@travelin'withtodd thanks for hanging out with us! This version the audio should be a bit better haha. Hope you enjoy your ride!

[@travelinwithTODD]

it was nice. it is so nice up here tonight. cool. great for a short ride. i ended up riding to my local game store before they closed and got a copy of Glass Road for dirt cheap. it was a consignment sale (people sell their used games through them) and i got it home, opened it and it is brand new. nothing unwrapped or punched. good score! i am on a Uwe collecting spree at the moment. i have been playing a couple games of Tangram CIty, a lite Uwe game. i posted some photos on the channel. thank you for the shout out in the video! you are the best. and you were asking about my helmet. i wear a half helmet but looking to get full face for highway / long rides.

[@botanyandboard]

@travelinwithTODD how do I miss your posts so much?! Unacceptable Baley!! But tangram City sounds fun!! Let me go look at your post like a good friend why don't I. Summer night rides are so so nice. I've only ever had the full helmet. Same for Wyatt. We need to go out on a night ride now that you mention it. We sometimes get in and just don't get back out. Only difference I never actually leave 😂 total hermit.

[@travelinwithTODD]

@@botanyandboard i think i invented the word "hermit"! ill take the bike out but still all by myself. i never used to be that way in my younger years but now, work to home. home to work. play games, drive rc trucks! lol. but I'm not complaining. i like it.

[@chrisb2129]

We have many of the same picks 😀 Cafe Baras: must have! We really liked Creature Comforts and Maple Valley from KTBG. Diced Veggies from them is one of our favorite small box games for the evenings. Stalk Exchange: I couldn't get a vibe on this one either. Waiting to hear more. Mycelia: looks like a good puzzle. Definitely on our watch list. Undergrove: backed this on KS. Seems like it isn't living up to the buzz based on feedback from those who have played it on BGA. Honey Buzz: haven't played this for a while either but the expansion is a must have. I really regret not backing it on KS. Windmill Valley: watching this one. I'm leaning towards passing on it but I haven't been able to get a good vibe on it. Maybe I need to watch a playthough. Spectacular: this one is now on my watch list. I wasn't aware of it until seeing this video. Happy Home: another one I wasn't aware of until watching this video. Sounds interesting. We are also looking to find our forever home. I always thought it would be where we are now but the city around us has grown so much, things getting so busy and changing in not good ways that we can't stay here for the long term. Right now we are trying to figure out where we might want to go.

[@botanyandboard]

We have so many of the same picks that is awesome!!! I love to see that! All the better to recommend each other games! I really slowed down on my kickstarter purchases last year because my Shelf of Opportunity was stressing me a bit lol, but now that I've caught up on some/ making my way through I am like darn why didn't I back the games when they are on Kickstarter. I have a very toxic trait of loving deluxe editions too much for my own good lol. We actually just bought land this month to build a house.. eventually. We are in save money mode currently. We are definitely ready for more space though... between all my games and plants, and the 15 dog beds I have everywhere lol I've been feeling scrunched.

[@greg_herhuth]

Great video. I love seeing lists of upcoming games. It shows me just how much more space I need on my shelves! There's a lot of great games there that I either own, have backed, or just plain want. Like seeing your perspective on the games as well. KTBG games are pretty cool. We have a few and have enjoyed them.

[@botanyandboard]

Hahaha you and I are on the same wavelength on the more space on shelves! I simultaneously commented on the other post 😆 once I order the new ones where will they go us TBD haha

[@greg_herhuth]

@@botanyandboard Hahaha - I just replied to the other comment and then saw this one. Now I am confused as to what I am responding to 🤣. Ugh, getting old sucks!

[@jparish1987]

Great video. I don't go to Gen Con but look through the list every year and preorder so many games. Including Rock Hard, Invincible, Arc, Star Trek Captains Chair, Tales of Authorian Knights, The Gang, Sly The Spire, Tir Na Nog and This Game is Killer.

[@botanyandboard]

We are the same in that regard!! Online game shopping with no crowds - yes please. I think Rock Hard is going to do VERY well monetarily haha. Good day for that publisher for sure!!

[@jparish1987]

Preorder Rock Hard direct from Devir they have a listing with a promo character Jackie Fox of the Runaways who designed the game. If the option to preorder from the publisher is there I usually got that route cause they'll usually ship before retail stores. I've already received Invincible from Direwolf Digital and Tir Na Nog from Grand Gamers Guild.

[@botanyandboard]

Oh good tip!! I will go do that- I definitely want the game, and something about it being sold out spikes my anxiety lol so might as well soothe that and get a promo character while I'm at it! Thank you!!

[@jparish1987]

@@botanyandboard they have two listings make sure you get the $52 one with the promo

[@botanyandboard]

@@jparish1987 you are fantastic!!! thank you!!!

[@edwardwoods8423]

Great list! Rock Hard & Cafe Barras are on my list as well. We really liked Creature Comforts and Haunt the House from KTBG. Witchcraft! Is a great solo experience I don't think you will be disappointed. Spooky Goodness!

[@botanyandboard]

Thanks Edward!! I love me some spooky goodness so that's great to hear you liked it as well!! I need to look up Haunt the House- that could be right up my alley!

[@travelinwithTODD]

great list. i have been looking through the list on BGG. there are a lot i want! some i have backed already.

[@daem0nfaust]

I really really really hope Rock Hard is awesome. Because those player boards are so cool..

[@botanyandboard]

Right!! With the amps! I love it! It's even better it's a unique theme so I'm just really excited in general, but with great production on top 🤗😁

[@jparish1987]

New subscriber have you played Detective City of Angels? If not it's from Van Ryder has a solo and Cooperative mode for you to play through each case. Then you take it to some friends that didn't play it coop with you and you play as the Chisel while they take on the role of detectives competing to solve the case first. As the Chisel you can play it as you'd like as a DM running the game or play against them to leave the case unsolved. When a detective asks a question to a suspect as the Chisel you will decide to give that suspects best response and tell the whole truth, out right lie or give a little bit of truth in a lie. It's one of my favorite games a Clue+ if you will.

[@botanyandboard]

Welcome!!! 🤗 So happy to have you as a new subscriber! I LOVE Detective City of Angels!!! I have played through all but 1 case from the base game and have the new expansions. Sadly I have played them solo more than multiplayer but I still really enjoy it solo as well. Evan did such a good job writing the cases. I've played the chisel on two different cases, but I've never been able to play as a detective against the chisel. Wyatt didn't like it as much so hints me playing solo mostly. I have a playthrough of Suspects coming out on Sunday. It's also deductive mystery game and I really enjoyed it as well. I prefer CoA over that but I still really like it. Clue was always my favorite game growing up!

[@jparish1987]

@@botanyandboard I to have played all but one case in the base game. In my case I've played a single game as a Detective and every other time I've played as the Chisel. I don't do much solo games, if I don't have anyone to play with I'll be painting miniatures. Clue was also my favorite game growing up. I also enjoy Awkward Guests: The Walton Case for a Clue+ feeling but do not recommend playing with an English teacher. She picked up on the writing clues so quick and solved the case in three rounds.

[@botanyandboard]

LOVE awkward guests too! I also play that one majority solo. I would pick playing multi over solo if Wyatt matched my excitement levels towards the games and would play enough I probably wouldn't solo as much. As it is though I play mainly solo and take what I can from Wyatt's willingness to play lol

[@jparish1987]

@@botanyandboard I'm the same way with my wife she prefers video games over board games. I buy games for us to play and am happy when we get around to them. Played our first game of Lands of Galzyr this past weekend. Have four friends who have also married non board game spouses and we joke about it. I have folks over on Wednesdays and when he is available I'll join Joey from the DT at his place for games on a Monday. Glad he's running the Big Game Bash now there's an event every two months with 200 gamers in the area.

[@botanyandboard]

@@jparish1987 omg getting to game with Joey no way!! That's awesome he's running that I had no idea! Very out of the area for me in Missouri unfortunately hahaha maybe Mike's midwest annex lol 😆 I love video games but I have been coming to terms with I was good at 90s 2000s games and I just suck at modern games lol. Our PS4 just stopped working randomly a couple months ago, but we got really into all the remastered games we had played growing up. Like crash bandicoot and crash team racing we really got obsessed with.
