[@SambaEstudios]

Thank you so much for the feature, Dice Tower! Both to Samba specifically and to Brazil in general. PS: yes, Charlatão is indeed Charlatan, but also a pun since "Latão" also means "Tin", and you're trying to trick other people into buying low quality copper. (Maybe CharlaTin is a good English name?)

[@codainlaw]

Charlatin would be a great pun in English because it’s pronounced the same.

[@alexsandercp]

Wow, thanks for the shoutout! I certainly have unlocked a game design archievement today haha CharLatão (The Copper Trickster) has a better cover on BGG, with Ea-Nasir being the trickster merchant he is (was). Not final, but certainly better And if you don't know about the first complaint letter in history, google Ea-Nasir and indulge yourself in some very high quality bronze age memes 😂

Thanks for the highlight on games from Brazil, Dice Tower. "1000?" and Ozob are actually of the same authors. Jordy Adan, one of the authors, is also the author of Cartographers and Stonespine Architects. As for myself, I am the other author and have been working with the modern board games market for a while now in Brazil. Potato Man and Fibonachos are some of the games you have in the US that I have worked in. Cheers from Brazil and we'll meet at GenCon.

Thank you for the shoutout to Brazil and the kind words, Tom and Zee. Now I will have to find a convention to play together with you guys again :)

[@cameronlucas1969]

I have never been more annoyed watching a KZbin video at the end with the raking and cleaning of the glass. Thank you Zee for keeping things on track!

[@bonniemacpherson7742]

For The Yellow House, I’m assuming you were you referring to Paul Gauguin as being the other artist? (His name is pronounced sort of like “go gan”). This game looks very interesting to me!

[@matthewzahnzinger]

Oh, wow... the Gravitron, the Caterpillar... that top 3 is giving me strong nostalgia vibes! Need to call out the Zipper, the Tomahawk, the Wheel of Fire, and the Pharaoh's Fury. I loved visiting the local fair when it came through each year; very sad they finally called it quits last year.

[@Joshua_Tymchyn]

I have never seen a water ride at a carnival. Floridians are lucky, it seems.

[@ianwilz1979]

First thing I noticed about OZOB was that it is BOZO backwards and the main picture is obviously a Cyberpunk version of Bozo the Clown.

[@shaunhughes2]

Zoo Tycoon: New Shores expansion is live on Kickstarter now

[@PuertoGeekan]

5:00 FYI, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls was written by Roger Ebert, not directed. The director was Russ Meyer.

[@mintfalcon]

Y’all are the best

I like the taste great/less filling ride. Anyone who went to carnivals or amusement parks in the 80's knows what I am talking about....otherwise known as the Sea dragon. I can't do circle rides and most carnivals around me are circle rides , a ferris wheel and games, so I do not go. Plus I do not trust carnivals and you tube videos lately have shown me my distrust is spot on. Bumper cars = headache inducer.....no thanks. the light on the sand thing reminded of KITT I kept hearing the whirr whirr noise.

[@richardbrooks9927]

Here in the UK the Bumper Cars are called dodgems. Same thing just try not to bump. It's impossible so good fun.

Old news? The caption on the news segment reads: "Dice Tower News June 11th, 2024"

[@lizziejohnson5084]

I LOVE the original Witness! While I'm glad it has been reprinted, the artwork has had a downgrade IMO and the new ones wouldn't capture my interest. It is a bit group dependent, but can be absolutely hilarious when played with close friends.

[@AntiSocialHero]

Um… astroglide slide? 🤔😱😅

[@Mepper.]

Fresh cilantro tastes disgusting and horrible to me. I think it might be okay when it is cooked, but I'm afraid to try any recipes with it because of my bad experience...

[@iinventedadrian]

Expansion coming out for Bloodstones...a game you can't buy anywhere.

[@TheClyd3Man]

Coming out via Gamefound. A reprint of the base game will also be offered.

[@ScytheNoire]

Does that company have the license to use Ozob, which is an existing character from the Cyberpunk franchise and also appears in Cyberpunk 2077. Maybe Brazil has no copyright laws that would prevent theft of property, but don't think this will get released elsewhere. Brazil I think also had that Comic Hunter game that used copyrighted material without permission.

[@gbochio]

Ozob was created by Jovem Nerd, a popular brazilian website/youtube channel that covers geek culture. It appeared in cyberpunk 2077 later, as a homage to the character and all the brazilian fans. Comic Hunters was produced after the publisher got a contract with Disney, but it only included Brazil. In fact, all the covers that are shown in the cards were provided by Marvel.

Cilantro ruins every dish it touches, don't know about no soap though
