0:00.0	Hello everybody and welcome to the 65th episode of a podcast that is a celebration that
0:14.0	is about board games. If you're not aware, board games are really good, card games are
0:18.2	really good, role playing games and party games are really really good, they're undergoing
0:22.1	a renaissance. I am so excited, I can't hide it, my name is Quentin Smith and I am on the
0:28.3	line to Paul Dean who is a man who also cannot and has never been able to hide it. How's it going,
0:35.2	Paul? I've never had an introduction like that before, it's going fine, thank you.

1:37.6	for the benefit of people who may not yet have seen the video or know much about it, just
1:42.8	an order of a starter, an appetizer, a taster. Well, the way I put it is, you know those sort of
1:50.3	shouting-froid headlines where a footballer will drive their Ferrari into a ditch. And you know,
1:58.4	everyone's okay, but it's like, yeah, they bought a fancy car and they, and what did they do with it?
2:04.1	They drove it into a ditch. Well, the first Martians is kind of like that. It is absolutely beautiful.
