You have all known her as Tara's 19 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,560 Bad Luck Club recently. Tara, how are you? 20 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,440 I'm good.

I'm excited to see you. 22 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,040 We were talking just before the episode how it's been over a 23 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,600 year since we've seen each other in real life. 24 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,480 Too long. Yeah, we missed each other at 25 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:21,080 Gen. Con because I was an idiot and 26 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,880 only went for one day. That's. 27 00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:25,960 Honestly, brave of you. There's so much going on. 28 00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:29,080 I feel like I don't know, going for one day is like just a 29 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,200 tease. Totally it. 30 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,040 Was a definite torture. He's tortured. 31 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:33,880 Yeah. It's just. 32 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,400 It's just yeah, self-inflicted. Oh yeah. 33 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,600 Absolutely. So you had a post recently about 34 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,400 and you have to walk me through this again and remind me, but it 35 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,800 had something to do with the the trend in gaming about having 36 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,720 parallel rolling right games or flipping right games or 37 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,080 something. Yes, I have recently been 38 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,720 comparing games to their rolling right or flipping right or verb 39 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,960 and right as a company known as on our parts. 40 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,200 But yeah, there's definitely been like a trend where even 41 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,520 like older games, like well, older the Grand Austria Hotel 42 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,880 just recently came out with society. 43 00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:15,920 So just even like re implementing older games, I 44 00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:19,720 think trying to bring some life back into the game if it's been, 45 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,440 you know, kind of like off the scene for a minute. 46 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:29,000 So why don't we start with tell our listeners how long you've 47 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,600 been a gamer. What was the first game that got 48 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:36,040 you into the way I say it with people is the modern board 49 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:41,120 gaming hobby and just give us a little back, a little background 50 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:46,200 on you. Yeah, so I guess I mean, like 51 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,760 most people have been playing games my whole life, but you 52 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,760 know, Pictionary was our family game and my friends and I played 53 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,160 a lot of category and stuff like that. 54 00:02:55,640 --> 00:02:59,280 It was actually when I first moved to Austin about nine years 55 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,600 ago, a friend of mine came over and brought a Catan. 56 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,960 And I was the first time playing like the more modern game. 57 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,040 And I was like, OK, I love this. And then, you know, it became 58 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,600 the thing like, oh, we should get together more often and 59 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,320 play. And that never happens. 60 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,200 Like that whole like, yeah, yeah, see you soon, see you 61 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,960 soon. And then from there, I played 62 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,360 Ticket to Ride, which Ticket to Ride has had like a huge impact. 63 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,520 I wouldn't say that's the game that necessarily got me into 64 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,720 gaming, but that is where my friends and I started saying 65 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,720 Choo Choo to pass our turn when we were finished doing. 66 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,280 And now we use that in every game we play. 67 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,120 When we're finished our turn, we say Choo Choo to pass our turn. 68 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,320 And I've passed it on to more people since then. 69 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,400 Like I've played with like other people in different cities and 70 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,680 States and like the next time I play with them, they're still 71 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,000 saying Choo, Choo. So that's been a lot of fun. 72 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,800 But anyway, it was definitely during the pandemic when 73 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,880 everyone was kind of like getting there, like they're safe 74 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,120 groups together, like where they would be like the only people 75 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,720 that they saw. My friends and I started playing 76 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,520 then and a friend of mine brought over Dyster and 77 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:13,400 actually, and I played that and destroyed my one friend in it. 78 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,560 And I was like, OK, I love this. And after that I went to like my 79 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,000 one local game store and was like, OK, I think I'm hooked. 80 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,960 I need more. And then after that, it's been 81 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,280 like, I don't know, I don't know if it's been a downward spiral 82 00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:29,280 or upwards. I don't know if it's good or 83 00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:32,400 bad, but the amount of games I've accrued and played since 84 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:38,680 then has like, it's been a lot. So yeah, I think I usually 85 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,800 accredit dice thrown as being like the game that really 86 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:47,880 started like the full momentum. Do you prefer games with dice or 87 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,480 is that? So I do like dice. 88 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,080 Like it's definitely gotten to the point now where like, like 89 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,520 I'm a big Feld fan. Castles of Burgundy is my 90 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,720 favorite game. So yeah, I would say I do. 91 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,600 I do like games with dice, but I do like games with like that has 92 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,760 like luck mitigation too. So it's not just pure luck, 93 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,240 although I do like push your luck and stuff. 94 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,040 So it kind of depends, but I don't like games that are just 95 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,040 like usually solely luck based. I don't know, kind of depending. 96 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,440 It depends how quick they play too. 97 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,920 Like I don't like longer games that are just super lucky and 98 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,080 dice based, but yeah. What was your first your first 99 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,880 rolling right or flip and right that you? 100 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,280 Remember that I you're probably welcome to. 101 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,320 OK. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 102 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,680 Good entry. Yeah, yeah. 103 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,920 Solid entry. Well, let me ask you this. 104 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:42,800 What about Yahtzee? Oh my gosh, I actually was just 105 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,240 back home. I'm from Philly originally, and 106 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,840 I was back home last summer and my aunt was over at my momma's 107 00:05:48,840 --> 00:05:50,280 house and she brought out Yahtzee. 108 00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:52,720 And I was like, oh, can you tell me how to play? 109 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,480 And she was deeply offended. She was like, who doesn't know 110 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,200 how to play Yahtzee? And I was like, I don't know how 111 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,400 to play Yahtzee. So yeah, I just relearned that. 112 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:02,880 I haven't played it since I was a kid. 113 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,920 Yeah, same. I can assume that me and my 114 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,480 cousins or siblings were not playing it right, like we were 115 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,080 probably just rolling dice and doing whatever, but that's not 116 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,520 like I didn't know what a full house was. 117 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,520 Right, right. Yes, I haven't played that for 118 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,800 years, but one like grandparents taught us, we played, we played 119 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,040 it a lot, but we haven't got a copy our fond memories. 120 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,240 Maybe it's not as good as I remember. 121 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:29,400 No, just I don't. Know, I don't know, it's kind of 122 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,880 like Monopoly at this point. Like I work part time at my like 123 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,240 local game store and they just got in. 124 00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:39,600 I think Dragon Ball Z Yahtzee, they have Hello Kitty Yahtzee. 125 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,000 They have like anything you can think of. 126 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,480 There's a Yahtzee version. It's like Uno Uno Yahtzee 127 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,560 monopoly. I think, and I'm sure one of our 128 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,840 listeners will correct me on this, I think that Yahtzee is 129 00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:56,640 the original rolling right or the 1st rolling right. 130 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,000 I think so, yeah. I think so, yeah. 131 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,040 I mean, there are other games that are like rolling move but 132 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,880 not rolling, right? I don't think recently I think 133 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:05,560 it is. I think so. 134 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,240 I'm sure. I'm sure there's others, but 135 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,440 that's the one that internationally we do recognize 136 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:10,960 from all. Right. 137 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,800 I mean, I'm talking yeah, 30 years ago plus now. 138 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,200 Well, apparently if you go on vacation, if you go on vacation, 139 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,240 all anyone ever plays is Uno, right? 140 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,000 Seriously, I this morning, you know, I'd come into it was on 141 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,600 holiday and everyone's playing Uno and then I, one of my 142 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,640 friends birthdays today in a picture on his, his Facebook, 143 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,120 his family on holiday and what was on their table, you know, 144 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,880 but Barbie, you know that as well. 145 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,160 Oh, that's adorable, actually. Great pink but. 146 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,720 That, that's great. I have AI have a friend here in 147 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:48,320 Springfield who hates Yahtzee and he doesn't hate Roland 148 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:49,960 rights, modern Roland rights. He enjoys me. 149 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,000 He really doesn't like Yahtzee. So we have a running joke at 150 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,160 every Christmas and on his birthday we find different 151 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,280 unique versions of Yahtzee and we get it to him for his 152 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,880 birthday. He's got this massive collection 153 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,800 of a game that he hates. That's funny. 154 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,040 Unopened. Right back on, Roland writes in. 155 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,520 He'll flip out. Or flippin rights. 156 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:16,000 So welcome to was your first and do you still do you still play? 157 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,320 Welcome to. Oh, I love Welcome To so much. 158 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,000 I don't play it as much as I would like to, but I mean, I 159 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,840 think that just comes with the territory of owning so many 160 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,840 games. I do sometimes go to playing it 161 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,760 like solo on BGA if I'm just like, looking to play something. 162 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,919 I don't usually play it solo in real life though. 163 00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:37,440 But yeah, I just actually pulled out Welcome to the Moon last 164 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,960 night, restarted the campaign because I like halfway through. 165 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,800 I just reset that and just played the first game. 166 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,040 But yeah, I really do like Welcome To. 167 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,040 I have not played Welcome to Vegas, but I do like, I think 168 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:52,280 Welcome To and Welcome to the Moon. 169 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,800 I like New York perfect games. I love them so much. 170 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,760 So tell me about Welcome to the Moon. 171 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:02,000 We've been eyeballing it for some time and it's like, you 172 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,080 know what? What makes the stand apart? 173 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,400 Why should I get it? Why should I go buy a copy of my 174 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:11,200 local game store? So first of all, it is a dry 175 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,520 erase. They do sell dry erase sheets 176 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,600 for Welcome To, but it's like separate, it doesn't come with 177 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,240 it. So yeah, it's dry erase. 178 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,520 There's eight different maps, so you have like a plethora of 179 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,320 things to choose from. The campaign walks you through 180 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:32,600 how to play each of the maps, but it basically just kind of, I 181 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,360 don't know, it's just a lot more options I guess. 182 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,720 Although Welcome To does have like the different, it has the 183 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,280 different sheets that you can buy, like it has like the ice 184 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:46,040 cream truck one, it has the Halloween one, the like Easter 185 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,000 or spring one, I guess. So there are different ones that 186 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,240 you can buy, but most of them I think are out of like print. 187 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,160 So like you can find them some places. 188 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,360 They're not usually that expensive, but still it's like 189 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:56,480 you kind of have to seek them out. 190 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,360 They're like readily available. But yeah, I don't know. 191 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,720 I just think that the way they do it with Welcome to the Moon 192 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,200 is really interesting because like each map, it's uses the 193 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,400 same cards, so the same like flip cards for all of them, but 194 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,360 they're just like the way you use them is different. 195 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,000 So it's just like, I don't know, a lot of fun like in this one, 196 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,920 like having the pink one might do something bad and then this 197 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,400 one, the pink 1 might be good. So it's like it just changes 198 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,600 from to and it's all kind of like thematic to what the map is 199 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,400 doing, whether you're, you know, like in the spaceship taking 200 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,640 off, whether you're like colonizing the moon, like 201 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,080 whatever you're doing. So I just like how it changes 202 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,280 and it's like a different game with. 203 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,120 Got to say, welcome to just being written down to go and 204 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,200 play again, back to games. Haven't played for a while, 205 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,240 forgotten how good that game is. We've got all those maps and 206 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:52,040 it's yeah, that needs a revisit. We we, we played a game of that 207 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,440 through video conferencing. We did the early days. 208 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,960 Yeah, it was Katie and I, and then it was you and your wife 209 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,440 and then several other friends from Southampton. 210 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,840 It was like probably like 8 or 10 of us playing. 211 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,000 That was, that was interesting. We should do that again. 212 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:07,960 We should did. You did you just have like a 213 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,840 camera on the cards or how did you? 214 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,800 Camera down the table I think. We had, we had one looking down 215 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,240 the table and then you had your phone you were using to look 216 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,600 overhead at the cards so that we could. 217 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,600 Yeah, we had two accounts connected. 218 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,280 I think we had Instagram. It's like a like a group chat. 219 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:29,240 That's cool. Yeah, it's more challenging when 220 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,720 you have flipping rights are more difficult to do through 221 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,720 video conferencing for that very reason. 222 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,080 Yeah, because you have to see the cards. 223 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,440 Whereas rolling dice, I could just roll the dice and tell you 224 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,800 what the numbers are and and they work out. 225 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,160 So, yeah, but we got to play. Welcome to again, definitely. 226 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,920 Noted. And let me know if you guys play 227 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,840 together, I'd be down, OK? Yes, yes, maybe we could have a 228 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,720 listener listen. We could have, you know, up to 229 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:53,760 99 players. Isn't it? 230 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,280 Well, I'm getting stressed. Maybe we could stream it through 231 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,080 through the podcast. We can have a podcast special. 232 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,920 Anyway, we're going off. We're on a tangent. 233 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:07,000 A Maple to Maple rolling right of welcome to I love that 234 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,440 that's. Great Christmas special. 235 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,800 There we go. There we go, right? 236 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:15,040 There you go, right? So Choo Choo. 237 00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:18,160 Seriously, I've written down Choo Choo in capitals and it's 238 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,120 it's starting this week at games night. 239 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,120 I love that. We used to actually, we themed 240 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,480 it to like what game we were playing. 241 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,440 So if we were playing like a fighting game, we'd be like Pew, 242 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:27,960 Pew. And like, we always try to make 243 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,520 it rhyme. But it got to a point where we 244 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,600 just like, I don't know what's thematic for them. 245 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,000 So we just like Choo. Choo was just easy. 246 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,720 Yeah. Yeah, I said. 247 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,160 I feel like that's great because it lets us know, OK, I'm done 248 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:40,200 talking. Yeah, turn. 249 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,400 Yeah, it does happen when I'm, if I missed, is it is it my go? 250 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,920 No, no, no, it's not my go. But it's all quiet and I'm 251 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,400 sitting there thinking, have I missed it? 252 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,920 So PJ, we're going to talk about, I guess parallel, which 253 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,080 I've not heard it called that, but it's where there's a there's 254 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,560 a Big Brother or big sister ball game. 255 00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:03,800 And then they've made a, an equivalent in the role and 256 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,520 write. And I was trying to think where 257 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,720 there's any, any reverse, but I couldn't come up with any. 258 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:09,920 Like 2 Taurus got one. Have you? 259 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,760 And actually, but just I, I don't even know if it's in 260 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,400 Kickstarter yet, but it's coming. 261 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,840 Railroad Inc just announced that you're right. 262 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,680 Board game, yeah. It's on Kickstarter now. 263 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,560 Yes, that's the tile version of this. 264 00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:27,960 Yes, that is 1. Yes, that's the only one I have. 265 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,480 OK, yeah, no, I sat there looking, looking through the 266 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,240 collection. What surprised me is just from 267 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:38,720 my own collection, there's nine where I have like the war game 268 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:44,160 and either a card or dice game, profession and flip or write or, 269 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,640 you know, roll and write. So I've, I've picked a couple of 270 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,320 my favourites. I think Cajun, PJ, you've done 271 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:52,440 the same. I did. 272 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:53,360 Yeah. Where did? 273 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,120 Where did I have? Well, I've got, I've got just 7 274 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,320 in my collection. It's pretty good, nearly as 275 00:13:58,320 --> 00:13:59,840 many. And I just picked 1. 276 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,480 So I'm only prepared to talk about one because I want to, you 277 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,080 know, shine on Tara because this was kind of her, you know, she 278 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,480 was the inspiration for all this. 279 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:08,760 But go ahead. What you got? 280 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:10,760 Well, I was just going to say I haven't played through all of 281 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,840 mine yet or like I'm still acquiring and working through 282 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,800 them. So I'm working. 283 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,880 I don't I can't say how many I had before I started doing this 284 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,400 because I would have to like sit here and think and come through. 285 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:26,120 But sure, definitely like acquired a bunch since being 286 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,200 like and this is going to be something I think. 287 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,680 So yeah. I'm just glancing through really 288 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,680 quick. I probably have at least 20 289 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,280 versions of either both the game or one at the end. 290 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:37,840 Yeah, yeah. OK. 291 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,520 So let that's a good place to start. 292 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:46,400 So you're you're actively seeking to acquire all of these 293 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,240 parallel rolling rights? Yes. 294 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,400 I so talk to us a little bit about that. 295 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:57,680 Yeah, some of them I'm trying to borrow, but yes, yeah, basically 296 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:03,280 I I did find a list on Board Game Geek that has like, gosh, I 297 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,880 don't even know like hundreds of rolling rights and been I've 298 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:13,840 been going through that and I've been finding a lot that rolling 299 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,760 right or like they're rolling rights that were made after the 300 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,040 board games. I'm trying to think there's some 301 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,720 games I haven't even heard of, like Skyline Express was one of 302 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:23,920 them. And it's been kind of like 303 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,560 difficult to find. But I turned out Dice Hospital 304 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,000 has a rolling right version, which is funny because Dice 305 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,520 Hospital is like already a dice game. 306 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,880 But I mean, I guess that's kind of like the natural transition. 307 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:38,200 But yeah, there's like a dice game too, for a Class of the 308 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,800 Burgundy, which I was like, I love Class of the Burgundy so 309 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,560 much. I haven't played that one yet. 310 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,480 But yeah. So anyway, it's just been like 311 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,640 interesting to see like which games they've chosen to make 312 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,000 into Roman rights. I asked my wife what her 313 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,560 favorite was and that's out of out of my list. 314 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,720 Castle Burgundy, the dice game, was her number one. 315 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,120 Oh, really? So it's worth it's good What? 316 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,680 Can you tell me like what changes between them? 317 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:08,000 Like what makes it? Nothing except you. 318 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,440 It's the same. It's the same, all the same 319 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,400 rules. The dice are rolled and then 320 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,440 you'll pick in a colour and I think it's a zone. 321 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,320 So you've basically got different districts you're 322 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,920 trying to fill up, but you've got adjacencies. 323 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,440 You have to build next to your last, last square. 324 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,560 Next you filled in. Then you score points as you 325 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,040 complete a territory first. It's very similar mechanics, but 326 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,680 it was obviously it's 1015 times faster. 327 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,400 So yeah, it's really satisfying. And there's, I think there's two 328 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:44,280 boards, so the packs, there's an A side and AB side. 329 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,200 So a game, you've got two different variations on the map. 330 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,720 But if you want a quick fix of Castles of Burgundy, there's the 331 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,400 dice game and there's also the cards game, which we also own. 332 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,720 So it's very similar to, you know, it's taking the core 333 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,520 mechanics and and making it work, which I guess is what the 334 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,920 parallel thing's all about is taking right the core of the 335 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,720 game and then making it different enough that we that we 336 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,280 want to buy it right or at least play it. 337 00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:15,280 So calling back to one of your first games, Tara, which was 338 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,240 also one of mine as well, how about Catan? 339 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,680 Have you played Catan dice game? I have not. 340 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,800 It is on my list on I've almost gotten it a few times when I 341 00:17:24,839 --> 00:17:26,720 found people. I've been trying to get games 342 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,760 like second hand versus buying them new. 343 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,800 And every time I go to buy one from someone on board game Geek 344 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,640 or something, then it's like the game. 345 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,560 Like I've found the Catan rolling right for $5 and then 346 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,760 shipping is $8. So then I think I'm like, oh. 347 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,320 Yeah. So that's like the biggest thing 348 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,520 that's been holding me back. But no, I have not played it 349 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,800 yet. We we had a copy and just, I 350 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,760 think we, we didn't really, I don't know, it didn't do 351 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,760 anything new. And so we ended up selling it. 352 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,920 It was just like, well, I could play Catan. 353 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,080 So we sold it. That was a long time ago, but 354 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,240 yeah. I guess that's a test though, 355 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,240 isn't it? It's it's if the the Daiso flip 356 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,520 and write version is different enough that it stays in the 357 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,720 collection and gives you either a new experience or translates 358 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,120 well from. Yeah. 359 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,760 From the core game to the other. I mean, I guess that goes to the 360 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,640 point of like, what is the purpose of a rolling, right? 361 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:24,360 Like is it to make a new game or is it to make the original game 362 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,280 compact so you can like take it places? 363 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,760 Like does it really need to do something different always? 364 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:34,400 Or like can it just be more I? Guess I think Isle of Cats for 365 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,160 me is that so we've got Isle of Cats the the full game and we 366 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,600 have it's a flip and flip and write, isn't it Explorer it's. 367 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:44,960 Yeah, Explorer and write I think. 368 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,880 We haven't opened the big game since because Upheaval sets we 369 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,920 so we always play the flip and write version just because of 370 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,600 setup time and it's the speed to having. 371 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,000 It's the same. It is the same game. 372 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,560 It's the same fix, Yeah. To me, I think that's the first 373 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,880 game I played that was a RE implementation of the game 374 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:06,080 already played. And I got it only because my 375 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,600 local game store had like a surplus of it, so they were 376 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,160 selling it like at a discount to get rid of it. 377 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,160 And I was like, yeah, sure. And then, yeah. 378 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,720 But anyway, we played that and we were like shanked. 379 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,960 We were like, this is actually so good. 380 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,560 So yeah. So is your personal mission 381 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,960 right now that you're a project you're undertaking, is it about 382 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,360 the parallel rolling rights or is it about rolling rights in 383 00:19:30,360 --> 00:19:34,520 general for you personally? So I love like all rolling 384 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,360 rights. I'm not like opposed to playing 385 00:19:36,360 --> 00:19:38,080 them. My friend just found one 386 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,960 recently that's like a print and play one, but the name of it. 387 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,360 So like I'm not opposed to playing like any rolling right. 388 00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:49,320 But just right now, like I just, I just have been realizing how 389 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,480 many versions there were that they were like translating and 390 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,960 thought it was like interesting. You know, for some people it's a 391 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:01,280 better price point. It's like what I've noticed is 392 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,000 for like, say Lost Cities and Patchwork and stuff, it goes 393 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,000 from being a two player game to being like a six player game. 394 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,440 And like I said to you, like you can take them with you anywhere. 395 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,400 So it's like something like it becomes something that you can 396 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,600 do when you're just like hanging out with friends at a coffee 397 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:19,040 shop or a brewery or whatever. So just kind of like just. 398 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:20,560 I don't know. I just thought it was 399 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,520 interesting and some people just might want to know, like, what's 400 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:23,840 the difference? Like what am I getting into? 401 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,040 What am I losing by buying the rolling, right versus like the 402 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,600 board game? What am I gaining? 403 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:35,160 So yeah. So do you right now have a 404 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,200 favorite that you're really enjoying playing a lot? 405 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:46,240 I think like gosh, I don't know about a favorite. 406 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:51,240 We did just really enjoy patchwork and one more. 407 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,000 So it's like, well, first of all, patchwork is like my 408 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,640 favorite game you saw recently, but I am like 8 or 9 cap 409 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,280 basically don't even know. So I love Patrick like so much, 410 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,160 but I did really like the flipping right like or I guess 411 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:09,320 it's a rolling right, flipping right, but it's just kind of 412 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,560 like we pulled out colored pencils and took our time 413 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,760 playing and like had fun. My daughter like she made hers 414 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,440 like each shape. She was like, ah, this one's 415 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,160 kind of like a hot dog, I guess. So she like drew it like a hot 416 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,160 dog where I was like, I was just doing like patterns, like a 417 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,800 quilt, but it was just kind of it was just like coloring and 418 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,920 like who doesn't like coloring? So that one was just kind of 419 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:31,520 more relaxing, I guess. Another one I've been playing a 420 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,200 lot on BGA, but I also got it in person and I've played several 421 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:39,760 times in person, but kind of Tacano color, like the Taco that 422 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:44,640 they made it to. It is good. 423 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,320 The paper's kind of thin and the markers are like a little 424 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,040 strong. So it's like kind of like not 425 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,000 tearing through, but it's kind of like it's kind of a little 426 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,480 rough I think as like rolling, right? 427 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,320 Also, the markers are diced and like they just kind of roll 428 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,600 wonky. And I do like playing on Bgia 429 00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,800 lot though, and I do think the game is good. 430 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,360 It's good. I like the game. 431 00:22:06,360 --> 00:22:08,400 It's cute. It's kind of rated bad on BGG. 432 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:09,760 But honestly, I like it, like it. 433 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:11,960 It's nothing crazy thinking and heavy. 434 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,520 And I think people like, you know, that big comboy aspect of 435 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,400 rolling rights, but I don't know, I think it's nice. 436 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:21,840 Yeah. I'm trying to think of what else 437 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,200 I've been playing that I've really been enjoying. 438 00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:28,000 It's like the big the biggest one I think or the biggest 2 I 439 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,480 guess. So it's patchwork and taka no 440 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,640 colour, Taka no colour, taka no colour I guess. 441 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,040 Yeah, I don't know how to say that. 442 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,360 I'm sorry. I'm butching it. 443 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:42,360 So, so Gareth, you've you've chosen one, what's a favorite in 444 00:22:42,360 --> 00:22:45,080 your collection? So it's quite difficult. 445 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,400 I like heavier ball games. So out of out of the list I 446 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,960 picked up, I have gone for the the RE implementation or the 447 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,680 implementation of Fleet fondly now. 448 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,560 And there's then Fleet the dice game keeping it simple. 449 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,800 So we bat Fleet originally. That's a good question. 450 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:10,240 What here is that 2012 on the Kickstarter and then to Tara's 451 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:15,200 Points six years later outcomes Fleet the dice game. 452 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,200 So it's got 2 sheets, so you know, already got double the 453 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,040 complexity because you've got 2 sheets to look after. 454 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,280 But again, taking the core mechanics of your basically 455 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,960 gathering, you are launching chips, should I say? 456 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:34,440 You're using those ships to fish for different types of fish and 457 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,760 it's just combo tasket looking for ways to score points through 458 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,040 different tracks. And you've got the markets where 459 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,560 you can get extra points for like kind of set collection kind 460 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,440 of thing. It definitely scratches my itch 461 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,480 every time I play. We're looking for a YEAH medium 462 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,680 complexity roll and write. Nice. 463 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,760 Good production. Yeah, I feel like that is one 464 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,280 that's like you always see Fleet the dice game and you rarely see 465 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,400 Fleet the board game, so. Yeah, I don't think I've ever 466 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,080 seen it in the wild. Yeah, I don't think I'm either. 467 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,080 Which makes me think I should go and try playing it because it's 468 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,680 on the shelf just, but again, that may be one where the fleet 469 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,800 dust game just gives me the fix. And actually do I need to have 470 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,440 the the card version, which is your set up time? 471 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,240 You've got to lay it out. It's space hungry because 472 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:28,680 there's loads of cards on the table. 473 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,560 So it's that, you know, it's, it's a very quick 474 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:35,040 implementation. But again, Roland writes 475 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,640 different settings, often uses a filler. 476 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,080 This one we we play as a game. So it's a, you know, it's a good 477 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:45,720 half an hour, 45 minutes. But yeah, that was on my list. 478 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,680 Highly recommend it. Yeah, the expansion's worth 479 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:53,520 getting as well, and he's ranked about 583 at Ball ball game, gig 480 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,600 games, which I. Didn't know it's how high that's 481 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,120 all set. Yeah, it's pretty respectable 482 00:24:57,120 --> 00:25:00,680 game. I think it's in print now saying 483 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,040 these. Things about recommending games, 484 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,000 I think, no, I love Fate, the dice game. 485 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,360 I think that was like one of the first heavier ones that I played 486 00:25:06,360 --> 00:25:09,520 and I was like not expecting all of that from Roland, right. 487 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,760 And I was like, I'm sorry, what is this? 488 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,640 But yeah, just keeping track of the combo. 489 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:18,680 Sometimes it's like. Yeah, yeah, I'm doing stars, but 490 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,800 I haven't taken that bonus yet. And then and I think I mean of 491 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:27,840 the series, there's then three sisters, similar kind of twin 492 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,120 mechanic, Motor City and. Motor City and French Quarter. 493 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,280 French Quarter have the same design base, but yeah, I think 494 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:38,440 Fleet's my favorite still. So y'all just went down the list 495 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,760 of 25th century games, yeah? Right. 496 00:25:41,360 --> 00:25:42,480 Good stuff just killed off motor. 497 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,000 City, Yeah. But they those haven't got a, 498 00:25:46,120 --> 00:25:47,760 haven't got a no. Parallel. 499 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:49,640 So that's why they're not on my list but. 500 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,440 I do like Fleet a lot, however, I like the theme for Three 501 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,240 Sisters, so that makes me go back to Three Sisters more than 502 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,480 Fleet just because, well, I'm also vegan, so catching fish is 503 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,680 not yeah, yeah, yeah, it's like at the top of my list, but I do. 504 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,280 It is a very solid game and yeah. 505 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:10,360 Three sisters would be would be my second or we love three 506 00:26:10,360 --> 00:26:11,800 sisters. That's good. 507 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:12,800 It's a lovely. Year, absolutely. 508 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,400 Yeah, that's one of our favourites. 509 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,640 As well PJ, I mean, I've got some others I'll cover later, 510 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,480 some honourable mentions. I've already done one of those 511 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,160 which was Castle Burgundy dice game which was carries, but what 512 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:27,080 about? So the one that I chose because 513 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,360 again, I have like seven of them and you've already named like. 514 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,880 Five of them I hate to help. Yeah, you're going to get them 515 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:34,960 all. But I think even mention really 516 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,360 quickly that is the Lost Cities rolling, right? 517 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:42,800 Yeah. Now Lost Cities 1999 is when it 518 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,160 came out. Yeah. 519 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:50,080 And that's the version we have. So when when Katie and I were 520 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,320 dating, right, we were still in Graduate School, for my 521 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:59,440 birthday, she bought me my very first 2 two player games, right? 522 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,920 She she bought me Lost Cities and she bought me Caesar and 523 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,720 Cleopatra. But lost Cities. 524 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:10,000 We play that at least three times a week. 525 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,960 It hits the table right and we really love the rolling right 526 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,520 because I think you mentioned it, you can expand beyond the 527 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,360 two player. One of the Lost Cities is 528 00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:25,560 interestingly enough, the only game that we've brought to work 529 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,040 and it played during our lunch break. 530 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,240 It's not something that we do. I know a lot of gamers bring 531 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,640 games to work and play them on a lunchtime and, you know, we 532 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,480 wrestle with how do I get a game in? 533 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,360 I got like a 30 minute lunch break and 15 minutes of that is 534 00:27:39,360 --> 00:27:41,200 me eating. And then I've got a, you know, 535 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,520 it's like we don't have a lot of time for a game. 536 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,440 But Lost Cities Rolling Right is the only game we've ever brought 537 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,440 to work to play during lunch, and there's a couple other 538 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,080 gamers in our building who have come down to our office and we 539 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,400 played it and it's really great. It does a really good job of 540 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,680 capturing the theme, but does something a little bit different 541 00:28:00,120 --> 00:28:03,840 than Lost Cities does, and I really enjoy that game a lot. 542 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,000 Cosmos just knocks it out the park every time. 543 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,600 Yeah, that's, I don't know if you know too, or if you've ever 544 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,400 played the board game of Lost Cities. 545 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,320 I have not played the board game, no. 546 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:15,240 Have I? I didn't. 547 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:21,440 Know it existed and I played lost cities on BGA with Dana 548 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,160 from better mood better mood board game and well it's like 549 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:29,200 we're talking about anyway. But I after we played it on BGA 550 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,480 I was like I love this. So I went on my Facebook group 551 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,360 which we have like a super active Facebook group in Austin 552 00:28:35,360 --> 00:28:38,200 for like buying and selling board games and find a copy of 553 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,200 lost cities was like great went and got it and I was like this 554 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,480 box is huge for what this game was like. 555 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,840 Am I misremembering it? And then I opened it and it was 556 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,840 a board game and I was like, OK, even know that this is the 557 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,760 thing. So we played through it and it 558 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,440 is fun because it does make it 4 player. 559 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,720 So it does like boost the PowerPoint too, but it is like 560 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,800 super fiddly. You have these like little 561 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,480 tokens that you have to set out and then it's like the card game 562 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,560 where you play it three times. So it's like constantly 563 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,480 resetting, shuffling and like doing all that. 564 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,920 So that was the only thing I didn't really like is that it 565 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,520 just kind of was like a nuisance to set up for what the game was. 566 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,640 But yeah, I think that the rolling right really fixes that 567 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,200 where it it still gives you everything that you need, but 568 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,520 it's not as like tedious for no reason. 569 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,640 It does, and it's got six colors. 570 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:31,160 Lost City says 5 unless you get the promo which gives you the 571 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,800 6th color. So yeah, I kind of, I kind of 572 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,000 like that. Newer one because my board is 573 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,680 double sided and it has so often the colors. 574 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,080 Oh, you got the fancy. Version. 575 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,160 Sure, yeah. Yep. 576 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,040 You know, we were talking about we did AI art last week. 577 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:51,080 That's another game that didn't. The two player version of Lost 578 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,680 Cities didn't change, but the artwork upgraded. 579 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:59,280 They just, you know, so yeah, but I love Lost City. 580 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,160 So Lost Cities are all right by Cosmos. 581 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,280 That's my choice. Good choice. 582 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,360 I don't own it, I've just put it into my wish list. 583 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,120 Yep, Choo Choo. Choo Choo. 584 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,400 Yeah, I really like the Lost City's rolling right. 585 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:19,000 That's a good one. I do like I, I, I keep thinking 586 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,040 like, I wish I had different maps to play, but I don't know 587 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,920 why. Like I feel like it does it good 588 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,160 enough. Like I don't know why I feel 589 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:27,680 like I want a different map for it. 590 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:32,320 But yeah, that's a that's a solid, a solid implementation. 591 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,240 I think of the card game, another one I just did recently 592 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,720 that I thought was really good was Cascadia or not Cascadia. 593 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:41,360 Sorry. Well, sorry, I have played 594 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:42,920 Cascadia but not the run race yet. 595 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,560 I meant Cascadero, which their names are so similar so I keep 596 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,880 mixing them up. But yeah, I love Cascadero as a 597 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,680 board game, so that was one that I was really excited to play as 598 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:56,320 a role in. Yeah, you that was one. 599 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,440 I think that was your was that. Your first. 600 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,200 Post. I think so. 601 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:02,720 And that's when I reached out to you and said, hey, do you want 602 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,200 to talk about this on the podcast? 603 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,320 And was like, yeah. Yeah, I've I've not played 604 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,720 either the bait, the board game or the rolling right version of 605 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,800 it. So tell us a little bit about 606 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:20,880 that. Yeah, so it's like the board 607 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:26,080 game is just like, you know, classic like Reiner Caninsia, I 608 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:30,320 guess, where you're just kind of like tile placement except for 609 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:35,280 with little caravans and trying to make like there are some 610 00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:38,440 combos in it, which is another thing I've noticed like that, 611 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,160 you know, you play some board games which are just like they 612 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,400 feel like you're playing a rolling right with the combos 613 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,280 that you have. You know, like you do one thing 614 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,000 and it triggers like another action. 615 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,960 But that's kind of how that was. Like it just kind of made sense 616 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,360 to transfer over into a rolling right. 617 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,520 I think which also Speaking of like Milli Fiore, I don't know 618 00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:00,120 if you've played that, but that super plays like a rolling right 619 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,840 as a board game. So I have a feeling that that 620 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,240 one would be switched over to a rolling right but or flipping 621 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,280 right, I guess. But anyway, yeah, so you're just 622 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,280 building caravans. You're trying to like make long 623 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,800 chains, but it's also beneficial to kind of make short little 624 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,920 chains so you can get bonuses like right away. 625 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,960 That one does come with like 4 different maps and the rolling 626 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,360 right too. And it does like a pretty solid 627 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,600 RE implementation. I think the board game is pretty 628 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,680 interesting because like I played it first at two players 629 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,200 and we just kind of were on our own sides of the board and there 630 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:36,480 was no player connection, Which I do think can be almost the 631 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:40,800 downside of some of his games because there's not like he 632 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,720 doesn't like put things in to like make games tighter when 633 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,320 you're playing at a lower player count. 634 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,440 So it it's almost like you're playing a multiplayer solitaire 635 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,480 game even though you're playing on the same board because it 636 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,200 doesn't force player interaction. 637 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,000 But then I played it at 3 and it immediately was a lot tighter of 638 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,720 a game. So it's like, it's crazy how it 639 00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,640 just changes with the player count like that. 640 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,840 But yeah, on the rolling, right, you know, you're playing on your 641 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,640 own sheet. And there are things that like 642 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,040 if you do something like other people have to cross it off on 643 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,880 their sheet, But it's that one, like it just takes that game and 644 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,160 splits it apart into a solitaire game. 645 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,560 And I don't know, I think it does like a pretty decent job of 646 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,240 breaking down. Like I said, it kind of was 647 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,920 already like there as a board game where it did have its 648 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,880 combo, so it just kind of like easily translated into that 649 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:32,080 rolling right version. That's another one written down 650 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,040 on my list of games I didn't think I needed. 651 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,080 But it looks, it does look beautiful. 652 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:37,920 Yeah, the board game is still. Pretty. 653 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:39,640 Yeah, I can't. Like it's so cute. 654 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,440 I want so the game that I'm really interested in is High 655 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,960 Society because I love Grand Austria Hotel. 656 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,000 Huge fan, love it. Anytime it hits the table I'm 657 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:51,640 happy. I didn't know there was a 658 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,240 rolling right until you just mentioned it. 659 00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:59,360 So tell me about high society. Yeah, so high society, I 660 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:00,800 actually haven't played it in person. 661 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,240 It's kind of hard to find right now. 662 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,680 It came out and, you know, like you said, you love a grand 663 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,480 officer hotel that has like a huge following, like a huge fan 664 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,800 base. So yeah, that rolling rate sold 665 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,199 out pretty quick. Like there are copies of it on 666 00:34:13,199 --> 00:34:18,040 like BGG and stuff and people selling it but I haven't broke 667 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,840 down and bought a copy yet. But I do play it a lot on BGA, 668 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,800 so if you ever do want to play it, it is on there. 669 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:24,560 That's. The way to go? 670 00:34:25,199 --> 00:34:27,560 Yeah, exactly. That is the way to go. 671 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,280 But yeah, it's pretty interesting. 672 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,480 It's really hard to judge a game when you've only played it on 673 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,639 BGA. I think it does like a pretty 674 00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:40,639 good job, like implementing it. You know, it still has like, the 675 00:34:40,639 --> 00:34:43,440 tracks that you go up. I can't realize that the general 676 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,920 track that you go up and like, you have to get to a certain 677 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:47,840 point where you score negative points. 678 00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:52,639 And yeah, it translates like pretty well, I think, over into 679 00:34:52,639 --> 00:34:54,679 because, you know, again, there's like dice already in the 680 00:34:54,679 --> 00:34:57,040 base game. So I feel like that makes an 681 00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:58,960 easy transition into a rolling right? 682 00:34:59,960 --> 00:35:02,920 That's cool. I'm really excited about that. 683 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,200 That's I've got to find it. Yeah, it's it's been a wish 684 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:06,800 list. I've checked. 685 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,120 It's OK in the UK, it's OK stock wise. 686 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:14,680 It must be a Christmas gift. Yeah, I just bought a game from 687 00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:16,640 the UK. Actually they have The Walking 688 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,880 and Burano dice game. Oh yeah, bought it from AI, 689 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,840 couldn't find it like anywhere in the US and I bought it from a 690 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,760 board game store in the UK. I'm just. 691 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,880 That's his, that's his commitment to the 'cause you're 692 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,400 creating a small Museum of paradise. 693 00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:34,640 I love it. You'll soon have the largest 694 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,680 collection of Twins board games globally. 695 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:43,880 And yet what when you're looking at the games, how do you do you 696 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:48,240 review them or give it criteria when you're comparing the 697 00:35:48,240 --> 00:35:52,200 original to the redesign? Kind of starting to happen, but 698 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:53,880 no, not yet. Like it just couldn't be. 699 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,920 It just was like a thing that I was starting to realize, like 700 00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,960 how many versions there were. But I do think that like, I 701 00:35:59,960 --> 00:36:04,040 don't even know like what my criteria would be necessarily. 702 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:08,080 Like I think I would have to sit down and really decide like what 703 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,040 makes a rolling right, like worth it or good to me because 704 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,360 like I recently played like Legran, huh? 705 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:18,280 And I like dove all into that and got like the big deluxe box 706 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,360 that just came out. Like I hadn't played it before, 707 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,200 but I was alcohol whatever you're like this is happening 708 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,840 and I got pre-ordered it through my game store and got it. 709 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:31,040 But yeah, I just got no Siesta, their rolling right version, and 710 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,360 I haven't played it yet, but like I, you know, like that 711 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:35,560 excitement of getting a new game. 712 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,000 I took it out and I punched it and like got it ready. 713 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,040 You have to sticker all of the dice in that game. 714 00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:42,000 Yeah. Yeah, I. 715 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:43,400 Forgot. That. 716 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,440 Yeah, yeah. But one like reading the rules 717 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,080 and stuff, I noticed there's so much to it. 718 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,160 Like you have the board, you have the roof tiles, you have 719 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,480 all of that. And I'm just like it. 720 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,080 It is definitely a pared down version of Le Gran Ha by all 721 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,360 means, but it's still so much game. 722 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,880 So like, does that kind of take away the purpose of a rolling 723 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:03,520 right? Like should it be more compact 724 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:04,640 than that? Like does there need to be that 725 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,560 many moving pieces? But like, I don't know. 726 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,560 So I kind of need to figure out like. 727 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,080 Definitely worth the play. It's good, right? 728 00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,600 But you're right, it is heavier. It's we've got a copy and again, 729 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,320 I've forgotten we had it, had it downstairs. 730 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,440 So it hasn't been played for ages. 731 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,240 But I think it's that same reason it it, it, it's a little 732 00:37:20,240 --> 00:37:22,600 bit more complex. There's a lot of different 733 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:23,960 rules. Right. 734 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,680 And like fleece the dyke game, you just pull out the sheets, 735 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,000 RIP them off and start rolling dice. 736 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,360 Like there's not much to it. Like even Three Sisters has like 737 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,160 the board and everything. Like, I don't know, right. 738 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,160 Flea is just dice, right? Like there's nothing else to it, 739 00:37:37,240 --> 00:37:38,680 right? Yeah, yeah, I don't think 740 00:37:38,720 --> 00:37:40,680 there's anything else. So yeah, it kind of is like at 741 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:44,800 what point does it lose that like charm and ease of being a 742 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:48,360 rolling right, I guess. But I think these are questions 743 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,800 worth asking, though. I think that's yeah. 744 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,960 It's a bit like the it's the the either cat's piece. 745 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,960 It's there's something around how different is it to the to 746 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,120 the original? Is that good or bad? 747 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,400 Depends what you're looking for. Are you looking for the same 748 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:08,320 invitation but quicker or is it enough that it's different? 749 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:12,480 Because the other one I've got is Twilight Inscription, which 750 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:16,640 is probably the the heaviest, most complex rolling rolling 751 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:21,120 right that there is. Because it's based off it's I 752 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,880 guess giant brother of Twilight Imperium, which is sort of the 753 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,400 10 hour marathon ball game that we own. 754 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,640 We play once a year. I actually have not played 755 00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,200 Twilight Imperium, but I have played Twilight Inscription a 756 00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:38,200 few times and even that, you know, it takes like. 757 00:38:38,240 --> 00:38:39,960 It's OK, we. Play like 2 hours I think. 758 00:38:40,240 --> 00:38:42,960 Yeah, yeah. But two? 759 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,520 Two hours is better than 1010 or 13. 760 00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,600 And I hadn't played it when I got it before I'd played 761 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,320 Twilight Imperium, so I had nothing to compare. 762 00:38:52,720 --> 00:38:54,320 Yeah, now I've now I've played both. 763 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:58,720 It does do it takes the again, the core mechanics and it is, it 764 00:38:58,720 --> 00:39:01,160 is different, but taking the exploration part. 765 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,000 But that's one I have not played for well either. 766 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:05,760 PJ, that's one we may be, you know. 767 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,920 But we, we played it this year. But you're right, we haven't 768 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:10,160 played that one. So it gets. 769 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,600 That's one we should do, we should do, we should play that. 770 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,080 We should have like a we should have a face off on Instagram, 771 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,120 Tara and talking about our favorite rolling lights. 772 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:20,560 Yeah, just rolling lights as a whole. 773 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:24,160 Yeah, because because we have a lot and they are it's a it's a 774 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,520 good a good set of games that always sit at the table. 775 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,400 Yeah, yeah. Any other any other games? 776 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:36,240 Any games coming up apart from railroad tiles that you've heard 777 00:39:36,240 --> 00:39:41,680 about? I don't, I think so. 778 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,360 I'm trying to remember. I'm trying to look at my list 779 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:50,520 here. I mean, Cascadia just came out 780 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:54,440 with I think too. They had like rolling rivers. 781 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,320 And rolling hills rolling. Hills, yes. 782 00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,000 Yeah. So I've started reading the 783 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,480 rules for the rolling writes. I actually just played Cascadia 784 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:04,640 for the first time the other day. 785 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:09,000 I did borrow my friend's coffee. Yeah, but I did enjoy it. 786 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:10,920 It was good. We played it super fast, which 787 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,320 is nice. You know, it's hard to, I don't 788 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:16,920 know, like I don't know if you guys have noticed either that 789 00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:21,440 like trend where everyone like wants to play like the heaviest, 790 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,240 longest, hardest board games. And then like that point, I feel 791 00:40:24,240 --> 00:40:27,280 like you go back the other way. Like, you know what, it is nice 792 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:31,920 to just play games or play. So yeah, I'm kind of like at 793 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,040 that point now where I'm just like, I just want to play some 794 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,280 games and hang out with my friends that I don't have to be 795 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,920 like, sorry, I'm locked in. Like, you know, where we can 796 00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,000 still chat and have them. So. 797 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:47,240 But yeah, Stadium with Globe. The other one we mentioned 798 00:40:47,240 --> 00:40:49,800 earlier before we started was obviously you've got rolling 799 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:54,360 Realms from Stone Mire games, which is I think they're nearing 800 00:40:54,360 --> 00:41:02,160 50 roll and right adaptations of Realms of Ball games, which take 801 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:07,120 kind of the core essence of the game and squeeze it into the 802 00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:11,560 smallest one single card. Yeah, I'm impressed with how 803 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,120 they're able to do that. Honestly. 804 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,560 Like every time I play one, I'm just like, yeah, this makes 805 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:18,000 sense. Like, and it's crazy because 806 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,960 it's just like one small thing from the game that they take. 807 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,400 And I'm like, yeah, they really nailed like what made this game 808 00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,520 unique or like what it was about this game that stands all. 809 00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,440 That's when I teach it and I'm teaching it to gamers. 810 00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,320 I often teach that game to lots of non gamers because it's so 811 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,880 accessible. But that that's the best bit is 812 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:36,960 if they're played like Viticulture or Scythe, you're 813 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,320 like, remember that bit? Well, that's all squeezed into 814 00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,880 this one card. Yes, you never had to play 815 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:45,680 Cypher game because there's your fix of up and down action. 816 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:49,800 Is that one action? So Speaking of rolling realms, 817 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,800 Jamie Sagmeyer did come out with a realm for obsession. 818 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,160 Our favorite game that. Snuck it in again. 819 00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,000 I did segue. PJ Genius. 820 00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,000 I know, thanks. Thanks for the help there, 821 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:02,840 buddy. That's no problem. 822 00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,800 So when you when you roll the two dice in rolling realms, you 823 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,720 either use a number that's higher than your current 824 00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:13,640 reputation, which starts at 1. So whatever die you roll, you 825 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:17,760 can increase your reputation or you can use a number that's less 826 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:21,000 than or equal to to your reputation to invite a guest and 827 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,200 you mark it on the card. And that's obsession right there 828 00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:27,360 in a nutshell. So it's the reputation and the 829 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:31,280 guests. There's no, there's no servants 830 00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,600 or anything, but still, yeah, there's obsession. 831 00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:36,680 No, Yeah, I'll have. I did play that one. 832 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:38,920 I forgot that I'd played it until you started describing it 833 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,400 right there. Because we played it right after 834 00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:41,920 Gen. Con. 835 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,800 We like opened it and my friend got like every package and had a 836 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:46,320 Gen. Con. 837 00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:50,280 So we ripped them all open and organized his box, and I forgot 838 00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:51,400 that we had played the obsession one. 839 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,440 But yeah, that one was. It's pretty solid. 840 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:57,080 You're right, it doesn't absolutely like the horror of it 841 00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,360 pretty well. And, and Gareth, I don't know if 842 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,880 you realize this, but we are in the presence of royalty. 843 00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,040 Oh yes. Tell me more, Tell me more. 844 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:09,720 So if you, when we're when we're done recording, go look at your 845 00:43:09,720 --> 00:43:13,080 obsession box, pull the game out, go through the guest cards. 846 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,680 I think it's one of the prestige guests, but there's a lady Tara. 847 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:20,560 Unbelievable. Yeah, she's get my card signs. 848 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,360 Yeah. I think she's in like the the 849 00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,240 cowl. I don't even know the names of 850 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:27,920 it. The one that gives you that 851 00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,840 starts you off with reputation, which is my favorite. 852 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:32,800 Cavender. Is it the cavender? 853 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:35,520 Cavendash maybe, Yeah, that's the one that she's. 854 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,400 Right now, you say, yeah, because we always read out the 855 00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,680 names as the family members as they join or as they leave or as 856 00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:44,320 they, you know, Yep, the prestige guests are not as part 857 00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:47,520 of the etiquette of absolutely welcome to the welcome to the 858 00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:48,720 family. I guess. 859 00:43:48,720 --> 00:43:51,120 I mean, running Realms doesn't, I mean, that's, that's a series 860 00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,000 in its own right, isn't it? I mean, that is another hole. 861 00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,560 I did just see I did just get rolling realms read ups. 862 00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:01,520 I had the regular rolling realms Russian because it's still 863 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:05,200 Michelle, but we'll be leaving soon and the new one. 864 00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:11,800 But they, I did, their packs are $5 each. 865 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,200 And it's crazy when you add them to the cart and you feel like 866 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,200 you're being modest and then all of a sudden your total is $200. 867 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,760 Yeah. So I did pair that back a bit. 868 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:21,560 That was hard to whittle down, but I didn't. 869 00:44:22,720 --> 00:44:26,720 But they have a rolling Realms realm. 870 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:27,440 Yeah, they do. Yeah. 871 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:28,960 So yeah. I haven't. 872 00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:30,520 Have you played that one yet? Yeah, you have. 873 00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,080 Yeah, yeah, yeah, it it works. It does. 874 00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:36,400 I don't, I haven't played it, so can you tell me what that one 875 00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,560 does? I don't remember, isn't the one 876 00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:40,160 with the three dice PJ and you're? 877 00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:41,080 It is the. It's the three. 878 00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:44,800 Dice, you're Yeah, I could never forget you're you're filling in 879 00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:46,560 the, you're filling in the size of dice. 880 00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:47,480 Yes. Oh, that's. 881 00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:49,360 Interesting. Yeah. 882 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,200 The rest of the mechanics, I couldn't tell you now you put me 883 00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,920 on the spot. But it is meta within the meta. 884 00:44:54,240 --> 00:44:55,920 Yeah, that's really funny. Yeah. 885 00:44:56,120 --> 00:45:01,000 That's a game that Katie and I regularly, we get together with 886 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,760 Craig and Becky, get into games and misses, get into games and 887 00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:08,920 we video chat and we play rolling realms together, which 888 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,760 is how the game was designed to be played, you know? 889 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:16,440 So we do that a lot, but we don't all have the same realms 890 00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,200 because of all the add-ons. So it's like there's a lot of 891 00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:20,520 them. We just like, I've never played 892 00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:23,360 the obsession realm because Craig and Becky don't have that. 893 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,800 So it's like we can't, you know, but. 894 00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,520 Otherwise, yeah, but yeah, I mean, I, I mean, there are a lot 895 00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,520 of realms and I'd hate a lot of us now going because I think 896 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,280 we've I'd missed the ones from last month that they're on their 897 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,640 way currently. But the box, the red ox box is 898 00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:41,400 full. I mean, there's no space left so 899 00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,400 you have to re jig the box already. 900 00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:45,280 But I think that's it. After this, I think there's only 901 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,720 a few more and it's finished. I really hope so. 902 00:45:48,720 --> 00:45:51,160 Yeah, I think Jamie sort of said that that that is the end. 903 00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:52,360 I. Yeah. 904 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,760 And yeah, yeah, maybe that's a series. 905 00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:00,000 Just go and get the the Big Brother and then talk about the 906 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,840 card and how that distills down to that. 907 00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:06,920 One card, yeah. I've been wondering how to like 908 00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,360 do that because it's like I don't want to do, I don't want 909 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,360 to consider like that a rolling right version of obsession. 910 00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,800 But like I agree. Yeah, I've been trying to figure 911 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,280 out how to make that like it's own thing. 912 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:22,600 Yeah, it's own sub sub series. I think that we could approach 913 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,520 Dan Halligan. I think that he could make a 914 00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,880 rolling right version of Obsession. 915 00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,080 I think one could be done. I think we could do it and it 916 00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:34,840 would be pretty good. Yeah, I'm just terrible at game 917 00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,400 design, so I'm just a big picture guy. 918 00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:41,200 I'll give you the ideas and you. May maybe it's already already 919 00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,560 on its way, yeah. Yeah, yeah, we should put. 920 00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:46,960 Down back on the show, so I am so I was looking so things we 921 00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:50,040 haven't talked about the games that we have just mentioned. 922 00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:51,760 So there's TWA and there's TWA Tai. 923 00:46:52,240 --> 00:46:55,320 So that was I did mention that one. 924 00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:56,880 I don't know how to pronounce it. 925 00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:58,400 How do you say it? TWA. 926 00:46:58,720 --> 00:47:00,560 TWA. It's just TWA, OK. 927 00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:05,400 Yeah, I think the French speakers please destroy my 928 00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:09,440 pronunciation of there was Longshot. 929 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,000 We don't know Longshot, but we have Longshot. 930 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,680 The dice game, which one I favour is kind of large group 931 00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,760 games. There's Raj of the Ganges and 932 00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:20,360 then Raj of the Dice Charmers I think it is, which is a nice. 933 00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,880 That's quite a complex 1. It is that one's good. 934 00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:27,680 Yeah, and then any other one was Imperial Settlers had one for 935 00:47:28,240 --> 00:47:31,160 Imperial Settlers Roll and Write, but that's one where the 936 00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:35,320 IT it felt there was a peak. I don't know how old that game 937 00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:37,120 is actually is. There was a point when that 938 00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,680 became really popular in a year to rush out roll and write 939 00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,840 versions of games. There was a real fad at some 940 00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:50,040 point and that was one where it was rushed out it it's O OK Solo 941 00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,880 was quickly sold through. Actually, they've got an online 942 00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:57,240 app that plays it quite well. It's quite nice solo, but the 943 00:47:57,240 --> 00:48:00,640 actual game it you can just see it wasn't fully thought through. 944 00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:06,360 So that's one I don't I don't yeah, that we've sold it. 945 00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:11,000 We've just got the original just got the app that I use now, but 946 00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:12,440 that's one that's that's been must be. 947 00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,120 It must have been in the collection so that that one 948 00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,680 needs to come off of this. But that was my ones. 949 00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:19,480 PJ, any other mentions on your side? 950 00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,520 I know you've hit all of them. I have no new ones in my 951 00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:27,600 collection to add. Yeah, we have got a list to buy 952 00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:29,320 some more because I have. Yeah. 953 00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:33,280 Yeah, I don't want to give away my like full list. 954 00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:34,560 No, no, don't. No, no. 955 00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:38,120 This is content. Yeah, this is my precious. 956 00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,360 Future Content. Yeah, I'll just give you little 957 00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,960 Nuggets. But one of the big ones that 958 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,640 just happened though that we can't fail to mention, I think 959 00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:49,360 is parks and the new parks rolling out that just came out. 960 00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,000 So I just said. That, yeah. 961 00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:55,520 I'm excited for that. Yeah. 962 00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,560 I don't know, Like, I feel like that one will be really good. 963 00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,560 I haven't heard the rules for it yet, but it is very cute. 964 00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:03,880 My daughter and I were just like looking at the notebooks and 965 00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:06,760 stuff that come in and they just really made that really nice. 966 00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:08,360 Yeah, I've seen the announcement. 967 00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:10,080 I hadn't seen the artwork. It's lovely. 968 00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:14,160 I've just Googled it. I did get Imperial Settlers the 969 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:18,040 dice game played or do not own Imperial settlers the board game 970 00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:22,040 so that is one that I need to and a new one I just discovered 971 00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:24,960 too is Woodcraft actually has a print and play role. 972 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:27,280 Oh yeah. Yeah, that one. 973 00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,600 My friend has a really nice printer, so he's printing for 974 00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,120 me, but I do have the board game, yeah. 975 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:35,760 That's when I was looking through all the games with Board 976 00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:37,080 Game Geek. And. 977 00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,640 Looking through to see where I had the match and then Woodcraft 978 00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:41,840 came up and I was like. That's interesting. 979 00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,360 Yeah, I was pleased to see that it was a print and play too. 980 00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:49,360 I really, I think that's nice. OK, so what's? 981 00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:51,720 So what's next? How often do you post on 982 00:49:51,720 --> 00:49:54,720 Instagram about? These I would like to post every 983 00:49:54,720 --> 00:49:58,000 day, but sometimes, you know, you just kind of get into like a 984 00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:02,480 little bit of a roll where I don't know, like recently I feel 985 00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,880 like my pictures haven't been picturing like I'm taking 986 00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:07,200 pictures and I'm like, why is this not like my vision's not 987 00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,840 coming to life here, which can sometimes be a hold up for me, 988 00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,600 but I am going to tour right now, though. 989 00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:16,440 I I don't first of all, I don't want to run through my list like 990 00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,480 super quick. Like I want this to be just kind 991 00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:20,680 of like an ongoing like chill series. 992 00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:23,120 Like, OK, here's another one. Like I'm I've been trying to 993 00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,360 think of maybe like a hashtag or something, but then I'm like, am 994 00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:28,760 I or is like Instagram like inundated with different 995 00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,240 hashtags or things. So it's kind of like like that. 996 00:50:31,240 --> 00:50:34,040 And I also don't want to set myself to like a rigorous 997 00:50:34,240 --> 00:50:37,240 schedule that I don't like. I just kind of want it to be 998 00:50:37,240 --> 00:50:40,560 like a natural thing. And then also like we were 999 00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:43,920 talking about like it being the spooky season for games. 1000 00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:48,000 I also have like a huge list of like, you know, not like 1001 00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:52,280 Halloween full like that kind of games and like moving into 1002 00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:55,400 winter and stuff. So you know, I have like that I 1003 00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,920 kind of want to post about two. I have some like review copies 1004 00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:01,240 of games. So it's like just making it all 1005 00:51:01,240 --> 00:51:03,960 fit. So I don't necessarily have like 1006 00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:08,000 a full schedule. I would I was kind of doing like 1007 00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,200 trying to do weekly, but I think weekly is too much. 1008 00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:12,080 I feel like I'll run through it too quickly. 1009 00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:13,960 Weekly. So that was my question. 1010 00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:17,400 Yeah, probably I would. I want to aim for like at least 1011 00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:21,200 monthly, maybe bi weekly at the most frequent I guess. 1012 00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:24,960 I mean having a hashtag hashtag makes it for that series would 1013 00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:28,160 help help anyone who wants to follow that specific that's what 1014 00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:31,000 I need to I need. I need a hashtag that just 1015 00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:35,120 focuses on like the rolling right portion and not the like, 1016 00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:37,640 not like rolling right Wednesday or something like that because I 1017 00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:41,720 don't want it to be a cadence. I want it to be just English 1018 00:51:41,720 --> 00:51:43,040 time. For this, yeah, your own pace, 1019 00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:44,600 right? Absolutely, yeah. 1020 00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:47,840 When I get that I. Will let you know if I think of 1021 00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:51,800 one that's snappy. But yeah, so right now I don't 1022 00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:53,520 have like a super plan. Like I said, it kind of just 1023 00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:56,040 became like a thing and like I do need to make it. 1024 00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,120 I have a feeling it's going to become a bit more like 1025 00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:02,080 structured in the way that I'm like comparing the games, like 1026 00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:06,760 you said, like kind of like a guideline of like what how they 1027 00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:10,560 fit together. But yeah, so I don't have that 1028 00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:12,600 fully fleshed on it yet. I feel like that's kind of 1029 00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:16,960 developing as I realize how many, how many dualities there 1030 00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:21,680 are between that. And then finally, I've also 1031 00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:23,760 discovered, like we were talking about with Castles of Burgundy, 1032 00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,600 that there are also card versions of games too, as well 1033 00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:29,600 as the rolling light version. So that's like a whole other 1034 00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,480 beast. It's like this game, the card 1035 00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:38,040 game, and yeah, so there's just like so many worlds out there of 1036 00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:42,120 it's just never ending. So many. 1037 00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:45,000 There's just so many. And we love them. 1038 00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:46,800 We love them all. That's the problem, right? 1039 00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:51,160 Yeah. So to every few weeks I use AI 1040 00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:55,880 to see it would so I just quickly asked our favorite 1041 00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:59,440 friendly AI what we can have as a series. 1042 00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:04,640 So flip the script board game re imaginations. 1043 00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:08,360 It's quite nice. Well, from board to pen remakes 1044 00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:12,680 of role and rights. That's that was a very straight 1045 00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:15,480 quick prompts request. That's pretty cool, I never 1046 00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:17,920 thought about using that. But yeah, you can have those. 1047 00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:18,840 Yeah. Thanks. 1048 00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:22,240 I'm going to write. That down I copy them out, paste 1049 00:53:22,240 --> 00:53:22,640 it in the. Chat. 1050 00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:25,320 Yeah, I like flip the script up too. 1051 00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:27,840 That was good. That was really good. 1052 00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:31,640 I didn't think of that. And it this links last week's 1053 00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:34,640 episode, which we've had a lot of discussion around which was 1054 00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:39,520 the use of AI in board games and design and where it's a tool 1055 00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:41,960 versus, I guess that replacement. 1056 00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:42,680 Yeah. And. 1057 00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:47,000 That's just an ID generation. And then here's another trend, 1058 00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:48,560 right? So the trend is using AI and 1059 00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:49,760 art. Now we've got the trend of 1060 00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,800 creating a parallel rolling right version of your game, 1061 00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:56,360 right? So are we at that time? 1062 00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:57,840 Are we I? Think we're that time where 1063 00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:00,640 okay, you need to tell us what last weeks episode last week, 1064 00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:03,160 episode last weeks. Last weeks voiceover. 1065 00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:06,480 Voiceover was. Last yes last weeks voiceover 1066 00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:10,840 was the game Garten bow. Yeah, which I've never heard of. 1067 00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:15,400 Which you had never heard of. But Chris, Chris guessed it 1068 00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:19,320 correctly off air. So what I'm going to do, Tara, 1069 00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:22,800 is I'm going to read an intro from a rolling right game. 1070 00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:25,320 Although in all fairness is not a parallel. 1071 00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:28,320 It's going to be kind of obvious, but I'm going to read 1072 00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:30,240 it. I'll let you guess it, but we 1073 00:54:30,240 --> 00:54:32,960 won't reveal it until next week to our listeners. 1074 00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:39,640 And so here we go. Welcome to the heart of New 1075 00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:42,000 Orleans. You're in town for a weekend 1076 00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:45,560 trip, with plans to spend your Saturday evening taking in as 1077 00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:50,680 many of the city's unique sights and sounds as possible in a mere 1078 00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:53,520 8 hours. Whether it's the distinct food, 1079 00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:58,160 the local culture, shopping hotspots, Mystic customs, or the 1080 00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:01,200 vibrant nightlife, there's something to experience on 1081 00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:05,040 practically every corner. There's live jazz everywhere you 1082 00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:09,760 go, and NOLA is world famous for its St. performers. 1083 00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,920 Make sure you don't miss the spontaneous wedding parades, 1084 00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:16,680 known locally as second lines that roll through the narrow 1085 00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:20,160 streets. Play it safe or go wild, it's 1086 00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:22,880 your choice. As you navigate the city, your 1087 00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:26,560 map will serve as both a guidebook and a memento of your 1088 00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:28,720 trip. Reunite with your friends at the 1089 00:55:28,720 --> 00:55:33,160 end of the night to compare notes and swap stories. 1090 00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,480 Even I've got that this week. I know you do. 1091 00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:39,280 It's. Not there already. 1092 00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:41,880 It's it's such a good one. It's such a good one. 1093 00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:45,240 And after I'm done reading it, I realize I should have done it in 1094 00:55:45,240 --> 00:55:46,840 my native accent, but I didn't. Oh, that. 1095 00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:48,640 Would have been good. I felt it, yeah. 1096 00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,360 I've missed out on an opportunity to hit a native 1097 00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:52,480 accent. You did. 1098 00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,840 OK, Tara, remind me where we find you on Instagram? 1099 00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:59,240 This is your handle.
