chasers listen. 00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:24.282 I had really good intentions with organizing this room. 00:23:24.282 --> 00:23:36.736 I bought contractor garbage bags to take out some of the big things that I don't even want to look at anymore, just get rid of it. 00:23:36.736 --> 00:23:44.456 But there's like there's like a leg massager thing that I bought and that whole thing could fit in one contractor bag. 00:23:44.456 --> 00:23:46.580 So Facebook marketplace. 00:23:46.580 --> 00:23:48.993 I don't even know if I want to put it there. 00:23:48.993 --> 00:23:53.267 So, so, yeah, so there's that, but anyway, you know what? 00:23:53.768 --> 00:24:04.617 It's perfect for another episode of board games and banter, where I bring out useless things that we have never used, that we bought and never returned to the store. 00:24:04.705 --> 00:24:07.365 You haven't done one of those in a very long time on our YouTube channel. 00:24:07.525 --> 00:24:12.176 The lighting was really bad, but I thought that was rather entertaining. 00:24:12.256 --> 00:24:12.858 Yeah, that was good. 00:24:13.267 --> 00:24:18.795 I did have people follow along about my journey into finding good acrylic fake nails. 00:24:18.795 --> 00:24:25.354 I think I did show everybody that we had a plunger that we bought and never returned to the store. 00:24:25.354 --> 00:24:27.692 Here's the ironic thing, chris we're using it now. 00:24:27.692 --> 00:24:28.634 We are using that plunger. 00:24:28.765 --> 00:24:35.586 Yes, so, to get back on to your original question did I accomplish everything that I set out to or things that I could have done while I was off? 00:24:35.586 --> 00:24:43.508 If I get a job, no, I feel like there's more stuff I could have done, but did I do what matters? 00:24:43.508 --> 00:24:48.293 Yes, gabe is loving having his dad home. 00:24:49.114 --> 00:24:49.434 He is. 00:24:50.916 --> 00:24:55.901 And I'm getting some well-needed dad and Gabe time. 00:24:55.921 --> 00:24:56.502 Yes, you are. 00:24:56.502 --> 00:25:07.213 This morning, when you were on the phone with your phone interview, he's downstairs looking for you and I was so afraid he was going to start to do that stairway knock. 00:25:07.213 --> 00:25:08.977 He does when he wants our attention. 00:25:08.977 --> 00:25:17.830 When we're up here, you hear this little knock on the wall of our stairs and I'm like, no, no, no, daddy's on the phone. 00:25:17.830 --> 00:25:21.331 He'll be down in a little while. 00:25:21.432 --> 00:25:23.451 Yeah, I love that kid so much. 00:25:23.451 --> 00:25:27.374 Did we get enough podcasts or games played? 00:25:27.474 --> 00:25:28.256 No, absolutely not. 00:25:28.256 --> 00:25:29.330 That's really kind of what I. 00:25:30.127 --> 00:25:30.971 I know that's what you meant. 00:25:30.971 --> 00:25:36.297 We should have been recording episode after episode after episode after episode. 00:25:36.926 --> 00:25:41.795 You know, here's kind of the crazy thing I was off of work during the

pandemic and you were not. 00:25:41.795 --> 00:25:51.588 And I know I think I've said this before, but there's this time that sometimes you have that you could start a hobby, Because we really didn't start. 00:25:51.588 --> 00:25:53.975 A lot of people started podcasts during the pandemic. 00:25:53.975 --> 00:25:54.436 We didn't. 00:25:54.745 --> 00:25:56.129 We waited until like two years after. 00:25:56.149 --> 00:25:57.031 Yeah, we waited until after. 00:25:57.031 --> 00:26:00.589 So I did afterwards think about, you know, I had this time. 00:26:00.589 --> 00:26:02.434 What did I do with my time? 00:26:02.434 --> 00:26:09.613 Why did I not, you know, do something useful, learn to knit or crafts and stuff? 00:26:09.613 --> 00:26:26.158 I've had time in my life where, suddenly, you know, the time's gone by and it was like, you know, I could have really done something, not even beneficial, but just maybe learned a skill learned a skill yeah, it's how to sew my own pants, and you know. 00:26:26.605 --> 00:26:28.951 And bringing it back, Chris, bringing it back. 00:26:28.951 --> 00:26:30.656 We have been playing games at night. 00:26:32.285 --> 00:26:33.626 So let's start. 00:26:33.626 --> 00:26:39.732 Well, obviously, we had a quiz about a zoo, and one of the questions was Ark Nova. 00:26:39.732 --> 00:26:42.694 Ark Nova is just. 00:26:42.694 --> 00:26:45.355 It is so good. 00:26:45.355 --> 00:26:51.221 It is a game that will always be remembered in my mind. 00:26:51.221 --> 00:27:00.085 I will never forget our first playthrough of that game. 00:27:00.145 --> 00:27:04.715 I think it took us four hours to get through the first play. 00:27:04.715 --> 00:27:06.639 But you know that didn't discourage us. 00:27:06.639 --> 00:27:12.198 I would think sometimes that length of a game might discourage us, and it did not. 00:27:14.749 --> 00:27:19.350 If I'm ever playing it, yeah, I mean I don't think so, because we played it again the very next day. 00:27:19.350 --> 00:27:32.887 Yeah, we went on a run where we played that game for a while and I mean we brought it with us, we brought it to the con, the Phoenix con, I enjoy, like the engine building, yeah, but it's not. 00:27:33.929 --> 00:27:39.079 You know, I just really enjoy that game. 00:27:39.079 --> 00:27:49.497 I'm not really sure what it is about the game and obviously it is the actions. 00:27:49.497 --> 00:27:51.974 It's the way you select the actions. 00:27:51.974 --> 00:27:53.945 I think that really set it apart. 00:27:53.945 --> 00:27:59.598 It's so interesting the way you have those five cards. 00:27:59.598 --> 00:28:04.576 You know it's your association, your animals, your buildings cards. 00:28:04.576 --> 00:28:08.436 So when you decide, you lay them out in front of you. 00:28:08.436 --> 00:28:13.838 When you decide which one you want to play, it's all dependent on what order. 00:28:13.838 --> 00:28:23.792 So you have the stronger abilities with those cards, depending if they're further in the

order, and that's really interesting. 00:28:23.792 --> 00:28:33.107 You play it and then you swing it back to the beginning and there are instances in there where you can flip them over and make them even stronger. 00:28:33.107 --> 00:28:38.618 So that game mechanic, I think, is not shared in any other game that I know of. 00:28:38.618 --> 00:28:39.647 All right. 00:28:39.647 --> 00:28:51.134 So let's talk about the next game that we played, which is something I referred to earlier in my oopsie on Instagram After Us. 00:28:51.134 --> 00:29:02.793 I know we have talked about After Us before, but for anybody that has not heard that or has not played the game, it is a fun, fun game with Vincent Dutre. 00:29:03.173 --> 00:29:10.006 Art After Us takes place after a sort of apocalyptic scene. 00:29:10.006 --> 00:29:10.687 We're not really sure. 00:29:10.687 --> 00:29:22.196 There's no backstory with it, there's just no people, there's just apes, and these apes are going to use leftover human technology to build a civilization for themselves. 00:29:22.196 --> 00:29:24.598 They have a starting tribe. 00:29:24.598 --> 00:29:29.482 They're going to create a colony with different forms of apes. 00:29:29.482 --> 00:29:36.009 There is one that is not an ape, it is a monkey and you use now. 00:29:36.028 --> 00:29:39.233 This also has a very interesting way. 00:29:39.233 --> 00:29:39.633 It's got. 00:29:39.633 --> 00:29:40.574 It's a deck builder. 00:29:40.574 --> 00:29:53.387 But when you build your deck, you're laying out your tribe in front of you, which is four cards, and you are trying to close cells. 00:29:53.387 --> 00:29:58.598 And as you close your cells, you're going to go along your rows and you get whatever resources are inside the closed cells. 00:29:58.598 --> 00:30:33.757 So the strategy in this game is essentially how you lay your cards together, because each card obviously has different portions of the cells and if you lay them together, you're going to get different resource abilities and after your round, going through and getting your resources if you have enough they're like fruit and, I think, wheat, and then you can also get some batteries at resources you get to buy yourself another ape card and that's how you're building your deck. 00:30:33.757 --> 00:30:43.556 And there's also a way of thinning your deck by rage, and I usually never use that mechanic, and I did use it this last time. 00:30:43.776 --> 00:30:47.133 Yes, so I was usually using the rage you were the rage. 00:30:47.153 --> 00:30:47.755 Since then, we played. 00:30:47.755 --> 00:30:48.196 Yes, you were. 00:30:48.745 --> 00:30:52.336 Which I did not use last time, but you were using rage when we played yes, you were which I did not use last time, but you were using it a lot I did. 00:30:52.396 --> 00:31:01.744 I used it a couple times, not a lot, but I did use it a couple times because I started to realize that I am I, for some reason I'm like cards, more cards, more cards. 00:31:01.744 --> 00:31:04.250 It always seems to be the better idea. 00:31:04.250 --> 00:31:06.194 Okay, I'm getting really, really strong cards. 00:31:06.194 --> 00:31:08.307 You know, and I know this. 00:31:08.307 --> 00:31:15.913 You know, I know this that if you have a deck with really strong cards but you can't get to them, they're really kind of pointless. 00:31:15.913 --> 00:31:50.511 So I was doing that thinning the deck, and you know what I think of the game that finally got me to really think about that or realize how valuable it is is Meek Heroes, victory, because in that game there are a couple occasions where you can thin the deck and so seeing how valuable that is to the mechanic, the battling action in there, made me really realize okay, I can use this in other games without losing something. 00:31:50.511 --> 00:31:52.841 I always use this in other games without you know losing something. 00:31:52.841 --> 00:31:57.177 I always feel like you're losing something when you thin your deck, but you're not. 00:31:57.177 --> 00:32:00.613 So that is After Us. 00:32:01.105 --> 00:32:12.033 And if you want to hear more about that game, september of 2023, angie and I put out a episode called Chasing Lorcana and our review of After Us. 00:32:12.033 --> 00:32:21.031 We go a little bit deeper into that game Well, as deep as we go into that game, but no, that game is great. 00:32:21.031 --> 00:32:26.978 I still think that mechanic, where you're putting the puzzle together and the two pieces, is super unique. 00:32:26.978 --> 00:32:34.634 I really enjoy the game and yeah, so if you want to hear more about my opinion on the game, give it a listen. 00:32:34.634 --> 00:32:42.615 And another game which I notice is not on the list that you have is Paladins of the West Kingdom. 00:32:44.249 --> 00:32:46.007 Oh, you know what I think? 00:32:46.107 --> 00:32:49.411 I made this list up before we played it. 00:32:49.431 --> 00:32:50.434 Before we played it. 00:32:51.426 --> 00:32:58.079 So Paladins of the West Kingdom, awesome game, awesome game. 00:32:58.079 --> 00:33:05.739 Took a little bit to remember how to play the game, but I think once it came back to us, we were rocking and rolling and getting through it. 00:33:05.739 --> 00:33:10.012 And it just so happens to be like a lot of the podcasts that I've been listening to lately. 00:33:10.012 --> 00:33:14.699 They've been mentioning the Garfield games and it got me in the mood to want to play. 00:33:15.100 --> 00:33:15.540 Okay. 00:33:15.966 --> 00:33:17.809 And normally my go-to game. 00:33:17.809 --> 00:33:35.672 It used to be Raiders of the North Sea and then it became Architects of the West Kingdom, but I was just really in the mood to play paladins and surprises me because it's a little bit heavier, a little bit more euro-ish than like raiders. 00:33:36.313 --> 00:33:39.486 Yeah, I think you like that battling, almost battling element of raiders. 00:33:39.546 --> 00:33:43.213 So yeah, I just know

I'm glad you chose it. 00:33:43.253 --> 00:33:44.736 I'm glad we played it again. 00:33:44.736 --> 00:33:47.086 Um, I really like the game. 00:33:47.086 --> 00:33:50.253 There is a lot like mini garfield. 00:33:50.253 --> 00:33:52.758 There's a lot of avenues to winning that game. 00:33:52.758 --> 00:33:55.253 There's a lot of different ways to win. 00:33:55.253 --> 00:34:02.493 There's so many, you know building your walls, so there's a lot of ways to win. 00:34:02.493 --> 00:34:03.836 So it's a good strategy game. 00:34:04.585 --> 00:34:10.338 I will say there's a rules controversy in the last game that we had, so Angie did take the win. 00:34:10.358 --> 00:34:11.144 Oh, angie did take the win oh. 00:34:11.144 --> 00:34:13.643 Angie did take the win Because we actually tied. 00:34:14.644 --> 00:34:16.271 Oh yeah, we did tie. 00:34:16.271 --> 00:34:18.110 You're right, it was 34 to 34. 00:34:18.110 --> 00:34:26.119 I got the tiebreaker, but that's you got the tiebreaker, but I technically should have had one more point. 00:34:26.601 --> 00:34:28.268 No, no, no, but I graciously See there is not a. 00:34:28.268 --> 00:34:35.527 It was not a rules Rules point no, no, no, but I see there is not. 00:34:35.527 --> 00:34:36.288 It was not a rules rules controversy? 00:34:36.309 --> 00:34:36.789 no, it's not controversy. 00:34:36.789 --> 00:34:37.371 We just played it wrong. 00:34:37.371 --> 00:34:46.121 One of us played it wrong and you didn't catch it I didn't catch it, no so because I wasn't I with paladins and like a lot of games like that. 00:34:46.181 --> 00:34:48.188 You have to concentrate on what you're doing. 00:34:48.188 --> 00:34:56.240 Yeah, I don't normally look over at your board and that's when I realized you had, because you did. 00:34:56.240 --> 00:34:56.983 You were really. 00:34:56.983 --> 00:35:01.429 I looked over at one point and your strength was so high I'm like you're cheating somehow. 00:35:02.112 --> 00:35:04.038 But I wasn't intentionally you weren't cheating Right. 00:35:04.105 --> 00:35:07.371 And then I looked over and sure enough, you had. 00:35:07.371 --> 00:35:11.798 I don't know what was it called, it wasn't. 00:35:12.346 --> 00:35:13.478 It's where you get the pots. 00:35:13.478 --> 00:35:13.943 Was it Absolve? 00:35:13.943 --> 00:35:14.706 It wasn't. 00:35:14.847 --> 00:35:15.409 Absolve. 00:35:15.409 --> 00:35:16.030 That's it. 00:35:16.030 --> 00:35:29.833 It was Absolve, absolve, yeah, and I realized that the numbers on the pots, because everything else you had to compare numbers, you had to compare strengths, and I realized Absolve didn't have that. 00:35:29.833 --> 00:35:32.315 And then I looked at the pots and they were all numbered. 00:35:32.315 --> 00:35:38.333 Duh, that must be what you compare. 00:35:38.333 --> 00:35:44.096 You know, because each one is like you compare your black to your red. 00:35:44.096 --> 00:35:50.844 Yeah, then it dawned on me and you were already when I looked at you, because you were up there. 00:35:50.844 --> 00:35:52.763 Oh, I was absolving like a madman you were. 00:35:52.763 --> 00:35:54.570 I was doing so good. 00:35:55.092 --> 00:35:56.567 And you know what you did not? 00:35:56.567 --> 00:36:14.182 I don't think you were doing it until I mentioned the bonuses, that the way that iconography was is that you get one bonus, but then you always get a bonus of getting rid of a thief card, Thief card, yeah yeah. 00:36:14.182 --> 00:36:19.469 And then it seemed to be like you're like oh, I said, well, look at the iconography, that's what it says. 00:36:29.484 --> 00:36:30.768 And then you start going yeah and rules, controversy still. 00:36:30.768 --> 00:36:33.071 Hey, did you ever look up the rule to see if I was truly playing it wrong? 00:36:33.071 --> 00:36:38.931 No, I didn't look it up, so what Angie is saying that I need to do, and I didn't either. 00:36:38.931 --> 00:36:47.772 So so in my mind I did it right and I graciously let you not give me that bonus point and I should have won that game. 00:36:47.844 --> 00:37:05.571 No, actually you did it so many times that I'm sure there were more points that you should have not gotten, Probably Because we agreed that okay, that you would stop where you were taking points for that, but we never took points away from you. 00:37:05.592 --> 00:37:08.913 Yes, sue, twice in one episode. 00:37:08.913 --> 00:37:24.397 So I'm going to spare all of you the next 10 minutes of this episode, because I literally argued with Angie for about 10 minutes about this rule. 00:37:24.397 --> 00:37:33.726 And here's the rule I should not have been able to absolve any higher than what I was on the influence track. 00:37:33.726 --> 00:37:35.168 So that is the blue track. 00:37:35.168 --> 00:37:36.771 So Angie was right. 00:37:36.771 --> 00:37:39.395 And now on to the next game. 00:37:42.259 --> 00:37:47.232 All right, so I win, technically won that game. 00:37:53.449 --> 00:37:54.048 What? 00:37:54.509 --> 00:37:56.810 Oh, this is what happens when you record a podcast. 00:37:57.190 --> 00:37:59.873 Let's just, let's just go on, just go on. 00:37:59.873 --> 00:38:01.315 We got a couple more games to hit too. 00:38:01.514 --> 00:38:14.306 Okay, so the next game that we played is a game that we actually talked about recently on our top Phil Walker Harding games episode, and that is Summer Camp. 00:38:14.306 --> 00:38:16.032 I just absolutely love this game. 00:38:16.032 --> 00:38:18.791 This game is pure. 00:38:18.791 --> 00:38:19.353 It's simple. 00:38:19.353 --> 00:38:22.688 I'm not going to go too much into it After we recorded that episode. 00:38:22.688 --> 00:38:25.016 That's why I wanted to play it. 00:38:25.398 --> 00:38:25.659 Really. 00:38:26.281 --> 00:38:30.010 Got me thinking about the game and it got me wanting to play it. 00:38:30.893 --> 00:38:32.275 So I like the decks. 00:38:32.275 --> 00:38:42.857 I like that there's several decks that you can use and they can mix and match, and I

mean there's quite a few decks I think there's like eight different ones, yes, and those decks represent the activities that you play in the summer camp. 00:38:42.857 --> 00:38:45.449 So that's what I like. 00:38:45.449 --> 00:38:46.132 I think that's neat. 00:38:46.592 --> 00:38:52.252 Yeah, I like that game Not going to spend too much time talking about it, but it's a good game. 00:38:52.513 --> 00:38:53.275 It's a good game. 00:38:54.096 --> 00:38:56.958 Then All right, angie, here's a question I have for you. 00:38:56.958 --> 00:39:13.415 So the other game that we got a chance to play and I believe you picked it not that it means anything, but surprisingly I didn't pick it was the Star Wars, clone Wars game, and that is a it's a pandemic system game. 00:39:13.415 --> 00:39:16.112 And we played it. 00:39:16.112 --> 00:39:20.034 He just got smashed. 00:39:21.427 --> 00:39:21.929 We did. 00:39:22.424 --> 00:39:26.793 By the villain, and I can't even remember who we were playing against. 00:39:26.793 --> 00:39:33.136 Oh, it was Grievous, general Grievous. 00:39:33.136 --> 00:39:36.049 Oh, he smoked us. 00:39:37.212 --> 00:39:38.335 He did that. 00:39:38.335 --> 00:39:39.759 He did that, he did. 00:39:39.759 --> 00:39:40.842 But you know I have did that he did. 00:39:40.842 --> 00:39:44.896 But, you know, I have no idea why I chose that game. 00:39:44.896 --> 00:39:46.404 I'm going to tell you the honest truth. 00:39:46.404 --> 00:39:50.714 It just literally popped up that I went oh, what about Clone Wars? 00:39:50.714 --> 00:39:55.512 You go, yeah, Because we don't do well with co-op games. 00:39:55.512 --> 00:39:56.254 Let's be honest. 00:39:56.715 --> 00:39:56.896 Why. 00:39:57.344 --> 00:39:59.831 One of us is a little bit of an alpha gamer. 00:40:00.312 --> 00:40:00.993 And that's you. 00:40:01.295 --> 00:40:12.184 Yeah, no, what are you talking about? 00:40:12.184 --> 00:40:14.406 You know, when we played Pandemic Legacy, you paced around the table and you were sweating. 00:40:14.406 --> 00:40:14.686 You sat there. 00:40:14.686 --> 00:40:20.170 When it was my turn, you got up from the table and you paced in front of me. 00:40:20.170 --> 00:40:49.295 You were like psychically trying to send the vibes of what you thought I should move, where I should go, and it was tense, it was frustrating and it's probably the reason why we only got to the 12th month and we never finished, because the idea of us losing would have been so extreme To think that we actually lost and we lost the entire world. 00:40:50.699 --> 00:40:52.364 It hurt, I couldn't bring myself. 00:40:52.424 --> 00:40:53.911 We didn't finish, so we don't know if we lost yeah. 00:40:55.268 --> 00:40:57.324 That doesn't mean I'm an alpha gamer. 00:40:57.364 --> 00:41:02.557 And you know, the other thing that was interesting about that game is it was the first time we destroyed anything in a game. 00:41:02.685 --> 00:41:03.664 Yeah, I did not like that. 00:41:03.704 --> 00:41:04.668 And you cringed. 00:41:04.869 --> 00:41:05.632 I did not like that. 00:41:05.632 --> 00:41:09.532 I wanted to just like tuck it underneath Like literally, you didn't want to watch. 00:41:10.144 --> 00:41:14.268 It's like you had to turn around and you're like do it, go ahead and do it. 00:41:14.268 --> 00:41:15.855 Yeah, the card. 00:41:16.244 --> 00:41:16.505 Yeah. 00:41:17.487 --> 00:41:17.828 The card. 00:41:18.530 --> 00:41:20.797 Yeah Well, that hurts, it was wrong. 00:41:20.797 --> 00:41:25.829 It was wrong to me at that point in time in my life and I didn't like it. 00:41:25.829 --> 00:41:31.817 But I want to address this Alpha Gamer comment. 00:41:31.817 --> 00:41:46.328 I don't feel like I'm an Alpha Gamer, I feel like you are the Alpha Gamer gamer how in the world you know you're lying I was actually listening to. 00:41:46.909 --> 00:41:48.554 Um, was it the last episode? 00:41:48.554 --> 00:41:59.271 I believe the last episode of the christian board gamers podcast, and joe bragg was talking about a game that I really want to try and that's, I think, dead man. 00:41:59.271 --> 00:42:10.538 Tell no Tales yes yeah, they have the anti Angie rule, the no yeah no alpha gaming rule. 00:42:10.538 --> 00:42:11.105 No, actually. 00:42:11.105 --> 00:42:14.833 Yes, I guess I tend to quarterback sometimes when we play. 00:42:14.833 --> 00:42:21.514 However, if I were to label you, I would say you are a kingmaker. 00:42:21.514 --> 00:42:24.492 You are 100% a kingmaker. 00:42:24.492 --> 00:42:26.069 Yes, the look on your face. 00:42:26.190 --> 00:42:29.331 I do not, I would never do that you can tell. 00:42:29.331 --> 00:42:30.755 Okay, how about this, Chris? 00:42:30.755 --> 00:42:39.525 Maybe the only reason I am ever tempted to do that because I like to win games, is because you are a bad loser. 00:42:39.705 --> 00:42:41.431 And I'm a bad winner too, you are. 00:42:45.225 --> 00:42:46.551 You're so fun to play with. 00:42:47.607 --> 00:42:48.853 Well, I am fun to play with. 00:42:48.853 --> 00:42:50.130 I'm a great guy to play with. 00:42:50.344 --> 00:42:54.272 Yeah, if you don't lose or win by enough points, suddenly you start to pout. 00:42:54.272 --> 00:42:58.592 Well, yeah, oh, I didn't beat you by enough. 00:42:59.105 --> 00:43:02.194 I didn't just completely destroy you. 00:43:02.194 --> 00:43:04.550 I won by one point. 00:43:04.550 --> 00:43:12.311 Yeah, no, but okay, we'll just say that you, what did you just say? 00:43:12.812 --> 00:43:15.478 You're a bad winner or you consider, or a bad loser. 00:43:15.704 --> 00:43:17.432 You think about king making? 00:43:17.865 --> 00:43:19.973 The only reason I would ever consider it. 00:43:20.204 --> 00:43:23.230 I think on my, on my, on my, because you get whiny. 00:43:23.230 --> 00:43:24.688 On my BG stats app. 00:43:24.688 --> 00:43:26.373 I'm going to start making notes on the games. 00:43:26.413 --> 00:43:26.894 And you know what? 00:43:26.894 --> 00:43:27.355 Here's Chris. 00:43:27.355 -->

00:43:30.153 Our, our stats aren't that far apart. 00:43:30.153 --> 00:43:33.735 We're like literally like at 50%, but you still whine. 00:43:35.004 --> 00:43:42.139 Well, okay, but I'm going to start, I'm going to start making little notes in there when I think you, king, made. 00:43:42.945 --> 00:43:44.670 Which means you think I throw. 00:43:44.849 --> 00:43:58.195 Yep, I'm going to start because I feel like you do and it makes me feel bad that you're so selfless and you just want me not to have a bad time. 00:43:58.195 --> 00:44:17.418 So anyway, kingmaker, and it makes you so mad when I say it too, all right, Well, you aren't always right, so Only three out of four times, anyway, all right. 00:44:17.984 --> 00:44:21.489 So back to the Star Wars, clone Wars, pandemic game. 00:44:21.489 --> 00:44:26.094 I think it's a good implementation of pandemic. 00:44:26.094 --> 00:44:28.076 However, let me ask you a question. 00:44:28.076 --> 00:44:33.942 If you were to play pandemic or this, which one is, in your mind, better? 00:44:36.766 --> 00:44:39.554 I have no connection to Star Wars whatsoever. 00:44:39.815 --> 00:44:40.577 None whatsoever. 00:44:40.858 --> 00:44:42.724 None whatsoever, none whatsoever, oh boy. 00:44:42.724 --> 00:44:45.112 I mean I watched the originals. 00:44:45.112 --> 00:44:46.946 So Clone Wars. 00:44:46.946 --> 00:44:51.416 I have no idea what the Clone Wars were until we started watching that animated series. 00:44:51.616 --> 00:44:51.877 Yeah. 00:44:52.605 --> 00:44:58.673 So I have no connection at all, and so I go Pandemic. 00:44:58.673 --> 00:45:00.708 I would rather play base Pandemic. 00:45:03.215 --> 00:45:04.867 Okay, that's cool. 00:45:05.230 --> 00:45:07.451 I mean there is more to the Clone Wars one. 00:45:07.451 --> 00:45:14.530 So game wise, there's more, I think more game to it. 00:45:17.518 --> 00:45:19.609 I'm torn, I'm really torn. 00:45:19.609 --> 00:45:26.929 I think it's good for what it is, but I think I think I don't know. 00:45:26.929 --> 00:45:30.952 It's hard to say for me, like what would I enjoy more? 00:45:30.952 --> 00:45:35.070 I think we've just played pandemic so much. 00:45:35.070 --> 00:45:40.641 I mean, we've played pandemic, we've played hot zone. 00:45:40.641 --> 00:45:41.516 You know we didn't playemic, we've played Hot Zone. 00:45:41.516 --> 00:45:45.876 You know we didn't play any of the major, like Iberia, things like that. 00:45:45.876 --> 00:45:49.250 I think it's a great system. 00:45:49.250 --> 00:45:51.609 Just in general, I think it works. 00:45:52.092 --> 00:46:04.878 Yeah, it's a very good system, but I think for me original Pand pandemic is better than that Star Wars game. 00:46:04.878 --> 00:46:05.759 I really do. 00:46:05.759 --> 00:46:11.530 Okay, I think the Star Wars game is harder. 00:46:13.174 --> 00:46:14.397 It is Than pandemic. 00:46:14.397 --> 00:46:18.335 It is because you have a villain where you don't have that in pandemic. 00:46:18.976 --> 00:46:19.196 Yeah. 00:46:19.585 --> 00:46:22.384 You know you're playing against the cards, you're playing as that, but you have a villain where you don't have that. 00:46:22.384 --> 00:46:25.346 In pandemic, yeah, you know you're playing against the cards, you're playing as that, but you have a specific villain and they're like. 00:46:25.346 --> 00:46:28.655 So there's more game to it because you have missions and stuff like that. 00:46:28.655 --> 00:46:37.706 So I mean, it's under the pandemic system, it's not a pandemic game, right, so there is more game to it. 00:46:37.706 --> 00:46:48.560 But sometimes pandemic is one of those games that you don't have to really overthink. 00:46:48.560 --> 00:47:01.000 Now, pandemic legacy you do, but you can play, I think, base pandemic pretty simply because you know what you have to do. 00:47:01.000 --> 00:47:02.429 You just have to play your character. 00:47:02.429 --> 00:47:09.791 Good, right, you know make the right moves, which you do have to in any game, but there isn't a lot of maybe moving parts to it. 00:47:09.791 --> 00:47:11.094 That makes sense. 00:47:11.455 --> 00:47:11.636 Mm-hmm. 00:47:14.065 --> 00:47:17.052 So that was that. 00:47:17.052 --> 00:47:19.057 That was it. 00:47:19.057 --> 00:47:20.549 But there is another game we played. 00:47:20.549 --> 00:47:24.072 There is, and this is another Phil Walker Hari game. 00:47:24.072 --> 00:47:33.697 Yep, this is Super Mega Lucky Box, but it's not just a regular Super Mega Lucky Box. 00:47:33.697 --> 00:47:51.525 We also played the app, downloaded the app version, and I don't normally enjoy app versions of board games I don't know, I don't and usually like there's Wingspan and Terraforming Mars and I didn't care for those. 00:47:51.525 --> 00:48:00.339 I maybe it's like I don't want to pay money for a game that I have the tactile version of, but I like this one. 00:48:00.339 --> 00:48:01.929 I enjoy it. 00:48:01.929 --> 00:48:07.932 It's very quick, simple, which is one of the reasons why I like super mega lucky box. 00:48:09.757 --> 00:48:11.913 So yeah, to give a little bit of context of that app. 00:48:11.913 --> 00:48:14.473 So I personally like the board game apps. 00:48:14.473 --> 00:48:24.246 I enjoy the wingspan app, I enjoy the pan, or the the pandemic app when it was a thing, um, I enjoy the terrifying mars. 00:48:24.246 --> 00:48:24.906 I like apps. 00:48:24.906 --> 00:48:29.038 Let's just say that I like the board game app implementations. 00:48:29.038 --> 00:48:38.170 Um, it just gives me the ability to play a game if I got some downtime on my phone and I'm just sitting somewhere, but regardless. 00:48:38.610 --> 00:49:01.192 So angie and I were at the greater Wisconsin autism conference in Baraboo, wisconsin, and Angie was at one of her breakout sessions and I was just sitting in the hotel room with Gabe and I don't know how I knew it, but I think on Facebook somebody posted, or something, that there was an app, and I don't know if you owned it already

or if I shared it right away. 00:49:01.192 --> 00:49:02.014 I shared it with Angie. 00:49:02.014 --> 00:49:04.029 I was like, oh, super, mega lucky box. 00:49:04.029 --> 00:49:06.375 So I shared it with Angie, that was it. 00:49:06.375 --> 00:49:07.317 That's as far as it went. 00:49:07.317 --> 00:49:23.148 And then later that day we're sitting in the hotel room, we're just relaxing, we got done eating and we're just we're chilling for the night and I asked did you see that app? 00:49:23.148 --> 00:49:23.808 Oh, I bought it. 00:49:23.808 --> 00:49:25.329 What? 00:49:25.329 --> 00:49:29.511 Well, let's play it, and why didn't you tell me yeah? 00:49:29.531 --> 00:49:38.496 So unfortunately it's not a two player game, so what we had to do was basically Angie would play around and then she'd hand me her phone and then I play it. 00:49:38.496 --> 00:49:44.679 It was fun to watch the other person play, to see their, their, your play style. 00:49:44.679 --> 00:49:52.281 Basically yeah, which I do think it made me a better player watching you play, because you've got more plays into this game than I do. 00:49:52.281 --> 00:49:54.723 I really enjoy it, but you've played it more. 00:49:54.723 --> 00:49:58.187 I mean, you've taken it to with you on business trips 've. 00:49:58.187 --> 00:50:13.427 Yeah, you've done a lot more playing in that game and when I, when I would, when we play the physical of the game, I basically just randomly picked cards yeah, yeah, you're more rent even more where you take the numbers off which cards where I'm more strategic about that? 00:50:13.447 --> 00:50:17.336 yeah, and so I'm watching you going the whole time. 00:50:17.336 --> 00:50:19.210 I'm like, why is he taking the five off this card? 00:50:19.690 --> 00:50:25.954 now take it off the other card yep, yep, and now I'm starting to see how you played. 00:50:25.954 --> 00:50:35.556 I saw how you played and how you pick your cards and it kind of makes my scores better now, which is good and it makes me happy, but I do think excellent app implementation. 00:50:35.556 --> 00:50:49.993 So we were sitting at home just trying to figure out what to play the other night, so I just grabbed the super mega lucky box and we played a couple rounds of super mega lucky box and it was a great time. 00:50:49.993 --> 00:50:52.158 I don't can Phil Walker Harding make a bad game. 00:50:53.864 --> 00:51:01.434 Well, he can make games that are not not as, not as great you know. 00:51:01.434 --> 00:51:01.935 Would that be a? 00:51:01.996 --> 00:51:02.435 bad game. 00:51:02.896 --> 00:51:04.097 Not necessarily. 00:51:05.779 --> 00:51:09.085 I don't know, I think Phil's, phil's bad. 00:51:09.306 --> 00:51:15.552 We're going to play what's the game called the show. 00:51:15.552 --> 00:51:16.437 My shelfie then. 00:51:17.503 --> 00:51:18.990 Yeah, I like my shelfie. 00:51:19.484 --> 00:51:20.565 I liked my shelf, you, I like my shelfie. 00:51:20.605 --> 00:51:21.810 You're the one that gets. 00:51:22.065 --> 00:51:23.478 It was the scoring. 00:51:23.478 --> 00:51:24.911 It was the scoring. 00:51:24.911 --> 00:51:27.626 Was it the? 00:51:27.626 --> 00:51:33.154 You score two groups of the teal tiles, or something I said you can only score one. 00:51:33.356 --> 00:51:35.309 Yes you didn't you couldn't score both. 00:51:35.309 --> 00:51:35.711 Yep. 00:51:36.164 --> 00:51:37.869 That you're only supposed to score the biggest one. 00:51:39.134 --> 00:51:39.694 Yeah, yeah. 00:51:39.754 --> 00:51:43.664 And you know, we asked Phil and he still has not gotten back. 00:51:43.664 --> 00:51:46.414 I don't know if he missed that podcast episode. 00:51:46.764 --> 00:51:57.215 He must've missed that episode, so he must've it must've snuck past him and his notifications, cause we know Phil's a big fan of the chasing meeples. 00:51:57.215 --> 00:52:04.009 So those are the games that we played Meeple Chasers. 00:52:04.009 --> 00:52:10.433 Let us know what you think of the game by either reaching out to us via email or whatever Socials. 00:52:10.433 --> 00:52:24.074 Yeah, so if you enjoy those games and you think I should have won Paladins of the West Kingdom, be sure to let Angie know. 00:52:24.074 --> 00:52:39.675 Well, this about wraps up another episode of the Chasing Meeples podcast and, before we end it, we just want to share our Chasing Faith segment and, angie, I do believe you want. 00:52:39.675 --> 00:52:46.032 Well, with Mother's Day coming up, I do believe you want to talk about something about Mother's Day. 00:52:46.694 --> 00:52:48.357 Well, I'll tell you how I came up with this. 00:52:48.357 --> 00:52:54.527 This is going to be a passage from one of my favorite books of the Bible, and you know my favorite woman of the Bible. 00:52:54.527 --> 00:52:55.829 You know who that is. 00:52:55.969 --> 00:52:56.349 It's Ruth. 00:52:56.590 --> 00:53:00.677 It's Ruth and I am going to be okay. 00:53:00.677 --> 00:53:02.019 Here's a little backdrop. 00:53:02.019 --> 00:53:17.536 I've been doing the kids' ministry at church and I was asked to be a support on Mother's Day, because they're expecting Mother's Day to be busy and the early service is always the busier group that had the most kids. 00:53:17.536 --> 00:53:24.690 Well, apparently the teacher pulled out, so I was asked to lead the class. 00:53:24.969 --> 00:53:25.652 Oh, very cool. 00:53:25.672 --> 00:53:36.277 So my first time leading is going to be during the busier session, with probably extra kids because more people come to church on Mother's Day. 00:53:36.397 --> 00:53:37.306 That is awesome. 00:53:37.385 --> 00:53:49.335 So I talked to Dawn about that and she had mentioned what the subject was going to be, because I asked what's your lesson for the day and she said it was Ruth and Naomi. 00:53:49.335 --> 00:54:01.836 So I thought it was kind of this sign it's going to be my first time, kind of nervous, and then the very first thing that's going to be is Ruth and Naomi, since it is my

favorite story of the Bible. 00:54:01.836 --> 00:54:03.119 Wow. 00:54:03.119 --> 00:54:08.556 So in Mother's Day I am going to read from Ruth. 00:54:08.556 --> 00:54:15.558 So this is Ruth, chapter 1, and this is going to be verse 3 through 17. 00:54:15.558 --> 00:54:20.876 Then Elimelech died and Naomi was left with two sons. 00:54:20.876 --> 00:54:24.253 The two sons married Moabite women. 00:54:24.253 --> 00:54:30.076 One married a woman named Oprah and the other a woman named Ruth. 00:54:30.076 --> 00:54:36.697 But about 10 years later both Malon and Kilion died. 00:54:36.697 --> 00:54:42.915 This left Naomi alone without her two sons or her husband. 00:54:43.195 --> 00:54:50.696 Then Naomi heard in Moab that the Lord had blessed his people in Judah by giving them good crops again. 00:54:50.696 --> 00:54:57.842 So Naomi and her daughters-in-law got ready to leave Moab to return to her homeland With her two daughters-in-law. 00:54:57.842 --> 00:55:03.936 She set out from the place where she had been living and they took the road that would lead them back to Judah. 00:55:03.936 --> 00:55:14.626 But on the way Naomi said to her two daughter-in-laws go back to your mother's homes and may the Lord reward you for your kindness to your husbands and me. 00:55:14.626 --> 00:55:19.670 May the Lord bless you with the security of another marriage. 00:55:19.670 --> 00:55:24.211 Then she kissed them goodbye and they all broke down and wept. 00:55:24.211 --> 00:55:28.234 No, they said, we want to go with you to your people. 00:55:28.234 --> 00:55:32.656 But Naomi replied why should you go on with me? 00:55:32.656 --> 00:55:37.661 Can I still give birth to other sons who could grow up to be your husbands? 00:55:37.661 --> 00:55:48.666 No, my daughters return to your parents' home, for I am too old to marry again. 00:55:48.666 --> 00:55:53.697 And even if it were possible and I were to get married tonight and bear sons, then what Would you wait for them to grow up and refuse to marry someone else? 00:55:53.697 --> 00:55:56.148 No, of course not my daughters. 00:55:56.148 --> 00:55:59.538 Things are far more bitter for me than you. 00:55:59.538 --> 00:56:02.086 Course not my daughters. 00:56:02.086 --> 00:56:04.653 Things are far more bitter for me than you because the Lord himself has raised his fist against me. 00:56:04.674 --> 00:56:11.233 And again they wept together and Oprah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye, but Ruth clung tightly to Naomi. 00:56:11.233 --> 00:56:17.349 Look, naomi said to her, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods. 00:56:17.349 --> 00:56:18.752 You should do the same. 00:56:18.752 --> 00:56:23.869 But Ruth replied don't ask me to leave you and turn back. 00:56:23.869 --> 00:56:26.315 Wherever you go, I will go. 00:56:26.315 --> 00:56:33.980 Wherever you live, I will live, your people will be my people and your God will be my God. 00:56:33.980 --> 00:56:39.112 Wherever you die, I will die and there I will be buried. 00:56:39.112 --> 00:56:44.148 May the Lord punish me severely if I allow anything but death to separate us. 00:56:44.148 --> 00:56:46.253 I love that story. 00:56:46.253 --> 00:56:50.408 The whole book of Ruth I love and I thought that was a great touching. 00:56:50.408 --> 00:56:58.030 It's not her mother, it's her mother-in-law, but I think it's a wonderful story and a tribute to mothers. 00:56:59.813 --> 00:57:00.214 And Angie. 00:57:00.214 --> 00:57:02.778 I think that story is perfect for Mother's Day. 00:57:02.778 --> 00:57:10.973 So Ruth's commitment to Naomi not only highlighted the bond between them, but it was a good example of family loyalty. 00:57:10.973 --> 00:57:12.908 And it doesn't have to be. 00:57:12.908 --> 00:57:18.212 You know, love biologically when you go, I will go. 00:57:18.212 --> 00:57:26.458 Where you stay, I will stay Just speaks volumes about her dedication and love, and I think that just embodies the spirit of Mother's Day. 00:57:26.458 --> 00:57:37.326 It's a reminder to all of us to cherish those who just nurtured us and guided us, regardless of whether they are biological mothers or not, mothers or or not. 00:57:37.326 --> 00:57:46.592 Happy Mother's Day everybody, and keep chasing those meeples done. 00:57:48.473 --> 00:57:55.458 Subscribe, rate and leave a review. 00:57:55.458 --> 00:57:58.159 Share the love. 00:57:58.159 --> 00:58:02.862 It's the thing to do. 00:58:02.862 --> 00:58:14.585 Chasing people tell a friend. 00:58:14.585 --> 00:58:15.527 Chasing people tell an enemy. 00:58:15.527 --> 00:58:17.708 You never know they might like us then become your friend. 00:58:17.708 --> 00:58:18.869 Chasing people get official t-shirts. 00:58:18.869 --> 00:58:19.371 Chasing people Bye.
