Expansion Pack: Santa's Turn - Do they know it's Quiz-Mas?

Welcome to Whose turn is it anyway, where we've got enough board gaming goodies to fill up Santas sack Nice. Yeah it's Christmas time. So that means it's party time isn't that right guys? Yeah. slugger. What was that? What was that Davey Party poppers. Thanks, mate. So we're here once again for another Christmas. And we did this last year, which was a lot of fun. I think it's probably one of my

Ho ho ho,

thanks, mate. Davey. Hello. He's very far away, down a well. Rob, Hi, and Adrian.

Was that happy enough.

A bit more. More energy. Hello. 20% more energy.

To be fair, it's more than he usually does.

So how are we all going? Doing? Yes, we all Christmassy we're all in

all sorts of good. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Did you get lethered? Well, I had a few which is more than I normally do. Yeah. I was. I was happy for the end of the evening,

which was on Friday night. Everyone's I know,

it was first work due on a Thursday night.

That's so random. That's bad. Because

there's 950 people there. And I think in any event they could do on like, they can do a Thursday night and get 950

Good. I'm just really interested in your Christmas party because I don't get to get one. Going out with the wife, I get to other people's

Christmas parties. SOCKS again, but it's like everyone's having fun around you. I'm gonna do.

Nice. Hello, you've got the substantial naughty boys.

So let's go on with the quiz. So it's our Quizmas time and we've got 40 questions where we're going to be split into four separate teams. Four of us are quiz captains. And they are myself Kerley, Adrian and Dan,

myself and my lovely wife have been teamed randomly together she knows all the questions

I don't know any of the questions

if anything she's got less chance of answering mine than you guys. But we're gonna go into the name because it's just us two Kerleyklaus as it's a Christmas party and

Kerleyklaus. Yeah Kerley and Bex, great stuff.

You gonna get your claws out with each other as well.

If you get it wrong.

No, that's if we get it right.

Like Adrian.

I've been teamed with the wonderful Davey we are Christmas spirit Island. Nice.

Nice Nice play on words. Okay, Team Three. Coop quiz. You're

You're not very good. Very good at it, Davey.

He doesn't like his movements been impeded by others. It's true.

He's going solo, he's going solo. Anyway, done. So

me and Tambo are together as one, the ultimate team and we don't have any hair

at all. So anywhere.

I'll get into logistics. Know that we don't have any hair. So we've gone with the baldballs nice, which is our team name, which is very fitting. Like it's good

because it sounds like baubles but it's I see

a lot of explaining it needs explaining nice and So last and

I appreciate it No one knew who Boney M was

Like six sets of eyeballs rolling. Yeah.

Fair enough. Thanks for sticking with it. So we're gonna go with that. So first round was going to be given to Monsignor Kerley off you go mate

here we are first round going to do a talk about hex first. So I've played this week Terraforming Mars for the first time in ages.

Oh my God, what's that game? I never heard of that. I

know of replay that for. It's absolutely fantastic. Now I'm not gonna go into it. But no, really, really. I was nearly nearly tempted. But now I really enjoyed it. It's good fun to play classic. And to be honest, I haven't played the new games lately. So although I've just got Dune Uprising, so I'd love to have got that one in first, but you know, I didn't. So we'll go with Terraforming Mars, which I absolutely adore. And yeah, thoroughly enjoyed the playthrough and I won, which is

Merry Christmas.

as well. It was a nice quick game actually, wasn't it? It

was it was really good, fun quick game. We got three and a half hours probably for four players pretty good. Really good fun. It was Dan, JP, myself and my lovely wife. Yeah, pretty good fun. I think it's your first time in ages when I played

for a while. Yeah, now that's a lie. I played at gridcon.

Why are you telling lies to the listeners?

Before Gridcon it had been a while but I managed to get a prelude card merger which I've never had before. Yeah, and that was just a lot of fun having to

corps I think that was a promo you know.

I think it was a part of the promo. It was a lot of fun to just play with to corporate. Yeah, well, don't

forget to remember. Oh, God Nice. Yeah, it's the it's the most fun. Really? That's for sure. Yeah,

it was good. Enjoyed. Okay.

Yeah. So on to the quiz. Let's do it. Let's do it. All right, round one. Round one fighting round one. Alright, so this is gonna be there's gonna be some that you guys won't know and some that you will was deliberately aimed at doing a bit of everyone so Alright, question number one then. With a note to last year, what year was Lordsof Waterdeep released?

You and your Waterdeep questions.

I know I had to get in a Waterdeep question mate. It's becoming a new tradition. What year was it released? Hey. So question number two then same as last year but hopefully it's going to be slightly different is named six of the current for this year BGG top 10 Please

Should have done some revision

You know I was there for hours going over BGG looking at all the different games

I suck at this, I sucked last year on this one.

It's a bit of a longer longer one this one to be honest because

you're gonna get six to get one point. Yeah, wow. Oh, this is tough on it. Yeah. But you know

I've also a lot of them are still current from last year so you know you can

see I'm in the hot seat Yeah, many ways the baldballs have given up

The bald balls have dropped .

Touche, That's staying in

But right, and this is the only one that's like It's Question number three is a throwback to Daveys special round last year. Waiting.

What's my weight? Bonus round.

Two kilogrammes. Now, so I'm Eclipse second Dawn of the galaxy. What is the weight on BGG? For complexity, we allow within point two. Oh,

that's fair. That's fair.

That's what I thought I took some time to think about that. There was half a point it would be like, I didn't want to be too generous. Eclipse second Dawn

or so between because I didn't really go

between one and five. Okay, but you've got

points 1.0 to five.

I think T might be in trouble. Because it could be good. Good.

You having fun T

number four. It's only very basic maths but we've got a little bit of maths on this one. So it's a Triple Threat question a triple threat. So I want you to add together please. Max Players in Caverna Yeah. Added to how many starting colonies you would have in a Terraforming Mars for a five player sort of starting colonies. How many starting colonies would you have in Terraforming Mars? Five player

does that is that the Sum?

Those two the first two oh you got another one? Yeah, yeah. And the number of adventure row cards in Clank catacombs I say that one because I always get it wrong so the what? The number of adventure row cards in Clank category or the row yes Question number five number five in Arc Nova what does the ability full throated do? Escuse me, sin bin, be quiet in Ark

He never played good is this is this an expansion? Base

definitely I'm actually put this in there because Adrian will

never cannot Can I get one of the cards at the game and then I will

I will be caught cheating.

Fair enough.

All right, so we're gonna split my questions into two different parts. So we're going to do five and then Becky Have you been playing lately?

I played my first game of tapestry the other day you kindly taught it to make Kerley so thank you for that really enjoyed it was really good. And then JP came around randomly last night and we played tapestry. And I won!

You didn't just win, you bossd it?

Well, I didn't you know I didn't do a victory lap on the table. I was very reserved, but it was a really good game and I really enjoyed that kind of Adrian would describe it as point salad. You can kind of go down lots of different routes you can kind of not focus on one thing too much. I really enjoyed it. Really good. Nice little models as well.

Can I just say I would describe it as shit

he's the grinch

Adrian didn't like a game, well none of us saw that coming. I really liked it. What didn't you like about it?

Tapestry? It's just random bollocks. Like all the other ones that you keep trying to push on me as Civ of games.

Well, I mean I love it. I love it.

Well, I think it's an excellent game. It doesn't

fit very well back into the box with all of the all of the bits of paper pamphlets and things which was a bit annoying, but that's fine. Get rid of it. I really enjoyed it. Really liked it. I would recommend it. I think I don't know why I've been put off playing it. I think it was the box art again. Yeah, quite inoffensive.

Just didn't fancy it a bit yellow or green. Yeah.

Didn't fancy it.

You're not one for civilization games usually, like area control. And it kind of looks like it will be that it just doesn't

give you a field the same field of a Civ game.

That doesn't play like a Civ game. Yeah,

that's why I liked it. So yeah, I would strongly recommend that one. And yeah.

For me, I've not played for a while and I'm actually sold you my copy. Yes. And then so we played a lot of touched on BGA. And yes, it's been really good fun to I agree with that. I'd

like to play a lot of tapestry on BGA. But someone take the bloody turn.

That's true. Take your turn. I've

been pretty good lately, apart from today. Today's been a bit rubbish with turns. But yes, it's good on BGA. Yeah, I like it. I wish they brought in some of the expansions in me too. I really do wish because I think it means it was quite interesting that backs you'd call it point salad. I think it's either point salad or point drought. It's one or the other. And if the cards and the Civ don't match up to the way you need to

drag when your name is done absolutely pretty

much the next bit but again, we've learned that one of the cards I had I think was feudalism that said, get three points for every single landmark you have or get a resource.

But now yeah, we played with the was it what's the latest expansion? Futures and fantasies? Yeah, that was awesome. Those new sets out Yeah, I

I can't really compare it. So I played the base version

It's more about variation. The expansions, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, I played with the were folk which was quite good, fun. Nice.

You have to pay for other recyclers. So I was just spamming tech. Yeah. Didn't work last.

If you go back to the quiz,

back to the quiz, let's do it. Right round one. Question number six. Yep. Now this is going to be painful for any of you haven't played it. So I want five of the six starting characters in Gloomhaven, please. Really, all of these faces people are making I am well happy. This is what made me

even tell you that. Well, I can't tell you.

You've got to tell me what you know. Maybe I won't say I'm happy with the with the name of the character not the race because it does say as what both on the on the card fee for five out of the six I'm happy with me yeah

now that he's confident he's

saying okay

you said Frosthaven I would have punched you? No one ever

Right moving on them. Question number seven I want six would neither. of the eight factions in War of the Ring Some of these I will say guys this Lord of the Rings knowledge a lot of them are even if you haven't even if you haven't played more of the ring, you can start off again this one.

If I get close names is that cool? Con?

Yeah, well, I'll make no judgement. But we've got free people of Middle Earth has one one faction the other goodies and then you've got the minions of sorry, the shadow armies as the other one. That's five free Peoples of Middle Earth. And there's three shadow armies so that should give you a bit of a clue.

Yeah, brilliant.

Let's see JP came into thw quiz thinking he's gonna know all of these. And he's always disappointed that there's somebody

thinking I wasn't gonna know anything and I'm not disappointed.

You're gonna enjoy this one either. I'm

afraid name 15 of the 17.

Similar. I would like for you to name all 7 , so hard to get a point animal types in Ark Nova.

All seven animal types, including or excluding the expansion again, Adrian hasn't played so good. Oh, good. Good

question on the base game, please. Oh,

I thought I actually knew one of the expansion ones because you mentioned it the other day.

Right? If I played it I'm gonna be really upset with myself.

Oh, I go on. I'll take six of the seven. I think that's fair. Six or seven.

Well negotiated. Well negotiated people.

Yeah, I am making you work quite hard for these questions. Right. So name the to civilization, the 2010 version, expansions. And they start with F and F and W and W. Say that again? Civilization 2010 version? Because there are a few. There's two expansions for that. And I want the names of them, please. Yeah, one of them begins with f and f. So it's two words. F and F. And the other one is two words W W. Everyone ready? Yeah. Yeah, baby. So

No, what is nine What is nine

I need to get one more animal type.

And still working on it?

Too with all the answers at the end, Becky so you have the time.

That's my 10 questions. Ready for the answers Wait a

No wait a mnute

You alright Bec?.

When you start to think oh, you've got it five yep? Crack on everyone

ready? As ready as we will be. What year was Lords of Waterdeep released? It was 2012 Yeah, you have 14 Adrian

For the longest time, and it was like I don't think it is because I think the expansion came out 2014 or 2015.

I put 2013

Very close dear

Yeah, it's my first thought and that's what I'm sure the

weeks then. Yeah. Rapid wings.

So names six of the BGG top 10. So in any order I'm gonna read them out now. Brass Birmingham. Yeah. Pandemic Legacy. Yeah. Gloomhaven. Yeah. Ark Nova Yeah. Twilight Imperium. Terraforming Mars Yeah, Dune Imperium, Gloomhaven Jaws of the Lion, War of the Ring and Star Wars rebellion.

Ballsed that up.

Alright, seven and got six of them I wrote gaia project which I think is a number 11 For sure. Six,

six,

habit.

I got the first four in order

Eclipse second dawn for the galaxy. Now I'm gonna round this up because it's A point blah blah blah blah yes 3.7

Yeah didn't

Didn't even need the point 2. I originally put 3.9 and give us even

more right so here's the mathematics one. Max Players in Caverna plus starting colonies for five player number of adventure rows in catacombs 20. Max players in Caverna is 7, colonies for a five player is seven and number of adventure row is six, six

I'm not doing very well

866 is seven because I have the considering

I've not played two of those games and I've only played one of those games once I seen a bloody good guess on your phone. No, I didn't. I did not turn on my phone yet and I decided to run it down because I thought I'd gone too high on Caverna. I couldn't decide if it's five or six. You

the next one full throated.

I put gain a mince pie

Is it hire extra worker is

would you like to read out my answer JP Yeah,

you can make the ooo ahhhh noise really loud? Thanks. We're gonna fall out we are

Hire an extra Association worker was the correct answer. So then it was Gloomhaven characters, I believe. Yeah, so we've got the brute. The scoundrel The tinkerer? Yeah the spell Weaver the cragheart and the mindtheif

Not Mr. Tickle Mr. Bump, Little Miss naughty, Henry the 8th and Hitler

I put Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

well I want to know what the characters special ability for

a gentle hug think is really close to

I give myself a tick for it.

Right The next one I believe was the factions in War of the ring. So you will know a lot of the so dwarves elves gondor Rohan and the one on the good guys you probably didn't get was North

the north I put men off the and then crossed out for elves to be on it. I already thought that I would have accepted the North Can I have ministereth instead of Gondor

I'll put that down to a judgement call. I can send the shadow armies our Isengard, Sauron, southron and Easterlings I will accept either of those. So

I put Mordor south the ones with the monarchs

I will accept both.

I put the goblins flat. Mordor is okay goblins.

It's not so much okay,

well I've only got four then. So that didn't work because I also wrote fellowship hobbits and Nasgul just hoping for

all four of those will be a gimme so you know you're only looking for a couple more

It's going bad

So you don't know that name all the seven animal types. Yeah, so we've got birds Yeah, predators. Herbivores lizards didn't get them because reptiles reptiles. Reptiles is what you've got. Bears yeah petting zoo and primates. Control control I need it. Then we've got named the two civilization expansions the one side with F F was anyone know?

Fame and fortune

Fame and fortune is correct

not Friedman freeze

and the WW anyone know

wisdom and warfare? That's not gonna get any point because I didn't have to first one. Oh

Sorry Tambo, its a mean quiz.

God's sake

in Gugong, what is the top and bottom gift and it was a bowl of fruit and golden statue or idol. It doesn't seem to say but I've got cows. I've been happy with golden that's what I was gonna say. I'm happy with golden

you just said cat.

I meant the one that kind of waved. Now

I think we'll put that one down as wrong, I think because it's just blatantly wrong. Are you happy with David

I got fan, not bowl of fruit. So

depression is not good for fun.

But no one else will know about it. No one else will ever. I

got three out of 10 I got quite close to some of them

Got 4 out of 10

I may have set these a little bit high, apparently. Yeah,

so good. There we go, that's round one done.

And now we're on to round two recently, and we can play loads of party games and quit games and stuff. And most of them were really good. So the game I really wanted to show people was called secret identity. So if people haven't seen secret identity, it's a it's a party game playing four rounds, and you get like 10 cards that have four images on them. So they're double sided

I've never even heard of it easy.

Easy.

Every answer is easy if you know the game

JPs desperate

Sorry mate I don't know. I'm sorry.

I've never heard of it. So.

On to question two Christmas you might leave mince pies or biscuits out for Santa to stuffing his face hole. If you get a crokinole biscuit in the centre hole, how many points is it worth?

I'm gonna shove a biscuit and you're cakehole.

Been doing that most of the day that made this

it's one or the other and I can't remember which one.

I love the way that you're covering your answers like like it's a proper school test.

And he freely admits that he's not sure of his own answers

on to Question three. At this time of year the lyrics Last Christmas I gave you my heart might strike fear into many hearts. Which of these games uses a heart symbol to represent health? Marvel United kapow Marvel champions or Harry Potter Hogwarts battle

giving multiple choice I don't think brutal

war games again please.

It was Marvel United kapow Marvel champions or Harry Potter Hogwarts battle.

Rob just had

number games

I was waiting for The Witcher I lost all that money on buying the bastard. God damn it. I love my game

Why has he turned into a Somerset farmer?

Why not? Why not?

Question four in many parts of the world sending Christmas cards is a tradition. Often it can feel like you receive too many Christmas cards. However, which of these games in their base retail form has the most cards Terraforming Mars wingspan earth or arK Nova

base form base

retail no expansions just what you get in the base game.

What about the Kickstarters easy

think I know think is that

fun thinking these are

second guessing myself on this one.

I would say you're wrong. Wrong Wrong Wrong Wrong. Wrong Wrong Wrong. You're wrong

Out of all the people in this room to be singing that at me Rob.

I know I'm wrong.

Question number five. In the 12 days of Christmas there are six different types of animal seven if you include whatever animal the maids a milking how many difference because he chuckled, because I was thinking it'd be a dirty thing to say for the crew straight.

Don't laugh for all animals. Birds,

how many different types of animals are there in castles of Burgundy Special Edition?

I haven't played that.

Unlucky.

You can be filthlooks but there was

no names and there was one name how many how many you said? Yes.

How many different types of animals are there in castles of Burgundy Special Edition,

Special Edition a 36,400. And then you've done a multiple choice on this one. Question

Okay, Rob, you've got this

right, and that's our first five I'm gonna hand over to Davey to talk about his let's talk about hex Yeah,

cool. So I've recently played Monster Hunter the board game played ice born on there because you can throw in other monsters and kind of hunt ones in between you have like a nice little schematic at the end where you get certain bits and build your weapons up before you go in you have to hunt the monster and it has kind of like a choose your own adventure where you go through and get different parts and you can either if you find the monster quickly then you take out some

even the hunting horn, which

is really even the hunting horn ya know, and the hammer.

That's Chris P's biggest, biggest regret that you had to sharpen his hammer you get really angry about it as well. But

that's pretty much to refresh your damage there. I've got a damaged deck you kind of deal out of when you like deal attacks, you play one into your rope, and then it will say like draw to act like cards. Some of them have like end abilities where you have to play at the end of your stamina thing combos where you've had to have like two cards before and you've got a little rolling things that you can roll off each other as well. Yes, it's not. It's not the most complicated of black boss

I really, I was gonna

I was gonna buy miniatures like, and it pulls out the box and there's like, you've got a Rafi and just like this massive dragon on the table.

See, I can't wait for primal to turn up. Yeah, I know. We both backed it and yeah, I felt like decades ago at this point. It's exactly the same big monster in a boat like

that. But I think it's a little bit it's got a little bit more of a complex card we can switch for heavy gamers is it all heavier gamers is a little bit better. But then Monster Hunter still kind of gets that edge go and

so it's based on an IP you might get some new people yeah and they want to get in a sort of nice level.

Yep. So yeah, just impossible to get hold of I think with the Monster Hunter game key

question as well. And it says a lot about you as an individual. What did you weapon What did

so they didn't have the hammer. I'm always a hammer, bro. Always insect glaive Yeah, so the insect glaive I played to start with because that was my other other weapon. But the mechanic I didn't enjoy as much so I went onto heavy bowgun.

and it takes forever to charge up in the actual video game. Yeah, but there's loads of damage and get concussion and you've

got the Wyvern snipe which is like a one card thing where you can play this card as long as no other cards are played. It basically does a massive damage and shot and blows up part of the armour etc. Sounds

cool. Yeah, it's good fun.

I really want to play the computer game now.

Yeah. Oh, monster hunt. Wild Wild.

Yeah. Is that new

is that the new ones that was announced the Game Awards and I didn't watch the game was it was good. Yeah, there we go. So.

So on to our next five questions. The festive period is not just about Christmas. There are plenty of other holidays including Hanukkah, which includes a dreidel that was made out of clay Which one of these games does not include a clay component? Glass road? Tinners Trail. Brass Birmingham deluxe edition or Gollum? Tinners trail, brass Birmingham deluxe edition or Gollum

what was the tinners trail? So what is

it What's it about? Does it have flight

Who thought of these rubbish questions, well, Oh, thanks me.

Number seven. In the 12 days of Christmas there are 10 lords a leaping if you include the expansion how many Lords of Waterdeep are there?

Oh, Jesus.

Oh, Jesus Christ, I've got Chance there, there's a lot, allowing any flexibility?

No

Touche.

You're a horrible individual. So

you mean so with expansions? Yeah. How many versions? Or how many?

How many loads of or literal characters in

the Mortal Kombat that

many know,

once you get the characters given at the start of the game, how many different ones are there?

Are we not going to have a guess?

But it's, it's I mean, this is I

did start I did start nice and I'm getting worse.

mastermind last way

to ask questions. Well, you're

not gonna like these last three. Question Eight. Many people will know Santa as St. Nicholas or jolly old St. Nick. How many games in the BGG top 100 have a BGG credited designer called Nick Nicky Nicola or Nicolas at the top one. So basically

pick a number out of the year. Thanks, right.

Have you got any leeway? No, no. Went to

Nicholas Nickleby.

I think it could be within 20

Well, you've got one in 100 chance. That's what you're saying is 100 that is not asking for any knowledge I made. I made

these very nice. And then I listened to last year's podcast episode and you were all very mean to each other. So I thought, well, I've got to join in

I wasn't until they were mean and then the bonus round turn into chaos after that. Everyone else's fault.

adjudicator another question.

Question Nine here in southwest of England, we get very little snow at Christmas. Name one of the three board games in the BGG top 1000 with snow in the title. Just one of them one of the three. So you need

snow way home. You know what? I'm just gonna write something down because I bet 1000 gas can be part of a word.

And finally, question 10 In some cultures if you're naughty Santa might put coal in your shoes or Christmas stocking if Santa was to buy all the coal cubes from the market that starts on the board in brass Birmingham. How much would he would it cost him? How

much would it fucking cost them? Yeah, how many cubes

shit out 3 million.

If Santa was to buy all the coal cubes from the market

$84,000

I think Dan's got a chance to get in this plays it enough he's doing some real heavy math right now.

I can literally hear his brain work

I'll allow within one cool

thanks Adrian.

You're so generous is easier than the other fucking ones.

You did complain about my question sir.

So going back to number one who publishes three ring circus. It is Devir.

Not Fantasy Flight?

No . Question Mark Not question mark.

20

I would have also accepted cosmos as they are sort of listed publisher just

at the end. If

If you get a crokinole biscuit in the centre hole how many points is it worth? 20 Indeed Absolutely.

I did not know this shame on you Apsey didn't know it.

Which of these games uses a heart symbol to represent health marvel United, kapow, marvel champions or Harry Potter Hogwarts battle

Harry Potter.

It is indeed. Kapow. Now it's up to I know it wasn't asked. If anyone cares champions doesn't actually use a symbol and mavel United uses a little a little heartbeat

This was back in the good old Adrian question days where there was multipe choise

which of these has more cards in the base retail version Terraforming Mars wingspan earth or arK Nova. You're all wrong it's Earth with 360

I

find that surprising.

Ark Nova come over was second with 255, Then TM with 233 and finally wingspan had 212 cards and it

dropped out because I thought Terraforming Mars but then you said base and it was like I've only ever played his copy

shop members from wrong this next one.

How many nights when I answer your when you read the question, Can I answer it? Yeah,

how many different types of animals are there in castles of Burgundy Special Edition? Are those a

trick question because it's game by Castle Swiper zero No.

Three nope, four

no five Yeah. So you have pigs goats, sheep cows and in these sort of additional expansion wild geese

or the McDonald's classic yeah

well geese

which of these does not include a clay component glass road, tinners trail, brass Birmingham deluxe edition, or Gollum. Tinners Trail

Tinners Trail so you've got the clay you've got the pine

50 smaller clay though is is plastic

building when it's plastic that makes clay so

what was he was not tennis

because I didn't think oh well there is a clay

between tennis travelled glass road I

knew I've never played any of those games.

So glass road has a little counter you move around the wheel. Tinners trail doesn't, brass Birmingham deluxe edition comes with iron clays and Gollum has actual clay resource little components

to go well to go on.

Question seven if you include the expansion, how many Lords of Waterdeep are there?

is random stab in the dark 22, 24 This is 1711

17. There are 11 in the base game and six in the expansion

just felt right 28 And why?

How many games in the BGG top 100 have a BGG credited designer called Nick Nicky Nicola or Nicolas

38 22 38

2

determine we're not going to have points nothing is going

to be one and I took it because everyone was so wildly off so yes anyone want to name the yes everyone anyone want to name the two designers

Nicolau So who did

Mansions of Madness so that you all like mansions of madness so much Nikki Valens and the other one which I didn't think you'd get is Nick Little who did Aeons End. Go on then name a single board game in the top 100 with snow in the title. Snowdonia Yeah,

yes. Snowpiercer

no snow fun. No.

1000 games. Yeah, so

you've got a few acres of snow Snowdonia or snow tails? Yeah. What?

1000 games? Yeah, no, but there is a snow fun. I bet you know.

One, there is one at about 1015 or something.

Probably more, but there's a lot more frost in the title. Yeah, there's

probably a few. There's quite a few with snow. Like in the tagline and stuff that happened not actually in the title itself. Right. Finally, if someone was to buy all the coal cubes from the market starts on the board and brass birmingham how much would he pay?

I think I've written 64 But I think it's too many 4450 something 36

55, two sevens, two sixes, two fives two fours two threes. Two twos and a one. What if we're a little bit out by 1 million? Yeah, yeah, no. Okay.

Oh, just asking you if we're gonna ask you don't get worked out. Look, I've got the exact right I did my maths wrong.

Because you did you did tonight?

Does he get a point for his work? No.

Kings to be honest for those bullshit questions. I'm happy before I turn people off that reminder.

Beautifully thought well put together Bucha terrible terrible. I

like the puns more after say Yeah, very good.

This started off easy and then I just made them impossible.

I didn't really well for the first half and the second half. Yeah,

because the second half was after Yeah, it was first off was easy.

Oh, it's time for round three with me. How's it going everybody? How we doing so far? Not great.

How's bowling ball boys?

We're not doing great are we T? No, no, no, it's no this is very, very, very bare. Yeah, on the ball balls. It's a cold. Cold now just really small.

I think it was smooth sailing, if

you would imagine. Yeah, sadly, it's not. No, it's very long. So what have I been playing over the last X amount of time, I've not been playing a lot, unfortunately, December for me, it's a really, really, really busy month. So, for me, I've been trying to cram in as much Board Game Arena as I physically can. So that is games of Anachrony, tapestry. yahtzee, even anything I can get my little fingers on while I'm travelling around as it's been a

I like it. I think if I could only play games I already know though I don't think I'd like to learn.

Yes, same. I've tried learning a few on BGA. And luckily I've played it like real times. I've had someone teach it along with me over discord. But I think if I was playing kind of turn base over a course of a few days, and I tried to get my head around it, I'd struggle. But I think the user interface for the website is really, really friendly. But even if you know the game, sometimes it takes one game, maybe two games just to

It's just it's just like the UI, isn't it of where's that set of icons? And then are there over there or not? Where I normally would see them on the board and mix the board positions are things

along? Yeah. Oh, no, it was very condensed. Yeah, a lot of information. scorings

right over is very different. They have to make it so the score is up to 100. And beyond 100, you get 200 triggers end game. But if you start flipping minus 15 is at minus 14. Which is odd, but I understand why they've done it. I mean, it makes sense. And we don't want to keep keep checking

What's that about?

It's about worker placement, Jayples, how it works 10 questions and in each question, I will be because I'm a thespian I'll be acting out a person's day on the job of a board game. And it is your task to find out what that board game is. Okay, so there'll be 10 of them. I will not repeat any of it. So you have to catch it on the first go.

We know you're acting out Yeah. Are you going to be talking or are you going to be miming?

I will be talking to go for so for the listeners. Yes.

I'll be talking you go for a listen very carefully.

Says ons advance I said only once. accents that I might or might not put on? Maybe a clue. Maybe a red herring. Okay. So are you ready? Let's do it. Here we go. Question number one. Today was a tough day. The weather's been horrendous this year in Dow which means this year's yield has been terrible. Good job. We had our Phonologists on hand so that it wasn't a complete waste for this year's fair. I did hear that. Karolina does enjoy a tipple from our region though. Question

I can name

Theyre all boardgame names, board game names.

Brain

pull the name question number three. Smashed this match so many tiles work today. Don't worry. I'm gonna get real early and be first at the factory tomorrow morning. I really do need some of those blue ones. This is the quietest everyone is being between rounds.

Yeah. I'm just worried about the peaks on the mic mate, you might get that.

Clipping, clipping or throw question number four. They love Joey. I've worked for you for two years. I'm not calling a CEO. Listen, I'm happy to be at the beach for a day or two. But I'd much rather be flipping out there. You know, now you're

Not too much May I just quickly say I've played the new X Men on Marvel champions nice the new evolution campaign. So I play cables really good fun, a bit different, you can now get the side schemes that you put into play that handy so they're helpful. So if you clear the threat off them, you get a plus one four plus one attack on these things. Makes it a little bit more fun. And I've just also got that pool just right. Which brings us nice already. Yeah, brings the pool aspect of the

bits to play the banks. It's not it's not something that's been on my radar but I probably should give it a go because it does look quite nice and

stay on that rabbit hole. Yeah, don't start once you go down in pinky in mate you're sucked in, play somebody else's

Yeah, yes. Nice. Nice. Yeah, so

that's, I just mentioned that if

you played any of the X Men Yeah, I

played lots of them. Yeah, I've played clauses my favourite He's awesome. He comes in toughening tougher and tougher twi gets double tough. Yeah, he's just not Sybil tough. Yeah. A

whole different level above tough Yeah.

I've got all the man paid for he was cool. He was up all the time. Yeah, so I look forward to that.

Nice nice sorry. Yeah, get back to the questions. Question number six That evil lord Vesh will not win I've managed to save not one not two but three or shacks but while I while I wait am I catch a few rats while they're here? They do help the seasickness you know? Question number seven. I don't feel so good. And they said I can catch my breath in the cabins like a burning sensation in my stomach and I'm the wriggling I need help. I need some help. I must get to the surgery now. Giggling girl

wrinkling inside

something's burning.

Question number eight. Oh, I question number eight. Over the next four and a half years I've successfully managed to keep our flax farm going strong. Not like that neighbour Nigel over there. I mean, if you didn't focus so much on drying out the peat bogs and more on his fleets of vehicles into town. He'd likely be more successful than me. I'm lucky but he's the only one around though and it's possible to get any other competition coming around this way.

scallywag is one of them. Which one? I don't I'm looking

forward to your answers. Question number nine I thought this was gonna be fine. The book said one more ingredient just one I don't know if it's gonna be a cherry bomb in there next.

You really putting in 100% I

don't do things by halves Jayples, you should know this by now! Question number 10 Hey, Simon. Come on. Look at this. It's beautiful. Wow. What a view. We finally made it. The messa verde. Pass me the camera. si I'm gonna take a bunch of photos to capture the moment. It's definitely been the year of

silence afterwards. Wow. Wow.

I don't know. I don't get it. Oh, I'm

just gonna pull that. Yeah. I thought the

games Oh, no, no,

it's just work. Again, yeah, I

didn't even make that connection. So that's

it From my no yeah okay question number one today was a tough day the weather has been horrendous down. Vinhos. Vinhos is correct, type of weather machines, correct? Yes. It's a tough day because that weather tile was a pain in the ass. Yeah been there. It

was the fair. Yes. Hit me off.

I was like not much culture. No, the other one. That's why I put that as mentioned Karolina, I did which is Si Si Si Yes, the wine fair.

But this one's actually this

Vinhos. Question two you wouldn't believe the Council on the road today? Excellent. I

did say Hamlet, but No,

you'd be wrong.

Ora et labora?

Ora et laboral No, you be wrong.

Red Cathedral?

Red cathedral. You'd been wrong. What else? Actually, you were thinking much more more specific. Broader Carcassone. road to nowhere one more block in an eighth one more than ninth for the cloister to score. Question three,

building the cathedral literally up I see

no question three smashed, I smashed so many titles and work today at Azul is the right, Azul. Question number for. Sorry, Joey's been working there for two years but he won't call his boss the CEO. What does he work? He works at Food Chain magnate he does. Jayples's favourite.

I love it for SoLoMo

I wanna do Dans questions, bloody Adrian

Well, you got more of Adrians than I got, so it's probably still gonna work out

five. Living in Dudley,

brass Birmingham

brass Birmingham question number six come on this one's easy evil Lord Vesh will not win

Lords of waterdeep

I put Isle of Cats

Isle of cats is correct. It's actually yes it is. Lord Vash is the evil villain in Isle of Cats.

It was the thing that got played it it was on the ship cats on the ship and that's the only seasickness yeah and I was like, what's the only game I can think of is gonna be that I never played it

me violently heavy breathing was question seven. I don't feel so good. Nemesis.

Nemesis yeah Nemisis cabin cabin.

The cabin is one of the titles that

cabin is a surgery

to tiles cabin and surgery. Question eight over the next four and a half years I've managed to successfully manage my flax farm this was a tricky one fields of our fields of art anywhere else

I put Feasts for Odin but it's not I bet it's probably gonna be Agricola it is

just know that it is indeed Fields of Arle because it's impossible to get any other competition games at the base level

but I nearly went Hallertau because that has flax in it yesterday and then I was like, nice. Yeah, okay. Although not like that one either.

Question Nine if you don't get this then you're crazy number nine. You just got covered in gunk Quacks of Quedlinburg. And finally, question 10 Simon taken a lovely look at this view.

But tapestry you'd be wrong.

You're very very good at mine. Jayples. Parks is indeed correct. It's really it isn't a parks. messa Verde is one of the it's one of the mountain ranges that you visit in parks. This concludes my round of the quiz. We

did well they well. How did we do meet your staff?

We seem to be going with the theme of 2 every round. I got 659999

rigged I think what he's doing I didn't know he's gonna go a thespian for 10 questions. I've been messaging each

other all day sent him the answers. I just saw it on the phone. Oh, yeah.

Get one wrong. They say thank you. I hope you enjoyed that. A lot of energy, high energy for Christmas. You got it. You got it. Who's next? Me? Let's do it. Last round. There we go. So it's the fourth and final round. And before I go into my questions, I'm going to talk about my digital game I've been playing so I've had a little package arrive and it wasn't from Santa is another Kickstarter. So this was The Gig

you get only fans and that is the only fans or anything else any fans

checking. Yeah. And you can kind of get the the fans cards in and as little endgame scoring bonuses and all that kind of stuff. But it's just a quick fun game. So it's

you have me at the gig.

It's good laugh. It's, you know, it's not going to be I want to get bigger. It's not gonna be the best in the world, but it's a good opener. So if you're gonna play like a heavy game on the night, it's nice one to bring out the star and just warm everyone up and then God move on to the heavier game. So enjoyed it. Love it. Are we ready for some questions?

We ready? Quizlet

was womanism y'all go 12012 That's exactly what you do. Yeah. Once you freak out for all that's Oh, no, you do? You do properly. And then if you want you just put jazz music in the

He doesn't like jazz music. No, it's horrible. It's discordant.

Depending on the type of jazz.

What do you call it when you'd like make it up on the sly freeform and whatever it is when you make it up and do jazz clubs when you just read it together? Sounds like

interested? Not interested?

But yeah, not for me. Anyway. Ready?

He's waiting to go.

Ready? Question one. As you all know, I like too many bones I'm not I'm not like given the same energy as Dan's I'm really like annoyed that have followed him or should have put you at the end. Sorry.

I don't think too many bones how many chips comes in the night? No, no,

no. does not follow in you know,

like a multiple choice at least for those kind of ones.

Yeah, all right. I'm gonna mix in so as you know, like too many bones. No, yeah. I just want you to name one of the five gearlocs that came in the unbreakable content, which is the latest series of expansion, the latest latest ones and there's five and anyone who's listened to the podcast episode four would know them. And I've talked about them enough. So latest ones, the latest ones.

I've played as one

you have played as one Rob do and just want one of them not Asking for all five I've put a put a wrong answer this one I'm sure it's comical question too

in too many bones

it's too many. Let's go kid in question two we all love well I do love a bit of netrunner. I'm out and I want you to name two out of the four corporations where you got this well I just don't know

it a go go like so display for naming all four

no. Please just get smug points

I thought about this the other day

Yeah, it was it late at night

that's such madness. Man me

thinking about heavy breathing because that's something inside me.

Back off Adrian

I've written mine I put cybertwat and digital Dickhead. So

Ah Hi, that deserves a point, how did you know, did you look at my answers. Question three. In Dune Imperium

Good man.

Have you two been, you know,

Dune Imperium, we obviously have the coloured spaces. We have the yellow triangles, the green circles, I think and then the blue squares. What are the green spaces at the top of the board? collectively known as? It's not an I'll give you a hint. Is this something Council? knows you hidden?

How close does it contain the same letters as

how I put ink to paper?

Yeah. Okay, number four. In cloudspire. Go. There's a game of tower defence and there are many factions. And they're all fighting over a resource. What is that resource called? Gotta go gonna really difficult because you want to know it's

a valuable commodity?

What do you mean, you could have gone really difficult on that one so far? I don't know any of them.

I'm just saying. I don't think I've got

this one at all. Yeah, later, once and I hated it. Yeah, absolutely.

Used to give you hate again. No, it's nothing. It's not many.

I saw the advantages to cloudspire but it's just not a game for me.

Alright, question five. Name the brand new mindclash play title, recently announced a week ago. Literally something like that. It's shot up the hotness on Board Game Geek. And you should know because I posted it in our WhatsApp chat group. So near the one that I don't really Yeah.

So it was mindclash. So mute board game

now, isn't it? Topical? Sure. You should have done last time you brought the energy up. Sorry. I'm sorry. My fault. Bad planning. Well, that was question five. So take a little break. Rob. Hello, partner in crime. Hello. What's your hex mate? Can

I go with two? I know my breaking. Very, very, really told off for trying to do that. Yes, but I'm not gonna go in depth because the games that have been covered quite a lot on the podcast. So at grid con, I played Big Boy game. Big Boy. And I played Ark Nova. I'm so fucking proud of you. And I absolutely loved it. Yeah, I thought it was fantastic. I absolutely loved it. It was with the expansion. Obviously, the Kerley's brought their game. And, and yeah, and it was

It was our first play of Armada right? right yeah which none of us have played and that was a good fun that's a nice nice little dynamic that you guys went all in on yeah it was no it wasn't it oh ship tracks let's do a bit of shipping but it was great yeah allows you to kind of combat not your neighbours but your neighbours neighbours and things like that sneak into in your little bugger. I know I apologise All right, let's get back to torturing Adrian right

right these are other five games Adrian also hasn't played ever

Lorenzo il magnifico played one is known for its four towers on the board which are green blue, yellow and purple. And I'll be I'll make this a bit easier name at least one of these towers by its official name I've never played it

Isengard I'm guessing that's not

due till we get anything for that

just give it give it a go and I'll say Oh, nice I feel good. Number seven in Nemesis named the alien species which multiplies by devouring other members of its species and gets worse and worse and worse as you let them

scale one expansion I haven't played yet. I know what I think yeah, I

think I know why does it take ah funny because I've written that

number right. In Burncycle you plays robots infiltrating corporations try not to get detected but as an optional upgrade you can get magnetic miniatures which go on the chips which theyre also bring out for too many bones very excited. What do chip theory games call these miniatures what is their name?

They have wow

yeah baby only for Burncycle or a name in general for

the name for the for that they're calling for Burnside bought and shipped to me the other name the

first thing I looked at when I got the game from Gridcon might have bought too many bones didn't say you're gonna be difficult though.

I'm gonna Watson two's guide around you

let somebody get like I feel one off. I'll let you have a point. Yeah.

So it was one of which is weird anything that would actually happen. Right write in Anachrony. All right. There are five player factions. Which base the five colours? Which colour? Is the path of salvation?

Salvation

if you want to know the colours of choice no,

no

he's angry he's given up now. Okay,

I'm not gonna get it so might as well on the others not

they already know it though.

Wow. I'm not sure the last one

in too many bones, in 20 strong.

I was like it is it's very strong.

In Vinhos by Vital Lacerda. There are two versions of the

just gets you think like no one think I know as well. But I'm both just in case.

Can you put down both and then get a question get one mining

one get one right? Yeah, you're good. You can have two guesses if you like. Because there's two years to guess.

Well, I've got one in probably what 200 years probably. Yeah,

so Ken's when you think it is? Yours weren't as easy as well, Kerley?

Yep, I'm allowed to if it's me. Okay, fair enough.

It's more easy than yours by a longshot.

I don't know. Did I do the just round?

You did do these round. Yeah. But it was fun.

I'm the newbie by it. Well done.

Last episode. No, I did.

Name one of the five gear locks. Introducing unbreakable. Dave

The only one I can think of is Riffle

but I feel as well but he's a

bouncer technically. I don't know why that came to my head. I'm

sure it's one of the five he's a puzzle related performance. Gain

found but he's not in the box. So I was like I'll put Riffle, and it'd be wrong.

No, not at all. No, not a scooby? I can't remember. You could have Figment, Gale, static, Polaris or Carcass. You played as Gale, Rob. Well, you've literally played as one you've got no,

I remember you telling me about Figment now Yeah,

time travel baby. Name two of the four corps in Netrunner. jinteki Yeah.

And that's the only one. I said our soccer but that's just because it's from soccer.

Yeah, we have Haas-bioroid, NBN and Wayland yeah I wrote

KC and the Sunshine Band. That's

not right. And you we already got your answer. Yeah, cybertwat and digital dickhead

One point for Jintekki and

your point when you're on my team is really easy for us. But it will be poopooed on it so let's say no. All right. Number three Dune Imperum the green spaces are called

I went for high council but I wasn't confident I changed it twice.

I went for the green spaces Council. I thought that was the

Galactic Council that the green spaces Council the High Council aged

political politics slash Imperial

it's the Landsraad Council.

That was my second guest

Okay, well, you played it enough before you might know that Green space that gets me stuff. Fair enough. Fair enough.

The yellow and blue don't have space names do they? Because it's just like

on their own on Yeah, but the big Council does totally fair. I

play a lot of spice wards and you do a Landsraad vote every few months I should have got it, seems just just

planning to play that Okay, right. Now the main resource and cloudspire while everyone's fighting over obviously and obtaining so its Source. Source source not tomato probably as in like the source of something okay. Name the new mindclash play title shot the hotness I

know first bit was right I in cloud I put this not as its own something in it. You're

very close Yeah, is it what is it? Anyone else? And I even close?Ironwood

Ironwood was close down it to get off points.

I've got

to answer What's your answer that was that was a sympathy point. You've won this because of that. 9 pointer The last one Yeah.

Yeah. Well, yeah, that did seem good to

Lorenzo il magnifico name at least one of the four Towers

agriculture for the green one

do our tips McGee

No. Tower swallows No. I really

think about maybe motion or something. I was

I couldn't even remember what the towers did. That's how long it isn't.

I don't I'm not I'm not worried.

You could have had green which is territories. You could have a blue which is characters. Okay. Buildings were yellow buildings and Ventures were purple. Okay, so lost on you. Over your apologies. Alright Nemesis name the alien species which multiplies by devouring other members I think

of it at the end. Because you are

Carnomorphs, is it carnival carnival I wrote terrible by men. carnivores.

You got one you've wrote? Yeah,

I couldn't vote.

Yeah. All right. Men territories when I read because it's

on the tip of my tongue and it was something morphs.

Yeah. Right. Question eight In burncycle you play as robots robots blah, blah, blah, blah. You can get the minis that magnetise.

Magmachs, but I use my imagination. magmechs

Brass mags,

all I knew is mag something brass mags.

Oh, all made out of brass the metal.

He's doing the tough questions again. Yeah.

You complained of mine.

I thought those are generally easier. But yeah, if you just love chip Theory, well, you know, these new things haven't come out yet. It's for the listeners. Listening by this point, In Anachrony What colour is the path of salvation

or orange? Red, white,

green, red, orange,

Red.

I was one

isn't an orange one. Anyway,

the reason is orange and it's a dark

blue and green before you either got red, blue, green, yellow. It's

not really red though. It's kind of an orange. Alright, whatever I'm taking

an ironclad

must be fairly generous. Right. Last question. What are the, name one of the two years that are on the one side or

1848 Obviously,

wrong

2011 Wrong 2017

Wrong bugger not 1993 no 2016 and 2020 Adrian gets it right for one of them 2016 is right and 1983 The answer is 2010 Vintage in 2016 reserve

to 2010

2010 is the original rules consistent consistent and there we have it for let's do a little adding up and then we'll come back and see what's happened.

Oh, I'm gonna use my fingers and my toes

Well, I want to go round each team starting with you Dan the baldbles the ball balls let me see

we had a good we had a good run then. We love it. Yeah. But we finished on eight points. Eight

points out of 40. Yeah. We

last round that last round right before that last round happened. I thought I knew quite a lot about boardgames turns out. I know fuck. All.

Right. Just all about the board games that other people have no idea.

Yeah, no, I did. You didn't know the stuff about board games that you've played? No, no,

I don't know anything. I'll just say I'm just here for the giggles

gone and Kerleyklaus. scored 15 15 Nice probably. And the the Christmas spirit Island 16. What did we get Rob.

I severely let the side down. I scored one point. Always. Yeah. We still got 14

I was trying to do the math in my head.

So we have the winner. That's good. That was good.

Well done. Well done.

Take the crown of the Quizmas this year. So well, you and Davey who went last year? me obviously. Yeah, so the crown. Oh, nice. Is there a physical crown if we run this again, I thought Oh, shit. So we're quite glad that actually you guys got it. It's quite close apart from dan's team on it. Yeah,

we did. We did good. Yeah, that's it's taking part that counts.
