Tom Vassal unfortunately Sam wasn't able to make it today, but I think that we'll be okay because we have a lot of good material, including interview with the designer of my favorite game of all time, of ages coming up so we're really looking

forward to that I just got done playing a few games just one called

econos which is a game about economic buying and selling in a stock market.

At the same time, it's mixed with a bit of area control and it was interesting, but it was dry as anything.

I drab was the word I used it's an interesting concept nice

mechanics but I mean I didn't want to play the game for a while just because it

looks so poor poorly done.

So that's one, I don't know.

I'm going to say it's a decent game, and I was very pleased I felt like I want it because I

use Superior Strategy, but at the same time the drab theme

just is really driving me away from the game. Also play Tamsk which is a

wonderful two-player abstract game that uses timers. A great game, or at least a very unique theme.

I don't think I'd want timers as pieces in every abstract game. In fact, I think this is the only one I would, you know, I'm glad to have this unique game.

But I also won that, someone kind of a winning streak.

Well, we'd like to thank our sponsors.
