Comedic timing on point. I'm so glad the TH-cam algorithm showed me this.. like why TH-cam.. but also... Thanks????

[@thegrouchynerd]

Ha! Well, I’m glad you enjoyed it, even if it was a weird detour!

I already know how to play, I came for the comedy. Was not disappointed.

[@thegrouchynerd]

Haha, thanks!!

I just came across an old PNP version of this, and thought I might revisit it. Not sure I like the game much, but I greatly enjoyed your video for it. Thanks.
And I also enjoyed watching you on Parks and Recreation 🙃

[@thegrouchynerd]

Haha, thanks a lot!
I think it’s a fun little way to kill 25 minutes. Certainly not deep enough to be your only solo game, but it’s less brutal than a lot of solo games.

I would be about a third of the way through “move this card behind that card which you cut to another card which you rotate” before shouting to the footman to fetch the brandy.
That’s how confused I would be. I would think I had a footman. It might be the drab palette.
That hole punched in cards gimmick is a nice touch.

It is pretty beige. I think it’s supposed to be like parchment? Pretty solid little game, none the less!

Do you have any interest in making a video talking about your favorite solo games?

[@thegrouchynerd]

Maybe sometime down the line!

When i was 20 I thought it would be cool to join the NSA and try to break codes from the Russians, that would have been less complicated than this game.

[@thegrouchynerd]

Haha! No! It’s honestly not too bad, I promise!
