Speaker 2:Hello everybody, this is the Chasing Meeples podcast. I am your host, chris, and as always, I am with my lovely co-host.
Speaker 3:Hello, hello, it's Angie.
Speaker 2:Hey, angie, we've got another episode of the Chasing Meeples podcast for everybody to listen to.
Speaker 3:I hope it's for not just a select group of people, not just a select group of people. It is for everybody. No, wait, wait, you are not on our. I want to say the SHIT word, but you're not. Everybody can listen to this. Yes, anybody.
Speaker 2:Yes, it is for everyone, everybody, everyone, not just a select group of people. Thank you for that. But, of course, if you are not a subscriber to this podcast and you don't have notification bells on YouTube, if you listen to it on YouTube, you aren't. You know, one of the select few who know. Hey everybody, future Chris here. I just wanted to hop in here real quick. It is only one minute and 45 seconds into this episode. Things are about to go off the rails just a tad. You're going to hear us talk about some gift card promotions and some sponsorships that do not exist. These are promises that we cannot keep. You will actually hear me say that I'm going to struggle a little bit keeping this in the podcast. I've decided to keep all of this into the podcast just because it is funny and just wanted to hop in because none of this is a thing. Okay, thanks for understanding. You aren't, you know, one of the select few who know when this episode comes out.
Speaker 3:They will not be one of the people that will get entered into our monthly drawing for a $50 gift certificate for miniature market. That's just sad. That's just sad.
Speaker 2:This is new. This is a new development, Angie.
Speaker 3:It's a way to get listed.
Speaker 2:False promises. Yes, yes, that is exactly it.
Speaker 3:Well, let's see how many people miniature market can try in.
Speaker 2:They're silly. Yes, so if miniature market, if you want to sponsor us so we can actually do this giveaway, you can contact us at chasingmeeples at yahoocom and we'll start this beautiful partnership that Angie has just monthly giveaways.
Speaker 3:You know what would be awesome, though, because we get our one listener from Germany, who I won't say your name.
Speaker 2:We've actually have more than one.
Speaker 3:I know, and it's not Reiner Konitzia. It is an awesome listener on our discord and he is on the Allboard Gamer Chat. Every time we go on his live shows he is on there. So it's a. He is our non Reiner Konitzia Germany listener. So if miniature market is in fact willing to slide us a gift certificate that we can pass along to one of our subscribers, that would be really cool.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so now whole all the pressures on, all the pressures on them. You know, hey, maybe you know, maybe game nerds would be willing to do it. I don't know.
Speaker 2:Angie, I'm having a very hard time with this right now because my mind is spinning Like do I edit all this stuff out or do I keep it and actually hope that somebody who has something to do with any of these game company or these these companies actually listen to our podcast and say you know what we find value in these guys? Let's help them out. Again, if you want to contact us, chasingmeepleyahoocom.
Speaker 3:I don't know. There's always a chance we get that. One game store in Appleton.
Speaker 2:Oh boardland, yeah, yeah they do online stuff. And we drop a lot of money there and we drop a lot of money at the Nasseri and Sturgeon Bay a completely different company.
Speaker 3:They don't do online stuff. Boardland he's got a big online presence. Well, they do, but People, people shop at boardland, you online.
Speaker 2:Anyway, all right. Well, it's time for me to pop a cough drop in, all right.
Speaker 3:What flavor is it, chris? What flavor do you have over there?
Speaker 2:Vapo. Cool it's, it's menthol.
Speaker 3:Vapo Cool, that's cool. Is there any sort of like?
Speaker 2:Yeah, nostril burning menthol flavored Just what I need right now.
Speaker 3:I don't know that flavor sounds so good, how can I resist? And I get a six pack of it.
Speaker 2:And those of you who are concerned for my health. I appreciate your concern, but through the magic of recording, I have not been sick for a month. Just want to let you know we've we're recording these in a short time span, so, anyway, all right. Well, what do you got? What do I got? I'm sitting here looking at our desk and I'm seeing things that I don't know what they are Like. For some reason, we've got the tracking through history rule books sitting on the table.
Speaker 3:The tracking through history rule book is there because previously, the episode that we did, which we I changed you remember when you kept saying what is episode teach?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:It was going to have to do with teaching games. So that is one that we're going to have eventually, and so my thought was going to be tracking through history, which would be a good game to teach newbies or to even teach at a. I was thinking my brother, Jeff, can I get somebody into gaming? Maybe tracking through history would be something easy enough to teach, easy enough for them to pick up. I was even thinking a game night at church. So that is why tracking through history is sitting here. Nothing is sitting here. That okay. Well, there's Pepto abysmal here.
Speaker 3:Not for me, not for me. That was me the other day.
Speaker 2:I just have the giant aisle of vapor cool.
Speaker 3:Okay, so we are not sitting in our backers, just everybody. Now we are not in our bathroom, it is not large enough to podcast from, but it may have better acoustics.
Speaker 2:What are you talking about? Would have horrible acoustics.
Speaker 3:No, do you remember who? Okay, who is the multi international, multi platinum recording artist who recorded his first hit single in a bathroom.
Speaker 2:Well, if you're referring to the docu drama, weird Al Jankovic made according to that, yes, he did. He did record. I love Rocky Road, no my sharonah. Oh yeah, it was my balona, my balona.
Speaker 3:Hey, that is it. That is a cult classic movie If no one has ever already not seen weird. Is it weird or wired?
Speaker 2:weird. Weird, I would be called wired I don't know what to make that wired out I really thought it was wired.
Speaker 3:And so one day I think you said something and I looked at it again go, oh no, no, that's not W I W, yeah, but yeah, it's actually a. It's actually an okay movie, except when the father beats the accordion salesman to a bloody pulp. I think at first couple of times our son watched that. I kind of, you know, was letting him watch it. Yeah, one day I I'm actually paying attention to it. And here here comes the accordion salesman knocking on the door and I see that you know where. He says he's going to have a be swimming in the full of with playing his accordion and dad comes in and smashes the accordion over his head and suddenly I feel complicit in the, the destroying of that young man's dream.
Speaker 2:Yep, so I got a quiz question for you right, oh yeah. So, since we're on the topic of the, what did you call a multinational?
Speaker 3:Nice it's like multi international Cordia, I don't know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, since we're on the subject of weird Alan movies.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:What is the actual cult classic that he made in the 80s? The name of that movie? You ran a cable network. The guy who played Kramer from Steinfeld wasn't it?
Speaker 3:Oh, what was that called?
Speaker 2:I believe Julia Trifus was in it, Julia Louise, whatever her name is from Steinfeld. I can't remember the name of it U-H-F. Yeah.
Speaker 3:I didn't know the name of it. That movie was great. When you say Carl Classic, suddenly I'm thinking he wasn't in Rocky Horror Pictures, that's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 2:Yes, that is the only cult classic there is.
Speaker 3:Yes, it is, that is the only one.
Speaker 2:Did you know that that was the first actual film role that Tim Curry had? Well it wasn't a wonderful acting quality so no way, that movie was classic.
Speaker 3:Did you see it in it? Where did you see it?
Speaker 2:I never actually saw it in a theater.
Speaker 3:I saw it in a theater Very bizarre.
Speaker 2:No, that way, that was awesome. I've always wanted to go to one of those showings of it where people dress up.
Speaker 3:Yeah, everybody was throwing toast at the thing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, for sure, I mean like yeah.
Speaker 3:We got the toast. I had no idea why we brought toast.
Speaker 2:You don't understand the toast.
Speaker 3:I didn't know why we brought toast.
Speaker 2:I actually think I had a Rocky Horror for some reason In my teen years. My friends and I we were pretty into that and we watched that movie a lot. Did you know that there was a sequel to that called Shock Treatment, which I actually have on VHS somewhere?
Speaker 3:Oh really.
Speaker 2:Yes, it follows Brad and Janet after they got out of Rockies Okay, and they end up in a. They end up in like this weird television network Not as good as Rocky Horror, but still a good.
Speaker 3:That was an interesting night when I went to see that. It's like one of the first nights I was sneaking into Green Bay Bars. It was Halloween yeah, it was like Halloween weekend and they were all dressed up in costumes and they weren't very good at checking IDs.
Speaker 2:And that was probably in what the early 90s yeah, Early 90s yeah Graduated 88.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Totally different time. Totally different time. So they. But I bet you, if I go digging in one of my boxes somewhere, I will find my Rocky Horror Picture Show. Like, I don't even know what it was. It had a piece of toast in it and it had all the stuff that you wouldn't use. Oh really, when you went to my version of it I don't know how I got it oh, because I joined the Rocky Horror Picture Show fan club. I bet you I can find all that stuff too.
Speaker 3:So you have a membership number somewhere on the internet.
Speaker 2:I am somewhere.
Speaker 3:A card carrying. Member of the.
Speaker 2:Rocky Horror Picture Show fan club.
Speaker 3:You were a lonely child. You joined that.
Speaker 2:And hey, and again, this podcast is for everybody. Yes, it is. And I just scored cool points in a pocket of some listeners out there. There is some listener out there, pocket of listeners who are like Chris, come on, let's go watch a movie.
Speaker 3:Oh, things that you find out about people when you start talking nonsense. I never knew that about you. I'm looking at you different now why I look at you under the lens of red lipstick and platform shoes.
Speaker 2:Okay, you can like a movie and not dress the part.
Speaker 3:Okay, that was pretty interesting, but.
Speaker 2:I could probably. If you put that movie on, I could probably recite the word, every word, to that. Oh yeah, I could probably do the time warp and do all the dances when he said, okay, okay.
Speaker 3:What are we talking about here? What is this podcast about? It is about it's about board games. Is there a oh gosh new quiz?
Speaker 2:Is there a board game?
Speaker 3:Is there a board game about the Rocky Horror Picture Show?
Speaker 2:Well, not one that we have. Why are you looking at our shelf? Let me look around the room. Maybe we have it on our shelf and I just don't know it.
Speaker 3:The funny thing is there are no game shelves around me right now.
Speaker 2:Right behind you, Goofball.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but I was looking at the guitars. We do not have it over there at all. If there is a game and there is a publisher with a copy, they could send it to us and we will discuss it on air. I know that is something that there is some publisher out there going yep, that's what I want. I want these two bozos on air ripping apart my game.
Speaker 2:What is wrong with us? What this is? We're like what? I don't even know what the word is. Are we pandering? Pandering, is that even?
Speaker 3:a word. We can't do that, let's use you. I don't know.
Speaker 2:Everybody in this, everybody in the business space, anywhere in this, is like look at those two people over there just waving, look at us. Look at us, we're chasing meeples. Send us stuff, we'll talk about it. Send us stuff.
Speaker 3:I normally don't do that. I'm just teasing, I'm just joking, I'm like, absolutely not that person I am. I am not, no way. This is awesome.
Speaker 2:So we talked about it in our last episode. We talked about the season and dingy board games. Yes, okay, so we played that game again in the final copy last night and I really enjoy that game and, like I said in the last episode, that we had, like when we first had the prototype of the game not a theme, not a game, not a brain burner by all means, it's just a nice fun experience.
Speaker 3:And it's an experience and that's exactly what I was thinking. I was trying to describe it because it's not. I was trying to think about how I feel when I play it and I don't play it like you would most other games. You're playing for the thematic nature of it. It really is how you're writing letters to your suitors, You're trying to meet the fellas. It is. It's very thematic that way, how you're trying to get certain people to propose to you. And you've got this where you're hoping I want Lieutenant Arthur Trollbridge Trollbridge. Yeah, I was looking for him when he finally entered the game and I could narrow in on him. That's who I. You know, it was just interesting, you know, you hoping that he would get invited to the picnic so you could earn their affection, and you know it was just interesting. It is, but it's the experience, and not so much because we were doing a review of After Us, which gives you a different feeling, you know, and this game just gives you that, just a completely different.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know, and I had my sights set on Captain George Miller.
Speaker 3:Captain yep, captain Miller.
Speaker 2:It was like from from the beginning. At the very first debut ball that I was introduced to Captain George Miller, I had my eyes on that guy and I knew, I knew he would be mine someday. And in the last, like right before the last season, Yep. He married me.
Speaker 3:But you know what, you know what was interesting? That once again and I I picked those characters at random, and once again it was Leticia versus Elthea, and that was when we play the game in Nina.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's who played, and that's why we had the prototype and everything like that.
Speaker 3:And these are game cards with there, but just randomly those two faced off head to head.
Speaker 2:But I digress and we're digressing right. Like it was cool, Like I guess the whole point I'm trying to make is I'm that guy. If you have a prototype you want me to play, I'll do it because I want to help. Like it's not because I just want free stuff or cool new things and the hotness and all that I genuinely like there's. It's not even our game.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:And watching you walk in the door and me opening up the box. There was pride it was very bizarre. I had a feeling of pride for that.
Speaker 3:I don't know why, but yes, I did too. I opened that box and suddenly I was very thrilled when it came in the mail and I'm just like, look, look, this is the game. This is the game that we play, the prototype of. Look, it's fit.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 3:I did.
Speaker 2:So it's, it's a bizarre, but yeah, you know. So I'm not saying any names, but Garfield games, if you're listening. Oh, sorry, I got something in my throat. Yeah, garfield, garfield games, if you're listening. Shem, shem, ezra and Nehemiah I got, oh, I got my. Maybe I need another cough drop. I keep saying names of game company.
Speaker 3:Oh no, I don't see.
Speaker 2:Hey Nazi Chevy Chuck. Oh my God, you just fell on the floor. Are you OK? Are you OK? I'm just going to sit here and watch she's laughing. She literally fell on the floor.
Speaker 3:I lost. It was I don't know. Shem Phillips was one thing. And then Stan Kroganev came when you said Ignacy, oh my God, all the way in Poland I know he's listening All the way in Poland. You Polish guys have to stick together. Ok, forgive me, this is going to make noise. I have to.
Speaker 2:So, while Angie is getting her seat back in, I'm going to I'm actually going to mute your mic, ignacy. Yeah, she must Do. We get you. I Soup, soup, no, but you actually must I see. What do you think? How about you send us a game? Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know. Let me know when I can unmute your mic. All right, you're unmuted.
Speaker 3:OK, I'm back.
Speaker 2:That is great. You have not like fallen out of a chair in a long time.
Speaker 3:I. There's something about Ignacy that just. I just lost it when you said Ignacy. I'm not sure why. It's not that funny, Although I love saying the word Ignacy. It it's just I'm not sure why I just lost it. I have. Yeah, it's been a while since I flew out of a chair. It's been a while. I'm going to have to get a chair with arm rest, although if I fly out of one of those the whole chair comes tumbling over in the desk and stuff. So I better stay in one without arm rest.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and you know the best thing about this is you had the, the Everdell Complete Collection box, to break your, to break your fall, so I bet you your fault felt really good. It's a robust box. It's not even damaged.
Speaker 3:Whiz time, chris, are you ready? I like this one.
Speaker 2:I'm always ready, are you okay? You're not going to fall out of your seat.
Speaker 3:I don't think so.
Speaker 2:Okay, I will try not to be funny for the rest of this show.
Speaker 3:That's not hard. Okay, once again, this quiz is going to have to do with our games, have to do with our main topic, and our main topic is calling games B and C. This is going to have to do something with calling games on the list.
Speaker 2:Well, okay, something on the games.
Speaker 3:It will be related to the games.
Speaker 2:Am I allowed to look at the list of games? Absolutely.
Speaker 3:Question one what street name with the word would is not a real street name in our hometown Wildwood Court, Redwood Lane, Meadowwood Boulevard and Woodland Drive?
Speaker 2:Meadowwood Boulevard.
Speaker 3:Oh, you got that right.
Speaker 2:I used to deliver pizzas in this town.

Speaker 2:I used to run a pizza restaurant. I know the map of this town like the back of my hand.
Speaker 3:Okay, I never got about this. Let me ask you this Did they sell smoothies at that restaurant?
Speaker 2:No, they didn't.
Speaker 3:Was that restaurant a franchise? Yes. Okay, let's segue into number two, according to franchise chattercom, which is the top smoothie and juice bar franchise of 2023? Is it One Smoothie King, two, orange Julius, three, freshie or four Tropical Smoothie Cafe?

Speaker 2:As a matter of fact, I used to work. Oh, come on. I did not yeah so you know, when I used to run that restaurant that has the soft serve with the famous curl on the top and they have a cup with candy in it and it's in like a snowstorm. Ooh, so maybe they'll give $50 gift cards if you say their name. So they were actually. It's like a parent company. Yes, they were together.
Speaker 3:Okay, but did they back in the day? Did they sell Orange Julius back then?
Speaker 2:That was after my time.
Speaker 3:I thought so. I thought so Okay, so far, Four points. You're heading there. You're heading to Max points.
Speaker 2:You're getting there oh my God, oh my God. You shouldn't just say that, because now I'm gonna like I'm in my head now already. Oh, I'm in my head already. You shouldn't have said that I'm on the road to Max points. Oh, normally at this point I'm pouty.
Speaker 3:You should have had your dopamine drip.
Speaker 2:Oh, you gave it to me already. I'm dopamineing all over, okay.
Speaker 3:All right, let's go with. The next question is what is the name of the hotel in the movie Psycho?
Speaker 2:That's my question.

Speaker 2:From the 1960s, 50s, whatever. It is Alfred Hitchcock, he's the coolest dude ever. You know, I'm gonna tell you a story about Alfred Hitchcock. When I was a kid I was so afraid of that guy. It would always start off with him sitting in a chair and that boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom and he would turn yeah, he would go hello there good evening. And I was so afraid of him. And there was actually this is kind of embarrassing to say, but there was like a water spot on my parents' ceiling and they have like much like in the house that we have those stupid ceilings, that Drop down to oh the.
Speaker 2:Like we have these stupid slanted ceilings and there was like a water spot on there, like they had a leak in the roof and at night, you know when you're a kid and things like your eyes play trick with you and you see that that water spot Would turn into Alfred Hitchcock, would turn into Alfred Hitchcock and all night I would see him like turning in his chair. Good evening, I'm just like. I'm just like, oh my. God.
Speaker 3:Oh my God, this time we could see what you look like when you do that, when I do the Alfred Hitchcock. You spin and go. Good evening. Oh my gosh, that's funny. I'm thinking I did make these more difficult enough, but okay, that's okay. Hey, it's okay, you are. You are at. You are at six points. So what did I say? There's 12 points of acts Two, four, six, eight, 10. There's 14 points to this game and you're at six, so you're doing okay.
Speaker 2:I can't wait.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:And when I, after I, get max points, I'm going to ask you a question about this quiz.
Speaker 3:Okay, okay, I'm going to list.
Speaker 2:Oh no, I see it now. I see the connection. Okay, okay, I see the connection. I'm like, and how the heck is the Bates Motel related to any of these games on this list? And then I saw the bloody in. All right, figured it out.
Speaker 3:I'm going to list you four names of soapoppers and you're going to have to tell me which is the actual name of a soap.
Speaker 2:Okay, Now, I grew up watching soapoppers with my mom, so hit me. I am very confident that I got this one.
Speaker 3:The Valley of the Bold. The Bold and Busty.
Speaker 2:Oh, that would be a good one.
Speaker 3:The Bold and Beautiful, or Bold Sunshine.
Speaker 2:And I'm supposed to say which is the one.
Speaker 3:Which is the actual?
Speaker 2:What's the Bold and the Beautiful? That is one I did not watch.
Speaker 3:I thought that's the one you did watch.
Speaker 2:No, it was Days of Our Lives.
Speaker 3:I thought you watched the Bold and Beautiful. Days of Our Lives General Hospital. Okay.
Speaker 2:And I hate. I hate medical dramas like Like ER. Everybody watched ER. Okay, I never really got into it, because those shows like in house, all those they freak me out because the person goes in saying that they can't like when they stick their tongue out it goes to the left. So I'll go and look in the mirror like three times to make sure that from the start of that episode in between every commercial break my tongue I didn't catch whatever weird disease they have, like when that dude, when that dude got brain cancer On ER like the big main doctor.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:The guy who was in the revenge of the nerd. Yeah, I swear to God, I it was in my head. So bad Like that was it? Like there was that one scene where he goes and looks in the mirror and he's all sweaty and he tries to stick his tongue out and every time he's like his tongue out it come out and he, yeah.
Speaker 3:I remember that.
Speaker 2:I was like oh my God, so I swear. For like a month afterwards I was sticking my tongue out in the mirror to make sure I didn't have brain cancer. Oh my God.
Speaker 3:That's not funny. I must stop looking, but I remember that scene. There's not a lot of scenes that I really remember from them, but that one I think it's going to stick out in everybody's mind. That's so hot.
Speaker 2:Only two things I remember about ER. Is that and I think was ER the one where the helicopter crashed, or was that grades gray's anatomy? There was, like this big helicopter crash.

Speaker 3:Possibly. I didn't want to get sued by Nick Murphy. Okay, otherwise I would have picked one word and not every gardening word that I know, nick.
Speaker 2:Murphy, if you're listening to this podcast.
Speaker 3:What do you have soup?
Speaker 2:Leave us a comment. What do you have sued Angie, if I used your quiz?
Speaker 3:This game is broken. Oh my gosh. We replaced the words with Banana.
Speaker 2:Banana, banana, banana.

She asked, it's me and three people you wrote those tree words visual wedding redesums as birthdayardı, doubleforward Season ending, secret warranty products, octobreiser, actress and you know in general there are some evidences that make a viu Kind of Completely uns going from Central Brewing, coon Rock Cream Ale from Lake Louis Brewing, Spotted Cow from Nuclearis Brewing, and I did not make up these names, really names of beers in Wisconsin.
Speaker 2:I go. Is that it? I go with what I know, and I know that Spotted Cow is it the best beer on that list.
Speaker 3:Okay, you got it right. See, I think I made this too easy.
Speaker 2:I am not a big drinker, but oh, does that stuff go down so good. It is so smooth. If anybody has had a chance to come to Wisconsin and try Spotted Cow, pick it up, give it a shot and Nuclearis if you're listening chasing meeples at yahoocom is how you can connect with us.
Speaker 3:All right, this is it, chris. Last question you are at 12 out of 14 points. You've never been this close to max points before, and this is not an easy one.

Speaker 3:This one is not an easy one.
Speaker 2:Oh geez, okay, Laser focused.
Speaker 3:Okay, which creature is not from the game Campy Creatures, the base game of Campy Creatures? The Swarm Creature, the Blob, the Mummy or Frankenstein oh, whoa yeah not my, I was thinking Cryptid Cafe or Horrified. Yep Nope Campy Creature.
Speaker 2:The base, the base characters. Yeah, there's expansions.
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't think we have the expansion.
Speaker 3:We just have the base.
Speaker 2:So who is not? That's fine, I didn't see it. Who is not?
Speaker 3:And here thing is same again.
Speaker 2:That game once or twice Same again.
Speaker 3:Here it is Swarm Creature the Blob, the Mummy, the Frankenstein, max points Chris the Blob. I so wanted you to get this right. It's.
Speaker 2:Frankenstein.
Speaker 3:It's Frankenstein. I literally was cheering for you. I was literally inside cheering for you.
Speaker 2:What was my final score? Angie?
Speaker 3:12 out of 14.
Speaker 2:I'll take it no-transcript. Minor interruptions, but it was no big deal.
Speaker 3:Oh gosh, yeah, Okay, we're going to talk about things that we did. We played a couple games. We played Wingspan with our Asia Ocean expansion. We played Fox in the Forest, which we haven't played in a long time. We play Honeybuzz and we play Yeruzalum and no Dominion. This was the first time you got to play that game.
Speaker 2:I feel like we also played a couple more.
Speaker 3:I don't know, I can't remember we played the fire campfire. Oh, tinder, box Tinder.
Speaker 2:Tinder blocks.
Speaker 3:That was just a really love play in that, oh, by the campfire. Yeah, it's so cool.
Speaker 2:That was just a filler, though, so, but yes, you hit. You hit the big, the big main ones that we played. Yeah, and that was the first time I had a chance to play Yeruzalum.
Speaker 3:And what did you think?
Speaker 2:Really enjoyed it, I think without I think without knowing a lot about what the game. I mean. I knew the basics of what the game was. I watched videos about it. I understood that the point of the game was to get you know closest to Jesus during the last supper and that and the Sanhedrin track being kind of like your round marker.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So I understood the basics but I didn't realize there was like there was card playing, almost Because you have to. You know you draw your yeah, deck building, you had to draw your cards and you know you're you're playing cards.
Speaker 3:That collection. Yeah, you're playing cards to essentially build a tableau and when you match the locations, there are different locations and when you combine a specific, they're not not all of them, because some, some are the market, so they're not all locations. But yes, you're trying to come up with three different combinations that correspond to the disciples, and then you can place that one at the at the table and get some bonus points off of there. No, no, you're.
Speaker 2:I was, I was no, I was daydreaming while you're talking. I didn't listen to, I didn't hear a word you said.
Speaker 3:Oh, I love it when you do that.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 3:I love you.
Speaker 2:I love you too. I was thinking about our how I was going to edit this podcast. I'm sorry, I wandered, I mind wandered.
Speaker 3:Okay. Oh my God, edit the podcast. I haven't finished. I know that sounds like something I would do.
Speaker 2:So would you want to repeat what you said?
Speaker 3:I said that the icons on the cards that you need to collect a specific set of three of them and those you turn into a certain disciple and then you can take them, place them at the last supper and try to gain points based on where your followers are placed. So there are a lot of little things, movements going on and definitely the multiplayer. The two player and solo play different. I enjoy that game. I've only played it solo, so this is the first time I actually played the two player game. It plays very close to the solo game, but I enjoyed it. I was hoping you would enjoy it as well.
Speaker 2:And I did Good. You know, like most Euro games, when you have them, when you look at a picture of it or you see it set up on the table, they look intimidating Like oh gosh, there's going to be so many moving parts and it's going to be a brain burner game, didn't? It had that appearance to me that it would be a brain burner, but when it was all said and done, the mechanics of the game are very simple.
Speaker 3:It was smooth yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there is their strategy, for sure, and it wasn't hard to learn.
Speaker 3:I'm glad you say that.
Speaker 2:It was probably harder to put all the stickers on the pieces.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the fish are components, but I have a good game.
Speaker 2:I'm glad you decided to bring it along.
Speaker 3:Well, I knew we'd have time to finally play it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, what else did we play?
Speaker 3:Well, we played wingspan.
Speaker 2:We don't need to talk about that. We enjoy that game.
Speaker 3:We enjoy that. We haven't played Fox and the Force in a long time. We got to play that. I enjoy that. I am not a trick taking game person.
Speaker 2:I like trick taking.
Speaker 3:But I enjoy that game. That was, I think, really the first trick taking game I've ever played.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think it was, and you don't really understand the concept when we first got it.
Speaker 3:No, no, I mean, I tried playing Sheepside when I was young and I didn't understand it. But playing multiplayer I probably would get more confused. I'm OK to player, but if I was playing multiplayer there is something about your secret partner that always kind of confused me. So I could play a two player.
Speaker 2:I could never figure out how to play Sheepside, but to me Sheepside was a game that was.
Speaker 3:An old person game.
Speaker 2:No, was created at a deer camp after somebody lost a bunch of the cards and they just decided to make up game like rules.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't know. The secret partner thing always threw me off.
Speaker 2:Yeah Well, you get that in a lot of trick taking games like in spades. Do you have a partner?
Speaker 3:Yeah, but you don't know who they are. Right, I'm a partner and I know who they are.
Speaker 2:Yeah that's true. That doesn't make sense.
Speaker 3:That's it. I know my dad. Somehow we ended up partner. He's like you have to do this in vain, but I didn't know you're my partner. How do I know? I was supposed to play that card Right.
Speaker 2:Again, deer camp yeah.
Speaker 3:Say no more. Too many spotted cows Say no more.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so Box in the Forest it is. It's a unique trick taking game too. So they have what would Well they have. They have what's called a decree card, which is kind of like the Trump suit, right, and each card most of the cards have a special ability when you play them. So, for example, if you play like a one and I can't remember what the animal is, but if you play that card and lose the trick, you get to lead the like the next hand, right, and I think that that's pretty cool. That makes the game cool. We do also own Fox in the Forest duet, which is a like cooperative. Well, it's a very rare game Like.
Speaker 3:Fox in the Forest. This could be multiple. Fox in the Forest is a two player. It's a two player trick. The other, the Fox, and duet is cooperative. Yeah.
Speaker 2:The other one is not. So Fox in the Forest is not co-op. Fox in the Forest duet is co-op.
Speaker 3:In case we should have played it more. We only played it once.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we did.
Speaker 3:I don't know. There was something about the track that I didn't like. Yep, the whole going through the forest thing I didn't care for. Yeah.
Speaker 2:So and that was a nice little, nice little game to play after we got back from a long day of Was it water park go carts and sightseeing at the house on the rock.
Speaker 3:Oh, it could have been after the house on the rock. That was a long day. Yeah, that was a long day. It was like four hours of walking.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was cool.
Speaker 3:And then we played Honey Buzz.
Speaker 2:I like.
Speaker 3:Honey Buzz is a good game. It's a good Euro game. It's it's fun. I like it and who won? I think you won that one. I did yeah. Who won Winxban?
Speaker 2:I think you did.
Speaker 3:Okay, you know what I do like Honey Buzz. I think it's a fun game. It's got a cute theme on a essentially you know it's an economy game, but I enjoy. You always win that game. I think you always you'd have to look at your app. I think you've always won that game.
Speaker 2:Yeah, probably Well, I'll let you think that.
Speaker 3:I don't know Okay.
Speaker 2:So that was our vacation Well needed vacation. Those are the games that we played. As usual, we stopped at Labyrinth games, you did. We talk about it in the last episode. You did mention that the Lorcan yeah, but we didn't talk about what you found there. I don't think we did not.
Speaker 3:I did find a game that was. It was not really my grail game, but it was. It's something that I've seen, I've heard a lot about, and it was one of those games that I continuously passed up, always thinking another time I'll grab it another time. It's there, it'll always be there, and that was Grand Austria Hotel. So I am thrilled. I grabbed it and I hung onto it dearly. And then I grabbed the expansion, because expansion is supposed to be really good and that is the one way to play the solo game. You need the expansion to play the solo. So I grabbed them both and hung onto them tightly as you were questioning the guy about Lorcan.
Speaker 2:And you.
Speaker 3:What, what else did I do?
Speaker 2:Well, you bought a game.
Speaker 3:I did. I brought Grand Mastery Hotel. I just told everybody that.
Speaker 2:I'm aware of that, Brandon. I know you're listening.
Speaker 3:If you're not, you should be.
Speaker 2:I want to let you know that ISS Vanguard is still at the game store.
Speaker 3:I literally took a picture that said you're not going to get this game.
Speaker 2:Well, it was at Labyrinth Games, but I'm talking about the one in Manitouac.
Speaker 3:Oh my gosh, you went in there and passed it by, because that's where you got the Larkana deck from Wee what.
Speaker 2:Are you?
Speaker 3:hiding. Are you hiding it? Are you hiding? It for me, are you sure?
Speaker 2:I was about to say, it's still in the window, getting faded by the sun.
Speaker 3:I completely forgot about that. When you said you walked in there and bought the Larkana deck, it didn't even cross my mind until right now that that faded copy could have been in the trunk of your Jeep.
Speaker 2:You took the groceries out today. Would it be in the trunk of the Jeep? Was it in the trunk of the Jeep?
Speaker 3:It could be about a spare tire.
Speaker 2:It would not fit where the spare tire is.
Speaker 3:There's a spot. Anyone fits too big.
Speaker 2:It's a massive box. No, it would not fit where the spare tire is.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 2:All I'm trying to say is Brandon, she bought a game and we were talking about calling games, and during your life, I don't know what this episode is about is it During your live stream about calling. She's giving me grief for wanting to buy a game that I didn't buy, Because what you didn't hear coming out of her mouth versus what she was typing, we don't have room for that game. We have enough games the way it is.
Speaker 1:She comes home with a grand Austrian hotel, just saying. Just saying, I think I should go buy a game.
Speaker 3:That doesn't mean you can. It doesn't mean you get to buy a game.
Speaker 2:You're right.
Speaker 3:You're right Because of course I'm going to say you bought Larkana and you will say that's a card game, that's not a board game, that doesn't count.
Speaker 2:Oh, you know me really well. Ladies and gentlemen, we are here for. Colomania 2. The games on our shelf from B all the way through C.
Speaker 3:No, we have more C, I just cut it off.
Speaker 2:Not all the way through C, part of the way through C. If you remember, in our last call episode I said I wanted to call a game and Angie became uncapped, uncapped Steam. It was crazy. I'm going to promise that I will not purposely pick a game to call Just to get under her skin. I really just want to fly through this list. I don't think we need to analyze it unless it gets interesting. So, angie, why don't you kick off the list? The first game on our list is Backwoods, it's a call.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't want to give too much about it, but it's a call for me. It was a game I kickstarted. It was from a first time publisher. He self published it. It looked really cool. It was kind of that survivalist rubber thing. But it just didn't do it for me. So that is a call.
Speaker 3:All right, that was an easy one. Next one, the Toku.
Speaker 2:You know what I don't want to call it. I want to keep it because I actually want to play it. I have issues with that game, though. I really do. I haven't played it. I have issues with that game and maybe I'm just stupid, but I cannot figure out how to play it. There are no good videos on how to play it and the rule book is horrible, at least in my, opinion.
Speaker 3:The board is beautiful but busy. It's difficult to actually see where places are when you're supposed to even set up the board. So, yeah, there aren't a lot of really good how to play videos or even setting up and stuff. There's some play through videos, but not tutorial videos. All right, blend off.
Speaker 2:That's a call.
Speaker 3:You think so I do. It's not a bad game. I mean, it's not really much of a game, but it was kind of fun. You have to have a lot of people to play it.
Speaker 2:Blend off Thunderworks games. It's a quick little party game. The object is is you have these cards where you have to make orders, and you have to. Is it roll dice?
Speaker 3:No, you just grab the ingredients on the side of the table.
Speaker 2:Something like that. Yeah, it's a call for me. Yeah, keeper for you, I'm assuming.
Speaker 3:No, I'll call it. I don't have any passion about it, but the next one I do. Blue Moon City.
Speaker 2:It's a keeper. I enjoy it. I might take some markers to it and change the color palette.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean, that's really the only problem with it, but they're a little bit of a color palette thing, like the gray and brown, all kind of kind of blend together. The next one, the bloody in.
Speaker 2:Well, that's a keeper.
Speaker 3:You think so? Yeah, I was thinking about coloring that one.
Speaker 2:That's a keeper for me. I really enjoy that game. I actually hate that we don't play it as much. I mean, there was a point in time where we played it a lot.
Speaker 3:We did, we did play it a lot. Yep, all right. What's the next one on all this, chris? What is it?
Speaker 2:What's called the boldest.
Speaker 3:It is. What is it about?
Speaker 2:Robots.
Speaker 3:Is it a good game?
Speaker 2:I don't know, haven't played it yet. I'd like to play it. I hear good things about it.
Speaker 3:I'm thinking we should call it Okay.
Speaker 2:I'm not going to fight over it, I'm thinking dead purchase.
Speaker 3:Oh, come on, I wanted something out of this. I wanted some reaction. Oh brother, okay.
Speaker 2:Listen, it's a material thing. Oh, I'm not going to get hung up over material thing.
Speaker 3:Oh my gosh, I want to call 51st States.
Speaker 2:We are already.
Speaker 3:We are getting the ultimate edition. Why. Why? Because you don't get passionate over things, okay.
Speaker 2:All right Okay.
Speaker 3:That one's going to write that on here. Whatever, 51st States you heard it here 51st States is going away.
Speaker 2:I'm not going to play into your scheme of trying to get under skin. If you first state ultimate edition is not getting called as as subpenter. The emperor of cobra used to say this I command.
Speaker 3:Your geekness is shining through. I brought you. The next one on the list is bonfire by Stefan Fowlde.
Speaker 2:You know I went through so much to get that game for you. I don't know about you, but I was disappointed when I played it, so for me it's a call.
Speaker 3:It can go. It's not one I would fight for. I didn't enjoy my play of it, but it's nothing that I would. You know we're coming down to it. We need to thin our shelves. Yeah, if my Stefan Fowlde games, that would be one that I would fight over.
Speaker 2:That you would not fight over.
Speaker 3:If you know, one of my Fowlde games are going. That would be okay for me if that one went. So what is next your favorite game? I'm not really sure how to pronounce this one. There's one of two ways.
Speaker 2:It's botanic.
Speaker 3:It's botanic, not botnic.
Speaker 2:No, it's botanic, and that I command.
Speaker 3:Now you command.
Speaker 2:Like subpenter.
Speaker 3:So tell me about why you don't like I can't win it.
Speaker 2:I'm no good at it. The game is not a good call. I've played it before and we've actually covered it before in a podcast. I just suck at it. I'm not good at the game, Therefore, for that reason I would call it, but I know you like it.
Speaker 3:I do like it. I like it, but if you're not going to play it with me, oh, I would play it.
Speaker 2:Oh, I just wouldn't like it.
Speaker 3:That never happens with us.
Speaker 2:I win, and then that might change it. But that is a puzzle that my mind cannot crack. I just cannot figure out how to get a, how to play that game, how to be good at that game. So it's a call for me. But if it stays, it stays.
Speaker 3:You can put it in the maybe pile, I'm going to put in the maybe pile For the maybe baby Brew Keep. Oh, this one I'll call.
Speaker 2:Why.
Speaker 3:We don't play it that much. I don't know there's issues I have with it. There's something about the placement on the cards that bothers me. I don't know and I don't know if it's. There is something almost like an area control. I'm with those cards and I hate area control. Yes, so you know, when you lose you don't have a lot of spaces and you only have so many dice that suddenly there's things you want to do you want to get potions, you want to do, you know you need to get resources and suddenly you place a die on a card that you want and just take somebody else to, you know, to trump your dice Essentially, or put one extra dice there in your, your toast. I don't like that and it's not. There's like not a lot of area to fight over, so I don't like the area control aspect of it.
Speaker 2:I will concede it can go. I don't need to fight over the game. I just it would be a key for me.
Speaker 3:Brew crafters.
Speaker 2:That's a key.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I like the game Campy creatures Call. I agree.
Speaker 2:Especially since I didn't get max points.
Speaker 3:I don't even want to call it.
Speaker 2:I just want to trash it. Trash that game.
Speaker 3:Can this?
Speaker 2:you know that is kind of a tough one for me because for such a simple game it's enjoyable, but I would call I'm going to give you two reasons and not to call Okay.
Speaker 3:It is completely unique. There's nothing else like it. My second reason is it doesn't take up shelf space because it can hang on the wall.
Speaker 2:You can hang it on the wall.
Speaker 3:Okay, we'll keep it.
Speaker 2:My sister really enjoyed playing it. I, I, it's so different.
Speaker 3:There's nothing else that comes close to it. So I think it's just so interesting and we can have. I enjoy it. It's not one that you play all the time. We have the expansion for it, but it's not take up or shelf space, it's on a wall. So, kaper Europe.
Speaker 2:I wanted to like that game. I wanted to like that game so much. We saw that that was one of those games that got under my skin. We saw it on a shelf at board. Landia didn't pick it up and then we never saw it again. I don't even recall how we got it. I think we saw it at the Nosh ring. We picked up the Nosh.
Speaker 3:No, you had it ordered. You ordered it because, don't you remember, keymaster came in and it had that packing tape that literally said paper on it. Oh yeah, that's right. That was really cool.
Speaker 2:That's right. I ordered it from Keymaster, that's right. But I wanted to like that game so much but at the end of the day, I don't enjoy it as much as I wanted to Like. That makes sense.
Speaker 3:Well, that makes sense perfectly.
Speaker 2:It would be a call for me.
Speaker 3:Okay, this is a big one here.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so we have three different carcassones on this list. We do Carcassone, carcassone winter edition, in Hunters and Gathers. I don't want to call any of them because it's carcassone. I love carcassone. It's a chill game. When I think about a game, that it's snowing in Wisconsin in the middle of winter and I just want to have a cozy morning with a cup of coffee, I put on and play carcassone with Angie that's a chill game.
Speaker 2:If there were out of the three. If I had to choose one to call, I would probably call Hull Hunters and Gatherers and I would keep Winter Edition, even though it doesn't have the Gingerbread man expansion Anybody out there that holds a gingerbread? So anybody with that gingerbread? No, I'm just kidding, Chasing me okay, but I would keep all the carcassones. I'm actually looking forward to trying. I would like to try the.
Speaker 3:Carcassone, the co-op one.
Speaker 2:With the ghosts?
Speaker 3:yes, I'm glad I hear you say that, because I don't want to get rid of any of them. Okay, I think Hunters and Gatherers is different enough from the base one to justify keeping it, and Winter Edition. After I went through what I went through on eBay and paid way no, I don't know if it was way too much, because it was such it was out of print it was. I had to get it from somewhere across the pond somewhere and I actually did my first eBay bidding instead of buy. Now I actually was bidding on it. It's a very tense. I'm like at work at night raising my bid.
Speaker 2:You got the bid you got. I don't know how to put it, but I stopped doing the bidding on eBay. There were so many times where I just got it in my head I will win this and I will keep bidding and bidding. And I was just watching you do that and I was like Angie, I was over that when eBay first started, still had my dial-up modem watching like Dragon Lance books or something silly like that. That's how I got like first edition of all the Dragon Lance books. Oh boy, it was like, ooh, look at this one and it's signed. Bid, You've been open. No, I haven't. Type type, type, You're now the bidder.
Speaker 3:You're top bidder. Yes, yes, five seconds later, oh good.
Speaker 2:And it usually happens like the last 30 seconds, last minute of the auction. You just watch it and you're like oh gosh. So I felt bad that you paid so much for that game.
Speaker 3:but in the long run Actually, in retrospect, that was the much I paid for game back then. Have I paid more now?
Speaker 2:Yes, For sure you have.
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 2:But when we talk. So listeners out there, if you have not had a chance to ever check out I've named, dropped them a couple of times in this Brandon and his all aboard gamer channel, brandon, and his wife Lexi on YouTube. You should check them out. They are awesome. They're good people. We've talked about them before.
Speaker 2:On Thursday they have this live stream and there was a topic that he had about culling as well, and he said that one.
Speaker 2:It resonated with me a lot. I don't normally I've been more active lately in the chat, but normally I just listened and you were the active one, but you've been busy usually on the Thursday nights when he's been out and whatever, and that discussion really was resonating with me, so I participated. But the one thing that he said that stuck out into my mind was return on investment, and I never really thought of that when it came to buying a board game. And it's crazy because I'm telling my leadership team at work I will buy this, you know, atrial hoist system for you or I will. You know, I will try to get the funding for this, but what I need from you is your ROI Right. So if I spend the money on this atrial hoist system. What's your efficiency boost? How much more? You know? When are we going to pay the company back the money? When is the company gets money back? And when he said that in games like, okay, I never thought of it that way.
Speaker 2:So the more you play the game, the more you get a return on your investment. And Carcassonne, I think all of them, except maybe hundreds of gathers we didn't really play that in that much They've paid for themselves.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, oh yeah, time and time again, yeah.
Speaker 2:So that is my feeling on that.
Speaker 3:All right, thank you. Thank you very much.
Speaker 2:All right. Well, this was a very quick rundown of the bees through partialcy. Angie, do you want to do a quick recap?
Speaker 3:We are calling backwards, we are calling blend off, we are calling the boldest.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 3:We are calling bonfire, we're going to call botnic, we're going to call brew, we're going to call campy creatures, we will call caper Europe.
Speaker 2:And what's on our maybe list.
Speaker 3:We don't have any, we'll call botnic. That was our, maybe.
Speaker 2:Oh, you are going to call it.
Speaker 3:Call botnic yeah.
Speaker 2:Wow yeah.
Speaker 3:There's no maybes. There's no maybe baby.
Speaker 2:I'm going to give you a. I'm going to ask you one quick question. If you could keep one, would you keep botanic or acropolis?
Speaker 3:We're keeping acropolis. We're keeping acropolis. There is no doubt about it. We are keeping acropolis. We can play it without the stupid yellow variation. We could stick with the basic yellow scarring conditions. I once we start piling on a yellow variance scoring conditions. It just got to be kind of out of there.
Speaker 2:Don't I always win that game too?
Speaker 3:I think I won once the first time and I think since then you've won, but I enjoy the game.
Speaker 2:No, I don't, I was just asking. Okay, I had to give this, the crowd, something to listen to. Everybody.
Speaker 3:I had no idea you were going that way. I thought it was literally going to be. If there's one of these, you could keep. That was it. And look at my list screen. Would it be this? Would it be?
Speaker 2:Well, would you keep? Would you keep bonfire over botanic or botanic over bonfire?
Speaker 3:I would keep bonfire.
Speaker 2:Just because it's a failed game.
Speaker 3:There's more game to it, for botanic is just kind of this real little abstract game. Bonfire there's more game too. I guess I lean towards that. But we have other big games like that. For as much time as we get to pull these big ones off the shelf was it going to take a long time? It doesn't pay to have ones that are just going to sit Return on your investment. See, that's it. I feel bad when we're culling games and it took an investment to get when it was a difficult to find game and stuff like that. That I feel just like I have a hard time almost getting rid of games because of that. Sure, and on that note, that's what we call.
Speaker 3:That's what we call.
Speaker 2:All right, angie. Well, I believe, I believe that everybody has heard us. I keep wanting to say the word hander, but I guess it's more like beg, beg, beg for attention from some sort of sponsor. So if anybody feels sorry for us chasing people's at Yahoocom, reach out to us. You never know, we might have a wonderful, wonderful partnership. And if not, that's OK too. We're just going to keep doing us, we're going to keep doing our thing, and we're just having fun with it. Yeah, we're just having fun we're going to.
Speaker 2:we're going to keep getting better and sooner or later we're going to be beating sponsors off with a stick. Oh yeah, baby steps Right. First we got to get some subscribers.
