Push-a-Monster - GameNight! Se3 Ep7

tonight on game night mark Dave Aaron Nikki and myself Lincoln are gonna play push a monster for Wolfgang do shil and Manfred rhino published by Queen kids and for two to four players so let's get pushing hey Lincoln hey Mark would you teach us push a monster sure we'll push a monster we are all trying to the game works is that you're all trying to get the longest line of monsters these these being the line that you'll be getting and the only way that you get them is through the others misfortune in playing the game the way it works is on your turn you're gonna roll the die will tell you which piece you're gonna push on the board and you put it on this platform here and if it falls if it falls off you put it back on a restart but otherwise things must stay on and they have to get on the board and you do not want any pieces falling and the reason why I say misfortune is let's say that on my turn everybody else who was involved in this round will get one of these except me so your line is already longer than mine yeah if through that through that me well you guys will do better than me and that's about it I mean really the only thing that you gotta know is the game ends when there are no more of these monsters when it comes up to push on the board so in a sort of roll on that monster we're gone that's the end of the game that's the end game edition another effect that you have to know is this you will choose the tallest pile of mud stairs when you do this and less yeah it's a question mark it's a tie it's your choice of the tops yeah okay the other aspect is if more than one piece falls off they get more than one viola the other element is you can spin this around to try to get the roomier position I start so like if it's pretty crowded you can slightly turn it around till it gets to what where you can actually push on them more easily from where you're at and as I said before you kind of want to strategize your placement when it starts to get crowded you'll be surprised you can actually cram a lot group reward much more than you think but you know if you're gonna push one off try to push one of the smaller ones because they are worth less to the other player so this is like an official pushing thing yeah that's very cool and the purple monsters there's no there's none of those more they're the biggest ones so when they come off it's really bad for you and great for everybody else they start in the middle yes or and I think it's they all just need to be on there is no like guaranteed position but everything must be on the board before you start - Purple's on the board and then one of so other things can hang off the edge from your push but the thing you're pushing on must be completely on the board yeah other things will be dangling for sure that's gonna be a lot of security and it's clearly we're not doing it because of our situational setup but I'm assuming that in the rete in the quote-unquote real game you're allowed to get up and move around yes you're obviously it's very difficult right but that's one reason why you're allowed to move the right sure yeah I if it falls off while you're rotating it I don't I feel the death doesn't count you just try to put it back on the board Conan friendly game yeah and if pieces fall off any other way besides the catch-up on the table not Iman but other people will get the people get the tiles okay cool cool so the rules do say that the youngest player starts but since we feel like we do that too often here at game night we're gonna say Dave is this monster Nicki's this monster Aaron and then Mark and see if we can roll one of those to pick a first player nope you rolled the non play the monster that's way it's me Green that was Nikki we are a green monster right here I go oh I rolled the white guy it's pretty fly what I don't understand I don't understand I look at this right out the gate I'm gonna rotate rotate it then to get the little Libby part towards philippi part why not make it easier done inning yeah so let's be good all gonna be all the way on that might not have s.r.o watch okay what can I can I don't want to play some of you can't touch it can't touch it what's on your bar I didn't have to place it that way I could have placed it that way oh that's a new one better look at that big fight we got into during push a monster push a monster the friendship ruining game okay can I go that's scruples in your plaits group I'm terrified terrified yeah be scared it's gonna be game over there's no way no way no way no way besides monster push that monster the site is good no it's not now it's not good okay you leave her alone she'll figure it out look man she's an artist easy all right I'm done round of applause I'm gonna push this yellow space monkey he's pointy he is pointy but he's not that big good luck need a lazy susan for this well normally you would just get up and walk around the table now there are some games that really need like a card table like a small force little card table baby is on alright hey come on I regret going for maybe not that had anything to do with it mmm-hmm well I have to it we're gonna keep rotating this thing xiu'er mmm this is gonna work yeah I hope not is it okay can I say that out loud yep we're not a little you know use the contours I would just you got so much Ramadan you're being waged you've got tails just proceed and stop worrying about it because she's getting close Oh what are you doing well I can't push that one any farther that what are you doing alright Dave good luck pointy guy boo-boos you know the same place I did around well risky I'm not good as the problem I I agree if there's lots of real I'm not necessarily good alright let's see I can spin this without ya screwing everything up if you just grab the box here I did it should we all just get one of the yellow ones right now no a yellow and a red I'm talking about and a green maybe an orange maybe I don't know what you guys are talking about well maybe the orange yeah no no way - what'd you say shove it yeah yeah just cram it in there but you gotta finish I am I'm on he's on that was my finish that was his big finish there's a hundred percent yeah I probably didn't even need to do that last push but I did it anyway he's out of the game oh they don't stack backup nope no out of the game roll it out game would go for it I guess that's yeah yeah okay I'm just gonna take this now maybe probably yeah probably yeah oh oh that one's won almost feels right it was getting away but it's kind of where yeah come on she's gonna she's gonna knock it off it's gonna push it off anyways Astra's where she there where do you guys think I should have gone with that one here in this empty space that's right I thought no one had knock this off for sure this is bigger to me see this holds any thing you're talking why they give me a green piece no she's gonna give us an orange it's gonna push all the way across yep I think she's gonna get away with it no way well of these errand world I think Aaron will give us something everybody know if it gets back to me and no one has given how to anything where it's stopped we're not gonna play this game yeah does that matter stupid dumb already Oh nicely done no it's not done oh yeah oh yeah well the green is the best one to get I know it's true it's green blue green given I start my breakthrough it starts yes that's true everything it is a point all right give me a read come on red pre pre pre attend uh that's a renter ah I would just jam it as far as how are you gonna give us here that's no good I'm gonna give you one I like it I like it does I can push that monster and onenote oh I was just in it no he's nothing I'll take one guaranteed loss rather than you know bad they meet right rather than listen the scenery it's not on yet yeah well oh yeah nicely done white white the parade begin continues Oh okay just push this one right off just the other ones when I just did just you know it's different I haven't plan oh I like that I know exactly what your plan is and I like it what's my plan you're gonna give us of these three pieces no no way I see I know the plan under the plan team really I think it might work mark I like it all wrong forget your plan I just say I like this plan but I believe some things I'm done yeah look at that all right I think you might get away with this I know you might I don't need to get away with it I just need to not I think you are gonna get away that that's the worst part about it No thank God because that was I was giving you guys that oh yes that's what I would have tried to do too that would have been good come on something small white or green or mean it is Oh gimme I know dump a bunch of stuff shove it that's what that's definitely a way to go no one's really tried that technique yet this shame that take me yeah why don't you shove it I'm game for pushy player oh no that's too easy yeah you're the one that little you know well you're the one that left the hall no no yeah just smash it if I'm hoping through his frustration you had a rattle rattle your opponent whatever you know white or red well let me give you this red one no maybe she went I don't know pushes a wedge that can go on the board hey one player per hand one pusher but we haven't double anything up yet it's a very interesting period so what the ground doesn't match only broken mine doesn't look oh oh you're right it's so they're not quite the same level I'm watching I'm looking at my parade he's in my rate we should you should put Mission Impossible music early but not that the bloody fusing yeah yeah the chronometer the quiet one the quiet like that one it's just that kind of yeah yeah no it's not coming on a lot of troubles not coming off look how much more room she's now over here still I don't know what you're talking about I'm not paying attention you okay I'm giving Nikki positive thoughts there's no shame oh yes there is it still no way you can do it Nicky no but these two our problem over here no they're not yes not the way do not the way the L is well I don't know I can't see that it's bad Oh me tell you it's bad I think if you'd get that way you could have gotten away with it I don't know man I'm just playing all right yeah yellow did you know I like the lineup that shows up over here come on orange Oh with peace would you like to my turn they were definitely safer yeah whether they were safe is a question I would agree they were safer dude I'm gonna push this mace wielding frog the green toast monster yeah he's definitely toast shaped yeah like it that's a club nobody's piece it's a piece of oh I should make a toast I'm only looking down oh that makes more sense it helps it to brown to right yeah but over there yeah red that's better hmm all right misfortune of others come in my way for someone else I get it I get you well yeah just cram this red one in the middle there can I do that I'm gonna drop them in and every drop of it you told me they said that you couldn't just stack it on top you cannot it cannot it actually is in there it is called Jewish a monster not placed on top I called stagger monster monster he was like he's not he's not named as any guy I don't think you are I think you're gonna get away with it no we're gonna get toast I think seriously I don't think he's gonna push me off just give me time all right yeah that's pretty good that was minimal losses right there green and hurt all others thank you sir still it's fortunate everybody's happy for me purple everybody's happy let me give them Purple's I'm not happy no I'm not no just shove off the one orange that's where red and green I'm gonna try to just give you a green okay but I'll likely fan oh this is bad yeah it's all bad bring it on in there and see what house that goes there I think that might be she just gets the green no what you can compare this is horrible but look at how much that arena can get oh look at I'm committing to this horrible plan go go go just you know you're gonna knock stuff off just that's sure you might as well just do that one you want a set Niki up to do something that red one is squeezing right out there that's fine I'll give it a rating yeah I think you're right it slides a lot easier when it's being pushed how does the shape yeah you think it's easy but it also moves but it's not it's not everybody can their nose into you and then what do this yeah this guy's gotta think it's candy we know it's not oh yeah red and green I think it's gonna frog toast I wonder if I could get away with it do you think that yellow would fall off if you just started going the other way give us three pieces if you do that alright fair enough do you want three pieces yes all right here we go so he's gonna try you're crazy you're crazy I hate for that alright well there we go that makes things easy that - one more to go you're only gonna get two and you're gonna like it I like them what's that purple lady that I can't I have to do this until this is on there's nothing that says you have to stop I was one about that you have to actually stop oh can you can you just shove it in worse and make it tougher for everybody else all right the game was getting out of control all right red and green look at that the two smallest ones thank you thanks so far but I've had to give everybody the biggest piece so far with the white all right Nikki rolls red green or orange last move the game no it's when you're rolling it's not like oh and it's not there oh that's way worse come on Nikki question mark white guy good luck with that thank you we don't want to give Aaron another piece we can't give us one without giving Aaron one Air India yeah y'all you need me to fail them yes right now yes seems unlikely well what opposed don't use it seems like is this so when you have a turn where you don't push anything off yeah that's huge yes because not only did you give nothing away but you mean it worst you've made it absolutely works for the next person well it is the white guy you just just think about it as long as you need Nikki no no you take as long time as you need move it I'm moving it caution to the wind I like your thing they'll have at this point like just try to push the purple - yes that's C Dickens on Karen but that's what I was actually trying to do I like to play like you my strategies oh oh it's madness hello it might be doable go for it baby I think she's gonna get mad work I think that will work except it might on the greens gonna come over here but it's the smallest one that's okay it's exactly what you wanted to do in fact she wants to get the smallest one off you have to give us something bigger right oh she's gonna get the green only she might not even do that no it's she might not even do she's got a long way to go over here oh these times are really interesting when you look at them I think she's gonna get away not even pushing him around there's still a lot of Tyler here but she's got to go more sideways than towards oh oh you know what I think if you did it that way yeah if you'd flip the tile around you might have gotten away with it oh yeah yeah come on oh there you go all right well now setup except careful on that one you know you don't want to push the yellow one off she's not good that's good yeah you got plenty of room over here plenty of room it's always that one little corner there's always a Cornetto loser oh come on oh yeah yay almost yeah all right toaster everybody I like toast I don't get any I want toast come on Erin yeah orange orange orange my strategy's Walgreen terms now this one uses dishes I think you are sorry I don't think you're sorry though I think I understood there's just no chance anything's gonna fall I would agree that no he's getting confident he's gonna get arrogant it is but everything I do is pushing that red one Oh the winning town Oh specifically in the rules no you are not allowed you knew that too come on fall yeah I think that's true well we're all screwed because anything I get Aaron gets if it happens on marks turn he's not screwed if he rolls green then the game is just over that's true yes when you're rotating well that's all I'm gonna put a penny gets to put it back rotate it really hard and then you stack will you spin it the old centrifugal force move well I think you're all getting an orange I think so does they're so big though well you could push from the orange side I like orange orange yeah yeah see that's the way they Nestle together there oh and get that purple hanging off the edge the way you like I don't know you might be throwing it all the way off the edge with you monster parade monster light on this monster police line on over don't really know my parades too long afternoon back on camera my parades yes sir orange and of all the pieces like like all the pieces in all the world can get away with this you're crazy what do you mean you thinks he can get away with forgiving us to orange and white I'm not gonna give you two orange and a white watch this alright first we do this alright first we do that there we go there you go that goes wants to go see just a little maintenance that is legal you can fully spin it after you've used it try to figure out the best way because then it's gonna stop here actually done anything all right you get one time where you can be over the edge right right that's right oh you use it right now yeah could you here's this a real serious question could you start pushing on one side of the board and then go over to another side of the board to actually position your piece that I do not believe you could only push the one I think yeah but I use it to push other pieces and then go somewhere else I know you guys are probably really I believe what I just did was Ely what yeah you think it's fun Oh yellow and orange what this one yeah it's already wobbled none of us have had a purple yet though they'd give us a purpose no that's not gonna happen right oh and this ribbon on the sides of it isn't this part you should have chewed on with trunk inside oh oh sweet now and now you get locked now I don't care you care if you hit the purple one too hard Oh another orange one for us no no he's getting orange and yellow game was already over there you go all I did was all I did was cost myself a second place roll it up Nicky go above me so many ways to end the game no only no orange I'll be more game over all right oh wait hang on now who has the longest okay we should probably well let's divide them up just to see well do you know tape measure has the longest come on I'm putting oh I want to see by how much should I even be you mark yes you did even with even giving away those ten did I don't think so I beat you by very closest no you beat me why push it up push it up way up push a monster push a monster way Wow look I beat mark though that's crazy more than the yellow tile all right Dave would you think of push a monster that was really fun you know it's like all of these sort of dexterity dice where there's that random element to it right a lot of it is gonna be based on you roll the big thing for yourself and the other people are all the small thing it's tough yes because only you only really have what's nice about this is I think unlike say the stacking games this seems to be less about the actual pushing and more about just choosing where you've come in from sure so if you make the bad choice from the get-go which you probably don't know then it doesn't really almost the pushing might not even matter at that point but at least I don't feel I feel like I have more control here then when I stack stuff the shape of the arena is misleading though that's what I really loves yes you've got a bunch of pieces on you can't really tell really how much purchase we have yeah oh that looks safe and then a little just a tiny bit no sounds like vibrating it's pretty pretty intense it holds more monsters on there then you would initially think when you start the game out so that that's fun too yeah you don't think you're gonna be able to add four months before anything falls okay you probably can well the best of these have that right the remember those early Zach games where what was the one with the tilty down below yeah bumble ayo where it would be like here and you're like oh we can't tell more and then it would tilt more and things still wouldn't fall off and it's the the best of these and you exactly what you're saying link about the shape the best of these are designed in such a way that they they exceed your expectations as to what you think it can withstand which is what's cool about it what do you think yeah I think and like you said it's important it's got to die for it to be like a kids game cuz like you say like bomba leo all those dexterity is for gamers yeah suppose you can think out I mean it could be like a gamer thing where you have one of each piece and you're gonna have to decide which one to play when but it's not that way it's lighter you just roll and go you don't read about it - it's funny I think art this group was a little different than a few times I played it at BG fam there was a lot more strategic strategic place where you were gonna place way not yeah right but there was a lot more like maximizing the tiny bits of space and getting it in there and then leaving a horrible for the next person over and over again it was weird I don't know I don't see the view from above or you know cuz I was over at the side there so I didn't really know exactly what it looked like but it seemed to me like you guys weren't necessarily always maximizing probably not basically not that was when that marked it that one I was like I just pushed that other one that's really teetering off and then hope yeah of course it is misleading that these other ones that seem to be really on their containment right you know that was what I thought potentially but like this guy being here on a piece like this is terrible because if you were to put another one on here you've got to maneuver it around again all that B's on it stuff you knew personally though have really good sort of spatial recognition in that regard and that obviously I mean any dexterity game has a certain level of skill to it based on can you are you good at stacking things are you good at flicking things are you good at does that make sense and for me I feel like my special recognition is roughly average maybe maybe a little better so I wasn't trying to spend too much time on that other than I'd make a look I think about 10 seconds I pick a thing and then I would you know the other thing is like I was saying at the beginning except for that lady she like a aiming for a trip to try to get a small piece off if you can at all do that the best way to go it's just difficult right right the the way like Nicky was struggling with that one piece rocking it back and forth minutes you must have to just kind of shove and then navigate this is the biggest piece well no but we didn't give any purple so here you go this is the biggest piece I have - and Mark has one and you guys have three so clearly we gave away extras if I gave away a bunch I was one thing I mean you gave me one but you didn't give I gave you gave everybody else how did he not have one more of these looks like Aaron is the one that because I gave you I gave everybody one oh you gave you gave these two and I gave this one yeah yeah but I was I thinking um that you guys never gave away an orange piece I don't think that's true it is true like we got you got two from re one for me were you saying I love it I love the fact that there's the whole I really like a like all really good dexterity games even Jenga an animal upon animal it's got that abstraction of an inch tension yeah you can just if I push this a tiny tiny bit more and then let go is something gonna fall and that's the that's the greatness of the game it really does a great job of like you said hiding the sort of knowledge of whether it's got how close it is or exactly and then you know you have to just do it little fraction by fraction of a fraction and see where you end up and me and Nicky were talking on camera a little bit I actually think the design of the piece shapes is pretty genius because even though this red one is pretty small and pretty easy to get on there it has such slick curb sides that it moves around a lot once it's yeah and the yellow one is very pointy compared to everything else and it can just hook onto things and take it down and and way down with you and white and green even though they're they're just various big pieces they have these like curves that can sort of fit into each other they're not really as you know hard to position as you might think so it's interesting that way yeah one thing like I think almost all the dexterity games do is it's you know someone win I'll say this as the loser NARAS someone wins and early on once I had made my first big screw-up or something like that it was pretty clear the Aaron's leading right and I'm not much you can do to like rein that in Yeah right well I kept trying to sort of like clockwise around the table let's set up but problem is even if we could do that I don't know in this kind of game that I want to do that yes right I would say in in a kids game especially like this we all had fun it doesn't really matter who won I don't think but that is a feature to me I mean it was yeah I won but you know that's one monster push it was victorious and this will go down in the record victory but who cares really I like the parade like you said it's a fun name for and just them figuring out the victory through that there's like some other game I played that had this sort of thing but it didn't work as well this is just really a fun way to keep school it's right whatever the actual theming of it is MIA in this case yeah because it's not something as like the longest I mean they're all cool little things they're creatures that I'm learning enough and when you know they look kind of fun staring at you while you're sitting but that's it but what you were saying before being bow stack is that when there are all those dicks dirty games in that way oftentimes by like the second or third turn in the game mm-hmm you can see like oh well that person is gonna win right or or more specifically oh I'm not going to win there are definitely games where you can dexterity games especially where you can be out of it right away yeah and I don't know I I it seemed clear that Aaron was there was always a chance part of it was we were this it's close right yeah and all it really mean what did you wrote this is that what you're a year old green twice in a row if Aaron doesn't roll the green on yeah on his last turn maybe Nikki wins yeah or maybe we win depending because if you know know if Aaron pushes something off the board is different for us yeah I understand it's physically possible no but I mean in all seriousness I mean I think it does get to the point where it's like oh you know you can't and here it's a kids game right and it's one it's a dexterity gave to it's a kids game so I shouldn't be thinking this way how do you like skew the game like to go against a particularly yeah but I don't I don't really feel that it's just kids though I feel that it's absolutely families family shame with a challenge for every single person in the game yeah because the the dexterity element it's really really fun to watch it's fun to watch people playing it's fun to see the bad choices and for me oh no no I just I thought you were having a rough time and you came in yeah she didn't real well and not just because of this it was clear during the game she was doing pretty well but nikki has good sort of spatial recognition as well so I think that I think that helps I'm really right in your hand yeah I like that push sometimes I like to push you thing a lot I like how they act I like how that solves that problem of of right like you're shaking adds a layer of uncertainty in the move that you have to actually use the tool it's not that my there was never a point even with the tension where I felt shaky when I'm stacking something there's always that like it always seems to happen well even though I stood to gain things when you guys knock stuff off I was still kind of route like yeah yeah oh no and so that was fun too to worry about it just to worry about that with everyone else yeah that make sense right - yeah good Artemis's key the line of answers that's really cool that's funny pushing them out they don't like to go in the sunlight like they're monsters under the bed I think that's just an equation swears hey guys got another piece yeah what do you got - Femi you're too deep all right I like it today yeah thank can we convert agency oh thanks like I'm teaching us the King problem
