00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,940
Welcome to Pick Up and Deliver, the podcast where I pick up my audio recorder as I step

2
00:00:06,940 --> 00:00:11,120
out the door and deliver an episode to you while I walk around.

3
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:15,320
I'm Brendan Riley.

4
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:22,480
Good afternoon.

5
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:23,480
Good morning listeners.

6
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:29,520
It's a lovely warm day here in suburban Chicago and boy oh boy is it full of cicadas.

7
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:36,120
I'm walking carefully to avoid stepping on them but oh man there are so so so many.

8
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,400
It's going to be a gross day.

9
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,200
The birds are sure enjoying it though.

10
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:41,200
Very tasty.

11
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:42,680
Well it's been a little bit since I talked to you.

12
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:47,840
I had a week of finals and graduation and I officiated a wedding.

13
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:48,840
Now I'm back.

14
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:49,840
I'm going to get as many episodes...

15
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:55,280
I'm going to try to do five episodes this week one every day and the goal of that is

16
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,720
to get to the point where I've stacked myself up to be able to broadcast through next week.

17
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,320
Next week is going to be very busy for my family as well.

18
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:06,880
My daughter is graduating high school and we have a whole slew of family activities planned.

19
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:11,960
They're going to mean I don't get a lot of work done and I do get a lot of fun done

20
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:14,200
but I don't get a lot of podcasting time.

21
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:19,920
So we'll see if I can come up with five topics to record over the next five days so that

22
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:25,360
the episodes can be racked and stacked and ready for broadcast.

23
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,480
Well I'm taking the easy way out today.

24
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:34,080
Today our first episode of the week is going to be a board game espresso episode.

25
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,960
That's right it's a board game espresso triple shot.

26
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:44,200
So in the board game espresso episode I pick out three games that I played recently for

27
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,800
the first time and one game that I've dusted off and I talk about them a little bit here

28
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:49,800
on the show.

29
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,320
I'll give you a little bit of insight to what the games are like and I'll share with you

30
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:55,560
what I think of them.

31
00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:01,800
Once again these are a quick review segment so I generally don't have deep thoughts on

32
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:07,080
the games but I can give you an idea of what they are and whether they're worth playing.

33
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,280
As always I'd love to hear from you your thoughts about these games or any other games you've

34
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:11,720
been playing recently.

35
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:18,440
You can always share those thoughts with me over on boardgamegeek guild 3269.

36
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,400
So why don't we jump right in?

37
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:27,160
Our first game of the podcast is a simple party game from the exploding kittens

38
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,320
group and that is REALLY LOUD LIBRARIANS.

39
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,200
I picked this up at a goodwill.

40
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,880
It is the kind of game that's pretty fun once in a while.

41
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:41,240
I wouldn't want to play it a lot and I could see why if you had it as your main game in

42
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:46,120
your collection you probably wouldn't play it all that often either.

43
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,760
It was designed by Ian Claimen, Ken Grool and Quentin Weir and published by

44
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:51,760
Exploding Kittens.

45
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,960
It has the signature Oatmeal style artwork so when you look at the game you really know

46
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,200
oh yeah that's an Exploding Kittens game.

47
00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:59,200
So how's it work?

48
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:04,800
The game comes with some pretty nice components, a dual layered board with a sort of track that

49
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:11,000
runs around in a circle and on that track are a series of letters.

50
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,880
They're not random and it's not every letter in the alphabet or they are random in order

51
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:21,480
and it's not every letter on the alphabet but more the common letters.

52
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,760
There's also a couple spots where it's like more than one letter and you can pick 

53
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:25,760
one to use.

54
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:32,200
And then you have this cutout piece which shows a sort of hilarious librarian and you have

55
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:38,320
this weird set of two plastic rings on a swivel and so the way the game work are three

56
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,000
plastic rings on a swivel.

57
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,760
So you put the librarian into the plastic rings into the first of the plastic rings and

58
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:49,680
then you set the whole contraption into the track and now it happens is when you slide the

59
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:55,840
contraption along the track the rings, the two rings the librarian isn't in are covering

60
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:01,480
maybe three rings are covering letters on the track circling them and then that tells

61
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,560
you which letters are active for this round.

62
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:11,200
And then it is essentially a brainstorming or listing style game in the spirit of something

63
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,720
like TAPPLE except it's a team game where you're trying to get as many answers as

64
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:15,720
you can.

65
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,600
So I guess it's more like Mr. Lister's Quiz Shootout is probably the closest game I can

66
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,000
think of in terms of play time or play style.

67
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:29,480
Anyway so what you do in the game is you draw a category and then your team oh my gosh

68
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,480
there's so many cicadas.

69
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,720
So you draw a category and then your team is trying to name as many things that fit into

70
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,800
that category as they can as quickly as they can.

71
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:44,200
So and then the things they have to name have to start with the letter that is circled

72
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:49,160
by the librarian and then you move the librarian apparatus up to the letter you used.

73
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,080
So for example if you have the library the librarian sitting in the track and the letters

74
00:04:53,080 --> 00:05:00,600
that are available are N, D, and, A and it says name a city somebody says Albuquerque then

75
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,600
you move the librarian up so it's covering the A and now the circles are surrounding three

76
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:05,600
different letters.

77
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:10,280
You continue that way until the time runs out and then you see how far around the track

78
00:05:10,280 --> 00:05:11,280
did you get.

79
00:05:11,280 --> 00:05:15,160
Actually the game comes with a once around the track or twice around the track meter so

80
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,880
that because if you're going really well you could get pretty far around the track even

81
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,120
more than once.

82
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,520
You mark where you got to and that's the other team's turn.

83
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:27,680
Generally I think you take two turns and whichever team got farther wins.

84
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,000
It's a pretty simple game.

85
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,000
Takes about 10 minutes to play.

86
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,400
It's the kind of game you would want to play a bunch of times I think.

87
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,240
And it's a fun silly thing.

88
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,960
It doesn't feel that much different than any other kind of speed listing game.

89
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,440
The team element is neat and the components are amusing.

90
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,160
The theme, yeah take it or leave it who cares what they're really loud librarians I don't

91
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:48,360
even understand that.

92
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:53,800
I guess it's a memorable title so that's really loud librarians published by 

93
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:54,800
the exploding kittens company.

94
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,040
Next up we have the party game of the moment.

95
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:05,000
I've heard numerous podcasts and other luminaries bring this game up and with good reason

96
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,440
it's pretty fun.

97
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:12,040
This is the very simple deck of cards party game THAT'S NOT A HAT.

98
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,040
That's not a hat.

99
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:18,920
Like I said it's a simple deck of cards with little sort of iconographic shapes on them.

100
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,640
The drawings are pretty simple.

101
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,280
They look like they're kind of done by hand.

102
00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:24,560
They're not super elaborate.

103
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,000
And the idea is that you are, everybody can count it's how what they are.

104
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:34,000
This game is designed by the way by Casper Lap and published in the US by Ravensberger.

105
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:39,440
In the game everybody gets a card and that card is face up in front of them showing the

106
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,680
object that they have in front of them.

107
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:47,160
Then one person draws another card shows everybody what it is, flips it face down and gives

108
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,680
it away to somebody else.

109
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:55,080
That person says thank you for the card the thing they just got and then gives away the

110
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,520
other, flips the other card that they had which was previously face up, face down and

111
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:00,760
gives that away to somebody else.

112
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,760
Now who you give it to it's one of your neighbors.

113
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:07,040
You'll have an arrow on the card that tells you that and when you give the card away you

114
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,040
say what it is.

115
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,800
So if you show everyone a toaster then you flip the card over and you say this is a toaster

116
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,280
and you give it to somebody they say thank you.

117
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,360
The trick of the game is as it goes along it gets harder and harder to remember what each

118
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:19,360
card is.

119
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,160
Sometimes you forget what the card in front of you is.

120
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:26,240
Sometimes you forget what cards other people have and so what happens is over time you're

121
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:32,720
saying you know this is a toaster, this is a hammer, this is a tool belt, this is a sandwich.

122
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:37,680
And at some point you'll forget what the card is or you might forget what the card is.

123
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:42,720
At which point then you say at which point then you tell the person what the thing is and

124
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:47,280
they might not believe you either they know that you're wrong or they think maybe you're

125
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:48,280
wrong.

126
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,880
Either way now they have a decision to make.

127
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:55,400
Do they accept the thing that you've offered or do they refuse it?

128
00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:00,240
If they accept it then they just say thank you and now they're stuck with this thing and

129
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,280
they're not 100% sure what it is.

130
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,320
They might remember from before you got it what it was so even though you told them one thing

131
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,720
they were wrong and they know they're wrong but you would take it anyway.

132
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,040
You shouldn't do that but you could or more likely you don't know what it is either but

133
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,440
you're not willing to challenge and challenge them on it so you take it too.

134
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,360
Then you give away your thing and the game keeps going.

135
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,320
Eventually someone will think that the card they're getting is not what's on the card

136
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:28,680
and they'll say that's not a hat or that's not a hot dog or whatever the person just says

137
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:35,000
it was then you flip it over whoever was wrong takes the card as a penalty and it goes

138
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,400
into their display.

139
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:42,040
Then after that the person who got took the penalty draws a new card and starts the next

140
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,440
round.

141
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,560
That's how it goes the game goes until somebody has three penalties in front of them and

142
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:50,640
then the person with the fewest person or persons with the fewest penalty cards in front

143
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:51,640
of them wins the game.

144
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:56,560
Like I said it takes about 10 minutes maybe 15 if you have a big group and it's pretty

145
00:08:56,560 --> 00:08:57,560
fun.

146
00:08:57,560 --> 00:09:03,360
It's a dumb goofy memory game but it's amusing and easy to play really easy to teach.

147
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,080
It's a good starter or under for the night.

148
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:10,840
The one caveat I have and I discovered this in one of my plays recently is that if you

149
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,800
have a group of people especially in a line who are not inclined to challenge the card

150
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:20,640
at all then you get this weird thing where they just pass the cards back and forth then

151
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,840
nobody ever takes the penalty or challenges anything and that's not fun.

152
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:29,520
And part because you win by the person who has the fewest penalties wins and there's no

153
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:35,800
way to gain points by doing nothing you can stay tied for first or almost nothing.

154
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:40,960
Especially some one person in between two people who are not inclined to take action that

155
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,560
person in the middle can get a long way.

156
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:51,760
That part is very frustrating but that part is frustrating because of that bad experience.

157
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,560
So that's not a hat.

158
00:09:53,560 --> 00:09:54,560
Is that game?

159
00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:55,560
Pretty fun.

160
00:09:55,560 --> 00:09:57,880
I recommend trying it if you get a chance.

161
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:58,880
Well worth your time.

162
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,160
I want to talk about a game I've revisited recently.

163
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,640
This is Strike.

164
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,600
Strike is a fun little dice rolling game.

165
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,280
Some people call it a...

166
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,440
In the theme of the game is it's a battle between...

167
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:11,440
It's a battle.

168
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,520
The dice are gladiators battling in an arena.

169
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,960
The reality is you're rolling dice into a bowl and you're trying to have the dice come

170
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,400
up as pairs.

171
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:24,000
Whenever you roll a die into a bowl or dice into the bowl.

172
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,840
You get a pair.

173
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,600
The way the game works is you roll a die into the bowl.

174
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:33,960
If it comes up as the same result as one of the other dice in the bowl then you get to

175
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,600
take both of those dice out and you score them.

176
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,400
Then your turn is over.

177
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:44,920
If you don't make a match you can then take another die and roll that into the bowl too.

178
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,840
Try to make a match with one or more of the dice that are in there.

179
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,440
If that doesn't work then you do it again.

180
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,760
You keep doing it until either you choose to stop,

181
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,840
you take some dice out of the bowl because you made a match, or you run out of dice.

182
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,680
If you run out of dice you're out of the game.

183
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:04,400
If you take some dice out of the bowl your turn is over.

184
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:05,480
Next person's turn.

185
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:10,680
If you have it to clear all the dice out of the bowl like you roll in there and you get

186
00:11:10,680 --> 00:11:16,920
a pair and you're only the two dice in there then you take all the dice out and the next

187
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,160
player has to roll all their dice in.

188
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:23,040
If they don't get any pairs when they roll all their dice in they lose.

189
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,600
The game goes until there's only one winner left.

190
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:26,600
Strike is a silly game.

191
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:32,000
Oh, the last thing is the dice you're rolling have sides 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and X.

192
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,720
No matter what if you roll an X that die is lost.

193
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:41,520
I think we take that die out of that die leaves the game if you roll an X which is not

194
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,960
fun when it's your die.

195
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:51,960
That's strike.

196
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:51,960
It's a silly game not very complicated, pretty easy to play, pretty fast to play if you play

197
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,760
with a group of like 5 or 6 maybe it takes 15 minutes.

198
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:59,320
But of course it does have the downside of people getting eliminated but that's okay.

199
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:00,320
It's really short.

200
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,600
15 is actually probably an exaggeration.

201
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,760
Maybe with 6 people it would take that long but chance that it would take less.

202
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:06,920
So that's strike.

203
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,120
I did not look up the designer on that one.

204
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:10,480
It's been published a number of times.

205
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,760
I have an older copy with the dark purple color.

206
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,760
They do make a new edition.

207
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:22,880
They actually was just reprinted sometime in the last few months in the last year and so

208
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,680
you certainly could get a more recent copy if you were so inclined.

209
00:12:26,680 --> 00:12:31,040
The designer is Dieter Nubli and it's published by Ravensberger.

210
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:36,160
Finally the last game I have to talk about today is Wild: Serengeti.

211
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:37,160
You know what I said?

212
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:38,760
I didn't just say Wild Serengeti.

213
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,800
I said Wild: Serengeti.

214
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,280
I guess it's because without saying 'colon' I don't know how to pronounce a colon but that's

215
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:46,280
what it is.

216
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,640
Wild: Serengeti has a colon which I presume suggests there might be other games later that

217
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,240
follow a similar pattern.

218
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,480
As far as I know there weren't any published but that's okay.

219
00:12:55,480 --> 00:13:01,880
The game is published by the designer is Gung Ho Kim with artists Han Yihong and Sophia

220
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:06,640
Kang published by Bad Comment and I believe it was a Kickstarter game.

221
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,840
I picked it up at Goodwill.

222
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,240
And you know it's a winner for my family.

223
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,800
It was long but really had a good time and we're definitely going to keep it and try it again.

224
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,480
So in Wild: Serengeti you are a nature photographer.

225
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:25,280
You're trying to develop a documentary about the Serengeti by filming lots of cool animals

226
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:31,040
in the Serengeti and figuring out where they are and what they look like.

227
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,640
You can take actions and those actions what you spend resources to put creatures out onto

228
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:36,640
the board.

229
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,560
Different animals.

230
00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:43,720
There are maybe 12 different animals in the game and each of those animal types comes

231
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:49,800
with a different meatball or a little wooden cutout of the animal type.

232
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:56,280
And you're arranging them on this habitat board that has four different types of habitat.

233
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:03,360
There's meadow, there's forest, there's rocks, there's water.

234
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,960
And the animals can all go on any of the parts.

235
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:10,440
What we're trying to do is get them into an arrangement where you can complete a shot.

236
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,400
So you have these cards or a scene.

237
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:13,400
You have these cards.

238
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,400
They represent scenes from your documentary that you're trying to get.

239
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,600
And so when you find animals in a particular arrangement you can complete the scene and that

240
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,480
will help you score points at the end.

241
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:27,960
But the scenes also provide you bonuses and those bonuses become the engine of the game.

242
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:34,040
So as you solve scenes you can need these bonuses and some of the bonuses are end game scoring.

243
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:40,880
So completing those scenes doesn't help your in-game engine but it does help keep the points

244
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:41,880
high.

245
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,360
Other cards will give you more resources and there are a number of different resources that

246
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,520
you can use.

247
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:52,200
Or they'll let you draw more cards or sort of speed up other things in the game.

248
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:58,320
So there's an element of doing things gives you the efficiency to do more things.

249
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,880
And as such your momentum builds over the course of the game.

250
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,880
The game ran a little bit long for us.

251
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:10,800
It has to do with the number of times that you go through a particular thing as I recall.

252
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,600
In a four player game you go through it twice.

253
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,560
I think in a two player game you would go through it once or three times I mean.

254
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:21,440
And the idea is that you are getting more and more of these scenes completed and thus

255
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:22,760
gaining points.

256
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,320
The art in Wild: Serengeti is pretty good.

257
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:31,200
It's not amazing but it looks nice and makes you want to play the game more.

258
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,640
The components, the wooden pieces for the animals look really nice.

259
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,160
The rest of the components are fine.

260
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,320
Nothing amazing but nothing that stands out as bad either.

261
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:44,680
I think this game definitely feels like a kickstarter in that it probably needed a little

262
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:45,680
more development.

263
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,480
It's not as smooth as it could be.

264
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:49,880
And that shows.

265
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,120
But at the same time it's pretty well made.

266
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:53,120
It's entertaining.

267
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,120
The rulebook is pretty clear.

268
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,920
I was able to understand the game from reading the rulebook and teach the game from reading

269
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,240
the rulebook.

270
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:03,200
And I only had to look up a few things online although I do recall that some of the things

271
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,480
felt pretty significant in terms of gaps.

272
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,960
All in all though, Wildsare and Getty is a pretty great experience as a game play.

273
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:12,680
We had a fun time of it.

274
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,800
In the long run I don't see us.

275
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:19,560
It's not going to be a favorite game but it certainly will be one way to hang on for

276
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:24,320
on to for a while and play occasionally because it's amazing and cute.

277
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:30,040
And a fun game about animals in the wild without involving actually like killing the animals

278
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,120
in the wild, which is nice.

279
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:33,680
So that's Wild: Serengeti.

280
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,000
Well those are three games I played recently and one game I dusted off.

281
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,000
I'm keen to hear from you.

282
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,920
What are some games you've played recently?

283
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:44,400
Head over to Boardgamegeek Guild 3269 and let me know your thoughts about games that

284
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:45,400
you've played.

285
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,640
What games might you like to play in the future?

286
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:48,840
Which of these games have you played?

287
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,640
What are your opinions about these games that you've played?

288
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,480
It gets very complicated very quick.

289
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:54,920
But I'd love to hear from you.

290
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,600
If you want to send me a message, the easiest way to do that is send a message to Wombat929

291
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,200
on Board Game Geek.

292
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,640
You can also send me an email, Brendan at Rattlebox Games, or you can post in our forum.

293
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,640
Board Game Geek Guild 3269.

294
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,000
Any of those things should get to me and I would love to hear from you your thoughts about

295
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,000
the show and particularly about what effect we'll have on today.

296
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,720
Well thanks for joining me in my walk today.

297
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,760
I hope your next walk is as pleasant as mine will.

298
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:17,760
Bye bye.
