I was thinking the exact same thing!🍩

😮

Wow, that is awesome! How fast can it go? (Picturing chairs running people down as they race to catch their plane🤣)

I need to expand my concept of pizza night 🍕🥃🤣

So...does it just go back and forth one really loooong path, or can it be programmed to take you to your gate?

...and now I'm hungry...I mean hungry for boardgames, not donuts...no not donuts...games. Right. 🍩

Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos! I have fun making them! I see so many videos with expert gamer opinions---and they're great, but I feel like someone needs to represent a very average gamer🤣🤣🤣

EP 132 Money, Middle Earth, and Not Losing My Marbles YouTube video by Tea and Games

New video is up! Today I (mostly) chat about LotR: The Fellowship of the Ring The Trick-taking Game, and Gizmos, which we got on an actual table for the first time this past weekend. Thanks for joining me! #boardgames

I love the custom design for the metail coins, with Queen Victoria, and symbols from the game on the flip side! I've seen some nice iron clays, but if there's custom coins I'll go for those!

Metal coins are so satisfying to handle! For me, there's no other type of game component that's as great an upgrade as metal coins🪙💰

Pile of gold and silver colored coins with two different images of Queen Victoria on the front side. Backside had various symbols from the game and coin values (though it seems fairly obvious that larger golden coins would be a higher value than smaller silver colored ones). There's only 2 coin values in the game: 100 & 500. The coins are thick and hefty.

Final layout for me. I went nuts with blue service tiles (2 of the courtship phases scored blue), and I bought and used/flipped 2 purple tiles to the monument side (Hermitage & Lionheart Suite). At the very bottom there's a glimpse of my objective and VP cards. Did pretty well on them too!

Got the metal coin upgrade for Obsession, because I love metal coins in games...& I've got everything else🤣 Had a pretty good game today! #boardgames

Because: spring

I like the artwork! There's even a dog!🐶 🎉

...and we did not lose our marbles playing it!🤣

Botton of pic, in the V of the table corner; the marble dispenser. To the left, my energy ring for storing marbles, my dashboard with the starting card under File (ditto for right side of pic, other player). Center: the card market of Gizmos, levels 1-3 and some victory point tokens.

Setup for first on-the-table play of Gizmos (a friend had taught it to me on BGA). Nifty engine builder with very satisfying action-chaining! Also: marbles!

D. The Big Bad Wolf, but C is also a good answer.

Take care of yourself. Hope you get better soon! 🫂

The use of $ is an especially good substitution since micro$slop is largely about chasing AI money...

Is it good? What did you think?

I think we're in a time anomaly...

....er...*Tang*

Ugh, too many parts have neurotoxins, so not a good backyard plant. I'd worry about the dogs eating something. For a minute there I thought I'd discovered a nifty plant to track down. Probably better to just drink the Koolaid🤣

[Wanders off to google it...]

I have no idea what that is🤷‍♀️ What does it taste like? 🤔

Congratulations! 🎉💍 I really hate that the current official oppression is casting a shadow over your good news. This should be a time of unrestrained joy for you. Seize the joy, lean into the joy! Be you. Just keep being so very *you*🫂❤️

The way it should work is:

Travel--->must have travel games

With me it's more like:

Ooooo...travel games!--->Must travel🤣

Chihuahuas are soft and cozy, so they like things that are soft and cozy!😆

There were a number of things that struck me as "off" about the accusatory post. I've been horrified by the further mischaracterizations subsequent "piling on" by some ppl in the #boardgame community. This is the video we've been waiting for! Well done, Chaz!🎉 Respect.

Oh, they are adorable! Pet those pups for me!😍

Thereby defusing the blackmail option!😆
