• 2:18
  Speaker 3: What are you doing, clay, what You're the man.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: All right, I'm here, I'm ready to talk board games.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Let's do it.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: We've got no time to waste because we have 30 games to get through later on.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: But first let's debrief our week.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Then we're going to fall in on the mission objective.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Espn has their 30 for 30.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Forbes has their 30 under 30.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: This is our 30 games under $ 30 in 30 seconds or less, and then we'll go over the fence and we'll wrap it up with things that we've been doing outside of board gamings.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: But first let's debrief our week.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Jared, debrief your game, your week in board gaming for me all right.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Well, this one, um, is a new one.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I don't even know how I got involved in Distilled from BGA hashtag BGA, with these two fine gentlemen Distilled.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: It's a new game right In 2013,.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: 23 came out, yeah, designer Dave Beck, artist Eric Evenson, publisher Paverson Games, and there's a bunch of other publishers.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I obviously play the BGA version, I'm sure I think there's a couple of different variants of it too, but I don't know what the BGA version is.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: It's an awesome game.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I'm not much of an alcohol drinker.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: If I was going to be drinking, it would be to get drunk on some distilled liquors that we make.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: In this game.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: You have an awesome market phase.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: You're trying to get all your ingredients into different containers, age them, you know, sweeten them up with your sugars and then creating some kind of alcohol, and so the main objective of the game is to make the best possible alcohols and sell them.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: The best possible alcohols and sell them.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: You can improve your alcohols through either like premium ingredients and then also upgrades to your distillery Really neat little variants on building your engine.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: You know me, I'm all about building that engine and then there's also some luck involved where you have to remove some of your ingredients.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: After you shuffle them up, add in some alcohols that your fruits or your sugars you know they take on alcohol.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: And then you have to remove two of your cards.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: So maybe you might not have the ingredients to make that delicious tequila that you were hoping for because you accidentally removed your two agave.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: But anyways, I digress, it's a lot of fun.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: I also want to take this time to say, hey, maybe we could play Twitch and play some Distilled.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Is that what the kids are doing these days?
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Twitch, is that?
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: what it is.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I'd be down to do some Distilled on Twitch.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Let's Twitch it up.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I think Travis thralled us the first time.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I think I got one good one in, but maybe we'll have to see what happens.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Do it live.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I know that they also have a new expansion coming out for Distilled and so hopefully that makes it to BGA.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: But I know it's like a cocktails version, so you're not just brewing the alcohols, you're then making cocktails with them.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: So curious to see what that looks like.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen any playthroughs or anything of it?
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's got all the makings of a great board game, like character abilities.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: It's based in reality, isn't that?
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Isn't that a style or a theme?
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know yeah.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: You kind of like learn a little bit about the distilling process through the distilled game?
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, and with your description of it, I just now realized why I can.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I can only ever brew or distill vodka in that game.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: It's because I'm losing out on ingredients.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I'm not fortifying my hand enough when I select the ingredients.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I am now learning.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, damn it, I'm now learning how to play this game.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: When you watch us on Twitch play Distilled, you might watch Travis just throttle us both.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: He's going to become quite the distiller, that's right.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Now, jared, you've played what's it called Viticulture, right, viticulture.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that one seems like real clunky.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: There is a lot going on in Viticulture.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Same kind of premise You're making wine, yeah, also building your engine, characterabilities, all the same kind of feel, but I feel like distilled is it's more distilled, it's a little bit easier to understand the the rounds.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: At least bga makes it seem very easy, like it already collects everything for you, puts it into the little piles.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: It automatically removes your ingredients when you go to distill and stuff.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: So it's a little clunkier in real life, but it's still a pretty streamlined game.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: That again it can take.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: It can take a little longer than you might want if you're playing with more than three players probably, but yeah, it's definitely been a fun one to keep going back to on BGA with you guys.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Do you have, anyone have?
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: it in person Way better than.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Darwin's Journey.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Oh gosh, oh God.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: I do have Distilled in person and yes, I'm sorry about playing Darwin's Journey.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: I just wanted to reboost my street cred.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: After I whined and whined about unconscious minds being too complicated, I wanted to share the complexity amongst Operation Game.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Night.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: For the listener out there, clay decided to send me and Travis a little friend request for a little play of Darwin's Journal, darwin's Journey.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: This thing is complicated as sin the just the.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: The youtube video alone was almost 40 minutes.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: But I hate to say it, guys, I think I'm into it, I that's.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: What I'm worried about is that this damn thing's so complicated.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the hell's going on, but it's something's got.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: It's scratching some kind of itch, even though I think we're probably going to be playing this over the next two months because it's going to take forever to get through all the turns.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: I really like.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: The core thing of Darwin's Journey is that making your workers unique by getting them different seals.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Your one worker has like two green seals so it can go to all the green spaces and then you can keep upgrading that over time and, like you, make these workers that can do these different things for you.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: So I like that core system.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: There is a lot extra going on, but it is.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I just learned that you could do that in Darwin's journey, so that's like the thing, Travis, you got to get those seals buddy I'm just like clicking a random worker and sending them wherever I it will allow me to send them.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: It's like my first couple plays of lost rooms, of varnak.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: I'm just like do whatever I can, whatever it will allow me to do, and then I'm hey, maybe we could get uh darwin on on twitch as well.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Well, and people can phone in and help us.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Maybe we stop this one halfway through and restart after we all figure out what we're doing and how the hell this thing works.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fair.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I just want to find those turtles.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know where they are, but I'm looking for them.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I want to find them.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: I want to figure out how big they are, how old they are.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: I want to do it all.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Deliver them to the museum.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Well, that was my debrief, All right.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Clay, debrief your week for me.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Listen, I've been playing a lot of games lately, so I'm going to let you guys pick the path you want to go down.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: So three games I would like to talk about.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: One's little, two are decent size.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: I played Apiary, architects of the West Kingdom and the Gang.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Never heard of them.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: The dice game.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: No, the Gang Jared, I played Apiary with you and Architects of the West game.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: No, the gang jared, I'd played apiary with you and architects of the west kingdom on bga, holy shit cut that, cut that, cut that, I'll cut that, I'll cut that um the gang is that new poker style cooperative card game oh yeah, let, let me hear about that one.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Okay, I still want to talk about one of those other ones too.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: So, okay, you might be stuck with me for a little bit, all right, okay, so the gang is billed as like Texas Hold'em poker, meets the mind.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: So if you haven't yeah, if you haven't played, the mind it's.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: It's a game where you all just have cards and you don't talk and you're trying to play them in ascending order without messing up, um, so you're, it's kind of capturing that same feeling, but with poker hands.
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: So what you do is you deal everybody out their pocket.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: There are two cards that they start with and, based on what those two cards are, there's four poker chips laid out on the table and, without talking, you have to grab the poker chip that you think corresponds with the strength of your hand compared to everybody else.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: So there's like a one chip, two chip, three chip, four chip else.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: So there's like a one chip, two chip, three chip, four chip.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: And if I think my hand's really bad, maybe I grabbed the one chip because I have like a two and a three that aren't suited, um, and then everybody else grabs a chip and if you like, really think somebody is wrong about what they grabbed, you can grab that chip from them and give them your chip.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Um, so you do that.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: After you get your initial pocket hand, then you deal out I don't know the poker terms, but the flop maybe when you deal out three more cards in the center that everybody's looking at and then you do another round of grabbing poker chips.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: So, and then the yellow chips come out and you're like, okay, now, based on this new information, my hands may be better than I thought it was.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: This time I'm grabbing for the second highest hand, strength.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: And all this is just gathering information, because after the fifth.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: So then there's a third round where the fourth card comes out.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: You do that again with the chips and then, after the fourth round that's when it matters the red chips come out and now you've hopefully gained enough information about what people might have in their hand and the strength of their hand that you all grab the chip.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: And once everybody's settled, you start with the lowest person.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: They reveal their pocket and they're like okay, you, you have nothing.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: You have a high card.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: Good, nobody had, nobody was worse than that.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Then you go to the next person and you're hoping their hand's just a little better.
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: So you go around.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: If you mess up, you trigger an alarm.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: If you succeed and you got all the hands in the correct order, then you like flip a card that says you started breaking into the bank, because that's the theme of this game is like you're a crew trying to heist a bank and so the game ends, whether either if you get all three bank breaking cards flipped positively or you triggered three alarms and so yeah, it's just, it's just, it's super simple.
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: If you know poker at all, it's it takes like three seconds to explain what's going on and it just it has those moments where in the mind where you're just like you're revealing things and you're like no way, because this person just had one number higher than you and you just barely got by by the skin of your teeth.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: So it's like a 15 minute game.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: And yeah, again, if you, if you have a habit around and you're want to play a game with people that don't normally play games but they know poker, it's like hey look, this is an interesting take on this game you already know, but we're all working together to, you know, try and organize our hands without talking.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Is it Western themed?
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: Not really.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: It's more like Ocean's Eleven type heisters.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: That's cool.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: There is an advanced variant that we played with and it's not that advanced, but essentially there's special cards that if you tripped an alarm for the next turn you get this positive effect.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: So it like kind of as a catch up mechanism almost, where it's like okay, one person can tell you what strength hand they have, so you can have some talk during that round, so you can have some talk during that round.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: And then the opposite is true is, if you succeeded in your last hand, you flip over a card that makes it harder in your next one, so maybe you don't get to deal out the white chips after the pocket cards are dealt.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: So anyway, it's super quick, super fun.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Again, there's not much to it, but when you have those moments where you, you like, get it right and everybody's clapping and high-fiving like that's a good game.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: It's a simple game and I got it because I really love the crew, which was a twist on trick-taking games which made it cooperative.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: This is definitely a lot lighter and simpler than that and probably not as much replayability as the Crew, but again, for a $10 game that you can break out with anybody, I love it.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: I'm super glad I have it.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: What have you been playing, travis?
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Uh, I got to play kelp shark versus octopus.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, two player only game.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: I've been busting at the seams to talk about this.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Kelp is a I think it was a game found.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Anyways, it's a crowd-funded game that just released and just got shipped to all its backers, and it is a two-player only, asymmetric hide-and-seek game between a shark and an octopus, so both sides play differently.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I got to play the octopus and my opponent played the shark, and they both have really cool mechanisms.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: So the octopus, their goal is to eat all the food before they get caught by the shark, and they do that through hidden tiles that are facing the octopus only, and then the shark player sits across from the octopus and these tiles have food or traps or the octopus token itself, and you have to play cards out of your hand that can, uh, let your octopus grow and get new abilities and to eat the food and to switch the traps and to do all this other stuff.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Um, so it's like a deck building type game for the octopus with a hidden movement.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: So you can play these cards that will allow you to eat a food or to learn a new technique which you add to your deck.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: But to do that you have to pay the cost of the tokens that are on the board.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: So when I pay a card that says I have to pay two tokens, I take the tokens that are hidden to the shark player and I have to flip them down so that the shark player can see them.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: And ideally you want to reveal as few of those as possible, because then what you're trying to do is move your octopus token around to hide it from the shark, because the shark wants to find the octopus and kill the octopus or defeat it in the final confrontation.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: So octopus is more of a hidden movement and deck building.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Octopus is more of a hidden movement and deck building.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: The shark is like a upgraded.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: It's a.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: They want to upgrade their player powers through pulling dice of a bag.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: So it is a bag building game for the shark and they are trying to move along these current lines.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: The board is like this big circle broken up into a nine quadrant grid and they are trying to move along these current lines to search these tokens for the octopus and beat it in the confrontation.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: So once you reveal the octopus, you have to be right next to it.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: To attack you have to have a red die that's available to spend as an attack, and then the octopus gets one more chance to escape with these three cards, and the cards are like counters to an attack.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: So the octopus will take one of these cards and the shark has the matching three cards.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: I can't remember what they're called exactly, but both players will choose one face down and if the shark player picks the same card as the octopus, the shark wins and he gets to like counter the octopus's escape.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: If they both pick the same yeah, if they both pick the same, the shark wins.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: If they pick different ones, the octopus gets to do the player ability that's on the card.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Maybe it's moved the octopus around, maybe it's to reset all their tokens, maybe it's a you know, do a bunch of different stuff that puts them back into hiding.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: But those cards red, green, yellow, whatever color it is those ones get discarded from those final confrontation cards.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: So the next time it happens it's a 50 50 shot for the shark and then after that it would be like they just have to find them one more time and then the shark would win.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: So it's really cool.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: I definitely want to give it a couple more plays, but it's Wonderbow Games and it just came out.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I want to shout out specifically the expansion.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: So I got the mini expansion for this and I got a Brilliant Behaviors expansion.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: I have not played with these yet but I was pretty impressed just kind of reading the rules of them.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: The new pursuits is the mini expansion and it adds additional goals for each player that can get you benefits as you go along.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Little tiny little pack of cards that are like these little table tents that you set up next to the board that have different player goals.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: And then the Brilliant Behaviors has a pack of they call it a six expansion.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know why it's called a six expansion, but it comes with these six different cards that augment the way that both sides play.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: So there's three for the shark, three for the octopus and it kind of gives them different advantages, makes their play a little different.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: But they specifically recommend using expansions or this Brilliant Behaviors expansion to level the playing field between new players and old players, new players and experienced players.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: So it's pretty cool.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: These two mini expansions are really interesting.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: I definitely want to play with a couple of those.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: But I want to get a couple more plays of this.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: The artwork is beautiful.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: You look at the game board, it's like looking at the sea floor.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: It's got kelp and coral and all this stuff and it's got you know different.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: It's like a grid system for the blocks and the movement.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: The shark can enhance its movement capability because it can only move along these grid lines and it can't swim backwards.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: So you can't just, like, make a u-turn immediately swim backwards.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: You have to either.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: You have to ride these currents around to get to advantageous positions and you can enhance your movement by rolling additional current dice, the blue ones, and if you can play them in descending order and multiple blue dice in descending order, you can jump all the way to the end of that current, which is pretty cool, uh to, you know, get some real mobility around the board.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: So kelp seems like a really cool system.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: I definitely want to give it a couple more plays to give my final thoughts on it, but so far it has not failed to impress.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I really enjoyed it does it have?
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: it has a 3d minifigs.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: I'm looking it up on board game geek yeah, um, if you want to see these minifs, we posted it on our real on instagram at operation game night.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: But, um, it came with some nice mini figs in the deluxe kickstarter edition.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Um, and the octopus one, because he's got a little token that says what your starting hand will be either four or five and the mini fig for the octopus holds that token with its tentacles, which is pretty excellent.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's cute.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: It's giving me serious uh battleship vibes, but with some fun play.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just liked how the different mechanisms are different.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: You have hidden movement and deck building versus bag building and upgrading player power.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: So it was really interesting, pretty cool.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: Who did you play with?
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Rache.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: What did she think of?
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: it.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: I think she needs a couple more plays of it to understand or really use turns effectively.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: But yeah, we made it through.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Nice, it was, we made it through nice, nice yeah does do?
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: octopuses squirt ink.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Is this, is that a uh a thing that you have to calculate?
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: That's, isn't that squids, squids okay, dang it.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the octopi the octopi does have a player, not octopi.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: The octopus has a player ability to trick of the light or blending in or active camouflage or whatever it is that can help them hide their position.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Again.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: There's one that you get to add a couple of your tokens that are already out on the board, these nice acrylic tiles.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: They're super nice to play with, but you get to add them back to your bag and shake it up and then, as you draw them out, the shark gets to decide.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: You don't show them which one you drew out, but they get to decide where it goes.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: So you draw one and the shark says I want that one there, and then you place it hidden.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: And then I want that one there and you place it hidden.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: So it's pretty cool nice.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, got good player interaction.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: You guys remember andrew lankow?
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he went and got a master's at uc, santa cruz, and he did a whole bunch of research on octopus.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Um cool, never read what he wrote.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he wrote a thesis or something.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: But if you ever want to get in on the brain of an octopus you gotta go talk to that guy.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: He's a huge fan.
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: That's interesting.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: I'm a huge fan of octopus because of him.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Obviously, I didn't know they didn't squirt ink, so maybe I'm not that big of a fan.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: You should probably go chat with him, jared.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: I need to set up a meeting, yes.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's Kelp.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Shark vs Octopus by Wonderbow Games, released 2024.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: I dig it.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: The only other one that I have to debrief is that I got my copy of Dead Cells, the board game in which is a roguelike board game based on a video game called Dead Cells.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: The Board Game In which is a roguelike board game based on a video game called Dead Cells, and I'm so stoked to get this played and I will talk more about it later, but I love the video game and I'm really excited to get that to the table.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: Those are tricky.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: I hear mixed things when they do these board game adaptations of video games, so I'm interested to see if this one's going to be a hit.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I still need to unbox it, but I might do a unboxing video for our Instagram.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: And just as a go back, the gang also came out in 2024 by Cosmos and designed by John Cooper and Corey Heath.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: So new one, but you can get it.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: I've seen it out and about.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: Look at this we're staying relevant and, you know, up on the times.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: That's pretty cool yeah.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: We are hip with it.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Jared Are we, would you say we're on the cutting edge.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: No, because we would have gotten all of these games to preview before they released.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: But we're getting there, the real content creators talked about this a year ago.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Oh right right right.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Hey, did you guys want me to talk about Apiary or Architects of the West Kingdom?
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: If you're going to talk about one, I would talk about it quickly.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: Yes, which one?
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Whichever one you are most excited about, that's tough.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Okay, I apologize.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: I didn't realize what apiary was and I do remember.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Now I I don't connect apiary with bees in my head, for some reason.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Apiary legitimately means bee-related this is the quality of podcast mate you have here.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know anything about animals.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know which ones squirt ink and which ones collect honey.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know Dang squirt ink and which ones collect honey.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know Dang Real zoologist.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: Well, since we're talking about Apiary, Apiary is one of Stonemaier's newer games.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: It came out in 2023, designed by Connie Vogelman, and at its core, it's a worker placement, tile placement game.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: So you have these little bee workers that have certain.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: Have you played this Travis?
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: I have not.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: I've been really interested in trying it, but I haven't tried it.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: yet he don't remember it, but maybe it'll ring a bell when I start talking about it.
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: No, I remember.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Now I looked it up on BG Board Game Geek.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you see it, but anyway you have these little bee workers that can be from value one to four.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: So one of the core things you're doing throughout the game is your workers, your worker bees, are upgrading in value and you're sending them out to these different action spots.
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: So the things you're doing are like you can send your worker to a space to explore different planets and when you do that, you gather the resources that are on that planet and you can store them in your hive.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: You can also go to a space where you are gathering new tiles for your hive Think Castles of Burgundy.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: All right, we're grabbing tiles, we're expanding them out in our hive.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: Each different tile has like a different special ability.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: So you have these green tiles that are farm tiles that activate when you return your workers home, which I'll talk about in a second and they also give you more spaces to store resources on your hive mat, because if you can't store the resources, you can't have them.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: Then there's blue tiles that give you these ongoing effects throughout the game.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: And then there are these wonderful pink tiles, which Jared doesn't remember playing, but I remember even what you did during this game, because these pink tiles have these bogus one-time effects that you're like holy cow, that's crazy.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: And jared was just like he found some combo that he could do where he would play one of those and then be able to activate it again.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: But anyway, those are the three different types of tiles you're placing into your hive.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: You can go to a space where you can expand your hive which lets you put like this extra little piece to your hive out there so you you can keep filling it up after your like, base hive is filled up and you can also get your workers back Once they've hibernated.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: Anyway, a lot going on.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: But those are the main spaces.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: You're going with your workers and as they upgrade to different levels, you can take more actions or take more powerful actions at each of these places.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: But when you get a level 4 worker, that's as high as it goes, and when you place that on one of the locations, there's a special level four worker ability that pops off and will get you even better benefits.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: So it's cool to get your worker upgraded, but then once that worker comes back, you don't get it anymore.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: That bee has grown up big and strong and now it needs to hibernate, so you lose that worker but you get to place one of these little hibernation bees in this like little bonus area at the bottom and that's kind of the timer for the game.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: Once enough bees have hibernated, the game ends.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: There also is worker bumping.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: So each of these action spaces, when your workers there, somebody else wants that spot, they can go there.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: They bump your worker back to your worker pool and when your worker comes back it upgrades to the next level.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: So you're kind of like managing these workers, upgrading them, going to these different spots.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: But man, I this game is so satisfying.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: It's like everything you do feels good.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: It's almost like Castles of Burgundy in that way.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: You're just constantly doing things that feel so overpowered and I didn't even talk about it.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: There's these freaking seed cards that you can go.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: There's another worker spot where you can get these seed cards and these things are like every one of them seems game-breaking too, like those tiles.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: Again, this lots of good feeling stuff in this game.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: Like these seed cards, you can either just spend them as a wild resource or you can plant them in your hive and they score like end game points for you, or they have an ability on it that's like bogus.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: So you can use them for any of those three things and all of it feels good.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: There's these golden tiles in the middle that have these awesome end game scoring opportunities, but you can only get them with a level four, worker B.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: But anyway, I mean it's pretty straightforward when you're actually playing it.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: I might make it sound more complicated than it is, but I mean yeah it's a game that just is constantly rewarding you and everything you do feels broken, like all your abilities that you have.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: Like everybody starts with their own faction ability and you're like, well, that's really good.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: And then you look at your opponent over there and they're like, oh my God, are you allowed to do that?
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: And they're like, yeah, look at that so it.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, are you allowed to do that?
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: And they're like, yeah, look at that, so it.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: You know it might be a little swingy and not necessarily balanced all the time, but it always feels good when you're playing it and you're you're finding these cool combos and doing it.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: I think this, honestly, this might be my favorite stonemaier game at this point wow, yeah, is this, um, is this one that becomes really unbalanced when you're playing with more inexperienced players?
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: It sounds like, if you know how to take advantage of some of those steps and the player abilities and unique areas that you're adding to your hive, that you would just, you know, completely demolish somebody.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: That's brand new to the game.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: I would say for your average gamer probably, but for me I had played it a few times and then I played it with Jared and he absolutely demolished me.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: So your mileage may vary based on the engineer that you're playing with, but yeah, it's good.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: I did have fond memories of it.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: I do remember like rolling the little bee around to yeah, is that how you make sure what level it is?
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yep.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I was all about it.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: You build Again.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: It's like you're building your little engine.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: You're placing little workers.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: So, that's the farm tiles.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: That's the strategy I went with this.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: Last time I just got a bunch of green tiles and then every time you call all your bees back from the board, you can activate all of your green tiles.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: For every bee you have that you bring back, you can activate one green tile.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: So I was getting all these green tiles that would just give me points every time they were activated.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: And so you know, at the course of the game I probably got like 20 points by activating these four different green tiles.
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: That ended up giving me points.
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: But yeah, again, so much, so much fun.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: I played it once at four players, and this is a common theme for me Four-player games sometimes just take too long.
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: So I think at two players it's awesome.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: It scales well because the backside of the board is a two or three-player side and then the front side is four or five players.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: So I think you can have fun at all player counts.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: Just if you're playing with four or more, you're probably going to be sitting there north of two hours at a minimum is this available digitally?
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: um, not that I know of, but yeah, they just.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: They just came out with expanding the hive expansion, so that's now available too.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: I haven't gotten that, but from what I hear it just adds more crap, more special faction tiles, more awesome tile abilities.
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: So it seems like a no-brainer, if you like the base game, to just pick that up and add some more fun stuff.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Awesome.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: Debr brief complete, all right.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Ready to move on?
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Let's hit it Now.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: We're going to fall in on the mission objective, which is our 30 under 30, 30 board games under $30.
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: And we're going to describe them each in 30 seconds or less, because that's a lot of games to get through.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: We have a pretty solid collection, wide mix of varieties of games, different mechanics, and we're just going to go around the horn real quick and lay out each of our 10 games and we'll be in and out quickly and you have a solid list of games that, if you decide to invest in, you can go out and build a pretty banger collection for not too much money.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: So real quick.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: How did you guys go about deciding which games to add?
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Clayton?
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: So I did my best to try and get something that was a board game, meaning it had a board, and because I mean you can find card games and you know smaller games pretty easily around under 30.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: So I was trying to be like, hey, these things are just coming in right at 30 and they're a solid game that you would consider a board game with a board.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: So, no uno, right shooting.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: No, no, uh, pack of bicycle cards.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, board game with a board.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: No Uno, right, no Uno.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: Pack of bicycle cards.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, jared, how did you decide on which games to add?
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: I mean I was kind of a little fudgy here.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: I did also include maybe one that I got on sale at Target.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Use games on eBay.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: I mean maybe that's just a good strategy is like be patient, you're talking to the.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: You know what is it?
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Mcscrooge?
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: Is that the yeah, scrooge McDuck, scrooge McDuck here?
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: Just be patient, you'll find them on sale eBay.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'll talk about one of them and it was a sweet eBay find Also.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: I mean I was a fan of.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: I'm also a fan of games getting given to me this week.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: Actually, I don't know if this is a detour, but Deb Clay's stepmom sent me Blue Lagoon.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: I don't think you knew this.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: Travis, yeah, take that, so I got a free game.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: Scrooge McDuck gets a free game.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: The scrooge mcduck gets a free game every now and then.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Apparently, if you just complain enough on the podcast, you just start getting things sent to you.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, am I an influencer now?
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: Is that?
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: no, no, I think no, I'm speaking now directly to Deb.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: What?
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: the hell.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: That's awesome.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: She's always been a sucker for me.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: This goes back decades almost.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: At this point, Just kidding, Just kidding.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: Well good, I'm glad your collection got a little bigger.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: But also full disclosure.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: My homies here helped me fill out my list.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: So thank you to my homies.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: They're great people to to help you in a pinch.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: I'll say that we got you jared yeah, I think a lot of mine come in smaller boxes, because if I'm buying a smaller game or a cheaper game, usually I like it to fit nicely in some some boxes and not take up so much space.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: But I did find a couple that are slightly larger and, um some that are award winners.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: So I've got a pretty decent mix going on and we'll see what we end up with.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: So, who wants to start clay?
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: You want to go first with your very first game.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: Let's go okay.
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: Okay, so I got my clock up here.
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: My first one is going to be Calico.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: So this kind of started the whole flat-out craze with tile laying and scoring criteria.
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: Cute little cat-themed game where you're drafting these tiles and trying to get them to meet these certain scoring criteria and it just keeps getting harder and harder as the game goes on and your board gets tighter and tighter.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: It's a great game.
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: You can get it under $30.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: I saw it, google it, you'll find it.
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: But Calico, if you like tile placement, you can get it pretty cheap.
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: So if you like tile, placement you can get it pretty cheap.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: Nice Jared, all right.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: So a lot of these games we've already talked about as well, so you'd have to reference a previous episode.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: So I might be under 30 seconds, but it sounds like I'm already taking up my 30 seconds by talking.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: But Bonanza is my first one.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: A great, it's like a card collection, almost.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: I like to think of it, almost as Go Fish, but with trading.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: I talk about this game when I was in Korea.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: The beans are awesome.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: You're trying to plant your field, score your points and quick, easy, quick to pick up.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: So that's my first one, bonanza Travis, take us away.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: All right, my very first one is Splendor.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: Splendor is a great engine builder.
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: That makes for some really tense moments.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: You collect chips to buy cards.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: The cards count for chips later on, so you are building your engine slowly to earn points 's, some cool expansions that, uh, splendor has.
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: Splendor duel is also a great implementation of this instance.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: But you can get splendor and splendor duel, marvel, sprint, splendor, if you want for under 30 dollars hey, quick caveat here.
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: I I was thinking we should tell people where we saw this, but that's too much.
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: You can trust us that if this game's on our list, if you give it a Google, you will find it somewhere for under $30.
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: It might not be the first thing that comes up, but it will be there, so I'm not going to be like oh, this was on Amazon for $23 and 77 cents Like yeah, just Google it.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: We'll do a shout out at the end of like resources on how to find cheap games.
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but my next one is patchwork Halloween.
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: Some would call it Rosenberg's finest.
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: The Halloween edition was specifically the one I saw that was under $30, but man, talk about an iconic two-player game.
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: You're managing this time track grabbing these little patches for a quilt.
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: I guess it's not a quilt in the Halloween one.
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: I don't have the Halloween one, I have standard patchwork, but this game has gotten so many plays in our house as a quick two-player Tetris-type game.
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: Check out Patchwork Halloween if you don't have Patchwork yet, because you can get it pretty cheap.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: My next one is a bit of a stretch Quacks of Quiddlenburg.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: I did get this on eBay, but shout out to eBay.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: Sometimes your used games come with little perks like sweet 3D printed upgrades that were just in the box.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: So that was sick.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: But Quack Squidlenburg hopefully you can find it under $30.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: This one's a little bit.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: This one's a fun game.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: Push your luck.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: You're creating potions.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: There's a you know you got bags that you're drawing ingredients out of.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: So we're big suckers for bags on this podcast, that's for sure.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: But you just want to keep going until you push your luck.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: Maybe you boil over your pot.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: So that's my second one.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: All right, my number two game is Tussie Mussie Complete Collection with the pedigree of Elizabeth Hardgrave as the designer, published by Button Shy Games.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: This big collection is a I split you choose mechanic where you're trying to give flowers to your friends to score points.
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: Comes with all of the expansions and the complete collection and you can get this for like 18 bucks so super cheap.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: Just came out.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: It's awesome.
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: Awesome and in the time you guys were talking I remembered what I was going to say, despite our our McScrooge McDuck up there that likes to hunt the best deal.
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: If you have the funds, you know I still advocate for supporting your local game store, if you have one, and maybe spending three or four extra dollars there versus getting it for a discount on Amazon.
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: So if you are financially able, please support those friendly local game stores, but if not, you might get better deals there yeah.
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: And if not, and you want freaking board games for under $30, do what you got to do, all right.
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: My next one is Harmonies.
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: It's a newer game, a little abstract nature-themed game.
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: They're in vogue lately but Harmonies is super cool, great production.
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: It has these sweet little tiles you're laying out on your board, stacking them, so it's got great table presence.
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: You're trying to create habitats for these different animals to score points.
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it gave me real Cascadia vibes, but it definitely plays a lot quicker than Cascadia and I think it looks nicer on the table.
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: I was surprised you could get this one for under $30.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: Nice Next is Ahoy.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: This is, I mean, if you like, dead Reckoning, that thing's probably what $1,000.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: I'm not even sure, but this one's definitely closer to $30.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: Pirate-themed game where you're interacting between different factions.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: Pirate-themed game where you're interacting between different factions.
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: You're going around trying to deliver packages or blast each other, roll and die.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: So there's lots of good luck involved, lots of good engagement, asymmetric.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: You're building the board game as you go, as you're traveling into the darkness to discover new lands, and Clay's really good at it too.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: So there's a plus side to that one.
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: That's only because you guys focus on killing each other and I just smuggle Next.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: All right, my next one is Hive and Hive Pocket Edition.
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: This is a two-player only tile placement strategic game and super simple mechanics.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: You're just placing tiles and you're trying to pin in the opponent's queen bee.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: The Hive Pocket edition comes in this nice little baggie that's super portable and it comes with all the expansions under $30.
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: Dang.
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, hive's a great one.
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: My next one is Marvel United, the base game.
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: You can get this thing for like 20 some dollars on Amazon or other places.
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: But Marvel United is one of my favorite co-op games great family game and for that price I mean in the base game you're getting these nice chibi minis and you're getting an awesome game that if you enjoy it.
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: There is endless opportunity to expand upon that base game.
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: But I still think with just the 20 something dollar version base game you can have plenty of fun cooperative times with the family.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: Nice, dice Miner is my next one.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: Again, I love the die.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: I think we've already talked about this game before in the past, but lots of interaction.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: You get to cheers each other by throwing die to kind of throw people off your scent a little bit.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: But you're collecting die, scoring points that way and re-rolling between rounds, so it gives it a new feel every time between rounds.
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: So really enjoy it.
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: I also like the player abilities that make it simple but fun to play.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: My next one is Jaipur, which is about trading and selling goods and camels in a market and you are trying to collect sets to sell to the market to gain points.
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: And if you sell larger sets of cards that are different colors, you get bonus points that are hidden.
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: You might get 10 points, you might get two points and the idea is to have the most amount of points at the end of three.
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: It's best of three rounds.
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: Super fast, easy two player game.
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: Next up for me is King Domino.
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: King Domino I overlooked it originally coming into board gaming.
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: It looked simple like a kid's game, but at the end of the day it's a super fun tile placement game where you're almost pushing your luck, trying to build out these sections of your kingdom big areas and hoping to get crowns in those areas so they end up scoring.
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: To get crowns in those areas, so they end up scoring.
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this game is great and it has now several versions, but the original version, king Domino, you can definitely grab for under $30, and you can play it with anyone and have a good time.
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: The Crew is an awesome co-op cooperative trick-taking game.
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: Really neat presence in space as you're trying to solve problems by playing your cards in a very specific way to make it past different levels.
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: And each level there's something a little bit new waiting around each corner, so this one's a classic, so a lot of people probably know about that one.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: But the Crew All right.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: My next is Forbidden the Forbidden series, but my favorite is Forbidden Desert.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: You have variable player powers.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: You are trying to search this grid of desert tiles sand tiles to reveal parts to an arrow ship that you are using to escape your imminent doom, and you are drawing cards that then increase the storm levels.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: The sand shift around.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: You're trying to keep everybody alive and get them out of the desert.
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: Super tense, super fun forbidden desert.
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: Next up for me is my City, which is one that came up on my top five games of all time.
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: So this is a great game.
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: Simple, another Tetris-y polyomino game, but it's a legacy game that evolves.
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: Every time you start a new game, there's new little rules that are introduced.
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: Each game takes like 15 minutes, so you can knock out the 24-game campaign in a pretty reasonable amount of time and for under $30,.
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: The amount of gameplay you'll get out of this it's mind boggling.
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: So my city.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: Kites is my next one.
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: This one's a lot of fun A lot of fingers, sweaty hands flying around.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: You're trying to flip the sand timers what is there like six of them and you're working together cooperatively to make sure that none of your six sand timers run out.
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: But each person has their own piece of the puzzle.
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: Each person has their own way to unlock it and you just have to work together to keep those sand timers flipping.
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: And you just have to work together to keep those sand timers flipping.
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, I've sweat plenty playing kites Huge fan of kites.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: That's my next one.
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that one's pretty new, came out within the last two years and pretty interesting, because each of the timers is different lengths so you have to keep the shorter timers flipping continuously and the longer ones you can let burn out a little bit.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: It's super interesting, super tense, great cooperative game.
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, mine next is boss monster.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: Boss monster by brother wise games.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: This is a game where you play as the baddie in a retro video game and you are building out your lair to attract not only the heroes in the village but to beat them before they get to you.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: The boss and each of the rooms that you're adding to your dungeon has different abilities and you're trying to build a system that is a trap for the heroes.
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: It's pretty cool, especially if you have any nostalgia for retro video games.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: Boss monster.
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: Next up for me is Azul, specifically Azul Mini boss monster.
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: Next up for me is azul, specifically azul mini.
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: I mean it's tight on the regular azul, whether you can get it for under 30.
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: It's usually coming in right around that price point on amazon but azul mini is definitely under 30 and it gives you all the same gameplay experience that you get in your full size azulul and it's more portable.
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: There's not much to say about Azul that hasn't been said.
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: It has become a ubiquitous game, even outside the hobbyist community.
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: So to be able to pick up a version of it for under 30.
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: I don't like that one because Mary kicks my ass too much in it.
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: She's super good at that one, yeah she's sneaky what you got now, Jared.
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: I got just one.
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: Love cooperative games.
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: Here's another great party cooperative game where you're trying to get people to guess a certain word and each person has their own opportunity to write down a clue.
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: But if any one person's clue matches another person's clue, they cancel out and they don't get to see that clue.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: So sometimes you're left trying to come up with the word chocolate with brown and delicious.
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's all you got, I don't know.
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, I could probably get it with Brown and Delicious, or I was thinking Gabe Martinez, oh my.
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: God.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: Cut that, cut that cut that.
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: No, that's standing.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: All right, my next is One Deck Dungeon.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: This game is a roguelike where you have a unique player ability and you are taking your character through a dungeon.
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: You can choose your own path and it's initially hidden to you.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: But as you complete challenges, as you overcome monsters, you can either add those cards as uh experience, an item or a skill, so you get to upgrade your player as you go through, and the idea is to get to the big baddie at the end and defeat them and still be strong enough.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: It's awesome, it's super.
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: It comes in a super tiny box.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: One deck dungeon published by Asmodee games.
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: Dang, you're throwing out publishers.
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: I was not that prepared, so my next one is canvas, which, if you like dead reckoning and you like card crafting, this has that in a much smaller package, much more affordable.
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: So you're trying to create paintings that meet certain criteria to score points, but in doing so you're drafting these see-through cards that you're sliding into the card sleeve.
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: So you're actually making these paintings as you're going through the game and drafting these different pieces of the artwork.
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: So even if you're not having fun scoring the points, it's still just fun building those little cards of paintings.
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: Quick game, easy to teach and I think it warrants a spot on the 30 under 30 list.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: Even a big Neanderthal like me can be artistic with canvas.
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: All right, my next one is that's so Clover, where players place words on a clover-shaped board and give clues to help others to guess the words and how they're connected, and they rearrange these words trying to solve this puzzle.
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: Similar to Just One.
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: It's fun, cooperative.
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: I just love when you get it right and you can just high-five all around on the table.
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: High energy, pretty easy to get to the table.
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: That's my next one.
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: Next one on my list I have gotten more play out of than probably any of these other ones, and that is Castles of Burgundy.
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: You can get a used copy of this for like five dollars.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: It's available all over the place for super cheap.
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: Now it's been published a thousand times.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: I know we're not talking specifically used games, but Castles of Burgundy is available in a thousand different publications and I have played this game a thousand different times.
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: So Castles of Burgundy has to be on the list because it's so readily available.
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: It's super cheap.
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a bit of a loophole there, but I it is true, and if you can get castle of Burgundy in any way, shape or form for under $30, you've made out, because that is a great if you look for Castles of Burgundy, you will find a copy that is under $30.
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: It just might be used, that's fair.
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: The next one on my list is a game that I bought for like $50 when it came out and now you can get it.
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: I just looked yesterday for 15 on Amazon and that is Red Rising by Stonemaier Games.
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: For whatever reason this game failed to really take off, but I still very much enjoy it.
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: It's based off fantasy realms like core system where you're trying to craft a perfectly symbiotic hand of cards that all work together to score the most points and on your turn you're drawing a card and discarding a card, and I mean that's the core of the game.
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: But in Red Rising it's based on the IP and has some beautiful artwork on the cards and they added some different elements with the board, some area control, some tracks that make it a little more meaty of a game than Fantasy Realms.
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: But you can pick this up for cheap and it's a good time.
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: All right Spots.
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: It's a light-hearted dice rolling game.
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: Dog themed Talked about this one before.
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: You can get little ones involved, people from six years old all the way to 99.
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: Roll and die so that you can place them on your dog cards.
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: Once you get six dogs, you win, and then there's lots of different ways you can play it.
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: You can change how you roll the die, which I'm sure there's like thousands of permutations of how you can select your actions, so each time you play it it can be slightly different.
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: Lots of fun spots.
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: My next one is actually a Spill Diaris winner, and that is Sky Team.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: Sky Team is a great two-player game where you are flying a jet into an airport and you're trying to land the jet successfully before you run out of fuel, overs the airfield, land with your gear not down and then you're going to hit the brakes and stop in time.
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: The permutations of this game, or the permutations this game takes as you continue to complicate the game with leaking fuel or or crosswinds or dangerous terrain, is always really interesting.
• 59:20
  Speaker 3: Sky Team is a great two-player game and still hot and still affordable.
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: I did not save the best for last, but I saved a really good one for last.
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: So, yeah, this game comes on sale a lot.
• 59:30
  Speaker 3: It's at Target.
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: It is Downforce a betting and racing game, and I don't think this game gets enough credit for how fun it really is.
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: You are drafting these cars that you own at the beginning, so you want them to win.
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: You play cards to move the cars around the track, but then you also get to bet on what cars you think are going to win.
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: That might not even necessarily be yours.
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: So there's a lot going on, but it's super easy to teach.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: You just play a card on your turn and move those cars.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: It gets overshadowed sometimes, but it is still a great game.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: My last one is Camel Up.
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: Believe it or not, I got this bad boy for $18 at Target.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 2: So this one is a betting game, with camels that race around a track in unpredictable ways, guys.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: So you can bet on who's winning and who's losing, and every single time you roll a die, you don't know what's going to happen.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: So lots of fun.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: It's actually pretty quick too, and you can play it with pretty high player counts.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: Awesome way to round out my 30 under 30.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: My final game is Honey Buzz.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: Honey Buzz is a worker placement game where you are placing people's yes, that's B poles with bees to trigger actions and build out your hive.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: You're collecting different uh pollens to make honey to sell, to continue to upgrade your hive, and it is super tense.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: You probably can't get the upgraded version of this for under 30, but the deluxe version with, like, the actual gummy honey feels so good.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: Some of those components are amazing, but honey buzz is a great uh tableau builder, worker placement game that is, uh, really exciting and really cool not as cool as my b game, apiary.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know, and not under 30 that's pretty cool, I think I just want to give a couple of shout outs for places where people can find these games for cheap.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: So there is a reddit thread called board game deals where people will tell you about all the latest sales that are going on in the board game world, to include deals of the day, hot games that are up for sale on amazon, different friendly local game stores sometimes.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: But if you have your eye on a game, you can set reminders or set notifications on red Reddit that will tell you when somebody posts in this thread about your specific game.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: That's a great opportunity.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: Board game deals, yeah, board game deals on Reddit Perfect.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: Then you have your big, at least in the US.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: You have your Target buy two, get one free that people take advantage of all the time.
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: You've got your barnes and noble that have their annual board game sale, typically in the summer.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: Those are great opportunities to find awesome games for pretty cheap.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: And then, finally, the best deal in board gaming is probably a board game arena subscription or tabletop simulator.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: Those are way too cheap for the amount of games that you can play on those things and they are constantly adding and evolving and you can get a lot of plays out of both of those systems.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: We we are going over the fence.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: Let's do it.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: Uh, clay, tell me what you've been doing outside of board gaming uh clay, tell me what you've been doing outside of board gaming.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 3: So my kids are munchkins in a wizard of oz production that is going to be taking up our next few weekends.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 3: I did not realize what all went into local theater and it is impressive the amount of time they put into these things.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 3: I mean this is just going to be a church, but I've been to all these rehearsals and the people like singing and doing all the main parts are awesome.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: And my kids I thought there was going to be like munchkins standing in the background just with like a cool hat on as background, but there's dances and they have like four songs they need to know.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 3: So I've had to learn these dances and I have been teaching them these munchkin dances in my free time, which is so embarrassing.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, we need to Twitch this.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: These are also going on our Twitch and we need to put it on the Instagram you guys want to see it quick.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, give us a little taste.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: I'll give you the ding-dong.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: The witch is dead, hold on.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: Your favorite one.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: Give you the ding-dong Listeners for your reference.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: He just got up and shimmied and shaked and he flapped his arms around and he kicked his legs and he is the perfect embodiment of all that is Munchkin.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: So thank you for that, clay.
• 1:04:37
