Ryan Creighton
Hi, it’s Ryan from Nights Around a Table, and you thought i was kidding when i told you that it was going to be all Uwe Rosenberg on the channel all the time. And i wasn’t, because we’ve got a game that we’re going to unbox today. Who is this friendly fellow you ask? Well, this is not Uwe Rosenberg, in case you know what that guy looks like. This is my dear and good friend, Michael Todd, who is a game designer extraordinaire. And if you know anything that Michael Todd did, he’s responsible for a couple games called Electronic Super Joy 1 and 2. If you’re big – these are video games – so if you’re on Steam and you’re big into hardcore twitch fast-paced platformers, like Celeste or Super Meatboy, that’s what ESG 2 is all about. And if you’re watching this video on YouTube, i guess i’ll throw a link down in the in the description below and you can follow that link to Steam to check out Electronic Super Joy! Hey, and if you see him on the Discord server – there’s the Discord link at the bottom of the screen- he goes by @thegamedesigner. So he pops in every once in a while. So if you see him, say hi. That’s what Michael Todd is all about. Michael Todd’s over… he hasn’t realised… because it’s my birthday. And so w’re gonna play a game togeth… i know, i just sprung that one on you.

Michael Todd
Is it really?

Ryan Creighton
It is! Today is my birthday.

Michael Todd
HOLY…

Ryan Creighton
You’re gonna be seeing this a few days after my birthday because i don’t want to be editing and uploading a video on my birthday. So it’s gonna be… so if you haven’t wished me a birthday… happy birthday today, and you’re seeing this video, you’re like, “Oh, I should get on that,” you’ve missed it! That’s IT! You’re DEAD to me! No, not really. Alright, so i like to have friends and family on… on the channel whenever we’re talking about games that they’re very, very interested in. And Michael Todd, you like Uwe Rosenberg?

Michael Todd
I do. I’m a big Agricola fan? Mostly.

Ryan Creighton
Yeah.

Michael Todd
But I’ve played a lot of his other stuff, specifically, his puzzle gardening stuff, and Caverna and A Feast for Odin. I’ve played a lot of Feast for Odin.

Ryan Creighton
And if you watch the channel, you’d notice that we just recently put out How to Play Agricola and How to Play A Feast for Odin, and we unboxed the Feast for Odin: The Norwegians expansion, and today we’re gonna unbox Caverna: The Forgotten Folk, which is the expansion to Caverna, which is the follow up to Agricola! It’s a whole thing.

Michael Todd
I’ve never played this. This is pretty interesting.

Ryan Creighton
No. So what’s funny about this… Tell me bef… without looking at the back of the box. That’s cheating! We don’t do that in unboxings. We don’t learn about games ahead of time. Tell me what you know about Caverna: The Forgotten Folk.

Michael Todd
I know almost nothing. I know Caverna was about dwarves.

Ryan Creighton
Yes.

Michael Todd
It was vaguely Lord of the Rings-esque sort of thing, which – most of his games, if you know Uwe Rosenberg, are not fantasy at all. They’re they’re historical. So, yeah. No…

Ryan Creighton
Like, Le Havre was about a harbour.

Michael Todd
Yeah, very, very mundane. He’s like, “Hey,” you know, “would you like to play a game but moving pebbles from this part of the path to this part of the path?” And that’s basically a real game.

Ryan Creighton
So to find out about this game, why don’t we consult the back of the box? Oh, God. There… there are no pictures of this game on the back of the box. So this is… it’s kind of like an insider thing, right? If you’ve never heard of Uwe Rosenberg before – hopefully, you’re not completely lost – but he designed a bunch of games. He designed this one. And if you wanted to pick this one up, it’s got no pictures. So what would you do? You’d go to, like, Board Game Geek or something and look up…? Like, that’s ridiculous. i was going to do a whole video… because i’ve been through the board game store a bunch of times… and i was going to do a video where… sometimes i pick up these games, and not only are there no pictures on the back of the box, the back of the box is white. Like they haven’t paid to print anything on the back, and I’m like, how are you supposed to…? Why would anybody buy this product? And there are interesting different reasons that they did that. This one, i have no idea, because these games… Lookout Games is the publisher, and they kind of

Michael Todd
Well, he’s really pushing the fantasy.

Ryan Creighton
True…

Michael Todd
The back of this box is, for someone who does historical games, he is screaming “This is fantasy!” Look there’s a guy with crystals growing out of his head, there’s a troll. Maybe that’s the message he wanted to get across? But it’s a pain in the ass as a… as a consumer. I don’t know what I’m buying.

Ryan Creighton
Exactly. So – you know – and i wonder if that is… if that affected sales? i wonder if not many people picked this up because it’s too much of a big risk? Like, i don’t…. pfft. i don’t know.

Michael Todd
Yeah. They, uh… they should have come and watched your video.

Ryan Creighton
Well, here we go. So we’re gonna find out what’s in there. You’re the guest so i’m going to give you the knife, and uh… dunh da dun! Shing!

Michael Todd
So, uh… is there… do I just sort of stab it…

Ryan Creighton
Yes, that’s basically it. You go right through the box. You just… yeah. Just… yehneh… in the… in the thing.

Michael Todd
Oh, I see.

Ryan Creighton
Yes, yes. There IS a technique to it, folks.

Michael Todd
That’s what I wanted.

Ryan Creighton
So Michael Todd and i are not able to socially distance today, but we ARE wearing masks, as you can see.

Michael Todd
Stay safe, folks.

Ryan Creighton
Mm hmm! Just to be good role models, i guess. It’s so funny, too. i wanted to look good today. i trimmed my beard! And then i get on camera, and i’m like “Wait a second…”

Michael Todd
I guess I probably don’t need to do all four sides?

Ryan Creighton
No! There you go. Crack it open. Now Michael Todd, we must listen. We must listen very closely. You can do the honours, but shhhh. Everybody shh! Here we go. Oh. Box Fart-O -Meter: That’s a zero. A big goose egg. Nothing. But what do we find when we lift the lid? i feel like we’re… it’s like we’re opening Tut’s tomb or something. Nobody knows what’s in here! What do we got?

Michael Todd
So we’ve got some extra bags cuz Uwe Rosenbergs generally have that… give you the extra bits.

Ryan Creighton
Lots of bags needed…

Michael Todd
Big rulebook.

Ryan Creighton
i do a page count on the rulebook. We’re not gonna read the whole thing.

Michael Todd
Twelve pages. Not bad.

Ryan Creighton
Not a lot of pictures though, eh?

Michael Todd
Not many pictures, no.

Ryan Creighton
Yeah. That’s a lot of… that’s heavy text.

Michael Todd
Okay. So if you like cardboard pieces, Uwe Rosenberg games…

Ryan Creighton
And I do!

Michael Todd
… for you. Yeah. But yeah – we’ve got… it’s all bound together here by this, and we’ve got eight…

Ryan Creighton
(anxiety-induced tummy grumble)

Michael Todd
Eight big cardboard pages, and they have quite varying pieces. It… none of this – you know – a million circles.

Ryan Creighton
It’s not standard at all.

Michael Todd
Yeah, this must have cost a mint to print!

Ryan Creighton
Tell us why?

Michael Todd
Well, because standardisation is… is the thing. If you can… if you can use the same… what are called…?

Ryan Creighton
Die.

Michael Todd
Die.

Ryan Creighton
Yeah.

Michael Todd
The same die to cut out each, one it’s much cheaper. So this one is each different one has a different metal die that’s being pushed into it. Like, these are mushroom-shaped, so…

Ryan Creighton
Oh wait, well this… oh no! It IS different! Yeah, so the top part’s the same. Have you ever seen a die, Michael Todd?

Michael Todd
Yes, I have. In videos.

Ryan Creighton
Isn’t it cool?

Michael Todd
It IS cool!

Ryan Creighton
Yeah, my… my father-in-law works at a box… a cardboard box factory, and i got to tour it one day, and they have the whole die department, where they just have big dies on racks, and it’s really cool to see! They’re all made of, like, metal knives and rubber bits and stuff. So… weh. We’ve made a huge mess here, but… looks like this would be, like… you’re playing an elf, right? I guess you’re picking…

Michael Todd
Yeah, this is some character profile stuff.

Ryan Creighton
Yeah, so we’ll put it on the close up cam. Of course, it’s going to knock the blue out, but wow… okay. “On… on unused forest spaces….” So the game… we should just mention briefly what the… what the game… what the heck the game is. Caverna: you’re… you’re a dwarf. Maybe not any more?

Michael Todd
So it’s… it’s an item placement game. If you’ve played Feast for Odin or Agricola, you’re in the general ballpark.

Ryan Creighton
Mm-hmm!

Michael Todd
You have workers, who need to, um… who… you want to get more powerful, you want to have more workers… but also, they need to get food and resources and items, and they need to get all the generic stuff you would in any crafting game. Um… so… that reminds me of Root, honestly, because they have two big rules… like, for them, as a thing, and I imagine the other characters don’t have the same rules?

Ryan Creighton
“You start the game with two gemfruits”…? Like, right off the bat… What the heck is a gemfruit? i don’t even know! Okay. Let’s see if we can find them.

Michael Todd
Here’s the Pale Ones.

Ryan Creighton
Okay, that’s interesting…

Michael Todd
Emo… emo miners.

Ryan Creighton
Emo miners! “The pa…” Oh, they ARE called “the Pale Ones.”

Michael Todd
Well, not when they’re under THAT filter. God.

Ryan Creighton
Drift… These are two worker placement spaces it’s describing i recognise from the base game. This means “gold,” which is essentially points, but the mushrooms are a new thing.

Michael Todd
Flip that over? Yeah, that’s the comparison. So you could have two rules, again.

Ryan Creighton
Oh, i see.

Michael Todd
Endless tunnels and disinterest in nature. And then the other ones were joy of sunlight and something-something.

Ryan Creighton
Oh, so they got an… like an advantage and a disadvantage, it looks like.

Michael Todd
Yeah…

Ryan Creighton
Right? So does the elf have a disadvantage as well?

Michael Todd
Lovers of sunlight and woodland habitat. I think it’s interesting because it’s a sum-up. It’s a two… two trait sum-up. Um… Root, which I know you don’t like, but I’ve been playing a lot of, has this same thing. Every… every team has two rules. Sometimes they’re both good and the team sucks otherwise, or they’re both bad, and the team’s very powerful otherwise.

Ryan Creighton
“Each time you furnish a cavern, you get a discount of one stone if possible. You need not pay stone for stables.” Yeah, so they all have their perks and their pros and cons…

Michael Todd
Yeah.

Ryan Creighton
Pros and Cons, pluses and minuses. Now, there’s new resources, it looks like. You know what? You know what’s weird? So… any guesses what the the most-viewed video on my channel is?

Michael Todd
The nip slip.

Ryan Creighton
It’s the… it WAS the nip slip. But we’ve had to take that down because of community guidelines. But it’s the Catan video. How to Play Catan.

Michael Todd
Yeah, okay.

Ryan Creighton
And it’s funny: nobody else bugs me about it, except for people on the Catan video. Maybe because it’s viewed by more people, or maybe even people who are interested in Catan are jerks? i don’t know. But we in southern Ontario, where we’re based… say the R-E-S-O-U-R-C-E-S word.

Michael Todd
This is gonna come back to Agricola, isn’t it?

Ryan Creighton
Say it.

Michael Todd
Uh… Cat…

Ryan Creighton
No. R-E-S-O-U-R-C-E-S. Say that word.

Michael Todd
R-E-S… Sorry. You’re spelling it too quickly.

Ryan Creighton
R-E-S-O-U-R-C-E-S.

Michael Todd
Reezorss.

Ryan Creighton
REEzorss! We say “REEzorss!” Americans don’t say REEzorss.

Michael Todd
What do they say?

Ryan Creighton
They see “reSOURCE.” They S… they hard-S it. They say “reSOURCE.”

Michael Todd
Oh man, this is a…

Ryan Creighton
In’t that crazy?

Michael Todd
…. a CARibbean/CarIBBean sort of thing.

Ryan Creighton
Yes and no. Like i… wow! We had that overhead camera on the entire time. i did not know that, until people on the Catan video started pointing it out to me! And they’re kind of rude about it, to be honest. They’re like, “Uh, guys, it’s not ‘reeeezorss’ with a zed.” And yes, we say “zed,” not “zee.” D-d-d-DEAL with it. So y… i don’t know. So re… anyway, what I’m trying to say is there are new REEzorsses in the game. And they are, it looks like…

Michael Todd
RuzORCEs…

Ryan Creighton
…looks like… reSOURCEs. i know! It’s weird to say it the other way! You know what’s funny? i started… then i started trying to say “reSOURCES” in other videos, and then it would come out weird, because i was unconfident. i’d be like “And russa-HORSES…” Ugh. Anyway…

Michael Todd
Just Swedish Chef it up. Say it the Canadian way, and then go “Poutine! Moose! Bork bork bork!”

Ryan Creighton
Yeah, that’s it. Over here on the close up cam, here are two of the… now, they’re not just diamonds. They look like diamond berries, because they’ve got little stems on them. That’s funny.

Michael Todd
Those are probably the… the elf thing, right?

Ryan Creighton
They could… be gem berries. Gem berries.

Michael Todd
Gemfruits!

Ryan Creighton
Gemfruits.

Michael Todd
Yeah!

Ryan Creighton
And then there’s a thing that has mushrooms… where’d the mushrooms go? Oh, yeah. Here’s some mushrooms. So mushrooms look like they are their own reeeeeeZORSS in the game.

Yeah, there’s definitely some printed on every sheet. You can…you can tell they’ve crammed the small things in the gaps between the large things on the… on the sheet. So you’ve got just little pieces of what we assume are gemfruits and mushrooms and so on. But they’re in slightly different places as the… sheets are laid out.

You get new buildings. So there’s a variety of different buildings. That’s one of the big differences between Caverna and Agricola: in Agricola, all the special things are in cards, and in Caverna, they’re all on tiles that go on a common board, which makes it a bit of a pain to set up, right? Like, it kind of stinks.

Michael Todd
All of his games are somewheat heavy for that. I have a stripped down Agricola set where it’s just got the pieces for two player, and they’re in little bags, and that… and even that is still…

Ryan Creighton
It’s a lot. It’s a lot.

Michael Todd
300 games in, and I’m still taking forever to set it up.

Ryan Creighton
Goblins! Uh-oh. This is a new thing… “a new thing.” i don’t know if it’s a new thing, but it’s something that i caught up… cottoned on to in recent years. How people are complaining about racism in Lord of the Rings. Have you ever heard that? Like, racism in fantasy? So… so the goblins are lazy. (laughs racistly ) And they’re clumsy.

Michael Todd
And they’re incompetent!

Ryan Creighton
And they are also incompetent! Yeah.

Michael Todd
But then the Lord of the Rings is not as bad racism-wise as the… the animal ones. The – you know – the Roots and the Redwall and the…

Ryan Creighton
Oh, Redwall.

Michael Todd
… one with the giant tree.

Ryan Creighton
Yeah.

Michael Todd
Cuz they’re like, “Oh, yeah, I know this. This animal’s good, and then those… those weasels… those….”

Ryan Creighton
Those badgers. Yeah, i mean… anyway. Poor badgers. We’ve ain’t got… we’ve got nothing against badgers on this cha if you’re a badger, or you identify as a badger, i don’t even know. What else? Okay. And then, look: there’s also… Oh, yeah. So this… here’s a thing on gemfruits. It says “At any time, pay one gemfruit for two frood… food. Pay one gemfruit for one ruby,” which means that it looks like they’re as valuable as rubies?

Michael Todd
It looks like gemfruits are wild cards.

Ryan Creighton
Oh, you can sow them. Oh, THAT’s what’s different than rubies. You can plant gemfruits and harvest them.

Michael Todd
So gem fruits can be turned into… Oh, I see. So this is… gemfruit was probably designed from this in mind. This is the food symbol from Agricola.

Yeah, let’s put it in there.

So gemfruits can be turned into food, but they can also be turned into what looks like a ruby? So if I was going to design something that can be turned into both food or a gemfruit, I would call it a “gem fruit.” So that’s that’s probably where that came from.

Ryan Creighton
Smart, smart.

Michael Todd
And there’s a ruby mine. So there’s definitely rubies as a resource.

Ryan Creighton
Yeah. Ruby mine, s… we got ruby mines in the base game, but they’ve given us extra ruby mines tiles, so you’ve seen those…

Michael Todd
So there’s none about… oh, it’s an expansion. Right. Okay. It’s like, “Where are the meeples?”

Ryan Creighton
Yeah, no. You’ve got all the meeples that you need. You know what i haven’t seen, though? What i was reflecting on was that in the redesign of Agricola, they’ve changed the workers from fat discs to little farmers, but they haven’t done that for Caverna. i was expecting to see little, maybe, wooden dwarves or something. But maybe it’s good that they didn’t do that because now, you’ve got all these different races that you can play. And they’re not all…

Michael Todd
Oh. Themed.

Ryan Creighton
Yeah, right? So maybe they knew they were doing that. So they’re like, “Oh, we better not put out meeples.”

Michael Todd
“Humans are claustrophobic.”

Ryan Creighton
Yeah…

Michael Todd
Oh, in comparison to dwarves. Right.

Ryan Creighton
Right!

Michael Todd
In a dwarf-based game, it would… dwarfs as the normal, humans ARE claustrophobic…

Humans ARE claustrophobic.

… because they’re not three foot high and okay with being buried under a mountain! Okay, fair enough.

Ryan Creighton
Yeah, it’s true. And then we’ll… we’ll put the… that’s accurate.

Michael Todd
Yeah, it’s – ha!

Ryan Creighton
…fantas… fantastically accurate. And then the Cave Goblins…

Michael Todd
Clumsy, incompetent, and… numerous.

Ryan Creighton
(laughing) Throwin’ shade at Cave Goblins. And they we’ll put ch… trolls in. It’s funny that not all of the the races…

Michael Todd
“Small brain.”

Ryan Creighton
(laughing)

Michael Todd
Big sack, though.

Ryan Creighton
Oh! Big sack?? Oh my God. Okay, i’m gonna get this video taken down if we put too much m… That’s like, half as bad as the nip slip. Okay, uh… (laughing) That’s fine. You know what’s funny, is that not all of the races… they don’t all seem like ones you’d WANT to play…?

Michael Todd
Yeah, no… the designers very clearly like writing a lot of negatives in…

Ryan Creighton
(laughing) But wait, there’s one more here.

Michael Todd
This is cool…

Ryan Creighton
There’s a couple more. Here:

Michael Todd
You know? Everyone’s deeply flawed, and then, so are the game characters!

Ryan Creighton
It’s honest. It’s honest. So we’ve got a couple more… oh, we’ll just pop a… i think the races are the most interesting thing to look at. So there’s two more…

Michael Todd
Yeah, no. i think so. Like, there’s… there’s interesting resources, but they’re basically variations on Caverna. You know, you live in a cave and now you grow mushrooms. Great.

Ryan Creighton
So there’s a different kind of dwarf: a Mountain Dwarf.

Michael Todd
Uh huh.

Ryan Creighton
“Twin tiles may overlap in the mountain.” That’s… “OverHANG.” That’s something you don’t usually get to do, but there’s a building in the base game that lets you overhang…

Michael Todd
So they… they can have a denser building inside their cave.

Ryan Creighton
Yeah. Oh, the Office Room is the building lets you do that. So it says if you get the Office Room, you’ve already got that effect.

Michael Todd
Oh, and it’s the reverse for the next one: “Disinterest in nature. Each time…” So… “When you’re supposed to place a twin tile, you may only place a single tile.” So they can place less tiles less… less accurately outside.

Ryan Creighton
Right. Interesting.

Michael Todd
Interesting.

Ryan Creighton
Mm-hmm!

Michael Todd
So in Caverna… so we’re… we’re not showing the Caverna main game here, but… there’s an indoor and an outdoor. That’s one of the big things. So they use that as a… so that’s what this uh…

Ryan Creighton
And there’s single tiles, and there’s double tiles.

Michael Todd
Yeah. It’s like, uh… I wouldn’t go as far as Tetris pieces, but it’s kind of…

Ryan Creighton
Mmm… yeah.

Michael Todd
… shapes that you put down on the grid.

Ryan Creighton
Yeah, and it’s funny to see themes run through all of Uwe Rosenberg game.

Michael Todd
He loves those Tetris… tetrominoes!

Ryan Creighton
He loves tetrominoes. He loves fitting puzzle pieces to grids. That’s all A Feast for Odin is.

Michael Todd
Yup.

Ryan Creighton
i… the way i explain A Feast for Odin to people is it’s like a jigsaw puzzle, the easiest jigsaw puzzle in the world, but working to get the pieces is difficult, right? That’s what you gotta do…

Michael Todd
Yeah. Very complicated mapping.

Ryan Creighton
And then over here, the Goblins. That’s an… i… that’s an interesting… i would never… if you saw a picture of that and you said “Name the fantasy race,” would you ever come up with “goblin”?

Michael Todd
No, you’re… you’re… they have a rule that…

Ryan Creighton
Oh, they’re Dark Elves. Oh my God. Oh, they’re not Goblins.

Michael Todd
Yeah, i get it. It starts with “Goblin.”

Ryan Creighton
Totally.

Michael Todd
Still, that’s a pretty weed-smokin’ Dark Elf!

Ryan Creighton
(laughing) Yeah! That Dark Elf is feeling no pain.

Michael Todd
I’ve got some dank dark weed!

Ryan Creighton
The Dank Elves! Hilarious. We didn’t go over all the little buildings, but i think… i think that’s good for…

Michael Todd
Most of these are repeats. They… they… so they… the buildings are different, but these are player… these are player aids.

Ryan Creighton
Yep.

Michael Todd
There’s a bunch of REEzorsses. It looks like some slightly more… Ruby mines are new. So that’s a new type of mine place.

Ryan Creighton
Let’s pop out a couple of… No, no, no! Ruby mines are from the base game.

Michael Todd
Are they?

Ryan Creighton
Yep, they’re in there.

Michael Todd
Oh. I haven’t played in forever.

Ryan Creighton
That’s how you get. Yeah. That’s how you get rubies.

Michael Todd
So there’s just extra tunnels, extra ruby mines, and extra fields.

Ryan Creighton
i played… i played Caverna a day ago. So it’s very fresh in my mind. And we’re gonna play today.

Michael Todd
Yes! Sounds good!

Ryan Creighton
So Bird Hide. What does that Bird Hide say? Can you… can you read that for me?

Michael Todd
Three… so three points.

Ryan Creighton
Oh. It’s a scoring tile. Right. The yellow ones are all scoring tiles. The Feeding Room…

Michael Todd
Different animals breed again up, to 2-4, breed… different animals breed…

Oooh! Pretty valuable…

…for breeding phase.

Ryan Creighton
The Hunters Hut: at the start of each harvest, for every third empty forest…

Michael Todd
Get an extra food. Oh, okay. So it uh….

Ryan Creighton
It’s a hunting game.

Yeah. You’re shootin’ rabbits.

“Elven…” As i mentioned in the A Feast for Odin video, Uwe Rosenberg games are not vegan friendly.

Michael Todd
They REALLY are not.

Ryan Creighton
He’s all about eatin’, shootin’ the animals… and I think he might be vegetarian, is the… is the punchline, because i think it mentions that in the A Feast for Odin rulebook. It says something about beans on Odin’s table and, like, you can have all the beans that you want. And he’s like big into beans. i dunno. Maybe he’s not a vegetarian. i might have invented that. The Elven Market: you pay 3 wood and 2 stone once per round. You get… you can pay 2 gold… gold’s hard to get… to get a pumpkin and a ruby. That’s… they’re… a lot of these buildings are, like, really specific strategies, you know? i haven’t really wrapped my head around ’em…

Michael Todd
That kind of makes sense for an expansion because they’ll have been playtesting it, you’ll have way more people who are playing it, and then highly specific play strategies.

Ryan Creighton
And then that one guy that one guy’s like “I wish I could pay two gold for a pumpkin and a… why isn’t that in the game, Rosenberg?”

Michael Todd
It’s a GLARING gap in the game…

Ryan Creighton
Yeah, “OBVIOUSLY, the…” Yeah, anyway. i… there are so few places to get gold in the base game that i’m surprised that there are even buildings that rely on it. And then we’ll just take a look at these three right here. So another scoring tile, the Mining Office: pay…per adjacent mine, immediately… Oh, so there’s one that’s like this for dwellings in the base game. This is for adjacent mines. You get extra extra ore. The Training Room: before each expedition with… with an armed person, you get… Oh, wow. You get a… you get an ore per weapon level on it. That’s the other thing that’s weird. It’s… there’s weapons. You can… you can arm your dwarves and it lets you basically get more stuff. So you go shopping from a list of things. And the way Cheryl and i put it, like you’ll go on a space that says 3, so I say, like “Okay, you got three wishes. So grab something from that list.” Yeah? And then the last thing… the Overseer’s Dwelling: is a room for one per… Oh, so it’s another dwelling, but what’s different about it? Oh, so you score extra rubies and ore depending on the number of mines that you have.

Michael Todd
So you want to slap it down the middle of your mines, taking up space.

Ryan Creighton
Mm-hmm! Well, are you… are you excited to dive in?

Michael Todd
Yes. I clearly haven’t played for too long. But I’m up for losing.

Ryan Creighton
It’s my birthday1 Usually my birthday game, by the way, is Trickerion, but i’m going to be playing Trickerion on Friday. And the reason why that’s my birthday game is because nobody will play it with me for the rest of they year, because they’re like “HOW many rules do i have to learn??” Like okay, it’s fine. It’s fine. i know a guy who has a video. (ding!) Right. So thank you so much for joining us! This has been Michael Todd. Hopefully, he’ll join us for another video down the road. We’re gonna go have some fun. Happy birthday to me. Thanks so much for watching this one.
