Today, chris and Angie have handed over the keys to the show and I'm in the driver's seat. And, oh boy, have I got a treat for you. We're diving head first into the treasure trove of Meeple quizzes. In newbies, you're about to get a turbocharged introduction to what makes Chasing Meeple so awesome, and for our die-hard fans, it's a high-octane trip down memory lane. No more waiting, no more delays let's rock it into the chase and fire up those quizzes now.
Speaker 2All right, Chris, are you ready? Am I ready for?
Speaker 3what.
Speaker 2This is a Chasing Meeple quiz show.
Speaker 3Oh, chasing Meeple quiz show. Oh yeah, we have a quiz show now.
Speaker 2We have a quiz show and just so you know that these questions are going to have to do with our name, and then it's going to morph into board games. So there's a theme. There's a theme, just so you know that.
Speaker 3I have no idea what this quiz is about. All I see in the show notes is Quiz Chicago and like Board Game 101 about what is a meeple. I have no screen or internet that I can click off of, like Angie did when she was on the interweb.
Speaker 2Interweb. Yeah, are you ready? In 1991, the rock band Chicago recorded a song with the following lyric no use making you care about me. No way that I'm going to win, oh darling, I might as well be. Can you finish the sentence?
Speaker 3Am I allowed to ask questions?
Speaker 2Absolutely.
Speaker 3Okay, 1990.
Speaker 2One.
Speaker 3And it's a new song.
Speaker 2What's a song from 1991?
Speaker 3Well, okay, that was a stupid question. So in the 90s, Peter Sotera was no longer the lead singer of Chicago.
Speaker 2Well, you've got me there.
Speaker 3Which means who cares? I have no idea what this song is, but read that again.
Speaker 2No use making you care about me. No way that I'm going to win. Oh, darling, I might as well be playing Katan, Remember it has nothing to do with the name of our podcast and then leading it to games.
Speaker 3I should have listened to that part where you were explaining what it's about.
Speaker 2Yeah, oh, yeah, exactly. I can understand you until you start to speak. I can understand you until you listen. Well, you said Chris, this is Chasing Meeple's Quiz Show.
Speaker 3Oh yeah, and then I was panicking I may as well be chasing.
Speaker 2Next question. You have to kind of get that word to get to the next question.
Speaker 3Okay, chasing your pawn.
Speaker 2Okay, yeah, we own one game with the word Wind in the title. Oh darling, I might as well be chasing the wind.
Speaker 3The wind, the wind. Wind, wind, and we have a game with wind in the title.
Speaker 2Yes, what is that game?
Speaker 3Oh, my goodness. Okay, it is no no, no, no, no hints. Okay, no hints. You don't give hints. After the colon Does, like Alex Trebek, be like. This word comes after the colon. And then somebody is like what is? Well, here's a hint. No, no, you got to wait for the answer. Oh, Winds of Galecrest.
Speaker 2What's the first word? It's the name of the game.
Speaker 3I know Palomori and Stoneware Games.
Speaker 2Yes.
Speaker 3Libertalia yeah.
Speaker 2Okay. One reviewer commented this is his comment on the game. Here are abstract chaos. I didn't understand this concept at all. Well, another reviewer left the comment the game is fun. Exclamation point the art is great. Exclamation point. I know this is a sticking point with a lot of people, but this is a silly game. I don't mind if the armor of the ship is a gorilla. What is the game rated? Yeah, it has nothing to do with that, but I thought those were funny.
Speaker 3What is the game rated on BGG?
Speaker 2Yes. What is it rated on BGG?
Speaker 3Eight.
Speaker 2Oh, that's pretty good. I think we can give you half a point for that. It's 7.6. Okay, let me round it up, that would be eight. Yeah, okay, libertalia Winds of Galecrest is a re-implementation. What year was the original Libertalia published?
Speaker 3I don't know 1999.
Speaker 2Not quite that old 2012.
Speaker 3Well, I just figured. Maybe you're trying to be, oh no, 91. 91 was that non-Peter Cetera song.
Speaker 2Oh my gosh, that would have been good. Oh, I'm not that clever. The original game is rated 495. Is Libertalia Winds of Galecrest ranked higher or lower?
Speaker 3It's rated lower.
Speaker 2Yes, 808.
Speaker 3There's a lot of people that love that original. So that's it. You did it. You did it. What's my score?
Speaker 2Two out of five.
Speaker 3I got two out of five, right, two out of five. I feel like I got more than that.
Speaker 2The score in BGG. You said eight and it was a 7.6. So if we give you a half point for each one, we can give you a three out of five, and I'm writing this down three out of five. Are you ready? Are you ready for a quiz? Get your thinking cap on.
Speaker 3Oh, I am ready. I am ready. I'm actually starting to like this quiz thing.
Speaker 2Well, this is a pretty simple one. You know what? I have four questions. I was three and I turned it into four.
Speaker 3Okay, so you know what I love about this quiz stuff. The most Is that I know nothing about what she's going to quiz me like for real.
Speaker 2I saw you peeking.
Speaker 3Only because you put it with my notes.
Speaker 2You put your notes on top of my quiz.
Speaker 3Well, your security lacks, I guess.
Speaker 2I did. I was so worried about everything else. Okay, this is pop culture trivia. Once again, chris. Our subject starts out with something to do with our name, that is, chacy Meeples, and ends with a board game.
Speaker 3Okay, Starting to get the hang of it.
Speaker 2Alrighty In 1997, romcom written and directed by Kevin Smith stars. You know what a romcom is.
Speaker 3Yeah, romantic comedy yes, so it's 1997.
Speaker 2Think back.
Speaker 3I don't know why you said it's a weird, though I don't know.
Speaker 2Because I actually have it here on my sheet, I have rom with a capital R, so if I'm speaking it like this, I actually think for some reason it would say romcom, which is not necessary. Okay. And then 1997, romantic comedy written and directed by Kevin Smith, stars Ben Affleck, joey Lauren Adams and Jason Lee.
Speaker 3Who else is Joey Lauren Adams.
Speaker 2It's a girl.
Speaker 3Oh, okay, I'm thinking Joey Lawrence.
Speaker 2I didn't want to like not include her.
Speaker 3Okay, anyway.
Speaker 2But it's a girl, okay. So 1997 romantic comedy that's written, directed by Kevin Smith. It stars Ben Affleck, jason Lee and Joey Lauren Adams. This is called chasing who. Okay, what year was that 1997.
Speaker 3Chasing. I don't know who this Lauren Adams Smith is.
Speaker 2Well, it's a girl. So now you have to be chasing something. Someone chasing.
Speaker 3Yeah, chasing Mary, oh chasing. No, that's something about Mary. Hey, what's on chasing Amy?
Speaker 2Darn you, turn you, that's it.
Speaker 3Was it chasing Amy? I pulled that out of my butt.
Speaker 2You pull a lot of things out of your butt.
Speaker 3Hey, now oh.
Speaker 2I didn't think you were gonna get that one. In the 1994 movie clerks Kevin Smith starred. As what character.
Speaker 3Silent Bob.
Speaker 2I'm really gonna have to dig deep to get more difficult questions than this, because those were the difficult ones. Really. After this, this is pretty simple.
Speaker 3Well, chasing Amy, I guessed on and I've never seen clerks in my life, but I know it's like Silent Bob and something Jay in 2014, a special edition of a popular game was created called Silent Bob and Jay Strikes Back Edition.
Speaker 2What is the game?
Speaker 3Okay, hold on, give me some time to think about this.
Speaker 2No problem, I'm not going anywhere. What year? 2014. It's a game that has special editions.
Speaker 3Well, there's a lot of games that has special editions. It's silly like Monopoly, and sure it's not Monopoly.
Speaker 2But it's like Scooby-Doo Jenga.
Speaker 3Yeah, I Don't know. I don't know. It's Monopoly is it Monopoly?
Speaker 2Yes, monopoly's got everything that was the given oh.
Speaker 3Yeah, that was the given, that was the given, that was the given.
Speaker 2That's what I thought. No, that's the what I actually just created. So this quiz would have four questions instead of three.
Speaker 3Okay, so I'm so far. I have two and I missed one. I don't want Monopoly, I got that one wrong.
Speaker 2I know that's when you got right.
Speaker 3I said uno, yeah, so you have two right and one wrong and well played with the poker face when I said just probably something like Monopoly.
Speaker 2Thank you, and what is it rated on BGG oh?
Speaker 3God, I hate that you do this.
Speaker 2175,936 not what it's ranked.
Speaker 3Oh, ranked. Rated. What's it? Rated two, two.
Speaker 2That bad is a 6.5.
Speaker 3It's okay good. What made it different.
Speaker 2I have no idea. That's as far as I got. Okay, I don't think it makes it any different. I think instead of park place, it's probably like the smoke shack or something like that. I Never, I didn't look at it.
Speaker 3Oh, okay, way to do your research.
Speaker 2Well, I didn't care, I just need to get from chasing to a board game. Oh, okay and that's the way I got it through Kevin Smith. Oh, how about this? I got another question, bonus question. Kevin Smith owns a.
Speaker 3It's a comic book store forget it. Okay, so how do I do? How do I do?
Speaker 2You're three.
Speaker 3No, you get two is the bonus question, a real bonus question. Then I got three.
Speaker 2No, you got two. You got eight. Chasing Amy. You got silent Bob. Well, yeah, I threw it in there. You got those. Yeah, okay, you got three out of five. Yeah, all right, everybody, it is whiz time I Ready for this, chris, I'm always ready for quiz.
Speaker 2This was difficult for me because I had an idea. I really had this idea of what I wanted to do and it turned out to be a little bit more difficult. So I finagled the questions, I believe At first I was really worried that they were gonna be too difficult. But then after last week, of the way you did last week, then I thought, hmm, I ain't worried about it, I don't care how hard they are.
Speaker 3Oh, you mean how I Got you so frustrated? Because I had the answers to every one of your quiz questions.
Speaker 2Yes, no, you have them all so. You know what it's gonna start today. I'm gonna start keeping track, so last week doesn't even count.
Speaker 3Oh, no, no, no, they all count.
Princess Diaries, Star Trek, and Game
Speaker 2Let's start with this one. In 2004 we're back to a romantic comedy starring pop icon Mandy Moore played Anna Foster, the president's daughter. They go on a trip to Prague. Anna is upset with her over protective father because he broke a promise, so she decides to give her security detail the slip During a concert and runs off with a handsome young man Unbeknownst to her. He is a Secret Service agent assigned to protect her. That's so stupid Anyway it's a 2004 romantic comedy.

Speaker 3She played Lana Thomas I don't know who Mandy Moore is.
Speaker 2You don't know who the pop icon mind the pop. She was a pop icon.
Speaker 3Mandy Moore, one of those. Only one song.
Speaker 2Okay, all right, she's like one of those sweet, so I kind of not in this movie. She was so iconic I don't know what song. Yeah yes, okay, keep going in this 2001 movie she played the mean girl arch, nemesis to Mia Thermopolis, who was played by Anne Hathaway. Anne Hathaway, in this movie, discovers that she is a princess. What is the name of this movie?
Speaker 3Hey everybody, I just discovered I'm a princess.
Speaker 2No, it's called Princess Diaries.
Speaker 3Oh geez.
Speaker 2All right, this is where it gonna, well, okay this is where it's gonna get. In 2004 Princess Diaries 2. In 2004 the princess diaries 2 royal engagement. Princess Mia is setting into her new life in Genovia, but she soon discovers that she has to marry within 30 days so she can become queen.

Speaker 3What year?
Speaker 2I don't feel bad not getting these, I don't care. 2004 2004.
Speaker 3Uh, it's gonna be um Zach Efron.
Speaker 2No, but that's a good guess. Okay, Chris Pine.
Speaker 3Oh, he's kind of cool.
Speaker 2Okay, next question. I'll put a big fat zero by this one. Chris Pine stars as a young brash Starship captain in this sci-fi movie based on a television series of the same name. What is the movie?
Speaker 3that's Star Trek.
Speaker 2All right, there's plenty of Star Trek games. We know that.
Speaker 3Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2Star Trek Starship tactical combat simulation is the oldest game on the list.
Speaker 3On bgg bgg.
Speaker 2So when you search Star Trek, the list that comes up that is the oldest game. What year did it come out?
Speaker 3I'm gonna say 1960s.
Speaker 2Okay, the game is not that old.
Speaker 3It's 1983. No, well, okay, fine, I went back, I mean. I was like back going back down.
Speaker 2Okay, in 2012, a special Star Trek edition of a popular hobby board game was released. What is it?
Speaker 3Farkel.
Speaker 2Is that your answer?
Speaker 3Sure.
Speaker 2You're not even going to think about this one.
Speaker 3It's Katan.
Speaker 2Okay, so you were willing to take a zero at that, just to be some sort of smarty pants.
Speaker 3Yeah, what is that? Was I right?
Speaker 2though, yes, you're right Okay good. You're right, All right. Star Trek Katan is ranked 1270 on BGG Star Trek, the dice game. Is it higher or lower than 1270?
Speaker 3Higher.
Speaker 2Lower it's 52.69.
Speaker 3Okay.
Speaker 2Is Star Trek, the deck building game, higher or lower?
Speaker 3Lower.
Speaker 2It's higher, it's 3157. No, 3757. See, star Trek has got all these different kinds of game. They got deck building, they got the dice game, they have the board game, they have a Katan game. But if you were going to make a Star Trek game, what type of game would it be and describe it? This is going to be open. If I really like your answer, it'll be worth a lot. I can see no thought being put into this whatsoever.
Speaker 3Really.
Speaker 2Yeah, really.
Speaker 3Okay, so if I want to make a Star Trek game, You're going to make a Star Trek game. It would be a game where not only do you travel through space, you go on to planets and you Well, you're really not a game designer are you. No, okay, you got to set it up.
Speaker 2No. What kind of game would you make? If? What kind of Are you going?
Speaker 3to boring answer like mechanisms. Okay, yeah, it would be a game. It would be a work replacement game. Well, that's a better answer it would be a Euro style work replacement game that also has pick up and deliver elements. And what would you pick?
Speaker 2up and deliver.
Speaker 3What would I pick up and deliver? Good question I would pick up people that are in distress so you could do missions and you would take them, the people, and you could do a mechanism in there where Would it be a campaign game? It could be. It could be.
Speaker 2Would there be elements of a role and write game?
Speaker 3It could be. It could be, it could be like. My thought would be is you could do work, replacement and you could do missions. Okay, so, like you rescue somebody, so let's say, and you'd have a certain amount of rounds to do it, so the people on Like let's say there were six people on this spaceship For every round that you don't defeat the enemy, let's say I'll dice their own battle right, you change the face of the die from a six to a five. Now there's one person dead, four, three.
Speaker 2Well, there you go.
Speaker 3And Yep.
Speaker 2There you go, I'm going to give you six points for that. Okay, a little slow start to it, but I see the wheels returning after a while. I appreciate that.
Speaker 3And if there are any game designers out there that are willing to help me flush that out, contact us at ChasingMeepleyahoocom. I would be more than happy to help finish that game, all right.

Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 3So they're more than two players. All right, angie, right, let me ask you a question now. Mm-hmm, this is the last question of the couples challenge.
Speaker 2Mm-hmm what. Neither one of us got that one Correct Okay.
Speaker 3What is my least favorite game?
Speaker 2Discover Land Unknown.
Speaker 3Oh God, I should have put that down. This is what I get for writing this answer out when I'm sleeping Obviously patchwork.
Speaker 2Oh yeah. That's just true.
Speaker 3Those two games, yikes errone.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 3Discover Land Unknown. Kilsie, if your socks are wet and patchwork, hey, let's play this really nice game about quilting. It's so beautiful. You get to collect buttons, you get to do this and that. Let's add up our score Negative 56. What? It just crushes your soul and it doesn't even like. You can't even warm up with the quilt that you made.
Speaker 2You're just it's got holes in it. That's why you have negative points.
Speaker 3It's cold and beaten down, all right.
Speaker 1So, Angie, I think you are.
Speaker 3I know this answer, angie. I think your least favorite game is one that you would consider a waste of time 3000 scoundrels. No, it's 3000. My card is too small. Your card says 2000. You're wrong.
Speaker 2I just realized that after you said that, I'm like oh, you wrote 2000 on your card.
Speaker 3Yeah, I'm still right. All right, well, who is the winner of the board game couples challenge? Angie, tell me who won. Who knows each other, who knows who knows? How do I put that? How do I put that?
Speaker 2Who won? Who won? Yeah, okay, who won. And who's going to sulk?
Speaker 3You won 6-5. I am the winner.
Speaker 2That's just because you didn't know how to answer questions at 11 at night.
Speaker 3Yes, yes, that's what it is. It's what it is, it's not the fact.
Speaker 2Yeah, you didn't answer your correctly about yourself, correctly. Okay, Well answer yourself correctly about yourself. You don't know yourself as well as you think you do, there you go.
Speaker 3That's deep. So anyway, I win 6-5. I'll take it.
Speaker 2Are you ready? Put your thinking cap on. It is quiz time.
Speaker 3All right.
Speaker 2Cue the music. This is rule replacement. Now, I was going to do an example but I didn't, so I'm going to read a rule. That rule is going to have keywords replaced with terms of springtime gardening or flowers, as in move one tulip, that would be move one cube. That's an example.
Speaker 3Game following yes, Okay.
Speaker 2So you have to come up with the game. You don't have to come up with the actual rule, just the name of the game that it came from.
Speaker 3Okay, okay.
Speaker 2Max points.
Speaker 3Max points.
Speaker 2Let's do five each one, so then it would be 25 points All right. Because it follows the theme. So you know what our theme is today.
Speaker 3Resurgence.
Speaker 2Apocalypse, apocalypse, apocalypse.
Speaker 3I like that theme.
Speaker 2Okay, so the first rule is weed pickers, or weed a picker. Here it is Remove one picker cube from the garden you are in, placing it in the plant supply next to the board. If this picker color has been plucked, remove all cubes of that color from the garden you are in. I made this easier because it was more difficult.
Speaker 3Yeah, because this is really easy. Right now I'm taking out like when you read that to me, I'm trying to like remove picker plucker.
Speaker 2Picker garden slant. So keywords are no, no, you don't oh.
Speaker 3Okay, no, the game is pandemic.
Speaker 2I have pandemic legacy, but I will accept pandemic Okay, next question. That was tough. Next one I'm calling Plantina Lily.
Speaker 3What did you call the other one?
Speaker 2Weed a pickers, so it was treated disease.
Speaker 3Weed a pickers yeah.
Speaker 2Treat a disease. It was the name of the rule.
Speaker 3And you changed it to weed a pickers. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2So I'm changing the word treat and then disease to weed a pickers.
Speaker 3Yeah, okay, whatever Okay.
Speaker 2Okay, I won't read what I entitled.
Speaker 3Yeah, don't do that. That's going to throw me completely off.
Speaker 2Okay, okay, here we go. I thought they were clever, but okay, they're clever, but treated disease.
Speaker 3Weed a pickers.
Discussion on Game Mechanics and Quizzes
Speaker 2So I'm moving the word treat and adding the word weed, and then removing the word disease and adding the word pickers.
Speaker 3Yes, I understand that I thought it was clever.
Speaker 2Okay, the next one, Chris. The next one On your turn. You take one of your available lilies and place them in a space in your garden. You cannot place a lily on a space that already contains a lily, nor a space from one of the petals in the room trap.
Speaker 3I don't even want to ask this what did you name this rule?
Speaker 2Plantina lily.
Speaker 3So you change the word placing with planting and a lily is a worker.
Speaker 2Close, close, but yeah, essentially the word isn't worker.
Speaker 3I'm lost.
Speaker 2I'll read you the rule Placing a dweller. On your turn, you take one of your available dwellers and place them on a space in the vault.
Speaker 3Oh, in that place. Yeah, okay, this one yeah.
Speaker 2Fallout shelter. Yeah, okay, the next one. This one you better get.
Speaker 3Oh great.
Speaker 2This one, because this is the one that started off in my head. Spend one rose petal to take your rose thorn into your hand. The rose thorn may be junked to gain an extra rose petal. When you junk the rose thorn, return it to your play area instead of pruning it. You may keep the rose thorn in your hand across multiple pansies.
Speaker 3Well, this is fifty-first date. No, because you're junking a card. Is it Radlands Water?
Speaker 2Water. Take a water style.
Speaker 3It's the water.
Speaker 2Style.
Speaker 3That makes sense, yeah, water style.
Speaker 2Okay, the next one.
Speaker 3Because in Radlands you do the same thing you can, or in fifty-first date you do the same thing you can, like I think. I don't know.
Speaker 2Yeah, you can get rid of cards.
Speaker 3And get it for the resources instead of using it as a card. So that's the way I heard that, okay.
Speaker 2There are two ways you can fertilize a location in your garden Lilac. Choose a card from your glove and discard a number of petals equal to its pollen value. Put the card in front of you, then smile and say something nice to your opponents. New flower bed cards are placed next to your daisy board according to their category Petunia locations are built in the top row, Uranium locations are built in the middle row and mom locations are built in the bottom row.
Speaker 3Fifty-first date. That's fifty-first date Got it Build a location. Yeah.
Speaker 2Last one, multiple tulip cards may be planted at the same time. Your first tulip will be your bouquet, who represents the leader of your garden. You'll be able to gain new tulip cards by placing your token into a dandelion or iris room with the pick a tulip icon and paying the associated resource cost. You can also gain a tulip for free when you complete a row of three seedlings for the first time. Remember, when you gain a tulip card, you immediately add the corresponding flower token from your supply into your greenhouse. However, if you do not have any more tokens left in your supply, you may still prune that card, skipping the planting the token in your greenhouse.
Speaker 3I have absolutely. No. I'm going to say just because I know how your mind works it's endless winter because Stan Kordonsky is the designer of resurgence, Am I correct?
Speaker 2Stan Kordonsky is the designer of resurgence and also that game, step three worker actions. Multiple survivor cards may be activated at the same time.
Speaker 3Your first survivor card will be your hero who represents the leader of your faction, oh see, and I totally thought Okay, I didn't want to go with resurgence in the meeple quiz, but come on, angie, what Dirty. Doing me a dirty, are you serious? I thought you would have been too obvious for me to say that I thought that was a gimme. Well, I was going to say that.
Speaker 2Ugh, ugh, ugh, so bad.
Speaker 3I'm so bad. Oh well, angie, I just want to say that was a very good quiz. However, please explain to me how gardening and springtime ties into the theme of they don't, but okay, I. Because that's what's throwing me off.
Speaker 2Okay, I'll tell you what. I got some inspiration from that game from Nicholas Murphy on. This Game is Broken when he does this and he does it much more complicated because I originally had it he changes every word to banana, so it would literally be remove one banana cube from your gut. I mean it would have been banana, it would have been banana. When you take your banana, you take one of your bananas from your available bananas and place them in a. So if I use the same word, I thought it'd be too confusing.
Speaker 3I don't think so. No, I think when you're hanging out saying, take a peach and pluck it from the tree, and pluck it from the plicker and pluck it, the pluck, a de-pluck, a de-weedie.
Speaker 2Well see the words like we're also action. Like I said, weed was actually the word treat, so it was the same verbage. You know using that and a noun here, and I think there's only one time I did not do that the correct way, so I thought that would help.
Speaker 3No, I think the way you did it was a little bit more confusing for me. I think banana would have been a good way. You could have just changed the pineapple and it could have been legally distinct.
Speaker 2It could have been so pineapple, but it wouldn't get sued from Nickburn. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 3All right, so 10 out of 25. I got to take it, angie.
Speaker 2You have to take it. Yeah, it's time. Now there's going to be some background noise. I'm going to try to minimize it, but I have. I'm going to be on the computer for this. I have a little bit written down, but I'm going to be on the computer mostly for this. So this quiz and I don't believe you really do Do you ever listen to this game is broken.
Speaker 3Very rarely.
Speaker 2Well, it's a loss for you because that's an awesome, awesome podcast. So I'm not stealing anything from them, but I got the idea from them and an idea that Dave Lusso does with his young son. I have. We're going to do it with five games. Okay, first game.
Speaker 3Do I get to sing a song about him?
Speaker 2Sure yeah.
Speaker 3I need music for that though.
Speaker 2Okay, well, you have a thing either. Okay, listen. Okay, you got to listen here.
Speaker 3That's like that was. That is like my favorite part of that podcast when I do listen to it is when Dave sings, so Okay.
Speaker 2So it's a tile placement game and it's one that we own. You have to guess what the game is by asking me questions. You can ask me anything except for the title. So if you want a description of the box, you want to know what components are in there, how long it plays, publisher, anything, almost anything, almost anything. You have five. I should have brought a pen up here, I didn't. You can ask you five questions. If you get it right on the first question, you get five points. If you get it right on the second question, you get four points. Third question three, two questions like that. Okay, and I should have oh, hang on a second. So I have five games, and then I do have one bonus question, so you have a possibility of 16 points.
Speaker 3And to make sure that I get max points on this quiz. You've decided to take my message, my suggestion about the first question being easy, so I get my dopamine drip correct, or are you just going to just? Are you going to patchwork me all over the place? No, that's fine. Okay, let's just go. I will do better than I did last time.
Speaker 2So I'm going to give you, I'm going to give you your bonus question first.
Speaker 3All right.
Speaker 2What is the name of the tile placement game that Tom Vassel designed? Oh my gosh, you don't know what it is.
Speaker 3No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm just thinking that's a tile placement game.
Speaker 2It has tile placement in it, so these games.
Speaker 3It was some gangster game. The name escapes me.
Speaker 2Vicious fishes.
Speaker 3Oh, vicious fishes. No, there was a different game he designed too, wasn't it?
Speaker 2No, I think he only did one. I did two. I think he was so demoralized.
Speaker 3Oh.
Speaker 2Vicious fishes got hammered. Okay, first question.
Speaker 3What year was the game published?
Speaker 2What year was the game published?
Speaker 3It was a stupid first question. Why would I, do you want to?
Speaker 2redo it. No, are you sure? No, I'm going to say 2022. I could have been 21.
Speaker 3What is the theme?
Speaker 2The theme. The theme is that it is a puzzly map building game to conquer the overworld.
Speaker 3Overboss.
Speaker 2Got it. Okay, so that was your second question. So you get four points. Okay, you're doing good here. You've got four points.
Speaker 3Second game for me to guess what is the theme.
Speaker 2Create beautiful windows with colored glass more efficiently than anyone else.
Speaker 3Sagrada. Stained glass of Cintra.
Speaker 2Nope.
Speaker 3What.
Speaker 2It's not.
Speaker 3Do I get to keep guessing? Yeah, you have five questions.
Speaker 2So that's I'm thinking. Maybe I should actually give you my own. What is it about, rather than what's written here? I'm PGG.
Speaker 3It's a Zool. It's the second expansion to a Zool and it is called the one that I like that I can't think of the name A Zool, stained glass or something like that.
Speaker 2Zool stained glass of Cintra.
Speaker 3Oh, I was wrong. I said I said Sagrada, stained glass of Cintra. It's actually a Zool.
Speaker 2You didn't say, you just said. You just said Sagrada glass.
Speaker 3I said Sagrada, stained glass of Cintra I did you, it was actually a Zool, so well, that was stupid of me Four points, so you're sitting on eight third game. All right. I'm going to go with the standard first question what is the theme of this game, Angie?
Speaker 2What's the food chain?
Speaker 3Gods love dinosaurs.
Speaker 2You're doing good here, chris. Five points, wow, I don't think those are actually questions. Well, it's anyway Four. You can start her out.
Speaker 3All right, I'm going to shake this up a little bit and I'm going to ask you what is the theme of the game?
Speaker 2Or creating a home.
Speaker 3Dinosaur Island.
Speaker 2Wrong.
Speaker 3Am I allowed to keep guessing without asking a question, or do I have to ask a question? I am creating a home, Okay. What is other than tile laying? What is another mechanic of the game?
Speaker 2Automatic resource growth, grid coverage modular board. Some of these things aren't mechanics or mechanisms, but race Rondell Okay.
Speaker 3Hold on.
Speaker 2Yes, so Chris does have a list of all the tile placement games we own, Because I had to take I try to make this easy so we could make our list of five tile placement games. So I had to break down our list of games by which ones have tile placement in it. You can ask another question. So you asked two questions already. So you asked a third question.
Speaker 3Is it nature themed?
Speaker 2Yes, yes, two questions.
Speaker 3New York Zoo.
Speaker 2You got it. Two points for Chris on that one. Two points, all right.
Speaker 3All right, is this the last one?
Speaker 2This is the last one so far. Do you want to know what you have so far? So far, you have 14 points.
Speaker 3Oh, out of 19,. Huh, possible 19, you said 16.
Speaker 216?.
Speaker 3Yeah, all right. Who are the pressures? Okay, this game that I'm going to be guessing Angie, who designed it?
Speaker 2Ube Rosenberg.
Speaker 3I so hope it is not patchwork. Is it patchwork? No, oh God, oh, that would have been like a kick to the teeth for me.
Speaker 2It's not patchwork.
Speaker 3He designed that, though right.
Speaker 2He did. He did a lot of tile placement games, so on that list he's got quite a few.
Speaker 3What is the theme of this game?
Speaker 2It's abstract, essentially.
Speaker 3Was it Nova Luna.
Speaker 2Yes, it's Nova Luna. You got three. You got three, so you did. Oh, what did I?
Speaker 3do. What did I do?
Speaker 2That can't be right.
Speaker 3That's more points than you said I could have got If I could get a max of five points for every question.
Speaker 2That would have been 16.
Speaker 3Five points per five.
Speaker 2Oh, I had five, five times five would have been the most.
Speaker 3Yes, dear.
Speaker 2I think originally I was thinking of doing this for three games, so 25. I'm sorry, 25 was the max points Five times three isn't even 16. Put in the bonus one. You didn't get the bonus question. Oh, okay, you didn't get the bonus question, so you got 19 points 18 out of 25, angie.
Speaker 3That is a better showing than I had during the last quiz, so I'll take it. That was actually a really good quiz.
Speaker 2Thank you Well, dave Matthews, dave Matthews, paula and the Murf Brothers.
Speaker 3And now it's my turn.
Speaker 2Ready.
Speaker 3Yeah, yeah, yeah. How do you make an ecosystem flourish? Just enough of every life form in the chain to supply you with the dinosaurs to dominate the lands. These are scares Everyone must survive. So moves must be cut like hangs in the belts In God's good dinosaur, a cheeky, wild and timeless. Take on science.
Speaker 2Okay, when he does it, though he doesn't.
Speaker 3Well, okay, hold on. I got to stop this music. I just accidentally stopped you when you were talking. Okay, I know, but when he does it, yeah, see he he but that's exactly the way he does it.
Speaker 2I don't know, that was pretty good, though Very good. Wow, wasn't that just an absolute blast. I mean, that's just a tiny glimpse into the treasure trove of quizzes that Angie and Chris treat you all to If this was your introduction to the world of meeple quizzes.
