jacqui_lantern234: platypus lays eggs and is a mammal
 Xavbull: an echidna is a marsupial!
  Juliamon: Monotremes are fucked up
 Heckhoundbolt: ecidna and platypus
 FacelessManAboutTown: Armadillos are mammals, let's play the game
Smurfykins: Think bunnies are cute? They literally reproduce in numbers to stave off extinction and can eat their own feces for sustenance :yuck:
 niccus: least weasel
warbosskat: heck yeah shoutout to armadillos
 QuixoticScrivener: My fiance is my favorite mammal!

 jacqui_lantern234: @FacelessManAboutTown a reader of cards 
 IbunWest: Ah. Victory points. Must be from Europe.
 NoxStryx: @rkk667 just have them all paint their nails to match their pieces
 MAPBoardgames: I played a game the other day that had VP but didn't use them to determine who wins. It was weird.

 NoxStryx: @mapboardgames did the V not stand for victory?
 jacqui_lantern234: just a lil guy
barbmitzvah: Lil' guy!
ChargingFurret: does the postal pidgeon take up space?
ChargingFurret: if you have the post office?
 FacelessManAboutTown: Such a cute bird
Chesul: each card (Asterisk)
 IbunWest: The Bluey symbol represents cute dogs.
 NoxStryx: All the cards (but 2) take up space
ChargingFurret: oh the harvester pair?
 NoxStryx: And the wanderer
 Mazrae: Yay just didn't miss too much
 tehfewl: i got a rock...
 Mazrae: Dude sweet rock ^
Chesul: There are also cards that "Take up a spot" but really don't, as you replace them with their own ability.
 NoxStryx: Yeah, it rocks
 IbunWest: A place where winter doesn't exist? Sign me up.
 Mazrae: Does anyone have paper to trade for rock, just got to watch out for scissors
 NoxStryx: The seasons all happen at the same time but you experience them atemporally
 MAPBoardgames: @NoxStryx The game was Stronghold. They were called 'glory points' they were to determine who won more. but not who won.
 saucemaster5000: someone let christopher nolan design the seasonal pacing in this universe
 Its_VeeBot: @MAPBoardgames I was about to make a very off-color joke and am restraining myself
 jacqui_lantern234: i know its his job, and that he's done this a lot, but im always fascinated at how Ben is at explaining board games
 FacelessManAboutTown: Is there a huge advantage to going first? 3 more cards seems like a lot
 saucemaster5000: (Ben is genuinely very good at explaining board games on stream, it's quite a skill)
 FacelessManAboutTown: He is very good
Shadowsoflife: ^
 NoxStryx: Yeah you get best choice at top spot
 jacqui_lantern234: @FacelessManAboutTown "taking actions first" is generally one of the better things to do in more games than not, from my experience
 FacelessManAboutTown: Yeah, that's just my magic brain taking over I guess "Wow, 5 is so many more than 8"
 NoxStryx: The meadow is basically a shared hand
 FacelessManAboutTown: 8 is so many more than 5 >_<
 Heckhoundbolt: They die and are buried
Smurfykins: How long is the typical game time of this game?
ChargingFurret: what does the open sign mean?
 saucemaster5000: I always love thinking of games like this with unbuilt tiles/cards representing buildings but not being built yet as sad architects holding their blueprints up in a line and hoping the mayor picks them
 NoxStryx: The artist formerly known as husband
Chesul: I've been popping in and out, did Ben mention the Open sign on the Post Office?
 IbunWest: 
 NoxStryx: @chesul i dont know that he did
 azninsect: "Union break"
Chesul: the "Open" signs are the one bit of iconography that I don't like in this game, they're too easy to miss.
 MAPBoardgames: "If someone visits, that's a win" Big same.
Smurfykins: How long would you say is the typical playtime of this game?
 FacelessManAboutTown: That seems sweet
 TheThirdTail: @Smurfykins Couple hours ish? It's not short, but probably won't drag
 NoxStryx: It is from the top
Smurfykins: Game night is about 3-4 hours
Smurfykins: whole night or less?
 TheThirdTail: Less
 TheThirdTail: Maybe the whole thing for the first time with learning
 saucemaster5000: for 3-4 hour game night I'd pair this with a short opener and call it there
ChargingFurret: @Smurfykins learning is probably longer so whole night for the first time should be close
Smurfykins: Cool thanks

Smurfykins: I love lamp
 shendaras: Was it last time that Serge didn't have any farms?  Or did he have all the farms?  I forget.
pryzum_: YES everdell is so good
 NoxStryx: The city grid is just a suggestion, you could lay them all out in a row, just makes it harder to know when you are out of space

 Heckhoundbolt: free toad
 FacelessManAboutTown: This seems very similar to Lords of Water Deep
 IbunWest: Oh players advance seasons individually
 NoxStryx: @facelessmanabouttown same genre-ish
 saucemaster5000: Definitely have played this with folks who, after one game, said "eh, there's not that many strategic builds." One game.
mexfire: Wat this
 Heckhoundbolt: serge has 3 hedgehogs
ChargingFurret: ben advanced his squirrel count instead
 saucemaster5000: Winter is coming.... depending on how fast various parts of westeros use their resources
pryzum_: ideal play: farm -> gatherer for 2 berries -> harvester for free off farm
 NoxStryx: This game does have a problem of "pretty over easy to understand" sometimes
 NoxStryx: See also the open signs on cards
Rynehawk: BERRIES AND CREAM BERRIES AND CREAM
 NoxStryx: And the giant tree that makes the bonus cards be above all the players eye level
 saucemaster5000: It
 saucemaster5000: aw parnets
cheshire_creeper: all card games should have at least one cute little guy in a hat
 NoxStryx: @cheshire_creeper should someone make a "Cute Little Guys in Hats" TCG?
frogomb: Mice in hats can't be beat. Probably why Mouseguard is my favorite comic.
 NoxStryx: Barge Toad sounds like it could be a legit name for a species of toad.
 saucemaster5000: One rock went on to be a wreslter
penutbuster138: !String&Stickman
 DarkMorford: I dunno, "Bolero" could be a cool name for a game
 niccus: you can't just squirrel storm on mouse
 serramarkov: idk, one rock did quite a number on the dinosaurs...
IsSecretlyPaul: damn dungeons warping another format is there nowhere safe
penutbuster138: !TheWanderer
 Heckhoundbolt: can you put the tree on the card reader
ChargingFurret: courthouse busto early
 kusinohki: meows
 CururuGuasu: Minneapolis is a series of tubes
CaptnCheesebeard: That's a literal pigeonhole he got there...
 Heckhoundbolt: oh, unique means you can only have one. I understand
 Heckhoundbolt: Thought it meant only one in the deck
 tehfewl: save some wives for the rest of us
 Heckhoundbolt: SERGE YOU MONSTER
ChargingFurret: I think it is net positive, the crane was 1 stone only
 Earthenone: who knew two bens could be similar
 saucemaster5000: Ever* Tree
Chesul: it can be net positive, but not by enough to outweigh the points the tree gives.
 Kramburger: Cranes for games
Chesul: as the tree on its own is worth 6 points.
 Sethalidos: listen, some Snerge's just wanna watch the world burn, okay?
ChargingFurret: yeah, it's net resource, but not +6 points
laundreydhull: I heard innkeeper & somehow honed in on A Charlie Brown Christmas
 Dog_of_Myth: So Serge found the Dredge deck somehow. 
 NoxStryx: Evertree is unique you can only have 1 at a time
Chesul: there's not 4 of each card, there are only 2 shepherds, and only 1 Evertree in the deck I believe.
 WiJohn: Sure...
Chesul: I think there's only 2 of a fair number of cards, but shepherds are the one I remember easily, since it hit me hard one game.
 SeaDiegoFC: Damn it's been an hour already?
  Juliamon: Time flies when you're enjoying a good game
 SeaDiegoFC: Indeed!
 saucemaster5000: Good game, got wings and tots in the fryer, making a lil salad -- good wednesday
 NoxStryx: @chesul looks like thier is at least 2 of every card
 NoxStryx: Fool x 2     Ranger x 2     Undertaker x 2     Shepherd x 2     Bard x 2     Postal Pigeon x 3     Wanderer x 3     Ruins x3
 NoxStryx: Chip Sweep x 3     Mine x 3     Miner Mole x 3     Monk x 2     Doctor x 2     Resin Refinery x 3     Peddler x 3     Teacher x 3     Husband x 4     Twig Barge x 3     Woodcarver x 3     Storehouse x 3     Farm x 8     General Store x 3     Barge Toad x 3     Fairgrounds x3
 NoxStryx: University x 2  Post Office x 2  Monastery x 2  Cemetery x 2  Queen x 2  Inn x 3  Chapel x 2  Lookout x 2
 saucemaster5000: For everything else there's mastercard
 FacelessManAboutTown: 
 FacelessManAboutTown: Whatever LRR paid to commission their music, it was money well spent
 NoxStryx: Historian x 3 Judge x 2 Courthouse x 2 Dungeon x 2 Shopkeeper x 2 Clock Tower x 3 Innkeeper x 3 Crane x 3
 NoxStryx: Architect x 2 Wife x 4 Ever Tree x 2 Theater x 2 King x 2 School x 2 Castle x 2 Palace x 2
ChargingFurret: so only harvester and gatherer are 4x?
 NoxStryx: And Farm is 8 of
 NoxStryx: Most commons are 3-of, most unique are 2-of
 NoxStryx: The season change to summer is supposed to clear out the Meadow, but this game SOME PEOPLE had full hands so less cards were taken
 Heckhoundbolt: Is the undertaker a bug?
 James_the_Dabbler: Serge “premier graveyard pilot in the format” Yaeger
 NoxStryx: @heckhoundbolt yeah i think it is a dung beetle
 NoxStryx: Or maybe some sort of carrion beetle would make more sense
 Heckhoundbolt: "If you take that undertaker, he will be burying you"
 dumbo3k: Hello Frank
AtrusOfMyst: *in Bale Batman voice* "This city.... Just showed you ... What an optimal Everdell turn looks like..."
 NoxStryx: Always try to wife before husband
 NoxStryx: The King...Has Arrived
CaptnCheesebeard: Serge becomes the Monarch.
 NoxStryx: But then you have to remember to achive events, which people forget to do
ChargingFurret: what does to an opponent mean on the sheperd?
 NoxStryx: Free-king ehh
pryzum_: who's gettin fooled
ChargingFurret: the sheperd has to an opponent on its cost, wanted to know what it means
IsSecretlyPaul: just make the joke louder
pryzum_: @ChargingFurret if u aren't playing it for free off of your chapel, then to play it u have to give 3 berries to an opponent (rather than back to storage like usual)
 Heckhoundbolt: Oh I think the Shepard you pay to an opponent
ChargingFurret: @ChargingFurret oh! thanks
 NoxStryx: @chargingfurret his cost is giving away 3 berries to another player instead of to the bank
brunomant_: You cant serge, its an unique critter
 saucemaster5000: Where the Zig a Zig Ha card?
IsSecretlyPaul: who voted for the mouse to be the king
IsSecretlyPaul: That beetle should be king
 NoxStryx: Serge cant build it
pryzum_: LOL
 NoxStryx: Matt can
El_Funko: Love a Rat King
 Heckhoundbolt: @IsSecretlyPaul This a monarchy. We do not have elections
pryzum_: thats one hot rat
 NoxStryx: @heckhoundbolt ladies lying about in lakes distributing swords is no basis for a system of government
 NoxStryx: If you get university early it can be STUPID good
 NoxStryx: Send all your pidgeons to school!
 saucemaster5000: This is why we don't let royalty be educated about anything
 NoxStryx: School Pidgeons
 Heckhoundbolt: "I have been educated, Monarchy is bad!" - Last Emperor of China after being "educated" by the Soviets
IsSecretlyPaul: you see wood is used to make things and thats funny because creating things is laughable in the face of the ever encroaching void of time
 Heckhoundbolt: can be used to make monuments to man's folly or sheds
 Shparky2197: Shall we make a monument to Fans Molly?
 GredGredmansson: also we sell lumbar stuff
 Heckhoundbolt: Didn't Ben have this problem last time?
 Heckhoundbolt: where he had a town with no one
 niccus: whose card is it anyways
 PMAvers: Ben “Lemongrab” Ulmer
 Heckhoundbolt: SHEPARD NO! DON'T GO TO BEN'S TOWN
 saucemaster5000: Ben lives in a magical world
BanditoHorse: bad news but shepherds eat sheep
 Heckhoundbolt: I mean... they usually dont
 LithelyUnshod: Ben has The Duke
IsSecretlyPaul: if a cemetery is so good how come they didn't make a cemetery 2
 Heckhoundbolt: you need 4
 saucemaster5000: they made a pet cemetery 2
 saucemaster5000: and a remake
 Larkonus: Move to the Not-Cheat step?
 DeM0nFiRe: Chexpert (they are really good at breakfast cereal)
 FacelessManAboutTown: Lesser known sequel: the king's gambit, didn't last as long

 NoxStryx: Serge could have done it in a different order, drawn 2, gave one away, drawn another. Which is technically better card selection
 BrowneePoints: are the lads having fun?
 NoxStryx: The historian is there to keep track of how all the bindle sack folk ended up in the dungeon
 Heckhoundbolt: Oh cool. Ben's town is a horror story
 saucemaster5000: His world is a vampire
 saucemaster5000: And despite all his rage he is still just a rat in a dungeon
 Earthenone: can ben claim the cartogrophers even with all his dead and or jailed animals

 Heckhoundbolt: Unique building, not common buildings
 NoxStryx: I just noticed the most popular Forest location this game is rather phallic
   LoadingReadyRun:  is Ben's town basically Yharnam from Bloodborne? Empty streets with everyone too scared to come out, and one old historian who warns travelers to stay away
 GhostofJeffGoldblum: @LoadingReadyRun dear god
 Heckhoundbolt: @LoadingReadyRun Sounds about right
jibkat: whats the d1 town name?
jibkat: Stay awhile and listen
 Earthenone: Tristram
jibkat: thats it!
 BrowneePoints: it's also the D2 town name
 BrowneePoints: and the D3 town name
jibkat: I have good news for Ben's franchise but bad news for their town...
   LoadingReadyRun: The property values in Tristram have really taken a beating
jibkat: You mean I could afford a home?! 
jibkat: Fire sale you say?
 GhostofJeffGoldblum: @LoadingReadyRun both literally and figuratively
Chesul: I believe you can send as many people on a journey as you want, but each one takes a space and you need enough cards to discard.
 BrowneePoints: speaking of Horror, that Alan Wake 2 trailer was neat. Also, Oct 17 release date. WOO
ChargingFurret: isn't the evertree unique?
ChargingFurret: so ben sadly cant have two 
 Earthenone: the "plan" was to blow up the tree with ruins first
 Heckhoundbolt: is the prison full?
7ukanda: She's so lovely.
 BrowneePoints: This game is enough like Wingspan that Wheeler is in his Wheelhouse
 saucemaster5000: Hang on -- those prisoners are paying less rent than the people in tristram!
 Heckhoundbolt: we tried to warn you Shepherd
 GhostofJeffGoldblum: ah, my favorite Radiohead album
 Heckhoundbolt: phd in books?
 saucemaster5000: With a minor in zines
 vaelhellion: wouldn't the minor be in Letters?
 Heckhoundbolt: Miner
 saucemaster5000: 
 Heckhoundbolt: nevermind, I am a derp
 Heckhoundbolt: Oh thank goodness, a permenant resident
 Heckhoundbolt: who builds more empty buldings
 WiJohn: I mean the pigeon is the most permanent of residents
 saucemaster5000: maybe he's more of a city planner

 SnowBunSarah: I show up, and all of a sudden Ben's talking about killing people
  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, SnowBunSarah! (Today's storm count: 24)
 Earthenone: yes, to "visit"
 WiJohn: Meanwhile in Ben's city FromSoft intensifies
 SnowBunSarah: @Earthenone "Visit" there to take a very long rest
 saucemaster5000: the architect does sound like a bloodborne boss
 Heckhoundbolt: you can ruin the cemetry when it you are done with it
 Heckhoundbolt: faq time?
 saucemaster5000: I really hope you don't get a person back from digging up a cemetery...
 saucemaster5000: If you do, run
 WiJohn: Ooh hey look it's the protagonist first entering the haunted city!

 Heckhoundbolt: The Judge or the Queen. The king is not allowed to touch the tax records anymore
 Heckhoundbolt: not after last time
 SnowBunSarah: Look, that fire was NOT his fault
Chesul: found the ruling for using ruins on a cemetery. the worker is discarded along with the card. incidentally, if you ruins a card with a worker on it that's not there permanently the worker get put on the ruins till you change seasons.
Chesul: or regain them some other way*
 Heckhoundbolt: "well boss, the building collapsed while I was in it"
Chesul: it's so you can't get extra actions by putting workers on a card, then using a ruins on it.
   LoadingReadyRun:  That makes sense, the faq says the same thing about the University "If you discard a card with a permanent worker on it, place that worker on the University permanently instead"
 Heckhoundbolt: "We built the University on a graveyard, what do we do with the body." "Put it in the basement"
 saucemaster5000: oh no, lose your job, become a faculty member for the rest of your life teaching your failures
