0:19
[Music]
0:26
[Music] there so you're back here with me Davey
0:31
I'm still first player Believe It or Not uh and everyone else from the whose turn is it crew I say everyone else we're
0:37
actually here with Tambo hello Dan hello and Becky hello and we've got a weird
0:44
and wonderful episode I've always got to throw one in there um it's a little bit different I'm basically we've called it
0:50
Wish Upon A fo par which is a little bit of a loose connection but it's also my gamertag online hence the name so I
0:57
thought you know it kind of works just it in there don't ask questions um that's cute
1:04
Davey um is this your way of of just getting lots of more friends online friends I've spelled it wrong and I'm
1:10
not going to tell you how I've spelled it wrong and I've done it on purpose because it's a f I thought it was a fa
1:16
par so that was going to be it own wi joke but there you go what have I signed up
1:23
for yeah this episode basically I've made some wishes everyone's kind of
1:29
going to cont rute their answer to said wishes but then there's going to be a little twist as we've called it Jin
1:34
Davey i. me is going to throw out a curve ball on the wish and then you're B
TURN 2 - Let's Talk About Hex
1:39
we're basically going to go over would you still do it or maybe you won't and it'll go from there okay intriguing
1:46
sounds like a daily episode yeah grass Ms H I know
Becky - Wyrmspan
2:01
first things first let's talk about hex what have we been playing and what have we been getting up to if we've not been
2:07
playing ball games let's start with you Becky what have you been up to so um I
2:13
received my uh delivery of worms span nice loved by some hated by many caused
2:19
a lot of um controversy online didn't it just a little bit I loved it I love the
2:26
memes that came out of it as well yeah yeah the memes were yeah the m good yeah yeah but do you know what it's
2:32
a stone m game I liked wingspan I always thought that it'd be really cool to have a you know one that wasn't Birds
2:39
beautiful but not very exciting right so I think worms span was a perfect idea and it does change it enough to wingspan
2:47
in my humble opinion for there to be room for both games yeah yeah definitely
2:52
what's changed in it so there are kind of there's like a sideboard um which is
2:57
called the old uh dragon Guild Dragon Guild thanks Dan
3:03
um so you've got varying different ones that you just pick randomly and this is a kind of a way to get an extra resource
3:08
or another action or or whatever um so you have to excavate Caverns before you
3:15
can entice dragons there so there's a little bit more to it than just a player
3:20
bird like in wingspan for example um not as many eggs I found maybe it was just
3:26
the versions I was playing I don't know not as many eggs involved there um they're still resources but they're
3:32
not you know they're harder to get in it that's why they are harder to get harder to excavate yeah yeah yeah see what you
3:38
did there here all day or evening but but it is a good game I think and the artwork
3:44
is really beautiful um and they've actually included in the Box a kind of
3:49
dragon collector guide dragon spotters guide which is very cute I like it yeah
3:55
I like it in all hesty this is always it kind of appeals to me more wingspan as
4:00
you said wingspan the artwork's a little bit Bland for me I like birds but having
4:06
the car game with the birds isn't that exciting for me and it does feel like when I first played it I was like oh
4:12
these are really cool actions but you are a little bit more limited with what you can do you play the bird and that's
4:17
it and sometimes now you obviously have combos that maybe go off of the other birds on the board but it does feel like
4:23
there's a lot more limiting factors within wingspan so if something that opens that up I'm ined yeah I think
4:29
think you there's a little kind of um explore instead of when you either play
4:34
a bird not play a bird the other ones the collect food L eggs draw cards
4:40
that's still kind of in essence what you're doing but you take a little kind of meeple and you can only explore into
4:47
the cavern as as far as you've excavated so you don't get all the resources all the way along some of your cards still
4:53
allow you to collect a resource or draw a card or whatever but it's mostly done from this explore action I love that
5:00
and you can only do it a maximum of three times in each sort of turn each round um you've got tokens that are your
5:09
kind of resource in order to do anything but sometimes things cost these tokens
5:15
as well as having to play a token to actually do the action so for example a dragon might cost you a meat and a gem
5:22
to play but it might also cost you a an action so that's usually a really highly powerful Dragon but it's going to cost
5:28
you an action so you're not going to get to do as much but I I really liked it that's unique I like that I like that
5:33
they don't have they don't often have that in in games in that kind of way um it's funny you mentioned the um the
5:40
dragon kind of Almanac that you get in the Box I wish I wish I I love Stone my
5:46
games that they drop the almanac because all it is about is dragons that are
5:51
technically not reals if it was in Wings fan it' be a bit different because of what it is what they should have done is
5:56
they should have dropped that minute the game have a better insert cuz the insert is lacking I have to
6:03
agree with that drop the book bring the insert better but other than that the game's great you can keep the book and I've actually made my own my own little
6:09
insert yeah and that worked really well and I didn't use any 3D printing I just used modeling foone you know U cardboard
6:16
foam stuff really simple it needs it yeah need it's not a great organized box
6:21
we did of course obviously get the blinged out special pieces because you
6:26
know but I know they're trying to be very um H sustainable and mindful of
6:32
that kind of thing but the gems have got to be plastic I'm sorry you can't have Little Gems and little pictures of a faceted gem and then have a wooden
6:39
little gem so are they wooden in those yeah well not anymore cuz I went to teu and bought some plastic ones so I ruined
6:46
it all I know I know I know I know but I did buy enough for Dan because I know he's got wor so yeah I've got Dan's got
6:53
what wor so I've had worse there's creams for
7:00
everything now so I did buy enough purple gems to um yeah to share nice
7:06
you're welcome nice there we go yeah all round good game I think good game but needs bling yeah it doesn't need it
7:13
actually do you know actually the original pieces that come with it are actually really nice I like the coins
7:18
the co the wood the um the cardboard coins are actually quite nice cuz they're shiny they really nice nice they
7:24
are good if I had to buy one or the other if I didn't own either of the
7:30
which one would I buy H I think I want to say worms span yeah
7:35
I probably would I don't own wingspan so although
7:40
e although if they're not going to make any more expansions maybe wingspan would win because it's got the
7:48
variability what you should do it's coming up to Easter you should buy a load of mini eggs and play I eat all my
Dan - Frostpunk
7:56
VPS you're not allowed to eat them until the end yeah well and then
8:01
everyone for the egg points so yeah that's that's what I've been playing lately no cool nice how
8:08
about yourself Dan oh I've been playing um a bit more Frost Punk um anyone who
8:13
knows me knows that Frost Punk is my all-time favor I absolutely love it since it was released um yes it is
8:20
depression in a box it is so Tage laughing because he knows he knows but
8:26
it's so good right it's really good it's so good um um played it a couple times in the last few weeks uh and me and JP
8:33
got a game in last week just the two of us and it plays quite nicely at two um I thought I I've only played the game at a
8:39
four player account and in a sense Frost Punk is a glorified solo game um you
8:44
know you're playing all four roles if you're playing it solo and it works quite nice solo but um if you've got
8:49
other people around the table to batter off and you've got other suggestions and potentially other things in the puzzle
8:55
that you might not be able to see uh and playing it two- player meant that the game flowed just a bit quicker uh and it
9:00
was it was quite nice it's an interactive thing between two people um if you don't know anything about it um it was derived from a PC game uh about a
9:09
civilization of people trying to survive a permafrost in London or New London uh
9:15
and um it is incredibly tough uh it's not a complex game to learn it's quite
9:20
sequential it's one thing after another down line da da da but um to to win it
9:25
it is very very difficult I've played it now eight times I think now and in those
9:31
eight times I have won it only once wow yeah it's tough and I'm not I'm not a big fan of co-ops either um but if it's
9:39
a co-op then I love a challenge and frost Punk is a challenge I don't mind that I've only beaten the thing once um
9:44
but there's also loads of scenarios in the scenario book that you get with it so there's hours and hours and hours of play there um but it is it's not I'm a
9:52
more of a Euro fan I'm for Euro games but then sometimes a game comes along
9:57
like Nemesis like CR Punk that just completely blows me away and I absolutely love playing it even though
10:04
you always lose yeah I've heard a lot of people say it's a better solo experience than multiplayer but you quite enjoying
10:11
multiplayer still though don't you yeah i' I've played it once solo but playing it as a two-player I really enjoyed it
10:17
but also after playing two-player and losing it made me go you know what I think I probably would play this solo
10:23
and see how I got on yeah U and you know you'd be much quicker if you played the solo I think it's definitely in that box
10:29
to to mess around with and play with lots of different scenarios and I think they'd all work it at one player they all work at two player four players
10:36
quite a lot because you got a lot a lot of people kind of doing different little things and um and sometimes if you've
10:42
got one person who's more experienced with a game than the rest then you've got that danger of alpha gamer um but on
10:47
the whole it's fantastic there we go yeah BR game Frost Punk Get It
10:56
um Stay Stay Frosty how long been about uh last year last year glass Cannon
11:02
unplugs first game right uh and it's awesome they've been hitting some home
Tambo - Jekyll vs Hyde
11:08
runs since then that they have that they have Apex Legends and dying light on
11:14
yeah yeah and dying live we might have a little prototype to have a play around with so Adrian will be obviously talking
11:20
about that at some point in the upcoming podcast how about yourself to B all right so um I went over to my brothers
11:26
went Vis my yearly visit and we played he introduced me to a game jacqulyn Hyde now people who don't know jacn Hyde is
11:32
is the League of Extraordinary gentleman it's the guy the doctor a bit like Bruce bner really he just turns into a big
11:38
beast so he's always on a fighting battle it's originally like um it's originally written by Dr ja and Mr Hyde
11:46
and it was written by it's in B Hing as well and it's loads of Old Law things yeah so um
11:53
we played it's like a two-player card battle game um it consists of 21 cards
11:59
and there's four potion cards in there you got three um three different color decks green purple and red um they all
12:05
me things but there one's Pride greed and wrath and um it's all about winning
12:11
tricks so how you win a trick um basically it's like the highest card wins and if you play a red card you've
12:17
got to play a red card if you got it in your hand and then you if you put the higher card down you win a trick um so
12:23
it's just like a little cardboard board um you got a little lovely metal figure which you would love like so one size
12:28
the Doctor Who a playing face the other side is um the hide who's you know the monster and obviously you play it obious
12:35
each other so whoever's playing a doctor's got the little face facing the doctor and then hide is the other end um
12:42
so there's 10 spaces so how hide wins he's got to get to the other end of the board with the 10 spaces have three
12:49
rounds and how the doctor wins is just got to delay him so he doesn't make it so it's it's very interesting so when
12:56
you like a tug of pool mechanic with tu exactly is yeah tug of war that's a better one it's got like a little tug of
13:02
war mechanic it I quite like tug and Paul I mean it reminds me of something highly inappropriate that I probably
13:08
shouldn't talk about yeah exactly yeah so obviously each player's dealt 10 cards um and there's there's a potion
13:15
card which has different effects so the highest number wins or the high strongest suit wins so if you play a red
13:20
card first that would be the weakest suit so then the reds are always the weakest suit and then when the next colored card is played it'll be the
13:27
middle suit so it'll beat the weakest and then you obviously put the third is the strongest so it's either highest
13:32
number or the strongest suit wins okay when you play a potion you got the first player puts a card down you can play a
13:37
potion and matches that color so you play the red potion it will reset all the strongest suits Oh okay that's cool
13:44
yeah I like how a lot of trick taking games starting to think of real new mechanics to throw in there but still
13:50
keeping the core with the trick taking cuz it's a it's a tri in tested mechanic that works um obviously cat in the Box
13:57
was one of the other ones um but yeah this this sounds really interesting yeah and then if you put a green one so if
14:02
you put a potion on a green card that means you you change swap two cards from the other player you choose two cards and then you swap it with a potion and
14:09
if you play the red one it means you if you win the trick you steal the trick from the other player okay so that's
14:17
basically it so but it's not all about winning tricks this game because the scoring at the end of it it's the difference between the tricks so if say
14:24
hide one eight tricks and then the doc one two tricks is a difference you move um hide would move six spaces like
14:31
crocodile scoring Crile scoring yeah so it's as a doc you kind of want to make
14:36
it even all the time so he's not winning many tricks at all but as high you think about which ones to give up so that
14:42
you're not giving up ones later so you can try and make it even instead yeah little je game yeah it is and if you
14:48
hide you obviously you could either go one way try and win them all or try and lose them all cuz you want to get that biggest Gap in between and winning and
14:54
it's done over three rounds and then the winner wins yeah yeah it's really good game really enjoyed it try playing yourself next time and like put like an
15:01
evil side of yourself and be like yeah to go along with the theme of the game yeah there's a draft variant as well we
15:07
played that you draft up a couple of cards and you have to put a CO potion in your draw so it makes it even so each
Davey - Great Western Trail Second Edition
15:12
player definitely gets a potion in the hand at the beginning which is good yeah so is there a solo variant on it no not
15:18
I know of but I do believe there is a co-op version of it okay but you can't get a copy of it but I think my brother's going to try and get it in the
15:23
Expo when we go in oh nice yeah cool it's really good really enjoyed it yeah
15:28
good um how about yourself uh I played and this is like old hat now but um or
15:34
old cowboy hat cuz I played Great Western trial second edition yea yeeha
15:40
yeah it was it was great fun it was really good fun I forgot how much I enjoy that game and the second edition
15:47
had ironed out a lot but not a noticeable amount it was kind of it was
15:53
a very subtle change and the artwork was kind of a lot clearer was more concise
16:00
more to the point so was a lot easier and we kind of after I remember the last time we played with the first edition it
16:07
took us about half an hour 40 minutes to get back into how do we play this again even though we played a load second
16:13
edition we gotten back into it in about 10 minutes and we finished the game in about two and a half hours between three players so if you not played great rush
16:20
and Trail which I mean most people probably have now but basically it's a game about it's kind of a deck building
16:26
game but it's loose you don't really have power within the deck is more you try and get the most efficient optimal
16:32
Deck with which are cows which have numbers on by the time you get to the end of the trail and you have to sell
16:40
all colors all different colors and you sell that value and then you have to basically go on a train of that value
16:46
and sell them there and at the end you get VPS depending on how far you got of your numbers Etc and it basically has a
16:54
real nice Tempo you kind of can go slow cuz you end up building buildings in between so which have different effects
17:01
which you know either Mill your cards or get buy new cows it seems like there's a lot more tactic game which was a bit
17:08
more fun to be honest um I think just a we play there maybe yeah um but yeah and
17:14
you kind of decide do I want to go a bit slow and try and get VPS from either building buildings and getting the like
17:19
the best hand I can get or do I try and go fast and get as many kind of run
17:25
throughs as I can get with the best number it plays really well at three um poor player I'm sure play well as
17:31
well um probably a bit slower but yeah really enjoy great Weston Trail else to say about it no there's not much turn
17:38
time between turns I don't think if you know obviously yeah it's quite good I always find it when I've ever played
17:43
them always going down the cowboy route is the strongest it has seen I ended up
17:49
going down the cowboy route I've tried any other but only on the first edition I've tried doing the buildings and doing all that and it's never as strong as
17:54
doing the Cowboys I think there are more VPS on the buildings now so I think it could have been also there was the modifier one of the
18:01
stations where it said an extra two VPS per building so if I had focused on that and maybe got that that could have made
18:08
some nice pricey buildings so I I think maybe they if they've tried to balance it made the other strategies more viable
18:14
but we haven't played it enough to we haven't played enough say about any of it but yeah uh next one's going to be
18:19
New Zealand I need to try really I've heard good things about that selling sheep instead yeah obviously I've never
18:25
played it never played it nope I need to I yeah I think I would as well yeah yeah
18:30
the theme's dry as mud but yeah yeah I had the first edition in my collection but I just didn't get it to the table I
18:36
just sold it uh and then looking at the second edition you think Weir looks much cleaner and more easier to understand
18:44
but it's not something that I've just had the chance to play yet but I want to it's good it is good it's a classic for
18:49
a reason and we always we always kind of like oh what should we play oh great
18:55
wrest and tril yeah yeah okay we play great and then we play we go really enjoyed that that was really fun like I
19:02
don't know what it is it takes a little bit of effort to play but once we get it to the table we enjoy it and we should
19:07
do it more I'm kind of gutted I didn't play cuz I was meant to be playing that night but I'd had a real hard week at
19:13
work and had a migraine and I just thought this is not the time to be doing this however curly did do a teach and I
19:19
could see the I could see the appeal mhm I'm really interested to hear you say
19:24
that it's a lot more clean and easier to understand cuz Je it doesn't look easy to understand to
19:30
meet those the iconography and the stuff it's not it's still it's still a
19:36
cled board but the first edition was 10 times worse once we got into the flow we
19:42
flowed took a little bit to start cuz I was like what does that mean again or does that mean and then once I got there
19:47
it was fine but first edition I mean it took us nearly an hour just to we go and
19:53
then eventually we kind of worked it out it just match difference you had the level one two and three backs which had all tokens of the one
19:59
the which makes it 10 times better to just put on and keep going when you're doing it you got separate thing each
20:05
individual pile when you first edition it's a lot cleaner yeah it cleans it up
TURN 3 - Main Event: Wish upon a faux-pah
20:10
and I'm intrigued to see what New Zealand does as the because everyone says that's even better so it's kind of
20:16
now the to buy will be buy new revered game so there we go
20:23
[Music]
Wish 1 - What game do you wish would be a travel game?
20:30
moving on to the main section here as I've previously explained you're going to be rubbing my lamp I beg
20:37
you not again Dave not again free wishes I'm going to be granting a wish oh okay
20:44
so my first wish will be what game do you wish would be a travel game you can play along wherever you are as well if
20:51
you want um but I will be ruining your wishes just to make it clear this is Jin Davey I'm have a myal laugh as well I
20:57
think yeah no cool so what game do you wish
21:06
would be a travel game so start with you too okay I thought about this and I
21:12
think eclipse eclipse yes if you could turn that into a travel game that would be amazing yeah yeah I like it cuz it's
21:20
so fiddly as it is as a main game if you can make it work as a travel game and it's a wish so it can be outlandish say
21:26
that's I human you can wish fine yeah this is so I want to say all of them you
21:33
want to say all of them cuz I want to take them all with me wherever I go I want to take my whole collection and put
21:38
it like in a little tiny little bag like Mary poppin says just take them all with yeah I think that'd be a great idea but
21:45
I mean there is there's so Frost punk you could take little miniature version of that little travel game of frost punk
21:50
you know what I'm actually picturing it in my mind and I can just see all the parts I mean when I was when I was a kid growing up I you know I played a lot
21:58
when I was a kid but I had a travel edition of Monopoly and Monopoly junor and cludo but I had it was one it was in
22:05
a hard plastic case that had drawers that slide out uh and the the the the
22:10
board was on a a plastic uh board that had little rivets in that you could put the little hotels in nice and then you
22:17
would take that off the bottom put it on the top and then you then you'd play and it was it was great I love I played it to the fashion wasn't it at a certain
22:23
point in the ughs or like in the '90s where travel games were like we just got to make make it smaller we going make it
22:29
smaller was small and Tiny the money was Tiny but it was really good and I had lots of these different versions they
22:35
were fantastic um so every time I think of travel game I always think of of that and that size and looking sort of on it
22:41
now I think Katan has got a travel Edition which which folds up quite nicely which is quite similar to that um
22:47
but out of all the games that I have I think probably talking about as we talked
22:53
about it earlier would probably be Wings B and the reason why I say Wings yeah is because of the fact that I've got the
22:59
nesting box I I am financially invested in this sucker now so even if I have got
23:04
worms ban I Ain getting out of it I'm in it now so you know sometimes if you want to play a game of two player wingspan
23:11
and you got to hold the whole big box down and take it all out and you know what sometimes you don't want to do that
23:16
sometimes you want to just get out a little version of it just a play two player and you're done so wingspan 100%
23:22
because it just be nice just to get a little set down play it and you're done never I didn't think about how the nest
23:28
box would affect its I don't want to say travel ability but for example wingan
23:34
yeah wingan is never coming to a convention with me it's just it just isn't and that's a real shame well we
23:39
went to to Bristol didn't we you played it obviously on the on the live stream for the BG game marathon launch and um
23:44
you have to take this hold down box it's massive and it's nice void for to two
23:49
conventions never again never again unless you've got the retail version which is OB half the size yes maybe so
23:58
how about yourself Becky well mine is quite typical I think so I've gone for a travel version of Lords of Water Deep
24:05
Lords of I thought you would G I'm anything if not predictable um so
24:12
the reason I went for this was a because it's one of my favorite games but it would be I'd like it to be light enough
24:18
to just put in a big jacket pocket and the computer game version isn't great so
24:24
I don't think so the steam version or or whichever you know on on a computer version because I don't like how you've
24:30
got to scroll through the buildings so I was trying to think of anything that I couldn't play on BGA which in my mind
24:37
turns things into a travel game CU it's on you know a tablet or whatever and that one I just don't like the the
24:44
online version so small version of Lords of Water Deep please that still somehow has the nice pieces somehow and the
24:52
lovely mat but you can have a little menu of the buildings and then the buildings are little small bases that just correspond to what's on the menu
24:58
yeah that would do yeah that would be fun a wish granted so
25:06
now so now it's the evil side where basically this game you can only ever
25:12
play it with your Nemesis the person you most dislike the person that you hate because you travel all the time with
25:19
this game that's who you're playing it with oh would you still play
25:25
it well I okay first mind anyone you still play
25:30
it um I don't know that I have a nemesis most people don't we're adults but if
25:36
I okay but people that would mainly mildly infuriate you I guess um oh that is a
25:44
hard one because it's one of my favorite games but I was hoping that would be the case but I know what they would do they
25:49
would just keep playing mandatory quests on me and I want the the worst bit about that game
25:56
they they would just get no I don't think I want to play it then no I'm sorry no no wish is gone I try not to be
26:02
Sheldon Cooper yeah who had Nemesis obviously this was cppy um but no I
26:08
wouldn't no no way no I just wouldn't even the very thought of playing it with
26:13
my nees it just it ilks me so cool there we go never wish squashed I'll do it you
26:20
do it there we go I'm quite competitive so you yeah that game every time beat a nemesis
Wish 2 - What type of game do you wish had more games?
26:26
it's going to feel 10 times better right very true I like it I like it there you go your wish granted T all right there's
26:33
the bridge right moving
26:39
on what type of game do you wish had more games so this can be from a Euro or
26:46
something maybe even like a a brand like Nemesis so you want there to be more Nemesis games but Euros three is not
26:54
enough deck builders yeah know tell me about it just would throw it out there there a kind of a good classification of
27:02
what I mean by this how about yourself let's start with you Becky this time um I'd quite like there to be more single
27:08
player rle and rights that I like well it doesn't have to be single player basically I don't ever get to play
27:15
Rolland rights normally because curly doesn't like them particularly y so I
27:21
have played them on BGA or other versions that sort of thing but then it is sort of like a solo game really
27:27
you're not playing with anyone else so I guess maybe rolling rights that curlyy would like all right I'll make it more
27:33
specific rolling rights that Curly would like so you can play them together you play them more exactly yeah okay I like
27:39
it how about you T then I would like to see more hidden movement games yeah like there's not that many of a couple
27:47
more yeah letters of White Chapel that's the one Adrian was talking about as well maybe if they could just mix in a little
27:53
bit of backstabbing into it as well make it harder his little eyes just yeah
27:58
hidden movement with a little bit of you know traitoris in the group as well that'd be quite cool yeah I like it I
28:04
would play it how about you Dan I I love a Euro that has a strong
28:12
theme so I mean there's plenty out there but being the the crazy mind Clash lover
28:18
that I am I think I'd like to see more games in the same universe as an acony cool yeah I like that cuz I it's so rich
28:26
that so story rich Rich for a Euro game and I love I love the way that the story
28:33
of the you know the asteroid and then the second asteroid but what happens next it is Earth destroyed as we know it
28:38
I don't know I'd like to find out get me back in the universe again give me some more M Clash if you're listening grant
28:44
us that way please so now Jin Davey all games are
28:50
now that type of game
28:56
Wicked now single game is a rolling rolling right no no no but You' been to
29:02
play them with curly yeah but all games ever terraforming Mars will not work as
29:07
a r right I bet they'll try bet they're going to try they've done
29:12
the dice one they're going to do it of course they're going to do it if it's a good all right if
29:18
terraforming Mars can do a good one then all right but I yeah I don't think so no no I don't think so Dan would you still
29:26
do it every game's now heavy Euro yeah yeah I I wouldn't mind that yeah i' just
29:32
died and gone to heaven Monopoly the heavy Euro that is fine an economic Euro no
29:39
problem at all cool I mean and tambo's in you're just in no no actually no
29:44
probably not because with the hidden trait of it it's going to be a bit of a mixup of other the crowds and people
29:49
might start hating each other you might you know so we're okay in our group because we all kind of like each other and we can get over it but some there
Wish 3 - What game do you wish would be more affordable?
29:55
are those people who just yeah be a very interesting convention wouldn't
30:01
it lots of people shouting at each other over the table tables flipped Perfect Right Moving on what
30:10
game would you wish is more affordable so it's going to make a cheaper game what game's just out a little bit too
30:16
expensive that maybe you've not wanted to buy IE Um Kingdom Death monster um or
30:22
Mage night there's two games that just sit slightly above my price bracket to be able to buy in just
30:28
by's start with you down any Lera game any L Eagle Griffin yeah they're all
30:36
really pricey aren't they I mean they're great and they look great um I always said that with the Ser of games that it
30:42
looks like someone's thrown up on the board but but if you to any any lemon
30:48
but if you break it down actually have a look it's beautiful and it's really nice and uh you know you can see why it's the way it is however they all they are
30:55
pricey uh I saw someone on um on some um group on Facebook said that there's no
31:00
Lera games currently for new for sale in the country no it's crazy which is staggering um but um you know the price
31:07
that they do sell them for is about what 120 quid if you're lucky maybe a bit more so yeah bring them down yeah I
31:16
agree Tay I would say chip three games for me cuz I always want to like twoo
31:22
many bones I like I like to Bow them myself but they're just too expensive just for me to over the 100 quid Market
31:27
that near premum yeah premium yeah so premium poker chips yeah exactly yeah but um yeah chip through games for me
31:33
okay Becky mine was too many bones but I did have a very honorable mention so s as T has decided to no no no it's good
31:41
because my other my other one was basically games with minis such as
31:46
Mansions of Madness because I don't care about mini I don't care how good it is if you can do that game for you know 25%
31:54
off and just have cardboard standies I'm fine with that okay absolutely fine with
31:59
that so now the ball games match its cost so
32:05
all of the pieces are going to be cheap and
32:11
nasty because that's what it's cost I thought there been nice nice time to put in a little you know little uh economic
32:19
justification of why these board games cost so much Eagle Griffin they put a lot of work they all screen printed but
32:26
now they're all going to look quite cheap like a lot cheaper the price if they paid a lot for it then it's going
32:32
to be a little bit less it's not going to beo all for some of them you know to I love you are we
32:40
allowed are we allowed to bling them up great question that's a great question it would yes yeah no you yeah of course
32:47
you can you spend more money that's fine then no no but keeping in in theme of the game yeah no they're all going to be
32:53
knockoffs from Amazon
32:59
yeah I don't think I could I don't think I could play CU what I'm what I want in the game is exactly the same except for
33:06
the fact it hasn't got stand it hasn't got Min I want everything else to be beautiful though and if it isn't going
33:11
to be that's I'll just yeah I'll just pay the money for the I'll have to
33:17
because I couldn't I couldn't do it I couldn't do it no you can keep you wish
33:22
and da I've not I've not g gone for any of these yet no zero so far not for chip
33:28
Theory games cuz the whole idea is there's nice poke chips imagine it was a cardboard chip oh it would be horrible
33:33
and you have like a little Health Mark or something not the chips and you put the health underneath and and the art work on the chips no no it wouldn't work
33:41
no it wouldn't it wouldn't the whole the tactile element of that game is really
33:46
nice start clinking your chips and you move the chips just yeah I think with
33:52
eagle Griffin I mean I can think of two I think it's only two titles maybe there
33:57
maybe more than one and and I stand corrected but kban and venos happened
34:02
before Eagle Griffin took him took them on so um if you're going back to those quality or that quality then it's fine
34:11
it's going to match his cost so it's going to make them cheaper so it' probably be a 60 say half price of 60
34:17
quid game it's fine so it probably would be about I owned both of those games when they before the eagle Griffin had
34:22
them and they were fine and they served the purpose and venos isn't that bad to look at uh the the first first edition
34:28
of Vos is actually all right it's okay and cman isn't so bad either but it's nowh near as good as IO toally goodness
34:34
no so it's it makes it more accessible as well I guess the fact that you can't get those games at the moment is
34:40
probably why you're like yeah I'll take that deal I'll do that it's funny how we mentioned Eno tool because obviously
34:45
he's done the artwork for Galactic Cruise yes and I've not backed Galactic Cruise because unfortunately I don't
34:52
have the money to back it so and that's they're asking $89 I think for that yeah
Wish 4 - If you can any designer design any type of boardgame theme & type, who would it be?
34:57
spare funds no um so you know if it was priced cheaper then I'd be all over you'd be all over yeah it's good game as
35:04
well very good game um but there'll be people in the group that have it so we'll get to play very true that's the
35:10
that's the upside if you could have any designer design a type of board game theme and type who would it
35:17
be so what what designer do you wish could make a different board game okay
35:24
so I would go with ou Rosenberg oh me and T on the
35:30
same but I was going to say put him in space with nextly the same thing with space
35:37
vegetables or something cool and ships I literally see I'm not I'm not lying I've literally written uve space game love
35:43
the SP it's B's game if you're listening so glad we got first yeah we all want you to do a space game please all of us
35:50
how funny that' be great that would be great space that's an an easy one go on what's the horrible what are you going
35:55
to do to this one they will never design a ball game again
36:02
fine he's out sorry M you've done enough yeah if it was any other designer maybe not but
36:09
because it's eay he's had a million games it's just vegetables and more farming so yeah we'll forgive you for
36:14
hengist U but the rest you know that's fine how funny we You' got wish you've
36:21
all got a wish can't say I'm so evil now that is going to seem like we
36:26
totally made up the fact that we had the same answer there but it's true because we all have the same answer yeah know is
Wish 5 - Pick a board game to own throughout time & space, what game do you wish you could get hold of but you can't at the moment?
36:33
true yeah it was the first thing that poed in my the listeners are going to be like yeah come on I I promise you
36:39
listeners we did all we did all come up with that individually yeah was all all ad Li have be interesting to ask
36:46
everybody else in the PO that question to see if they come up with the same answer yeah pick a ball game to own
36:51
throughout time and space what game did you wish you got you you could have got but have missed then you can't get hold
36:58
of Mega me you not get hold of anymore not in it not in its Old State you get
37:04
it in in a new State uh because they split the game between into eastern and western Empires um but they didn't make
37:12
it as as nice as it was when Mega civilization came out it came in a
37:17
lovely wooden chest it was Lush um Flo Dean was the guy that um was the guy
37:23
that made it and um they they only made so many and I I had it it's like 180
37:29
quid when it came out and I bought it um and this like it took me hours to pop
37:34
this thing it took ages and the reason why I sold it is if a game angers me in
37:40
any way shape or form I will flog it because I don't want that I don't want anger I don't want a game to make me feel angry it should make me feel the
37:46
opposite of angry so I always i' always get rid and that game made me angry and the reason why is because I played a 17
37:52
player game of it cuz the player count is between 5 and 18 uh it's nuts we've
37:59
been a 17 player game EV it you try and organize 17 people around the board and
38:04
they were unfortunately we had about three or four cheaters yeah and that made me angry so I sold it and I wish I didn't I wish I didn't sell it so that's
38:10
the people rather than the game then very true very true it wasn't the game but then would if the game was different
38:16
would people have cheated or found a way to cheat yeah yeah yeah yeah so Tambo what how about yourself yeah I think I
38:22
Battle Star Galactica would be my game that I missed I think yeah I love that I love that game used to play around chis
38:28
rip and yeah I wish I bought it then I would have definitely been that would
38:33
the thing is I didn't know about ball games that well then to be no no no and I suppose there is unfathomable now
38:40
there is which is very close yeah they're doing an expansion for that yes they are soon but as I'm a massive
38:46
sci-fi fan I think TOA WIS it's a good one how about yourself Becky I'm just
38:52
really struggling with this no old games that you can remember like what was the remember that game where used to like
38:57
fling rocks at each other with the the elastic Crow and catapult crossbows and
39:02
catapult I didn't have that I've only heard that sort of secondhand nostalgic kind of I think we release it like in
39:09
the last eight years I'm sure they off hero have been one of mine but they remade it they remade it yeah they did
39:16
cuz if if I've got it in my head I want something I will move heaven and
39:22
bloody to get it or I'd make it myself e glue pop there we go perfect example
39:27
iglo pop this is a ridiculous game that um Joel from Deon D yes yeah yeah okay
39:35
yeah Joe from Deon dice introduced me to and basically you're just I know I've talked about it before you're just
39:40
shaking little miniature Igloo near your ear to determine how many beads there are in them sounds ridiculous and it is
39:47
but oh my God it's is so fun it's a great so I've I've designed the the 3D
39:52
print yeah I haven't actually printed them out to try them yet I've bought the beads I I know what card say cuz Joel
39:58
was kind enough to let me take a photo of them don't Mr Igloo pop Mrs iglo poop don't worry I'm not I'm not going to
40:04
mass produce this game I just want a copy and if I could buy one I would 100% buy one from you well he you can wish
40:10

40:29
it's so good yeah all right yeah yes there you go you're in you're in no no
40:36
TM I could somehow put some tags on a glue pop and make it
40:41

Wish 6 - What crowdfunding game would you want to have right now?
40:49

40:56
word I love it I that's that's going in right moving on what Kickstarter game
41:06
would you wish to own now and to be released now so it might have been one you've already bought and one you've
41:12
already invested into I know my answer for this mine would be Primal The Awakening because [ __ ] me this has been
41:18
a long campaign it's been it's been they keep they keep teasing it it's like a carrot on the stick where they just go
41:25

41:38
yeah that's my answer no one asked but that's my answer how about you Becky let's start with you I've only got a
41:45
very very few kickstarters and game FS that um I've ever backed and mine that I
41:51
wish it was here right now although I've got a bit of a caveat now is my seia I really wish that was here now
41:57
however do you want to play that me and curly are just watching um The Last of Us which is all about mushroom so do you
42:04
know what I'm almost kind of thinking maybe maybe I don't we haven't finished it yet so no
42:11
spoilers anyone please but oh my God what a great TV program that's very good but it has made me realize how much like
42:16
there's mushrooms every damn wear and I'm not a fan of a mushroom to eat mushrooms are lovely you'll never
42:23
convince me otherwise but there's not one type of mushroom that there's lazy different different tastes and textes no
42:30
thank you the lion made people eating that thing looks amazing I'm good it's like steak T like ass looks revolting
42:37
have you tried it have you
42:44
ass that's go that's going in the bloopers the yeah the after waterers shed special with Davey and Dan see I
42:52
went to Bristol the other day with my friend and we were walking around this kind of gifty shop thing and mushrooms everywhere mushrooms on earrings
42:59

43:07
with micro doing into the prac so apparently so now they want t-shirts everywhere yeah Vicki loves mushrooms
43:13
she's mushroom maybe this is going to be the start of the last of us though this is what I'm scared of I've seen what
43:18
those things look like and I'm not a fan of that so Sky's first guy
43:23
M back the so yeah my Celia but but you know I am a
43:31
bit FR of the old mushrooms now I'm not going to lie yeah Tambo um mine would be
43:37
Nemesis retaliation cuz I'm waiting so I would love to have that right now but then again I'm worried what you're going to do with the genie part so I might
43:44
change it to uh Company of Heroes of Heroes they keep playing the same as you it's like now that's to next year now
43:50
yeah it's annoying that looks like a good game as well game when we get it PC games also very good if you like a a
43:59
strong strategy game set in World War II very good game oh absolutely
44:04
not very good I'm sure I'm glad that was very flippant I don't mean it horribly but absolutely not for me
44:12
whatsoever damn can it be a game that's already been out yeah so so you can't
44:17
get hold of I can have my time game yeah I know I'd have my time game with side okay and the reason being is because I
44:23
think the side bubble is kind of burst and I don't think that side it's too much love these days I love it and the
44:30
Hy the hype train of it was crazy when it first came out I think that hype train is gone yeah it's still a fantastic game and it's still it still
44:36
gets to my table as much as I can but the whole excitement of it when it first came out it was always at the table and
44:42
it was always being played and it was it was an enjoyable experience so just to have that experience again would be
44:48
really really nice it's it was one of the first fast Euros like you do one
44:54
thing next person like oh it's my turn it's my turn again oh it's my turn again H and that feels really nice for a Euro
45:01
that which it's kind of like middling to I said yeah it's about mid it's Midway is it yeah and it's it's great yeah it
45:08
is great so this is going to be the last Kickstarter ever
45:15
created this is the last crowdfunding game so there'll be no more you're
45:20
taking the money off of these hopeless developers and go no no more game found
45:27
not just Kickstarter no more Kickstarter nothing no more crowdfunding bang that's it there I'm okay with that CU
45:33
crowdfunding as a whole I'm not a mass bigger shoulders than me Becky to bear that burden yeah I'm all right I don't I
45:40
don't back much of it so from a selfish point of view I don't care doesn't affect me I respect it I
45:47
respect it because I've just gone down on a Time War yeah no no be loads of
45:53
games absolutely not like how many mineclash games would I miss out on absolutely not they would probably still
46:00
have developed them wouldn't they what by for retail instead yeah maybe these maybe but then but then the first mine
46:07
crash game was triron and without the success of tryon's Kickstarter they wouldn't be where they are today maybe
46:13
and I was I was one I backed it when it first came out uh and uh yeah so I would yeah stepping stones for a lot of
Wish 7 - What board game do you wish was never invented?
46:20
developers and designers really I'm out on that no no get
46:27
ration he said the wrong game right so to the last and final wish
46:35
what ball game do you wish was never invented starting with you Dan zombie
46:41
side zombie side I cannot stand it I cannot stand it fight fight fight uh I'm
46:47
sorry for anybody that likes it um but for me it is a promoter of the filth
46:53
that is the alpha gamer uh and that is the reason why I will never play zombie side again now there are other ones
47:00
obviously in the in the uh in the series like Marvel Zombies uh and the Night of
47:06
the Living Dead that I would consider looking at but zombie side in its core
47:12
absolutely not not for me not for me and in i' I feel that my tastes have changed
47:18
and grown over the years and zombies I had zombies side first when it first was released so you're going back a long
47:23
time that was like when it first came on Kickstarter I remember that but it was like the first million dollar game on
47:29
Kickstarter this is the early days uh and you know and it was it was it was fine but it it just promotes Alpha
47:36
gamerm for me too much maybe it was the people I played with I don't know but for me it's not for me I remember when
47:42
it first came out me and my friends got it and we played a lot of it and we en
47:48
really enjoyed it to start with and then I think it did slowly you could slowly see the cracks start to form as you
47:54
played it over and over and over and event was like let's go back to descent
47:59
we're done with zombie side is it as you said I think there there can be that kind of dominant gamer that can take
48:06
over that game if one person Maxes a character out it's boring for the rest of the people yeah that's how I that's
48:12
how I felt when I played it but you're going back a long time I haven't played the second edition I haven't seen much of the second edition if they've changed
48:19
a few things or they've worked out a few Kings then maybe it might be a game that I might be invested in but as it stands
48:24
when it first came out not for me okay Dan's making it go poof into the
48:30
void sorry T that's I don't love the game but I just think it's a great game just occasionally bring to the table and
48:36
just have a no-brainer and he just no-brainer with zombies yeah I like what you did 30 nice um I
48:44
don't know if they did it the back in the day but the mechanic if someone levels up really quickly you get load more zombies coming cuz the E leveled up
48:50
so fast yes cuz you had the meter at the top yes the more zombies come in there the lower level people then have a
48:57
chance to level up or they die but I found that that I found that that that high level person would still Al a gamer and well I'm going to go tank through
49:03
this because I'm higher than anybody El just take over I always find you always get one person who never levels up as well it's really weird how it work yeah
49:10
anyway um it on me yeah I would do letter Jam that's my last
49:18
one there's two hours in my life I'm never getting back why T why he hated it you really
49:26
did I'm so Sor I think it's cuz I'm kind of dyslexic so it's hard for me to get my head round anyway so it was just painful and yeah no I didn't like it you
49:33
jammed up yeah I think yeah I just couldn't get my head around it at all I I thought everyone else down as well I
49:38
didn't like the pressure I'm C it I might let people down and I think it didn't helped that we were playing the rules wrong yeah that was yeah weit so
49:46
everybody should have got a go at guessing a word which should have meant that they that everyone else got a good
49:53
chance of getting their letters used which we didn't do so I think that might have made it a bit more make a lot
49:59
harder to guess surely maybe maybe but yeah thing was I couldn't really think
50:05
of a way of making that short cuz I could tell you were just not loving life with that but there's not really any way
50:10
of kind of skipping to the end there no so that is a shame like you can't even say let's just do two rounds then
50:16
because you've got to get you've got to try and get all your letters so there is no way of skipping to the end of that
50:22
game there are some there are some really good work games out there absolutely absolutely um but like if
50:28
you're if you're struggling with a word game I mean the one that I would find would be quite good is paperback because
50:36
paperback is a deck builder for letters with letters but you you also you help
50:42
each other around the table as well with the letters that you're trying to make try to make the best kind of score and then with that score you then buy better
50:48
letters to make different words really good game that's cool I used to play a lot of lexicon cool yeah these are two
50:55
games I've never heard of and I love work lexicon's like an an old card uh letter game and it's it's you have you
51:02
make a word in the middle and you basically play a card out and you have you can take a letter back off of another word to make different words you
51:09
got to get rid of all your cards first person to do it then basically you get lowest points the winner but anyone with
51:15
cards in the hand score those points um it's just all about manipulating the words that are on the table good little
51:22
simple fun word game we've always enjoyed word games in my family yeah I I like games I like SC I love
51:30
Bogle just that didn't click with it fair enough my
51:35
game going to get rid of you're all going to hate me and I don't even care do an Imperium get out of town [ __ ] off
51:42
y get out get out I'm right with that no I played it only once no and I liked it
51:49
I liked it but you don't need it to exist when lost ruins of anak exists you
51:55
don't need it to exist and isn't as good as lost ruins I've just gone back to the Ball Game Battle episode well that's
52:01
that's how I feel that's how I feel about it said AR
52:10
M you should have said no I don't is actually a really good game it's really well thought of and it's a real nice
52:15
game just I don't want it not to be there anymore so this being an evil thing of never
52:22
having the game invented well you're also not going to have any type of that game ever invented or anything it
52:30
inspired so there'll be no more deck builders no more work replacement it's got two of those in there for the Jean
52:36
and what you done just murdered all the games just murdered all the games of
52:41
Water Deep oh no oh no oh no no more laws of Water Deep oh I
52:48
love that game game snob but I'm getting rid
52:54
of because I've got Los run of anac but if I can't have L Runes of an either
52:59
either no cuz they're both pretty much inspired of the same concept because they yeah they're both the not the same
53:06
game Los ruins is by far superior in my opinion and there we are well it doesn't have the combat side of it which is
53:12
probably the side you don't like I enjoy that side of it I get it I get it and I just more interaction with the player
53:17
and I'm just not interested in the June world I'm the board is Dune is amazing I've I've seen the film I'm seen
53:24
the film shortly the other one great I just don't care enough it's too Sandy
53:29
it's too Sandy and the board you're still going through with it yeah no no no no no no no no no I'm going
53:37
to you're talking yourself around no no no absolute take back I just I just choose not to play June Imperium Lots
53:43
but it can still exist I would just still think it's very very pale imitation of lot AR it so there we are
53:49
fine there we go and I know you guys like it so I don't want to actually burn it love it love it it Dam zombie side
53:59
you going to do it yeah yeah zombie side make any kind of like dungeon caller G
54:04
would it that's fine I'm okay with that you know
54:11
this I'm okay with that yeah I'm in Boom D had another wish I'm happy as well
54:18
yeah I don't care letter gam s whatever I do get a B Scrabble but I'm not
54:23
bothered if they don't get me it will go boom boom I took one for the team and kept my game even though I don't like it
54:30
and you've gotten rid of L I did think that that was quite selfish wasn't it it's not just letter J all letter games
TURN 4 - Would you rather...have one wish for yourself with consequences, or infinite wishes with no consequences but can only be for other people that you can't benefit from
54:36
see your thing well there we go all word games all word games yeah will'll be evil
54:42
Tambo evil backstabber
54:57
that's has been the main segment with Jin Davey and crew we're moving on now we're going to do a would you rather
55:03
this one is you can either you can have one wish that has extreme consequences for yourself or infinite wishes but can
55:11
never affect you they have to be for other people do do you count wouldn't affect you as in like you're just happy
55:17
that they've got a nice time well so they wouldn't affect you are you so you couldn't be oh I wish my partner has lots of money cuz you're going to get
55:22
lots of money and you couldn't maybe wish for some conflict politics that maybe they improve the
55:28
country because that's going to affect you so it's going to be about people you don't really know or like people in the
55:34
street where you see someone you go oh I wish that person got what they wanted and they get what they wanted oh I definitely do that great or is one wish
55:42
that you can be anything that you want but it might well it's going to have some consequence no the nice wishes for
55:48
everyone 100% nice there we go the alteristic Becky well yeah I suppose you didn't wish for the the ball game to not
55:55
be invented your man I'm a nice person Tamo no I think it'd be really nice just
56:01
kind of doing that sort of lovely like you might be sat in a bus or on a car or something and you go I I wish that
56:07
person find 50 Quid in their pocket and you'd see that lovely little happy smile on their face that' be eventually you would come a curse though cuz you'd be
56:13
like why do these things happen for everyone else and never for me that's my life
56:19
[Laughter] anyway right I'm just getting my violin out
56:24
Hur well I'd wish for a nice thing for you mate cuz I've got good wishes yeah there you go go damn sorry I just threw
56:32
up in my mouth no I would be the same I would be the same it's nice to see other people
56:37
happy yeah and it's uh that's why I lose at board games that's what it is I let
56:42
yeah you yeah yeah that me too me too cuz you wish the other people to win that's what you you already have this
56:48
don't you I do yeah they make you feel even better by afterwards like I won you you didn't win but I won
56:57
I'll be the same you'll be the same I would maybe it's a bit too obvious of a choice I made there no not at all I just
57:04
I mean you know C would be himself depends if you're a Slytherin or
57:10
a Hufflepuff I mean I'm a Hufflepuff so you like to sliver in
57:17
so yeah I think I'm with you guys really I mean yeah you have to say that
57:24
now cuz you just said how no went first it's why I went
TURN 5 - Penultimate Turn: What's Coming Up
57:30
last going to join the masses no it was I I did one that wasn't ball game themed
57:36
because we just had a whole episode that was all about ball game so why not throwing something a little bit
57:41
different so
Davey - Dragons Dogma 2
57:50
guys now we've made it to the end well done if you've made it this far we're going to be talking about what we got
57:55
coming up what we going to be doing what what we're looking forward to within the board game universe or outside of it's
58:01
the penultimate turn I'll start um I've I'm going to go video games everyone
58:07
knows I like playing my video games as well so I'm going to go a little bit out there dragon Dragon Dogma 2 is coming
58:13
out I'm looking forward to that if you not heard of it it's like a Capcom RPG typical Capcom thing of lots of menus
58:19
lots of jankiness but somehow when you get involved you just end up loving it
58:26
and and Dragon's Dogma came out around the same time as Skyrim so I think it kind of the original went under the
58:31
radar a little bit really good fancy game it's got really tight combat it's all about the combat you get these
58:37
vocations which are your like skills and your classes that you unlock and it has
58:42
a weird real nice like Choice system within the RPG elements as well where things you choose will affect what kind
58:49
of happens in the story or who you know your love affair is and stuff like that didn't realize you could love people and
58:55
I got the end of the game and I was like he I didn't realize that was a part of
59:01
the game so I could have had a wife and a family damn just too coldhearted but
59:06
yeah the second one's coming out the end of this month March 22nd and it looks
59:11
awesome so if you don't know about it and you like kind of those fantasy RPGs check it out looks like it's going to be
59:17
there's been a lot of people that have got their hands on it already like I to say IGN but everyone hates IGN now but
59:23
um game ranked Etc all got the hands on they all say it's they think it's going to be game of the year so yeah if you
59:31
like your fancy RPGs check it out I like Capcom yes but for me it's made on the
59:37
resent evil yeah it's one franchise it's Resident Evil no I didn't used to like
59:43
Monster Hunter then I got into I got past the menus at one point and then I
59:49
was about 10 hours of 15 hours in and it just clicked yeah a Fallout I couldn't get
59:54
past the Vault Fall Out Three I this is rubbish I want to pick everything up and I can't pick everything up cuz now I'm
1:00:00
over in com I on My Grave by the way I'm over com because I'm always over in
1:00:06
[ __ ] comt why do they make all these things that you can pick up I can't get I didn't get it I like I left it for
1:00:13
like two years and I picked it back up again went what did I do what have I done amazing yeah and I did I feel
1:00:21
because Capcom likes its like janky slightly Japanese like RPG like
1:00:26
Japanese like style of of menu and UI sometimes it hasn't necessarily hit off
Becky - Dog Park New Tricks
1:00:32
in the west but we've got more we've got used to it more I think now and now we're used to that system they've
1:00:38
started to really H hit like their stride with in the west so yeah they uh
1:00:43
they're definitely doing big things and I think this one's going to be good nice yeah so I'm looking forward to it how
1:00:49
about you Becky you got anything coming up dog park new tricks dog park New Tricks nice yeah turning tricks on the
1:00:57

1:01:26

1:01:33
you have to build this this puzzles you need it yeah it's going to be real you got a pack of cards with the th you you
1:01:40

my first ever Kickstarter game and I made a few mistakes I was just so excited yeah you
1:01:52
bought dog park hey now bad
1:01:59
boy bad boy your it's it's got its place I think it's got its place because it's
1:02:05
a really good easy to understand kind of it's not really a tableau Builder but
1:02:12
it's sort of his it's not a deck cuz you're not holding the cards but most
1:02:18
people can understand this game yeah and you got been interested in dogs that's nice it's a nice little theme stuck on
1:02:24
the side there the tokens are all good um yeah and I like the artwork I know
1:02:30
it's had some real negative um sort real criticisms about it I like the um the
1:02:37
artwork the only thing I don't like is one of the main dogs on the front of the Box the main I think it's a collie not
1:02:43
sure about that one and there's one dog with like a brown head and a black body it looks like a Frankenstein dog yeah
1:02:49
but I love the artwork of the the game I think it's really pretty and again it's done really quickly four rounds yeah I
1:02:56
it should have been Birds no Bird Park pirates pirates par no no I like Dog
Tambo - Lost Ruins of Arnak Lost Expedition
1:03:04
span it's a game all about dogs what about tail span you could how long is
1:03:10
the tail tail span but no I'm really looking forward to dog park New Tricks it's going to be good I'm looking
1:03:15
forward to uh lost ruins we' got that Thursday yes the expansion yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I think you're going to
1:03:20
like expansion and it's going to be on my new table so that's what about I'm try it yet ni good yeah it does pretty
1:03:27
nice how long did the new table take to arrive well I mentioned it about third episode in this podcast when we first
1:03:33
started wow and we're on what episode 40 odd Now 50 so yeah it's fair it took while I was never in a rush for I had a
1:03:39
table so I wouldn't care so but and it arrived it all arrived one piece all in good condition it was it was I'm really
1:03:45
pleased with you were worried weren't you though I was really worried cuz all the bad stuff on Facebook but clearly only hearing about all the bad stuff not
1:03:51
the good stuff sure and it was all good I don't like American Delivery Systems are shocking they're all damaged in
1:03:56
America but here was Fu good nice could be could be the P people they ended up crying with ended up just not caring
1:04:04
Chuck them over the fence wasn't Hermes or every yeah yeah
1:04:10
I'm for to seeing your new and the expansion on Los ruins I've always want to play it I that it's good yeah I've
1:04:16
not played the expansion yet they're good characters so one is perfect for curlyy so we need to try and get him not
1:04:23
playing the mechanic because that's all about really really planning your turns far in advance and knowing what you want
1:04:28
to do in a minute so that you can load the right little tooth in your Cog so we need to make him not play the mechanic
Dan - The 24 Hour Board Game Marathon
1:04:34
all right and I don't want to play the mechanic cuz I'm not yeah I like well I think we just need to not play the
1:04:39
mechanics I want to break the new characters are any ones I haven't played i' played the other ones to death the journalist is good I like the journalist
1:04:46
but yeah um it's a it's really good it's really good U how about yourself done I am kneee in plans for this year's
1:04:53
24-hour ball game marathon oh as it's wind we are we are now launched
1:04:59
and we are now raising money for c for Tots and we're selling tickets for this year's event on the 3rd of August which
1:05:06
is good looking forward to it it's in its sth year we've already raised £23,000 for cots with tots and now
1:05:12
hopefully we're going to raise a bit more Lov to get the 30 grand it' be amazing that' be great wouldn't it it be great to save all the babies but uh save
1:05:18
babies and play games while doing it I eat loads of sweets I eat loads of sweets I drink lots lots of of of
1:05:25
unbranded Monster Energy I said both uh yes to keep awake I I did cheat last
1:05:31
year I did sleep was the only time not for long though mate no it was about two hours but it just took the edge off took
1:05:37
the edge it just took the edge off but yes looking forward to that yeah it's a great course and it's a great thing to
1:05:44
do we enjoy it even though it is obviously a bit groeling when it gets to the what 20 no even before that 16 hour
1:05:52
mark say when you see the sun come up yeah that is when you to contemplate why am I still here and your brain just
1:05:58
starts going like that and then you got like something like Fu chain magnet stuck in
1:06:04
front of you or you got something really heavy yeah he what am I yeah yeah what AM iing hey hegemony heyy that's when
1:06:13
you need that's when you need to play Men at Work yes that was great at that
1:06:18
time of the morning everything just the the the kind of they did they not all
1:06:23
blur together in some kind of one super but the idea that you everyone is so invested in is this little man going to
1:06:29
hold going to hold the little brick is it going to like the the absolute the
1:06:36
focus and you you're try not to shake because of all your non-branded energy drinks coffee that you've been drinking
1:06:41
it's just brilliant so I wouldn't go for a heavy game then I'd go for the lightest stupid game and that is a good one it's when you see someone who's been
1:06:48
awake for 24 hours and they seem right that that happens and people they're
1:06:53
like oh right we see we driving home yeah you okay they'll crash they get home and they just crash and bur there's
1:06:59
there is a Tipping Point I find where suddenly once I get past the over tiredness stage I can come back out the
1:07:06
other side sometimes and then I'm awake for the day your second wind your second wind yeah where where before that I was
1:07:13
about to crash I was about to die the only second one I've ever had is at my ass never never 24 way it's a really
1:07:20
great event and it's really friendly um you see a lot of the same faces each time but everybody new is welcome and
