:07:39.079 When I got through and when I got through Super Mega Lucky Box with him, we got through three quarters of the game, three rounds. 00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:40.625 And that was pretty good. 00:07:40.625 --> 00:07:43.966 That was pretty good, so that's the longest. 00:07:43.966 --> 00:07:49.932 So we did play Carcazon one day and we managed to get pretty well through Carcazon. 00:07:49.932 --> 00:07:57.968 But like a lot of other ones, you get through, or he'll purposely go to sleep. 00:07:58.834 --> 00:07:59.216 He went. 00:07:59.216 --> 00:08:00.882 That is our son's. 00:08:00.882 --> 00:08:06.838 I don't if you want to call it a defense mechanism, maybe right, he can fall asleep like that. 00:08:06.838 --> 00:08:08.944 He doesn't want to do it, he's out like a light. 00:08:09.103 --> 00:08:10.226 He played Quirkle. 00:08:10.226 --> 00:08:10.987 And what does he do?

00:28:39.000 --> 00:28:39.644 What is ex Libris? 00:28:39.644 --> 00:28:49.893 I know that that was kind of one of your games that you've wanted for quite a long time and we ran I think you tried it from a a a. 00:28:49.893 --> 00:28:51.757 Was it a lending library? 00:28:51.757 --> 00:29:07.913 Yes, we had a game store in town that had a lending library and then you didn't see it anywhere, except for one time when we were in another game store and they were selling a used copy of it. 00:29:08.614 --> 00:29:08.875 Yeah. 00:29:08.875 --> 00:29:13.173 And they were selling it for a very expensive it was very expensive for a used copy. 00:29:13.274 --> 00:29:26.834 Yeah, and luckily, luckily, it was just re released as a second edition and it was one of your Christmas presents. 00:29:27.114 --> 00:29:27.395 It was. 00:29:27.395 --> 00:29:29.773 It was an ex Libris. 00:29:29.773 --> 00:29:42.765 You play a librarian and you are trying to build a library and you have six different scoring conditions. 00:29:42.765 --> 00:29:45.805 You have to have a stable library. 00:29:45.805 --> 00:29:54.745 You need to have it in chronological order and alphabetical order, so each one of these cars has a number and a letter. 00:29:54.745 --> 00:30:02.612 So now when you are forming your tableau, which is your library, you need to, you know, put these all in order. 00:30:02.612 --> 00:30:14.578 You have also, there are different topics, subjects, and some you want to avoid, some you want to get, there are like a private goals. 00:30:14.578 --> 00:30:20.738 So there's a lot going on in this game, a lot of factors, a lot of way to score points. 00:30:20.738 --> 00:30:22.724 I like the game. 00:30:22.724 --> 00:30:24.482 I really do your ideas. 00:30:24.482 --> 00:30:30.805 You have to have the best library, because the head librarian is going to come around and judge. 00:30:30.805 --> 00:30:33.614 I enjoy the game. 00:30:33.614 --> 00:30:37.716 I know it fell a little flat for you. 00:30:37.716 --> 00:30:40.695 I've never really see you with AP. 00:30:40.695 --> 00:30:45.457 This game was kind of working on your brain. 00:30:46.549 --> 00:30:49.805 It was, but I don't think it was working on my brain because it was hard. 00:30:49.805 --> 00:30:57.571 I think I was just overthinking, like it wasn't even like analysis, paralysis, oh, what do I do next? 00:30:57.571 --> 00:30:58.233 What do I do next? 00:30:58.233 --> 00:31:00.320 It was more of less. 00:31:00.320 --> 00:31:07.729 I was just overthinking, I think, making it harder than it actually is to play or more complex than it was. 00:31:07.729 --> 00:31:15.805 I think it might have been the way you explained how to make your book show. 00:31:16.448 --> 00:31:20.785 It can only be three columns high, but it can be as wide as you need them. 00:31:20.785 --> 00:31:30.805 So you have to start at a point and then realize, when you're going down the alphabet, where you're going to play some, because you only have three rows. 00:31:30.805 --> 00:31:35.595 So you're kind of trying to pinpoint how you're starting your shelves out. 00:31:37.378 --> 00:31:38.932 Yeah, yeah, it was. 00:31:38.932 --> 00:31:39.979 It's not a. 00:31:39.979 --> 00:31:40.805 It's not a horrible game. 00:31:40.805 --> 00:31:47.579 I would like to play it again, just to make sure that it was me and not the game. 00:31:47.579 --> 00:31:49.490 There's a better way to put it right. 00:31:49.490 --> 00:31:52.989 I didn't see. 00:31:52.989 --> 00:31:57.960 Let's just say by. 00:31:57.960 --> 00:32:01.207 You're not wrong when you say, it fell flat for me. 00:32:01.207 --> 00:32:03.016 I just remember. 00:32:03.016 --> 00:32:05.483 You know you always spoke so highly of that game. 00:32:06.185 --> 00:32:06.907 I enjoy it. 00:32:06.907 --> 00:32:09.643 I enjoy it. 00:32:09.643 --> 00:32:16.436 I want to play it solo, but I hear the solo mode is very difficult, very difficult. 00:32:17.900 --> 00:32:18.502 That's interesting. 00:32:19.545 --> 00:32:21.341 Okay, what is next on the list? 00:32:22.497 --> 00:32:35.242 Well, we'll talk about, let's talk about a Kickstarter that we finally got to the table and this game is

awesome and that game is Age of Comics. 00:32:35.242 --> 00:32:38.905 So that game really resonated with me. 00:32:38.905 --> 00:32:42.363 In my younger days I was a comic collector. 00:32:42.363 --> 00:32:51.501 I do have a collection of comics very well taken care of in the attic and anybody wants to buy one, reach out to us. 00:32:51.501 --> 00:32:53.719 Just kidding Sort of. 00:32:53.719 --> 00:33:03.410 But so the comic book collector in me really really enjoys this game and it's a golden age. 00:33:03.410 --> 00:33:05.483 It takes place in the golden age of comics. 00:33:05.483 --> 00:33:07.235 So what is the golden age of comics, everybody? 00:33:07.235 --> 00:33:30.220 Well, this is the age where you had all of the classics like Superman, batman, when they were first started, when people were just just it was, the media was new, the media was was fresh and budding and and it was, it was good, it was good times and yes. 00:33:30.220 --> 00:33:33.162 So anyway, that's the golden age of comics, right? 00:33:33.162 --> 00:33:36.021 What is the game about? 00:33:37.498 --> 00:33:46.782 Well, the game is you are a comic book publisher, you're a publishing company and you have to go through the I guess we'll call it. 00:33:46.782 --> 00:33:51.349 It's your job as the publisher to find the writer. 00:33:51.349 --> 00:33:59.484 You need an artist that is good in the genre that you, that your writer is and you have like superhero comics. 00:33:59.484 --> 00:34:12.447 You can do romance novels, you can do true crime, you can do science fiction, you can do horror and you want to try to match your writers and your artists together for boy for points. 00:34:12.447 --> 00:34:18.599 Right, if they match, you get better points, you get more fans, if you want to call it, and that's what it is. 00:34:19.574 --> 00:34:32.519 Now you do have the ability to have a writer that is good at romance novels and put them in a horror genre and mix and match, but you're not going to get as many points because thematically it's probably not going to be that good. 00:34:32.519 --> 00:34:37.005 What you also have to do is you have to build some hype. 00:34:37.005 --> 00:34:38.038 You can build some hype. 00:34:38.038 --> 00:34:45.760 Get out on the street, get on those news at those newsstands and just hey gang Before the social media right. 00:34:45.780 --> 00:34:48.822 Yep, you know, get that guy out on the street wearing the sandwich board. 00:34:48.822 --> 00:34:51.501 Check out in about a week. 00:34:51.501 --> 00:34:54.047 In about a week you're going to see the newest. 00:34:54.047 --> 00:35:02.838 Whatever, I'm not even going to do it, you're going to see the newest episode or the newest issue of blah blah comics and it's going to be great. 00:35:02.838 --> 00:35:04.480 You know, get that hype up there. 00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:08.164 You can continue to build hype when, until you actually publish it. 00:35:08.164 --> 00:35:13.440 Once you publish that, now you've got a fan level and that is basically your points. 00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:17.141 The longer the comic is out there, it's going to do. 00:35:17.141 --> 00:35:20.127 The fans are going to basically go down every round. 00:35:20.127 --> 00:35:23.864 The game ends after five rounds and the person with the most points wins. 00:35:23.864 --> 00:35:28.695 The comic collector in me really enjoyed this game and you would. 00:35:28.695 --> 00:35:29.257 You think about it? 00:35:30.714 --> 00:35:37.688 I love worker placement and this is an excellent, excellent worker placement game. 00:35:37.688 --> 00:35:46.556 I mean, if that's your jam, you'll love this game because there are so many areas to go to. 00:35:46.556 --> 00:35:52.777 Like Chris was saying, you can go, you know, you can go get the writers, you can get the artists. 00:35:52.777 --> 00:35:55.766 You get money, you can go and get your royalties. 00:35:55.766 --> 00:35:58.319 There's another spot to have it published. 00:35:58.319 --> 00:36:00.846 So there is so many things. 00:36:00.846 --> 00:36:02.761 So that's an excellent worker placement game. 00:36:02.761 --> 00:36:06.865 You build your tableau of comics. 00:36:06.865 --> 00:36:07.597 It's a very good game. 00:36:07.597 --> 00:36:11.746 I really I don't have anything to add to it other than it is really good game. 00:36:11.746 --> 00:36:16.244 I love worker placement and I think it's a excellent, excellent example of it. 00:36:17.186 --> 00:36:27.545 Yeah, definitely need to get more plays in of the game to make a final judgment call on it, but right now it was a very pleasant experience and I really enjoyed it. 00:36:27.545 --> 00:36:33.625 The game may be a little bit samey every time you play it, but I'm not too sure We'll have. 00:36:33.705 --> 00:36:53.326 Yeah, I, you know, I think there's some variability there because during the rounds you have different goals but there are different genres that you flip over and you know it depends on what cards come up with us. 00:36:53.326 --> 00:36:56.262 That last round I really needed. 00:36:56.262 --> 00:36:58.362 I was trying to do a superhero comic. 00:36:58.362 --> 00:37:13.427 The writers were not worth very much, they were worth like one point, and on the city where you can get your fans, the only fan was worth six points and there was no way my comic was going to be worth six points. 00:37:13.427 --> 00:37:15.300 It was only going to be worth four at the most. 00:37:15.300 --> 00:37:24.487 So my last comic kind of wasn't as great and it bond, which I'm sure there's comics that bomb right, plenty, plenty. 00:37:24.487 --> 00:37:29.403 So that was my last comic to not do as well as my other ones. 00:37:29.403 --> 00:37:34.083 Okay, so it's one that was good and I think you won that game. 00:37:34.764 --> 00:37:37.099 Yes, it was, I won that game. 00:37:37.099 --> 00:37:44.940 You know, surprisingly, we got we got quite a few plays and of some games since the last episode, which is good.

00:37:45.576 --> 00:37:57.926 Well, a game that we played several times is a new game from New Kingdom Gaming and it is called New Kingdom Gardeners and this is a very interesting game. 00:37:57.926 --> 00:37:59.961 It is a very quick playing game. 00:37:59.961 --> 00:38:05.205 You can extend it a little bit, but everybody has a player board. 00:38:05.205 --> 00:38:08.379 You have a gardener and you're trying to. 00:38:08.379 --> 00:38:12.460 You're trying to complete and have the best garden. 00:38:12.460 --> 00:38:20.403 So when the master gardener comes back and he's going to judge your workers and what you have going on here, it's not a very high scoring. 00:38:20.403 --> 00:38:24.042 So it's not like one of the games where you're going to end up with like a hundred points. 00:38:24.042 --> 00:38:25.978 That's not the type of. 00:38:25.978 --> 00:38:29.315 At first, you know, I was kind of disappointed because I'm really used to these zeros. 00:38:29.315 --> 00:38:30.219 I have these huge. 00:38:30.219 --> 00:38:34.416 You know you really can score some points and it's not going to be that way. 00:38:36.054 --> 00:38:41.627 But it is so interesting because you plant, you plant plant cards. 00:38:41.627 --> 00:38:50.315 There are some miracle cards and then they're vines and each card is named that one. 00:38:50.315 --> 00:38:54.905 We hit like wrath and I think there's vanity and stuff like that. 00:38:54.905 --> 00:39:01.187 So as you lay down your plants they're going to vine. 00:39:01.187 --> 00:39:07.380 So they're going to be kind of pushed off your board and they're going to circle around to the next person's board. 00:39:07.380 --> 00:39:13.279 So if you have a thorn it's going to get pushed to the next person's thorn and kind of around the table. 00:39:13.775 --> 00:39:17.625 So that is a very interesting mechanic and you want to end up at the end of the game. 00:39:17.625 --> 00:39:25.942 You want to have a garden in front of you instead of a bunch of thorns, because the thorns are going to be minus three points and, like I said, it's not a huge scoring game. 00:39:25.942 --> 00:39:29.301 So minus three points are going to make a very big deal. 00:39:29.301 --> 00:39:36.264 So that's a very interesting aspect. 00:39:36.264 --> 00:39:53.226 The deck is also very interesting because the last 10 cards of the deck your master gardener is going to be shuffled in there, so you don't know when the game is going to end, because once you pull the master gardener card, the game ends. 00:39:53.226 --> 00:39:58.338 So that you know. 00:39:58.940 --> 00:40:11.446 I think we had one game where the Master Gardener came up really quickly, very quickly, and suddenly we're like uh-oh, and I'm left with a really, really bad garden. 00:40:11.446 --> 00:40:15.409 You know, I was surprised I didn't get negative points for that one, yeah. 00:40:15.955 --> 00:40:17.898 I don't know if could you get negative points in that game. 00:40:17.898 --> 00:40:19.101

I think you could. 00:40:19.121 --> 00:40:37.464 I think it makes sense, you could right you could, because you have the thorns, yeah, and for some reason you don't have enough workers built up, because, as you have different type of workers, there's the manager and an assistant, so there's different workers and the workers are worth points. 00:40:37.464 --> 00:40:38.780 They're usually worth one point. 00:40:38.780 --> 00:40:45.440 If you can stack them and have like a team of assistants, then you get obviously more points and get a bonus. 00:40:45.440 --> 00:40:58.224 But for some reason, if you haven't built up a team, if you have three or four thorns sitting there, for some reason, I mean you'd be minus nine, nice 12 points. 00:40:58.224 --> 00:41:01.168 You would really be hurting, yeah, you would be hurting. 00:41:01.168 --> 00:41:07.766 So, like theoretically, you could end up with negative points. 00:41:09.920 --> 00:41:11.799 Yeah, I quite enjoyed that game. 00:41:11.799 --> 00:41:19.502 It's like Andrew said, it's a quick play, it's just there is a lot of interaction in the game. 00:41:19.502 --> 00:41:21.215 Yes, it can be. 00:41:21.215 --> 00:41:22.799 It can be. 00:41:22.799 --> 00:41:28.353 You can either be we'll call it, take thatty or you can also be helpful. 00:41:28.353 --> 00:41:45.504 Yeah, and you get rewarded for being helpful on the other persons, so you could prune some thorns off of another player's board instead of doing it off of your board, and you would get more rewards, more points for it. 00:41:45.885 --> 00:41:48.359 Yes, you don't have to worry about the thorn in my car. 00:41:48.359 --> 00:41:49.904 But then you get rewarded. 00:41:49.904 --> 00:41:54.217 You get the three points yes, Instead of yeah, yeah. 00:41:54.237 --> 00:41:59.982 At the end of the game, instead of getting yeah, you take that thorn, you put it off to your side and you get three points for doing that. 00:41:59.982 --> 00:42:03.523 So very interesting, very interesting gameplay. 00:42:03.523 --> 00:42:05.320 I quite enjoy the game. 00:42:05.320 --> 00:42:15.779 I do believe I would be willing I actually I would like to do a deep dive into this game, into a later episode. 00:42:15.779 --> 00:42:17.400 That's how much I enjoy this game. 00:42:17.400 --> 00:42:20.321 What do you say? 00:42:21.214 --> 00:42:21.978 That would be. 00:42:21.978 --> 00:42:24.961 I think that's a great idea and it was kind of interesting. 00:42:24.961 --> 00:42:39.404 I was in a Facebook group and I just heard somebody else talking about it and the designer, jack Dunbar's in there and I was able just to click a link and buy it directly from the publisher and it came very quickly. 00:42:39.404 --> 00:42:48.859 I wasn't expecting it to come that quick, but yeah, I would like to do an actual review of it where we talk a little bit more about all the mechanics and all the things that go on in it. 00:42:49.000 --> 00:42:50.342 Yeah, call it a deep dive. 00:42:50.903 --> 00:42:51.304 Deep dive. 00:42:51.464 --> 00:42:51.865 Deep dive. 00:42:51.865 --> 00:42:55.462 I want to get away from the word review. 00:42:55.462 --> 00:43:00.039 Not that I think they're bad, I just don't think we do it well. 00:43:01.857 --> 00:43:02.440 There you go. 00:43:05.697 --> 00:43:18.034 But absolutely we should do that, and some of the best games out there are those little independent games that not many people know of, so I'd like to get that game out there to more people's ears. 00:43:18.074 --> 00:43:18.757 That's a great idea. 00:43:19.420 --> 00:43:20.445 So all right. 00:43:20.445 --> 00:43:25.744 All right and lastly, Ooh, I don't even know if I want to talk about this one. 00:43:25.744 --> 00:43:27.134 This was so frustrating. 00:43:27.134 --> 00:43:29.842 Angie, what was the last game? 00:43:30.694 --> 00:43:32.422 It was a great Western Trail. 00:43:32.422 --> 00:43:38.282 We started it pretty late at night and it was your suggestion, and we couldn't even get through the game. 00:43:38.282 --> 00:43:39.900 It was so late at night. 00:43:40.174 --> 00:43:40.978 It got to a point. 00:43:40.978 --> 00:43:46.525 First of all, we haven't played that game in a very long time. 00:43:47.587 --> 00:43:47.807 Yeah. 00:43:49.697 --> 00:43:58.923 And I mean that game was a best of my month actually, like it was literally one of our top video topics. 00:43:59.023 --> 00:44:00.728 Yeah, I mean it's a good game. 00:44:00.728 --> 00:44:03.094 It's a great game, but it's not difficult. 00:44:03.094 --> 00:44:06.324 But once you get out of it for a while, those little rules are. 00:44:06.795 --> 00:44:13.364 I was so frustrated it was screwed up the meat market. 00:44:13.404 --> 00:44:33.047 Yeah, oh, it was so frustrating to me and what made it worse is like I'm like we're going around and we're going, and then we sell our cattle and then you know you go around again if you've played the game before and I think we're I was on my second time around and Angie goes you're doing something wrong. 00:44:33.047 --> 00:44:35.321 I'm like what do you mean? 00:44:35.321 --> 00:44:36.278 I'm doing something wrong. 00:44:36.278 --> 00:44:41.282 You used to get so many points every time you went to sell your cattle. 00:44:41.282 --> 00:44:43.146 What are you doing wrong? 00:44:43.146 --> 00:44:44.108 What are you doing differently? 00:44:44.108 --> 00:44:46.761 I'm like I don't know. 00:44:46.761 --> 00:44:53.483 And then you started like and then you got into my head and I was doing wrong. 00:44:57.280 --> 00:44:59.318 What was I doing differently, oh my goodness. 00:44:59.318 --> 00:45:07.563 And then we got to a point where it was so late I'm like falling asleep at the table. 00:45:07.563 --> 00:45:14.518 We had to get up early and I was like, let's just, I'm done, I'm done. 00:45:14.518 --> 00:45:16.239 We cannot finish this game. 00:45:16.239 --> 00:45:17.483 Let's finish it tomorrow. 00:45:17.483 --> 00:45:19.922 We'll leave it set up and we

never ended up finishing it anyway. 00:45:21.138 --> 00:45:27.139 But oh wow, talk about can't start that one at nine o'clock at night and I think it was that late. 00:45:27.895 --> 00:45:34.396 It might have been that we started it so late, and trying to refresh ourselves with the rules and everything. 00:45:34.396 --> 00:45:38.826 And I wait, not a bad game. 00:45:38.826 --> 00:45:41.085 I quite enjoy the game. 00:45:41.085 --> 00:45:42.920 I quite enjoy the game. 00:45:42.920 --> 00:45:52.960 But talk about a game that, when you stop playing, when you, I don't know, I was almost like playing it again for the first time for me. 00:45:53.099 --> 00:45:53.721 Yeah, right. 00:45:53.721 --> 00:45:58.505 Well, there's the, and I had you had. 00:45:58.505 --> 00:46:00.210 What did I call you last time? 00:46:00.210 --> 00:46:06.144 You were like a cattle baron, it's a cattle baron and there is a not a mechanism but you can. 00:46:06.846 --> 00:46:14.045 Essentially, when you are on the space that you can buy cattle, you can give up. 00:46:14.045 --> 00:46:21.425 Essentially, you can give up buying cattle to like, refill or add cattle to the market. 00:46:21.425 --> 00:46:28.543 And we weren't doing that or I could have been doing that, because I was going past it and not buying anything and I could have been doing that and I didn't. 00:46:28.543 --> 00:46:31.683 So we were like running down to one cow. 00:46:31.683 --> 00:46:34.783 I was like how is this happening? 00:46:35.295 --> 00:46:39.045 Because we started out with a lot of I can't remember what kind of cows they were. 00:46:39.045 --> 00:46:45.806 We started out with a lot of them and it was just, and it was a little bit more of expensive one, I don't know. 00:46:45.806 --> 00:46:50.004 Then we just kind of like and you need a variety of cows. 00:46:50.004 --> 00:46:56.239 So if you're buying a whole bunch of the same cow, then it doesn't help you at the end when you get to selling them. 00:46:56.239 --> 00:47:03.557 So I think that was a big thing, that was really a big thing and it was probably. 00:47:03.557 --> 00:47:14.379 It was my mistake I'm not going to say only my mistake, but I am the one with the rulebook and it is what would help you win last time. 00:47:15.536 --> 00:47:33.674 Yeah, whatever is what it is, we're listening to a podcast hosted by two people who just had that happen and admitted to you guys that we've been playing silver and gold wrong for years. 00:47:35.641 --> 00:47:36.864 How are we playing it around again? 00:47:37.594 --> 00:47:39.801 We weren't adding in the coins or points. 00:47:39.801 --> 00:47:40.503 We were doing it. 00:47:40.503 --> 00:47:42.038 We weren't doing the individual. 00:47:42.079 --> 00:47:42.701 We were waiting. 00:47:42.701 --> 00:47:45.041 Yeah, we were doing the coins at the end of the round. 00:47:45.775 --> 00:47:47.080 So I love you all. 00:47:47.080 --> 00:47:49.061 I love all you listeners. 00:47:49.061 --> 00:47:58.340 However, next

racks and I'm searching through the racks and here's a lot of Arkham Horror, mentions of mansions, of madness and shove between the two. 00:53:40.822 --> 00:53:43.379 I'm looking at this box, this dusty box, and it says Phil Walker Harding. 00:53:43.379 --> 00:53:45.893 I'm like what? 00:53:45.893 --> 00:53:47.259 Pull it out, it is cacao. 00:53:47.259 --> 00:54:01.379 And then it cacao is a tile laying game in which players take turns laying down the square tiles and if you lay them next to each other, you can activate the tiles. 00:54:01.379 --> 00:54:04.208 You can put your little meeple on there, activate it. 00:54:04.208 --> 00:54:07.379 You can get your cacao beans. 00:54:07.379 --> 00:54:10.128 You could sell them at market. 00:54:10.128 --> 00:54:13.668 You can put them on your player board. 00:54:13.668 --> 00:54:19.356 The more beans, the more points you get and the better you do. 00:54:19.356 --> 00:54:20.379 It's a pretty simple game. 00:54:20.379 --> 00:54:28.112 It's a pretty simple game Tile laying not something that's unique for Phil, but it's really enjoyable. 00:54:28.112 --> 00:54:29.844 I really like this game. 00:54:31.688 --> 00:54:34.217 All right, my number four. 00:54:34.217 --> 00:54:37.809 And you wanted to give me some of that cacao that you've been harvesting. 00:54:37.809 --> 00:54:42.403 Let me mix it on up in a nice yummy, yummy batter. 00:54:42.403 --> 00:54:53.599 Preheat my oven to 455 degrees and make myself some gingerbread, because my number four is gingerbread house Right. 00:54:53.800 --> 00:55:02.206 Once upon a time, a witch lived alone in her house in the depths of the forest, and you know what her hobby was Making some of them, gingerbread cookies. 00:55:02.206 --> 00:55:11.855 In a matter of fact, angie, that witch loved gingerbread so much that she made her entire house out of that gingerbread. 00:55:11.855 --> 00:55:25.673 Unfortunately, she wasn't the only person who loved gingerbread, so a bunch of rude fairy tale characters passed by and they start eating their walls and they start eating her windows and they start eating her doors. 00:55:25.673 --> 00:55:27.985 And one day that witch decided you know what? 00:55:27.985 --> 00:55:37.453 I've had enough of all these people helping themselves and paying attention to which types of gingerbread those greedy intruders like the most. 00:55:37.453 --> 00:55:41.344 She figured out a way to get rid of them all, and you know how she did that? 00:55:41.344 --> 00:55:49.170 Well, I'll tell you, and you, you can figure it out how she did it yourself by playing the game. 00:55:49.740 --> 00:56:12.379 So in that game, you take a three by three grid and you cover symbols that showed four different types of gingerbreads and each one of those some of them also have special actions on them and the tiles may also be placed on existing tiles and basically you're building a 3D structure in front of you. 00:56:12.379 --> 00:56:22.379 If you cover two of the same symbols, you get a bonus gingerbread or action and victory points are awarded for building the tallest structure. 00:56:22.379 --> 00:56:26.630 You also, basically, you complete orders. 00:56:26.630 --> 00:56:36.403 So basically you'll have a card that says this character likes this type of gingerbread and basically you get. 00:56:36.403 --> 00:56:49.610 You get the resources and you can purchase those people, and you get them, you get them and in the end, the player with the most victory points wins. 00:56:49.610 --> 00:56:54.379 And that is my number four gingerbread house. 00:56:58.187 --> 00:56:59.049 Number three. 00:57:01.442 --> 00:57:14.054 My number three is gingerbread house, the 2018 game about, yes, making a gingerbread house. 00:57:14.054 --> 00:57:16.379 You said everything really well. 00:57:16.379 --> 00:57:30.791 The only thing I would add is that your fairytale creatures some of them are good ones and some of them are villains, and so when you have your scoring objectives, you may have some that would. 00:57:30.791 --> 00:57:34.379 You would like more villains or you would not like villains. 00:57:34.379 --> 00:57:41.379 So sometimes there's different points based on are you getting which fairytale creatures you are getting? 00:57:41.379 --> 00:57:44.869 But other than that, you really you nailed it. 00:57:44.869 --> 00:57:49.379 You, you frosted the roof of the gingerbread house. 00:57:49.379 --> 00:57:53.310 I know the other comment is there cacao and gingerbread? 00:57:54.222 --> 00:57:56.329 You can make chocolate gingerbread cookies, why not? 00:57:57.885 --> 00:58:02.250 Okay, you know, if somebody out there makes chocolate gingerbread. 00:58:03.802 --> 00:58:06.790 Send Angie the recipe because I would love to try it. 00:58:09.608 --> 00:58:12.379 All right, all right, all right. 00:58:12.379 --> 00:58:15.889 So what is your number three. 00:58:16.721 --> 00:58:19.228 So a chocolate gingerbread cookie is probably a treasure. 00:58:19.228 --> 00:58:35.592 It is probably a treasure that many people would say is worth silver, maybe, maybe even gold, and that makes my number three silver and gold. 00:58:35.592 --> 00:58:50.295 So in this game everybody gets treasure maps and maybe where X marks the spot is where you're going to find that chocolate gingerbread cookie. 00:58:50.295 --> 00:58:53.465 And how are you going to know if you're going to find that? 00:58:53.465 --> 00:58:58.054 You're going to find out by taking an expedition card. 00:58:58.054 --> 00:59:02.379 There's a deck and in that deck it's a deck with a question mark on it. 00:59:02.379 --> 00:59:04.126 That's your expedition card deck. 00:59:04.126 --> 00:59:12.359 You are going to flip that expedition card over and when that card is revealed there's going to be a polyamino shape on there. 00:59:12.359 --> 00:59:25.379 You're going to have a dry erase marker and you are going to mark off that symbol on the symbol that is on the card, on your map, that shape.

00:59:25.379 --> 00:59:32.989 If you cannot do that, you must at least put one X on there, mark off one square on your treasure map. 00:59:32.989 --> 00:59:41.293 You're going to continue to mark your treasure maps until seven out of the eight expedition cards are revealed. 00:59:41.293 --> 00:59:45.670 Once that happens, there's going to be. 00:59:45.670 --> 00:59:47.355 That's going to be the end of the route. 00:59:48.257 --> 00:59:52.379 After a total of four rounds, each player calculates your victory points and the game ends. 00:59:52.379 --> 00:59:55.907 So let's talk about. 00:59:55.907 --> 00:59:58.292 It's pretty simple. 00:59:58.292 --> 01:00:06.172 I don't want to, I don't want to drag this out any longer than I than I have to, but you, basically, you flip a card, you make the shape on your treasure map. 01:00:06.172 --> 01:00:12.359 Once you fill up your treasure map, you now completed that map and you draw another treasure map. 01:00:12.359 --> 01:00:14.379 So it's a pretty simple game. 01:00:14.379 --> 01:00:20.379 You're marking off squares, you're flipping cards, and that is my number three Angie, silver and Gold. 01:00:24.148 --> 01:00:25.031 Number two. 01:00:26.801 --> 01:00:46.371 My number two, chris, is a 2021 game, which is a nice little interesting game that I happen to find in a little game store, little toy shop in the basement of where I work and that is super mega lucky box. 01:00:46.371 --> 01:00:57.331 This is a game that I think I saw at Foster the Meeple and I thought it was kind of silly and I'm thinking the name is kind of silly. 01:00:57.331 --> 01:01:07.379 It was really hokey looking box and I picked it up and I thought, oh, all right, I always like to give her some business every once in a while. 01:01:07.379 --> 01:01:12.891 So I bought the game and, holy moly, do I like this flipping right game. 01:01:14.141 --> 01:01:38.319 Your cards they're just these tiny little three by three grids and they have random numbers in each of the little squares and it's almost like playing tic-tac-toe in a way, because they are numbered one through nine and during each round you're going to flip cards which are also numbered one through nine and, very simply, you're going to cross that number off on your card. 01:01:38.319 --> 01:01:54.213 When you complete a roll or column you're going to get a bonus and any card that you fill up you're going to set aside and during the end of the round you score up your card any bonuses that you can add up on that card. 01:01:54.213 --> 01:02:00.339 Your game lasts for four rounds and then after the fourth round, you total up the rounds on your. 01:02:00.339 --> 01:02:09.295 And the interesting thing here, chris, is that as your rounds progress, your score, your cards, are worth less and less. 01:02:09.295 --> 01:02:13.379 So you want to try to fill up the more cards you can early on. 01:02:14.384 --> 01:02:17.379 But this is a fast-paced game, small footprint. 01:02:17.379 --> 01:02:22.379 It is one of my favorite games to solo, thank you. 01:02:22.379 --> 01:02:32.339 It is also one of the games that I have actually gotten game to play in kind of a tricky way, because I told them we were doing math and I slipped him that game in. 01:02:32.339 --> 01:02:37.379 So I don't tell him we're going to play a game to do math, I tell him we're going to do math and then play a game. 01:02:37.379 --> 01:02:40.379 That's one of my ways to get him to play a game with me. 01:02:40.379 --> 01:02:45.384 So my number two is Super Mega Lucky Box. 01:02:47.406 --> 01:02:53.938 My number two makes you super, mega lucky, because that is also my number two. 01:02:53.938 --> 01:02:57.713 You, you did a really good job explaining the game. 01:02:57.713 --> 01:03:05.958 It's bingo, but it is the best version of bingo you, me and all of our listeners will ever play. 01:03:05.958 --> 01:03:13.955 So if you have not had a chance to play this game, what are you waiting? 01:03:14.136 --> 01:03:15.647 for Number one. 01:03:18.744 --> 01:03:20.509 And my number one. 01:03:20.509 --> 01:03:22.985 You may never guess what it is, chris. 01:03:22.985 --> 01:03:39.154 It is a small box game that I found on a discount table in Appleton, wisconsin, at the Gnome Games is something that I saw Mr Garcia play from the Dice Tower is one of my favorite reviewers and he kept talking up this game. 01:03:39.154 --> 01:03:40.543 It is silver and gold. 01:03:40.543 --> 01:03:42.632 Yes, it was silver and gold. 01:03:42.632 --> 01:03:44.829 You described that game so well. 01:03:44.829 --> 01:03:52.132 I don't need to say much more about it other than it is a take with you anywhere game. 01:03:52.132 --> 01:03:54.007 Take with you anywhere. 01:03:54.007 --> 01:03:56.032 Love this game. 01:03:56.032 --> 01:03:57.115 It is my number one. 01:03:57.115 --> 01:04:03.313 Chris did a great job of explaining it, so why don't you go ahead, chris, and tell us what your number one is? 01:04:05.025 --> 01:04:05.969 I will, angie. 01:04:05.969 --> 01:04:07.106 So we've already. 01:04:07.106 --> 01:04:10.574 We've already been to summer camp. 01:04:10.574 --> 01:04:18.498 We've already had a delicious gingerbread cookie. 01:04:18.498 --> 01:04:29.728 We got lucky filling out our treasure maps and found a super, mega lucky box full of chocolate gingerbread cookies. 01:04:29.728 --> 01:04:33.570 And now you know what. 01:04:33.570 --> 01:04:50.357 It's time for us to grow some potatoes, grow some corn and some cocoa on the slopes of mountains, because, if that's what you love, luckily this game is going to just scratch that for you. 01:04:51.018 --> 01:04:52.000 What game am I talking about? 01:04:52.000 --> 01:04:53.407 I'm talking about Lama Land. 01:04:53.407 --> 01:05:12.114 In Lama Land, you play the role of a Lama farmer Not really, you play the role of a farmer who is growing said resources that I mentioned before potatoes, corn and cocoa and you're getting some help from some

Lama friends of yours. 01:05:12.114 --> 01:05:17.435 It's another one of those three dimensional grid games that Phil Walker Harding does very well. 01:05:17.435 --> 01:05:20.692 He's very good at that spatial puzzle. 01:05:20.692 --> 01:05:29.728 So you want to go up in height and basically, as you cover crop, cover shapes, you get the crop underneath it. 01:05:29.728 --> 01:05:34.455 You use those crops to obtain Lama cards. 01:05:34.455 --> 01:05:57.030 Lama cards give you victory points, but they also allow you to place a Lama on your farm and the game plays about 45 minutes and you're going to have an impressive crop growing area in front of you and you're going to have a bunch of little llamas all over the place, all over the place being all cuddly and cute and Lama like. 01:05:57.030 --> 01:06:03.176 So that is my number one, lama land. 01:06:03.176 --> 01:06:10.148 A lot of people say Lama land is a mixture of gingerbread, house and Bear in park. 01:06:10.504 --> 01:06:11.007 Bear in park. 01:06:11.007 --> 01:06:20.353 Take the best of gingerbread house, take the best of Bear in park, smush it up together and you've got Lama land. 01:06:20.353 --> 01:06:23.250 Do you need to play Lama land? 01:06:23.250 --> 01:06:25.531 If you played those two, I don't know. 01:06:25.531 --> 01:06:31.056 I enjoy playing gingerbread house and I enjoy playing Lama land. 01:06:31.684 --> 01:06:32.842 We've never played Bear in park. 01:06:33.025 --> 01:06:34.228 We've never played Bear in park. 01:06:34.228 --> 01:06:40.793 Some people might say eh, eh, but I really enjoy the game. 01:06:40.793 --> 01:06:43.157 So that's it, Number one. 01:06:44.344 --> 01:06:48.528 The interesting thing about Lama land, the thing that I really like about it, are the objective cards. 01:06:48.528 --> 01:07:06.717 You choose which objectives you're going to go for and there's several at the beginning of the game that are laid out and you take turns, placing, like a little worker, on which objective you want and at what level, because there are different scoring levels for each objective card. 01:07:06.717 --> 01:07:16.076 If you get to one first, you get the highest level off of that one, or you're going to get the most points for completing that level or for completing that objective. 01:07:16.076 --> 01:07:19.952 So I think that's very interesting and I really enjoy that part of the game. 01:07:22.056 --> 01:07:22.577 Me too. 01:07:22.577 --> 01:07:25.186 That's my number one, angie. 01:07:25.186 --> 01:07:26.326 I'm surprised I'm. 01:07:26.326 --> 01:07:34.853 I guess I'm not, I shouldn't be surprised, but there's there's two things I'm surprised about your list One explorers isn't even on it. 01:07:34.853 --> 01:07:36.469 I thought you really enjoyed that game. 01:07:36.469 --> 01:07:38.830 I thought it would have been a top five game for you. 01:07:38.830 --> 01:07:39.371 I really do. 01:07:39.371 --> 01:07:41.810 Where would, where would have explorers been for you on your list?
