That's awesome! Soon we hope to get a game in. We are really looking forward to it.

Thank you so much. Weight loss is a serious challenge and we know you can do it too! Finding something that works for you and you can be supported with in your daily life can be a challenge. Stick with it. 150 miniatures painted is definitely awesome. I always wanted to paint Rebellion, but Suzanne may not be so happy with me if I tell her that one can't be played until it's painted! LOL Keep playing games and having fun.

Congratulations on the game room progress. We'll see if we can make it to Geekway. There are so many great conventions!

We are so excited to get these to the table....They just happened to arrive during our busiest point in the year.

@@wiscodice_main Congratulations

I don't believe either of us got a chance to look at that one when we were at the show. We'll have to keep an eye out for more details.

I bought that one! I’d be happy to bring it sometime.

You two were the best guilds! Thanks for helping to make my first Gencon smooth and tons of fun! Highlights for me- I loved walking the vendor room floor and getting the chance to try so many cool new games. I did grab both Rock Hard and Gnome Hollow-I’m happy to share them sometime too.

@@gypsymoonbeam5071 It was absolutely our pleasure. We're also looking forward to getting both Rock Hard and Gnome Hollow a try.....

We know what that feels like!

To say we were just a little excited was an understatement. The biggest challenge now is figuring out where we want to start unboxing!

@@wiscodice_main enjoy it for me!

We definitely are!

Certainly not our intent to crush spirits. If we did not pick up all of these games we wouldn't be able to provide all of the great content that we do. We hope you enjoy some of the upcoming reviews on these games!

GenCon is a large, annual tabletop gaming convention held in Indianapolis, Indiana USA for 4 days. There are about 70000 attendees this year and it's full of Game demos, games to play, seminars, and so much more!

Someone in the surrounding crowd likely

It was and we definitely would like to play it again.

They are all good games. Sky Rockets is a little stressful, but its really fun and fairly quick. There's a reason we picked up or played all of these games already.

There was a rediculous amount of fun that was had at the table when it was played. Everyone had a great time. It's worth checking out!!!!

Glad it was helpful!

We certainly think they will all be great additions to some already good games!

We hope you find all of the games you want at the show!

@@wiscodice_main I’m going with no list….this way I won’t be disappointed lol. Just going to enjoy whatever I stumble upon.

@@gypsymoonbeam5071 There are lots of ways to enjoy Gen Con.

Thanks! We're Sinking wasn't on our list to check out, but it has us intrigued. Suzanne isn't the biggest social deduction game player. However, this looks like a great mix of board game and social deduction aspects!

@@wiscodice_main I got a chance to play it at Origins, I never considered it a social deduction per say. More of a prisoner's dilemma. It's kinda hard to explain. It's not really a semi-coop. There are opportunities for lots of collaboration and backstabbing but there is only one winner at the end so you gotta figure out when and how to set yourself apart depending on if the ship sinks or is saved.

That sounds better and better! We'll check it out at Gen Con!

Thanks! We love talking to publishers. If there is ever anything you want to know about the publishing process please let us know!

Glad you enjoyed it. I think we wanted to make it clear that this campaign is not for everyone. Scythe is Suzanne's top Euro style game so we really enjoy the game and the new components and factions will become staples for us in future games.

The player who dominated with wins definitely played very well. I wouldn't say anyone was weak though.

Thank you. We love a good cute game. Oranges and Lemons just sounds unique. We look forward to seeing it and learning more!!!

You're welcome! Suzanne has great taste in finding games at Gen Con. We hope you have a great time at Gen Con. Is this your first time or are you a seasoned veteran of Gen Con?

Thanks. We're making a number of small changes to the audio show currently. We do not pay for podcast hosting so this is all us figuring out how to manually tweek the RSS feed and do the graphic work on our own. This is the same audio show that feeds into iTunes and other podcast applications so stay tuned over the next few audio shows that we upload for changes.

No time like the present to get started! We love our gaming space and it keeps growing. We're doing really good on weight loss. Thanks for asking. Suzanne started a fairly strict Keto diet which has really kicked up our weight loss. We'll be doing an update on our goals video hopefully soon so stay tuned ;)

Let us know if you have heard this one: Not sure how they came up with this thing called points, but whoever has the most at the end wins. Amazing concept! Haha!!!!!

@@wiscodice_main That's crazy! What will they think of next? 🤣

Who knows!

That is a good game. We had fun playing it as a family. We haven't yet played our finished copy.

We do say one cannot have too many games!

We didn't mention, or think about, buying a new copy of a game we own. Very good point!

Sleeving all of your games, especially with a big game collection can become expensive in a hurry! A little etiquette and understanding at the table can go a long ways!

I'll be doing more of these videos as time permits. Being a GM is hard and even being a forever DM for over 30 years I feel like I have learned a few things. There are so many resources out there to help these days it's truly amazing. Do you have any current challenges that you wish someone covered?

Thanks. It's one of our favorite stories for obvious reasons!

More are on the table to paint!

We do concur about the Africa goals potentially causing some concerns or challenges. There are so many options for ways to score points in this game that we haven't really found those end game scoring cards to be a major factor in the final outcome of the game.

Ha! I haven't had the pleasure of you playing D&D at my table...yet ;)

Thank you!

My players generally think so. I've gamed with alot of groups and usually keep my games together for 2+ years. To do that, I tend to find establishing a good structure and expectations allows for everyone to focus on a good time. It also helps weed out problem players, which if you end up with a few ever in a group...well, it's then that you wish you had that foundation of expectations. Every table is different though! ~Conesy

We find that it has some great table presence.

Hopefully there will be some space in shelves, but otherwise they will be moved to accommodate new games. And when we cull, that should give us some open spaces to fill in for thr next year. It sounds like a lot of work, but is easier than spending 10 min to find one game (which is what happens now).

Thanks for your words of encouragement! We will definitely check in with you on the vacation/Gen-Con shape goals. They will get easier when it stops snowing in WI!

Thank you! Water consumption here is definitely up. Really appreciate the encouragement. It means so much to us.

That's awesome! A dedicated game table isn't the right answer for everyone right away and having all of those mats will give you some really cool options. We hope you really enjoy what the topper adds to your gaming experience. It sounds fantastic!!!

@@wiscodice_main I'm glad you like the vinyl storage solution for your mats! It doesn't work for really large mats (I use a dresser drawer for those), but works great for the majority of my mats. Also, congrat's on continuing with your weight loss journeys. Seeing progress is the biggest motivator (for me, anyway) and it can be really discouraging when you don't see the results you hope for. Keep it up! Remodeling our basement is a resolution for 2024 & 2025, with demolition and waterproofing in 2024 and the actual remodel (to include a nice big board gaming area) in 2025. Interest rates these days make it almost impossible to accomplish large home improvement projects all at once unless you have the cash on hand.

@@jmkoeller Really works well for us! Conesy is going to build a rack for storage of his wargame mats (3x3 feet, 4x4 feet, and 4x6 feet mats for the most part) that will be like a little cart. That should take care of most/all of our really big mats.

: )

@@wiscodice_main (=) D

Nice!

We hear that a lot. We own Lancashire and really enjoy it.

Thanks for all of the kind words. We'll have more 2-player game coverage in the near future. It's also really important during those long gaming sessions to get small breaks to move around, eat, and just have a second to mentally reset.
