I was reading the rules and it seems that the only truly cooperative gameplay is with "The Challenge" scenario and in "Fellowship" mode. Have you tried this? Wondering how truly cooperative play feels.

Yes! For the summer. 😊☀️ Just finishing tomorrow’s video right now. We might need to take a break of a week or two. We’ve been working on some fall content for upcoming kickstarters that we can’t launch at present. What we did before was simply film twice a week and I’d edit two videos - one for immediate release and the other for the future. But our summer is too busy to produce two videos a week (with camping weekends taking up some filming time), which means it makes me a bit behind when I create a video that’s for the future. I’ll try to leave a post in the community space if we need to skip a week or two at any point this summer. It’s a challenge juggling content and family through these warmer months of greater activity. Thanks for watching! 😁

#Gample as a new term for "Meeple" Board game enthusiasts know the tiny wooden pawns as "meeple," a term coined by Alison Hansel in 2000. But with trademark issues surrounding "meeple" I propose "Gample" combining #Game and #People, as a new universal term for any human or animal shape Meeple. "Gample" is short, memorable, and captures the essence of these pawns. Let's make "Gample" the new go-to word for uniting boardgamers everywhere!

Questions: did you play with the solo? If so any feedback about how much maintenance it requires? By that I mean, do you forget what you were doing by the time you finish playing the AI's turn or it's pretty quick? In terms of weight which is a big concern, any other popular games that are similar in weight? Thanks!
@inspired2game
@inspired2game Ай бұрын
Unfortunately we didn’t have time to try out the solo before moving the prototype along, so I can’t say. As far as weight goes, it’s definitely lighter than a Lacerda. Slightly lighter than Trickerion, but fairly similar. It’s a little heavier than Apiary, if you’ve played that. I do think it’s fairly accessible for gamers. What are the heaviest games you enjoy playing?

@@richardwoods4995 Yes, I did thanks. Only problem is that he only showed the first turn, and then he said it gets more complex from there by showing upgrades cards. So no way to know how complex it gets, how long each subsequent turn of the solo takes, etc. I'll look around once more playthroughs are out, hopefully someone will do a full solo game. I might reach out to the solo designer, he was very responsive when I asked him a question about his design of Ada's Dream. Cheers! :)

In 2019, Man vs Meeple did a video on the history of the word “meeple”. In it they put forth that, because meeple is made up of “my” and “people” and “people” is a plural, then “meeple” must also be plural. This video clip probably makes more sense in the full video.

I use meeple as both singular and plural. But I won't argue against someone using the word meeples. I will die on the hill in the argument between LEGO and LEGOs (LEGO is right btw. if you want to emphasize quantity, use Lego bricks or Lego parts)

Fun video. Getting new games to play is great. But getting games to the table regularly is even better! Thanks for reminding me it's been a while since I played Welcome To. It's simple and more ish. Also, I need to make time again for Unsettled this summer! The combination of deadly and tight puzzles with the whimsical writing is delightful. Some of our favourites and reliable games right now are: Expeditions (with the Gears of Corruption expansion), Azul (always competitive and fun) and Planet Unknown (best polyomino in my collection). Honourable mentions to Dune Uprising and Cascadia.
