00:00:00
so that's it the year is over I think
00:00:03
it's still got like 15 days that's true
00:00:06
but it feels like the year is over
00:00:07
because we only have at the time of this
00:00:09
recording two more work days and then we
00:00:12
go for the long
00:00:14
sleep not that long the medium SLE did
00:00:17
you just sleep in a lot during Christmas
00:00:19
uh yes we have kids so so no but more
00:00:22
than usual which is great it's all I
00:00:25
need kids don't have to wake up at 6:30
00:00:26
to go to school I know exactly they wake
00:00:28
up at 7 that half hour is like
00:00:30
it's all I need it's all I need uh so
00:00:34
we're going to talk about our favorite
00:00:36
games that we played this year for the
00:00:38
time they might not be new technically
00:00:39
this year play many games as you do
00:00:43
because we're playing the games we're
00:00:44
trying to make yes so we're we're going
00:00:46
to talk about that we're just going to
00:00:48
reminisce being a little bit nostalgic
00:00:51
about this year of
00:00:53
2024 yep the problem is is when I look
00:00:56
back at the games we played together
00:00:57
it's most often in our games and you
00:00:58
just crushed me in our games this year
00:01:00
BR especially it's a great year so
00:01:02
that's that's not a good year um but
00:01:05
yeah and then we'll do some honorable
00:01:06
mentions and then uh and then we'll let
00:01:08
you all go enjoy your uh your
00:01:09
Christmases yeah or other any other
00:01:13
holidays you may be celebrating um and
00:01:17
yeah you got any plans you used to do
00:01:19
you used to do New Year's Eve parties
00:01:21
and Austin used to always try to get me
00:01:23
to his New Year's Eve parties I threw
00:01:25
bashes they were huge they were awesome
00:01:28
that you were only an hour and a half
00:01:29
away and you didn't come once did I ever
00:01:31
come no you didn't come once feels like
00:01:32
I invited you four years in a row it
00:01:34
feels like you came and now we're old
00:01:36
and have kids I am Stephanie and Ryan
00:01:38
are coming you can come over if you want
00:01:39
it's not going to be a bash I don't know
00:01:41
what we're doing yet so no I I doubt
00:01:43
it's going to be a big thing we might be
00:01:44
Pennsylvania from oh you definitely
00:01:45
should yeah I mean that would be that
00:01:47
would be a drive it' be a lot longer
00:01:48
than an hour and a half uh someday I'll
00:01:50
make it to your New Jersey party Austin
00:01:51
the old age home I am banking on us
00:01:53
playing games and throwing nearest
00:01:55
bashes in the old age home so I'm busy
00:01:57
that night though um years from now I
00:02:02
got a different party to go to oh man
00:02:05
okay so this year this year we launched
00:02:07
more games than we had in the previous
00:02:10
three years yes we did uh which was a
00:02:12
lot it was a lot um we did well I guess
00:02:15
Tech technically was last year I was
00:02:16
going to say Moon rollers so it's
00:02:17
technically not true but we did build
00:02:19
fate expansions yes we did a a small
00:02:22
expansion for fractured Sky mhm maybe
00:02:25
some more coming on that later and then
00:02:27
uh we had Brink yes and then we did 10
00:02:30
yeah a great year do you are you allowed
00:02:32
to talk about your favorite is that like
00:02:33
picking your favorite kid I mean I I
00:02:36
think Brink is my favorite of our games
00:02:38
well no tend is probably my favorite you
00:02:40
know like it's just like I don't know I
00:02:41
I think tend is our best game but if you
00:02:44
sat me down you're like do you want to
00:02:45
play Brink or tend I think I would
00:02:46
choose prink tend is so fun though it's
00:02:49
impossible to pick I can't I can't do it
00:02:51
they're so different they're not even
00:02:53
close to the anyway we don't need to
00:02:54
tutor on horn let's talk about other
00:02:55
people's games yeah uh well first of all
00:02:58
I also wanted to say oh this wasn't the
00:03:00
big big difference for you but this was
00:03:02
this marks one year for me of not
00:03:05
directing commercial work that's true um
00:03:07
so I used to be a commercial animation
00:03:09
creative director and that used to be a
00:03:11
big focus of our business we um spun
00:03:13
that off as hey neighbor um which our
00:03:17
good friends and uh former co-workers
00:03:19
Nate and Rachel are doing that um and
00:03:21
this marks about a year where um I've
00:03:24
I've now I've been full-time making
00:03:25
games so it it feels it's really fun I'm
00:03:28
really stoked and blessed to be able to
00:03:31
to do that um people have asked me how
00:03:33
have you guys upped production so much
00:03:36
and there's no way we could have done it
00:03:38
there's no way we could have done it
00:03:40
when you were doing commercial work yeah
00:03:41
no I miss I miss um we have you know had
00:03:45
very wonderful clients I miss those
00:03:47
people but I I much I I prefer you as as
00:03:50
our client despite the angry Instagram
00:03:53
comments okay but also you don't get
00:03:56
like messages on Thursday before
00:03:58
Christmas hey I need this change that I
00:04:00
didn't tell you about and I need it done
00:04:02
in the next 24 hours I know but that
00:04:04
happened several Christmases ago but I
00:04:06
do get people telling me I look like
00:04:07
Louis CK and all the time what is which
00:04:10
is worse really I mean if you just don't
00:04:14
read the comments this is definitely
00:04:16
better you know I post our Instagram
00:04:19
stuff so I read comments stuffs now see
00:04:23
if I this is a St S effect now people
00:04:25
are just you made a mistake this is a
00:04:27
huge mistake Z started saying if I had
00:04:29
my brothers and so I started saying hey
00:04:34
Sam can you ban Zach from saying that
00:04:36
cuz I really hate it and now everyone on
00:04:38
the team says if I had my brothers to me
00:04:40
just don't bring up things you're not a
00:04:42
fan of because then people just ruin
00:04:43
your life if I had my brothers no one
00:04:46
would say I look like Louis CK
00:04:48
anymore um I have never said that one I
00:04:52
don't think you look like L CK but other
00:04:55
than
00:04:56
that yeah yeah anyways let's about you
00:05:01
also get what's the musician's name bone
00:05:03
oh I get it like uh the all the gingers
00:05:05
all any red head people have said I've
00:05:08
looked like that so Swanson no no uh Ron
00:05:12
Ron from Harry Potter oh yeah yeah I've
00:05:14
gotten that I've gotten bony be I've
00:05:16
gotten who's the super famous uh
00:05:18
Ed yes I get that a lot I don't come on
00:05:22
people come on be more original come on
00:05:25
okay all right what's your what's your
00:05:27
game of the year okay I don't I don't
00:05:29
have okay
00:05:30
we didn't play the hot all the hot games
00:05:33
so here here's the problem I've started
00:05:35
I I feel like I'm pickier now not that I
00:05:37
think there are bad games it's just like
00:05:38
we spend all these time all this time
00:05:40
just making the very specific type of
00:05:42
game that we like and now I'm just like
00:05:44
well I would change that not that say
00:05:46
that like my change would be better than
00:05:48
what the game is it's just like better
00:05:50
for you yeah better for me specifically
00:05:52
so now we just like hand curate games
00:05:54
that we love and so it's like it's hard
00:05:56
to like uh it it just made me more picky
00:05:59
of just like oh you I might change that
00:06:02
our job me you and Max and sometimes
00:06:04
other people working together on a zoom
00:06:07
call is to nitpick things we don't like
00:06:09
and fix it Y and it's really hard to
00:06:11
come out of that mode because I'll be
00:06:12
playing a game be like oh man I wouldn't
00:06:13
have done it this way and then I have to
00:06:15
be like oh I hope no one heard that uh
00:06:18
cuz it's just like you you have to
00:06:20
develop your taste in order to design
00:06:22
games and that doesn't mean other games
00:06:23
are bad and in fact sometimes a game
00:06:25
just really surprises you and you're
00:06:26
like I wouldn't change a thing about
00:06:27
this do you have any of those oh yeah I
00:06:30
mean I but from this year from this year
00:06:32
yeah I mean those are going to be my top
00:06:34
games wouldn't change any so I've got my
00:06:37
my like these are just like games that
00:06:38
we played this year that we loved yeah
00:06:40
pick a top two and then do some
00:06:42
honorable mentions I'm fun with that
00:06:44
yeah um so I'll go first um my top one
00:06:50
of my top two is a smaller little game
00:06:54
it's not that hot of a take because want
00:06:56
a Spiel it' be Scout yes wow yeah I
00:07:00
liked it fine but it wasn't like o yeah
00:07:03
we played it a lot on my family vacation
00:07:05
with my family I thought it was a really
00:07:08
easy teach they loved it I loved it I
00:07:11
feel like there's this really nice
00:07:12
element where I just love the the
00:07:15
pushiness like the almost push your luck
00:07:17
element of like trying to draw into your
00:07:18
hand to make this amazing huge run I
00:07:21
love the thrill of being able to pull
00:07:22
that off and then also the pain of not
00:07:25
pulling it off and just getting stuck
00:07:26
with a bunch of points it's a very fun
00:07:28
Push Pull uh yeah I it's small but I
00:07:31
love it my family game was Trio this
00:07:33
year and Trio would get an honorable
00:07:34
mention for me okay I would much prefer
00:07:36
to have NaNa which is I think the
00:07:38
Japanese original version so if you have
00:07:40
a link to where I can buy Nana I'm I'm
00:07:41
here for it uh there's also apparently
00:07:43
Nana Christmas which I don't know why I
00:07:45
don't think it's any different um we
00:07:48
should make Christmas themes of all of
00:07:49
our games Christmas failed fate we just
00:07:51
put Santa hats on everybody it's great
00:07:53
that would work bill bendo could wear a
00:07:55
Santa hat for sure yeah uh it's a deck
00:07:58
builder but you're drafting
00:08:00
reindeer that's a game that's a game if
00:08:03
you find Rudolph you win he'll guide
00:08:05
your sleigh at
00:08:07
night I don't know how that all right
00:08:09
I'm going to cut that off uh one of my
00:08:11
top games of the year should not be a
00:08:13
surprise to people that know me because
00:08:14
I love Lord of the Rings and I already
00:08:17
loved Seven Wonders duel and Lord of the
00:08:20
Rings duel obviously came out I got to
00:08:21
play that with Devon a couple of weeks
00:08:23
ago and I loved it Devon from Devon
00:08:26
talks tabletop and from Lucky Duck yes
00:08:29
he he was in town for a flight and we
00:08:31
hung out and played and it was very very
00:08:34
good and I'd been trying to play it at
00:08:36
cons for like 3 months and I would sit
00:08:38
down with it and then someone else would
00:08:39
be like hey what we play it and it's a
00:08:40
two-player game so you're not going to
00:08:41
be like you can't play with us and so
00:08:43
we'd put that away and get something
00:08:45
else out so I had never played it until
00:08:46
then and it was it was it lived up to my
00:08:48
hype expectations because it was Seven
00:08:50
Wonders duel with Lord of the Rings on
00:08:53
top of it in a way that made it feel
00:08:55
like Lord of the Rings not just a bad
00:08:56
version or worse version of 7even
00:08:57
Wonders D so still still going to play
00:08:59
we should play it sometime it's it's in
00:09:01
my bag out there all right so we'll play
00:09:02
it what you got next my other of my my
00:09:05
top two new to me games okay this year
00:09:08
would be skyrise I really enjoyed it oh
00:09:11
I I liked it too but it's definitely not
00:09:13
it's not my top wow I thought you were
00:09:15
going to say the gang no no no that's an
00:09:17
I I have I have some thoughts about the
00:09:18
gang but okay skyrise is elegant it's
00:09:23
got It's got a lot of good uh pieces we
00:09:26
got the deluxe version of course we did
00:09:28
it's beautiful it's beautiful um love
00:09:30
love love me some bidding is that roxley
00:09:32
they always do good stuff I think so
00:09:34
love me some bidding um it it it it kind
00:09:37
of scratches a similar itch of like
00:09:38
foundations of Rome to me um but like
00:09:42
kind of in in a fun new package this
00:09:43
like it's has this traveling bidding me
00:09:46
mechanism where you're placing like
00:09:47
progressively taller buildings and then
00:09:49
like it has this weird not area control
00:09:51
but it's like the the board State really
00:09:53
matters it's it's very interesting it's
00:09:55
like where you are on the board matters
00:09:57
but it's also a progressively higher
00:09:58
bidding game
00:09:59
um very clever core mechanic and I think
00:10:02
it doesn't get too busy for its premise
00:10:06
like I think it's like it's very well
00:10:09
tuned um a very well tuned game um and I
00:10:13
really enjoy it so I my next choice I'm
00:10:19
a little torn I think that I'm going to
00:10:21
choose a game called star Tycoon did you
00:10:23
play this
00:10:25
um no okay star Tycoon we got at Gen Con
00:10:30
nice and I played it again at packs
00:10:33
unplugged oh yeah I saw you playing that
00:10:34
looked cool and it's just like uh an
00:10:37
open market like you buy and things get
00:10:39
you know more expensive you sell and
00:10:40
things get cheaper and like you have
00:10:42
special abilities and you're you're D
00:10:44
like you're getting planets and and
00:10:46
factories and all this kind of stuff and
00:10:48
I just really think it's it it hits the
00:10:51
right marks for me of like I have my
00:10:53
turn I have this many actions like you
00:10:55
just you have a big set of actions you
00:10:57
could take you get take three of them so
00:10:58
you're just like okay I'm going to do
00:10:59
these three things boom boom boom I'm
00:11:01
done if you get the right group you can
00:11:02
play pretty Snappy um now PA at 1:00
00:11:06
a.m. was not very Snappy but that that's
00:11:08
just packs at 1 a.m. I don't think
00:11:10
that's the game's fault so um but yeah I
00:11:12
was a big fan of it I really really
00:11:13
liked it if you like market economy type
00:11:15
games I think that's a really great one
00:11:17
to pick up yes all right moving on to
00:11:20
honorable mentions now do we have any
00:11:21
crossovers I don't know I think you have
00:11:23
the gang right I do have the gang but
00:11:25
talk about your quals with the gang cuz
00:11:26
the gang is also my honorable I like the
00:11:28
gang to me is like is is it would have
00:11:32
made it into my tops if like I so the
00:11:36
gang if you're unfamiliar it's pretty
00:11:38
simple PR premise you're playing Texas
00:11:40
holdom uh and you uh are trying to it's
00:11:44
a co-op game and you're basically trying
00:11:45
to order without showing each other the
00:11:47
two cards that you have you're trying to
00:11:49
like properly order your strength of
00:11:52
hands by taking taking chips saying like
00:11:54
I have the best hand and then you got to
00:11:56
like figure it out just based on what's
00:11:58
comes out I think it's amazing I think
00:11:59
that that like is such a clever concept
00:12:01
it builds a game that like most people
00:12:03
know um my only qual with it is like
00:12:06
some of the like it adds these like
00:12:07
difficulty or like easier modifiers and
00:12:10
I think some of them are just not super
00:12:13
interesting and or just like ones where
00:12:15
I'm just like I wouldn't play with that
00:12:17
I would just rip that one in half yes so
00:12:20
background changing was
00:12:23
that
00:12:27
who I want I think someone's messing
00:12:29
with us hold
00:12:31
[Laughter]
00:12:49
on well Lily was screwing with our
00:12:53
screens
00:13:03
well while you're not
00:13:07
here I don't have anything to say happy
00:13:10
merry holiday Christmas K Quanza I
00:13:14
didn't say k Quanza earlier that's the
00:13:15
one I
00:13:17
missed
00:13:18
uh the end of the year is relatively
00:13:21
boring I'm doing that reporting right
00:13:23
now there's a lot of things about making
00:13:25
board games that is not very glamorous
00:13:27
taxes is definitely the worst first one
00:13:30
well taxes and international shipping
00:13:32
are up there those are annoying what's
00:13:35
the best part of making games the
00:13:38
community that we built on Discord
00:13:41
during the pandemic and then that became
00:13:44
real life friends at cons and things
00:13:46
like that I think is my favorite part of
00:13:47
making games second part is probably
00:13:49
just making games making games is very
00:13:52
fun uh getting work with Zach it's
00:13:54
really fun we've been friends for oh
00:14:04
gosh it's almost 20 is that right
00:14:07
there's no way it's almost 20 years we
00:14:09
met in
00:14:14
2008
00:14:17
2008 why can't I math right now 16 years
00:14:22
16 years me and Zach have been friends
00:14:24
for 16 years making games together for
00:14:27
five years
00:14:31

00:14:37
talking about our friendship I don't
00:14:38
know oh wow am I that in there no I
00:14:41
spent like 10 minutes trying to figure
00:14:42
out how long we've known each other I
00:14:43
think it's 16 years is it really that
00:14:47
long 2008 right a friendship can
00:14:52
drive it's 2008 right yeah and it's 2024
00:14:55
almost
00:14:56
2025 wow so that's 17 years almost it's
00:15:00
a lot of years yeah they can drive now
00:15:02
our friendship yeah they can almost vote
00:15:04
I wouldn't
00:15:07
that's they shouldn't let our friendship
00:15:09
vote no no definitely not that's
00:15:11
election
00:15:15
fraud go
00:15:17
back
00:15:19
um you were talking about the gang and
00:15:21
how you hated it oh I did I know I love
00:15:23
the gang and it's like it like honestly
00:15:25
it's like it's like so close to a
00:15:27
perfect tin that it makes me makes me
00:15:29
mad cuz I'm just like it's like I love
00:15:31
playing it so much and like I almost
00:15:34
want to like build another game on top
00:15:35
of it which would be so fun but anyways
00:15:37
by the gang it's amazing all right have
00:15:39
you played Loop and Louie no Loop and
00:15:41
chewy no or keep upy you making this up
00:15:45
right now KB is for Bluey yes so it's a
00:15:48
game where you have three things and
00:15:50
like little paddles and there's a
00:15:52
balloon or a plane or a Millennium
00:15:54
Falcon that goes around in a circle on a
00:15:55
motorized thing and you hit a a paddle
00:15:57
and it pops up the thing and it stops it
00:16:00
from hitting one of your markers and so
00:16:03
your goal is to have the other people's
00:16:04
markers all fall before you fall yes my
00:16:07
kids love it that's fun they love it I
00:16:09
don't even know if I'd put it into board
00:16:11
game category cuz it's almost like that
00:16:12
like you know the face whipped cream
00:16:15
slapping game it's like Falls almost
00:16:17
into that category for me uh but it it
00:16:20
is very fun and it's Bluey themed so
00:16:22
kids instantly loved it um other than
00:16:26
that I have two games that I thought
00:16:28
were very very good I know you didn't
00:16:30
love one of them as much as I did and
00:16:31
then you haven't played the other one
00:16:32
okay first one is a euro called Stevens
00:16:35
not Stevenson's rocket okay it's just
00:16:38
called Stevens now the worst thing about
00:16:40
this game is the title for me I I was at
00:16:43
the ye house uh and they were like Hey
00:16:46
we're going to play a game called
00:16:47
Stevens and I was like oh yeah
00:16:47
Stevenson's rocket they're like no no no
00:16:50
Stevens and I was like is it a Euro and
00:16:51
they're like yes and I was like but it's
00:16:53
not okay okay and so I get there it's
00:16:57
about making glass in I think Portugal
00:17:00
or somewhere in Europe and I loved it it
00:17:04
was really good it was just like very
00:17:06
classic Euro I can't really explain it
00:17:09
more than you were just like
00:17:10
piggybacking actions like you could like
00:17:12
there were like core actions that could
00:17:14
be taken but then you could put tokens
00:17:15
off to the side and everyone could and
00:17:17
every time someone took that action you
00:17:18
got to take the whole train of actions
00:17:20
but only the ones in your color and so
00:17:22
like if I went here I would give myself
00:17:24
bonus actions but I might also give you
00:17:25
bonus actions there's lots of like
00:17:26
piggybacking actions which was cool
00:17:28
that's cool um I like that a lot and the
00:17:30
other one was andras Edge I love space
00:17:32
games I know you love space games I
00:17:34
liked andras a lot uh I thought it was a
00:17:37
beautiful production I thought it was an
00:17:39
excellent game um we played it at
00:17:41
Tennesse game days didn't we we did yeah
00:17:43
I'm getting too old too old for long
00:17:45
games too old for the big games yeah I
00:17:48
just you are older than me I am older
00:17:50
than you I'm I'm just too old next year
00:17:53
check in to see if I'm still playing ti4
00:17:56
um I only played it once this year
00:18:00
yeah yeah I don't know I I think it's
00:18:02
just like the time the time commitment I
00:18:04
like I I like them like I enjoyed it I
00:18:06
had a great time um but it just like
00:18:09
yeah yeah that that that's like a big
00:18:10
factor to me in my like top list was
00:18:12
very short I know it's got like lots of
00:18:14
short games so my other two honorable
00:18:16
mentions one would be Sky Team reason
00:18:18
why it's not in my like top two is just
00:18:20
cuz I'm not like I wouldn't say I'm like
00:18:22
dying to play it again but I think it is
00:18:24
it is just so well executed I think it
00:18:26
has a very like feels thematic yeah like
00:18:29
the theme the art execution like
00:18:31
everything about it just like works so
00:18:33
well it's just like you are trying to be
00:18:35
a co-op um you're trying to land a plane
00:18:38
can't talk to each other you can't talk
00:18:39
to each other it's just super clever um
00:18:42
and yeah it's just like a very cohesive
00:18:44
very specific um type package of a game
00:18:48
that I just yeah I think it fires on all
00:18:49
cylinders and and it's wonderful I
00:18:51
wonder if Pilots got that game and they
00:18:52
played it and they're like this is
00:18:53
really thetic like why can't we talk to
00:18:55
each other honestly talk to each other
00:18:57
in a I don't understand don't worry
00:18:59
about that don't worry about that don't
00:19:00
worry about that uh and then my other
00:19:02
honorable mention I just played uh it's
00:19:05
a little bit too mean to be my like top
00:19:07
but it would be Senators Oh I thought
00:19:09
you were going to say that game that
00:19:11
Aaron and Max played at Pax it's got a
00:19:15
weird name oh oh yeah know I don't know
00:19:19
I didn't play that um but anyway
00:19:21
Senators it's like is is a very
00:19:24
interesting game where you're
00:19:27
you're you're trying it's like Roman
00:19:29
themed and you're you're trying to gain
00:19:32
more power in in the senate or gain more
00:19:34
Senators but it's very strange because
00:19:36
like you'll like winning the game is
00:19:38
like you'll get like two more points
00:19:39
than you started with you're like very
00:19:41
often losing points you're very often
00:19:43
like everything about the game is like a
00:19:46
little bit mean and a little bit feels
00:19:48
bad but because everything is mean and
00:19:49
everything feels bad it's like not as
00:19:52
bad so I I liked it because it made me
00:19:54
like some elements in a game that I
00:19:57
normally wouldn't like I don't usually
00:19:59
like take that and I don't usually like
00:20:00
feels bad but like because it's like all
00:20:03
a little bit that way when did you play
00:20:05
this I played it like last night of
00:20:07
packs okay that doesn't explain anything
00:20:09
I was like I was about to be like this
00:20:10
explains everything cuz this whole year
00:20:13
Zach is trying to be putting murder into
00:20:15
our board and like we're working on run
00:20:18
one right now where you have like cubes
00:20:20
and regions and for the longest time you
00:20:22
couldn't move or mess up anyone else's
00:20:24
and Zach would just be like I want to be
00:20:25
able to murder that cute me and M like
00:20:27
Zack you need to calm down we need to
00:20:29
talk about this and I was like this game
00:20:31
describes exactly where he got that but
00:20:33
no it was too late there's still time
00:20:35
there's still time we'll get some
00:20:37
killing into that
00:20:39
game um but anyways they're already dead
00:20:44
Zack all right well we talk about next
00:20:46
year yeah a little bit um we've already
00:20:49
kind of announced the first one yes so
00:20:51
we're doing a game in March called
00:20:55
scales of Fate scales of Fate uh it is a
00:20:58
two two player game in the veiled fate
00:21:01
Universe um very excited about that we
00:21:04
are I am in 1 hour play testing the game
00:21:07
that we'll be launching in the middle of
00:21:09
next year yeah um it is code named
00:21:12
Kingdom ruler it will not be called that
00:21:14
it better not be um but uh I'm trying to
00:21:17
think like if we give what how much of a
00:21:18
teaser we give to that every time I've
00:21:20
tried to give a teaser to this the
00:21:21
person has been like I don't know what
00:21:23
you're talking about so I think we need
00:21:25
to craft that well we definitely do I
00:21:27
mean we just like we just kind of like
00:21:28
put the finishing like rounded out the
00:21:30
rules it's been at this like weird state
00:21:32
for quite a while where it's like we we
00:21:35
know the core of it is there but like we
00:21:38
have not gotten the functional details
00:21:39
of it and we finally got the like right
00:21:42
now we we were like oh it's at 120 it's
00:21:44
at 110% right now we need to shave like
00:21:46
just a little bit off but like we we've
00:21:48
got the bones very excited about it um
00:21:51
it's cracking me up how we started with
00:21:53
like an action card deck uhhuh and then
00:21:56
we went to like an action selection like
00:21:59
tile like thing and then we had an
00:22:01
action selection board and now we're at
00:22:04
action card drafting which is definitely
00:22:06
my favorite version yeah yeah no I it's
00:22:08
my favorite game we've ever made but I
00:22:10
think I say oh yeah you say that about
00:22:11
every game well I know but that's cuz
00:22:13
we're getting better at this it is
00:22:15
surprising for me to say that I love it
00:22:18
I think it's fantastic I don't know if
00:22:20
it'll Dethrone Brak for me okay well I'm
00:22:22
just saying okay so it's a card drafting
00:22:24
game um with like no we I'll pitch this
00:22:29
to you later it's it's hard it's hard to
00:22:30
talk about we're we're working on it
00:22:32
it's got It's got sillies siles
00:22:35
cylinders yes we started calling them
00:22:37
SES it's dumb it's dumb they won't be
00:22:39
called cylinders when when or that when
00:22:42
it's over but you'll know and you'll
00:22:43
call them siles yes and then uh we're
00:22:46
going to do a third launch at least in
00:22:49
the year we're going to um I know what I
00:22:50
want it to be but I'm not going to say
00:22:52
that yet uh because it's like we're just
00:22:54
starting to work on that game so and if
00:22:56
we get crazy we might do a fourth launch
00:22:58
yeah who knows or some direct to Market
00:23:00
stuff or some direct to Market stuff
00:23:02
