00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,640
What is up guys? 
And welcome to the Meatball 

2
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,000
Minded Podcast, the podcast 
where we talk all things 

3
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,080
tabletop gaming. 
My name is Jason. 

4
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,120
And I'm Ant. 
How are you doing this week, 

5
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:30,480
Sir? 
Very good, Sir, how we bet 

6
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,680
yourself. 
Oh, not too bad, thank you, Not 

7
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,640
too bad. 
I'm going to smooth my drink out

8
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:35,880
of the way. 
Yeah, no advertisement. 

9
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,480
No advertisement at all. 
We're not. 

10
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:41,840
Whatsoever. 
The same thing, but yeah. 

11
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,440
How have you been, Sir? 
All good Sir, been a lot of 

12
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,320
gaming this time it's. 
Been a hell of a lot of gaming. 

13
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,600
It's been great since since we 
got back from Expo. 

14
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,280
Absolutely. 
I got I. 

15
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,040
I had a bit of motivation 
yesterday as well and moved the 

16
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,720
studio around. 
Anyone watching can actually see

17
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,760
how much it's changed. 
We're trying something new. 

18
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,440
It's I feel a little bit better 
because I'm actually, I can see 

19
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:06,280
you. 
I'm not having to. 

20
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,120
Keep, you know, completely 
turning my head to see you 

21
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,480
around giving. 
Myself, a neck pain, you know, 

22
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,200
that kind of jazz. 
But yeah, let us know what you 

23
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,800
think, whether you like it and 
all that kind of stuff. 

24
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,960
I know the audio listeners don't
care. 

25
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:19,880
No, because of course they 
don't. 

26
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,600
Sounds exactly. 
The same then watch the YouTube 

27
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,160
then audio listeners. 
No, no, we still love you 

28
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,400
anyway. 
Spotify. 

29
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:25,720
Spotify. 
Yep, Yep, there you go. 

30
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,400
But yes, we have been playing a 
lot of games recently. 

31
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,800
So would you like to talk about 
maybe a couple of games we've 

32
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,160
been playing recently? 
Sure. 

33
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,120
The first one I really thought 
wasn't going to be good but was 

34
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,160
good was Timber Town. 
OK, yes, I really enjoyed Timber

35
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,480
Town. 
OK, nice. 

36
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,320
I mean that's a nice 
introduction and slide into our 

37
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,640
it is 2 player game later on. 
Of course. 

38
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,400
OK, we'll talk to him. 
But didn't make the list though,

39
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,240
so. 
OK, fair enough. 

40
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,880
Timber Town it's so weird 
because it it it just wasn't 

41
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,720
what I expected again I'm not 
very into the whole two player 

42
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,880
thing as much, but I don't know 
I I knew a little bit about it, 

43
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,600
but it was just better than what
I anticipated. 

44
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,360
It's quite easy to play, quite 
easy to follow, and once you get

45
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,440
the flow going and know how your
placement tile goes, it's 

46
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,160
actually quite infuriating. 
Like, do you remember when I 

47
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,520
said at the start, I feel like 
for this sort of game you need a

48
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:17,880
bigger player board? 
Yes. 

49
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,200
And it actually was fair enough 
player board to be honest to to 

50
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,480
what it was and how you did it. 
And. 

51
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:27,200
Oh, infuriating, but brilliant. 
Absolutely brilliant, Yeah. 

52
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:29,040
That's good. 
I'm really glad you enjoyed that

53
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,640
because obviously that was one 
of my Expo. 

54
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,920
Purchases it was, yes. 
Was very, very happy to actually

55
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:36,400
pick that game up and I was 
interested in that before we 

56
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,160
even went. 
Yes, to expect it was one of the

57
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,840
hot games for that UKG, wasn't 
it? 

58
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,160
Yes, yeah. 
I don't think it was like the 

59
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,760
hot, the hottest of the hot. 
No, no, it was in that list of 

60
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,560
the hot list. 
Fellowship and stuff. 

61
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:47,320
Like that? 
Yeah, exactly. 

62
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,760
Yeah. 
But yeah, Tim Town was. 

63
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,640
One of the go to the. 
Promoted prior to it and because

64
00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:57,320
you could pre-order it and then 
pick up at the show, it was one 

65
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,000
of those that I was like well I 
pre-ordered it. 

66
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,880
I didn't need to rush and get it
and pick it up until the Sunday.

67
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,400
I love when they do that. 
They it's such a great idea. 

68
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,000
It's. 
So good and I don't understand 

69
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,080
why they don't do it more often.
At least then that. 

70
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,320
I mean, it gives them a rough 
idea of how many copies they 

71
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,520
need to. 
Yeah, absolutely. 

72
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,760
You know, Oh well, we've pre 
sold this many. 

73
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,240
Well, we better have some more 
to sell as well. 

74
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,560
So yeah, I kind of hope more, 
more people do that. 

75
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,480
But yeah, Timber Towns, a 
really, really good game. 

76
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,520
And a very good purchaser like I
compared it better than River 

77
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,520
Valley Glass works and I'm 
sticking with that by the way, 

78
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,200
I. 
Know, I know we, I mean we 

79
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,680
differ on opinion on that just a
little bit, but mainly because 

80
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,440
there are some minor differences
to. 

81
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,160
It Oh yeah of. 
Course, I think the production 

82
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,760
wise of River Valley Glass Works
is absolutely. 

83
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:42,520
Of course. 
Yeah. 

84
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,160
Yeah, that's. 
I think there's more, somewhat 

85
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,200
more replay value to River 
Valley Glass, do you reckon? 

86
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:53,120
But I can't say that that 
detracts from Timber Town, OK, 

87
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,600
because Timber Town really is 
good and I would play it a lot. 

88
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,480
Yeah, especially with the 
different scoring cards you can 

89
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,840
put into it as well, which I 
don't think you can do in River 

90
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,360
Valley Glass Works, but I 
haven't played the expansion. 

91
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,880
I think expansion might do that.
But yeah, I mean that's, I mean 

92
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,640
that's probably an interesting 
conversation to be had there 

93
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,400
because there is replay value in
River Valley Glass works, yeah, 

94
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:20,040
but is somewhat required to have
that expansion should you want 

95
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:20,959
that. 
Yes, yeah. 

96
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:25,320
So whereas Timber Town, the 
replay value is there included 

97
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,360
in the box and it's 
substantially cheaper, yes, so. 

98
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,240
It's definitely cheaper. 
There you go. 

99
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:36,320
That's thought for food for 
thought, food for thought. 

100
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:38,800
But yeah. 
Is there anything else you want 

101
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:39,920
to say about Timber Town? 
Before night. 

102
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,840
Night that's. 
It OK cool good purchase Sir. 

103
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,880
So I've been playing so much 
recently. 

104
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,760
Yeah, so, so much. 
And to pick which ones I want to

105
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,560
to talk about on this one a few 
moments later. 

106
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,080
So we've played another game 
recently and the game I've 

107
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,560
wanted to play for a long time. 
OK, A very, very long time. 

108
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:06,000
And designer, Mr. Roy Calladay 
of of Dice Tower fame, which is,

109
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,640
of course, Last Light. 
Oh yes. 

110
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,920
Which is. 
Great books, games, your. 

111
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,360
Game Great Books Games. 
Yeah, apart from my terrible 

112
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,920
explanation of the rules and 
stuff, I I love Last Light. 

113
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,120
It's only the second time I 
played it, but I remember seeing

114
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,280
this at Essen 2023. 
Yes. 

115
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,160
And I I, you know, if you, if 
you know what Last Light is, 

116
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,360
it's basically a, a massive 
Galaxy board with what looked 

117
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:37,240
like huge marbles for planets 
and it's very striking table 

118
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,880
presence to it. 
And I was just like, oh, this 

119
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,760
looks great, but it also looks 
very intimidating for a game, 

120
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,440
doesn't it? 
But how easy is it to play 

121
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,560
Seriously so. 
From what I I guess the best way

122
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,120
to describe it is it's a 4X 
game. 

123
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,240
Yeah, without the longevity of a
4X game. 

124
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,640
Yeah, it's a very quick punch. 
Yeah, once you've got the the 

125
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,720
rules down, yeah and what the 
cars do exactly, because you 

126
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,400
will take your turn 
simultaneously as well. 

127
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,200
And yeah, like I say, everyone 
takes the turn in one and it's 

128
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,000
the first to 20, like 20, like, 
you know, first that player 

129
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,560
wins. 
But yeah, I just, I I love the 

130
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,520
design of it. 
I love the the the minis for it,

131
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,200
the cards, the alien, different 
races you can get the different 

132
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,000
mods you can get for your ships 
and stuff. 

133
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:20,560
It was a game I wanted for 
years. 

134
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,240
It did come out 2024, I believe.
And so Grey Fox had run out of 

135
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,680
copies. 
They redid a kick start for it 

136
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,560
and just how I got my copy for 
it in the end of the day. 

137
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,200
But yeah, I'm quite surprised 
that it was 1 you wanted. 

138
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,240
I never knew you wanted to play 
it. 

139
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,560
So very intrigued that. 
I've been interested in it since

140
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:41,840
since I first heard about and I 
I really liked the idea of it. 

141
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:46,040
Yeah, I, I will be honest and 
say when I first saw it, I was 

142
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,640
like, Oh yeah, this looks like 
this is going to be a slot. 

143
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,120
Yeah. 
Then of course it's it's about 

144
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,360
60 minutes play time. 
Yeah. 

145
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:54,400
OK, I can. 
I can. 

146
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,640
Go back to next time, it will be
anyway one. 100% the sort of 

147
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,800
level that I like to play and 
there was a decent amount of 

148
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,280
thought process to it getting 
round the sort of Lazy Susan 

149
00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:09,160
esque yes of the board where it 
rotates. 

150
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,800
Around Yeah, I love the yeah 
'cause like I said, you have to 

151
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,240
play cards to do your actions in
it. 

152
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,640
But then in order to get your 
cards back, you all need to play

153
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,360
well, you need to play a refresh
card to get your cards back. 

154
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,080
But when everyone does it, the 
ball rotates. 

155
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,000
So where you think your ship is 
in play for a certain thing you 

156
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,160
can do next play or actually. 
It's here now, quarter away 

157
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,840
around the board. 
And you're in, you're probably 

158
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,040
in some under of a dangerous 
territory where you can move 

159
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,240
your ship and start attacking 
me. 

160
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,960
So I just love the idea to it. 
It's again, simplicity of a Lazy

161
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,520
Susan, but yeah, so effective 
for your what your next turn's 

162
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,360
going to be, you know? 
And there was three of us 

163
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:42,560
playing the game. 
It was, yeah. 

164
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:48,560
And what I really enjoyed was 
seeing multiple different play 

165
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:53,040
styles on the go. 
You know, I managed to smash out

166
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,080
my my tiny little ships. 
Really. 

167
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,400
Yeah, yeah, well your alien 
ability was like if you if you 

168
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,720
can kill it, just pay a resource
and get it back straight away. 

169
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,400
It just. 
Goes back to the start. 

170
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,040
I don't. 
Very very OP ability, but great.

171
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,560
But then, you know, one of the 
first upgrades I got for my 

172
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,240
small ships were was obviously 
the supersonic. 

173
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:12,880
So you can move more. 
I was. 

174
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,960
Literally all I I built all of 
my small ships and straight into

175
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,160
the centre of the board and it's
like right, well, that's that's 

176
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,120
two every time we. 
And the problem is the other two

177
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,560
players, including myself wasn't
even thinking of that. 

178
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,480
We were too busy trying to mine 
and extract other planets where 

179
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,120
he was like no he's gone in 
there and he's gaining 5 light 

180
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,320
every time we refresh. 
So I. 

181
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,640
I spent the entire first turn, 
you know, I, I moved out 

182
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,240
slightly. 
I put down the sort of what was 

183
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:38,600
it like the excavators or 
whatever. 

184
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:43,000
The tractors and stuff tractors.
Yeah, so that I could, you know,

185
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,240
I could use the mine card, yes, 
which would give me all of the 

186
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,800
resources I need to be able to 
buy my ships back. 

187
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,720
Yeah. 
Should they die exactly. 

188
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,880
Which is like, well that's 
that's all the stuff I need. 

189
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,400
Good planning mate, honestly. 
I don't need to go to these 

190
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,560
other plannings that these guys 
are fighting for. 

191
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:02,200
I can just fly into the middle 
with my super fast ships, sit 

192
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,760
there, wait to be killed, spend 
the tiny amount of resources 

193
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,240
that I needed to get. 
And just get them back and then 

194
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:09,640
do it. 
Again. 

195
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:11,640
And then do it again. 
Yeah, You know, it would take me

196
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,880
a couple of turns to get back. 
In all fairness, yeah. 

197
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,480
Because you were like, I believe
I was like 7 lights, John had 10

198
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,240
light, you was on three. 
And how all of a sudden in the 

199
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,560
next two rotations of the board,
you were like, I've done 20 now.

200
00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:24,240
Game over. 
Yeah. 

201
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,080
And it's like, that's insane. 
So, yeah. 

202
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,360
But I'm glad you enjoyed it 
because I was always worried 

203
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,960
that my explanation of the rules
was a bit in there because it's 

204
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,720
only the second time playing it.
Yeah, so. 

205
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,280
But yeah, I'm sure. 
That we probably got a couple of

206
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,120
bits wrong. 
But there was one thing, there 

207
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,360
was one thing that was bugging 
us. 

208
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,280
And do you remember what I said 
about the range on the the car 

209
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,720
on the thingy? 
So the second range is on a 

210
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,320
promo card, which I have, which 
I haven't, which I haven't 

211
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,200
opened. 
So that's where we missed out on

212
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:50,920
it. 
There you go. 

213
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,240
And it was bugging us, so we was
doing it right. 

214
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:54,560
Yeah. 
The promo card is what makes you

215
00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:56,200
go further. 
I mean, that would be my sort of

216
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,600
one comment really for that 
game. 

217
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:03,120
And that is the I, I feel like 
the the different ships need to 

218
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,960
be a bit more different. 
Other than their size, yes. 

219
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,040
And their health, yeah. 
It's like, yeah, just because 

220
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,920
they're bigger doesn't mean 
they're going to, you know? 

221
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:11,640
It makes sense. 
Something that's going to be 

222
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,400
better about them is they're 
stronger. 

223
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,520
It takes longer to kill. 
Them it makes sense that the 

224
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,760
bigger ships are slower then the
smaller ones could be faster 

225
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,240
they could have done something 
like that yeah 100% yeah 100% 

226
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:21,520
the. 
Bigger ones should have longer 

227
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,240
range because they've got bigger
guns. 

228
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,680
Yeah, absolutely. 
You know, I would have liked to 

229
00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:30,200
have seen that a bit more in it 
or even just factions being 

230
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:31,160
different. 
Yeah. 

231
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:32,160
You know, so that. 
Yeah. 

232
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,760
All right. 
I had the alien race that could,

233
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,960
you know, just pay a resource 
and they got their ships back. 

234
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,880
That's my strength. 
Whereas you could have an army 

235
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,400
where it's like, Oh no, his his 
strength is, well, they're a 

236
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,080
heavy militarised force, so 
they're all about range guns. 

237
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,400
These ones over here are the 
shifty little. 

238
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,520
Well, John, John had the tech 
guys, didn't he? 

239
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,720
So he got like extra tech cards 
if he's on the research thing. 

240
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,520
So I'm assume it's all balanced.
But we again, it's only the 

241
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,720
first time we've played it. 
So if we played it more, we'd 

242
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,400
obviously get used to what the 
other alien factions doing stuff

243
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:02,920
so. 
And I definitely want to play 

244
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,160
that game. 
Again, Yeah, very, very shame. 

245
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:05,760
I'd like to see what James 
thinks of it as well. 

246
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,200
I think James can really enjoy 
that game. 

247
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,440
I think it'll take a little 
while to get his head around it,

248
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:10,760
but I think it'll do it 
definitely. 

249
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:16,240
So I guess at this point we can 
talk about some games that are 

250
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,200
in our top five, two player 
games of all time of all. 

251
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:26,280
Time. 
Now, before we dive into it, I 

252
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,440
think we need to lay some ground
rules. 

253
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,720
Yes, because this is what I was 
asking you on this one, because 

254
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,600
when you sent me the list, it's 
like is it this or is it this? 

255
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,960
So please explain so. 
The the, the basic premise 

256
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,720
around this list is First off, I
think we should both say that 

257
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,880
we're only really recently 
getting into two player games, 

258
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:52,840
yes, basically playing games at 
two player now and we have been 

259
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,960
playing a lot of dedicated 2 
player games. 

260
00:11:54,960 --> 00:12:01,560
But this list I feel doesn't 
need to be just dedicated to 

261
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:04,800
player games because there are 
some games out there that play 

262
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:09,080
best at two player. 
And that was my one rule to you,

263
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,360
wasn't it? 
Yes was. 

264
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,200
I don't mind you putting a 
multiplayer player count game 

265
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:20,240
in, but it has to play best at 
2, at least in your opinion. 

266
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,960
Yes, and we can have a 
discussion if I disagree. 

267
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,960
This will be interesting because
only only one of them is 

268
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,960
potentially a higher player 
account, but I think it plays 

269
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,200
best at 2 so. 
That's fair, that's fair, and 

270
00:12:33,560 --> 00:12:36,080
annoyingly, I found this this 
quite difficult to. 

271
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,600
Put honestly, because. 
You did it almost instantly. 

272
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:43,600
No, because I had I already had 
a so nogoli three of these in my

273
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,320
list or in my top ten of all 
time. 

274
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,880
Nice. 
So but the honorable mention is 

275
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,800
what I really wanted in this 
list was the issue because there

276
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,200
are some great honorable 
mentions I have for this for 

277
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:58,320
this list, and I'm sure yours, 
if you've got any as well, we 

278
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,000
can compare. 
But yeah, a lot of honorable 

279
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,280
mentions like I really want that
in there. 

280
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,560
But then this is kind of better 
two player and stuff. 

281
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:06,960
So it yeah. 
Hear me out on this though, OK? 

282
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:12,120
OK, well with that being said, 
ground rules have been laid. 

283
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:13,560
Yep. 
Are you ready, Sir? 

284
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:14,960
I'm ready. 
Let's do it. 

285
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,960
Let's do it. 
Top five two player. 

286
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:22,960
Games. 
So let's kick things off with 

287
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:29,760
#5. #5. 
So my #5 is the great pocket 

288
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,840
size 2 player game Radlands. 
OK, nice. 

289
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,640
Grab me some guzzling and pay it
by water Sir. 

290
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,880
I love me some Radlands. 
OK. 

291
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,320
Yeah, this was a game I did own 
for a long time. 

292
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,000
I owned like the the deluxe 
edition with the two player 

293
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,800
Madison staff. 
But I I absolutely love this. 

294
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,960
I'm a big fan of Mad Max itself 
and what better way to do this 

295
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:51,920
than with an actual two player 
card game. 

296
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,080
The little tokens you get with 
the water and stuff. 

297
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:59,040
So you're basically every time 
you're you have a term, you 

298
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,120
place a a mercenary into the 
board and the aim of the game is

299
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,480
to defeat the other players 3 
camps. 

300
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,120
I believe they've got 3 camps 
each three. 

301
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,680
Yep, Yep. 
So you're trying to basically 

302
00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:12,200
use these mercenaries to blow up
parts of it, but in order to get

303
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,120
these people onto your board is 
by paying water. 

304
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,280
So do you spend a turn to gain 
water so you can bring a bigger 

305
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,720
person onto the board next time?
You can pay for raids, which is 

306
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,240
essentially a card, but it's a 
little car, A card with the a 

307
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,200
car on it where your Raiders 
aren't able to go round the map 

308
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,360
and take the the the the other 
player from behind. 

309
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,760
Genius design, beautiful 
artwork. 

310
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,680
The colours on it are 
outstanding. 

311
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,200
I mean. 
It's a very striking. 

312
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,680
Game yeah, for a game that's all
about post apocalyptic Mad Max 

313
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,160
looking type world, which you 
would think is very brown, very 

314
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,840
beige and all that. 
The neon colours in this are 

315
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,600
just fantastic. 
And if you can ever get a hold 

316
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,240
of the deluxe edition, the play 
mats on it are phenomenal and I 

317
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,440
highly recommend them for a game
that you don't have to. 

318
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,760
The box is very, you know, on 
its own, small enough that you 

319
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,720
could take to a pub or a bar or 
something and play it. 

320
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,600
But if you really want to 
present this game then get the 

321
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,880
deluxe edition because it is 
highly worth it. 

322
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,840
And I just absolutely, 
absolutely love this as a 2 play

323
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:10,920
game. 
I wish I still had in my 

324
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,040
collection, but the time the 
time I had it, I wasn't really 

325
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,800
playing two player games even 
though I wanted to consider re 

326
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,960
buying it. 
But Radlands had to be on the 

327
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,640
list regard I'm not playing the 
expansion. 

328
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,360
I'd love to play it, but yeah. 
Nice, nice Radlands. 

329
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,920
So I will say at this point, 
Radlands is actually on my 

330
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,440
honourable mention. 
Is he on your red mention? 

331
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,320
OK, fair enough. 
Now, I haven't played this 

332
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:31,760
anywhere near as much as you, 
OK? 

333
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,800
Because the only person I knew 
that had it was was indeed 

334
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,040
yourself. 
But we, we played I. 

335
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,480
Think we did play a couple times
and yeah. 

336
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,400
And I really, really enjoyed. 
That yeah, yeah. 

337
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,800
When, when you actually sold it,
it was one of those games that 

338
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,960
I, I, I really wish I'd I'd 
taken. 

339
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,520
It off, yeah, I'm considering 
getting a game because we're 

340
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,080
back to playing two player games
that way, so I might consider 

341
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,440
getting. 
A game I'm rather enjoying the 

342
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,680
the intimate nature of playing 
two player yes totally. 

343
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,880
And Roundlands does actually 
really embody that intimate 

344
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,360
nature of, of the game because 
it is quite a, well, it is. 

345
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,120
It's to take that game. 
Yeah, 100%. 

346
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:07,000
It's 100% to take that game. 
But there's a, it's a surprising

347
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,080
amount of strategy in there. 
There is actually. 

348
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,840
Because yeah, it is literally 
playing cards and doing what it 

349
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,840
says in the cards, you know, But
do I bolster this? 

350
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,840
Do I attack here? 
Do I, you know, do I just hold 

351
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:21,720
these in defence? 
You know, all that kind of 

352
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,240
things. 
You've really got to plan a few 

353
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,760
turns ahead and then, you know, 
you've got to be able to react 

354
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,960
when your opponent inevitably 
throws that spanner in your 

355
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,680
works. 
And yeah, like I said, Radlands 

356
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,680
just has that all in abundance 
and such a small little box. 

357
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,400
Yeah, absolutely. 
You know it is a. 

358
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,640
Cards and tokens as literally it
is. 

359
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,960
Yeah, tokens in a tiny little 
box and it it's fantastic. 

360
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,280
Like the production on it is 
absolutely stellar. 

361
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,320
I've only played the deluxe 
though so I can't comment for 

362
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:57,200
what a retail version might be. 
It's the retail version is only 

363
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,320
like £20. 
The normal one, Yeah, but the, 

364
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,600
the, the the dark solution is 
literally the retail game 

365
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,440
without the play mats and nice 
little thing. 

366
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,400
Obviously because you play with 
water in this game, all the cars

367
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,920
in the game are water resistant,
which I think is a nice little 

368
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,599
touch as well. 
So if you ever go to the pub and

369
00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:15,800
play it and you spill on it 
doesn't matter, you're all good.

370
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,560
Go. 
And play it in the rain. 

371
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:18,240
Absolutely. 
Yeah. 

372
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,680
You guys the top five games that
you can play in the. 

373
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,280
Rain. 
Play in the rain, definitely. 

374
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,040
We're painting that that's 
that's got here. 

375
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:26,359
Yeah, yeah. 
Taking that guys. 

376
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,600
But yeah, Radland's really, 
really good choice. 

377
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,320
Thank you, man. 
I couldn't fault you on that. 

378
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:36,280
I I wanted to put it in my top 
five as well, but because I 

379
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,960
don't own the game and I haven't
played it quite as much, yeah, I

380
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,040
just felt like I haven't got the
right. 

381
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:42,760
Like I said, there was a few in 
here that could have taken that 

382
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,600
spot, but it's a game I miss 
playing. 

383
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,640
It's a game I miss owning. 
But I do remember really 

384
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:48,800
enjoying that game when I had 
it. 

385
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,240
So yeah, had to had to go on 
there. 

386
00:17:50,360 --> 00:17:56,440
Very nice. 
OK, so my #5 I am going to come 

387
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:01,360
in and I guess somewhat cheat a 
little bit, but I will be very 

388
00:18:01,360 --> 00:18:06,080
specific if I need to be and I'm
going to say Azul. 

389
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,640
Dual or original? 
Not talking about Jewel, the 

390
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,480
original. 
Talking about the original, OK. 

391
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,960
OK, so jewels are my honourable.
Now, I really love us all, 

392
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,520
Jewel. 
I'm just going to say that 

393
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:18,800
upfront. 
I've still got it. 

394
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,600
I still play it. 
Yeah, I will have it. 

395
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,320
You know, if you wanted to play 
it, Rock, I quite enjoy 

396
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:23,760
boarding. 
I'd smash it out. 

397
00:18:24,120 --> 00:18:27,360
No problem with that whatsoever.
I just. 

398
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:33,160
The thing with The thing is, as 
all, Jewel rekindled my love of 

399
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,960
us all. 
Yeah, and what that's done is 

400
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,280
made me want to play the 
original. 

401
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,800
OK. 
Over the dual version. 

402
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,800
Yeah, I think you said this in 
the the top five comfort games 

403
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,080
or something, wasn't it? 
You mentioned it. 

404
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,520
So, you know, and this is 
something similar because it's 

405
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,320
all due. 
Yeah, it is a very thinky, brain

406
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,000
burning game and I can make it 
that way should I wish. 

407
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,800
But do you know what? 
I think Azul plays best at two. 

408
00:18:59,360 --> 00:19:03,080
OK, I know there's people that 
will fight me on this, but for 

409
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:07,720
me the original was all 100% 
plays best too. 

410
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,080
I wouldn't say that so much for 
the later versions of the game. 

411
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:15,640
You know stained glass and some 
of pavilion that the like that 

412
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,640
definitely I think higher player
counts on that. 

413
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,680
But the original is a two player
game, born and bred, which is 

414
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:27,120
why I think Dual worked so well 
because it is more based on that

415
00:19:27,120 --> 00:19:32,840
original version while just 
adding in just a a sprinkling of

416
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,400
the later games. 
But yeah, I love us all. 

417
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,200
It has great production. 
Probably the best production out

418
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,440
of all of these games is the 
original. 

419
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,280
My partner loves it, which is an
added bonus because it means we 

420
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,080
can get it to the table. 
We don't have the original 

421
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:52,840
anymore because I sold it and 
got a bit of a raking ball 

422
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,160
selling said game, but now we 
have the Azul mini version which

423
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,000
I. 
Actually prefer that one, yeah. 

424
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,240
Yeah, it is you. 
Get you get the the proper 

425
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,440
plastic boards and everything 
and actually fit into it and 

426
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,200
everything I. 
Actually with the original you 

427
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,600
had to buy an expansion to get 
that plastic clip on bit. 

428
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,080
So yeah, we we now play the 
mini. 

429
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,160
My partner even went off to 
Brighton yesterday and she was 

430
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:15,920
playing with her friends in a in
a in a bar. 

431
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,800
Travel version is good. 
It's really, really good. 

432
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:25,240
So yeah, for me, the Azul Mini 
or Azul original, I think a 

433
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,000
fantastic and one of the best 
two player games you can play 

434
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:34,280
Wow to date. 
OK, you can put Azul Jewel in 

435
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:35,880
there as well because it's not 
far behind. 

436
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,240
If I'm not playing as all, I 
would happily play as all Jewel.

437
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:42,040
Yeah. 
So there you go, my #5 is Azul. 

438
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,640
Nice mate. 
I mean, like I said, Azul Jewel 

439
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,000
was in my honorable mentions. 
It was. 

440
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,960
I've only played a couple of 
times, but I think again, it's 

441
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,800
one that rekindled me to play. 
So because I I loved Azure when 

442
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,960
I first got into games, hadn't 
played it since I bought the 

443
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,360
mini one. 
I took it on holiday with me. 

444
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,040
I think I played once, but then 
it got to a point where other 

445
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,360
different results were coming 
out and I hadn't played those 

446
00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:05,160
ones. 
So it's a nice pick mate. 

447
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:09,000
Honestly, that's a yeah. #4 now 
I'm not. 

448
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,680
Sure how you're gonna go on this
OK, but this will be interesting

449
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,400
'cause it is a game that goes up
to 4, but I personally think it 

450
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:19,640
is better at 2 and there are 
boxes versions of two player 

451
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,440
versions of this game. 
OK. 

452
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,160
So my number 4 is unmatched. 
Oh, OK, yeah. 

453
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,120
Interesting. 
Again, you might go against me 

454
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:30,760
on this because it can go up to 
three or four players, but I 

455
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,160
think it's better at 2. 
And I do love the fact that 

456
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,400
Unmatched or Restoration games 
that produce this game do two 

457
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,160
player sets versions of this 
game. 

458
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,920
Yes, like the dressing Park 
ones, for example, which is how 

459
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,480
I got into Unmatched and stuff. 
But I do love the fact that this

460
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:49,600
is 1 where it's like we've had 
times where we've played a few 

461
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,760
games and then we're like, well,
what can we play to two player? 

462
00:21:52,120 --> 00:21:56,040
And then and then oh, unmatched.
And then you grab your big box 

463
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,000
of all the characters and like, 
OK, I'll be this guy and this 

464
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,680
guy. 
You grab a random map from 

465
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,000
whatever and you just go at it. 
Even if it's a a map built for 

466
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,160
four players, you can still do 
it at two players. 

467
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:06,480
And that's what I love about our
match. 

468
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,680
It's just the fact that you can 
do it straight away. 

469
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,960
You don't have to worry about it
needs to be 3 or 4 players. 

470
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,960
Even if it's a box set for four 
players, you can still play it 

471
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,920
at two players, your characters,
your cards. 

472
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,520
This is a game I've loved for 
years and still adore to this 

473
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,760
day. 
But for me, I just love the 

474
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,440
simplicity that, yes, you can 
just play it at two players 

475
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,040
considering how easy it is to 
set up and go. 

476
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,720
And I love the fact that they 
still produce two player box 

477
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,000
versions of these games as well,
because we've had bigger box 

478
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,480
versions of it recently and 
three player box versions. 

479
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,960
But the fact they still do 2 is,
is fantastic. 

480
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,800
And I, you know, can't thank 
them enough for still doing 

481
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,400
that. 
Yeah, but yeah, unmatched. 

482
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,120
OK, so I'm actually obviously 
Restoration games originally was

483
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,200
as like a collaboration with 
Mondo. 

484
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:52,920
That's right. 
Yes. 

485
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,280
Well, however, I believe the 
later versions of the OR indeed 

486
00:22:56,280 --> 00:23:00,880
the new one coming out in a few 
months, Mondo have seemingly 

487
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,760
dropped out. 
So it's just Restoration now. 

488
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,160
But yeah, unmatched is, is a 
fantastic game system. 

489
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,920
And yeah, like you say, it's 
just one of those games that is.

490
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,480
Yeah, we've had, we've had some 
really good times this evening. 

491
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,320
Some of the party has decided to
leave. 

492
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,520
Not quite ready to call it a 
night just yet. 

493
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:21,720
There's two of us. 
Like, what are we? 

494
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,920
Yeah, like you say, light bulb 
unmatched. 

495
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,600
That's it. 
And especially when you haven't 

496
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,760
played it in ages as well and 
you just think exactly, let's go

497
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,680
back to it because you don't 
need to remember the rules or 

498
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,160
anything like the cards are 
there and tell you if you have 

499
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:35,480
forgotten it anyway. 
It's got three things, three 

500
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,720
things you can do. 
And it's such replay value. 

501
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,600
I mean, granted, if you add up 
the cost of buying in all the 

502
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,880
different sets, yes, it's a very
expensive, of course you get 

503
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:50,360
that repay value, but you know, 
they're, they're timeless. 

504
00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:52,640
Yeah, right. 
I, I'm, I don't personally buy 

505
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,520
into the, the IP stuff yes, 
other than Jurassic Park, and 

506
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,480
that's because I absolutely love
Jurassic Park. 

507
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,400
But yeah, like the Marvel ones 
not interested. 

508
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,640
I mean, there's the the Bruce 
Lee one that's coming out. 

509
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:10,160
Oh, sorry, reprint the original 
Bruce Lee one or whatever it is.

510
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:12,960
Maybe not really too sure, but 
the. 

511
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,440
Buffy one and what's the other 
one He did was another one. 

512
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,360
I can't remember now, but yeah, 
I I get what you're saying. 

513
00:24:18,360 --> 00:24:19,160
Yeah. 
Oh, The Witcher. 

514
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,120
Oh, yes, very. 
I was intrigued by it, but I was

515
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,120
like, no. 
So I I tend to stick with the 

516
00:24:25,120 --> 00:24:28,080
mythical creatures that are in 
it and story characters, kind of

517
00:24:28,120 --> 00:24:32,040
stuff like that. 
I just think the replay value of

518
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,960
that and it's just a cool idea, 
the cool concept of, oh, I have,

519
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,880
I fancy having a fight. 
Oh, am I going to be, I don't 

520
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,840
know, Sherlock Holmes? 
Who do you want to be? 

521
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:43,600
Oh, you want to be Alice in 
Wonderland? 

522
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,440
Yeah, that's a That sounds like 
a match. 

523
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:46,800
Made in heaven. 
Utterly stupid. 

524
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,760
But when you see these 
characters and the abilities, 

525
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,920
they can do stuff. 
It's absolutely crazy. 

526
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,080
Like, just think of the two 
player boxes, which is Little 

527
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,520
Red Riding Hood versus Bigfoot. 
Yeah, it's like, why? 

528
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,360
But you, you're so intrigued to 
do it and it just, you know, 

529
00:24:59,360 --> 00:25:01,240
Beowulf versus Robin Hood or 
whatever. 

530
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,000
It's just. 
And it's amazing because like 

531
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,920
just taking that box, for 
example, the Robin Hood Bigfoot 

532
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,320
1 is like they are. 
I mean, the clues in the title, 

533
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,200
they're two very unmatched 
characters. 

534
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,720
However, they are so well 
balanced. 

535
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,120
You know, if Little Red Riding 
Hood gets caught by Bigfoot, 

536
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:20,720
she's going to take a 
clobbering. 

537
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,600
If she manages to stay away, 
however, Bigfoot's going to 

538
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,040
struggle because she has her own
ability. 

539
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,040
Absolutely. 
That is going to be wearing him 

540
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,240
down very quickly. 
And it was always the thing with

541
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,000
the T Rex wasn't. 
It, yes, yeah. 

542
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,000
How do you beat AT Rex? 
You keep running away and wait 

543
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,840
for it to wear it well. 
Cards now, yeah. 

544
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,240
You know what I mean? 
It's exactly how it would have 

545
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,720
been in real life. 
Out running in T Rex doesn't 

546
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:44,920
sound like it's going to be all 
that easy. 

547
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,920
No, but that's how you're going 
to be doing it. 

548
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,720
And, you know, it's learning. 
There's so much learning in that

549
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,160
game. 
Oh, I gotta try and remember how

550
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,600
this character works. 
And oh, I remember that 

551
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,560
character being stupidly OP. 
So I'm going to play it and then

552
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,240
get completely decimated by 
someone playing a Sinbad. 

553
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:02,840
Yeah. 
Why? 

554
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,480
Why did that happen? 
The cards and cards and there's 

555
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:06,920
a luck element. 
Absolutely. 

556
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,280
Yeah. 
It's a fantastic game. 

557
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,200
Absolutely. 
It's all about when the cards 

558
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,200
come out because because you 
might have a good run first 

559
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,160
time, but then it might be 
totally different the second 

560
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,000
time, he said. 
Perfectly balanced, but yeah, 

561
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,360
luck of the draw with the cards.
Now I I do, obviously the game 

562
00:26:19,360 --> 00:26:21,280
can go up to four players. 
It can, yeah. 

563
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,600
Yeah, now I that to me is a two 
player game. 

564
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,200
It's not a four player game. 
You know you play with the house

565
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,680
rules of all V all in a higher 
play count game. 

566
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,960
It's not very good. 
Well, in the like it as much. 

567
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,720
In the original rules for our 
match, which is like the earlier

568
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,440
boxer, like volume 1 and stuff, 
if it was four players, it was 

569
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,840
it was actually meant to be team
versus team 2V2. 

570
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,800
Yeah. 
So it's still essentially A2 

571
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:43,480
player. 
There you go. 

572
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,640
Yeah, like I said, the the the 
sort of, I think they started as

573
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,200
house rules, but then they sort 
of been caught. 

574
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:50,720
They changed up in the end. 
Where you, you all V all. 

575
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,960
It's not as fun. 
I don't like that. 

576
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,320
So yeah, it is a two player game
which way you look at it and 

577
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,080
it's a fantastic two player 
game. 

578
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,040
In fact, do you remember when we
first when you first played it, 

579
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,000
there was yourself, Paul and 
James, yes. 

580
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,240
And we actually had two, two 
player sets. 

581
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,800
We did because you know, we had 
to try out with that first and 

582
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,520
then we were like oh, I'm out 
already. 

583
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,760
So me and James just got another
set out and just tried again so.

584
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,040
There we go. 
We'll just do this. 

585
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,640
The simplicity of it is great 
and if you still not played on 

586
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:22,680
match we both highly recommend 
it 1%. 100% So yeah, that is a 

587
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,560
absolutely Stella. 
I'm glad you agree in that way, 

588
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,360
yeah. 
But I do have one final question

589
00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:32,280
before we move on to to mine 
with regards to that is. 

590
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,440
Is yours on my favorite 
character, Achilles? 

591
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,440
OK. 
Very nice yours. 

592
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:44,080
It's a tough one. 
I I I like, I like playing the 

593
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,040
Invisible Man. 
Oh, really? 

594
00:27:46,360 --> 00:27:47,920
Yeah. 
I love playing the invisible. 

595
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,480
Yeah, good shout. 
So good choice Sir, good choice.

596
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:58,280
So we'll move on now to my #4 
Now again, this game is a game 

597
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:02,720
that can be played at multiple 
player counts, but I will say 

598
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:08,520
that I think this plays best at 
2 or somewhat solo as well. 

599
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:11,840
What? 
But it's project L. 

600
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,280
Oh, OK. 
Now. 

601
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,600
Two what? 
Yeah, yeah, Last time I played 

602
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,320
it was 2 player. 
Was a two player. 

603
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:25,680
Yeah, right now I don't inherit.
Have an issue with project L at 

604
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,480
a higher player count. 
It's the type of game. 

605
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:30,560
Where? 
What's the highest to go to? 

606
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:32,440
I think it's. 
Ford didn't. 

607
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,760
You But yeah, because you've got
that open drafting of the times,

608
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:41,760
I just feel like a higher player
count you, you know, you've got 

609
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,600
your pieces in front of you. 
You've just had your turn, 

610
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:49,200
you've had your turn and it's 
gone to the third player and oh,

611
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,720
there's a there's a tile there 
that would be really good for 

612
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,560
me. 
And chances are it's gone by the

613
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,320
time it gets back to you. 
And that happens more often than

614
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,040
it doesn't happen. 
Whereas in A2 player game, 

615
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,600
there's a bit more strategy, 
there's a bit more taking OK, 

616
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,920
what your opponent's doing OK, 
because it's like, oh, you've 

617
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,680
taken that one. 
It's oh, and it's revealed that 

618
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,440
tile. 
Hang on a minute, I need to take

619
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,760
that tile because I know that 
Anthony will need that tile. 

620
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,760
I say. 
But it doesn't benefit me. 

621
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:20,520
But it does stop him and we all 
know I like a little bit of 

622
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,760
tailor. 
And so you don't like other 

623
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,160
players because they're going to
take your tile. 

624
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:25,440
Exactly. 
I don't think it's right. 

625
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,520
I don't think it's right. 
But no, I just feel like a game 

626
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,240
like that, it works best at two.
Yes. 

627
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,920
It's purely because it you do 
have that more intimate nature 

628
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,200
of a game like that. 
And it's like, well, yeah, I am 

629
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,280
taking note of what's on my 
board. 

630
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,280
However, really see what's going
on on the other side of the 

631
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:46,000
table, which therefore gets me a
bit more strategically thinking 

632
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,600
as opposed to, oh, well, I'll 
take that because I can easily 

633
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,720
do it, OK. 
Whereas, yeah, I might sort of 

634
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:57,600
think I can't do it right now, 
Anthony can, but I can do it as 

635
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,640
a combination of this turn and 
I'll complete it as my first 

636
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,400
action on the next turn. 
So it's worth it because it's 

637
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,920
going to get me 4 points. 
It's going to stop you from 

638
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,160
getting 4 points. 
Yeah, I see. 

639
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,160
I'll be honest, I've never 
played this at more than two 

640
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,560
players. 
So I I, I I can only go on your 

641
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,880
word on this one, but I can see 
where you're coming from. 

642
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:16,400
Yeah. 
So you're you're because you're 

643
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,400
focusing more on just the other 
player than other players. 

644
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:19,080
Exactly. 
Yeah. 

645
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:19,720
Yeah. 
And. 

646
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,840
I think it's it's pretty common 
knowledge now. 

647
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:26,160
I quite like to assess the lay 
of the land with regards to 

648
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,720
everyone else at the table while
I'm playing as well because it 

649
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,320
just gives me a bit more to 
think about, which you know, 

650
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,560
keeps my brain a bit more active
considering I don't use it the 

651
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:40,200
majority of my life so. 
I just went gaming, just went 

652
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:41,400
gaming. 
That's what it's for the. 

653
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,320
Only time you need it, Jake. 
Exactly. 

654
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,560
So yeah, Project Li will say the
game is fantastic at four 

655
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:52,440
players, three players. 
But it is 100% in my opinion, 

656
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,920
best at 2 at two players. 
Nice. 

657
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,600
I mean I I. 
I recently replayed it with you 

658
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,200
before Expo and I forgot how 
good this game was because it 

659
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:02,680
was been a long time since I 
played that game. 

660
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,840
I think when it first came out 
was when you picked it up and it

661
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,120
had been a couple of years since
I played it. 

662
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,040
I wanted to play again and then 
I thought to myself this would 

663
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,880
be great for a family night, you
know? 

664
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,400
So I picked it up at UKGE 
recently. 

665
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:19,000
So I totally go with your, 
you'll pick, say 100% a great. 

666
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,760
It's a great game. 
Didn't even know you'd picked it

667
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:21,400
up. 
Yeah, yeah. 

668
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,480
Totally did not know you picked.
It up because. 

669
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:24,760
Because the new one had come 
out. 

670
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,160
Which is all the square one yes 
but I didn't pick that up 

671
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,440
because I went because I think 
project hell my dad's a big 

672
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,960
Tetris fan so I think he'll love
this Tetris type game so I'm 

673
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,000
trying to get him into the ball 
game slowly so yeah I think 

674
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,960
there's one he'll definitely 
likes I picked it up there I I 

675
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,120
think yeah because. 
Obviously, but the Tetron Mino 

676
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,640
pieces, it's you look at it and 
you say, oh, Tetris, it's not 

677
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,680
Tetris. 
No, it's not, but it's it's. 

678
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,920
Just the the pieces, yeah. 
Yeah, exactly. 

679
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,360
Had the Tetris soundtrack 
constantly. 

680
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:51,800
Playing in the background, 
what's she doing exactly? 

681
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:56,240
So good. 
Good pics Sir, thank you #3. 

682
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:57,880
OK. 
Anthony, what is? 

683
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:02,880
Your number three my #3 so. 
These last three games are in my

684
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:07,920
top ten of all time, and you're 
going to hate number 30, God, 

685
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:13,440
but I absolutely love #3 it's up
to four to flip this table. 

686
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:18,160
Yeah, but it's best at. 200% is 
best at 2:00 and it's June war 

687
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,960
for Arakis. 
Oh, absolutely love. 

688
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:25,600
This. 
Game by far the big hit of last 

689
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:29,440
year for me and I'm so glad I 
picked it up at UKGE. 

690
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,640
OK, so can I just jump? 
In and so is that. 

691
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,680
Is this best at two player 
because it's shorter? 

692
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,120
No, it's meant. 
It is, it is essentially meant 

693
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,160
for two players and there's a 
mode on there that is it is a 

694
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,040
two player game, but there's a 
mode on there where you can do 

695
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:48,280
it 4, which I don't agree on, 
but there are little things in 

696
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,560
there that do make it good at 4.
But I'll explain it. 

697
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,200
But if anyone doesn't know what 
doing 4 rackets is, you are 

698
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,320
either playing as the tradies or
the Hakonians and essentially 

699
00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:01,280
battling one another with masses
of beautiful minis from Seamon 

700
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:05,200
with all the sound worms and all
the ornithopters and everything.

701
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,440
And it looks like a just a 
massive chess piece board and 

702
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,480
how you both tactically have to 
try and figure out how to beat 

703
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,840
your goals and stuff. 
But you do it all with the dice.

704
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,600
So the dice is a main factor in 
this game and it's essentially 

705
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,160
helping you do your abilities or
what you can do. 

706
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,360
So you roll dice and you place 
it onto your player board the 

707
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,440
way you can do certain actions, 
whether you need to move troops,

708
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:31,200
attack, move sand worms, place 
vehicles in a certain area, 

709
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,040
whatnot. 
It is so thematically brilliant 

710
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:38,080
and goes with the theme so well.
I I love, I'm not a massive fan 

711
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,960
of June, but I do love June. 
But The thing is, is that this 

712
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,480
is really hits home with what 
the theme is and how. 

713
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:47,480
How do I say? 
This this game. 

714
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,400
Is an experience and it does go 
on for a long time. 

715
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,240
So if you're prepared to play 
this for three hours, it is 

716
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,640
highly worth your time if you're
willing to learn the rules. 

717
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,840
It looks intimidating as hell, 
but it as soon as you get to go 

718
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,760
through it in a couple of hours.
It is amazing how you do this 

719
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,160
and the the little stipulation 
you do with the four players. 

720
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:11,880
So it's it's essentially 2V2 if 
you do that and the thing. 

721
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:13,960
Is that if you want to plan? 
Out certain things with a 

722
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,920
colleague, you have these things
called quiet tokens. 

723
00:34:17,199 --> 00:34:19,719
So if you want the other two 
players to leave the room, you 

724
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,679
have to give them these tokens 
and they have to leave the room 

725
00:34:21,679 --> 00:34:24,880
so you can talk tactics and 
stuff like that, which in other 

726
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,679
games you can't essentially do 
but this one, you know, makes 

727
00:34:28,679 --> 00:34:31,000
you want to do that because you 
want to win this. 

728
00:34:31,199 --> 00:34:33,800
You feel like you actually want 
to be part of it and actually 

729
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:35,960
achieve something out of this 
like you're going to win a medal

730
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,679
out of this or something. 
It it does this every time. 

731
00:34:39,679 --> 00:34:43,400
There is never 1 gameplay where 
I've not been even if I've lost,

732
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:47,600
you know it's very tight and 
it's very just close to the 

733
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,639
market that I could have done 
this and I still am satisfied 

734
00:34:50,639 --> 00:34:52,679
for losing. 
And you know you're satisfied 

735
00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:58,240
obviously winning the course. 
But this game is just play it 

736
00:34:58,240 --> 00:34:59,960
and you'll understand where I'm 
coming from because I'm trying 

737
00:34:59,960 --> 00:35:02,560
not to spoil it for you. 
I know Jason doesn't have any 

738
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,720
say on this whatsoever. 
I would love him to play it, but

739
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,160
it honestly guys, it's the 
reason it's in the top three 

740
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,200
fantastic 24 fracas. 
Give it a go if you can. 

741
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:13,960
It's very pricey but it's give 
it a go if you can. 

742
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,680
I guess this is going to. 
Be the first one that I don't 

743
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,800
get to really say anything, No 
Sir, that's fine #3. 

744
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:26,080
Yeah. 
So my #3 unfortunately this is 

745
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:30,880
going to be a quick one as well.
OK, my number 3 is my biggest 

746
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:35,560
cheat of this entire list, which
is the unmatched is it damn it. 

747
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,000
Sorry dude, I didn't realize 
that on yours that's not a 

748
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,040
problem at all. 
Because yeah, when you were 

749
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:41,200
chatting about it, I thought you
didn't. 

750
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,200
Have it on your list. 
So I was like, Oh yes, fine. 

751
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,440
Yeah, no, you. 
You, you pick me at the post. 

752
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:51,000
But yeah, it it is, to me, an 
absolutely fantastic system. 

753
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,480
It's amazing at two players. 
We've already waxed Miracle. 

754
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:55,520
Yeah. 
About that game. 

755
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,320
Yeah. 
So I won't bore you with that 

756
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,400
exact same thing again. 
But yeah, the unmatched system 

757
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,840
is my #3 your #3 Dune 
Wolfarakis. 

758
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:09,240
Wolfarakis #2. 
What is your #2, Sir? 

759
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:13,040
My number 2 is probably. 
The most expensive to play a 

760
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,800
game of all time I'm trying to 
assess. 

761
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,640
Whether this is sarcasm or 
whether it's truthful. 

762
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,720
Oh no, it's truthful, OK. 
It's truthful. 

763
00:36:20,720 --> 00:36:23,520
OK. 
The board itself is between 150 

764
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,720
and 200 lbs. 
OK, So I think you know where 

765
00:36:25,720 --> 00:36:28,080
this is going. 
Yeah, this is definitely. 

766
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,080
Class No. 
No, no, that's. 

767
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:35,200
A lot of I mentioned, though, my
number 2 is Crocodile. 

768
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:36,560
Of course. 
Of course it is. 

769
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,760
Yeah. 
When do we not talk about this 

770
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,400
game, Jason? 
I mean, we played it again 

771
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,320
recently with Stephen. 
So Stephen, if you're listening,

772
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:47,480
back me up on this. 
But what can we not not say bad 

773
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,200
about this game, right? 
It's amazing. 

774
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:50,640
It's amazing. 
And if you don't know what know 

775
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,440
what Crocodile is, it's a very 
old Canadian game, right? 

776
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,160
Canadian drive, Yeah. 
And obviously it's. 

777
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,400
A massive ball with divided size
of scores. 

778
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,360
You flip distincts, try and get 
into a centrepiece. 

779
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,040
I know it sounds very basic, but
it's very addictive. 

780
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:09,680
It is you know it's you can play
it at four players, which I 

781
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:13,520
don't recommend personally 
because it's all out war when 

782
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,200
it's four players. 
I don't think you can really 

783
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,000
ever get to achieve it very well
what you need to do in the game.

784
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,800
So yeah, at two players it's 
non-stop where you think one 

785
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,880
turn is is been and done, but 
you want to go again and again. 

786
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,120
And I've got so many players 
hooked onto this game, family 

787
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,800
members, other people that have 
never even experienced it 

788
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,040
before. 
Like I remember one time we 

789
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,760
brought it to your game club 
once and we were closing up, but

790
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,320
then everyone was just sticking 
around just to see what this 

791
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:42,200
board was and stuff. 
So we've talked about a lot in 

792
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:43,600
this pocket. 
I'm not going to keep going on 

793
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,920
about it, but if you ever get 
hold of Crocodile Imperium, 

794
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,840
which would be a fantastic add 
on to playing Crocodile as well,

795
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,800
they're basically cars that can 
change stipulations to the game,

796
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,400
like reverse scoring backwards 
or you have to flick discs off a

797
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,760
certain way to score points. 
Crocodile mate. 

798
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:01,360
What? 
What? 

799
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,680
Yeah, Crocodile. 
Play crocodile. 

800
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,320
Give it a go. 
There's some really nice boards.

801
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,720
Out there as well like the the 
board is, is the cost right? 

802
00:38:09,720 --> 00:38:13,360
Because it's it's, it's always a
very expensive work because 

803
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:17,120
obviously it is heavily, heavily
waxed and shined. 

804
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,640
Really, isn't it? 
It's a very smooth surface. 

805
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,960
In order to have the woods 
pieces sliding over here so a 

806
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:25,480
lot. 
But I noticed a few pictures 

807
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,920
that have come out from Origins 
recently where you have the Star

808
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:32,240
Wars, yeah, themed one where 
like the whole centre is the 

809
00:38:32,240 --> 00:38:33,600
death. 
I know it. 

810
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,040
Was like oh that looks. 
So good and just. 

811
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,600
Oh my God, we had. 
Was it, was it Maplewood? 

812
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:39,360
Maplewood. 
Yeah. 

813
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,440
Maple Blues. 
Yeah, they have. 

814
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,560
They've got the. 
One that I really want where the

815
00:38:43,720 --> 00:38:47,040
the whole centre is is oh, blue,
blue, yeah. 

816
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,320
I'm like, oh God, I really need 
that. 

817
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,280
The red, the black, the but. 
You can customize what picture 

818
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,320
you want in there and stuff 
like, you know, the logos in 

819
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:56,920
there or whatever. 
Yeah, just my God, the the limit

820
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,240
how we were so limited when we 
first played it. 

821
00:38:59,240 --> 00:39:01,720
Like it was essentially just 
tournament style boards is all 

822
00:39:01,720 --> 00:39:04,680
we can get hold of. 
And now it gets, crocodile gets 

823
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,440
bigger every year, doesn't it? 
So I mean, I think it was the 

824
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,760
first time at UKG had, like I 
said, Maplewood were there 

825
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,360
displaying their new boards and 
stuff for the for the end of the

826
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,800
year and you get like the 
championships. 

827
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:17,400
And stuff happening at Oh my 
God. 

828
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,640
Yeah, absolutely huge. 
And and the amount of 

829
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,280
accessories you can get for this
like you're you're the 20 score 

830
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:27,560
holders or the actual speed dust
you can have and other little 

831
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,240
things like counter holders. 
The Sky's the limit. 

832
00:39:30,240 --> 00:39:32,600
If you buy a board, you will be 
hooked with all the rest of 

833
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,240
stuff you can do with it. 
It's a hell of an investment. 

834
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,000
But I think it's an investment. 
That is where they like 

835
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:42,520
genuinely, I've always said like
if you got rid of your, your get

836
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,200
your board. 
Yeah, I wanted first dibs. 

837
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,800
I also, if I if I didn't get 
first dibs and you had to get 

838
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,840
rid of it quickly because I 
couldn't afford it, the next 

839
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,480
time I had spare money, I would 
have you still have, I'd have a 

840
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,920
version. 
And I I even nearly bought a 

841
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,400
board recently. 
Yeah, but it was like, do you 

842
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,200
know what? 
I I genuinely can't afford it at

843
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,040
the minute. 
So I need to be sensible. 

844
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,320
Yeah, do some adulting at this 
point. 

845
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,560
Not, not the bad type, no. 
But the problem, the problem is 

846
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,680
crocodiles, one of those games. 
That you play for a little bit, 

847
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:14,160
but then goes away for a while 
and sometimes you forget if you 

848
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:15,960
you know where you can store 
your board and stuff that you 

849
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,520
kind of forget you have it. 
But when you bring it back and 

850
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,400
then you think it yourself, it's
like every game you miss for a 

851
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:21,800
while, isn't it? 
Getting it out, you know, if 

852
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,400
you've got one of the. 
Storage bags as you're getting 

853
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,720
out of the bag you just just 
missed. 

854
00:40:25,720 --> 00:40:27,120
This Here we go. 
Come on. 

855
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,080
So the adrenaline's pumping, 
Yeah. 

856
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:30,960
This was an honourable mention 
for me. 

857
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:36,520
Nice one because I absolutely 
adore crocodile and I would play

858
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,720
it every day. 
Yes, if I could and I wouldn't 

859
00:40:39,720 --> 00:40:42,040
get bored. 
No, absolutely the only. 

860
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,480
Reason it's not in. 
My list is, I had a feeling it 

861
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:48,200
would appear in your list. 
And again, I don't own the board

862
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,520
and I feel kind of cheap. 
Yeah, by saying, Oh yeah, it's 

863
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:55,000
it's in my top five. 
And then none of my top five are

864
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,360
in my collection. 
That's fair. 

865
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,920
You know what I mean? 
But yeah, Crocodile 100% 

866
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:03,120
recommended from me. 
Definitely all of us here at Me 

867
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,120
by Mind, James. 
Is a big fan of it and he hates 

868
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,760
dexterity games. 
He is so sucks at it as well. 

869
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,080
Sucks at it. 
But he still plays it and. 

870
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:10,720
That's what I love about it 
because you can suck at this 

871
00:41:10,720 --> 00:41:13,680
game but still enjoy it as well.
So yeah, exactly. 

872
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,360
What's your? 
#2 then OK. 

873
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:22,040
So. 
My number 2 is a new game. 

874
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:25,880
It is a dedicated 2 player game,
OK. 

875
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,720
It is a game that we have played
very, very recently and have 

876
00:41:28,720 --> 00:41:33,680
even mentioned on this here show
it is Timberton. 

877
00:41:33,720 --> 00:41:35,080
Yeah. 
All right. 

878
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,400
So this is a I. 
Never mentioned this. 

879
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,800
Is a game. 
The number two straight. 

880
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:45,800
To the top of my. 
List and to be honest, the only 

881
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:51,600
reason it's at #2 is because the
game that's at #1 I am 

882
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:56,120
absolutely obsessed with and it 
goes with me almost everywhere 

883
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:57,800
now. 
So that gives you interesting 

884
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:02,440
little, little insight into what
my number one could be. 

885
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:04,800
But yeah, Timber Town, we've 
already talked about it at the 

886
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,760
start of the show. 
Please go back and listen to 

887
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:10,760
that if you haven't already. 
But mild rundown of Timber Town.

888
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,600
You are building a town for 
Beavers. 

889
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,840
And yeah, there's loads. 
Of different paths to victory. 

890
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:25,160
In it you can have like the 
Beaver tiles where the objective

891
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,520
is you get 5 points for every 
Beaver that you can get across 

892
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:30,440
the board. 
You've got the shops which 

893
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,760
weirdly want to be connected to 
one another, connected to. 

894
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:35,680
One another but if. 
There's more than two shops. 

895
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,840
God forbid you don't get any 
points for that. 

896
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,440
You've got the. 
I always forget what the blue 

897
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,800
tiles are, but they're they have
to have different ones in the 

898
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,080
rows. 
Yeah, and what we're? 

899
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,440
Talking about here is the base 
versions. 

900
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:55,200
That's the starter things of 
what those tiles do you 

901
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:56,080
mentioned. 
At the front. 

902
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:58,840
The replay value of it, the 
different cards you can score 

903
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:00,400
all the different. 
Cards changes. 

904
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:04,520
That scoring all up about the 
place, which is where this game 

905
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:09,560
absolutely shines because yes, 
that replay value is phenomenal.

906
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:13,600
And at the price point of that 
game is it's amazing. 

907
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,320
It's a really good price point 
game we forgot to mention at the

908
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,000
start. 
Because we mentioned the River 

909
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,400
Valley glass works that the tile
pickup is very much like River 

910
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,200
Valley glass works in a way, 
isn't it how you move the water 

911
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,520
across a new tiles come onto the
board and stuff. 

912
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:29,960
And I, there was nothing I loved
about it, but it was the 

913
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,560
limitation of if you take that 
tile, it has to be in that 

914
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,880
section as well. 
Apart from if you get a certain 

915
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:37,280
token in the game, then you can 
move it. 

916
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,760
Of course, reserve it move. 
It to different. 

917
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:43,000
Ways just everything about it I 
just absolutely love. 

918
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:46,920
The artwork is great. 
The the placement part is what 

919
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:50,280
infuriated me of this game but 
made me love it more because it 

920
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,120
was the restriction of it and 
there's games where I love the 

921
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:56,600
restriction because. 
It makes me like, oh, I've 

922
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:58,240
planned. 
This, but I'm not planning it 

923
00:43:58,240 --> 00:44:01,120
well enough. 
So that's why I love stuff like 

924
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:01,560
this. 
Yeah. 

925
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:02,880
And you get that sort of 
frustrating. 

926
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,480
Thing like the parks, you have 
to be in the corners. 

927
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,800
There's like I've got the 
corners free, but there's no 

928
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,080
damn parks coming out. 
But it's back to what you're 

929
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,800
saying about project. 
L where it's like, there's that 

930
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,400
tile crap, I forgot to reserve 
it. 

931
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:18,280
Yeah, he's going to take it now.
He knows I want it and he's 

932
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,880
taking it. 
Yeah, exactly. 

933
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,720
And yeah, I just think, like I 
said, for the price point, you 

934
00:44:24,720 --> 00:44:27,360
get so much gaming. 
Oh yeah, small boxes, you get 

935
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,440
bang for your buck, honestly. 
This is the thing and we were. 

936
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,600
Talking about as you said River 
Valley Glass Works and I said I 

937
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,840
absolutely love River Valley 
Glass Works and I still maintain

938
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:40,480
I prefer River Valley Glass 
Works to Timber Town. 

939
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:44,600
So why is River Valley Glass 
Works not in this list instead 

940
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:46,640
of Timber Town? 
And that is because River Valley

941
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:52,880
Glass Works is my favorite when 
played at 3:00 or more players. 

942
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:54,440
I can't see Ravalli being if I'm
only. 

943
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:58,200
Playing two players. 
I'm going to Timber Town all the

944
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:01,880
way because it absolutely 
smashes it at 2:00 because 

945
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:03,600
that's what it was designed to 
do. 

946
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:05,040
Absolutely. 
So yeah. 

947
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,960
Timber Town. 
Alley Cat Games is an absolute 

948
00:45:08,240 --> 00:45:12,720
stonker of a hit for this year, 
and I think more people need to 

949
00:45:12,720 --> 00:45:14,520
play it, more people need to 
know about it. 

950
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,080
It's a really good game. 
Yeah, it's definitely in my top 

951
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:18,200
10 for the. 
Year Tim of town. 

952
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:19,920
Very nice, very good pick. 
Sir. 

953
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,000
Number one. 
So my #1. 

954
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:28,240
Is in fact A2 player game OK, 
and it is and it's in my top ten

955
00:45:28,240 --> 00:45:31,240
of all time, but it is my 
favorite two player game of all 

956
00:45:31,240 --> 00:45:33,440
time and I. 
Had this game for a. 

957
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:39,200
While played it for a while, 
sold it for a while, got it back

958
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:43,240
recently. 
UKGE my number one is Star Wars 

959
00:45:43,240 --> 00:45:45,040
Rebellion. 
Very nice. 

960
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:49,560
I absolutely love this game. 
We've been playing a lot of Star

961
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:53,200
Wars games recently, but this is
my favorite Star Wars board game

962
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:56,160
of all time as well. 
Apart, you know, I still haven't

963
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:59,840
played stuff like legion and 
whatnot, but Star Wars Rebellion

964
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:04,120
is just well, it's done by the 
same people that did Dune War 

965
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,520
for war for rackets, but 
obviously this was out first. 

966
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:11,040
But this is the one that makes 
me feel like Star Wars, like 

967
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:12,880
it's a Star Wars game. 
Now, if anyone doesn't know what

968
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,440
Star Wars rebelling is, it's a 
two player game where one place 

969
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,560
is the Empire, the other place 
is the rebels. 

970
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:21,480
And basically the Empire needs 
to try and figure out where the 

971
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:25,800
secret base is on this huge two 
boards connected to one. 

972
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,760
Yeah, they have to try and 
figure out which planet they've 

973
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:31,680
hit the rebel base on. 
And they've basically given 

974
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,040
their army straight away and 
they have to go and roam the 

975
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,480
Galaxy and find it. 
Whereas the rebels start with a 

976
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:38,360
very tiny amount of rebels. 
They are. 

977
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:41,680
And they essentially have to 
grow, throw their rebellion and 

978
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:43,640
make more ships and make it even
more. 

979
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,160
So it's essentially harder work 
for the rebellions, but they 

980
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:50,080
have a an easier goal to defeat 
the empire more. 

981
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:54,160
But it's that feel like if I am 
the rebels, I am struggling to 

982
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:57,080
recruit more rebels and stuff. 
You actually feel it, you know, 

983
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,160
you actually feel like I I need 
to build these guys. 

984
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:01,920
I need to take this planet and 
and you know, make these people 

985
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,520
believe that I want to join the 
rebel side and everything. 

986
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:08,560
It's so thematic. 
There is over 150 minis in this 

987
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:12,200
box as well, which is so much 
bang for the buck because you 

988
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,920
know, like I think the games 
maybe 70 quid 75 lbs for 

989
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,000
something with that amount of 
minis, you're looking normally 

990
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:19,480
over 100 lbs. 
Oh easily. 

991
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,280
And these are great minis as 
well. 

992
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:25,080
They're not like just some, you 
know very basic and cheap 

993
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:27,840
looking stuff like you can 
actually build death stars in 

994
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,640
this thing as well and with the 
death stars you can actually 

995
00:47:30,640 --> 00:47:33,120
blow up planets as well. 
There is everything to do with 

996
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,160
Star Wars. 
What you think of Star Wars, you

997
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:40,080
can do it in this game like the 
the the empire can capture Luke 

998
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,680
and make him turn to the dark 
side and stuff like that. 

999
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:46,400
You can do everything with this.
If you're a Star Wars fan or 

1000
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,000
recently watched the the recent 
Andor series has come out. 

1001
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:53,640
This will make you want to play 
this because this is living Star

1002
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:57,680
Wars, being Star Wars, but All 
in all, playing actual Star 

1003
00:47:57,680 --> 00:48:02,400
Wars, and it's a two player, 
hence why it had to be #1 So 

1004
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,200
yeah, nice. 
Very, very good choice. 

1005
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:07,760
Sir, it's not a game I've 
managed to play as of yet. 

1006
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,400
We we were going to play it, but
you said you were interested in 

1007
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:12,360
playing. 
And then when I saw you re. 

1008
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:13,760
Bought it. 
I was like, ah, finally, I'm 

1009
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:14,960
finally going to get to play 
this. 

1010
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:17,760
I can never remember. 
Is this the one that you were 

1011
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:19,480
trying to get all of the 
characters for? 

1012
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:21,680
Was that that was in or was that
No, that was Imperial Assault, 

1013
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:23,560
That was. 
Imperial Assault, Yeah, I love. 

1014
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:24,240
Imperial. 
Assault. 

1015
00:48:24,240 --> 00:48:27,160
Probably my second favorite, but
this does top it. 

1016
00:48:27,240 --> 00:48:29,480
Yeah, but play it and you'll 
know why. 

1017
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,000
Nice. 
Yeah, it's a game I really want 

1018
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:34,840
to try. 
It's a great choice. 

1019
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:37,240
Like you said, the minis, the 
production of it is fantastic. 

1020
00:48:37,240 --> 00:48:38,600
The bang for the buck is 
definitely there. 

1021
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,680
It's a pricey game, very pricey,
but when you know what in it, 

1022
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:45,120
boom, the value is definitely 
there if you're if you're in it 

1023
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,760
for. 
And it is a long game, so if you

1024
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,640
have a spare evening for two or 
three hours, it's an experience 

1025
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:52,320
for any Star Wars fan to give a 
try. 

1026
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:53,880
Very, very nice. 
Very. 

1027
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:57,160
Nice. 
So numero, who knows? 

1028
00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:00,800
Sir Numero. 
What beat tip of town this? 

1029
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,520
Is another new game. 
To me, this year, it's not, it's

1030
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:07,160
not quite a new year, it's. 
The first time I played it this.

1031
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:10,520
Year, OK. 
However, it is a new game. 

1032
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:16,240
I believe it's from last year. 
OK, There is or should we say 

1033
00:49:16,240 --> 00:49:21,200
there is due to be a new version
of it later this year. 

1034
00:49:21,720 --> 00:49:23,760
Whether that will happen or not 
is another question. 

1035
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:27,320
Because the company that makes 
it is shut, yo, it is 

1036
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,000
mothballed. 
It doesn't exist anymore. 

1037
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:33,640
Oh OK, and it is greater than 
games compile. 

1038
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:37,400
Ah. 
This is on my list on my uncle 

1039
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,640
mentions. 
Yeah, I'm surprised you hadn't. 

1040
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:43,360
Figured that out. 
No Wow I have raved about this. 

1041
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:45,680
Wow, I'm very. 
Surprised by that. 

1042
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:50,440
Okay, okay, so yeah, compile. 
Is absolutely fantastic. 

1043
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:51,560
It's a great game. 
I first. 

1044
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:55,440
Got this back in February. 
March time at Paradise 

1045
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,240
introduced to me by the guys 
over a board. 

1046
00:49:59,240 --> 00:50:00,560
Stupid. 
Yeah, Thank you guys. 

1047
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:05,680
Thank you guys. 
And I think I bought it on the 

1048
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,520
train on the way home. 
Yeah, from Paradise was like, 

1049
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:10,400
the second this turns up, I'm 
getting it. 

1050
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:15,800
And then I think within a few 
days of I think you literally 

1051
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:17,760
like played with. 
Me the next day or something. 

1052
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:19,240
Yeah, it turned out it was like 
we. 

1053
00:50:19,240 --> 00:50:20,760
Need to play this game, it's 
absolutely amazing. 

1054
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:27,000
But then within a few days of of
first hearing about it, it then 

1055
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,240
came out. 
Obviously with the situations 

1056
00:50:29,240 --> 00:50:32,640
going on in the States, Greater 
than games had been mothballed 

1057
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,320
by the parent company and that 
is still the case. 

1058
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:39,880
Now we are due a new version of 
the game later this year. 

1059
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,760
The word is that it is still 
coming because the parent 

1060
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:47,240
company is still around. 
It's still trading, but Greater 

1061
00:50:47,240 --> 00:50:50,160
than games don't exist anymore. 
So yeah, it it's really up in 

1062
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:53,440
the air. 
Are we going to see Auxiliary 2,

1063
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:55,640
I think it's called? 
That's pretty cool. 

1064
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:57,600
I like that or. 
Main 2 because I. 

1065
00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:59,720
Think the first one's called 
main one and then it has 

1066
00:50:59,720 --> 00:51:03,280
auxiliary one as the expansion 
and then it's main 2 and so on. 

1067
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,320
But I'm desperate to get a blame
out for this because I play this

1068
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:11,720
game so much, yeah, so, so much.
And because of the fact that it 

1069
00:51:11,720 --> 00:51:15,080
was announced that it was, you 
know, essentially not going to 

1070
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:17,360
be available. 
No game mats for it anywhere, 

1071
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,760
sold out everywhere. 
There is a new one coming with 

1072
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:21,520
the new set. 
I will be buying it. 

1073
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:25,000
It is pre-ordered, so I really 
hope it comes up. 

1074
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:28,480
But Compile is amazing. 
Compile is a card game. 

1075
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:32,880
It comes in a card game box. 
Literally the box is it looks 

1076
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:34,520
like it's a normal card. 
Holder, doesn't it? 

1077
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,240
Deck box, Yeah, yeah, that's a 
taller's in it and there is so. 

1078
00:51:37,240 --> 00:51:42,160
Much game in there, so much so 
it's it's a battling game, 1V1 

1079
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:48,720
where you have three different 
forget what they're called now, 

1080
00:51:48,720 --> 00:51:50,360
but they're they're like love 
hate. 

1081
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:52,520
Death. 
And they're love, hate, death. 

1082
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:53,880
Light. 
Dark. 

1083
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,000
Water. 
Yeah, bio elements and stuff, 

1084
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:56,680
isn't it? 
Yeah. 

1085
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,280
And the idea? 
Is that you have to play cards 

1086
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:03,840
down to each of the the 
different elements or and things

1087
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,360
like that from from that thing, 
but you've got three different 

1088
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:07,800
decks which will all be shuffled
into one. 

1089
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:12,480
You're drawing from the cards 
and you play them face up on the

1090
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:16,400
correct line. 
Line, isn't it? 

1091
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,240
Yeah. 
And the aim? 

1092
00:52:18,240 --> 00:52:22,320
Of the game is that you want to 
get 10A value of 10 because all 

1093
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:25,040
the cards have different values.
If you value it as 10, you 

1094
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:28,120
compile, which means all of 
those cards are discarded and 

1095
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:31,520
you flip over that element that 
is then compiled. 

1096
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:35,640
The first to compile all three 
wins the game. 

1097
00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:41,160
The beauty of it though is when 
you do that and you compile it 

1098
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:46,400
wipes out your opponents line 
that it's it's in. 

1099
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,000
So you you have the chance of 
wiping out some of their cars 

1100
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,200
and that's really, really 
satisfying, especially if 

1101
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:54,640
they've got a really powerful 
card that every turn is allowing

1102
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:57,840
them to. 
That's what the card over or. 

1103
00:52:57,960 --> 00:52:59,440
Or whatever, because that's 
that's the. 

1104
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,160
Move it to a different pile or. 
Something. 

1105
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,120
Yeah, you can move stuff around.
But you know, because the rule 

1106
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:07,640
is you've got to play it on the 
one face up that it's meant to 

1107
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:09,400
be on. 
But then there's other effects 

1108
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:12,520
that allow you to move them, 
which then you might have a 5 

1109
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:15,920
love and it's like, Oh yes, 
that's all I've got on there. 

1110
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:20,880
But if I've got 5 on hate, for 
example, but I've got something 

1111
00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:25,160
on hate that allows me to shift 
a card, well, if I shift that 5 

1112
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:29,000
onto here, that's 10, which 
means if it gets back to me on 

1113
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:33,680
the start of my next turn and he
hasn't beat me in a higher 

1114
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:38,600
number, uncompiling and boom, 
I've I've managed to do do that.

1115
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:45,080
So yeah, it's it's just such a 
it's beautifully simplistic 

1116
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:46,960
game. 
I'll be honest, I knew. 

1117
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,880
I knew about this game. 
I never knew how to play stuff. 

1118
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:54,880
It's simple, it's brilliant, and
it's easily like anyone can play

1119
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:58,200
this game, honestly. 
It's not one of those Magic the 

1120
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:01,680
Gathering type looking games or 
anything like that, but it's 

1121
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:04,000
quite cheap as well. 
It is, yeah. 

1122
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,080
I mean. 
I mean, it's a, it's a deck of 

1123
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:08,560
cards. 
So it sounds expensive, but it's

1124
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:10,560
not because the production 
quality is fantastic. 

1125
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:16,240
You're looking, prices do vary 
obviously, with the fact that it

1126
00:54:16,240 --> 00:54:21,240
is technically out of production
now, but you're looking at 

1127
00:54:21,240 --> 00:54:25,080
somewhere between 15 and 20 lbs 
for the base game, which comes 

1128
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:29,200
in a fantastic box. 
And you about another £5 for the

1129
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,440
expansion, which is another 
three factions. 

1130
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:35,080
Yeah. 
But yeah, the game is so 

1131
00:54:35,080 --> 00:54:38,520
amazingly simplistic, so much 
replay value. 

1132
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:42,880
And now that I've been playing 
the game, I mean, hands down, it

1133
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,360
is actually my most played game 
this year. 

1134
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:49,160
OK, hands down. 
Like head, shoulders, knees and 

1135
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:51,880
toes. 
Knees and toes above the closest

1136
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:55,480
competitor for you know how many
times I've played it. 

1137
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:59,760
As I'm playing it more, I'm. 
Learning more about the 

1138
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:03,480
synergies between the different,
you know, factions and things 

1139
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:08,240
like that as I there there is 
definitely a learning curve if 

1140
00:55:08,240 --> 00:55:09,800
you want there to be a learning 
curve. 

1141
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:13,680
If you don't want there to be a 
learning curve, you can 100% 

1142
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:16,560
randomly pick factions at the 
start of the game because I 

1143
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:21,880
think there's. 12. 
In the base there's a fair 

1144
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:23,920
amount, I think there's 12. 
In the base game and then. 

1145
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:27,760
The extra 3 takes you to 15 and 
you're picking three of those, 

1146
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:30,160
but it's again, you don't just 
go, I want that one, that one 

1147
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:33,120
and that one because it's like, 
well, no, who's going first? 

1148
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:36,640
That person gets to pick two, 
then you get they get to pick 1,

1149
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:38,760
you get to pick two, then they 
pick two and then you pick 1. 

1150
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:43,480
So you might not be able to get 
those combinations that you want

1151
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:46,480
because if someone picks them, 
tough, tough love. 

1152
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:51,760
But yeah, that is my number one.
It is an epic two player game. 

1153
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:59,360
It is dirt cheap, every penny's 
worth in that tiny little box, 

1154
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:04,520
and as I said, that game comes 
with me almost everywhere I go 

1155
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:06,560
because it is such a small, 
compact box. 

1156
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:08,680
I'm very surprised it just sits.
In my bag. 

1157
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:11,120
All the time. 
Nice mate, very good pick. 

1158
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:12,160
Thank you. 
Yeah. 

1159
00:56:12,240 --> 00:56:15,520
I I I hardly, you know, agree 
with that one. 

1160
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:17,800
It's it's OK. 
So it's not a game that I 

1161
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:21,240
expected to be what it was, and 
I really do enjoy playing it all

1162
00:56:21,240 --> 00:56:23,040
the time. 
So yeah, pretty good pick. 

1163
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:24,760
So yeah, this is probably like I
haven't. 

1164
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:25,960
Played it now for about two 
weeks. 

1165
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,760
This is probably the longest 
I've gone without playing that 

1166
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:32,880
game since I bought it, which 
is, yeah, a good few months now.

1167
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:33,880
Nice. 
There you go. 

1168
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:36,920
So yeah, there you go. 
Top fives done. 

1169
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:39,360
You said you had some honourable
members. 

1170
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:42,120
We we've pretty much covered all
of mine as we've gone through 

1171
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:43,000
these. 
Fair enough. 

1172
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:48,240
So compile was one. 
Yep, let's go through Star Wars 

1173
00:56:48,240 --> 00:56:49,920
Unlimited and Star Wars 
Destinies. 

1174
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:53,520
Yes, Yeah, I didn't. 
Think about trading card games 

1175
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:56,240
but Yep they are two player 
Arkham horror the card. 

1176
00:56:56,240 --> 00:56:59,960
Game the original was two player
yes the new version you got to 

1177
00:56:59,960 --> 00:57:01,440
4, but the original was two 
player. 

1178
00:57:02,240 --> 00:57:05,800
I I put in here OK play duo. 
Do you know about OK play? 

1179
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:08,480
I don't know this one, so OK. 
Plays essentially. 

1180
00:57:08,720 --> 00:57:11,960
You know connect 4 Yep, it's 
connect 5 but with two player 

1181
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:15,600
and it's just tiny little pieces
that you put onto the onto a 

1182
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:18,320
table or not. 
And you just try and connect A5 

1183
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:21,680
in a row diagonal, orthogonal, 
but with the other player doing 

1184
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:22,840
it. 
But if you both run out of 

1185
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:24,960
pieces, then you need to try and
move a piece on the outer side 

1186
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:28,040
to try and connect and make 5 
Very good, very tactical, 

1187
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:36,320
brilliant fun. 7 wondered dual 
was another one and Sky team. 

1188
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:42,040
Sky Team. 
I'd forgotten about Sky team, 

1189
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:45,440
adding that into my mentioned 
Sky team. 

1190
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:49,720
Absolutely fantastic game again,
dedicated to player game. 

1191
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:52,200
Just looking around at my 
collection a little bit, there 

1192
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:54,840
are a couple that I can probably
mention as well. 

1193
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:57,920
We played Star Tycoon the other 
day. 

1194
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:00,280
I love that game. 
Oh, haven't I not forgetting 

1195
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:02,840
remember that beginning? 
I absolutely love *. 

1196
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:05,120
Tycoon. 
However I am going to say I 

1197
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:11,200
think I like it better at 3, but
I prefer it at 2 compared to 4. 

1198
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:15,360
It's a quicker, it's much. 
Quicker at 2:00, but I I love 

1199
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:17,640
Star Tycoon. 
Yeah, Star Tycoon is a such a 

1200
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:18,960
good. 
Game stick game. 

1201
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:23,240
Another one I was toying with 
putting in was actually Worms, 

1202
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:25,760
the board game. 
Now I love that game. 

1203
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:27,960
I've only played it 1-2 player 
and he's played it again. 

1204
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:32,040
But I prefer the chaotic. 
Nature of it at 4, sure. 

1205
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:35,360
So it is a good, it is a good 
two player game, but it wasn't 

1206
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:38,160
worthy of making the honourable 
mentions initially. 

1207
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:42,680
But one that I definitely did 
want to mention is the only one 

1208
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:47,400
I haven't talked about today is 
Corridor and more specifically 

1209
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:50,760
Corridor Pac-Man. 
Yes, now Corridor Pac-Man is 

1210
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:54,040
designed to be played with more 
players, but the original is 

1211
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:56,000
good though at. 
Its heart it is. 

1212
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,280
Basically a two player game and 
I love it. 

1213
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:02,040
I absolutely love it. 
I think it's quite yeah, 

1214
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:03,520
especially the the Pac-Man 
version. 

1215
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:06,080
It is very expensive for what it
is yes. 

1216
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:07,800
But again, the production 
quality is fantastic. 

1217
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:11,360
It is all solid wood. 
You know, very nicely painted 

1218
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:14,040
and and looked after. 
The Pac-Man 1's great because 

1219
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:17,920
you get the little Pac-Man to go
around the board, especially the

1220
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:20,680
XL version. 
Exactly, exactly and. 

1221
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:23,960
We may know someone who's who's 
got that or will be having that 

1222
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:25,480
sort of for a crocodile board. 
Stephen, let me. 

1223
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:31,240
Know, oh don't know about that. 
That's that's a tough, tough 

1224
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:36,000
call, that one super tough call.
But yes, we have to ask the 

1225
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:39,680
question, don't we? 
Anthony, what do you guys think?

1226
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:44,280
What are your favorite two 
player games and do you think 

1227
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:48,240
that we were wrong to include 
games that can be played at a 

1228
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:50,200
higher player count? 
I have no problem. 

1229
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:52,720
If you think that we were wrong,
let us know. 

1230
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:55,840
Obviously, yeah, because. 
You're going to have picks that 

1231
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:58,320
we didn't put into there. 
So leave a comment below and let

1232
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:01,280
us know your picks or some 
recommendations as well for us 

1233
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:02,920
indeed. 
So obviously. 

1234
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:05,560
There is going to be 1 elephant 
in the room. 

1235
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:10,320
The one that wins the two player
awards every single year with a 

1236
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:13,120
different version of seemingly 
the same game is of course 

1237
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:16,000
undaunted. 
I have not played. 

1238
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:18,160
Yes, any. 
Undaunted. 

1239
01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:23,400
And I kind of, I've played one. 
But I need someone to be 

1240
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:25,120
committed to playing them with 
me. 

1241
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:27,520
So obviously it was because I 
believe there was one like an 

1242
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:30,120
Undaunted Colisto that was like 
last year or something. 

1243
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:33,920
So yeah, which was highly rated,
but I, I don't know anyone that 

1244
01:00:33,920 --> 01:00:36,400
would bring that to the table or
at least give it a go. 

1245
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:38,360
So I mean, I don't get me wrong 
if you had. 

1246
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:40,880
A copy of it I would probably 
give it a go, but it does not 

1247
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:43,080
scream. 
That's the issue that I'm. 

1248
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:44,560
Going to be that. 
Infused about. 

1249
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:50,360
So yes, that is why there is no 
undaunted mentioned in my list 

1250
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:53,840
for sure, because I haven't 
played it much the same as 

1251
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:57,360
there's quite a few duo slash 
dual games that I haven't 

1252
01:00:57,360 --> 01:00:59,640
played. 
You know, I own living forest 

1253
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:02,520
dual. 
I still haven't played it and 

1254
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:03,920
not to mention new ones that 
will be. 

1255
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:07,800
Coming out later this year like 
White Castle Duel and Flamecraft

1256
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:10,000
Duel there's. 
Loads more still to come yet. 

1257
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,840
So hopefully they'll be in a new
two player list sometime. 

1258
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:16,680
Indeed, you you might even. 
Get a re a revisit of this next 

1259
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:19,880
year where we look at our top 
fives from this year and sort of

1260
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:22,160
go, do you know what we can 
probably change that now and add

1261
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:24,040
this one in here and so on and 
so forth. 

1262
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:30,200
So yeah, as we said, let us know
your opinions on our list and 

1263
01:01:30,200 --> 01:01:33,240
more importantly, what your 
lists are, what recommendations 

1264
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:36,680
you have for us to check out. 
You never know, we might well 

1265
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:38,880
just do it. 
And if you like, we listen to 

1266
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:41,000
like. 
Comment, share and of course 

1267
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:44,680
subscribe that that one there. 
That that, that one there. 

1268
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:46,400
Yeah, It doesn't help for the 
audio. 

1269
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:48,200
No, it doesn't help. 
It's a shame. 

1270
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:50,040
Oh well. 
OK guys. 

1271
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:53,440
So until next time. 
I have been, Jason. 

1272
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:54,720
I've been ants, and you have 
been. 

1273
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:57,440
Watching or listening?
