  Speaker 1: Welcome to pick up and Deliver the podcast where I
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: pick up my audio corder as I step out for
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: a walk and deliver an episode to you while I
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: stroll around.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: I'm Brendan Riley.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Well, good afternoon, listeners. It's a lovely day here in
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: suburban Chicago. I'm taking a walk before I head into
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: campus for a late afternoon set of office hours and
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the board Game club meeting. Looking forward to playing some
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: games tonight hanging out. Well, I don't really use this
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: podcast to talk about politics much, but I will say
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I'm very disappointed in the way the election went, and
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: if any of y'all want to commiserate by email or message,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I would be happy to do that. I'm sure it'll
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: come out and fits and bursts over the next couple
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: of weeks. But so I thought I would talk about
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: three games I played recently because I am really behind
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: on that list. That's right, it's time for a Board
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Game Espresso triple Shot. For those of you new to
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the podcast, a Board Game Espresso Triple Shot is a
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: episode where I talk about three games I played recently
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: and one I dusted off in a sort of mini
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: review segment. These are games I have not played enough
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: to give a full review to, but have played enough
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: to be able to talk about my experience.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: I e. I played them once.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: These are still games I played in September, so I
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: haven't even cracked into the October games yet, much less
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: the games I've played this month, so plenty to talk about.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I thought i'd start with an oldie, but a goodie.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: This is Blocus Trygon. Now, Blocus is a classic game.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: It's been around for a long time. It's widely available.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I have a copy at my house, which is an
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: amusing game to have because it took me a couple
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: of times purchasing it to have the whole game. Because
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the way Blocus works if you haven't played it, and
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Blocus Trigon is essentially exactly like Blocus except its triangles
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: instead of squares, So it's almost.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: A why did this need to be made? Kind of thing?
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: But you could say that about any expansion really probably
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: so anyway, so Blocus Trygone.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: The idea is, or the idea of blocuses.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Everybody's got the same set of, like say, ten plastic shapes.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: These are polyameno shapes and varying sizes made out of
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: In this case triangles. In the original Bocus that was squares,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: And the way that you play the game is that
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: you put out pieces on the board and your pieces
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: may never be adjacent.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: To other pieces of yours.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember if you have to be diagonally
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: adjacent or if you just can be. I think you
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: can put your pieces wherever you want, but you are
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: allowed to be diagonally adjacent to your own pieces, but
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: not directly adjacent. And so the result is that people
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: can kind of the pieces can kind of slot in
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: between each other, and you can't block off chunks of
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the board, and the goal is to be the last
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: one who still is able to place pieces. Basically, the
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: game goes until no one can place pieces anymore, and
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: then you count up how many basically how many units
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: of pieces you have left. So if you have two
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: triangle units that cover three spaces on the board, then
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: you get three points, and lowest score wins, So you
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: win if you are able to place all your pieces
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: and if no one else is I don't remember what
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the tiebreaker is if more than one person is not
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: able is able to place all their pieces.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: But it's a classic.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Game, pretty fun, easy to play, it's a great it's
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: a great intro game or a great filler game. Like
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I said, I have a copy of Blocus. I got
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: it at Goodwill, and I actually had to buy it
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: twice because first time I bought it at Goodwill, I
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: took it home and got out all the pieces, and
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I did not count the pieces at the store. There's
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of pieces, and I'm like, I'll just take
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: a chance. Well, two of the colors were.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Missing some pieces. So then the next time I.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Saw a set of Blocus, I bought that set also
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: because you know, it's two bucks at Goodwill, and I
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: mixed the pieces that we're missing from the first set
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: into the second. Of course, one of the pieces that
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: had been missing from the first set was also missing
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: from the second. That was the single red square. For
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: some reason, that piece is hard to keep track of,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I guess, So I took a tile nipper and I
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: broke one of the pieces from the second replacement set
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: so that it had a single square piece and I
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: just put that in.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: That worked fine, which was sort of funny.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: But anyway, so Blocus Trygone was donated to the Game
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Club and we inaugurated it. Had a good time playing
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: and it was a delight. The game was designed by
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Bernard Tavishian, and it says artist Alan Hulk, I'm not
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: sure what art there is to do, but I'm sure
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: there was some. And yeah, we had a good time.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: If you get a chance to play Blocus or Blocus Tryon,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Trygone was released in two thousand and six, don't pass
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: it up.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: It's a good time.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Next up is another game that was donated to the
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Game Club, and I got to play missus Casino Yachtzi.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: I used to joke about the movie World war Z
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: in that it had very little in common with the
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: book World war Z, except that the title world war
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Z was in both. That's not entirely true, but it's
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: a big part of what I disliked about the.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Movie World war Z.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I think the book would have been much better done
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: as a premiere TV series adaptation, done in documentary style,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: following the narrative tropes of the book, not just the
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: story bits. In fact, they missed a lot of the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: story bits too, but anyway, the overall approach was a
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: minimal overlap. I'm reminded of that in talking about Casino Yachtzi.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Casino Yatzi which is an uncredited design from Milton Bradley
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: released in nineteen eighty six, has this futuristic looking four
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: way plastic tray thing with a grid of pegs in
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: the middle and a grid of pegs on your own board.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: The way the game works is that you have five
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: dice and you roll them three times, and the combination
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: of dice that you get allow you to maybe tick
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: off one of the pegs on your board each turn
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: that you go. When you manage to complete one of
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the pegs on your board, you are getting closer to
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: scoring a row or column on your board. When you
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: score that row or column, you get some points, and
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: you know, block that row or column from being scored
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: by anyone else. That's what the middle board is for
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: to Actually, I think you just roll in the space
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: in the middle board. I don't think there's any pegs
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: there now that I think about it. But so everyone's
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: keeping track is as scores get claimed, they get kind
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: of blocked, and your goal is to fill in the
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: pegs on your board such that you can score as
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: many of these as you can. It's a fine little
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: dice rolling game. I mean, there's a little bit like
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: in regular YACHTSI there's a little bit of choice to
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: be made, but mostly it's the lack of rolling well
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: and making some good statistical choices, perhaps along with a
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: fair amount of luck. I mean, part of what makes
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Yazi fun is that it's a fair amount of yuk luck.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: But if you are a big fan of Yatzi and
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: then you went and played casino Yachtzi one, you would
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: find yourself wondering, what does this have to do with
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: a casino, because I don't think does have anything to
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: do with a casino.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: And two, what the heck does that have to do
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: with Yatzi.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, once you get past there are dice that
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: you roll three times, you're pretty much playing a different game.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Regular Yachtzi does not allow you to block out things
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: that other people might want to score. Although I suppose
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: that each turn, in each turn Yachtzi, you have to
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: block out one of the scoring options. So you do
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: have turns where you don't get anything. That is not
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: a rule, as I recall on this, but you do
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: lose scoring options as the game goes along. So maybe
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: that's the overlap they're looking at. I don't know, you know,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: it was fine. It is a dice rolling game with
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: a little bit of player interaction. It takes about twenty minutes.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: It's good.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: It's the sort of game where if somebody at the
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: end of hey, you want to play some Casino Yachtzi,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: sure I would play that. Are there other dice rollings
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I enjoy more? Las Vegas is one probably that I
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: would point to over Casino Yatzi. I was gonna say
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Zombie Dice, but no, Zombie Dice is.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Not particularly fun.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Cthulu Dice maybe, but I mean Casino Yatzi's decent.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: It's fun to play.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: If I encounter a copy at Goodwill, will I buy it.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: That's a tricky one. I mean, I often am talking
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: about how I need to purge my collection. And it's
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: both an old game that I don't know that I
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: would play very often. And it's a fairly large game,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: like it comes in a big box because it's got
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: this big plastic thing. It could be much smaller and
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: still work. If you did it with whiteboards and whiteboard markers,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: it could be much smaller. Yeah, So I don't know.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I would pick it up at
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Goodwill or not. I guess we'll find out someday if
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: I find it at Goodwill. But anyhow, that's Casino Yazi
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: from nineteen eighty six, played at Tago Gaming. Donated to
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Tago Gaming by my design partner, Rob Well done, Rob
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: good call Well. I did manage to dust off some
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: games recently. Of those games is Favor of the Pharaoh.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Favor of the Pharaoh is a Tom Layman design. If
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: you listen to this podcast for a while, you know
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Tom Layman is a favorite designer of mine. What I
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: put him in the top five top five designer?
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Maybe maybe.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Tom Lahman is famous for multi use card games, mostly
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Race for the Galaxy is probably his most well known game,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: but he also designed res Arkhana, which gets a lot
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: of love, and a number of other games. I'm particularly
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: fond of The City, which was re themed as jump Drive,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: because people like to buy games in genre as the
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: way that they're familiar with it. There's a chickadee and
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: so they play. They buy a Race for the Galaxy
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: type games. Jump Drive is a Race for the Galaxy
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: type game, but it was originally published as The City,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: and I like that version of it if something else,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: because not everybody in my household likes to play sci
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: fi games, and so having a game that's not a
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: sci fi game means it might get played more. But anyway,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Tom Lahman has also experimented with dice games. He helped
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: design Roll for the Galaxy. He designed a game called
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Dice Realms, which did not get a ton.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Of great reviews.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: I think people thought it was okay, but the building
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: your own dice mechanism was expensive and a little fiddly,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: and if you dropped the tray the dice things were
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: in they went everywhere, So that one was not super
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: well received, I don't think. But Favor of the Pharaoh
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: is a great little dice rolling game. It is in
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the sort of Yachtzi style, but more like Elder Sign actually,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: where you're rolling dice and eliminating them or locking them,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: and your goal is to get a combination. Again, you're
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: trying to get a combination of dice. What I like
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: about Favor of the Pharaoh, So the idea is everybody
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: is trying to win the favor of the Pharaoh. You
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: are noble people in ancient Egypt. In each round, you
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: take some dice and roll them. The way it works
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: is you roll the dice and then you can pick
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: one of the dice to lock, then you reroll the others.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: You can lock more than one die if you want,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: but each time you roll, you have to lock one
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: of the dice. You also get a number.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Of ways to change the dice.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: There are some tokens that allow you to flip a
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: die over, so turn it from a two into a five,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: or a four into a three. In case you didn't know,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: all the regular six side dice always have opposite sides
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: add up to seven, so flipping a dieover is the
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: other half of seven. Then there are some add a
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: pip or remove a pip functions. But the way it
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: is is that you're trying to get these combinations of dice,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: and when you achieve a specific combination, then you get
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: to take a tile, and the tiles get you additional
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: dice or additional dice manipulation powers. So some of the
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: tiles will just give you more dice to roll being
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: in the round. Some of the tiles will give you
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: a once per round thing you can use or runs
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: per around bonus. Some of the tiles will give you
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: some other effects. And the idea is each turn, if
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: you can you win a tile, and that tile then
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: adds more dice into your hand for next time you're rolling,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: and the goal is to be the first one to
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: roll seven of a kind. If you manage to roll
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: seven of a kind in your turn and you take
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: that as your result, then you win the favor of
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the queen, and then everyone else, including you, has one
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: more turn to try to do better than the seven
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: of a kind that you did. The way you rate
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: better is if somebody does eight of a kind, theirs
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: is better, no matter what value it is. If they
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: do seven of a kind, theirs is better. If they
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: do a higher value than yours. You locked in the
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: fives at seven, someone else, in order to steal the
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: seven has to do six six's at seven, or they
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: could go up to eight dice and just do one.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: It's an interesting sort of scaling mechanism where because you're
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: building up all these dice manipulation tools, in the end,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: it's totally possible to have two or three people at
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: least roll seven on the last round, and sometimes you
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: have people roll eight or nine think it actually goes
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: up to ten. It's really interesting. It's one of those
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: games where the scaling powers get a little bit out
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: of control, but by the time that they feel excessive,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: you're probably only doing one or two turns with that many,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: and then the game's over.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: I really like the dice manipulation. It's a chat.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: It's one of those things where you have a bunch
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: of different ways that you can approach a problem, and
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: you kind of have to decide which approach you're going
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: to take, and sometimes rerolling dice helps you. Sometimes you
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: get screwed by it. It's fun, it's a race. It
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: takes about half an hour. It's a little complicated to teach,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: but I have a good time with it, which is
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: why it stayed in my collection over other similar games
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: like Colony by Ted Alsbach was another game that was
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: very similar to this, which ultimately I decided I like
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Favor of the Fara better and Colony I sold on.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: It also feels slightly similar to Elder Sign and that
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: you're trying to complete tasks and you get bonuses. The
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: differences and an Elder Sign, those bonuses.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Don't accumulate for the most part.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: When you get a bonus, you use it one time
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: and then it goes away. In favor of the Pharaoh,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: you get a bonus and then you get to use
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: it from then on for the most part, but that
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: then on bonus then you have to.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Get better roles to do better.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: I really like that one and I'm glad to play it.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: That's Favor of the Pharaoh from twenty fifteen designer Tom Layman,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: published by Bezier Games. All right, finally I got to
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: try Switch and Signal. This is another of those games
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: that I picked up that one day when I got
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: like eleven games at Goodwill for thirty dollars and they
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: were all great or all interesting hobby games anyway.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Ostrich and Signal is a.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Cooperative railroad management game in which you play conductors trying
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: to get trains through the city to deliver goods in
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: a limited amount of time, using a limited amount of resources,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: and trying to not have the trains all crash into
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: each other. Like I said, it's cooperative, so you are
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: managing these trains. You take actions and you draw cards,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: and the random part is that these trains get activated.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Then you have to decide how to use your actions
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: to move trains or change gates, with the idea of
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: having the trains move forward so that they will move
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: through the city without crashing. Into each other. Each time
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: they crash into each other, it uses up time, and
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: time is the resource that you're trying to beat. It's
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: a race game. You want to get a certain amount
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: accomplished before time runs out. I thought this was pretty
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: interesting that from designer David Thompson, who has become kind
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: of a celebrity the last few years, having designed Undaunted
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: and a number of other games. Trevor Benjamin and Dave
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Thompson have released a number of games together. David Thompson
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: has become something of a rock star in the hobby,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: or at least parts of the hobby. This game I
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: thought was fine. I didn't think it was amazing. Thought
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: it was an interesting puzzle. It's the sort of game
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: that if someone else in my group really was into it,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, I would love to try that
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: one out. However, because I did not find anybody else
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: who was super into it, I don't think I'm going
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: to keep it. One of the main people I play
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: co op games with is my mother in law. She
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: really likes those, and we played it. When I played it,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: she was one of the ones I played it with
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: and we got done. I'm like, so, what do you think.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: She's like, it's fine. I'm like, do you think over
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: other games we have, this is one you'd want to
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: play again? She goes, probably not, So that was enough
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: for me. For me, it was interesting to try at
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: three dollars. I'm happy to have paid that money for
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: it once. I can probably get that much again selling it,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: but ultimately wasn't amazing, and so it'll move on. I
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: will say it seems like it's an interesting solo game,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: that it does have a robust solo mode, and I
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: remember seeing Ambi from Board game Blitz playing it and
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: enjoying it. So that is switching signal came out.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: In twenty twenty.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Well, that brings me to the end of my board
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: game Espresso Triple Shot.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Well that's about it for me today. Thanks for joining me.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: I hope that your next walk is this pleasant as
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: mine was. Well. Bye. Brought to you by rattle Box
