TURN 2 - It's beginning to look a lot like quiz-mas
2:09
every year since we've started we've done a Christmas episode and it's always been a Christmas quiz that's nothing to
2:15
do with Christmas this to do with board games yeah it's never been very seasonal is it no we we don't care I just we want
2:21
to do something a bit fun like all year we we chat about games which is obviously fun but we'd like to mix it up
2:27
a little bit have to shoehorn Christmas into our Bard game Hobby what what what goes with board games and
2:33
Christmas because board games and Christmas tend to go together anyway so we just thought we' do a quiz on them so
2:39
it's all good it's it's basically an insight into our mind planning the shittest link
2:45
ever Welcome to our podcast so last year we did uh teams if
2:52
I remember yeah um was bald Bulls the one team that was you and Tambo isn't it
2:57
Bal Bulls the b b have no hair I think we had too many bony M yeah yeah I can't
3:05
remember the spirit Christmas spirit Christmas spirit Island Christmas spirit Island and I can't remember the other
3:11
one what our was no curly C claw curly claw the curly claws I think weird go
3:17
back and listen you'll probably find out yeah it's it's weird but that episode's there so this year we are basically going back to solo so we're going to
3:24
attempt to quiz solo and the difference this year so yeah we're trying something a little bit different is that we haven't come up with the questions at
3:30
all which is kind of exciting and fracking cuz I have no idea what questions we've got so we've got a very
3:37
own quiz master that is someone that we know is a friend of the show please be anold swsa please it might be do a quiz
3:45
now should we should we see who it is yeah go right I'm going to hit Play
3:50
Welcome to the whose turn is it Anyway Christmas podcast board game quiz so that is Paul Grogan from gaming rules
3:57
and Paul is is going to be Santa Paul is gonna be PA with his big I know
4:03
why grou but Paul grou I don't know I don't know where say that's more like the santaan
4:10
Isn't it nice I can't take credit for that that that is a meme that I've seen
4:15
it's basically a Mandalorian dressed up as Santa and it's amazing I I didn't hear it before in white and red bascar
4:22
out Armor All so we've tked Paul's patreon group to come up with the quiz questions
4:29
this year so Paul was originally going to do the questions and he said I'll do the questions for you for your podcast oh awesome that takes the pressure off
4:35
all of us cuz I know every year we're like what we got to come up questions and it's always a bit of a a challenge
4:40
and then we make the quiz so godamn ridiculous and hard that we stitch each other up um and usually laugh about it
4:47
as yeah and Adrian has a tantrum sorry Suk Suk tantrum yeah and
4:52
he's not on tonight's episode we've got um uh three people from the Paul's gaming rules patreon ump PA to help us
4:59
Paul's Little Helpers keeping it Christmas I like it David there go we've got Alex we got Brett and we've got
5:05
Peter who have all spent their time pulling questions together for us to answer tonight and the reason why Paul's
5:10
not done it is because he wanted to take the quiz as well so we had this really weird and very boring kind of logistical
5:16
element of getting all of this uh kind of quiz and recordings here tonight because he wanted to participate and see
5:22
how well he's done and I'll share his score at the end when we've got our scores and we'll see if we beat Paul I
5:28
think no I mean Paul's knowledge on games is
5:33
probably surpasses all five of us put together maybe it could be us five versus him yeah if we collectively get a
5:40
higher score than Paul Grogan I feel happy yeah so is that what we're going for one
5:47
V5 so actually three wise men's probably better isn't it Alex Brett and Peter
5:53
yeah three wise men yeah they rather than bringing us gifts though they've just brought us some qu hard questions
5:58
hard questions yeah yeah nice girl gold Frankenstein
6:05
Girl a bottom reference to all our non uh UK listeners and they're like what is
6:11
bottom what are they talk so I'm not explaining bottom that reques a whole podcast episode Rick ma a edmerson just
6:17
Google it you'll have fun maybe if you're from the 80s and 90s and if
6:23
you're not might be I'm sorry so what we're going to do is we've got the three
6:28
rounds we kick off uh round one and in between about every five questions or so we'll have a little break and talk about
6:35
what we've been playing and some Christmas plans just to break it up a little bit and that's the episode guys make sense yeah let's do it let's go
6:44

ROUND 1 - Questions 1-5
6:50
[Music] [Applause] [Music]

7:22
federation okay yeah I know that yeah I think I know it yeah
7:30

7:36
want Davey to cheat I thought we said we're going to be against Paul yeah it's not it's not it's also a personal as
7:43

7:50
is my game my guess is wrong then yeah definitely I know what it is right think of another game think we another game yeah but we're competitive Gamers Davey
7:57
we are competitive G you're not telling me you don't want to win the quiz out of all of us I don't know I don't care I don't know care I don't mind if I do
8:05
then haha if I don't then it was all a bit of fun yeah exactly you a laugh you a laugh
8:13
a laugh right should we get on with the next one question two attempt a coup I
8:20
don't know the answer to any of these attempt a coup is it the game
8:26
cou the first running through my head I think this is a guess this one it's an
8:33
educated guess but a guess I've got an idea but it's probably yeah I I
8:40
think I vaguely vaguely recall it but I could be
8:45
wrong God I don't know yeah I've got to think of something is it top 100 wasn't
8:52
it yeah that's the only clue you've got it's in the BGG top 100 we all good
9:00
yeah what if I don't know the name of the game but I think I know the game well then it's
9:05
wrong what if I could describe it and draw the picture of the will it still be right and I can
9:11
tell you the designer but I can't tell you the game no no no all right question
9:17
three pay two silverlings to buy a tile from the central Depot oh I know that
9:24

9:39
is a Christmas quiz yeah yeah we better at those we've messed up haven't we yeah yeah oh God I know how many Home Alone
9:45
films so well you know what I'm I'm going to have a little guess I think I'm wrong but God I know this is not
9:52
it I know I'm 100% right Depo Depo Depo you guys oh yeah I'm not I'm not
9:59
competitive yeah I'm not competive wasn't until you read oh I'm hiding my
10:05
answers GA Gauntlet Throne yeah you ready question four question
10:10
four overcome a guardian I think might know it the fact that Becky is going all
10:17
actually confirms exactly what the answer is to me yes I've got one question right come come on yeah bab
10:23
love it if you get it wrong a not sure on that one you haven't no you haven't played this game no
10:30
I know it it's shocking that you haven't played this game it is shocking that you haven't played it question five pay one
10:36
linen and one hide to get one robe and two silver could be any Euro nope nope
10:44
one lining a one hide oh my God to get I think I know it Dave's on fire might
10:50
have four oh I know what is there I don't know what it
10:56
is when are we doing the answers at the end at the end of each round or at the
11:01
end very end at the very end at The Bitter End at the larer end it doesn't
11:08
really matter I think me and Dan are going to be in competition here because I think Davey and JP are going to know
11:14
way more last so there we go five questions in have a little pause just because it's annoying and we want you to
JP's x-mas plans & Cloudspire
11:21
how do we all think we did yeah that's the quiz over um well I've failed well
11:27
we'll see it's early days it's early days so um as I said at the beginning we'll do a little break and uh let's talk about hex
11:34
for each of us and uh what's going on at Christmas time so I'll start and for me
11:40
we had a a recent game of cloud Spire didn't we Davey we did with Miu and Taz
11:45
right Taz friend of the show friend of the gaming group and cury just thrown up in his mouth but I don't care we had a
11:51
great time so me about Taz then I yeah that's a bit hard sorry Taz Taz I
11:58
like you mate Cloud SP not so much keep your opinions to yourself so on a
12:04
podcast so basically we managed to get to the table it's been donkeys uh since
12:09
we've actually got to play the game and yeah I had a blast that night and it was
12:15
a late night actually wasn't it it was a late night yeah got to about what got midnight before we finished got home
12:20
about half 12 yeah which was a bit of like oh this it's a late game but it was
12:26
fun it was really good we had a three players so I play as the grege which are like these insects and basically a hive
12:34
that you you kind of manage and that's the first time I've played them or that I think they've ever been played in our
12:39
group cuz I thought I want to try them out so I played as those guys Taz was the brunin so the the kind of slow
12:46
Giants that hit things hard and you were the Grove tenders right gr tenders yeah all about trees in nature nature and
12:54
yeah yeah got a couple hits in earlier than turtled for the rest of the game Jon I did it was close it was
13:01
close had a tower which could pretty much snipe anywhere on the map late game six R yeah six range so we were I just
13:09
wasn't getting close I just had to turtle and yeah button down the hatches and yeah it was literally one point if
13:16
he had hit basically hit me once and then he won oh wow so so it's really
13:21
good I was a spectator uh so so basically Davey had managed to I think it's either wave one or two might have
13:26
been two two yeah wave two snuck in a bunch of gits is what I'm going to call it bunch of gits that were grouped and
13:33
summoned or whatever and they just slip slip past and decimated my Fortress gate
13:38
and it literally eliminated me uh in in which has never happened in CL Cloud Spire history at a table and uh and it's
13:46
like oh I had to look up the rule what happens when you run out of health and uh yeah it's not good it's not good it
13:53
pretty much took me out the the running of the game but it was quite cool cuz then I was quite free I was like well I don't care anymore so I'll just do
14:00
anything and uh yeah but I still had a blast yeah you still had impact on the game though yeah still did things and
14:06
still kind of got because you kind of release your minions and let them go off and do their own thing even though you
14:12
and Taz were both like right we're going to gang up on on me to obviously knock me down a peg um their minions were
14:19
getting in the way of each other they kept killing each other even they didn't want to and yeah it was just it was just good fun it was funny it was funny and
14:26
the the GRE have this kind of um because all the units or the minions have a way of promoting to to get to their better
14:32
side and every faction does it differently so the brwn and you end up having to unlock that through Fortress
14:37
gate advancements and the Grove tenders tends to kind of work on um summoning
14:43
summons yeah it was all through summoning yeah and then the GRE have to kind of evolve them which is quite a really cool mechanic so they if you near
14:50
a source well which is where you build your spires and it's empty you can basically Park a a minion on there and
14:57
then he kind of goes to sleep for a bit for a few turns and he pops out stronger and and off he goes kind of hibernates
15:03
and evolves it's it's quite cool and thematic so quite cool so I really enjoyed it and we're going to get another game in uh literally after
15:10
Christmas yeah after Christmas four player this time yeah four player but it is Friday and Marcus is joining us yeah
15:15
it's Friday this time Friday so I said we'll do it Friday then I don't care if it's late and Marcus is going to join
15:21
the frey quite surprised you found four people to play it to be honest yeah finally we're happy it's it's a great
15:27
game it's fantastic it's so much fun yeah I forgot how much I enjoyed it yeah
15:32
it's just really good and we'll kind of look at Taz going I hope he likes it
15:37
because if he doesn't like it it's just me and Davey and which is fine we could play two-player In fairness but uh yeah
15:44
I I just really love that game and I have thought about selling it multiple
15:49
times mainly because no one wants to play it and no one wants to play with me
15:56
but I've kept it and I'm glad cuz then the game found last final expansion came out not long back which of course I've
16:03
backed with its Cloud box you've backed an expansion yes no way oh my god um but
16:10
it comes in a trove chest style box of course it does and uh it's not as big
16:15
but it's still cool and it comes with three more factions and I thought well go on then does it take up the whole of
16:22
one collax no Gap it doesn't but the Miniatures box is an addition to it it
16:30
do so it takes two so yes then probably one and three qus i' say if we're going
16:36
to get specific but no that that's my um my game um loved it and then Christmas wise we got Christmas at home this year
16:43
and with the family I'm looking forward to that and yeah basically lots of games
16:49
I I like to play lots of games at Christmas I like to inflict that that fun on on everybody I can find and they
16:55
can't say no at Christmas no one can say no at Christmas about any think it's a great day it's a great day you're in
17:02
trouble there yeah so oh no he's going to make me play Twilight
17:07

17:13
fall um for our Christmas game every year I get a game for Christmas Eve and
17:19
I wanted to actually get quacks but Rob recently bought quacks for his family we'll probably play it over Christmas so
17:25
I thought well what's close tavns and we were talking about Dave on a podcast or
17:31
general live I can't remember when we talked about it but yeah either way it kind of came to in my mind I thought why
17:37
not I'll get taverns so we're going to play a bit of taverns I might get vity culture out got a feeling to to play
17:43

19:40
answers down curly looks perplexed he looks perplexed I'm still trying to think of cycling up that game
19:47
I think I've only played it once oh I read the other one then maybe I'll maybe I'll change my answer oh I am currently
19:53
thinking of the oh I know what you mean oh yeah I know the name but hey I'm I'm

20:51
floor don't give it away David so that is the end of round one
Dan's x-mas plans & Nucluem
20:59
and uh we'll take in a little pause for some more game chat Dan hello what's been on your table or
21:07
others what has been on my table nucleum my new little Obsession I I I love it
21:13
today I place an order for all the expansions because I've fallen in love with the base game I it's great I'm a
21:20
big fan of brass have been um for a while um controversially I like brass
21:26
Lancer more than I do Birmingham um but I was attracted to nucleum
21:33
because people say oh it's a bit like a brass successor so I thought I'll give this a go JP you kindly T it to me what
21:40
a couple months ago yeah uh and I loved it then played it uh very recently and I
21:45
think it's fantastic it is like it is brass on on acid it's just mad um I it's
21:53
a decent amount of complexity enough for to make your brain burn but not not like
21:59
so that it hurts it's it's just really really good where you have um action tiles that have two actions on them and
22:06
you either play them to do both the actions or you lay it down on the board to create track and these tracks and
22:11
build up a network to build to connect to cities where you're building buildings and you're trying to flip them just like you would in brass um but
22:17
you're trying to connect them to an energy source either coal or the new founder energy source uh uranium um
22:24
hence the G nucleum um and it's just great I love playing it it's it's brilant I played two two- player session
22:29
um uh just last night and even as a two-player it scale it scales really well um really like it so I've got the
22:36
expansions coming hopefully in the next couple days to give those a Go Hopefully over Christmas they say the two players better on Australia because it's a
22:43
tighter map experience okay so yeah and I think you know when we played Australia last night didn't we we did
22:49
and yeah it it is a tighter board yeah um was nice and open yeah that's cuz we
22:55
didn't get in your way we just weird let you go with it nice for some reason anyway but yes nucleum is where it's at
23:03
it's my new favorite thing to play my newness in new hotness but new hotness is so hot it's so hot right now
23:11
handsome yes sorry um so what you doing for crimbo turn it down turn it down for
23:17
crimbo I am working lots of working he's busy don't you know I'm busy I'm always busy I'm always busy on Steam um that's
23:25
Boulders gate only Boulders gate nothing else maybe bit of arnova when I purchase it finally I can imagine him singing at
23:31
uh various pubs and gigs with his steam deck in his other hand playing Boulders go I'm just going to have a half hour 15
23:39
minutes just go go go go go um it's all about Boulders Gate 3 U for me so hopefully some Boulders Gate 3 over
23:45
Christmas but um I'm got new little expansion coming out little free one they have with multi mul yes additional
23:51
classes next year and crossplay which would be good um but I'm hoping I've got a few games planned over crimbo so I'm
23:57
hoping to play a few things over Christmas like bit of terraforming Mar perhaps yeah might be with you two guys
24:05
hooking up over Christmas um I'm playing tapestry as well um not too close to Christmas um and um I'm going up to see
24:12
my brother up north after Christmas and I'm sure that games will be played then
24:18
I'm expecting a bit of worms ban I think cuz he wants to play worms ban so not played that for a while now so I think that's probably going to end up coming
24:24
out nice nice sounds good that's Christmasy it's all festive it's all
24:29
good isn't it it's all good should we do round two then so we see what round two is all about let's get back to Paul to
ROUND 2 - Questions 1-5
24:36
see what round two is all about round two is the odd one out in which of the following groups of three one of them is
24:43
not like the others can you guess which one question one which of these games is
24:49
not in the BGG top 100 list Canan EV the
24:54
gallerist or vgos oh my God is not nice which is not
25:01
in the top 100 civi the gallerist or vineos oh my I think I know it and I
25:09
don't agree with it I shouldn't say that but I might be
25:16
wrong I've got one in three chance yeah I've got a better chance at this one I think yeah yeah it was all of them 33%
25:23
chance of success oh God I generally don't know
25:29
I'm I'm going to go that one I'm enjoying this round already yeah this is this is because we got one of the
25:35
answers already yeah perhaps question two which of these
25:41
games did not win the Spiel dejaras code names so Clover or just
25:55
one question three which of these games is not part of the Stefan Feld City
26:00
collection Hamburg Florence OR Amsterdam one that one I do know yeah
26:07
likewise no guessing but I'm guessing I think you bundled two together on a Kickstarter I think which game isn't
26:15
named after a city that's most of them most Euro games
26:20
isn't it mhm question four which of these Tea Games was not published by
26:25
bord and dice zlin taboni or teenu I
26:31
don't actually know it's tough [Music] one question five which of these themes
26:37
has the designer of wingspan Elizabeth Hargrave not made a game about mushrooms
26:43
flowers or butterflies I'm going to put the least interesting
26:49
one well that would depend on your on your definition of Interest yeah it
26:54
would yeah well there we go that's that's five questions in nice a little break um Trixie so curly you're up

of fun with JP Dan and friend of the PO Jack um yeah thoroughly enjoyed it um
27:19
actually only took about five hours in the end because it's only a four player four player I think is the best player count for TI um and I played with a
27:26
faction called Emirates of a can which with in ages space Lions space lions and
27:32
then JP was space turtles yeah the cha Kingdom or whatever they're called can't
27:38
pronounce the X and C's and H's but yeah that was me first time I played those
27:43
yeah how do you find them I love the space turtles because for once I could just be a turtle and I mean in game play
27:51
and role play yeah so did you pull your your jumper up to your I didn't I missed the trick there didn't I but I I put on
27:57
a voice and it was kind of like hello I'm space turtle and I wish want to do trade and stuff like that and they're
28:03
really effective at it aren't they yeah they're great it was is a really good I really love that faction I'd love to play them again and uh their political
28:10
power in that game is awesome when you unlock their hero ability which is just like oh this is amazing and it's just
28:17
really fun and it's nice not to be a warry git for a change yeah get this and
28:22
and lots of people will disapprove if they hear it we got an entire game without a single fight the dice gathered
28:29
dust we did not get a single fire what Cold War we had a it was cold war throughout the whole game there was lots
28:36
of bitching yeah yeah I bet JP got very upset with Dan at one point there was a moment that I can only describe as
28:43
Dracula and Renfield right so if you know that the relationship between Dracula and Renfield one is a superior
28:49
you know being of power and uh whatever and and then you got Renfield who's like
28:54
hanging on Dracula's coattails eating cockroaches go yes Yes master and uh that's basically Dan
29:01
hello and so let me set the scene those that know TI will know what I'm talking about if you don't apologize but just
29:07
use your imaginations so there's this unit in the game called Warson right Warson are um the most powerful unit in
29:14
the game they look like uh well we only got two of them out like a a pair of something a a little B balls they were
29:22
go BBL they look like little death stars and curlyy did his usual usual get
29:28
Warson out quick that's us the Emirates of foram when you unlock their main ability they can produce for free once
29:34
per game yeah so in one turn I brought out um three what are they called again
29:40
uh dreadnots dreadnots three dreadnots and two Wars Suns that was quite satisfying like so he had them and then
29:48
suddenly when those flopped out on the the board everyone else is like oh here we go like you know that's where the cold war starts because you just think
29:54
oh the power is now shifted over to that side of the board and then we went to the agenda phase and quite weirdly we
30:01
had an agenda that says get rid of War Suns but not get rid of it you you basically give everyone the technology
30:07
of Wars but they all lose sustained power sustained damage which means they're one hit done um and we was like
30:14
but there's just one way this is going to go right yeah you take it everyone's benefit to have Warson when we don't
30:20
have them and just weaken them a little bit you didn't take it down did you so Jack was like I'm so confident in this
30:26
and he put a rider on saying well we going to go for that right in the meantime Dan's sitting there very quiet
30:32
and Dan was a speaker so we voted last so curle was like naturally I don't want this to happen went all in and I was
30:38
like I do want this to happen went all in had quite a big big sway of votes obviously Jack couldn't vote he went to
30:44
Dan and was like come on danad just take it home son take it home and he's and then suddenly Cur started opening his
30:49
little mouth and go no well what would it take Dan what would it take if if you had went and and sided with me what
30:56
would you want would you what would you let oh Master oh what I do whatever you want and and you basically were a little
31:02
I actually sound like that as well that's the thing you were I was so angry with you in the in the spirit of the
31:08
game I went I went against um and I I decided not to bring out them wall Stones what did Curly give you in return
31:14
I Rel got VP in the end of it Relic support for the throne yes no no it was
31:20
a VP it was a relic that gave him a VP which he didn't know I was like it is not worth a relic and then it kind of
31:26
made it worth it cuz it gave you VP it kind of may be worth yeah but still and it basically we're shouting for 20
31:33
minutes yeah the game basically grinded to a complete stop I I believe that the sun went down during that during that
31:40
time um and I'm not talking about the war Sun I was going to say that's what they call that did not go down that
31:45
didn't go down and yeah so that that was it you were known as Renfield for the rest of the game but I enjoyed it you
31:51
know what I enjoyed him who won me curly yeah exactly and Ren and and Renford
31:56
came second [Applause] cuz second doesn't matter in TI to be to
32:01
be fair me and Dan went into the final round seven points each so it could have gone either way I already had a victory
32:07
in sight but you would have been had to have been pretty inactive in order for me to pull it off yeah I had it there I
32:14
knew exactly what to do and what to get it but it would if it did go that round I reckon it would have kicked off yes it
32:20
would have kicked right off I had no choice I would have had to have attacked it was the precipice of War like you could feel it like it's going to go it's
32:27
going to go has been building all game all game like Jack was the titans of all so he he just basically built his his
32:34
slice and went you're not getting in CU that's what the tit you're not get and he he had everything he had all the
32:40
plastic pretty much on the board and I allied with him early thinking I don't want to deal with that and and he he
32:46
didn't know what I was like as a player but I was the space turtles so naturally I'm like peace yeah so um yeah so it
32:52
kind of worked so JP's allowed to Ally but I'm not allowed to Al did I say that I didn't say that that's what it is no I
32:59
said he just made the wrong decision me and were just good allies to each other don't worry Master he was so good he
33:04
made you win we sorted it we saw it so yeah but it was funny it we got a lot of
33:10
ban at the table and that's what the game does yeah doesn't it the game brings banter and it brings stab and
33:17
politics I don't want to wait so long to play it again yeah I think March like Easter time maybe yeah it's normally a
33:22
two game a year isn't it that you tend one or two yeah one or two I'm up for I
33:28
think the four player though the four player makes it more accessible so you could play it more times in the year
33:33
like yeah that five hour game five hours yeah I'd like to do a repeat to go we play Cloud
33:39
longer yeah it we play Cloud Spire longer than five hours nearly yeah I suppose for those of you who've played
33:46
the game but have never bothered to play cuz you would naturally play it 6 to8 right yeah so for those of you who
33:51
haven't played it before at four what it does is not only shorten it down to a reasonable time if that interests you
33:58
additionally it means you can take two strategy cards rather than one which just really makes it so much more um I
34:04
don't know like a little just feels more satisfying for me um having two strategy cards every time I think it makes
34:11
certain factions proc better because yours the hakan and mine yours fuel off
34:16
trade card and mine fuels off diplomacy so if that strategy card isn't picked
34:23
and for whatever reason maybe I didn't pick it and it's not in play Then you kind not nerfed but it's like your power
34:29
you can't use it yeah for so you're either always going to have to try and pick that card which kind of limits you a little bit but in a four play that
34:36
card's always going to go somewhere yeah which is good to know you know but I'd be up for playing a six player again as
34:42
long as everyone around the table knew how to play it and everyone kind of had the remit to go look we need to keep the
34:47
game flowing don't let it stop but the game will naturally stop anyway if a big battle big space battle will take take
34:54
effect and the rest of the players are like well what should we do should we you know get coffee you know that's what's going to happen but um I'll be up
35:00
for a four player game yeah I I like the whole two strategy card process I think that's great but a six player I wouldn't
35:06
I wouldn't mind either eight player no too many it's too long yeah and it hurts
35:11
my head that that I would I went away going I really enjoyed that but normally want to play a six or seven or eight
35:17
player game of TI I'm drained that tired very tired and drained you just want it to be over at some point I assumed that
35:24
you'd still be playing when I got home cuz I'd been to London for the day with some friends and um I got on the train
35:29
said oh yeah they'll still be playing and then when I got back home everyone had gone I was like bloody hell thought you'd played TI and he's like yeah we
35:35
did but it was done can't believe it I said to Vicki I'm on my way home like what yeah like he didn't think I was
35:40
going to get home to about 10: it's great it was great good game th enjoyed it yeah me too Christmas then
35:47
what's Christmas Curly's I'm probably you're probably going to rob Beck's uh Christmas thing unless she's got

ROUND 2 - Questions 6-10

37:18
games companies will just bring it out so it's not an easy one no especially kickstarters just what do you want a big
37:24
box you want a big box the game's trash but you want a big box more of it that's just more
37:30

39:21

39:40
in a minute question 10 which of these games did not have art and graphic design by iano Tool Autobarn Iberian
39:49

ding ding ding that is is Becky singing and Davey on the
40:02
backing bongs backing quiet you done yeah right that's
40:08
round two done guys we so now time for another little break so uh Becky let's
Becky's x-mas plans & Ark Nova Digital & Obsession
40:13
go to you what's hit your table well um I haven't really played
40:20
many other games apart from the ones I always play so I'm not going to say the name of it what is it what is it it is
40:26
arnov and it came out on Steam so I eventually managed to download on Steam even though steam was being a pain in
40:32
the ass for a start but got through that that was fine so I've been playing a bit of that but what I'm actually really interested to play is Obsession so I'm
40:41
going to try and watch a how-to video and then play it on BGA I've forgotten
40:46
what this game is it's a what is it Pride and Prejudice Pride and Prejudice but oh yes yes don't I know but it's
40:51
like Victorian I believe so no I haven't but I'm going to watch a video and then play on PGA to see if you can learn a
40:59
game on PGA so that' be interesting nice yeah but more excitingly I this one that
41:04
goes through your families as well is that the one where it's like a Heritage thing as well there apparently there is
41:09
a solo version no not a solo version a co-op version where uh you're all ganging up against one family oh okay
41:16
yeah yeah but I I don't know I just I know I should like it so I think probably I would give it a okay yeah thematically I think it's up your street
41:22
right yeah and apparently supposed to be really good yeah I've heard a lot of people um rate it so reminds me of an
41:28
older game called Legacy The Testament of Duke to ccie which is an old um um
41:35
it's an old Portal Games game um came out like in 2011 um which is like about
41:41
family lineage when you're creating like a family tree okay um it always reminded me of that one but I've never played
41:46
Obsession but yes I know the artwork I I can visualize it now down to now in it
41:52
yeah yeah yeah but I have ordered the um expansion to strongo stronger point so
41:59
that should be here before Christmas quite excited about that I reckon that might be a game that we can play with
42:04
the family y easy yeah I reckon I reckon they'll get involved in that yeah it's
42:09
chill that yeah Curly's older brother's not really a board gamer ky's Auntie isn't really board gamer either but I
42:15
reckon we can lull them in with strong point can you answer a question yeah yes that's a really strong point no
42:22
no it's called stronger stronger point after star version yes strong point so
42:27
everybody who's a strongo fan get yourself to strongo games or just Google strongpoint games I can't think what
42:34
their website is but really really great game yeah that is good so yeah so Christmas is ours and hopefully we
42:40
playing stronger Point thing is the strong point reminds me of UK games Expo so I don't really get Christmas vibes
42:46
from it I get UK games Expo Vibes because we play it a lot there but but now it' be a great crimbo game anything
42:52
like that is it's always good for the fam isn't it yeah absolutely it's a good game playing that anything to layer on
42:58
for Christmas that Curly hasn't already covered cuz obviously it's the same thing it is the same thing yeah so it's
43:06
only the second roast dinner we've ever made first one being the Christmas dinner we made two years ago the second
43:12
you've ever made whatever yeah ever ever yeah how do you us do it we don't ROM my
43:19
parents oh you like roast dinners yeah yeah but when there's two of you you just go to a car it's course you do of

46:46
day I played the other game the other day and there was a Sandra there in the game what put it
46:52
in oh playing the game I don't think it's people playing the game DAV they said it could be anything it could be the antagonist they were the antagonist
46:58

drinks like gastan no one needs like
47:50
Gast it's a little mermaid is it the be Beast spe the oh is Bey in the Beast
47:56
yeah this specimen yes I [Laughter]
48:01
was question five duster grix and Nom oh
48:07
come on yeah okay I need to change all my answers right wait wait wait
48:16
um um hrx I'm not to dust gendr and
48:23
num um like num n n n complete guess
48:28
oh it no it's not that that's not the game I've played fuk
48:35
Cat have you played the new Euro game of fukat got it or put an answer down so
Davey's x-mas plans & Civolution & Mutant Hero Zero
48:44
there we go that's the little five questions in on round three and it's time for another little break and we're going to go to our last play of the quiz
48:51
but certainly not the least is Davey of s daviter so I played uh civilation with
48:57
Marcus and Aaron um who Aaron I think met JP playing seti at gcon yes and um
49:05
yeah Marcus invited Aaron round because he wants to give it a go so yeah we played we got two games in in an evening
49:11
we played each game in about two hours so yeah it's not bad is it no it wasn't
49:16
bad at all um so yeah I think I it's finally click with me I understand cuz
49:21
it's so sandboxy you do have to focus on those goals and sometimes you have to sacrifice
49:27
one of the scoring goals for the next one M sometimes and then you can get big points that way but you've really got to
49:34
kind of hammer down on what or what can I do in my hand that's going to give me the
49:39
most points so my last game I pretty much I had [Music] um I had rituals we basically if you
49:47
have uh three or more you get five VPS in an area and I just started spreading out and building farms and having
49:54
rituals all over the place and creating these little cultists everywhere with horns uh yeah so and I ended up winning
50:02
cuz it was just insane points that kind of stacked with the um population you got at the end but yeah really enjoyed
50:09
it that's my favorite bit of the game is the fact that you start off with quite
50:14
Bland civilization and then by the end of it you you like you've got humps and Claws
50:20
yeah beaks that you put on people and it's really weird but it's kind of cool like oh I just put a beak on someone see
50:26
what that does and then you have an ability and yeah it's just very it's very quirky that game isn't it it is quirky yeah it's fun is really fun a lot
50:34
of fun and I I enjoyed it every time before that even when I was just kind of off doing my own thing and seeing how I
50:40
was pushing buttons um I know and uh which one are you about of interest uh
50:47
are are you team buttons or you team maximum effort uh I'm probably maximum effort this SP but I will if I if I'm
50:54
playing a game that I'm just enjoying I don't mind pressing buttons it depends on the game if like terraform M when I
51:00
first played that I really didn't I didn't care if I won or not cuz it was just fun making your engine and doing
51:06
your own thing um and some games are like that but some other games I feel like you kind of shoehorn into being you
51:14
want to be efficient because well it assurers yeah I feel like if you if you're kind of just pushing buttons then
51:20
sometimes you can fall off that wagon and you just won't enjoy the game so yeah uh it depends on the game for me
51:28
no I genely intrigued I I swing both ways um
51:34
I put that in there it's going it's already in yeah yeah wink um yeah that's
51:41
what she said H and then for Christmas I'm around my brothers um we've got me and him have
51:48
been getting into kill team lately so we've been playing that a lot so we'll probably get a game of that when my rest
51:53
of my family want to go and do something else um and he's got me for my birthday which was recently um mutant Euro a year
52:02
zero which is like a little Skirmish game made by the Warhammer guys but it's all come with all of the kit already
52:08
pre-built you've got like cards that you can mutate onto your Skirmish figures and pretty much comes out of the box
52:15
ready to be a to be uh played the Miniatures come Sund dropped with uh
52:20
different color base plastic so you can easily tell so you don't even need to do anything you can just literally get the box out play nice so and it looks like a
52:28
really good Skirmish game it's got loads of good reviews so yeah looking forward to getting that to the table nice so
52:33
this is basically you going to the family going I think it's time gone sit on the sofa and have a sleep so I can
52:39
play some games like without being rude you know we'll do the family stuff but usually gets to a point where people
52:44
want to do go off and do their own thing at a certain point yeah that's what my family's always been like so they want
52:50
to go and watch the TV or something and and my brother will go all right let's go play some games now time for games
52:56
your family play games so don't they yeah they will do they will we'll probably get like a a lighter game in
53:01
probably get tavns in or I'm thinking about getting strong point because yeah
53:06

56:45
different I I think the questions were better oh oh where we
56:50
goong my round last year your your round was very special more more come next if
56:56
you want it I do I do like your uh what was it like day at work kind of yeah that was it yeah yeah so basically if
57:02
you don't know D Dam basically voice acted characters from board games as if they were like doing a job in the board
57:09
game was it was very good you put a lot of energy into that I like doing it yeah it it was good fun um but then we had on
57:17
the contrast we had questions like the way I thought it was a great one yeah that was year one that was was that year
57:22
one yeah they last year was a bit i' would say hit and miss okay
57:28
yeah and I thought I'd gone simple and I was like Jesus Christ JP I'm supposed to get that and then we had Curley do the
57:35
same and then we had Adrian do the same he thought well everyone was going really difficult with their questions so he thought screw you and he just we had
57:42
no idea it was fun but different fun come then get let's shall we shall we do
57:50

58:12
tell you for me well we'll find out we'll find out so for those who who remember the first round was all about
58:18
game mechanisms from the top uh 100 board games of board game geek so question one was all about forming a
58:24
federation so what what did everyone get gu project of course I wrote Captain's J
58:31
cuz it said Federation oh but yeah see I get it it makes sense and the answer is
58:37
guia Project you uh don't forget about when
58:43
you want to guia form the guia planet so that you can Gaia guia Mia Mia and go in
58:48
the guia guia go that made us nearly cry the def board
58:54
game event that was the best r paragraph I've ever read in my life awful there we go let's get to the next
59:00
one so this one it was attempt to coup so I think it's one of two but I'm going
59:07
to go with Twilight Struggle okay ah that makes I said Through the Ages but
59:13
it was just a pure star Santa Maria cuz I have no idea a re it's a re Revolution
59:19
yeah I had a question mark the answer is Twilight Struggle h that makes a sense that makes
59:27
a sense it was that or um Europa universales was the other one but no one's played that well I was thinking I
59:33
not I doubt that's in the BGG top so that's what made me decide yeah good Shout good shout yeah so this one was uh
59:40
question three pay two silverlings to take a TI from the central Depot castles of
59:45
burgundy yeah is that right yeah the answer is castles of burgundy guess I I
59:51
just didn't know the silverlings thing was just exactly it threw me yeah me too I what the hell I played it recently but
59:57
we didn't refer to it as like the Depo or anything like that but I was like Central you know I said brass Birmingham
1:00:04
because it had Depo in it and I thought that sounds industrial Dan look really confused and I know he would know it if
1:00:10
if it was the Galaxy no idea it's this stav dark no idea you got it wrong like me I got it wrong what did you put C I
1:00:17
know it wasn't I just couldn't the wordo is used there is a space on the action
1:00:23
board I just couldn't think what it was yeah uh silly let's go to the next one question four was overcome a guardian I
1:00:30
know this I lost ruin saana oh Lords of War Duke oh so I mean it
1:00:36
started so strong and then slowly went downhill for me yeah yeah that's the first one and probably the only one I
1:00:42
think I've got correct one out of 30 Yeah question five is to pay one Lin one hide to get a ro a Rob to see you guys r
1:00:51
two silver yeah either way some stuff to get some stuff right yeah
1:00:56
I think it's Feast Roden but I think you're right I put Concordia for some reason I I think I'm wrong but I can
1:01:02
think what it was I went Frost Haven the answer is a feast for OD yes there we go
1:01:08
rubbish yes I should know about I own it what a great game it is too it is
1:01:13
awesome it is a good game so I was waiting for a remark I'm not the biggest fan of feast Roden but I don't hate it
1:01:20
it's just it's the puzzle bit on the side I don't like yeah you loves a polyomino I do not
1:01:28
so the question six was use adrine to get one extra speed I've put hot PLO I
1:01:34
finally remember what I was trying to put down for ages and I thought it might be flam Rouge flam Rouge was the one that you that's probably what is I
1:01:40
originally wrote heat pedal to the metal it's flam Rouge isn't it no the answer is heat pedal to the metal I'm going to
1:01:47
give myself half a point for that because I'm really really struggling that's what I decided it was
1:01:53
a similar mechanism but why would you use adrenaline in a car that's what I thought that's why I thought flam you're
1:01:59
racing should be should be nitrous oxide right yeah you're racing you're trening in SL pumping and your like doesn't make
1:02:06
your car go faster there does it makes your driving skills better wow that's debatable I was way off I put xenos
1:02:13
shift I thought adrenaline was sci-fi related Nemesis so I was even further off yeah I really canot remember I was
1:02:20
correct though hop mocus there is uh a chip that adds speed technically move is
1:02:27
it within the top 100 called adrenaline yeah oh okay 100% okay but it's probably
1:02:33
not in the top 100 so yeah you got me there guys you got me there there we go so question seven was place a die on the
1:02:40
axis I put Merlin I I put to because I
1:02:45
didn't know really what to put and it's got dice in it I wrote White Castle cuz it's got dice I put Merlin it's a Rondo
1:02:52
in the middle yeah it's not any of those the answer is Sky Team
1:02:57
oh I've never played it never played it I've seen it play that's a two-player game with the Lander plane isn't it yeah
1:03:04
we played that yeah yeah Joel's got it yeah we played Joe's copy you have to co-op Co-op land the plane M Sky Team I
1:03:12
I haven't played that we have played it I I haven't played that game d we have I haven't played the game well I've played
1:03:18
it you might have played it I haven't played it you might you played it with CLE no I don't think I have definely not
1:03:26
me I've never played it it's Christmas I'm not going to argue with my
1:03:32
lovely we have to agree to disagree I swear I swear it was with you maybe it
1:03:37
wasn't okay question eight was take an earth contract I had no question on Mars
1:03:43
on Mars on Mars baby really I've I've deleted that the answer the answer is on
1:03:49
Mars did you get it yeah yeah boy yeah boy great game awful game it's
1:03:55
the greatest game it's great the worst game I've ever played outnumbered out guned and out voted I want to buy it I
1:04:02
don't really like it so we got question nine which is propose a bill I put barrage I went Hemy me too just I didn't
1:04:10
I don't remember doing that but I went hegemony I went terraforming Mars Venus I went Puerto
1:04:16
Rico the answer is hegemony y nice that makes sense godamn didn't think about it
1:04:23
yeah and then question 10 last one of the round must take all tiles of any one color from a factory display and I think
1:04:29
it has the answer is a yeah right should we
1:04:37
go do answers for round two so for round two it is which one is the odd one out
1:04:44
so which one is not in BGG top 100 is it cban EV the gallerist or
1:04:51
vgos bit of a guess I went vgos I went gallerist because I think C and Vinos are widely
1:04:59
regarded as better than they've had first editions and they've been around a lot longer so that's the reason why I
1:05:05
put gallerist I think G the answer is vineos oh is it is it I
1:05:12
got it right that's good because vgos is the worst one it's not not it's not not it's not
1:05:19
it's it's not my favorite but it's not the worst I mean saying there's a worst Lera is still saying it's a good game
1:05:27
yeah it's F it's just the one I least enjoy like which chocolate W dat you like yeah chocolate and it I love it I
1:05:32
love I love cooking chocolate question two which one did not win the Spiel as jurus code names so
1:05:40
Clover or just one I think it's code names I think it's code names but I went so Clover I think you're probably right
1:05:47
but I went a little bit like left field and went just one just because it was a weird one maybe I think that one did I
1:05:52
went so Clover I went so Clover which is right hi so Clover baby was right three and a
1:06:00
half now get over five come on you could do it do it so question three which one
1:06:06
of these is not part of the Stefan felds City collection Hamburg Florence OR
1:06:13
Amsterdam Florence yeah I went Florence I went for Florence too Florence is from
1:06:19
brain crack games and not Queen games does my guess win it's the answer
1:06:24
Florence answer they bundled the other two together as a Kickstarter campaign about two years ago
1:06:30
yeah it's a I won't say it's a sequel but it's the follow on from the trilogy of uh regusa Venice and Florence so the
1:06:38
three in that Mix B game facts I'm just hitting you with the ball game facts tonight that's
1:06:44
the first one question four which of these Tea Games was not produced by Bard
1:06:50
and dice sulin taboni or teenu
1:06:55
what do we think total guess my at first off they meant tea like Cups of Tea I think it's just I think it'sin yeah I
1:07:03
think it's the that's the oldest one I haven't played any of these I've only just heard of zulin so I'm going to say to kenu just I like the sound of it I
1:07:09
put zulin B and dice hasn't been around for very long and I think it's Salin
1:07:16
buten I went Zin and the answer is z damn it damn it doing well on this round
1:07:24
a total guess this round is like it's great yeah got one wrong so far well the multiple choice round is
1:07:30
great so question five was which game has Elizabeth Hargreaves not made a game
1:07:35
about mushrooms flowers or butterflies I said mushrooms I I also
1:07:42
went for mushies butterflies I went definitely not butter that's Mariposa
1:07:47
thanks for that did she do yes oh she did uh I put flowers but I thought cuz I
1:07:53
I know there's a few mushroom games that have been out at the moment Melia is not hers but I know that there's a couple of
1:07:58
others as well also one with the same name as that I believe as well there is a Melia flowers I also win flowers yeah
1:08:06
the answer the answer is flowers yeah I
1:08:12
thought she did tussy musy and isn't that like bouquet flowery
1:08:18
thing and I might be completely wrong on that um but hey hey there we go
1:08:26
tussy musy tussy mushy like mushrooms t u SS i m u SS I which is the reason why
1:08:33
I didn't do flowers I could be completely off base and that is a game it's a small car game and I thought it
1:08:39
was Elizabeth Hargrave uh who designed it you're wrong JP just going to accept no I want a fact
1:08:45
check do who do we appeal to if we got conflicting for Game Geek yeah tussy
1:08:52
musy was designed by Elizabeth har Greaves and is a game about flowers oh
1:08:57
we've got a bit contention so I just wind back a bit and see what the question actually said the answer to this one is going to be flowers but we
1:09:03
actually think that she has done one about flowers so we are throwing a a
1:09:09
spanner in the work can I have a half point then cuz I'm mushrooms so if basically everyone gets a point yes yeah
1:09:17
Y and let us know if we've messed up up but I I'm keep my point I need it it's
1:09:22
too late cuz we would have recorded it and released it so we can't really change the scores so it is what it is so question six which
1:09:30
one of these games has not had a big box version Vindication l granha or the
1:09:36
Great Wall bit of a guess Vindication I thought definitely got a big box version
1:09:43
absolutely massive I thought great Wall's got a massive one as well so I thought that but I also thought that
1:09:49
great wool may have released with a big box but not brought out a big box later
1:09:56
misunderstood the question I think I know that Vindication brought their big box out later but the second one I didn't know anything about so I I went
1:10:02
the great WS I thought maybe it didn't come with a big box when it first released so that's why I went great wall
1:10:07
but had a had a Kickstarter version not long back which had a big box version of
1:10:13
it I'm pretty sure which is why I eliminated that I went for Great Wall I don't think Great Wall had enough um
1:10:20
push behind it as well to Warrant a big box version true that's the reason I went for it of the Vindication one is
1:10:26
mass it's huge it's like the biggest box I've ever seen it's like 210 quid to be honest I don't know what the game is um
1:10:32
I don't know what the game is I had it I had it yeah I sold it yeah I played it a couple
1:10:38
times so I should get it then yeah it's okay what was the answer great
1:10:44
w huh yay great w oh dear which one of these games is not a five player in its
1:10:50
base version Sr Scythe or hanza Tonica
1:10:55
100% sagr IO 100% sides already has five in the base always yeah I've never heard
1:11:02
of hanza Tonica uh I have heard of it but I don't know it's play count but I know I own Sagrada and it's four because
1:11:08
it has a five player expansion that's what I thought that's exactly my thinking I think I've only played the
1:11:13
five player version so I was like well I've played that five player it mustn't be that one but yeah and the other one I
1:11:20
hadn't heard of so I put hands of Tonica it is Sr yay I didn't I didn't I wasn't
1:11:25
a big fan of the game when it first came out but it blew up and I was like I thought it was a bit like role player but just did it grow on your like SI no
1:11:33
no no no no no no no I quite like it it's not my favorite it's chill it's
1:11:38
chill it's a bit a bit vanillary for me pretty colors I'd like to do the uh the Artis ands one it's like a legacy
1:11:46
million pound though is it it's like a lot of money for crayons it it's like 80
1:11:52
quid yeah you basically color a book in yeah instead of putting dice I think you still use the dice but you just color
1:11:59
nice it's basically coloring in for 80 quid nice oh again yes okay question
1:12:04
eight which one of these is not a real game okay this bit Carnage Bunny and
1:12:10
something devil bunnies and some ham and killer bunnies and the Quest for a magic
1:12:16
carrot so I went with the ham one cuz it's the only one that doesn't make
1:12:21
sense to me so did I I think I think that's a game why why is it going for a
1:12:27
ham why not cuz it's a devil bunny devil bunny eat ham no I think if they made
1:12:33
one up it would be one a bit more obvious that's obviously made up so I think it was the third one oh I've gone
1:12:40
for Killy bu killer bunnies and the Quest for the I went Carnage all the way
1:12:45
go on then what's the answer Carnage bunnies it was such a punt like I had no
1:12:50
idea yeah I like just went for that one again it sounded too specific that one
1:12:57
for me the Carnage bunnies of K banog catastrophe
1:13:03
yeah great I got to play it though so where is this devil bunny need a ham and shall we all play it should what age is
1:13:10
it for it's weight to 4.75 I'm in I'm in I'm now in yeah I'm
1:13:18
in question nine which of these is not a trick-taking game Rebel princess shardan
1:13:23
freuder or Goblin vault has anyone played any of these games I don't know any of them no G for Goblin
1:13:31
vaults cuz cuz I did Shard and Freud yeah I went for that one as well just no
1:13:36
idea well Shard and freuder means laughing at someone else's expense so with the trick taking game I thought that might be a thing oo nice thought
1:13:42
you getting deep that was good yeah that's that's it what did you put JP I put Goblin vaults okay what is
1:13:49
it Goblin Vault are you lucky I have locked into this so bad
1:13:55
every single one that I didn't know I've just got wrong just like every guess has been wrong I think just sometimes you're
1:14:01
just good at quizzes and then sometimes you're not sometimes you're good at guessing and sometimes you're not yeah
1:14:07
sometimes you're a lucky bastard so question 10 which of these games does not have art by IO tool Autobarn Iberian
1:14:15
gauge or Carnegie now I know he's done all ride the rails ones which is Iberian
1:14:21
gauge and Irish gug and yeah he's done all them um Carnegie I thought it was
1:14:27
Carnegie and then I thought actually no I think that might have been him and then I just changed it to autoban but I
1:14:33
really not 100% certain on that I love how you did the reasoning I just wrote autoban Because was the one I wrote I
1:14:39
knew the middle one definitely right you curly yeah that didn't obviously didn't go well for me I've not played any of
1:14:45
them oh yeah I've played K actually but I I'm not very good on the art I don't give a flying to be honest
1:14:52
Christmas it's a great it's a I it's like some if if if it's good it's good but I don't really care who actually did
1:14:58
it so I don't pay attention so I put Iberian um Gage and obviously that is very wrong sorry love yeah yeah and
1:15:05
again you're not a big lover of lerta games so he pretty much does the UI for
1:15:10
most lerta games so it's like he's got a a style that you and car looks like that
1:15:16
style to me oh yeah yeah I was pretty confident that he that he did Carnegie but I wasn't sure about the other two
1:15:23
that's why I pull two behind the answer is autobar come that is a poor round for me
1:15:30
that was a stoning round did well so this round is all about the characters in games question one where is Dr Black
1:15:40
from this sounded too obvious and I doubted myself that it was so obvious
1:15:45
that I thought it can't be that one and I couldn't think what else it could be and then I picked that one anyway what
1:15:51
did you pick I'll pick cludo oh my God so I made the joke yeah yeah yeah but I
1:15:57
couldn't think of what else it could be I put tell because the only one that had anything medical but if it's going to be
1:16:04
any cludo it'll be a recent cludo maybe I don't think it'll be an old clud I think this is the game we played
1:16:09
together but I can't remember the name oh unconscious mind unconscious minds I think it might be unconscious mind that
1:16:16
makes more sense yeah the answer you'll all be annoyed it is cludo oh sh oh for
1:16:23
God's sake honestly it's clud I was like it can't be cludo I'll just put cludo down and then I made the joke yes you
1:16:29
made the joke and gave the answer away without realizing it yes but no one really realized no one really realized that everyone put something else well
1:16:34
Dan just shot me down Anyway said no yeah don't be so stupid I would like to
1:16:40
formally apologize um don't be so stupid for
1:16:46
shooting you down so I do believe that I thought you were a fool but in fact I
1:16:53
was that fool question two rogart the
1:17:00
Rascal I know this one I know this one everel
1:17:06
ever he's the evil little naughty rat he yeah I've got everel later on so that's definitely not right it's definitely not
1:17:12
yeah put it wrong both counts oh look I'm failing the name one
1:17:20
do you reckon someone's listened to the previous episodes and gone Dave surely to be on this
1:17:25
Davey a name round I like it it's good question three
1:17:32
Sandra I think I know know this it's cban isn't it I didn't have a Scooby Back
1:17:40
to Future game might have a regular 50s name in it Sandra yeah Sandra but
1:17:46
Thunder Road Thunder Road Thunder Road no Sandra I thought maybe it might be a car but then now you're saying Canan
1:17:51
maybe it was I think it's canb I think it's the lady that tells you like where you can't go yeah she's definitely the
1:17:57
boss that you have to kind of oh sorry Sandra I have been working really hard Canan the answer is cban cban EV
1:18:06
I've got one also Escape Plan escape plan or bot Factory so B Factory is
1:18:12
basically like a a lighter uh version of Cam Yeah question four the characters
1:18:18
Gustaf bedau Gaston fard and Felix Moro they
1:18:24
guess on this one I went for French games I've written luia cuz I thought that's kind of European for Mansions man
1:18:33
yeah that's a good shout that's a good sh that's a real good what' you go for Dan c c I drew a bit of
1:18:40
sushi okay but what did you put no that's all I did oh okay you drew a sushi I didn't know what I was I
1:18:46
couldn't think of anything think it's called G I put laav cuz I was thinking French things and that was the first
1:18:53
thing that was French that came to mind even though I know it's a Euro game by U Rosenberg and it probably doesn't have
1:18:58
any characters but that's what I put but the answer is the grizzled oh yeah I've
1:19:05
never heard never heard got really kind of weird kind of um interesting alternative artwork on the box right
1:19:11
okay there we go slightly grizzled yeah grizzled so question five duster gendr
1:19:18
and Nom ooh ooh o too many of something I wet my pants when I heard this too
1:19:24
many I've own too many Bon is it come on I got one I feel like someone
1:19:30
put that in for me I do they did yeah I thank you whoever did it I bet that I'm
1:19:37
betting out of the three people who who P these questions together that was Alex I might be wrong though thanks anyway I
1:19:43
got it you get an extra point for guessing that as well yeah yeah maybe yeah hope so if it's a tiebreaker
1:19:50
yes question six mayor sapper and Captain Armstead see I think a stab in
1:19:55
the dark with this one with flotilla because I remember there's lots of captains and would Mayors and stuff so
1:20:01
that was a good guess yeah maybe I went for lost ruins of arac again because I've got they've got they do yeah one is
1:20:07
the captain I think yeah yeah I don't think one's a mayor though oh I said I heard mayor as in MA Ya A as in like a
1:20:14
nice like a Latin American name oh ma it's not then I I get I total guess by
1:20:22
the way but i' guess sleeping God okay yeah probably not a bad shout either oh that is that's a good shout
1:20:28
actually I think I put Captain sonar you know what I did as well yeah then I thought there isn't a May in a submarine
1:20:35
that's thought and then I thought I'm not changing it because I can't be bothered now cruso do you want to know what it is
1:20:43
what is it how many of you have played Frost Haven no no yeah well it's in
1:20:48
there that's the answer is it frost I mean yeah it was too much and I stopped playing you've not read the narrative
1:20:54
have you you just went scenario monsters bash yeah pretty much yeah yeah it's too
1:21:01
wordy of voice yeah chances are being that the box is so large you'd have to get in the Box
1:21:07
travel down some stairs within to find the piece of paper that has those those names on yeah yeah and then by the time
1:21:13
you set the game up a month has passed question seven which game is
1:21:19
Wingnut twig pan bright gem tannin and Hickory from
1:21:25
I want to know what you put I'm Becky yeah flamecraft oh no it is as well Hickory I remember
1:21:34
hi yes Hickory never played it now I don't know the other ones I can remember but Hickory is a very unusual name is
1:21:40
one of the bread dragons I think Hickory is written on the back of the box myself I I weirdly went tainted Grail because
1:21:48
because there are some weird names for the characters I not play flamecraft and not play tained gril either so I was
1:21:53
thinking yeah could be was a little bit more Gothic thanut and Tanning yeah and
1:22:00
Hickory bright gem was probably not the the fitting I can't believe that that's
1:22:05
one of the only that's one of the only questions I could have got you could have got that oh yeah I remember Wingnut
1:22:10
yeah you're right we're all Wing nuts for get uh uh uh excuse me yeah you got
1:22:16
it what then I said we are all Wing nuts for getting it wrong question eight Jim
1:22:21
dark magic I I don't know I love it but I don't know what it is the best question
1:22:28
of the quiz for me this just tickles me in all sorts of ways I went a bit I went
1:22:33
a bit weird with it like I wonder that that cuz Jim doesn't sound very fantasy right yeah so I wonder whether it might
1:22:39
be rockard because there's some stupid names in that a it's probably wrong it's probably it's almost certainly wrong but
1:22:45
I don't know just like Jim dark magic sounds like a keyboard player yeah I I went weirdly Tris
1:22:53
magistus which which is uhon say that again trism magistus excuse you bless you thank you righto and it's what's the
1:23:00
name of it trism magistus bless you excuse you that sounds really like the word okay never mind never mind carry on
1:23:06
with this just a medical thing yeah oh it's to do with Alchemy okay and uh and
1:23:12
converting stuff into gold all that kind of stuff yeah it's a game that's actually getting revamped uh again very
1:23:20
soon but I know it's not that okay so uh I couldn't think Jim what could it be I
1:23:27
could not I went with traron and I know it's not but I went with TR I did but just maybe an expansion that I might
1:23:33
have missed there's a name on it or something that's what I I don't know any of their names I don't know any of their names the enchantress the mechanic Jim
1:23:41
dark Mas the great
1:23:47
op Jim dark it sounds like a Harry Potter character it should be we really scraped the bottom of the barrel for
1:23:53
this one didn't we guys so what is the answer you'll kick yourself I don't think anyone's you'll kick yourself go
1:23:59
one the answer is Clank Legacy Acquisitions oh I do know that he's I do
1:24:07
know that apparently part of that he is part of that we only played it once there's no way play I've played the campaign it's
1:24:13
good there you go Jim Dart magic Jim Dart magic I do remember that now yeah thought i' heard that name
1:24:20
before but I thought it was traron question nine Legacy tachon bunker and
1:24:26
The Wraith Y no I I thought I I thought seventh continent that's literally I
1:24:32
went I thought maybe something fantasy-esque couldn't think of any other Fantasy games the top of my head at the time so that's why I went South
1:24:38
Seventh continent mine was a total guess descent yeah I guess desent as well even
1:24:45
I know it's not I don't think I went Apex Legends and I thought he can't be I know ra is a character in character and
1:24:51
I couldn't remember if there's T and there's definitely not one called bunker over well I thought bunker might like be
1:24:56
a robot or something no and Jim dark
1:25:03
magic so what's the answer JP the answer is Apex no it's not it's uh Sentinels of
1:25:09
the Multiverse oh yeah which is apparently a really cracking card game
1:25:15
question 10 Crimson the dog voracious the cat noo the numbat plops or something the
1:25:22
pack and lo the pack bird no idea in my head all I was
1:25:28
listening to was loo the pack bird I thought oh maybe wingspan's got some kind of then I'm just listening back he's got a dog and a cat in it I don't
1:25:34
think it's wingspan I I thought Creature Comforts oh cuz it was a an animal game
1:25:39
that i' not played and I thought it could fit it could fit
1:25:44
yeah yeah it could fit didn't even didn't even begin to guess on this one just left I for some reason I went
1:25:50
Darwin's Journey that's cuz I think one of those some of the cards you get the start what weird names on them for the
1:25:56
for the starting cards that you get I've only played it twice so okay I went
1:26:02
Santa's Workshop cuz I wanted to be festive in my last answer you're wrong yeah yeah yeah yeah
1:26:10
