West and Jesse, it means so much to me as a new indie publisher that you would take the time to play and showcase An Age Contrived. Thank you for making such an effort to hunt down indie games. It really speaks to the roots and values of Quackalope.
Thank you so much for the shout out y'all! It was a blast getting to play The Great Rat Wars with West! Next time I'd love to work with Jesse to take him on and show him the true power of the Humans' synergies.
I'm so excited for Mycelium. I'm in on anything mushroom themed and the aesthetic is so good! Edit: I was actually already a backer, but I'm even more confident in my decision now.
Thanks so much for stopping by and playing Catharsis. We are so happy to hear such high praises and hope you have a wonderful time adventuring through the numerous boss decks with your favorite characters.
Loved the hardboiled film noir impressions! Thank you so much for stopping by our alleyway and trying out The Big Shuffle. We really wanted people to feel transported to that era and finally grab our product. It took many years of illustration, Design QA, and monochromatic blood/sweat/tears. So we really appreciate the spotlight on both our design and thematic artwork. We love your videos, and thanks for supporting the indies!
Hey, West and Jesse, thanks for visiting us at PAX and the kind words about our game! We enjoyed playing with you and look forward to more people playing!
Thank you guys so much for the kind words. I'm beyond proud to have The Last Summit on a list with these awesome indie games. And if you ever want to get another game on, I always like to see how much chaos you'll bring to apocalypse. Or a drum roll...
I have been following "An Age Contrived" for several months already and I got to demo it at Essen, we got a few turns only but I didn't want to stop playing! Such a good game! I am backing Mycelium at the moment, because a few months ago I ran into the illustrations of the artists on Instagram and I immediately loved the characters. There were even short animation sprites in their profile. Imagine my joy when I saw they were releasing a board game around those adorable mushling characters! Furthermore, they partnered up with people who knows how to make a good game design and that's what makes me extremely excited about about the prospect of that campaigning! Just amazing! Thank you for the reviews of the other games, I will be sure to check them out more and follow-up on their releases because quite a few of them look like I will certainly enjoy playing them!
I love that you two are working together even more, there’s great chemistry there! Also I appreciate the slight step back from the heavy campaign miniature games, a variety of game genres definitely keeps me more interested in the channel! Great job on the video!
I did see The Big Shuffle at PAX and love the film noir design of the game. Also saw The Great Rat Wars and hope my fellow Brooklynites are successful when they bring the game to KS in 2023. An Age Contrived looks intriguing and I'm going to investigate further. Thanks, West, for checking out all these indie publishers! Looks like it was a lot of fun.
This may be the best / most fun video I've seen of yours. As far as I'm concerned, great job!!! 2nd - I also hate you for this video too. Why? Well I swore off kickstarter after andromedas edge has launched. Oh but wait, what is this age contrived game??? Ugh it looks so interesting....nnnooo..... Also as a final note, the unpublished room sounds great!
I've played The Last Summit! I appreciate a game that lets me be a naive carebear at the same table as ruthless would-be world dictators. Would recommend to anyone.
Hey, Jan took a step back over a year ago to focus on his carer in architecture. The game space and the startup space did not fit his goals. West, is on the team full time now.
@@Quackalope So you're not only verbally talented! There's much more than meets the eye then.. Well done. P.S. I saw your review for Dark Venture Battle of the Ancients and I must admit I like others review of it better. You are amazing with words, but I really REALLY would prefer in the time that I choose to invest watching your channel, to watch you talk much more about mechanics than theme and atmosphere... Don't get me wrong: when you talk "all around" with your adorable descriptions and all - I can listen to you all day... It's pleasant, it's enjoyable, it has its charm... The problem is that... LIFE'S TOO SHORT. And I haven't got all day 😕 So my review.. to you.. if you'll accept it.. Is - When you're making a review, Please be much more focused! Focus on gameplay, focus of letting us be as certain as possible if a game which we never played - is either for us or not. LESS POETRY (.. although I'll absolutely read your book if you'll ever write one..), and MORE PURPOSE. Beside that, you're pretty awesome dude.
What one do you want the most?
What Indi-Gem did we miss?
Age Contrived looks very intriguing.
I'm so much looking forward to an age contrived! Got the chance to have a look at it at SPIEL and it looked really intriguing!
West and Jesse, it means so much to me as a new indie publisher that you would take the time to play and showcase An Age Contrived. Thank you for making such an effort to hunt down indie games. It really speaks to the roots and values of Quackalope.
I am so glad we got a chance to dive in!

Our pleasure!
Thank you so much for the kind words about Mycelium! My friend also picked up a copy of Catharsis and I'm excited to play it. Looks like a ton of fun!
I am 100% in on this campaign and I hope we can get some additional content out for you!

Thanks again! I can't wait to dig into it further!

Haha XD we did our best - thanks for putting on such a amazing show!
You were lovely patrons at the con and when the community is is this supportive, creators can thrive 😃
We are doing our best to grow our hobby!
I have both of my eyeballs firmly planted on Age of Contrived. They have had an amazing marketing campaign and active Facebook group. Totally hyped.
Oh, very nice! I can't wait to dive in more!
Hey, West and Jesse, thanks for visiting us at PAX and the kind words about our game! We enjoyed playing with you and look forward to more people playing!
There's a card called "Scary Noises." That'll do it. And it looks like it fits in a single deck box. I'm sold.
Speaking as someone who played and won Last Summit at PAX Unplugged this year… it’s a fantastic game.
Thank you guys so much for the kind words. I'm beyond proud to have The Last Summit on a list with these awesome indie games. And if you ever want to get another game on, I always like to see how much chaos you'll bring to apocalypse. Or a drum roll...
Any time! Glad we got a chance to check it out :)

Catharsis, Big Shuffle, Fables End, the great rat war and dinos vs robots all sound amazing! Thanks for this!
They are! Thanks for watching :)
I love that you two are working together even more, there’s great chemistry there! Also I appreciate the slight step back from the heavy campaign miniature games, a variety of game genres definitely keeps me more interested in the channel! Great job on the video!
Awesome list! Can't believe I missed some of these. Have to agree that the cuteness of Mycelium made me an instant backer :D
Glad you enjoyed! XD I am in that campaign haha
Smooth sponsor moment! And so glad to see Inhuman Conditions to get more coverage! Love that it’s available as print and play from the creators.
Totally agree!

So glad we could share them all with you! :) and glad you found some on your own!
So happy you got to come check us out at PAX!
Oh and I'm so happy to see our Samurai in the videos image as well! Didn't notice it at first. Unmei was our first character and my personal favorite~
Oh! Very nice :) Glad they made it in then!
This may be the best / most fun video I've seen of yours. As far as I'm concerned, great job!!!
2nd - I also hate you for this video too. Why? Well I swore off kickstarter after andromedas edge has launched. Oh but wait, what is this age contrived game??? Ugh it looks so interesting....nnnooo.....
Also as a final note, the unpublished room sounds great!
I'm loving all these transitions these days! Keep up the fun stuff
I've been on the newsletter for Age of Contrived for months now. Glad to finally see a little more about it.
Glad to share more!
Great stuff! Awesome video and a valiant effort to support the little guys.
Definitely keeping an eye out for The Last Summit
We will showcase it again on Quack&Co for sure when it goes live, hopefully in February.
That is the type of video I love the most.
Promoting new indie games.
That is why I love this channel. 😍
I hope one day I can present my games in a convention like that one. sounds pretty fun
Thanks for this video, absolutely loved it! :) I am super excited about The Great Rat Wars! I also absolutely love that you explored the unpub-room!
Nice! I can't wait to see you there in the communiyt!
I love the UnPub room. I love watching games go through iteration and find their voice.
I cant get over that adorable mushroom art xD I NEED those mushling meeples!!
XD right . . . it is kinda too good
So much energy and great transitions! Thanks for bringing these games to light!
Glad you enjoy it!
Yes, please - more non-KS/small publisher games! Or even a series.
Got to play Rat Wars on Sunday luckily, game was really awesome, love to see a play with West controlling the Rats!
XD he is a brutal creature!
Love to see your passion for supporting promising indie developers! A lot of these are games I hadn't heard of that look very interesting.
Hope you get to check some out!
Fantastic coverage!! LOVE THIS. Thank you, Quack
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great effort guys. Wonderful to see indie publishers getting some air time.
Glad we can share them all!
Find them all! This was fun, can't wait to see some of these come out.
Gotta catch them all!
Very cool. Great to meet you guys at PaxU!
100%
Great Video! Some of those games look really cool and original!
I am glad we could share them all with you!
I can't wait for you to make a gameplay video of inhuman conditions. Past 2 am maybe?
The Wes Jesse combo slaps. That is all.
Much Quack XD
I've played The Last Summit! I appreciate a game that lets me be a naive carebear at the same table as ruthless would-be world dictators. Would recommend to anyone.
Yes, so glad you liked it!
It's one I've been so happy to see become an incredible game.
Oh man, those cuts! 😄👍
The best!
Inhuman Conditions sounds really fun!
Can't wait to reveal west as the robot he is!
Ty for the video!
Quack
Long live rats!!!!! #GreatRatWars
I’m super interested in Fable’s End. Maybe I missed it, but how do I follow their progress? Will they be coming to kickstarter?? Thanks!
We have a link in the description!
Hey Jesse, I am just curious - what happened to Jan? Is West the new Jan - and where/when did he join Quackalope? Thanks.
Hey, Jan took a step back over a year ago to focus on his carer in architecture. The game space and the startup space did not fit his goals. West, is on the team full time now.
@@Quackalope Awesome - glad to have another perspective with West 😀
31:33 That game looks awesome! :-)
Haha, fair :P
Hi guys! F1 board game Pole Position is now in Kickstarter...can you tell us something about this game? Looks awesome!
From what Game is the Raven in the Thumbnail?
An Age Contrived :)
Who was editting this video?
(Excellent job!)
Me. :P
@@Quackalope So you're not only verbally talented!
There's much more than meets the eye then..
Well done.
P.S.

LIFE'S TOO SHORT.
And I haven't got all day 😕
So my review.. to you.. if you'll accept it..
Is -
When you're making a review,
Please be much more focused!
Focus on gameplay, focus of letting us be as certain as possible if a game which we never played - is either for us or not.
LESS POETRY (.. although I'll absolutely read your book if you'll ever write one..), and MORE PURPOSE.
Beside that, you're pretty awesome dude.
Spectrum is very clean looking. I hope they make the board double sided, one as is, one with icons for colour blind.
Wow.. we only found one of those.
Thats why we do what we do :P
How many of these shirts does West own? No one man should have all that power.
He is terrifying . . .
Wait, is inhuman conditions not published? I own that one! Fun if you have a buddy that doesn't mind being a little wacky
it is :) but it is also indi!
@@Quackalope Right! Y'all mentioned the unpublished games hiding in the basement, and I tunnel visioned on that XD
Thanks for the video, unfortunate that none of these games have my interest
No worries! We will keep sharing more :)
Guess it's one for the algorithm, got nothing witty to say 🐦😂
Quack Quack
First quack
Best Quack
Human condition sounds very art not Blade Runner
XD haah
Thank you so much for stopping by at The Big Shuffle, and for your amazingly kind words! 🖤❤️🤍
So glad we could be there!
