WhERes CaTaN?

Love Gloomhaven! Such a great game!

I've got a copy of this right in front of me. It sounds interesting. I'm hoping it will great for our public play events and for non-hobby gamers.

Daniel-left never says the name of his #26. I assume it was Summer Camp.

Hi guys... I think I asked a year ago, but any chance you'd be willing to share your BGG names? For years, I've been gathering data to compile content creators' top games list, and the more info I have, the better. I'm committed to publishing my results in early 2024. Right now, all I've got for the two of you are your top 100 lists. Your BGG ratings would reveal a lot more about your lists (specifically, what you left off them). No pressure though - I figured I'd ask (or, rather, my OCD kicked in and made me ask. :) ). Thanks! - Derek

Can’t believe I won! Thanks so much guys, especially for making it international. I really hope you don’t need to sell a kidney to ship it. Thanks again for doing the giveaway, it was a lot of fun, and look forward to playing marvel united with my son.

Thanks for the vid and giveaway

Keep up the good work guys.

Thanks for the video and giveaway contest!

Great video guys!

First

Out of these two hosts, I definitely would say Daniel carries this podcast. Love the name of this series by the way!

Cool setup guys!!

Keep up the good work 👏

Hi guys... I'm putting together a database of board game content creators' top board game lists. It's a ton of data, but I'm nearly finished. I'm incorporating creators' ratings from BGG. Would you two be willing to share your BGG names so that I can include that info into my database? Many thanks! - Derek

Do you have any plans to do a board game library tour? Would be cool to see both of your collections. I have similar rules to both of you. 1 rule I have is 1 game in 1 game out. I sometimes do not follow this strictly but trying to keep a tight collection instead of just getting volume.

Daniel, you always have the coolest hats. What team or brand are you repping in this video? Great discussion. Keep up the great work!

Nice episode!

Nice one! Entered for the giveaway, thanks!

Look at Mensa as a group for people to meet similar people. If you have 145+ IQ, you are one in a thousand, and probably not just running into others like you. Company leaders with IQs over 125, are generally bad leaders, as they are not good at communicating with employees around 100 IQ for many reasons. Imagine being average (100 IQ) and always being around people with 60-70 IQs or 130-140 IQs, would you seek out others like you? Many people with high IQs felt like outsiders, did not fit in at school, maybe did not even graduate, being bored first half of school and simply giving up as it seemed like a waste of time. The people in Mensa are a broad group, but probably were missing something in their lifes, and remember there are vastly more high IQ persons not joining. Mensans are not claiming to be better just different in some aspects.

I played Magic the Gathering for 25 years, and quit and fell in love with Keyforge. The game gets undermined by Magic players by saying that there is less skill in Keyforge but the reality is that the diversity of Keyforge is far more challenging than playing a set meta. Magic the Gathering is basically playing a preconstructed deck with small options in a large competitive tournament. That doesn't happen in Keyforge. Also it is hard for MtG players to switch their mentality to a rush based game vs. a countdown of life. Most players in keyforge don't practice enough to be able to find the lines that some decks have. KeyForge values the repetition of playing a deck, and not ignoring the fact that there are "better" decks, there are no perfect decks that will win over 90 percent of the time in a competitive meta. I could go on forever but I fully understand that appeal to both. I loved MtG but Keyforge is all about the road and repetition. Keyforge is just as competitive as Magic and maybe more so. It is just a different type of game, and the bias that comes from the 25 years of gameplay is hard to let go. Familiarity breeds complacency and most MTG players solve nothing they mimic the pros, and people who actually solve them. So that point is moot to me. The cost of MTG is also insane for new players. Keyforge will payoff in loads if you spent a tenth of a proper Modern deck. I am always willing to debate this as I run leagues and have podcasts, I love Keyforge because I was able to see the value, and I love both games to a degree but I am all KF at this point. Magic is a money vacuum that is almost impossible for a casual to be competitive in when you look at the cash that goes into it.

If you like chess the you will love hive

1:01:00 Great vid but that scene could go on the everyday podcast outtakes lol

One of the major deciding factors for me deciding on what to back is the likelyhood or un-likelyhood that it will make it to retail. The less likely it is to make it to retail, the higher on the list it is to back. For 2 main reasons; 1. the nearest game store is an hour away, so on the off chance a game DOES make it to retail the odds of me getting out to the store are slim, and 2. assuming the game doesn't make it to retail, and i want the game later my only recourse will be a third party seller (like ebay or such) at the risk of an exorbitant mark-up. Some other factors include how much the theme and aesthetic appeals to me, what kind of exclusives there are, and can it be played solo (I look almost exclusively for games that can be played solo, with the sole exception being Ankh because the Egyptian theme was too cool to pass up).

To be fair, regarding the Westworld suggestion, the TV series is actually based on the film Westworld from the early 70s.

It was actually really fascinating hearing Curt's thought process regarding the raven in Nevermore because (and I'm not sure any of you are aware of it) there is an old movie called The Raven (very loosely based on the Poe poem) starring Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, and Peter Lorre where they play 3 sorcerors and the film starts out with one of them having been turned into a raven by one of the others.

Tyrants of the Underdark is a deck building, area control, d&d themed game. *That is different than Merchants of the Dark Road on kickstarter.

Daniel had the better board game ideas;)

Good video and interesting idea! I think that Carcassonne 3d idea would be awesome! My idea would be a cross between dominion and terraforming mars, I imagine terraforming mars board and end game conditions except with about 10 projects in the center of the board that every one can buy and have access too these projects ( perhaos about 10 projects per stack idk) no idea how it would end up but probably bad lol. I think the dominion catan you mentioned could work well also

Good vid and interview!

Yeah a game rated 120 mins and weighted that complex is probably going to narrow your market by a lot.

Thank you. Stay safe as well

Great interview guys. Stay safe!

Kickstarter now on July 14! : ) Thanks Daniel x2. It was great talking with you - on some very deep cuts.

Loved It!
