Love to see Twixt in the background! What an unappreciated gem!

The arithmetic used to calculate the score is a way to force the player to capture stones of the same color. Two green stones are better than one red plus one yellow. That is the purpose of the strange rule.

Really interesting scoring. Flavourwise it would make sense to get the scores of both neighbouring players, but you of course have very little control over the options the player before you has. In a different kind of game, however, it would be interesting for everyone to get, say, half of each of your neighbours' scores. You could then really do a kind of altruism as a strategy.

Sounds like Davinci's Challenge, but with cards forming diamonds instead of tiles forming flowers.

Very strategic the way to score. I prefer the name VELENO = Poison; it is much more appropriate.

😁👍

Is it possible to play with 2 people?

😁👍

I think the "can't move backwards" rule might be a translation error of "can't move a piece that was just moved back to where it was on the next turn". Makes sense in Gonu games with a bigger board; probably unnecessary in Pumpkin Gonu.

Would love to pledge but #TheNetherlands

4:26 I am Uncle Wiggly! My wife's dad loved the Uncle Wiggly game as a kid and she just kind of inherited his copy. Every once in a while we play a few rounds. I love it. I think it's charming.

Love and respect from Nepal Bagh - Tiger Chal - move So it's ' Tigers Move' Very traditional Game

Nice!

So this is essentially 2-player Ludo, complete with having to finish with an exact number and being “safe” when standing on an ankh (or star).

Thanks for the thorough rundown of Senet! I learned of this game’s existence because you find a copy of it in a tomb in the videogame Tintin Reporter: Cigars of the Pharaoh.

Very cool, I'll have to call or again when there's an international version

Very cool. In some ways buttons seem better, as I'd imagine they'd be easier to extract from the holes.

Thank you David! Very much appreciated more than you know. Your look at vintage and contemporary games through a historical lens is really amazing. If you're watching this video please do give this channel a like and follow!

So cool! I just backed it on Kickstarter. 🎉

JESUS LOVES YOU ❤️

Thanks for the vídeos. Specially the historics are great! For a fan from Brazil! 😊

Owh this is Ludo in modern Days

Great video. Thanks

It's kind of like a mix of trouble and chutes and ladders

I'm so glad I happened upon your Touring video! Some time ago, I found the version with the yellow box and the red vehicle & trailer. I bought it despite the lack of instructions, hoping the cards were all there at least. This particular version was "Made in Canada by The Copp Clark Co Limited under license from Parker Bros." It has the same mileage cards you have; however, the only rulebook I had been able to locate was a PDF ot the 1937 version (1,3,15,30 miles). I learnt that I had all the cards, but It was obvious that the goal couldn't possibly be the same 110 miles, so the game has sat, forlorn and unplayed. No longer - we can play! You explain the game thoroughly, and I enjoyed your history info to start. I've subscribed and am looking forward to more videos.

My grandmothers set used buttons for the cars. As the cars where lost by my dad and uncle when they where kids.

Utterly pointless game. If neither play is an idiot, the game is a draw.

When I was a kid I always used to go for the car in monopoly. So I could make brmmm brmmm and screeching noises going around the corners. So they hid it from me. They had to hide the dog too.

Were the transmitters too big to put in the cars?

😁👍

4:16 Are those the same cars used in Monopoly? They look similar.

What's in the cup?

Excellent

My parents and their best friends were crazy over Oh Wah Ree! Every night after us kids watched the Six Million Dollar Man, they would play it for HOURS.

This is a cool channel. Mount and Blade 2 bannerlord brought me here basically. That video game has all kinds of real life board games in it like Baghchal, konane, mu torere etc.

A year ago, at a game jam, I worked on a game that used geometric properties of shapes like the square or the octagon. Linop! reminded me of that work; but I must admit that I never thought of using it as a 3-in-a-row mechanic. I combined it with tile placement to generate valid intersections where pegs or tokens could be placed.

The rule must include the phrase: the player that fills up the board is the loser. Suppose the situation: five holes left to be filled. The player puts exactly five stones and fills up the board. I ask: who lost? without the phrase included in the rules, neither player lost.

Is this game still played in Mongolia and Central Asia today?

Hello! What about if a player wins the first round and also wins the second round? The other player will be the loser, won't it?

Do you have to make these games under licence to whoever holds the rights ?

Are there any other game developer you have featured like Sid Sackson? (I always thought it was Saxon)

Have you a link to any good sites about Randolph? Though there is lot on Wikipedia and their external links. Could you make a playlist of his creations?

😁👍

Hi!! Just found you! I am having a hard time finding Dama on your new venture web site! We’re big gamers and will probably purchase multiple games you have many we’ve never played! Really want Dama though!

Hello from Wales! My dad was a beta tester for this game. Unfortunately he lost his copy but I just picked it up in a local charity shop. He was so excited to see the game again and I think it is going to be a regular on our game night 😁

increible. Espero poder ahorrar lo suficiente para apoyar el proyecto, aunque han sido unos meses dificiles y me ha costado ahorrar 🥲

Roll four means the coin you would have played goes to the barkeep. When the game starts, or someone comes in after starting, you put a coin on seven to join, also to restart after someone rolled a twelve.

I just finished listening to a podcasts with Ellie Dix as a guest where she described developing one of her games (Midsummer Night's Faire) from concept to pitch to publishing. Really neat stuff. I'll have to start looking for her games. She seems to put a lot of thought into them.
