00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,420
(soft music)

2
00:00:02,420 --> 00:00:06,900
- Welcome to Pick Up and Deliver, the podcast

3
00:00:06,900 --> 00:00:08,220
where I pick up my audio recorder

4
00:00:08,220 --> 00:00:10,100
as I leave the library and deliver an episode

5
00:00:10,100 --> 00:00:11,360
to you while I walk home.

6
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:12,340
I'm Brennan Riley.

7
00:00:12,340 --> 00:00:14,920
(upbeat music)

8
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:23,320
Well good afternoon listeners.

9
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,720
It's a lovely day here in suburban Chicago.

10
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,880
And by lovely I mean it's warm enough

11
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:29,240
that I don't need my jacket,

12
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,800
but it is also on the verge of raining.

13
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,100
So I guess I'll leave you to decide

14
00:00:34,100 --> 00:00:35,600
what counts as lovely.

15
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,160
Nonetheless, I thought I would talk to you

16
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:40,040
a little bit about some games I've been playing recently.

17
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,080
That's right, it's time for another

18
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,320
Board Game Espresso, Triple Shot.

19
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,640
(Brendan makes latte steaming sounds)

20
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,280
Got that latte all prepared?

21
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:50,840
Okay, let's go to it.

22
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,100
Those of you who are new to the podcast,

23
00:00:52,100 --> 00:00:54,840
Board Game Espresso Triple Shot is a short review

24
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,400
episode in which I talk about three games I've tried

25
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:58,920
recently for the first time.

26
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,560
I give a quick first impression of them.

27
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,280
And then usually I talk about one game I've dusted off

28
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,400
or in otherwise played, that's not a brand new game.

29
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,320
These are, you know, on the par of three to five minutes.

30
00:01:11,320 --> 00:01:14,000
So they are very quick first impression.

31
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,840
They should not be taken as a review

32
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,800
and I try to caution about that, but you never know.

33
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,920
So today is the first game that I'm gonna talk about

34
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,720
is Titanic.

35
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,680
This game was published in 2020 and has the cover

36
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:31,680
to match the 1997 James Cameron film of the same name.

37
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,560
It's got Jack and Rose looking at each other,

38
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,880
all lovey-dovey and this game is from Adrian Adamescu

39
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,000
and Daryl Andrews and published by Spin Master Limited.

40
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,400
If those names sound familiar, Adamescu and Andrews

41
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,280
are the designers of Sagrada, which is a better game,

42
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:53,280
just a little.

43
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,560
I'm just kidding, just a lot.

44
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,480
So Titanic is a game that I own because I am really interested

45
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,880
in the Titanic, so I own a bunch of games about the Titanic.

46
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,800
This one in particular is interesting and amusing

47
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,840
and kind of silly that definitely falls

48
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,240
into my novelty game category.

49
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,280
That said, it is the best of the Titanic novelty games

50
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:14,600
that I've played.

51
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,600
In this game, you play either Rose or Jack or Captain Smith

52
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,200
or Cal or Rose's mom.

53
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,240
I can't remember her name,

54
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,760
but those are the five characters that you can play.

55
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,080
The game does not have an inherent positive or negative.

56
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,160
You're not like on teams.

57
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,720
You can win as Cal and it's not seen as being horrible.

58
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,440
That said, each character does have a special ability

59
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,480
that you can use once and you can reset

60
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,280
by going up to the top of the ship.

61
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,800
The mechanisms in Titanic are actually pretty interesting

62
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,560
for a game that's clearly a mass market

63
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,160
game meant for folks who aren't really deep into the hobby.

64
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,320
In Titanic, you are running around in your goal

65
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:02,440
is to get passengers from the ship over to the lifeboat

66
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,600
and then launch them into the ocean.

67
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,600
Different passengers will give you different amounts of points

68
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,920
and there are a limited number of lifeboats

69
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:15,640
and so there's a limited number of passengers who can be saved.

70
00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:19,000
There's also a timer in the game as you're playing

71
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,960
where you're revealing these flood cards

72
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,920
and the ship is flooding from the bottom to the top.

73
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:27,520
You can get these items as well.

74
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,440
The main choices you're making as you're playing

75
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,880
are kind of deciding which way you want to run

76
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,040
and the conflict comes with the other players

77
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,760
as you there are limited spots on the lifeboats

78
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,240
and so you can't get points

79
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:40,920
unless you put people on lifeboats

80
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,840
and other people are competing to put people

81
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:43,880
on those lifeboats.

82
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,000
So it's a pretty simple game.

83
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,880
I won't exaggerate its qualities.

84
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,600
It is a bit more complex than most mass market games

85
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,400
but I think well within the possibility of people playing

86
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,960
who don't play the kinds of games I talk about on here.

87
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,080
The product design is, the art is fine.

88
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,400
The pieces are all pretty crappy.

89
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,200
There are, for instance, there are these rings

90
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,480
that in most games would be a nice thick piece of card stock

91
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,080
and in this game they're like a thin piece of like

92
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:17,080
plastic card stock kind of plasticized stock very thin

93
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,320
as much as I like that because this is meant to be a mass market game.

94
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,560
I think I got it for $10 on sale at Amazon.

95
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,800
I think the full price of it at the store was probably $20.

96
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,760
I can't imagine that it was more than that.

97
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,200
So it's a pretty cheap product.

98
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,760
That said, we had an amusing time playing it.

99
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,560
It is a very standard mass market game.

100
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,360
So from a novelty perspective it is what it is.

101
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:40,280
But I enjoyed it.

102
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:41,520
If you get a chance to play,

103
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,280
if you're a Titanic enthusiast

104
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:45,480
and you get a chance to play a Titanic game,

105
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,600
you should probably play either Deck Chairs on the Titanic

106
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:52,600
or SOS Titanic, but there's worse games to play than Titanic

107
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:53,720
from 2020.

108
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:58,000
The second game I want to talk about today is from

109
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,720
indie boards and cards, designer Jenny Iglesias,

110
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,640
Nick Little and Kevin Riley.

111
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,480
And this is Aeon's End.

112
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,640
Aeon's End is a cooperative game in which you play

113
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:14,320
wizards fighting magical monsters that are attacking your town,

114
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,960
the gimmick of the game is that you have to defend the town.

115
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,120
And so if you let a certain amount of damage get through,

116
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,920
then the town is destroyed and you lose.

117
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,960
You can lose a player without losing the game,

118
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,120
which is a nice twist.

119
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,400
The big thing that makes Aon's End interesting,

120
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,920
it's a deck building game and you never shuffle your deck.

121
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,480
The order you discard your cards in is the order

122
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,160
you're going to draw them in because when you're done

123
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,640
with playing your hand, you're just going to flip it over.

124
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,000
Flip when your deck runs out,

125
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,080
you're going to take your discard pile and just flip it over

126
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,480
and start drawing from them.

127
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:48,720
What was the bottom.

128
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,680
This makes for a really interesting game

129
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,320
because you have to sort of plan as your discarding cards

130
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:55,640
where you're going to put them.

131
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,520
The game is also very specific about when things get discarded

132
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,680
because you have to do it in the right order.

133
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,120
We played a couple rounds of this.

134
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,120
I think we played three games altogether.

135
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,080
We got this as a family game to play,

136
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,720
mostly with my mother-in-law who really enjoys this kind of game

137
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,480
and we've run out of games to play

138
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,120
of Harry Potter Hogwarts Battle. We finished that game.

139
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,920
We completed all of the different missions

140
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,240
and while that game was really fun,

141
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,040
I don't think we want to keep playing it

142
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,520
on missions we've already played.

143
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,800
So I was looking for something that had a similar feel

144
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,200
that was challenging that we wouldn't win every time.

145
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,440
It was interesting.

146
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,560
They had a lot of variety and potential for a lot of expansion

147
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,480
and it turns out Aeon's End is just the trick.

148
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,920
Aeon's End is interesting, it's fun to play,

149
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,560
it's reasonably challenging.

150
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,120
Each enemy is difficult in a different way.

151
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,640
The hero characters play very similarly

152
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,120
but each has their own thing that they do.

153
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,360
There's a variety of different cards

154
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,480
that you can put in the market

155
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,360
so you can change it up that way.

156
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,120
And they've released a ton of expansion content for it.

157
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,240
So after we've played our way through the base villains

158
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,920
and tried out the different heroes,

159
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,600
I can always order another expansion for $15 or $20

160
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,960
and we'll have some new material to play through.

161
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,160
So it looks like Aon's End is gonna be a great fit

162
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,320
for that role in our family gaming.

163
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,440
And yeah, it turns out there's a reason it's rated 7.9.

164
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:13,920
It's pretty dang good.

165
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:14,880
We had a lot of fun with it.

166
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,320
The way the game works, I really like this mechanism too.

167
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,000
You have these spell slots

168
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,160
and each player can cast spells into the spell slots

169
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,640
which then kind of grow for a turn

170
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,400
and then on your next turn you get to actually resolve those spells.

171
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,680
So the game has some options of like,

172
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,480
the enemies might hurt the person

173
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,360
as the most spells waiting the cast

174
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,280
or it might get rid of your best spell

175
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:39,680
or that sort of thing.

176
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,880
So there's some really interesting mechanisms there.

177
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,640
You also can put energy toward opening more spell slots

178
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:45,800
but of course anytime you're doing that,

179
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,640
you're not actually casting spells.

180
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,920
There's a lot of really interesting stuff

181
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,240
where you help each other.

182
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,000
And then the turn order mechanism is neat.

183
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,680
There's a deck of cards that have each of the characters

184
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,360
that are playing and it has two cards for the enemies

185
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,200
and you shuffle up these six cards

186
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,720
and then you go through all six.

187
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,000
So you could go right away at the beginning of the round

188
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,120
or you could not go to the end of the round.

189
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,640
The enemy might go twice in a row.

190
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:12,160
The enemy might go right at the beginning

191
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,480
and then you have like four turns to set up

192
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:16,960
before they're gonna go again.

193
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,640
It's a really interesting mechanism.

194
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,600
It can make for some long downtime though

195
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:21,960
in a four player game.

196
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,840
We did have a couple times where somebody was at the beginning

197
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,360
of one round of play

198
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:27,960
and at the end of the next round of play.

199
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,720
So they actually had like what, five,

200
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,080
10 turns in between their turns,

201
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:34,960
which isn't, isn't great.

202
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,720
But overall pretty fun.

203
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,480
So if you get a chance to play Aeon's End,

204
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:39,640
I highly recommend it.

205
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:40,480
Really good time.

206
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:41,320
We'll be playing it a lot

207
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,160
and I'm sure I'll mention the expansions as we go.

208
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,920
I do always like to talk about a dusty game

209
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,520
and I did dust off a game recently

210
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,520
that is just, it's a little more slow of a game.

211
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:52,440
There's not a lot to it

212
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,520
but it's a good time every now and again.

213
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,240
And this is 'dude' and it's sequel 'more dude'.

214
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,200
The basic premise of the game is pretty simple.

215
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:01,920
You have a card that says dude on it.

216
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,960
You have to say dude in a way that you think evokes

217
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,800
the way that the word dude is written on the card

218
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,120
and then other people will also be saying dude

219
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,920
and you try to figure out if you and another person

220
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,120
are saying dude the same way.

221
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,560
And if you are, you get a point.

222
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:18,120
If you're not, you lose those cards.

223
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,160
We go until someone has gone through all their cards.

224
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,040
It's pretty dumb

225
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,920
but it's a really nice five minutes

226
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,480
or 10 minutes if you play the sequel more dude.

227
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,760
So that's usually I suggest playing two rounds

228
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:31,040
dude and more dude.

229
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,520
And it makes for a very entertaining play

230
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,520
as people interpret how the cards are written

231
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,360
and try to figure out who's matching them.

232
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:41,960
There's not like I said, there's not a lot to it.

233
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,040
I've explained the entire game to you

234
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,680
and frankly most of the inherent depth

235
00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:49,280
at work in the game also.

236
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,120
So it is not something that you should write home about

237
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,680
but I thought of it the other day

238
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:56,840
because I saw somebody was talking about their,

239
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:01,840
I saw somebody was showing their thrift store purchases

240
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,200
and they showed that dude was on the shelf

241
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,480
and they passed it up and I was like,

242
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,120
oh you missed out, not picking up dude.

243
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,680
It's a goofy fun game that you should have checked out.

244
00:10:12,680 --> 00:10:13,920
They're like it looked pretty stupid.

245
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,720
I'm like I didn't say it wasn't stupid.

246
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,160
I just said it's a fun game that you should've checked out.

247
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:23,160
So that is dude designed by Bo Beckett and Jeff Stahl

248
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,600
and published by North Star Game Studio.

249
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,200
Finally the last game I wanna talk about is a game

250
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,120
from Z-man Games from 2015.

251
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,480
So it's a little older, it's called Bastion.

252
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,080
Bastion is a tower defense game

253
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,080
in which you have a castle in the middle of the board

254
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,640
and you have a variety of enemies

255
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,560
that are marching around the side,

256
00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:45,000
trying to attack the castle.

257
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,480
It is a, as a tower defense game,

258
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,480
it feels very similar to sort of slightly more grown-up

259
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,400
castle panic.

260
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,240
I will say I thought it was pretty interesting.

261
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,840
There was a fair amount of conversation back and forth.

262
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,120
My son said he likes castle panic better.

263
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,520
I can see that, I can see why you might.

264
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,680
I thought Bastion was pretty interesting as well.

265
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:08,200
The mechanisms are slightly different.

266
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:09,920
There are these crystals that you're managing

267
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,120
which I thought made for an interesting play.

268
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,320
I think at least after our first play

269
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,360
I didn't say I should sell Bastion,

270
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,400
but I don't think it'll stay in our collection very long.

271
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,040
I think one or two more plays

272
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,640
and that'll probably be enough of that game for me.

273
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,040
And so it will move right along.

274
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,800
On the other hand, I do, there is a game sale at toggle next week

275
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,480
and I wanna bring a few games to sell.

276
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,320
So maybe Bastion will go into that pile.

277
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:35,520
We'll see.

278
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:40,520
But Bastion is from 2015 designed by Evgeny Nikitin

279
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,200
and Nicolay Pegasov, published by Zman Games.

280
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,760
So that brings me to the end of my episode

281
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,160
and my end of my chat with you.

282
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,120
It does make me curious what games have you been playing lately?

283
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,160
Head over to boardgamegeek guild 3269

284
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,920
you can share the games that you've been playing,

285
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:01,000
your recent quick plays and I'd love to hear what those are

286
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,200
so I can compare and say, yeah, that looks good

287
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,000
or no, that doesn't look good or whatever.

288
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,400
You could also email me,

289
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:08,680
Brendan at Rattlebox Games,

290
00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:12,000
or send a geek mail message to Wombat929

291
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,560
which is my boardgamegeek username.

292
00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:16,120
I'd love to hear from you there.

293
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,520
Beyond that, I hope that you have a lovely day

294
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,960
and the ducks are still hanging out at my bird feeder.

295
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,760
So if you listened yesterday or last time,

296
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,480
I left the ducks were there and I'm returning home.

297
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,880
The ducks are still there having a good time,

298
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,200
eating some bird seed.

299
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,160
So, aha, well, I hope that your next walk

300
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,120
is as pleasant as mine was.

301
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:36,960
Bye bye.

302
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,540
(upbeat music)

303
00:12:39,540 --> 00:12:42,120
(out-take beep)

304
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:59,100
Speaking of expansions instead of a dusty game today,

305
00:12:59,100 --> 00:13:01,140
I'm gonna talk about an expansion.

306
00:13:01,140 --> 00:13:03,980
We downloaded the, oh, I'm sorry, nevermind. (blows raspberry)
