Great video, as always. RE: Haromonies Promo, that's associated with Asmodee's "Hobby Next" program, where they send the promos to participating FLGS, who can distribute to customers however they seem fit (as in, either in-store contest or just attaching to the Harmonies box as free promo). Hobby Next is meant to promote more purchases through FLGS, and are not meant to be sold separately. I learned this the hard way, when I snapped up Harmonies from a local FLGS, only to find out another local FLGS had it WITH the promo because the other FLGS had signed up to be part of the Hobby Next program. So, unless I sell my copy to get it again with promo, I am out of luck. Needless to say, I'm a little peeved how this is done, but I'm shrugging it off.
Willie, thanks for the fantastic info on the Harmonies promos and Asmodee's "Hobby Next" program! I really appreciate it, and I'm going to pin this message to keep it at the top of the comments to make it easier for others to find. Cheers! 😀👍 -Chaz
Another great update, Chaz, and loving the work of you and the team! On the subject of Harmonies (which has become a new family favourite) I found the T-Rex card and spirit pawns in the box when I opened it! There was a sticker on the shrink wrap, so I’m guessing that early copies of the game include it (UK)?
I greatly enjoy your wordplay, Chaz! Whether it's your silky smooth segues or your not-as-smooth fumbling for the next line, it's always a hoot. PS. That Neopets nostalgia was no joke.
Thanks so much! Sometimes, not matter how much ya practice and prepare, those tricky words will sneak up and play havoc with your tongue. I'm glad the videos are still appreciated. Thanks for watching and taking the time to share a comment with us! :D -Chaz
@@WatchItPlayed It's been a long time since I worked on Fantastic Creatures, the more popular of my expansions was the animal exchange that introduces trading/push your luck into the game. Might want to check that one out. (WAZA Exchange) It has German Polish and I think maybe Turkish translations?
Out of curiosity, I checked on this. Nightshift didn't start appearing on BGG's Hotness until about a week ago; after the stats for this episode were in. Currently, Nightshift has appeared on BGG's Hotness six times, and is currently at #52 in our overall rankings. If it has enough momentum to stay in the Hotness for the next few weeks, then it may build enough momentum to make it into the top ten. We'll see! -Chaz
I will say that the Arcs footage is woefully out of date. I’m sure you’re just using Leder’s footage, but for anyone reading the game has a very different look than shown.
I noticed that, too. And I'm certain of two things: 1. The next time Arcs is mentioned in a video, it will feature more current content for the game, and 2. with the buzz it's been getting, I'm sure the next time Arcs is mentioned in a video will be soon! 😉 -Chaz

'looks around for Chaz' quickly scribbles a note with 'the Climbers' on it and slips it to Rodney.
Why does Rodney keep looking at me and chuckling every time he reads a mysterious note?! 🤔
-Chaz
I look forward to these videos just to hear Chaz find a clever way to introduce a game 😁
Thank you. I have to admit, sometimes (...most of the time) it takes longer to come up with those introductions than the rest of the episode. 🙄

Really, I think they're almost on par with the links on the One Show 😂

Ah! Good to know! I didn't realize that some early copies of Harmonies may have included the T-Rex card. Thanks for the heads-up! :D

Great video! Hope you get to play Gest of Robinhood.
Really enjoy your word play, and as always great video!
Thanks so much! I appreciate it. :)

Quite surprised "Nightshift" didn't make it in this video. Given it's position on the Hotness on BGG.

Thumbs up for word play.
