Zee Battles Tom in Abstract Battle January 2018!!!

[@johnbyrne8128]

These abstract live plays are great! Hope we see more some time!

[@billcook4768]

So just before the abstract battle, Tom spreads his germs during the marathon. That's some serious gamesmanship. Well done.

[@skeezaworkan]

The last game's - Katarenga - author is David Parlett. He was the winner of the very first Spiel des Jahres.

That solemn “you’re a goofy goober yeah..” at 13:09 was so sad 😂😂

[@paulsavinsky7155]

Sad these aren't available in the states. I'd really like to have Quatro Flash, Triagoli and Katarenga. I love the quality of the boards too.

[@devilman909]

You should do these more often. Love seing you play.

[@x1teDota]

Triangoli looks awesome.

[@melvinj.124]

True. It's a good concept

[@FYCxxLeoxx]

This is great. I love discovering new abstract games!

[@loneXolf]

Really enjoyed watching this live play! Quatro Flash And Urbino seemed to be the weaker games. Btw It costs 50 euros to ship Triangoli to the states.

[@kjerins]

These games look fun, thanks for showing them!

[@e7diablo]

Which would you choose: Katarenga or Kamisado?

[@Hieronymus-Pseudonymous]

The winning move in Quatro Flash was available just 2 turns earlier.

[@Kevin-bb7wk]

Urbino looks really fun!

[@FistaCuffLinks]

For Triangoli, is moving the king piece to the corners a valid move? (a.k.a. Zee's fatal mistake) My understanding is that it wouldn't be an "intersection" since that spot only touches one small triangle, but then again I also only know the rules from this playthrough..

[@asdfjoe123]

"An intersection marks a point on up to 6 triangles"

[@thereasonablegamemaster2737]

Seems like the basic win is set up three ways to win, which Zee could have done once he he could make the three green diagonal and the three orange stack at around 12 minutes maybe earlier. I am guessing he didnt see it because the green was at the bottom of a stack. He may also have felt it was not a way to win since in some games covered is out of play. Neat game!

[@ninajiron5488]

I watched this when you posted it. And I know you don't usually respond to comments. But, PLEASE, tell us where to get these!

[@Ducati11111]

LOL, "I'm gonna make your turtle squeal"

[@SV2K]

Quatro Flash can be played colorblind, just swap red or green for white

[@Vampa219]

poor Zee being sick, The winning move could have easily have been done at 17:02, though in fairness, it's probably easier to see the stack height from our view than his.

[@oonwc]

Couldn’t Zee have won at 9:22 by placing his yellow at height 4 on top of his two greens on the left? Ga3 Ya3 using chess coordinates. Is there a rule that says you can’t put both pieces on the same spot?

[@arcplayer]

At 2:37 Tom said the two pieces cant be placed together.

[@boohiss83]

Get better Zee! It's taken me over 2 weeks to get over that nasty cough.

[@adelindumitru5518]

Is that hallstat on the screen behins you?

[@kirkwagner461]

No coffee drinkers? I can never work for you.

[@gmilam2]

what is the name of the last game

[@ConUK21]

Katarenga

[@dpokan]

46:35 Tom has the memory of a sea turtle.

[@codym6376]

Cool video

[@HomeFryWolfie]

Lol this seems unfair, with poor Zee being so sick. And we all know who was sick first ;)

[@TheFilipFonky]

What was Zee's mistake here at 38:50? He still had pieces

[@asdfjoe123]

Move Straight Line 1 2 or 3 steps

[@asdfjoe123]

You were perhaps thinking he could make a move that involved not going in a straight line?

[@TheFilipFonky]

So you cannot go back the way you came in the previous turn? Or what exactly is the problem?

[@asdfjoe123]

Look at the board. Where could he have legally landed while moving 1, 2, or 3 steps?

[@TheFilipFonky]

Ahhh I see, he's completely stuck because the only 3 available spots are all blocked! Thank you for guiding me through this.

[@Hieronymus-Pseudonymous]

20:06 You can't actually win by stacking 4 pieces on each other, can you? Tom didn't say you could, and neither did Zee in his review.

[@rogerx1258]

this TURTLE!

[@brianwilson6634]

Found the first three games at thewoodenwagon.com

[@austoncarpenter4702]

See could have won at 17:23. Sorry just had to say that.

[@KissellMissile]

He had it set up for the win since the 10 minute mark. The camera had a better angle then the players.

[@christiaanpruijn3296]

Zee could have won in 2 moves after his move at 6:32. Green E3 and Yellow E5. Then there were 3 spots to victory

[@austoncarpenter4702]

I just found that autocorrect made it See not Zee.

[@joelfox5261]

Good find Christiaan!

[@lastburning]

I crave hidden information in these kind of games. Otherwise they feel overly calculative.

[@ninajiron5488]

Name of the last game?

[@TheFilipFonky]

Nina Jiron The name is Katarenga, I found it in the description

[@bapithapal4662]

👌

[@non-alphagamer3618]

And Monopoly is NOT a game?
