Merchant’s Cove Live Play

[Music] oh good afternoon everybody i'm mike d'alessio i'm chris yee i'm camila cleghorn and welcome back it feels like we were just here not even a half hour ago chris feels like yesteryear mike wouldn't you agree i don't recognize you you weren't here who is she that's what everyone has been asking that's been the burning question who is she what's going on in that brain of hers that kill miller brain well anyway welcome we are doing a live play of my number one game of 2021 merchants cove here it is right here we've got our box cover here this is a a game that is an asymmetrical game meaning that um while we're all doing the same thing so let me i'm gonna give a really high level overview really high level overview so i'm gonna time you okay 130 seconds no no pretty high level camilla i i'm not going to be treating this as a how to play i hope that hopefully that if you have not played it you'll at least get an idea of how it plays but the general idea is that we are all merchants as you might expect we we do we reside near this cove if you look at the top there you've got six boats and there are two sets of three they have all been randomly filled with particular customers that are looking to buy goods what we are doing as merchants is we are producing goods to sell to those customers okay we have different colored goods green red yellow blue to correspond with the customers that want them you'll also see some kind of gray or black colored uh customers up there those are rogues dangerous yes yes and so what we are going to be doing is we're all producing goods to sell to them however what makes this game asymmetrical is that we are all unique characters within merchants cove and we've got different ways of making good so i will really quickly introduce my character you guys can then introduce your character so i am the alchemist okay and my name is mike fonestra orwin okay and so what i'm going to be doing is i am going to be brewing potions since i'm an alchemist using a little bit of a kind of a marble almost like a what would you call like a candy crush potion explosion type of a thing a little marble mini game here to create my goods that i'm then going to be selling to these customers camilla i am the dragon rancher and am i the only one that's not base game right yeah so this is one of the expansion characters the dragon rancher uh dwelma drake tooth is my name for the next hour and a half yeah so i am a dragon breeder over here and i will be managing their stalls and scooping poop and helping them eat to get big and i have so you guys have two two different sides of um goods that we're saying you have the small and the medium i have small medium and mega you've got magic i've got a mega dragon worth a lot of mega coming worth a lot of dough but you can only sell them at the black market right where you will get corruption you'll get corrupted i'm coming in corrupted it's okay i'm scared a little shady business got some elbow room thank you mike before we get to you chris uh i did miss one thing in the setup we need to put one of each uh adventurer in the guild hall so one of each correspondent you're way past your 90 seconds well roy was rushing me no no rogue though right no rogue's already been seated based off of this rogue card which we we've chosen the most basic uh rogue card the rogues don't mean anything other than they'll only buy at the uh the black market so are you oh good enough are you pulling a millennial and saying you're basically gonna take a corruption uh yes basically i am basic basically basically all right well now what everyone has been waiting for i am captain green tale of uh wow of uh merchants cove i'm the captain now what i will be doing i hate everything about that i'm going to lay these down just for the purposes of you oh i forgot the overhead sorry all right i'm going to be sailing around my my uh my my cove here i'm going to be sailing around the island i can collect small goods here or around the outside i can get them big goods but you don't know what they are i don't know what they are until i move my ships there and also bad coins can get stacked up here which if i'm understanding correctly mike this is corruption at the end of the game if i don't take actions to clear them out yeah but if i clear them out that's points baby that is points that is correct and there are more little rules that we will all kind of talk about as we go through the game but generally speaking that's what we're going to be doing every time that we take a particular action on our individual player board it's going to cost an amount of time that is tracked on this clock and this is one of those games where whoever is furthest back will be the next one to take a turn so um there may be times in the game where someone can take consecutive turns because they're taking turns that take less time than uh than others all right is it all about time there it is all about time now we have um already randomly determined who's going to be first and it is going to be chris who is going first and so uh that is tracked here on this on this clock and uh again we'll talk about some other things as they go along but uh chris you're going to be taking the first turn and uh what are you planning on doing here a quick question for you mike as the captain uh because i don't know what these chests are when i get a card like this that gives me a large yellow good mm-hmm i think you search through you have to look in your book but i think you search through and and grab one of those okay i think what i'm going to do is a more exciting turn i want to spin that spin-off yes the spinner the most under-utilized game component in modern hobby board games so yes let's spin it uh by the way also someone uh uh horde of the board called me said i thought you were captain crunch no captain horatio crunch sails a different seat he lives around the uh the crunchy cereal milk islands i believe so i'm gonna get two you just that's a cheat chris that's a cheap captain cheat is what you just did right there do you see i already flicked it though yeah i know i'm aware so i get two this is not the space i wanted though that's a shame that's two movement points for my my many many vehicles over here and one uh gold or one coin gets deposited to pirate island so i'm gonna do two movement i'm gonna boop this one over here i can get a red good i'm gonna bop that one over there i could get a green good uh but instead what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna take a corruption to spin it again oh that's outrageous unbelievable you cannot contain me now so there's a little bit of a kind of a multiplier thing going on the number the number of rogues in the lair there at the end of the game are going to determine the negative points basically for each corruption symbol you've got so right so i got myself some couple three movements here when i move into a zone here i reveal what the what the item is and i did clarify it says when activating a townsfolk ability that gives you a specific colored large goods search for it in your stack move it to your sales shelf but if there's not one there you don't gain the good oh appreciate it so i'm going to move over here and reveal this good over here to be one of those yellows in fact i also would like to move this ship over here and reveal this to be large blue i don't like it chris i don't like it now first of all you went there and how many hours did that oh you already did move it forward i did my job yeah i gained the corruption and i put the coins and everything i get one more movement which is going to be to i'm going to go ahead and bop out into the green sector that's my turn wow that was quite a turn chris spin it to win it that's right ready let's begin it bear ingrid when you win it you can minute in a minute when you spend the spin this morning i think it's your turn yep chris is freaking me out here all right so what i'm going to do is i'm going to go right to uh to getting some potions here what's the actual name of this action i feel like i should take ingredients all right that's pretty simple all right and so basically i've got three different rows that i can choose from and as i pull i call a color and i will get all of the marbles of that color to place into my cauldrons here my my brewing cauldron so um i'm gonna go here down to this third one it's gonna cost me two actions so i'll go ahead and do that right now and i'm gonna say red okay so i pull this red marble and i just knocked it over mike mike look believable this is just just uh a slight a slight issue you got you got hugs tooth all over the place now i also continued everywhere i continued to pull these icker tokens as well so red look at that look at all of those ingredients that i now get a place within my cold noodles and then i'll refill so camilla you can go ahead and go while i decide where i'm gonna be placing my uh got it all right i'm going to go here and do the drawing food drawing place food so this is going to take two hours so before i forget i will go ahead and do that and i draw three to begin with not meeples wrong bag yes that is going to be a source of confusion yes it is all right that's okay i got it all right so i draw three to start with confusion that's a genesis song i think it is yes all right i have to place one per thing correct [Music] here here and i keep drawing until i have three of the same color or three different colors yes i think you might draw before you place oh i draw i think you draw whatever you're gonna draw you know what i like that rule better so where i'm gonna i believe that i'm gonna go with it i'll read the fine text i've played the dragon ball so now i have three different colors so that's all that i get to place which is unfortunate because they have to go um orthogonally in one line i can only place one per thing correct yes well yes i assume i'm correct i will go i'll give it to you one oh i don't want to block that off one two three oh i will do that all right and then i am up again yes you are yes i am where are we there all right i'm gonna go ahead and i think i'm going to hatch a tree or hatch a tree i love hatching a tree a tree if you will so loopy saying how can you draw before you place i may need to read the rules me my tree and because i passed this little meeple do i place out here first no you go ahead and do yourself and then i do that all right so to hatch a tree i'd choose any tree if i'm i just hear hatchet that makes more sense chop down a tree whatever i want to hatch it i'm going to hatch it so chop down a tree remove the two and i can do any of them that's what i wanted to know so let's see i could do that or i could get that red out there i think i'm going to get that red out there and i'm going to do this but there is more actions to that i am sorry i'm going to have to oops not folding so you haven't played the dragon rancher before it's all right i haven't yeah so we're learning here together remove the two foods from the tree and place them oh they go in my feeding bag okay so oh i have to play the statistics game each tree contains body bags and white food is special you saw put one in there it can grow any dragon of color remove the stump and it covers a new ranch space to reveal a stump with a new membership action yeah that's going to basically give you money during the money sponsorships looks like i'm next look at that oh no first you have to load a boat oh yeah let's load so you you won't you will take one random customer out and then you get to choose which boat it goes on when a boat gets filled you are going to place it at one of the available docks on whichever side of dragon island up there it corresponds let's see yellow yellow isn't quite and so the color of these characters are going to kind of determine what good you're looking to to produce because obviously yellow customers are looking for yellow goods blue for blue things along those lines all right i think i'm going to go here you just blew it you just lost the game right there that was the game folks sorry i had to end so quickly all right here we go chris you left that juicy juicy yellow good out there but the problem with that card is that at the end of the game it has two corruption symbols on it two count them i don't love that count that's a multiplier number right that's a multiplier that's a multiplier yeah yeah i don't do that i think that was a big that would be a bad choice so i think instead what i'm going to do no i'm going to go right here and call green and get a couple of green ingredients i will place these and then i'm going to also in green d oops and then i will also load the boats because i passed that uh out do you want us holler i'll put it in for you a red huh let's go ahead and put that in the leftmost boat that is already chock full of red all right all right all right well i'm now left with some very interesting decisions here uh and so that space is the is the bigger tile correct yeah so there are three piers within the game that these boats are going to be kind of docking to the one on the very left most will only customers there will only buy large goods in that central pier they will only buy small goods on the rightmost pier that's the black market pier they'll buy either but they're gonna you're gonna take a corruption because it's the black market all right well i'm gonna go here and i'm going to uh i'm gonna fish my big rescue the treasure all right that i just so happened to find here certainly other pirates did not intend to recover this on their own i need to rescue this treasure from obscurity so those are two large goods they rescued those they will get refilled face down because i do not have boats there and i will move two time tokens as well therefore i the her brave captain horatio crunch i've decided captain ratio crunch i love it i just love everything canonically that is captain crunch's name oh everything about what you just did dump them out now or do you want to bring yourself know that it matters i mean you can if you want to okay whichever boat so two of the three boats on either side are going to dock the one that does not dock all the customers within them are going to go to the guild halls all right so ah i still yes the cream has risen to the top now and i'm up next so i'm going to spend two more time hours and i'm going to go here i'm going to spin that spinner keep forgetting to refill my oh whoa whoa there we go clean spin folks above the belt here we go three movement points i love it two corrupt coins over here onto pirate island and with my three poop they're all gonna go red salmon fishing that's a that's a punk move right there you know it yeah see he wants a bunch of small red goods camilla it's weird i know yes i'm did you uh load the boat did you pass this on this one or no did i do it again yeah you're right load the boat you'll see these two little markers here these are these are uh mice when we get to the next round there are three rounds in the game when we get to the next round we're going to pull one of these off it's a way to kind of lengthen the round if you want to take some corruption uh there's that whole thing about mice being in in um clocks right isn't there like a song about oh the mouse goes up the clock yeah yeah i think i talked i'm assuming that's not a nursery rhyme okay wow i mean are both of you kidding or do you not really know who the winners are no i really really really really really really really don't figure it out there you go okay got it now yeah yeah and that's it all right so it looks like it's back to me ran up the clock okay do i want to take more goods or i want to start brewing something i feel like i want to take more but i'm going to have to brew at some point here but i i don't think the time is yet just i don't know oh man red snapper thank you yes that's the fish that i um salmon that's right red sandwich it doesn't sound right i was like all all right gosh i really um i'm a little bit bummed at my ingredient i don't love my ingredient makeup here gentlemen and ladies i'm going to go everything is two hours what happens with poop how do i get how do i poop what happens with poop i'm really stressing over this i can't i can't stress over this i'm gonna go ahead and take go here move to take yellow just seems like a waste that's going to go there got it i'm on it all right and then i've got to load a boat oh red herring that's also great look at the chat y'all got my back can you hand me the uh the boat loader i can i will ah man it's been nothing but red yeah so i think what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna put the red in the furthest most boat the one that's this will fill that boat and put it to the black market the black market all right all right you can unload that if you want to because that's the only birth that's going there they can that's right and they lay down yeah just so that people can see them yeah yep yep we do this for you the people we do for the people the people about people okay um actually drives me nuts having them laying down all right we already do that all right okay so i am up i think i will it is already five o'clock folks all right i am going to in-game got it yes i'm going to hatch it was that really confusing for you oh it was confusing like five o'clock there's no way you're like no way i'd be home sleeping by now so i'm gonna hatch a dragon oh here we go a dragon it's happening this is how you human being it's actually called eat and grow eat and grow no i disagree you're going to retheme this i got my hatchet tree and all right so i'm going to hatch i just select one any color right so i'm going to do well you i think you you do the the tokens first right like you're not those are your goods that you create those aren't dragons where's my dragons then yeah the dragons are the goods the dragons are the goods but i sell drugs oh i see what you're doing you you put it there to take the thing i got it forget it you are correct she's hatching trees i see what she's doing i just i i understand what she's doing now got the dragons grow out of the meat select a space that contains at least one food remove the food return it to my feeding bag and place a dragon in that space that's what you were doing that's what i was confused with guys all right um if there's one so that's one move and grow trace a path okay so it says starting from a ranch space with a dragon trace a path around your ranch moving at the dragon as you go do i have to no you could keep it a small red good if you want two ones you could hatch another small red one on your next well not in your next turn because you have to make it because yeah that's why i went ahead never mind yeah if you're trying to get my strategy out of me you'd go almost got me uh-huh i'm smarter than that all right though because it's your turn again although did you do a i did not yet no is that everything i do so then they move oh wait no no no you can feel like you're going to designate it you can definitely just let him eat and then i put him right there you go he's in your penis [Music] even if we get all the boats in we don't end until everyone passes right we'll move the market marker to the next open spot and once everyone is on it or pass that's right okay so it can happen anytime all right finally a yellow oh let's see i'm not going to do that i want possibly me me there oh gosh he's seasick he's yeah all right sleeping on the job all right and now it's my turn again oh it's your turn again make no mistake unbelievable three and three again so i'll go two oh i'm pushing it so unbelievable i'm not running for it and camilla's last uh what in camilla's q a she mentioned how much she hates the singing during during gameplay mike and i are the worst perpetrators the worst thing you could have told me this is interesting i'm seeing a couple of people talking about take that i don't think of any take that in this game other than a little bit of manipulation like hold on yeah no because yeah you didn't mess me up there it's just that i would have preferred it to be a large good i could still make a small good yeah i don't think of this as a high take game there's an interaction in some ways with the market manipulation but this is a catastrophe as that's just me though i can still maybe vco would say it's a complete catastrophe unmitigated catastrophe all right and so i just pick anywhere randomly right and then i start and i'm getting you can have up to two right i'm only gonna get three out there but i don't yeah so i'm just gonna do that and then put the yellow one back for feed and grow can camilla grow as many dragons as she yeah it's been like i said it's been a little while since i played dragon rancher but that would have been great but green see anyone have any big okay yeah you'll have to watch and see if you think it's take daddy maybe it might feel that way to you it hasn't to me i'm not a huge take that fan i'm not either i'm okay if you'll get in my way and a little bit of like aha work replacement hold me back but take that catch me outside um it's an open invitation how about that hello dear let's see what do i want to do do i want to push end games like right now i'm not looking to take that it's more like how close how much do i want to get done i'm trying to balance that more right so again there's intake into yeah you still have at least a couple of turns even if you were to dock another i mean we only have two boats docked but i'm not we could have a third boat docked on this turn most likely not going to suck out no green that turn so i am cutting myself out of you could go for a big green one because it says take the following steps as many times as you want for eat and grow i thought you could do multiple oh snap chad's got my back yeah so can i go back do you guys are you yeah you can remember the table this one here wasn't here so i would have done that which would have put that in there but then then you put the poop out yeah oh you put the poop out you put the poop out oh the poop's coming out do i need to read you the book everybody poops the encyclopedic uh repository of knowledge i use the word repository okay okay okay i'm done i'm i'm just looking at me making decisions okay so you've loaded the boat already you're gonna go to the boat to me all right i'm gonna do one more taking uh ingredients because i really need to get myself set up here to brew brewing is a process where you can do a bulk thing and so i like to have i want to be as a fish as possible so i'm going to call yellow here i'm going to take this i call foul i'm going to take this i'm going to take this i'm going to take this that gum yeah look at that look at that it's unbelievable oh some sketchy things happening in your cauldrons over there oh you better believe that all right uh now i load the boat if you can hand me that oh i can i will boat bag boat bag bag o customers oh it's a greeny oh i think for green what we're going to do is we're going to put this in that left most well the the one closest to the aunt no no no yeah yeah yeah yeah and where is he going he has no choice he has to go to that level oh that's right he's left of the yeah that's one of my dragons yes oh oh crap oh look it just pooped all right there we go oh you needed all those out there boy you didn't have to like throw them get out the boat if you're you're you're free at the doctor this is hitting my ocd really bad all right so now we know that that boat is not going to dock so those two green dots go into the guild hall making green icons that you have how do they worry do they like have to swim in yeah yeah they jet ski in the captain just jettisons them they ride the dragon all right that's what i breed on christoph it's me is you uh does this happen only at the end of the game these coins that doesn't happen at scoring or anything does it alright i'll double check that double check yeah all right because i know what i want to do right now is i'd like to spend oh wow the captain is expensive time wise let me go ahead and spend two hours two hours two hours uh i'm gonna go ahead and fish so one two three boats are all gonna go fishing and i got myself some couple three three small red fishies i think these are lobsters lobsters shellfish lobster tails yeah i'm for that all right so i spent the two maybe oh yeah shrimp or gray though pardon me i crossed that threshold and put out a blue customer now the distribution in case you're wondering the distribution of customers is not equal there are fewer yellow and blue and their goods are worth more as a result so more red and green in the bag than there are blue and yellows well this one is the one that has red in it so it's going to come a sailing in all right so i think i might have now is going to basically kind of trigger some things so we place those into their associated guild halls we move the market spot right there okay and now once everyone has either gotten on to that or past that spot that ends the production phase of this round all right i'm gonna go backwards and take this off because i just realized i can't go over a stump line massive asterisk so oh cause i fixed it all right all right so chris it is you again yeah it is still me yeah all right what do i want to do a fine question chris you've got a lot of goods over there to sell already much poop i do too much poop a memory by camilla i keep forgetting to fill my decanter here decant you hear the fancy uh vocabulary out of this one it's a decanter make no mistake it's a decanter decanter i barely know her oh i tell ya no there's no way to like wipe the wipe out the market no but we're going to we are going to discard one of them at the end of the round all right yeah that is i think i'm going to spread it for you because you have corruption but i'm going to spend two time hours me thinks to go ahead and grab this one here do we move down um no because those are or do we refill we refill it i believe it slides in and refills okay yeah yeah it's been a little i believe yours has been what the kids of today call and that makes sense because that's most expensive so yeah it does slide right yeah cause it goes from most expensive to bang bang so i get to trash this corruption i'm just gonna throw it on yeah yeah and now because i slid a card from the the row over here everything was there an immediate ability for that yeah it trashed the corrections got it okay but now it's underneath this so whenever i do this action here in the future i activate all of these bottoms so long as they have a card tucked into it yep right all right and it's to me hey look i'm gonna brew it's gonna cost me two hours all right so now two hours are one oh it's one hour i'm not trying to help you you are helping me because that means i'll be going more before you only got one turn left all right so basically there's little formulas here and um math i'm out the the the black icore is a wild so it can count as anything so looking at this here i really kind of want to keep this a small good so i'm going to spend these two get a small red you sure are this is three different types those go there and ban someone from the chat i'm going to go ahead and move this right here oh yeah yeah we've got some some unfortunate stuff happening there um i'm going to do a small green good here mike the chat is cheering you on you brew it yes and then i'll do a small yellow here thank you for that i was like small yellow all right well played that is my bruin all right action all right so if i go on to one that is do we stop once we all pass this time yeah so you have one more turn okay or passed got it all right on it counts as all right i think i am just going to i appreciate the uh uhf quotes spatula city all right i'm going to go chop down a tree for two hours chop down a tree and i will chop down my green tree put these in there cause the lorax taught you nothing camilla i don't know what that means is that it's the only person here that knows what one who knows what the lorax is and the childhood oh that's that dr seuss book yeah i don't know it's a book oh it's not a movie it's a book it is also it was a book first all right so chop down the tree i think that's all i do right i used my hatchet it uncovered that done white food goes in i'm good to go so you got that symbol uncovered for cutting down the trees which is only for end game scoring no no we the end of the production phase all right um that's good that's good move all timepieces that advanced beyond the marketphase indicator to the top of it preserving their order so basically we do this all right all right now we're going to sell in turn order at each pier all right so the leftmost pier will buy uh small goods only and no large large goods only yeah so i am not selling at that pier neither the road could count as any color the road can count as any color yep if you take a corruption if you use it is that right okay okay yeah definitely because i'm going to sell a yellow good that's worth eight there's a yellow fella and a rogue so that's gonna be 16 points for me right i believe that is correct sir math son 16 for yeller you got it oh yeller oh i just sung mm-hmm you said y'all earlier too though so i'm also getting in your head tit for tap when i sell these do they go anywhere in particular i think they go back into your supply don't they yeah oh because of your guys yeah yeah yeah do i wonder if i shuffle can you sell you know we may not be playing with the rogues as being able to buy they may just be clogging up the ships oh because yeah we have to have the right card for that i think we're playing where the rogues just clog up the ships oh really oh i didn't realize that was a card thing when i played yeah yeah it's a card thing guess i always use that card it's a cod bang double check cod thing it's a cod thing so you take your points back yeah back down to eight did you still want to do that let's see i i can keep these goods rendered yeah you can keep them around i'm not limited to six mm-hmm you are not i mean it makes sense thematically because your boat's only a certain yeah yeah yeah no he's not all right i'm gonna keep my good double checking throw away checking double checking yeah i believe it's the the roads all depend they all work based on how the cards are yeah it it depends on which row yeah so if you played with cultists you can draw a corruption card for each rogue at any given period to treat it as a customer of each cultist like yeah like colts yeah yeah so we're just playing the most basic game where they just kind of clog up they just kind of clog up the bones okay uh so i'm not selling sorry so we go over to the small goods okay doc then yep yep yep all right who's up nose goes um that is no are we at the middle pier yes yes okay so this is a small one so i'm gonna sell my red and my yellow there all right so i've got four people that want to buy my good there so that's 12 plus four math 16 yeah wait times three yeah yeah correct three yeah twelve yeah twelve and four or sixteen sixteen for purple purple's on the board yeah remember when i had sixteen points until the chat corrected me until you cheated like corruptions getting to you um you up for me you go because you're not more than me and i don't want to feel bad to see you pass me i don't know if there's a particular order but yeah i'm going to sell three regulars but it doesn't i mean so it's nine times four baby that's 36. no i refuse i'll do it myself then camilla can you help me nope absolutely not absolutely i can elbow you all right i've got two red goods uh three each so they're each worth 12 right so that's 24. yep all right 24. i see ya okay all right okay so we've uh we've also i'm just checking here it says i believe the token that was further ahead on the clock track goes on top of the stack this was a point of confusion that was addressed in an in an errata on bgp oh i played it backwards things i've always done the way we just did it i don't know we have to look at the arrows i thought it was whoever spent the fewest time past the market got to be first first i thought so yeah yeah and i think technically you sell in this order in case it matters right yeah okay because of like the rogues or like like why would it matter uh yeah in the case of uh especially here we never did refill this are people gonna take corruption oh is it in the moment yeah no i'd say you do it then okay so now we're in the we're now we're in the last one yeah we're in the the black market okay i will go ahead and sell this for six and i'll take a corruption i will definitely give you six here's six take it mike i love that card i hate everything about it all right 22 all right check the around well i don't have the errata in front of me yeah that'd be cool enough coming out so i'd rather not okay does it do we think it's going to matter that much i'm just not trying to particularly if anyone corrects i mean yeah just because of right here when you put out i mean so does it matter yes not much there may be an issue we're just going to play it as we have it right now just for the sake of fun this is all just about having fun right now yeah and if people haven't seen this this is a good way of kind of figuring out the game yep all right so are you selling no i don't i'm sorry i'm not yeah i'm not selling the bucket okay so we're done we're done with that we're done okay so next what we're going to be doing is we're going to be doing the uh sponsorship phase i think it's called yep you gain gold for all their active market spa sponsorship icons for each one they advance their gold equal to the number of adventures so i've got one green times four so i'd get four points you are four gold purple yep anyone else have their green sponsorship no because i need ships in these zones my green shirt you also are going to get four okay excellent blue oh and one for red okay so five total one two three four and one total you said no nothing for me no nothing that's right one more for yourself four from green and one one for one because you've got a red showing yeah you hatcheted the uh the red tree knew that that not me yes me cheeks all right all right to prepare for the next round return all adventures from peers to the adventure bag not from the faction halls do the rogues go down oh they go in there they do they go in here yeah as far as i can tell okay i'm gonna hold two rogues just yeah it just says return all adventures from peers to the to the adventure rugs are adventurers got it discard the right most count folk card refill is that annoying oh it's annoying we're gonna we're going to do this we're going to do this now we've got a way to kind of extend the round if we want to take a corruption to do it and then we're going to do the arrival phase two customers in each boat all right go so aren't there four customers for small goods y3h because that's the actual value of the of that of this small red good it's three coins per is that asymmetrical as well are we all three no those are all the same yeah so red and green are easier to get so right they're closer to my port uh maybe there's more marbles maybe there's an easier distribution but they're all worth three blue and yellow with four for the smaller i did see in the chat earlier someone said me like having to go back and play those you know take those things back that's why they're leery of asymmetrical games because someone could cheat you know they could just say like don't play with it this is a pretty that's like yeah you know this is a pretty light game too i mean if you found that later i would never like take the you know take your win back though yeah just don't don't don't be you turn on your playlist yeah i think this is a game that has just the right amount of asymmetry it's you know it that's why i like it so much so uh if players have moved okay here we go all right if players have moved their timepiece beyond the market phase token when the marketphase begins place any timepieces that move beyond the marketplace token to the top of of any timepieces that might already be there do not rearrange the timepieces simply move one stack on top of the other this means the player who take an extra hour will be forced to sell first they'll be forced to sell first but does it matter who and they will act first and with less information during the last r next round so it is technically uh i was on the bottom camilla here oh interesting okay i don't hate that that's fine so now we know all right well thank you first first i'm first first first first first together first okay let me process i've got poop problems here um they make some medicines for that do they how would you know well that's good to know because i don't think i've actually played it that way i don't know that it makes a huge difference i think that there could be some cases where it might uh it might play into things it's mostly about the information i'm gonna go in and retroactively remove everybody's a win i love everything that i've ever played everything about that got it so how many hours did you move one one hour thank you for that you got it because i i shovel poop fast christopher all right hello my mic not all of us can shovel poop as efficiently as kill miller no it's one of my my many skills i want that on the record here we go also hatching trees gonna spin it the other way here we go oh three movement actions and two kerns did you read up about your coins and figure out all that you had to do for that uh something about that okay yeah i'm gonna go one two three movements oh let's see you only had two movement didn't you that's a three right oh that's a three are you sure if the three it looks more like a one to me oh interesting it looks like a negative four mike i believe it's you you haven't moved it's not me yet oh i'm sorry you're right two hours oh hey look it's me all right i'm going to actually recruit a townsfolk i'm going to recruit the third from the left oh that's a shame camilla is that one you wanted oh and they refill immediately they do yeah they slide down and move and i'm going to place this over my take two brew actions and i also get to remove this piece of trash corruption card now that one was nice because this has two of the green sponsorship and i already know that we've got at least four there at the end of the game so that's what these sponsorship ones the end of the game yeah yeah the shield and your player sponsorship yes all right our every round going to place three food chat we're glad you got her back yeah you are the best showing us that mike has not a single again played his favorite game of last year correctly all right so i am going to go one hour and take a corruption oh oh because that's what your action thing there that's my action yeah because it's like rather than taking two hours i'm just doing one hour i'm like i don't know getting my food from the black market so it's just three it's not three equal or different colors gotcha all right that is unfortunate do i do do i do little little what you do that's a stevie wonder yeah is that what you were going for i think it's called i'm not sure if it's called do i do or i can place up to two on one spot right yeah up to two i believe that's correct yes and they don't have to be the same color it's just the color yes so you can like it's like sneaking broccoli into the you know that's exactly what it is it's like putting broccoli into your mac and cheese this is the last time i let you cook for me you don't put broccoli in your mac and cheese no you said cupcakes i did say you could say cupcakes because you can put broccoli and mac and cheese you put broccoli in my cupcakes i'm not coming back over garbage also your turn again unless we didn't move you i moved me oh okay so we did not i did yes okay all right then i'm gonna go ahead and hatch not hatchet a dragon yes you can't hatch it a dragon come on all right so i'm gonna hatch a dragon which is gonna be two hours all right please and let's see what we look like out here all right i'm going to bring out glue cap i'm new to board games but this doesn't seem anything like what i saw before it looks really nice yeah it's uh it definitely dude if you're not familiar even if you are familiar it's it's pretty it's got some unique out a red here it's one of the sharpest looking games oh it's gorgeous yeah i can when i decide to sell i can decide to sell any number right when i move and grow i believe you're limited by no i move a dragon right so i can only decide to sell i know i can okay but can is that another one you can do multiple times move a dragon where it may be sold place one poop into the dragon's apostrophe s so i can only designate one per time i'd have to look at the book too yeah see that's what i'm not sure about right otherwise otherwise you'd be really slowed down but i got didn't i bring both out last time or that was that two separate actions i don't know again okay all right yeah i'm just gonna go ahead and play it this way and we're gonna because i don't wanna hold everything up i'm gonna go ahead and move him so he he grows he's grown he's a grown boy and do i want to sell him do i want to show my hand this early what kind of cupcake is this chocolatey and then you will load the boat oh yeah if you ever give me a broccoli cupcake i will never forgive you i will make fun of you know it's a broccoli cupcake maybe challenge accepted i'm going to give you one cupcake a week oh no i'm so excited best game ever green nobody wants green oh green's okay nobody can go ahead and start if you want whoever's next unless this changes what you would do no it does not i'm going to spend one hour and clean up my nasty cauldron here and that will also have me load the boats thank y'all all right now i've gotta make sure i'm right here don't tip the boat all right so we got a yellow let's go ahead oh i forgot to put a poop out can't forget to put the poop can't tell you how many times i say that in my life um i went there to there so poop there all right go ahead and fill that boat and move it to the center pier please it's a centerpiece of a boat docking if i've ever seen one the bane i am of existence not just my existence all of existence okay are you done mike i'm done that's all i had to do did you load a boat oh you used it i loaded a boat can you hop over there yeah i can't uh bend that we are getting too many bots man we get a lot of bots yeah roy was watching he's got some stuff to take care of so we're just letting overhead run cool it's me you're all pal chris and what i would like to do i would like grabbing a card maybe more spam today than hawaii yeah oh boy yeah now those cards really work out that well you drink that one baby i'm gonna go and grab some cards well you picked the wrong one because you're activating on that one i'm gonna grab some cards [Music] this one does have a corruption but it's okay it's okay it's gonna give me a yellow small good it's gonna load up right into there okay okay and then i spend the two hours so uno and don't refill you may reef when you load the boats load the boat load the boat this one i feel good about it's a rogue oh what you gonna do [Music] yeah see the other thing about rogues with this is that if they end up going down here to the if they end up not going to appear they fill up that and make corruption that corrupt count oh it's a gamble are you done chris i'm done whoa i am gonna gonna gonna get some ingredients because i am woefully bereft of ingredients so let's go here and call red we got red we got red all right and that cost me two hours one now at this point i could just go ahead and load the boats or i can take a corruption to extend it but i'm not going to i'm going to load the boat i'm not feeling it i am not feeling that really it's it's i don't want the corruption is really the bottom line here oh we're going to do okay real adventurers take corruption is that right okay let's put this blue does this up here mean anything that's just a there's two there's different types and you mix two different together that's like the merchant staff okay all right that's set up oh i will go ahead and put this in the leftmost boat please all the way up here you got it okay and then i'll refill my decanter and it is not my turn nope it's time for your old power chris everything's coming up chris all right i'm sorry captain christopher crunch crunchy crunchy captain how far you can uh i don't think i shall oh i'm jumping up to hours and my action is going to be to uh activate this here oh in either order you like and either like so first did you poop on my head ouch whoa sounds like a must read i'm gonna go ahead i'm gonna get two movement actions oh i i forgot about this party i i don't have any more corruption coins to throw onto here so i will have to take a cursed coin so i will take a corruption okay how's that make you feel great all right so these are small correct i feel terrible mike but i am going to go fishing oh i don't like that one fishing action oh you know what here sorry really quick i didn't realize it's only a single fishing action it does not make sense to grab that corruption okay because instead of doing the movement first here we go one fishing action is to remove four uh cursed coins okay earning me four points please for yellow yellow this one returns the dog and now i'm going to use this two movement action and then and deposit one of my questions that makes more sense this is not multiple fish hooks otherwise yeah sure sure all right and then did you uh you didn't move right so now you're loading the boat load the boat it's blue wow careful because of those uh score markers there chris i see oh that's ridiculous good call this is outrageous right oh i can't touch a dragon hold on okay all right thinking thinking thinking [Music] is there any rhyme or reason to how mike adds the ingredients to his cauldrons okay um do you mind if i explain really quickly i was going to ask you to go so down here at the bottom you might be able to kind of make out just to the left of your screen any two of the same ingredients will get me a small good of that color so and blacks are wild so if i were to take a brew action i could right here do any small good actually because oh no a red good a red good yes this is also i could do a red good here if you have two of any one color and one of any third color that's a large good of the two that match any three colors let you get one of these icors which is a permanent wild so basically it's a it's a little way to you know two of the same matching gets you a small good two matching and one other gets you a large good of the matching three of any gets you a while that is there for the rest of the game all right awesome i'm going to hatch my hatchet my tree all right and i'm going to forget which one i decided to do because you did a really good job explaining that and i wanted oh this got pumped uh oh chris unacceptable and i don't think you're gonna be able to use those apps all right so that is all i'm doing is hatcheting my tree okay and how many hours is that is two hours now are you going to take the corruption i'm going to take the corruption yes one two so that means you're going to end up taking two turns in a row just for the price of one corruption and you extended the round because you're not loading a boat now and then i am going to recruit a person now question if i recruit a person that cost that that do i do this action first or this action first let me just no you you you pay for it so you'll get a corruption and then you can get rid of all of them got it okay because you've got two right now so basically if you take that card you get rid of all the corruption yeah correct and i go up yellow but that's not what i was going to do because i chopped down the wrong tree because i forgot and i felt the pressure and i know so much shame uh one two that would put me at eight and then a blast again sure okay so you're going you're taking a two yeah yeah please and then i will fill a boat yeah let's refill those you immediately do whatever it does did he just discard yeah i've got a little thing over there right and then i'll decide where to slot that in in a second out stan ding i love everything oh i like him he's like that grumpy neighbor that you went over by making all of that micho art i love it i love it he just needs some broccoli muffins no cupcakes you don't win friends with salad you don't mean friendly salad all right where's the red guy going doing that increasing the red that wouldn't be bad that'd take my blue up too and take the green up it seems like there's something wrong i'm going to so i don't need red small none of us i'm going to put it here no no no no no no no here sorry for some reason i was thinking i could decide to dock down there but that is a foolish foolish rule okay that's what i was trying to do and david said he's he's the chris yee of his game group omar hello hi chris sorry david's wow group all right i believe i oh i gotta i gotta put this in what is it what do these mean oh man i wouldn't mind that oh oh i like that i would not mind that all right i think what i'm going to do is i'm going to go here i'm going to recruit that second nope left i'll put a large red good i'm going to put this i think my the sound effects are my favorite i'll put this boom i'm going to figure out where to put that in a second but um and so now i'm going to load a boat right because i moved was that double one out there did i just like a fool not see that one oh because i wanted the minus all right so if you can hand me a one loss both back lost bag they both greeny huh all right let's go ahead and put this large oh that doesn't work great for me does not work great for me let's put this in the well you can hand it to me right yeah meaning it's coming here no it's not just kidding it's just thinking about it just inching we'll just put it right here all right all right you load a boat it's my time to shine everything i do takes two hours hmm i look i i didn't want to say you're taking too long i'm a hard worker i take my time let me see what they'll do i need to clarify this is remove a cursed coin take one ingredient this one right here that one is oh yeah cause that would be place and that would be all right well okay let me think ahead here since i have ample time all right i'm gonna grab dang it i'm gonna um what if i ah all right i'm gonna go ahead and i don't have that many goods this time more than i've got i don't have enough otherwise i can't call it a landslide that's true that is true all right i would really like what is that a murder she wrote reference in the chat by jason wow the better code merchant's cover cabot cove have it cove interesting yeah yeah what i'm going to do i'm going to spend one action one hour to do one movement point okay of movement which i'm going to do one movement point of movement uh that that the department of redundancy department that is per the rules michael and you'll load a boat i will load a boat hello it's green it's so green green green isn't that what we all really want green that's a magic number yes it is that's a magic green all right let's i really want a mecca that's a girl there mega mega drink i like mecca dragon oh yeah i had to do yeah multiple times you're correct yeah okay yeah mecha dragon oh that's a that's a godzilla thing isn't it it is three six nine 12 16 18 21 24 27 so what i really need to do i really need to get some those are some green goods because that's that's too good to pass up that is too good but i don't have my little dragon out yet all right so let's go a spinning you're loading votes again you know it here we go oh there you go you go with the upward flick this time upward flick that was good for him chris i'm not going to lie that was good for him and two corrupt coins go there i did my movement i got the coins uh put the curse coins up there and i got a load of boat loading the boats no guys it's cool it's cool it's cool yes all right all right i'm not pushing the end of this round okay okay not quite acceptable oakley smokely i'm going to gain a or get some some ingredients i'm going to call green what a surprise green whoa green whoa a core all right that's two for purple so let's move up one two i'm gonna load the boat in a moment after i put these where i want well actually i can load the boat and so we can keep things moving excellent but either way this is going to trigger oh it does correct it's going to trigger but yeah i want to see what you do because that might i don't think but if it triggers it's going to go this thing goes to 11 right not where you are yeah so i would get okay all right all right so let's go ahead and put this in the rightmost boat oh you're gonna i'm gonna make corruption more pricey and then i'm going to put these some worms and then we move this here now green is really really worth a lot i'm missing out right that is here so do i get more out there or do i go for din here do i go or do i have a little way where are you this this changed it okay i think i need to go with quantity right now so i'm going to go i'm going to hatch a dragon i will hatch a gosh those little green ones i need a little green one okay now but i'm only going to get a big 16 18 21 27 and there thirty and get two but that's gonna be two those are gonna be the same oh everybody no they're not the same oh yeah blue and yellow are about the same so okay okay okay okay okay all right so i'm hatching that dragon it sounds like joe pesci in lethal weapon three i know that much okay okay okay okay okay all right i'm gonna go here and then my dragon poops oh it poops oh he pooped make no mistake um if no poop i had poop so i don't need to take corruption to not poop i'm gonna need you to play that character every time we play this game well how does that work if you're corrupted you don't have to poop ben i appreciate your time constipated it's corruption slash constipated that's how it is oh because you're so yeah all right i don't understand that thing that's that was two hours one two so i am now you don't lower the boat because there's no none left doing nothing but i go again or you do you do go again i'm gonna be on the bottom again all right so i'm gonna do that and then i'm gonna go to what are you saying about ben i appreciate his top five list of of mike delicious quotes oh is that what he's doing yes however number one is massive massive asterisk sorry it's not major asterisk but massive asterisk all right so i'm going to activate my people here which is one so person some might say um and then i will go the english teacher types you might say that and then put that back in but i am going to choose to not feed him because i want the you want to get him oh that is a big one no no oh oh he's eating and i'm actually going to yeah whatever i won't go backwards because that's not no those people are not funny he's bigger though now right because he is he is thank you delecio mm-hmm and he poops oh he puts they're not the same you don't know my character don't pretend like you know how to hatch dragons so that how that was how many hours that was two so we'll move you forward not gonna tell you how to do your job i'm sorry yeah that was two but it was definitely two okay um i'm gonna brew which is one oh really um so here i can do a i definitely want those are small good so i want a green small green you would and then i want another small green here and then i want a small red here i brewed i brewed it hey what's end game third round end of the third round so this we're gonna be like two-thirds of the way through here thank you for that math two-thirds we've done two rounds out of three some might you could say four-sixths of the game as well one one could say that however no one does a customer did yell at me one time when i was working at a retail store because i did not know like infant sizes at the time they're like do you have a two three uh princess jasmine shoe size i was like four six ma'am went off on me wow yeah working at the disney store the kids are fantastic parents the parents oh my god be better please anyway i'm fishing for three greens fiji fiji fishy i hate everything about it like a three days grace song you all right guys that was two hours have the goods so now that we know i got the goods i go underneath the power is that how this works yeah so per the rules errata we burp that way okay all right so now we have done the production now we're doing market left to right in turn order uh market okay so we choose whether we want to sell yeah so i'm gonna sell a blue large good that's gonna be 16 points for me please the yellow one the one that's already in the lead sorry camilla you're gonna have to match okay jason asks is this the kickstarter version this is the only version of the game there is it was kickstarter it was kickstarted but this is if you buy at retail it will be this but the kickstarter came with like a couple extra rogues and stuff like that right essentially what you see here is what you'll get other than these were painted by one miss mrs wendy yee yes as far as we know but essentially what you see is what you'll get uh anyone else want to sell large goods i will sell a large blue as well for a 16. i don't know what color i am blue blue i am not selling any large goods here and here and one all right now we're at the middle ones and it's chris again i think gosh he's going to destroy you can't sell the big goods there no i can't but i'm debating if i want to six you're trying to go backwards i am i realize that yellow might not go there you may get stuck with that big yellow good but not really she said he can have as much as he wants right yeah that's going to be rough for me nobody would ever do that all right so especially not since you're sitting on three times right you know he's already crushing us yeah so that's yikes that's nine times four in green so that's 36. and then oh my gosh let's see so we are on 56 so that's 10 20 30 5 6. and then i'll do eight more i'm pretty sure it's on that 100 recoverable at well get these gems ready get it ready don't give it to him he don't get it yet he's not getting it yet no sir matter of fact i'm keeping all these gems for me i like it these are mine now i'm the kid um where are we at we're in the middle yep we're in the middle and it's your cell why do i have a big red one what was i thinking oh i know what i was thinking but then you guys didn't do it right um you got to eat your tic tacs with the pinky out got to do it oh we're on small that's what we're doing sorry that's just four four times two is eight that's eight what color every time i'm gonna ask what color am i it's funny because yeah this is not intuitive as to what player yeah that's all right i'm selling um two greens and a red so we've got six well yeah basically six times four right 24. 24 for the greens oh geez okay so that is and then another six oh geez here we go that's okay that's right okay and that's it okay and then now we're at the black market do i want to do my black market chris gets the choice first he can't he has no yellows there i shall not sell are you selling yours too virtuous i choose not there are two there are two it's a corruption one corruption no matter how many you sell okay not per these guys okay um gosh darn it yeah i think i will spammers jeez um all right i think i will so that's going to be 6 times 2 which will be 12. yes there's two sorry i don't know why that was okay one two and go ahead and move me forward twelve two i'll let you take the corruption first though one two three you will allow me to yeah cause you got the worst one right there you blew it okay um so that is that now we do the sponsorship phase um i still am only showing green but there are now six there so i'm gonna get six points six gold for purple six and five okay chris doesn't have any market ship nada i find market phase hard with the with the with the captain the captain it's really hard you have to have a boat there at that point yeah oh interesting well i mean i think but he gets so many goods he does seems like it's pretty well balanced it is it's just yeah that's where i feel like it all right so you've got what you're showing green and red oh is that right green red wow so that's and it's one per each so basically just add up green red right ten i believe ten i'm just gonna trust you i hate everything i hate everything about that i really thought i was gonna be in first or second place what if i make them like that's pretty nice okay um so now we clear out that right most card how about a b move those down refill [Music] all of those customers are going to go back into the bag we're going to remove the second mice mouse mouse now they're mice these stay in the same order they were and we are in the last catastrophe round of the game first we're gonna do the arrival phase remind me uh i feel like one time i played we put the mice over here to zoot these forwards maybe right chris you may be crazy you maybe just might be amazing crazy thank you chris yeah you're absolutely right sort of a short round it's a little shorter yeah we actually we gave ourselves maybe one extra action maybe massive massive asterisk thank you chris where would you rather run into merchants a dale a cove or a dark road that's a fantastic question jason dale of merchants merchants of the lost road or the dark road in merchant's cove i you know what's funny is is in reality i don't know a dale sounds pretty nice if i were to take this literally but game wise i probably enjoyed this one it's this one yeah this one is this one i like i like dale of merchants too but i i've played it a lot or i should say as well because there is a dale emergence two and three um but uh 12 12 for the rancher three plus three plus six and drake is one of the designers bam bam bam two more thank you drake yeah drake is one of the designers of the game we should try we should trust that's what i get for trusting your math yeah i think drake did the uh was part of the solo mode maybe with johnny pack and they did a fantastic job on the solo mode if you are a solo player i love this as a solo game you play against the peddler what a plug yeah pretty easy oh it's great it's a card it's a card driven system they have their own board oh neat that's really good cool really good all right chris it is up to you in our final third and final round of course none of the big ships over there are pre-loaded with yellow that's a shame chris i feel really bad about it so bad it's weird because your words say one thing but your tonality says something different it'd be interesting if if you had that large yellow good from the first round of the game and then at the end of the game never actually sold it you say interesting you're saying that fascinating but that's a possibility let's see it all right i'm gonna simply move one power and i would like to move one ship one movement point yes that is if i were to speak literally from the rules yes literally literally interesting options here less interesting options mike which one is our favorite character well look i don't want to um plug myself in this channel too much but let me go ahead and plug this channel in myself a little bit i actually did a um an overview of every one of the merchants cove character characters that you can find on the channel and i ranked them all should i do should you want me to spoil it i think you can't it's but i could spoil it my favorite character is one we're not actually playing with it's the oracle and the reason why i didn't choose to play with that one here is a i don't know if we actually i'd have to bring mine from home i don't think we kept that in the in the library copy it's the most complex character and i wanted to kind of keep characters that were maybe a little bit easier to follow for people i wasn't as familiar with the game um but my favorite is the the oracle is it the rolling right one it's the rolling right one i actually i like them all i do like the dragon rancher a lot and the fact that i'm having to remember how it works means i need to play that one again because i'm forgetting kind of how all the little things work red i'm impartial to this decision oh my goodness wait have we already loaded twice huh wow okay now you want to put it there or over there over here now you're going to put it there oh that gives him the option though but it also guarantees me a green bag so do i want to go for a win or do i want to go for chris losing it's a tough choice i asked myself that question everything in mind yeah i asked myself i'll give you 12 right now you could well you do whatever you want to do i don't know why i could go mega that's what i want chris to lose favorites are the chronomancer and the captain yeah the chronomancer i considered playing that um today uh that was the last one i played actually at the at the retreat oh okay pretty uh i played with the chronomancer i like that one too i like them all lupia i really legitimately do like every character and then that guarantees getting down there [Applause] modern euro games i've got i'm going to do it sorry can you use spinners we're thinking here montana yeah by rudiger yeah montana does it yeah has a fun spinner mechanism yeah this one i like this one a lot yeah okay so it's back to me back to me i feel like i definitely need to get some ingredients uh that that sure seems to be a thing i need who all have you played i'm sorry did you guys when i was overthinking go over that no move i've played them all at one at least yeah i figured alchemist for sure that was rude i only figured that because you reviewed that no no that's fine yeah yeah that's not weird that's not rude i figured then i figured i'm going to take a ingredient i'm going to take i'm going to call oh wait can i do that red i don't know if i can take the icore that way that's a good question i think you may have to call yeah red green blue or yellow yep so that doesn't work as well for me this doesn't count yeah i'm gonna i'm gonna call blue i'll go oh but man there's like no blue out there all right i'm gonna try it anyway blue these are gonna go there okay um is that two hours oh thank you i can't believe i'm still helping this man i know right i got so excited no like you know so it's a pity i'll help you understand your character so i'm gonna load the boat so i'll go ahead and place these here in a moment that way we can keep the game chugging along spike move is always a good move well yeah i know i misread that from here i thought it said movie i don't i'm not familiar with the spike you never heard the sprite movie it was right after the coca-cola movie they're both it's hard to tell which one is better the sprite movie was running on the coattails of the 7-up dot correct video game hype okay let's go ahead and put this in the it shows we have a lot of extra left most on the right side left most right side is a lot of processing here no left most right side there you go bottoming thank you and then i'll place these and you can go chris oh it's me snap i wasn't really oh snap oh i wasn't planning on this the the shame uh what a i need food that's what the dragon makes you're talking that's just camilla talking [Music] all right i really need a way to move my boat darn it all right move your boat man move your boat thing move your boat thing oh yeah yeah home how you doing now i think i'm gonna go buy a card it's gonna cost me one hour and a corruption oh no i've got a corruption but the card gets rid of a corruption [Music] goodbye so i've got that what's that mean again oh i know what that means i spend one hour oh uh-oh looks like i'm still atop the game here i hate everything about it you should i'm now going to i've got the coin you just bought the one i've got the power that's dead i'm gonna go ahead and activate now my card row okay for two hours are you taking the corruption no because the timing of things yeah i know i know mike go ahead and say that that's a shame that's a shame oh i've heard that before all right so i'm gonna write my favorite director is sprite lee and his masterpiece do the sprite thing a sprite lee joint okay i'm going to take one coin off of here which gives me one point so i'd like one of them rubies now i'm sure you would thank you i would like to move my boat two spaces dupe [Music] and i have to put a coin right back on there um i'm giving up one fishing but that's okay oh my gosh i gotta do poop this is my favorite thing ever all right i love it so you're loading the boat too aren't you these stumps are real why didn't i have a grinder no that was my action oh you only how many did you move just now oh i'm sorry loading the boat yeah yeah that's right yeah cause you went straight ahead you didn't take the corruption that is correct yellow oh see i locked him out of getting a second yellow in there and pulling it in you're welcome mike okay okay uh what what do people like you don't have you can't read me yeah i really i truly cannot read you uh my next all right right there where'd you put it okay there we go yellow there huh well that's intriguing if that's the case chris if that's the case then i'm going to come here and call yellow oh he's helping me he's helping he's so happy i can read him like the back of a book we call this semi co-op all right um we're going to do we don't call it that are you sure we're going to do this we're going to do this then we are going to that was two hours do i want to take the corruption i don't think i do i think i'm going to go juan oh jason the shelf of opportunity still i would say oh gotta get this played jason gotta get it played it's so much fun gotta get it load this oh where was that probably just fell out of the bag once yeah yeah yep that's what we're gonna assume that was a cheat i know that when we reviewed this i gave this i gave this one a six point five right you know and you were wrong i no i still stand by it for you know put this in the leftmost boat and then move it to the center uh port please oh delicious look at that look at that all right all right i think it's worth playing though you know if you've already got it especially because it's going to do some neat unique stuff yeah i i mean this game just like scratches a lot of it just for me i know that i use that phrase a lot but i really really like this game i think it's so clever and it's a great way like i said if different people like different types of mechanisms it's a really good way everyone can do something like that enough of like getting in each other's ways let's not direct take that you know if it has enough player interaction but also enough multiplayer solitaire you know it really really is a fine balance that i that i enjoy a lot um all right you know what i'm just going to keep the poop on uh words out of context i don't know that there are any context to those words that can make them better man two hours i need a new poop one two so i'm gonna take two hours to not poop sorry to now you're not you're not taking the corruption i'm going to take two hours tonight i don't think so okay but i think so i mean no okay all right got it i'm gonna take two hours to not poop is definitely words of constipation is that what i was going to do i'm going to go back no no i didn't do it yet that's not what i was going to do i was going to buy a person that's what i was going to do because i'm going to take one of the middle ones i will take another [Music] yeah it's kind of a useless small good but that's fine not useless but no you've already got some that'll buy a red right there yeah it's just one though that's a shame all right and then we scoot and refill once once once so this is a red good it goes like here yeah yeah it's immediately good to go like this guy i hired brings his drinks that's right oh that's a lovely dragon it's mine pretty much he bribed me for a job that's correct i'll hire you but you've got to give me your dragon flip uh one step above a welcoming game yeah i think that's probably about right probably about right and then you're loading a boat right yeah and then i'm going again no i don't like that one step above a welcoming game maybe right because like is this in the same room with seven wonders it depends if the person like it depends how much the person's willing to be taught yeah yeah i think that's ultimately the big question yeah that if i do that that takes both of those up you know the meme where the you know you see all like the calculus yes yeah equations going in front via the verge are you gonna make corruption worth more or less oh you're incorruptable [Music] i'm gonna do that all right yeah so let's go on there and those other two go into the guild halls you know who's gonna benefit the most from those yellow small goods delicious look let's not get caught up in the details yeah i'm really bad about playing like that anyway well you're going to get fighting me oh yeah yeah so did you move already and you so you're going to do i'm going again now and i've got to it seems like she's taking 15 turns in a row am i wrong but seriously you have moved seems like you need to get out of my business yes i have oh yeah okay all right i am then going to go to it's a spanish actress it's not julia roberts i didn't think that it was julia roberts i'm going to go out on the record i'm going to go in here and go on the record that's julia roberts i'm going to let you sit in that sinking ship oh i can do that i'm going to do that and take three food daniel you're probably right sure wrong one it sure looks like just three foot gosh that's too fast all right i'm looking this up on my phone right now i'm gonna break the the that rule of one two three being on your phone during a game okay hey julia hey [Music] robert calculations yeah but that's not actually julia roberts just because it's a common misconception it says julia roberts calculating me though this is go to knowyourmemes.com i didn't even know that was this there's a there's an encyclopedic history of memes i refuse it was from a brazilian soap opera you're probably right i'm telling you you bring that up apparently i'm not the only one to think that because if you type in julia roberts calculating it comes right up i'm sorry that we have to listen to such daniel i guess you thought it too it sure looked like i'm out it's okay this turn has been 800 hours am i wrong how far did you go uh one okay are you taking the corruption or are you gonna load a boat i'll take the corruption okay wait does that mean i stay there no it means you go here oh and then i go again no because you're you're behind us technically but in your head in front yeah got it so go go go go go go take another corruption you do take another corruption you just lost the game right hope you like um that sweet sweet corruption okay i'm going to activate my peoples get rid of this piece of trash and then i'm going to do two brew actions and i will do this one and this one and that was for two um i'm i'm loading boats baby one two i don't like about this board it's like the more you look at it what do you i'm sorry the more you look at like the more little things you see you know i know yeah there's there's lots of cool little so you do like that about it yeah i do yeah did i say not i know i miss her usually put this on the rightmost boat please hey rightmost there we go thank you not a lot of boats left no they're not are you sure that's where you want it i'm sure my friend i'm positive are you sure the meme is from a brazilian actress in a very famous soap opera i like she was the villain okay oh we talk about movies yeah they're no it's not i appreciate who i thought was that person could definitely be julia roberts uh stunt double i'm gonna move here for one hour hmm michael i appreciate it but i am not sure why i guess we could catch chris we could i don't think it's likely i don't know i'm not sure chris has ever lost this game or any game for that matter i've been chris a couple times hmm interesting name one game in the last uh yesterday where you've won against me i haven't played since yesterday i rest my case yeah so i move one hour and i think i am going to load the boat [Music] if you pulled a green right now i'd be okay i think i actually have to take the corruption yes take the corruption feed into your hate okay so it's you again i get to go again i hate everything about that the sound of an angry dragon matchmaker what am i rancher dragon matchmaker matchmaker mac jacob make me oh sorry all right i get uh i get to add a coin and get two movements i get to remove a coin for one point i'm at 102 you've got to flip that that uh oh i get to see what this chest is it's full of green i don't like that at all oh no everything did chris and i come here if something other than green oh no i need the green but he didn't so i was very confident in that and then the names of the characters everyone's playing mike is playing the alchemist um camilla is playing the dragon rancher and chris is playing the captain that i am there is also in the base game i am going to fish this i think they mean dwell drake oh okay i don't think oh yeah i'm finest captain greendale there's also a blacksmith i don't know the name of the blacksmith offhand chronomancer and the chronomancers yeah this one to recap the dragon rancher is expansion yeah dragon rancher's expansion the innkeeper is an expansion i am and i already know how far did you go well i went uh two hours one two so in case you forgot how to catch up with you there yeah okay case you needed help one day hate everything about it okay all right i am going to go and utilize my hold on i have another turn then because maybe i will do we have any yellow big i could do a yellow big there i didn't realize that i was gonna get at least one more turn i expected the boats to come in you're getting one more turn even if the boats come you're always guaranteed it one more turn um unless i made it come in you know even if oh yeah that's right here because it goes oh okay okay all right i'm gonna go and hire a person unless somehow you were already up to the thing because here we would actually load two people but and that's one oh oh oh oh oh i see ooh and that's one and then i get to choose which ones i get rid of correct yes it's not blind draw all right okay and then i oh i just realized i was dumb all right it's okay oh yeah roll names bonnie yeah it's um alchemist dragon rancher there's also a blacksmith there's an innkeeper there's an oracle that's right i play the innkeeper that's one of the other characters that i play there's also a secret oh oh oh inside of the secret stash expansion there's like a whole board inside that little bitty box secrets i think you see i got it you talked about in your review didn't you yeah okay yeah i'll plug for you all right it's pretty sweet all right so how many did you uh actions or hours that was one okay and you took the corruption i did okay and then you move that down and i do you go again i do thanks thanks doubles one thing i'll say is at this point in my game purchasing i almost always look under an insert yeah i know now i'm going to go to my people and i'll just do this one first to discard this and then i'm going to do this one second to d to do two foods this is a two hour thing this is a two hour yes sir this is a two hour affair it's like watching two thirds of the movie [Music] so that would be worth four times three you could just do all that while chris is going but that's fine unless it's going to affect you you're doing this because yeah it is and so if i did that then that would be a mecca which would be 12. remembering that those only can be sold at the black market right right that's why that's why i'm mapping uh thank you man you messed me up now what was i doing you said 12 a couple times i did and then i said times three and then so i brought that out and he moved and he went there so it'd be twelve if i just brought that so that'd be a four times three which is also twelve i have choices but that saves me a corruption ergo i will do white food doesn't count against your total it's free white food does not count against your total it can go on top that'd be like a mecca mega dragon can't be having that or do you mean when you draw tokens out of the bag oh when you drop them in the bag that doesn't count as its own separate color so that's right i remember that now yes i remember reading that last night as i fell asleep all right thank you drake yes drake i didn't catch what she was even doing i was so lost oh man and that would change it because i'm already at that so do i do that so then i not put that there and that was then i would do it yeah i meant to the chronography big but there's not going to be red big possibly might be red big but i'm not going to have that much time okay we'll do that just to have options and then i'll do that goes through peddler is the solo ai all right all right and then i do this one which is hatcher dragon who and i want that one which would go one two three up to 12. i already did this match it's not hatch and grow though right it is oh it is oh wow and it's grow as many as you want all right loopy gotta open that secret stack oh right so then i do that just make sure you inspect the package carefully oh my god that's gonna give me so much corruption but we only have three fellas out there how y'all doing on corruption i have one card i got none all right number nine oh i've got one corruption symbol oh i've got one symbol yes not to do that then that's all right i can do it so i'm just going to leave him large i'm not going to go mega but one two three i think i might all right and then i can hatch as many as i want i'm going to go ahead and do that but i take a corruption because i'm out of poop or is it do you only get a corruption what if you if you have to draw one i think and and i can't yeah i'm doing two and i'm missing yeah i'm i'm out of poop sorry you are correct i know i know how to dragon ranch ranch dragons all right now you load a boat hatch dragon i know how to raise shrimp i'm not a ranch dragon you put the sauce all over them you shake them in a bowl is this game uh going to be available i think it is available right now for a while a yellow a yellow yellow then i am going to go you have a yellow i don't want to give you options without so i will go but i want my big one to be worth more all right that increases my chances all right cool i think it's your turn drake in the chat are you talking about merchants cove i'm not sure if you tried it but the last solo scenario turns the game into a pseudo tower yeah yeah because there's a in in the secret stash there's a whole book of solo scenarios and it kind of changes up the way the game did you load that boat up there she did but she didn't finish off the boat you're so kind oh my gosh that's exactly what i said i wasn't going to do corruption is only if you need poop and camp but that was the case for you and i was pooped out yep oh i'm proud of you chris take your turn i am so proud wow can you see her shaming you on taking a time on time on your turn here i am going uh adventuring so you're taking how many hours two two joker i can see that but i think uh sorry he says that why this didn't land because many games are fun but no one can participate in the plotting but i think so i mean even now all right and then he's definitely ending the round here yeah so i passed that and that's we're already at the yellow house red curses all right well this boat is going to get filled and come on over i'm so disappointed in myself but that's okay it means i share your victory right okay so you you i will allow you to share my victory if you give me at least one of those dragons all right so i think it behooves me to get some get some reds going here constipated a new term for ap okay i'm gonna go ahead and go here and i'm gonna call red oh my gosh that was nice okay um make sure this gem is on my side not accidentally looking like it's yours it's two hours oh can you put them in the guild hall can i put them on the guild halls yes all right um chris uh or camilla i'm gonna let you go ahead and go because all i'm gonna be doing is placing these this time for me okay um let's see that's only two i've got to figure out what i'm gonna do small blue do that i'll go ahead and push it for poop end game is not negative points for me right nope i sell that ranch with the poop i don't even clean up on the way out i'm gonna go here then no no one oh i just came from that action so i can't do it again so i'll go here um would be 4 times 3 is 12. that's just gonna be eight oh but it would have to be a big one unless i do it over here a four how many blue on the small so i will do a that is small right i'm small i'm matching right okay but i'm gonna do this here put him there oh my gosh i gotta take another corruption corruption is four times whatever i have in there because i don't have a poop but it's my last turn uh how how many actions time does it take to clean up poop uh one which would give me a second thing because i don't go over so yeah thank you yes chris chris trying to chris king maker king maker i just want to be in the good graces of i would have gotten there i just needed about 10 more minutes i've heard how game of thrones ended those dragons destroyed those ships i think everything i was just going to do which was then to clean up poop which was then to bring that out and get my magic food that everyone likes this a game where you could all play simultaneously during your mini game phase it depends sometimes what you do affects other people but oftentimes it doesn't that's why i've been kind of doing that like telling people to go while i'm placing my stuff because that doesn't affect them at all yeah but when you're making goods you do want to be cognizant oh mike has got a lot of this yeah i don't want to push these boats towards those particular ports right so uh you went right or are you going correct i went two so i went one two okay there's no extra credit for going further i'm just gonna say so now it's me i'm gonna brew do this and then i'm going to do some goods here so i'm going to do a new this person's also returning that would be six so this behooves me to do a i'm going to do a small blue here i'm going to do a small red and then here i'm probably also going to do a small red although i could do a large rip but it would make more sense for me to do a small it's the same actually it works out exactly it works out for six either way so let's go ahead and make it large just for fun just for fun poop done so okay that's 12 points whereas i could get four eight yep so my action my last action of the game is gonna be to go over here and i'm gonna activate my card row again okay so i'm going to get to move a ship two spaces i put a gold onto the cursed island i recover that gold from the cursed island and i get as mike delicious says a kern a current and then i'm gonna go fish for some yellow so that returns to port with a nice little conch shell or a clam and that took you how long about 12 hours so i mean as far as no i mean as far as there about 12 hours so that there and then i go underneath correct now is what we're saying uh oh correct why does it matter because the order that we sell things given we're going to sell it all i think it also doesn't take these away right no it does not that's one of those that would i would i would absolutely hate the game if that was how it worked oh that yeah yeah yeah sure i agreed okay um so we are done with the production and now we are doing the market phase all right so it looks like it's going to be chris first and then camilla and then me those are two green fellas over there so that's 12 and this is eight so 20 points in big uh big goods camilla are you selling big goods say math i have one so that's gonna be 12 for me that'll be one two and ten okay i'm going to be selling for six for six one and five all right now we're going to the center dock here center okay so uh four times three twelve and then this one is just three so that's 15 points for your old pal yellow uh what i just that was 15 15. yeah so that'll put me up to 44 if you'd be so kind camilla i'm sorry also it says like um you said it dungeon pets it's also a little bit like um istanbul i think thank you mu jedi yeah yeah yeah we were here for the days love it chris is like pirates cove yeah i can see that a little bit like pirates cove oh we're in the middle here yes middle okay so i have eight times three for see him skipping you i do i'm sorry he's disrespecting himself no you cut me off when i started talking you sell you know go ahead nope go ahead i refuse fine all right so i've got six here and then four times three twenty four cause i have two of them that's 30. 24 and 6 is 30. okay and you do math before me i was help oh my god just trying to make your job easier says 10 20 30. wait hold on where was i i went to 89.89 so that goes two than the right it'd be 119. yep here we go thanks all right um i've got uh two times the well here here we go are 12 each 12 each you got two of them okay so 24 there oh you only do it now okay yeah 104 then good thing i went first because i got the ruby before him then i get uh 2 times 3 is six he took the two hundred ruby six he's cheating six and four is ten and then this blue will be four okay that's good now we're doing market yes yes that corruption is going to i've got red and green so one two three four five six seven eight nine 10 11 12 for me plus these right no no we're we're doing the market marketplace we're not actually doing final scoring oh we're not okay sorry i thought we yeah i think we still do yeah yeah okay yeah i think you could just clump them up technically three four five he's gonna count them again so it's 26. all right and that's 16 there for me so 1 5 and 10. yep then we add up the number of them plus these and then subtract that oh that is yeah that's good for you i get the same thing again how much i just have crap 16. so that is ten and one let me make sure i do this right minus my corruption which is minus eight out of ten players receive gold for each i think it doesn't count for these i think it's just what you have out here these yeah yeah he he's saying that he don't you don't you don't do these other sex it's just those yes each faction on a townsfolk or corruption card because some of the corruption cards have of those icons like that right yeah you don't count these again we did that during the market phase it's just these then i just totally messed up my scoring and i have no idea where i was you just need to remove whatever you did twice for this okay so i did eight here one two three four five six seven eight and then i did you're going forward these i did because i did i already took the corruption off so i'm going back up that i got hey i'll let you figure it out i got me okay one two so 19 minus 4 is 15 so i have 15. 15 what points up from there all right so that's uh 10 and 5. all right so what am i doing i do tell me what you just did because i needed i took these two multiplied it by what's there so 3 seven that's 14. i added another five for this for everything everything i just undid i need to do then go ahead tell me no i'm sorry i i've tried to i'm trying my best to explain it you you need to add up rate the number of people on which is what i'm saying yeah during the market phase we're counting these right you don't do that again you're just doing what's on your call one plus that like this counts as that i thought it just meant you count these people that's yeah that's yeah so yeah what you yeah so you have been getting uh for seven points from the tree trunk right yeah you don't do that again during the the final scoring oh it's not seven plus this seven correct oh oh yeah i knew that okay okay yeah yeah yeah yeah i think i think there's been a disconnect here i believe everything i should do let me do it again then so that is 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16. they're blue yeah i don't know five okay that's right so that's five and one that's where i ended last time okay i don't know then minus eight i think my scoring got really messed up so then minus eight right because that's just one of those it's just minus four because or unless you have another one somewhere else oh no i thought those were double okay nevermind one two three four that's a different one plus 175 no i actually do not have a really good setting here i've got uh six points in yellow eight points in blue five in red oh i did that wrong sorry what five in red okay and then you got the i assumed the eight from i did blue okay cool and then i have uh three three corruptions so i'm gonna lose 12. one two and ten still though yep that's close all right my goodness i have zero confidence that my score is correct the main point is that we're just kind of trying to show off how the game works and hopefully give you an idea why this was my favorite game from 2021. um like every game it's not going to be for everybody but it definitely was for me it's a game that i really really enjoy i appreciate uh how difficult it must have been to kind of make these different characters all work and it does to me feel very balanced i've never really had a game where things just felt completely out of black so um yeah i really like it if it's uh one that you are interested in you can check it out i do believe it's available retail now and it is yeah awesome there we go well there you have it green tail came out on top it did come out on top it was a relatively close game even though we have zero confidence in the final score like making us do math forwards that's correct then forward that's what it is re-doubling forwards and going back and i didn't even get to smash so yeah well we do have a kickstarter going on right now as well if you're not aware although you probably are but if you have not had a chance to check that out please please do we absolutely uh appreciate your support and depend on it to do all these awesome stretch goals we're trying to reach i think the next one is is the solo series that i'm uh got tinkering around in my brain up here so hopefully we can make that happen and all the other wonderful series like the a team top 100 would be lovely to get going too so let's uh let's see if we can make that happen uh also we'll be back tomorrow with plenty of fun stuff uh we've got the next phase of our top 100 and we've got a live play tomorrow of arc nova tom's going to be leading that his number one game of 2021 but until next time i'm mike d'alessio i'm chris yeage standing up to go push the end stream button yeah [Music] keep going keep going have fun [Music] you
