Good evening you are listening to Three Moves Head, and I'm your host Rob Zakeney.

Tonight, we welcome 3MA founder, Troy Goodfellow.

It is very nice to be back.

And we also welcome freelance writer and tabletop of Sanato, John Bolding.

Howdy, howdy.

Troy, I know that you're the 3MA founder, but I think we're all founders this week.

We are all

captains of industry. We're entrepreneurs. We've gone back to the year, to the year

1800, which I guess literally the title, Ano-1800, the latest entry in the long-running

city builder series, and we've all been really getting stuck in with building industrial revolution era, period, infrastructure, businesses, and engaging, at least in the campaign, in some sort of fraught politics of the period, albeit in a very storybook fashion.

Let's see, before we dive into, because John, I know that when you first started playing this,

you were starting to get a little hot under the collar about some of the, some of the

presentation choices that have been made here, about some of the ways they've framed a few

things. But before we get into, into all of that, let's just set the stage here, you know,

broadly speaking, what is ANO-1800 and what is, you know, if you're just joining us, what is an ANO game as opposed to a city builder like city skylines?

It's a good question because this is, I guess, to my chagrin, I'm admitting something here.

I've never played an ANO game until this one.

Oh, not even once.

Oh, wow.

So, yeah.

It just wasn't part of my experience.

So should I take that question?
