Nobody needs to know about myacid reflux.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
So do we start over.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
No.
Oh okay, no, why not?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I'll just do some editing.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
You don't need to do editing.
I've heard stranger things inpodcasts and people talking
about their acid reflux.
Okay, so let's get into this.
Chris, let's get into this.
Here's a very interesting,interesting fact that I just
learned just before I startedrecording.
My advice to everybody thatdoes any sort of Instagram
(01:40):
TikTok reels please listen tothe music before you attach it
to your video.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I wasn't even going to bring this up.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Why not?
Why not?
I created an Instagram.
I was just creating some reelsand I did one about the game
After Us that we played and Iused the music and it was
something else that had a littlebit of cursing in it, and I am
just saying I am glad you foundout so quickly so I could delete
(02:10):
it, and only one personhappened to like that reel.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah, All I had to do is listen to the reel for half
a second and said Angie, are yousure you want?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
to have music.
I just got it up there.
I never listened to it, neverdid anything.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
See note to self Angie.
Just because it's trendingdoesn't mean you should use it
as a reel.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Nope, nope.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
And for all you aspiring Instagram reel makers
out there, take it from theexperts on what not to do.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
There you go.
We're not the experts aboutanything else.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
We're the experts about what not to do.
There you go.
We're not the experts aboutanything else.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
We're the experts about what not to do?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yes, Don't listen to us on rules, game rules.
Don't listen to us on anythingreally.
Yeah, just listen to us forpure entertainment yes, and
speaking of pure entertainment,and it is quiz time.
(03:20):
Oh, you know what?
This is pure entertainment.
It's pure entertainment for theMeeple Chasers.
It is pure entertainment for me, angie, and you know who else?
Speaker 4 (03:29):
it's pure entertainment for Because this
quiz.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
The subject was sent to me by one of our listeners.
It was sent to me by MissKaylin from Vicksburg,
mississippi.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Hey, kaylin from Vicksburg, Mississippi.
Oh, hey, Kaylin.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, miss Kaylin, and that's the way she signed
her email, miss Kaylin.
So, miss Kaylin, Miss Kaylinfrom Vicksburg, mississippi, and
yeah, she gave me theinspiration behind the quiz.
I should say that Notcompletely, but we had been
chatting and so she gave me theinspiration behind this quiz
(04:09):
because I told her I did tellher what we had been playing and
we are going to get to Gakpan alittle bit later, so that's
what inspired this.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Awesome.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
She kind of thought the potato quiz was rather funny
.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Don't tell me all the meeple chasers are just going
to start sending in like random.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Well, you know what this is interesting?
One of the suggestions I gotpertains to a podcast we did a
long time ago.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Really.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
It's a reference to something and I completely
forgot how it came into theconversation.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
So I need to search, because she did not know which
podcast it was from.
So I literally have to gosearch podcasts and listen to
them all over until I find whatthe reference pertained to.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Well, that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
So I felt kind of bad because when she mentioned the
comment, I'm like, yeah, Ibriefly remember that.
But okay, I'm going to be on mydrives to work and stuff, I'm
going to be listening to somechasing meeples.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Well, there's worse things to listen to yes, there
are.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Are you ready?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
I'm ready.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I'm ready.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I am ready Now.
This quiz is inspired by Kaylin, or did she give you it?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
is Well, we had this.
Well, we had been.
Actually, we had been goingback and forth on games we had
been playing.
Oh okay, so we've been talking,and then I mentioned what games
we had been playing, because wehad been playing a lot of games
during weeknights, and so shegave me the inspiration, thought
, hey, you know what you shoulddo, xyz.
And so it is Quiz Zoo, ooh,quiz Zoo, ooh Quiz Zoo.
(05:46):
So that can kind of give you anidea of what game we had
recently played.
So maybe you remember a littlebit from this game.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Okay, I'm sure I do.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
On the cover of Ark Nova there is a picture of eight
animals.
Yes, there is one point foreach animal that you can name.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Oh what?
This is coming out the gateruthless Eight animals.
Eight animals On the cover ofArk Nova All right Elephant.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Elephant you got one Tiger.
Tiger.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Tiger Lion, lion Giraffe.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
No giraffe, See.
Now we have to stop.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Because you got a wrong answer.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Oh, you're just cutting me off.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I'm cutting you off yeah, oh boy, actually it said
that here in my script.
We stop when you answerincorrectly.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
You should probably give me those rules before I
answer the question.
I should?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I should, but you know what?
I would hope that you were thentrying to answer correctly
anyway, no.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I was because I specifically think I remember in
my mind's eye a giraffe.
Do you want to know what theother ones are?
Not only do I want to know, I'msure all the listeners want to
know.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
So you said elephant, tiger and lion.
Yes, there's also a bear, acrane.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
There was a bird.
I was going gonna say somethingelse, but there's a parrot ah
see, I wouldn't said that aturtle, no, and a monkey and it
was like that little, like furrymonkey, I think the ones that
swing yeah at the zoo I neverwould have gotten that.
That was.
I'm just happy that I got threepoints off of that.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
yep, three points, yep, all right.
Next one the shape of the breaktoken in ARK Nova is a shape of
what?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Well, that's easy.
The shape is of one of thegreatest.
It's a vessel.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Can you just say it?
What kind of vessel is it?
Or do you not know?
It's a coffee cup.
Okay.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
All right, it's one of my favorite things in life.
Not a cup, but what goes in thecup?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Okay, all right, and this is a multiple choice
question.
The next one coming up Ark Novahas 212 zoo cards.
They consist of both animalcards and sponsor cards.
How many of these cards areanimal cards?
108, 128 of them, 168 of them,or 198 of those cards?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
198.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
No, oh, come on, the answer is 128.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Oh well 120.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Because then the Zoot there would only be it would
have been half.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Is it like half and half?
What's the total?
It's 212.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Oh, okay, so all right.
Now we get to one of thefavorite questions how many
games on BGG are titled?
Just the word zoo One?
This is multiple choice.
Okay, one, five, 11, or 19.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
With zoo in the title .
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Just zoo, just zoo, just the word zoo 1, 5, 11, or
19?
.
Yes, 5.
You got that correct.
You got that correct.
You know what?
I didn't really want to count,as many games there were that
had zoo in the title.
It was like, well, okay, forgetit, there's probably.
It was way over 15.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Way over 15.
Way over 15.
Maybe 16.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Maybe, okay, are you ready?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Now we're moving off the board game.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Here we go.
So what?
2016 animated movie starred abunny cop and a Fox Connors.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Fox Conn artist.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Fox Conn artist.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I feel like it.
I feel like it's that movie wewatched together, but I don't
recall there being a bunny copin it a police officer which
makes me want to go towardsanother movie.
(10:47):
This is how I process stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Don't give me that look don't overdo it, no I'm
going the main characters inthis were a fox and a bunny yeah
, it's the okay.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
So then it's not the one we watched together, it's
the one animated yes, it's theone that b-man lego boy likes so
much, and I cannot, for thelife of me, think of what it's
called well, we do have a quizabout zoo, oh, well, come on now
(11:24):
.
You had to say that Zootopia.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Zootopia, you're right.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Never seen that movie at all, never seen.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Gabe watched it.
I've never watched it.
I don't watch movies with you.
You have watched it.
Yes, you have, because I had toask you the whole thing about
the mayor and the lion in themovie, because there's a mayor
that keeps all the animals incages.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Never watched that movie?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Yes, you did, and they were drugging all the
animals to make them go crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
That's not the movie.
That's Zootopia, that's a fanfilm of the movie.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
That's not the real movie.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
No, that is not Really.
Really, gabe was watching a fanfilm of the movie.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I thought that was the movie Gabe was actually
watching B-Man Lego Boy no Fanfilm.
That was the movie.
That wasn't the movie.
That was not the movie.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I am pretty sure that is not the movie, pretty sure
that is not the plot line ofZootopia.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
That the mayor was poisoning all the animals so
they would go crazy.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's not the actual plot line
to Zootopia.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Oh, we're going to have to watch it no-transcript.
And so she hopped the bus, wentto the big city and that's got
to be.
Oh, now we got to watchZootopia.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
I don't know.
We're going to have to watch it.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
The answer to the question is still the same.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
The answer is still Zootopia.
Yes.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
All right, all right, ok, I don't give you a point
for that.
I don't know, I had your point,that's just.
No, I'm blown away, I'm blownaway.

(20:40):
And now it's time to start.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Are you ready?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
You don't need to ask if I'm ready.
I'm always ready to talk aboutthe games Angie and Chris play
at night Gakpan.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Gakpan, gakpan.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Angie mentioned earlier that we've been getting
a lot of after dinner games in,and part of that is because,
well, I'm still unemployed.
I've gotten way more rejectionletters than I can count and
it's a little frustrating.
However, do have a lead on apotential job.
(21:22):
Got an on-site interview comingup soon, so, meeple Chasers,
wish me luck.
By the time this is published,I'll probably have already had
that interview.
Next episode you will find out.
Cliffhanger for you All right.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
So, that being said, Well, here, Chris, let me ask
you a question.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yes, Angie.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
So if you get a job in the next week and there was a
lot of things you could do withthis time off, can you say that
you have accomplished thosethings?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
No, okay.
Why do you say that?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
I'm just looking around here at the podcast desk.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Oh, so I okay If we're going to go there and do
that, so awesome therapy that wedo while the meeple chasers
listen.
I had really good intentionswith organizing this room.
I bought contractor garbagebags to take out some of the big
(22:27):
things that I don't even wantto look at anymore, just get rid
of it.
But there's like there's like aleg massager thing that I
bought and that whole thingcould fit in one contractor bag.
So Facebook marketplace.
I don't even know if I want toput it there.
So, so, yeah, so there's that,but anyway, you know what?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
It's perfect for another episode of board games
and banter, where I bring outuseless things that we have
never used, that we bought andnever returned to the store.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
You haven't done one of those in a very long time on
our YouTube channel.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
The lighting was really bad, but I thought that
was rather entertaining.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Yeah, that was good.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
I did have people follow along about my journey
into finding good acrylic fakenails.
I think I did show everybodythat we had a plunger that we
bought and never returned to thestore.
Here's the ironic thing, chriswe're using it now.
We are using that plunger.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Yes, so, to get back on to your original question did
I accomplish everything that Iset out to or things that I
could have done while I was off?
If I get a job, no, I feel likethere's more stuff I could have
done, but did I do what matters?
Yes, gabe is loving having hisdad home.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
He is.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
And I'm getting some well-needed dad and Gabe time.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yes, you are.
This morning, when you were onthe phone with your phone
interview, he's downstairslooking for you and I was so
afraid he was going to start todo that stairway knock.
He does when he wants ourattention.
When we're up here, you hearthis little knock on the wall of
our stairs and I'm like, no, no, no, daddy's on the phone.
(24:10):
He'll be down in a little while.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Yeah, I love that kid so much.
Did we get enough podcasts orgames played?
Speaker 2 (24:19):
No, absolutely not.
That's really kind of what I.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
I know that's what you meant.
We should have been recordingepisode after episode after
episode after episode.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
You know, here's kind of the crazy thing I was off of
work during the pandemic andyou were not.
And I know I think I've saidthis before, but there's this
time that sometimes you havethat you could start a hobby,
Because we really didn't start.
A lot of people startedpodcasts during the pandemic.
We didn't.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
We waited until like two years after.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Yeah, we waited until after.
So I did afterwards think about, you know, I had this time.
What did I do with my time?
Why did I not, you know, dosomething useful, learn to knit
or crafts and stuff?
I've had time in my life where,suddenly, you know, the time's
gone by and it was like, youknow, I could have really done
(25:09):
something, not even beneficial,but just maybe learned a skill
learned a skill yeah, it's howto sew my own pants, and you
know.
And bringing it back, Chris,bringing it back.
We have been playing games atnight.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
So let's start.
Well, obviously, we had a quizabout a zoo, and one of the
questions was Ark Nova.
Ark Nova is just.
It is so good.
It is a game that will alwaysbe remembered in my mind.
I will never forget our firstplaythrough of that game.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
I think it took us four hours to get through the
first play.
But you know that didn'tdiscourage us.
I would think sometimes thatlength of a game might
discourage us, and it did not.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
If I'm ever playing it, yeah, I mean I don't think
so, because we played it againthe very next day.
Yeah, we went on a run where weplayed that game for a while
and I mean we brought it with us, we brought it to the con, the
Phoenix con, I enjoy, like theengine building, yeah, but it's
not.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
You know, I just really enjoy that game.
I'm not really sure what it isabout the game and obviously it
is the actions.
It's the way you select theactions.
I think that really set itapart.
(26:46):
It's so interesting the way youhave those five cards.
You know it's your association,your animals, your buildings
cards.
So when you decide, you laythem out in front of you.
When you decide which one youwant to play, it's all dependent
on what order.
So you have the strongerabilities with those cards,
(27:11):
depending if they're further inthe order, and that's really
interesting.
You play it and then you swingit back to the beginning and
there are instances in therewhere you can flip them over and
make them even stronger.
So that game mechanic, I think,is not shared in any other game
that I know of.
All right.
(27:32):
So let's talk about the nextgame that we played, which is
something I referred to earlierin my oopsie on Instagram After
Us.
I know we have talked aboutAfter Us before, but for anybody
that has not heard that or hasnot played the game, it is a fun
(27:52):
, fun game with Vincent Dutre.
Art After Us takes place after asort of apocalyptic scene.
We're not really sure.
There's no backstory with it,there's just no people, there's
just apes, and these apes aregoing to use leftover human
technology to build acivilization for themselves.
(28:14):
They have a starting tribe.
They're going to create acolony with different forms of
apes.
There is one that is not an ape, it is a monkey and you use now
.
This also has a very interestingway.
It's got.
It's a deck builder.
But when you build your deck,you're laying out your tribe in
(28:37):
front of you, which is fourcards, and you are trying to
close cells.
And as you close your cells,you're going to go along your
rows and you get whateverresources are inside the closed
cells.
So the strategy in this game isessentially how you lay your
cards together, because eachcard obviously has different
(29:00):
portions of the cells and if youlay them together, you're going
to get different resourceabilities and after your round,
going through and getting yourresources if you have enough
they're like fruit and, I think,wheat, and then you can also
(29:21):
get some batteries at resourcesyou get to buy yourself another
ape card and that's how you'rebuilding your deck.
And there's also a way ofthinning your deck by rage, and
I usually never use thatmechanic, and I did use it this
last time.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Yes, so I was usually using the rage you were the
rage.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Since then, we played .
Yes, you were.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Which I did not use last time, but you were using
rage when we played yes, youwere which I did not use last
time, but you were using it alot I did.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
I used it a couple times, not a lot, but I did use
it a couple times because Istarted to realize that I am I,
for some reason I'm like cards,more cards, more cards.
It always seems to be thebetter idea.
Okay, I'm getting really,really strong cards.
You know, and I know this.
You know, I know this that ifyou have a deck with really
strong cards but you can't getto them, they're really kind of
(30:07):
pointless.
So I was doing that thinningthe deck, and you know what I
think of the game that finallygot me to really think about
that or realize how valuable itis is Meek Heroes, victory,
because in that game there are acouple occasions where you can
(30:30):
thin the deck and so seeing howvaluable that is to the mechanic
, the battling action in there,made me really realize okay, I
can use this in other gameswithout losing something.
I always use this in othergames without you know losing
something.
I always feel like you'relosing something when you thin
your deck, but you're not.
So that is After Us.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
And if you want to hear more about that game,
september of 2023, angie and Iput out a episode called Chasing
Lorcana and our review of AfterUs.
We go a little bit deeper intothat game Well, as deep as we go
into that game, but no, thatgame is great.
I still think that mechanic,where you're putting the puzzle
(31:17):
together and the two pieces, issuper unique.
I really enjoy the game andyeah, so if you want to hear
more about my opinion on thegame, give it a listen.
And another game which I noticeis not on the list that you
have is Paladins of the WestKingdom.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Oh, you know what I think?
Speaker 1 (31:38):
I made this list up before we played it.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Before we played it.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
So Paladins of the West Kingdom, awesome game,
awesome game.
Took a little bit to rememberhow to play the game, but I
think once it came back to us,we were rocking and rolling and
getting through it.
And it just so happens to belike a lot of the podcasts that
I've been listening to lately.
They've been mentioning theGarfield games and it got me in
(32:05):
the mood to want to play.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
And normally my go-to game.
It used to be Raiders of theNorth Sea and then it became
Architects of the West Kingdom,but I was just really in the
mood to play paladins andsurprises me because it's a
little bit heavier, a little bitmore euro-ish than like raiders
.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Yeah, I think you like that battling, almost
battling element of raiders.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
So yeah, I just know I'm glad you chose it.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
I'm glad we played it again.
Um, I really like the game.
There is a lot like minigarfield.
There's a lot of avenues towinning that game.
There's a lot of different waysto win.
There's so many, you knowbuilding your walls, so there's
a lot of ways to win.
So it's a good strategy game.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
I will say there's a rules controversy in the last
game that we had, so Angie didtake the win.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Oh, angie did take the win oh.
Angie did take the win Becausewe actually tied.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Oh yeah, we did tie.
You're right, it was 34 to 34.
I got the tiebreaker, butthat's you got the tiebreaker,
but I technically should havehad one more point.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
No, no, no, but I graciously See there is not a.
It was not a rules Rules pointno, no, no, but I see there is
not.
It was not a rules rulescontroversy?
Speaker 1 (33:28):
no, it's not controversy.
We just played it wrong.
One of us played it wrong andyou didn't catch it I didn't
catch it, no so because I wasn'tI with paladins and like a lot
of games like that.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
You have to concentrate on what you're doing
.
Yeah, I don't normally lookover at your board and that's
when I realized you had, becauseyou did.
You were really.
I looked over at one point andyour strength was so high I'm
like you're cheating somehow.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
But I wasn't intentionally you weren't
cheating Right.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
And then I looked over and sure enough, you had.
I don't know what was it called, it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
It's where you get the pots.
Was it Absolve?
It wasn't.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Absolve.
That's it.
It was Absolve, absolve, yeah,and I realized that the numbers
on the pots, because everythingelse you had to compare numbers,
you had to compare strengths,and I realized Absolve didn't
have that.
And then I looked at the potsand they were all numbered.
Duh, that must be what youcompare.
(34:30):
You know, because each one islike you compare your black to
your red.
Yeah, then it dawned on me andyou were already when I looked
at you, because you were upthere.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Oh, I was absolving like a madman you were.
I was doing so good.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
And you know what you did not?
I don't think you were doing ituntil I mentioned the bonuses,
that the way that iconographywas is that you get one bonus,
but then you always get a bonusof getting rid of a thief card,
Thief card, yeah yeah.
And then it seemed to be likeyou're like oh, I said, well,
(35:09):
look at the iconography, that'swhat it says.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
And then you start going yeah and rules,
controversy still.
Hey, did you ever look up therule to see if I was truly
playing it wrong?
No, I didn't look it up, sowhat Angie is saying that I need
to do, and I didn't either.
So so in my mind I did it rightand I graciously let you not
give me that bonus point and Ishould have won that game.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
No, actually you did it so many times that I'm sure
there were more points that youshould have not gotten, Probably
Because we agreed that okay,that you would stop where you
were taking points for that, butwe never took points away from
you.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
Yes, sue, twice in one episode.
So I'm going to spare all ofyou the next 10 minutes of this
episode, because I literallyargued with Angie for about 10
minutes about this rule.
And here's the rule I shouldnot have been able to absolve
(36:22):
any higher than what I was onthe influence track.
So that is the blue track.
So Angie was right.
And now on to the next game.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
All right, so I win, technically won that game.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
What?
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Oh, this is what happens when you record a
podcast.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Let's just, let's just go on, just go on.
We got a couple more games tohit too.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Okay, so the next game that we played is a game
that we actually talked aboutrecently on our top Phil Walker
Harding games episode, and thatis Summer Camp.
I just absolutely love thisgame.
This game is pure.
It's simple.
I'm not going to go too muchinto it After we recorded that
(37:14):
episode.
That's why I wanted to play it.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Really.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Got me thinking about the game and it got me wanting
to play it.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
So I like the decks.
I like that there's severaldecks that you can use and they
can mix and match, and I meanthere's quite a few decks I
think there's like eightdifferent ones, yes, and those
decks represent the activitiesthat you play in the summer camp
.
So that's what I like.
I think that's neat.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Yeah, I like that game Not going to spend too much
time talking about it, but it'sa good game.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
It's a good game.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Then All right, angie , here's a question I have for
you.
So the other game that we got achance to play and I believe
you picked it not that it meansanything, but surprisingly I
didn't pick it was the Star Wars, clone Wars game, and that is a
it's a pandemic system game.
And we played it.
(38:08):
He just got smashed.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
We did.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
By the villain, and I can't even remember who we were
playing against.
Oh, it was Grievous, generalGrievous.
Oh, he smoked us.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
He did that.
He did that, he did.
But you know I have did that hedid.
But, you know, I have no ideawhy I chose that game.
I'm going to tell you thehonest truth.
It just literally popped upthat I went oh, what about Clone
Wars?
You go, yeah, Because we don'tdo well with co-op games.
Let's be honest.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Why.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
One of us is a little bit of an alpha gamer.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
And that's you.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
Yeah, no, what are you talking about?
You know, when we playedPandemic Legacy, you paced
around the table and you weresweating.
You sat there.
When it was my turn, you got upfrom the table and you paced in
front of me.
You were like psychicallytrying to send the vibes of what
(39:18):
you thought I should move,where I should go, and it was
tense, it was frustrating andit's probably the reason why we
only got to the 12th month andwe never finished, because the
idea of us losing would havebeen so extreme To think that we
actually lost and we lost theentire world.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
It hurt, I couldn't bring myself.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
We didn't finish, so we don't know if we lost yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
That doesn't mean I'm an alpha gamer.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
And you know, the other thing that was interesting
about that game is it was thefirst time we destroyed anything
in a game.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Yeah, I did not like that.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
And you cringed.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
I did not like that.
I wanted to just like tuck itunderneath Like literally, you
didn't want to watch.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
It's like you had to turn around and you're like do
it, go ahead and do it.
Yeah, the card.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
The card.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Yeah Well, that hurts , it was wrong.
It was wrong to me at thatpoint in time in my life and I
didn't like it.
But I want to address thisAlpha Gamer comment.
I don't feel like I'm an AlphaGamer, I feel like you are the
(40:31):
Alpha Gamer gamer how in theworld you know you're lying I
was actually listening to.
Um, was it the last episode?
I believe the last episode ofthe christian board gamers
podcast, and joe bragg wastalking about a game that I
really want to try and that's, Ithink, dead man.
Tell no Tales yes yeah, theyhave the anti Angie rule, the no
(40:59):
yeah no alpha gaming rule.
No, actually.
Yes, I guess I tend toquarterback sometimes when we
play.
However, if I were to label you, I would say you are a
kingmaker.
You are 100% a kingmaker.
Yes, the look on your face.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
I do not, I would never do that you can tell.
Okay, how about this, Chris?
Maybe the only reason I am evertempted to do that because I
like to win games, is becauseyou are a bad loser.
Speaker 1 (41:32):
And I'm a bad winner too, you are.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
You're so fun to play with.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
Well, I am fun to play with.
I'm a great guy to play with.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
Yeah, if you don't lose or win by enough points,
suddenly you start to pout.
Well, yeah, oh, I didn't beatyou by enough.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
I didn't just completely destroy you.
I won by one point.
Yeah, no, but okay, we'll justsay that you, what did you just
say?
Speaker 2 (42:05):
You're a bad winner or you consider, or a bad loser.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
You think about king making?
Speaker 2 (42:10):
The only reason I would ever consider it.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
I think on my, on my, on my, because you get whiny.
On my BG stats app.
I'm going to start making noteson the games.
Speaker 2 (42:18):
And you know what?
Here's Chris.
Our, our stats aren't that farapart.
We're like literally like at50%, but you still whine.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
Well, okay, but I'm going to start, I'm going to
start making little notes inthere when I think you, king,
made.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
Which means you think I throw.
Speaker 1 (42:37):
Yep, I'm going to start because I feel like you do
and it makes me feel bad thatyou're so selfless and you just
want me not to have a bad time.
So anyway, kingmaker, and itmakes you so mad when I say it
(42:57):
too, all right, Well, you aren'talways right, so Only three out
of four times, anyway, allright.
So back to the Star Wars, cloneWars, pandemic game.
I think it's a goodimplementation of pandemic.
(43:18):
However, let me ask you aquestion.
If you were to play pandemic orthis, which one is, in your
mind, better?
Speaker 2 (43:29):
I have no connection to Star Wars whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (43:32):
None whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
None whatsoever, none whatsoever, oh boy.
I mean I watched the originals.
So Clone Wars.
I have no idea what the CloneWars were until we started
watching that animated series.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
So I have no connection at all, and so I go
Pandemic.
I would rather play basePandemic.
Speaker 1 (43:55):
Okay, that's cool.
Speaker 2 (43:57):
I mean there is more to the Clone Wars one.
So game wise, there's more, Ithink more game to it.
Speaker 1 (44:09):
I'm torn, I'm really torn.
I think it's good for what itis, but I think I think I don't
know.
It's hard to say for me, likewhat would I enjoy more?
I think we've just playedpandemic so much.
I mean, we've played pandemic,we've played hot zone.
(44:33):
You know we didn't playemic,we've played Hot Zone.
You know we didn't play any ofthe major, like Iberia, things
like that.
I think it's a great system.
Just in general, I think itworks.
Yeah, it's a very good system,but I think for me original Pand
pandemic is better than thatStar Wars game.
(44:57):
I really do.
Okay, I think the Star Warsgame is harder.
Speaker 2 (45:05):
It is Than pandemic.
It is because you have avillain where you don't have
that in pandemic.
Speaker 1 (45:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:11):
You know you're playing against the cards,
you're playing as that, but youhave a villain where you don't
have that.
In pandemic, yeah, you knowyou're playing against the cards
, you're playing as that, butyou have a specific villain and
they're like.
So there's more game to itbecause you have missions and
stuff like that.
So I mean, it's under thepandemic system, it's not a
pandemic game, right, so thereis more game to it.
But sometimes pandemic is oneof those games that you don't
(45:38):
have to really overthink.
Now, pandemic legacy you do,but you can play, I think, base
pandemic pretty simply becauseyou know what you have to do.
You just have to play yourcharacter.
Good, right, you know make theright moves, which you do have
to in any game, but there isn'ta lot of maybe moving parts to
(46:02):
it.
That makes sense.
Speaker 3 (46:03):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (46:06):
So that was that.
That was it.
But there is another game weplayed.
There is, and this is anotherPhil Walker Hari game.
Yep, this is Super Mega LuckyBox, but it's not just a regular
Super Mega Lucky Box.
We also played the app,downloaded the app version, and
(46:32):
I don't normally enjoy appversions of board games I don't
know, I don't and usually likethere's Wingspan and
Terraforming Mars and I didn'tcare for those.
I maybe it's like I don't wantto pay money for a game that I
have the tactile version of, butI like this one.
(46:52):
I enjoy it.
It's very quick, simple, whichis one of the reasons why I like
super mega lucky box.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
So yeah, to give a little bit of context of that
app.
So I personally like the boardgame apps.
I enjoy the wingspan app, Ienjoy the pan, or the the
pandemic app when it was a thing, um, I enjoy the terrifying
mars.
I like apps.
Let's just say that I like theboard game app implementations.
Um, it just gives me theability to play a game if I got
(47:25):
some downtime on my phone andI'm just sitting somewhere, but
regardless.
So angie and I were at thegreater Wisconsin autism
conference in Baraboo, wisconsin, and Angie was at one of her
breakout sessions and I was justsitting in the hotel room with
Gabe and I don't know how I knewit, but I think on Facebook
(47:46):
somebody posted, or something,that there was an app, and I
don't know if you owned italready or if I shared it right
away.
I shared it with Angie.
I was like, oh, super, megalucky box.
So I shared it with Angie, thatwas it.
That's as far as it went.
And then later that day we'resitting in the hotel room, we're
just relaxing, we got doneeating and we're just we're
(48:09):
chilling for the night and Iasked did you see that app?
Oh, I bought it.
What?
Well, let's play it, and whydidn't you tell me yeah?
So unfortunately it's not a twoplayer game, so what we had to
do was basically Angie wouldplay around and then she'd hand
(48:29):
me her phone and then I play it.
It was fun to watch the otherperson play, to see their, their
, your play style.
Basically yeah, which I dothink it made me a better player
watching you play, becauseyou've got more plays into this
game than I do.
I really enjoy it, but you'veplayed it more.
I mean, you've taken it to withyou on business trips 've.
(48:50):
Yeah, you've done a lot moreplaying in that game and when I,
when I would, when we play thephysical of the game, I
basically just randomly pickedcards yeah, yeah, you're more
rent even more where you takethe numbers off which cards
where I'm more strategic aboutthat?
Speaker 2 (49:05):
yeah, and so I'm watching you going the whole
time.
I'm like, why is he taking thefive off this card?
Speaker 1 (49:12):
now take it off the other card yep, yep, and now I'm
starting to see how you played.
I saw how you played and howyou pick your cards and it kind
of makes my scores better now,which is good and it makes me
happy, but I do think excellentapp implementation.
So we were sitting at home justtrying to figure out what to
play the other night, so I justgrabbed the super mega lucky box
(49:39):
and we played a couple roundsof super mega lucky box and it
was a great time.
I don't can Phil Walker Hardingmake a bad game.
Speaker 2 (49:46):
Well, he can make games that are not not as, not
as great you know.
Would that be a?
Speaker 1 (49:54):
bad game.
Speaker 2 (49:55):
Not necessarily.
Speaker 1 (49:58):
I don't know, I think Phil's, phil's bad.
Speaker 2 (50:01):
We're going to play what's the game called the show.
My shelfie then.
Speaker 1 (50:09):
Yeah, I like my shelfie.
Speaker 2 (50:11):
I liked my shelf, you , I like my shelfie.
Speaker 1 (50:12):
You're the one that gets.
Speaker 2 (50:14):
It was the scoring.
It was the scoring.
Was it the?
You score two groups of theteal tiles, or something I said
you can only score one.
Speaker 1 (50:25):
Yes you didn't you couldn't score both.
Yep.
Speaker 2 (50:28):
That you're only supposed to score the biggest
one.
Speaker 1 (50:31):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (50:32):
And you know, we asked Phil and he still has not
gotten back.
I don't know if he missed thatpodcast episode.
Speaker 1 (50:39):
He must've missed that episode, so he must've it
must've snuck past him and hisnotifications, cause we know
Phil's a big fan of the chasingmeeples.
So those are the games that weplayed Meeple Chasers.
Let us know what you think ofthe game by either reaching out
(51:00):
to us via email or whateverSocials.
Yeah, so if you enjoy thosegames and you think I should
have won Paladins of the WestKingdom, be sure to let Angie
know.
Well, this about wraps upanother episode of the Chasing
(51:23):
Meeples podcast and, before weend it, we just want to share
our Chasing Faith segment and,angie, I do believe you want.
Well, with Mother's Day comingup, I do believe you want to
talk about something aboutMother's Day.
Speaker 2 (51:39):
Well, I'll tell you how I came up with this.
This is going to be a passagefrom one of my favorite books of
the Bible, and you know myfavorite woman of the Bible.
You know who that is.
Speaker 1 (51:48):
It's Ruth.
Speaker 2 (51:48):
It's Ruth and I am going to be okay.
Here's a little backdrop.
I've been doing the kids'ministry at church and I was
asked to be a support onMother's Day, because they're
expecting Mother's Day to bebusy and the early service is
always the busier group that hadthe most kids.
(52:09):
Well, apparently the teacherpulled out, so I was asked to
lead the class.
Speaker 1 (52:17):
Oh, very cool.
Speaker 2 (52:18):
So my first time leading is going to be during
the busier session, withprobably extra kids because more
people come to church onMother's Day.
Speaker 1 (52:28):
That is awesome.
Speaker 2 (52:29):
So I talked to Dawn about that and she had mentioned
what the subject was going tobe, because I asked what's your
lesson for the day and she saidit was Ruth and Naomi.
So I thought it was kind ofthis sign it's going to be my
first time, kind of nervous, andthen the very first thing
that's going to be is Ruth andNaomi, since it is my favorite
(52:53):
story of the Bible.
Wow.
So in Mother's Day I am goingto read from Ruth.
So this is Ruth, chapter 1, andthis is going to be verse 3
through 17.
Then Elimelech died and Naomiwas left with two sons.
(53:13):
The two sons married Moabitewomen.
One married a woman named Oprahand the other a woman named
Ruth.
But about 10 years later bothMalon and Kilion died.
This left Naomi alone withouther two sons or her husband.
(53:35):
Then Naomi heard in Moab thatthe Lord had blessed his people
in Judah by giving them goodcrops again.
So Naomi and herdaughters-in-law got ready to
leave Moab to return to herhomeland With her two
daughters-in-law.
She set out from the placewhere she had been living and
they took the road that wouldlead them back to Judah.
(53:56):
But on the way Naomi said toher two daughter-in-laws go back
to your mother's homes and maythe Lord reward you for your
kindness to your husbands and me.
May the Lord bless you with thesecurity of another marriage.
Then she kissed them goodbyeand they all broke down and wept
(54:16):
.
No, they said, we want to gowith you to your people.
But Naomi replied why shouldyou go on with me?
Can I still give birth to othersons who could grow up to be
your husbands?
No, my daughters return to yourparents' home, for I am too old
(54:40):
to marry again.
And even if it were possibleand I were to get married
tonight and bear sons, then whatWould you wait for them to grow
up and refuse to marry someoneelse?
No, of course not my daughters.
Things are far more bitter forme than you.
Course not my daughters.
Things are far more bitter forme than you because the Lord
himself has raised his fistagainst me.
And again they wept together andOprah kissed her mother-in-law
goodbye, but Ruth clung tightlyto Naomi.
(55:03):
Look, naomi said to her, yoursister-in-law has gone back to
her people and to her gods.
You should do the same.
But Ruth replied don't ask meto leave you and turn back.
Wherever you go, I will go.
Wherever you live, I will live,your people will be my people
(55:24):
and your God will be my God.
Wherever you die, I will dieand there I will be buried.
May the Lord punish me severelyif I allow anything but death
to separate us.
I love that story.
The whole book of Ruth I loveand I thought that was a great
touching.
It's not her mother, it's hermother-in-law, but I think it's
(55:47):
a wonderful story and a tributeto mothers.
Speaker 1 (55:52):
And Angie.
I think that story is perfectfor Mother's Day.
So Ruth's commitment to Naominot only highlighted the bond
between them, but it was a goodexample of family loyalty.
And it doesn't have to be.
You know, love biologicallywhen you go, I will go.
Where you stay, I will stayJust speaks volumes about her
(56:14):
dedication and love, and I thinkthat just embodies the spirit
of Mother's Day.
It's a reminder to all of us tocherish those who just nurtured
us and guided us, regardless ofwhether they are biological
mothers or not, mothers or ornot.
Happy Mother's Day everybody,and keep chasing those meeples

So do we start over.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
No.
Oh okay, no, why not?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I'll just do some editing.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
You don't need to do editing.
I've heard stranger things inpodcasts and people talking
about their acid reflux.
Okay, so let's get into this.
Chris, let's get into this.
Here's a very interesting,interesting fact that I just
learned just before I startedrecording.
My advice to everybody thatdoes any sort of Instagram
(01:40):
TikTok reels please listen tothe music before you attach it
to your video.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I wasn't even going to bring this up.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Why not?
Why not?
I created an Instagram.
I was just creating some reelsand I did one about the game
After Us that we played and Iused the music and it was
something else that had a littlebit of cursing in it, and I am
just saying I am glad you foundout so quickly so I could delete
(02:10):
it, and only one personhappened to like that reel.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah, All I had to do is listen to the reel for half
a second and said Angie, are yousure you want?
Speaker 2 (02:18):
to have music.
I just got it up there.
I never listened to it, neverdid anything.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
See note to self Angie.
Just because it's trendingdoesn't mean you should use it
as a reel.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Nope, nope.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
And for all you aspiring Instagram reel makers
out there, take it from theexperts on what not to do.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
There you go.
We're not the experts aboutanything else.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
We're the experts about what not to do.
There you go.
We're not the experts aboutanything else.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
We're the experts about what not to do?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Yes, Don't listen to us on rules, game rules.
Don't listen to us on anythingreally.
Yeah, just listen to us forpure entertainment yes, and
speaking of pure entertainment,and it is quiz time.
(03:20):
Oh, you know what?
This is pure entertainment.
It's pure entertainment for theMeeple Chasers.
It is pure entertainment for me, angie, and you know who else?
Speaker 4 (03:29):
it's pure entertainment for Because this
quiz.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
The subject was sent to me by one of our listeners.
It was sent to me by MissKaylin from Vicksburg,
mississippi.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Hey, kaylin from Vicksburg, Mississippi.
Oh, hey, Kaylin.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, miss Kaylin, and that's the way she signed
her email, miss Kaylin.
So, miss Kaylin, Miss Kaylinfrom Vicksburg, mississippi, and
yeah, she gave me theinspiration behind the quiz.
I should say that Notcompletely, but we had been
chatting and so she gave me theinspiration behind this quiz
(04:09):
because I told her I did tellher what we had been playing and
we are going to get to Gakpan alittle bit later, so that's
what inspired this.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Awesome.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
She kind of thought the potato quiz was rather funny
.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Don't tell me all the meeple chasers are just going
to start sending in like random.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Well, you know what this is interesting?
One of the suggestions I gotpertains to a podcast we did a
long time ago.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Really.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
It's a reference to something and I completely
forgot how it came into theconversation.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
So I need to search, because she did not know which
podcast it was from.
So I literally have to gosearch podcasts and listen to
them all over until I find whatthe reference pertained to.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Well, that's awesome.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
So I felt kind of bad because when she mentioned the
comment, I'm like, yeah, Ibriefly remember that.
But okay, I'm going to be on mydrives to work and stuff, I'm
going to be listening to somechasing meeples.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Well, there's worse things to listen to yes, there
are.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Are you ready?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
I'm ready.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I'm ready.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
I am ready Now.
This quiz is inspired by Kaylin, or did she give you it?
Speaker 2 (05:21):
is Well, we had this.
Well, we had been.
Actually, we had been goingback and forth on games we had
been playing.
Oh okay, so we've been talking,and then I mentioned what games
we had been playing, because wehad been playing a lot of games
during weeknights, and so shegave me the inspiration, thought
, hey, you know what you shoulddo, xyz.
And so it is Quiz Zoo, ooh,quiz Zoo, ooh Quiz Zoo.
(05:46):
So that can kind of give you anidea of what game we had
recently played.
So maybe you remember a littlebit from this game.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Okay, I'm sure I do.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
On the cover of Ark Nova there is a picture of eight
animals.
Yes, there is one point foreach animal that you can name.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Oh what?
This is coming out the gateruthless Eight animals.
Eight animals On the cover ofArk Nova All right Elephant.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Elephant you got one Tiger.
Tiger.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Tiger Lion, lion Giraffe.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
No giraffe, See.
Now we have to stop.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Because you got a wrong answer.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Oh, you're just cutting me off.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I'm cutting you off yeah, oh boy, actually it said
that here in my script.
We stop when you answerincorrectly.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
You should probably give me those rules before I
answer the question.
I should?
Speaker 2 (06:59):
I should, but you know what?
I would hope that you were thentrying to answer correctly
anyway, no.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I was because I specifically think I remember in
my mind's eye a giraffe.
Do you want to know what theother ones are?
Not only do I want to know, I'msure all the listeners want to
know.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
So you said elephant, tiger and lion.
Yes, there's also a bear, acrane.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
There was a bird.
I was going gonna say somethingelse, but there's a parrot ah
see, I wouldn't said that aturtle, no, and a monkey and it
was like that little, like furrymonkey, I think the ones that
swing yeah at the zoo I neverwould have gotten that.
That was.
I'm just happy that I got threepoints off of that.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
yep, three points, yep, all right.
Next one the shape of the breaktoken in ARK Nova is a shape of
what?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Well, that's easy.
The shape is of one of thegreatest.
It's a vessel.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Can you just say it?
What kind of vessel is it?
Or do you not know?
It's a coffee cup.
Okay.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
All right, it's one of my favorite things in life.
Not a cup, but what goes in thecup?
Speaker 2 (08:13):
Okay, all right, and this is a multiple choice
question.
The next one coming up Ark Novahas 212 zoo cards.
They consist of both animalcards and sponsor cards.
How many of these cards areanimal cards?
108, 128 of them, 168 of them,or 198 of those cards?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
198.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
No, oh, come on, the answer is 128.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Oh well 120.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Because then the Zoot there would only be it would
have been half.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Is it like half and half?
What's the total?
It's 212.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Oh, okay, so all right.

Yes, 5.
You got that correct.

It was like, well, okay, forgetit, there's probably.
It was way over 15.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Way over 15.

Maybe 16.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Maybe, okay, are you ready?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Now we're moving off the board game.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Okay, okay.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Here we go.
So what?

Fox Conn artist.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Fox Conn artist.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
I feel like it.
I feel like it's that movie wewatched together, but I don't
recall there being a bunny copin it a police officer which
makes me want to go towardsanother movie.
(10:47):
This is how I process stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Don't give me that look don't overdo it, no I'm
going the main characters inthis were a fox and a bunny yeah
, it's the okay.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
So then it's not the one we watched together, it's
the one animated yes, it's theone that b-man lego boy likes so
much, and I cannot, for thelife of me, think of what it's
called well, we do have a quizabout zoo, oh, well, come on now
(11:24):
.
You had to say that Zootopia.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Zootopia, you're right.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Never seen that movie at all, never seen.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Gabe watched it.
I've never watched it.
I don't watch movies with you.
You have watched it.
Yes, you have, because I had toask you the whole thing about
the mayor and the lion in themovie, because there's a mayor
that keeps all the animals incages.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
Never watched that movie?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Yes, you did, and they were drugging all the
animals to make them go crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
That's not the movie.
That's Zootopia, that's a fanfilm of the movie.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Yes.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
That's not the real movie.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
No, that is not Really.
Really, gabe was watching a fanfilm of the movie.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
I thought that was the movie Gabe was actually
watching B-Man Lego Boy no Fanfilm.
That was the movie.
That wasn't the movie.
That was not the movie.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I am pretty sure that is not the movie, pretty sure
that is not the plot line ofZootopia.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
That the mayor was poisoning all the animals so
they would go crazy.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's not the actual plot line
to Zootopia.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Oh, we're going to have to watch it no-transcript.
And so she hopped the bus, wentto the big city and that's got
to be.
Oh, now we got to watchZootopia.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
I don't know.
We're going to have to watch it.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
The answer to the question is still the same.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
The answer is still Zootopia.
Yes.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
All right, all right, ok, I don't give you a point
for that.
I don't know, I had your point,that's just.
No, I'm blown away, I'm blownaway.

It's not going to get me to maxpoints.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
This is a good one.
Now Okay.

Son of Sam.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
That was a very good quiz topic that was suggested by
Miss Kaylin.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Miss Kaylin from Vicksburg.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
And Meeple Chasers, if you have any suggestions for
quiz topics, quiz questions, youcan write the whole quiz for
Angie.
Just please don't make itvegetable related or starch
related.
You can email us atchasingmeeples at yahoocom.
I do not see any of the quizquestions that Angie comes up
(20:03):
with or any of the quizquestions that you guys send in.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Yeah, put attention, put attention quiz.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Just put a subject line quiz and that'll be my cue
not to look at that email.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
It's time for Jack Pan, with Angie and Chris
Talking about board games youdon't want to miss.
From the classics to the new,every game's a ride.
With Angie and Chris, you're infor a delight, laughter and joy
, and sometimes a fight.
Join us as we tell you what weplay at night.
(20:40):
And now it's time to start.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
Are you ready?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
You don't need to ask if I'm ready.
I'm always ready to talk aboutthe games Angie and Chris play
at night Gakpan.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
Gakpan, gakpan.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Angie mentioned earlier that we've been getting
a lot of after dinner games in,and part of that is because,
well, I'm still unemployed.
I've gotten way more rejectionletters than I can count and
it's a little frustrating.
However, do have a lead on apotential job.
(21:22):
Got an on-site interview comingup soon, so, meeple Chasers,
wish me luck.
By the time this is published,I'll probably have already had
that interview.
Next episode you will find out.
Cliffhanger for you All right.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
So, that being said, Well, here, Chris, let me ask
you a question.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yes, Angie.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
So if you get a job in the next week and there was a
lot of things you could do withthis time off, can you say that
you have accomplished thosethings?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
No, okay.
Why do you say that?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
I'm just looking around here at the podcast desk.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Oh, so I okay If we're going to go there and do
that, so awesome therapy that wedo while the meeple chasers
listen.
I had really good intentionswith organizing this room.
I bought contractor garbagebags to take out some of the big
(22:27):
things that I don't even wantto look at anymore, just get rid
of it.
But there's like there's like aleg massager thing that I
bought and that whole thingcould fit in one contractor bag.
So Facebook marketplace.
I don't even know if I want toput it there.
So, so, yeah, so there's that,but anyway, you know what?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
It's perfect for another episode of board games
and banter, where I bring outuseless things that we have
never used, that we bought andnever returned to the store.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
You haven't done one of those in a very long time on
our YouTube channel.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
The lighting was really bad, but I thought that
was rather entertaining.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Yeah, that was good.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
I did have people follow along about my journey
into finding good acrylic fakenails.
I think I did show everybodythat we had a plunger that we
bought and never returned to thestore.
Here's the ironic thing, chriswe're using it now.
We are using that plunger.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Yes, so, to get back on to your original question did
I accomplish everything that Iset out to or things that I
could have done while I was off?
If I get a job, no, I feel likethere's more stuff I could have
done, but did I do what matters?
Yes, gabe is loving having hisdad home.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
He is.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
And I'm getting some well-needed dad and Gabe time.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yes, you are.
This morning, when you were onthe phone with your phone
interview, he's downstairslooking for you and I was so
afraid he was going to start todo that stairway knock.
He does when he wants ourattention.
When we're up here, you hearthis little knock on the wall of
our stairs and I'm like, no, no, no, daddy's on the phone.
(24:10):
He'll be down in a little while.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Yeah, I love that kid so much.
Did we get enough podcasts orgames played?
Speaker 2 (24:19):
No, absolutely not.
That's really kind of what I.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
I know that's what you meant.
We should have been recordingepisode after episode after
episode after episode.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
You know, here's kind of the crazy thing I was off of
work during the pandemic andyou were not.
And I know I think I've saidthis before, but there's this
time that sometimes you havethat you could start a hobby,
Because we really didn't start.
A lot of people startedpodcasts during the pandemic.
We didn't.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
We waited until like two years after.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Yeah, we waited until after.
So I did afterwards think about, you know, I had this time.
What did I do with my time?
Why did I not, you know, dosomething useful, learn to knit
or crafts and stuff?
I've had time in my life where,suddenly, you know, the time's
gone by and it was like, youknow, I could have really done
(25:09):
something, not even beneficial,but just maybe learned a skill
learned a skill yeah, it's howto sew my own pants, and you
know.
And bringing it back, Chris,bringing it back.
We have been playing games atnight.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
So let's start.
Well, obviously, we had a quizabout a zoo, and one of the
questions was Ark Nova.
Ark Nova is just.
It is so good.
It is a game that will alwaysbe remembered in my mind.
I will never forget our firstplaythrough of that game.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
I think it took us four hours to get through the
first play.
But you know that didn'tdiscourage us.
I would think sometimes thatlength of a game might
discourage us, and it did not.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
If I'm ever playing it, yeah, I mean I don't think
so, because we played it againthe very next day.
Yeah, we went on a run where weplayed that game for a while
and I mean we brought it with us, we brought it to the con, the
Phoenix con, I enjoy, like theengine building, yeah, but it's
not.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
You know, I just really enjoy that game.
I'm not really sure what it isabout the game and obviously it
is the actions.
It's the way you select theactions.
I think that really set itapart.
(26:46):
It's so interesting the way youhave those five cards.
You know it's your association,your animals, your buildings
cards.
So when you decide, you laythem out in front of you.
When you decide which one youwant to play, it's all dependent
on what order.
So you have the strongerabilities with those cards,
(27:11):
depending if they're further inthe order, and that's really
interesting.
You play it and then you swingit back to the beginning and
there are instances in therewhere you can flip them over and
make them even stronger.
So that game mechanic, I think,is not shared in any other game
that I know of.
All right.
(27:32):
So let's talk about the nextgame that we played, which is
something I referred to earlierin my oopsie on Instagram After
Us.
I know we have talked aboutAfter Us before, but for anybody
that has not heard that or hasnot played the game, it is a fun
(27:52):
, fun game with Vincent Dutre.
Art After Us takes place after asort of apocalyptic scene.
We're not really sure.
There's no backstory with it,there's just no people, there's
just apes, and these apes aregoing to use leftover human
technology to build acivilization for themselves.
(28:14):
They have a starting tribe.
They're going to create acolony with different forms of
apes.
There is one that is not an ape, it is a monkey and you use now
.
This also has a very interestingway.
It's got.
It's a deck builder.
But when you build your deck,you're laying out your tribe in
(28:37):
front of you, which is fourcards, and you are trying to
close cells.
And as you close your cells,you're going to go along your
rows and you get whateverresources are inside the closed
cells.
So the strategy in this game isessentially how you lay your
cards together, because eachcard obviously has different
(29:00):
portions of the cells and if youlay them together, you're going
to get different resourceabilities and after your round,
going through and getting yourresources if you have enough
they're like fruit and, I think,wheat, and then you can also
(29:21):
get some batteries at resourcesyou get to buy yourself another
ape card and that's how you'rebuilding your deck.
And there's also a way ofthinning your deck by rage, and
I usually never use thatmechanic, and I did use it this
last time.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Yes, so I was usually using the rage you were the
rage.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Since then, we played .
Yes, you were.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Which I did not use last time, but you were using
rage when we played yes, youwere which I did not use last
time, but you were using it alot I did.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
I used it a couple times, not a lot, but I did use
it a couple times because Istarted to realize that I am I,
for some reason I'm like cards,more cards, more cards.
It always seems to be thebetter idea.
Okay, I'm getting really,really strong cards.
You know, and I know this.
You know, I know this that ifyou have a deck with really
strong cards but you can't getto them, they're really kind of
(30:07):
pointless.
So I was doing that thinningthe deck, and you know what I
think of the game that finallygot me to really think about
that or realize how valuable itis is Meek Heroes, victory,
because in that game there are acouple occasions where you can
(30:30):
thin the deck and so seeing howvaluable that is to the mechanic
, the battling action in there,made me really realize okay, I
can use this in other gameswithout losing something.
I always use this in othergames without you know losing
something.
I always feel like you'relosing something when you thin
your deck, but you're not.
So that is After Us.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
And if you want to hear more about that game,
september of 2023, angie and Iput out a episode called Chasing
Lorcana and our review of AfterUs.
We go a little bit deeper intothat game Well, as deep as we go
into that game, but no, thatgame is great.
I still think that mechanic,where you're putting the puzzle
(31:17):
together and the two pieces, issuper unique.
I really enjoy the game andyeah, so if you want to hear
more about my opinion on thegame, give it a listen.
And another game which I noticeis not on the list that you
have is Paladins of the WestKingdom.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Oh, you know what I think?
Speaker 1 (31:38):
I made this list up before we played it.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Before we played it.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
So Paladins of the West Kingdom, awesome game,
awesome game.
Took a little bit to rememberhow to play the game, but I
think once it came back to us,we were rocking and rolling and
getting through it.
And it just so happens to belike a lot of the podcasts that
I've been listening to lately.
They've been mentioning theGarfield games and it got me in
(32:05):
the mood to want to play.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
And normally my go-to game.
It used to be Raiders of theNorth Sea and then it became
Architects of the West Kingdom,but I was just really in the
mood to play paladins andsurprises me because it's a
little bit heavier, a little bitmore euro-ish than like raiders
.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Yeah, I think you like that battling, almost
battling element of raiders.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
So yeah, I just know I'm glad you chose it.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
I'm glad we played it again.
Um, I really like the game.
There is a lot like minigarfield.
There's a lot of avenues towinning that game.
There's a lot of different waysto win.
There's so many, you knowbuilding your walls, so there's
a lot of ways to win.
So it's a good strategy game.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
I will say there's a rules controversy in the last
game that we had, so Angie didtake the win.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Oh, angie did take the win oh.
Angie did take the win Becausewe actually tied.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Oh yeah, we did tie.
You're right, it was 34 to 34.
I got the tiebreaker, butthat's you got the tiebreaker,
but I technically should havehad one more point.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
No, no, no, but I graciously See there is not a.
It was not a rules Rules pointno, no, no, but I see there is
not.
It was not a rules rulescontroversy?
Speaker 1 (33:28):
no, it's not controversy.
We just played it wrong.
One of us played it wrong andyou didn't catch it I didn't
catch it, no so because I wasn'tI with paladins and like a lot
of games like that.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
You have to concentrate on what you're doing
.
Yeah, I don't normally lookover at your board and that's
when I realized you had, becauseyou did.
You were really.
I looked over at one point andyour strength was so high I'm
like you're cheating somehow.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
But I wasn't intentionally you weren't
cheating Right.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
And then I looked over and sure enough, you had.
I don't know what was it called, it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
It's where you get the pots.
Was it Absolve?
It wasn't.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
Absolve.
That's it.
It was Absolve, absolve, yeah,and I realized that the numbers
on the pots, because everythingelse you had to compare numbers,
you had to compare strengths,and I realized Absolve didn't
have that.
And then I looked at the potsand they were all numbered.
Duh, that must be what youcompare.
(34:30):
You know, because each one islike you compare your black to
your red.
Yeah, then it dawned on me andyou were already when I looked
at you, because you were upthere.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Oh, I was absolving like a madman you were.
I was doing so good.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
And you know what you did not?
I don't think you were doing ituntil I mentioned the bonuses,
that the way that iconographywas is that you get one bonus,
but then you always get a bonusof getting rid of a thief card,
Thief card, yeah yeah.
And then it seemed to be likeyou're like oh, I said, well,
(35:09):
look at the iconography, that'swhat it says.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
And then you start going yeah and rules,
controversy still.
Hey, did you ever look up therule to see if I was truly
playing it wrong?
No, I didn't look it up, sowhat Angie is saying that I need
to do, and I didn't either.
So so in my mind I did it rightand I graciously let you not
give me that bonus point and Ishould have won that game.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
No, actually you did it so many times that I'm sure
there were more points that youshould have not gotten, Probably
Because we agreed that okay,that you would stop where you
were taking points for that, butwe never took points away from
you.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
Yes, sue, twice in one episode.
So I'm going to spare all ofyou the next 10 minutes of this
episode, because I literallyargued with Angie for about 10
minutes about this rule.
And here's the rule I shouldnot have been able to absolve
(36:22):
any higher than what I was onthe influence track.
So that is the blue track.
So Angie was right.
And now on to the next game.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
All right, so I win, technically won that game.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
What?
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Oh, this is what happens when you record a
podcast.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Let's just, let's just go on, just go on.
We got a couple more games tohit too.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Okay, so the next game that we played is a game
that we actually talked aboutrecently on our top Phil Walker
Harding games episode, and thatis Summer Camp.
I just absolutely love thisgame.
This game is pure.
It's simple.
I'm not going to go too muchinto it After we recorded that
(37:14):
episode.
That's why I wanted to play it.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Really.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Got me thinking about the game and it got me wanting
to play it.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
So I like the decks.
I like that there's severaldecks that you can use and they
can mix and match, and I meanthere's quite a few decks I
think there's like eightdifferent ones, yes, and those
decks represent the activitiesthat you play in the summer camp
.
So that's what I like.
I think that's neat.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Yeah, I like that game Not going to spend too much
time talking about it, but it'sa good game.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
It's a good game.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Then All right, angie , here's a question I have for
you.
So the other game that we got achance to play and I believe
you picked it not that it meansanything, but surprisingly I
didn't pick it was the Star Wars, clone Wars game, and that is a
it's a pandemic system game.
And we played it.
(38:08):
He just got smashed.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
We did.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
By the villain, and I can't even remember who we were
playing against.
Oh, it was Grievous, generalGrievous.
Oh, he smoked us.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
He did that.
He did that, he did.
But you know I have did that hedid.
But, you know, I have no ideawhy I chose that game.
I'm going to tell you thehonest truth.
It just literally popped upthat I went oh, what about Clone
Wars?
You go, yeah, Because we don'tdo well with co-op games.
Let's be honest.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Why.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
One of us is a little bit of an alpha gamer.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
And that's you.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
Yeah, no, what are you talking about?
You know, when we playedPandemic Legacy, you paced
around the table and you weresweating.
You sat there.
When it was my turn, you got upfrom the table and you paced in
front of me.
You were like psychicallytrying to send the vibes of what
(39:18):
you thought I should move,where I should go, and it was
tense, it was frustrating andit's probably the reason why we
only got to the 12th month andwe never finished, because the
idea of us losing would havebeen so extreme To think that we
actually lost and we lost theentire world.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
It hurt, I couldn't bring myself.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
We didn't finish, so we don't know if we lost yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
That doesn't mean I'm an alpha gamer.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
And you know, the other thing that was interesting
about that game is it was thefirst time we destroyed anything
in a game.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Yeah, I did not like that.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
And you cringed.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
I did not like that.
I wanted to just like tuck itunderneath Like literally, you
didn't want to watch.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
It's like you had to turn around and you're like do
it, go ahead and do it.
Yeah, the card.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
The card.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Yeah Well, that hurts , it was wrong.
It was wrong to me at thatpoint in time in my life and I
didn't like it.
But I want to address thisAlpha Gamer comment.
I don't feel like I'm an AlphaGamer, I feel like you are the
(40:31):
Alpha Gamer gamer how in theworld you know you're lying I
was actually listening to.
Um, was it the last episode?
I believe the last episode ofthe christian board gamers
podcast, and joe bragg wastalking about a game that I
really want to try and that's, Ithink, dead man.
Tell no Tales yes yeah, theyhave the anti Angie rule, the no
(40:59):
yeah no alpha gaming rule.
No, actually.
Yes, I guess I tend toquarterback sometimes when we
play.
However, if I were to label you, I would say you are a
kingmaker.
You are 100% a kingmaker.
Yes, the look on your face.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
I do not, I would never do that you can tell.
Okay, how about this, Chris?
Maybe the only reason I am evertempted to do that because I
like to win games, is becauseyou are a bad loser.
Speaker 1 (41:32):
And I'm a bad winner too, you are.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
You're so fun to play with.
Speaker 1 (41:39):
Well, I am fun to play with.
I'm a great guy to play with.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
Yeah, if you don't lose or win by enough points,
suddenly you start to pout.
Well, yeah, oh, I didn't beatyou by enough.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
I didn't just completely destroy you.
I won by one point.
Yeah, no, but okay, we'll justsay that you, what did you just
say?
Speaker 2 (42:05):
You're a bad winner or you consider, or a bad loser.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
You think about king making?
Speaker 2 (42:10):
The only reason I would ever consider it.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
I think on my, on my, on my, because you get whiny.
On my BG stats app.
I'm going to start making noteson the games.
Speaker 2 (42:18):
And you know what?
Here's Chris.
Our, our stats aren't that farapart.
We're like literally like at50%, but you still whine.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
Well, okay, but I'm going to start, I'm going to
start making little notes inthere when I think you, king,
made.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
Which means you think I throw.
Speaker 1 (42:37):
Yep, I'm going to start because I feel like you do
and it makes me feel bad thatyou're so selfless and you just
want me not to have a bad time.
So anyway, kingmaker, and itmakes you so mad when I say it
(42:57):
too, all right, Well, you aren'talways right, so Only three out
of four times, anyway, allright.
So back to the Star Wars, cloneWars, pandemic game.
I think it's a goodimplementation of pandemic.
(43:18):
However, let me ask you aquestion.
If you were to play pandemic orthis, which one is, in your
mind, better?
Speaker 2 (43:29):
I have no connection to Star Wars whatsoever.
Speaker 1 (43:32):
None whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
None whatsoever, none whatsoever, oh boy.
I mean I watched the originals.
So Clone Wars.
I have no idea what the CloneWars were until we started
watching that animated series.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
So I have no connection at all, and so I go
Pandemic.
I would rather play basePandemic.
Speaker 1 (43:55):
Okay, that's cool.
Speaker 2 (43:57):
I mean there is more to the Clone Wars one.
So game wise, there's more, Ithink more game to it.
Speaker 1 (44:09):
I'm torn, I'm really torn.
I think it's good for what itis, but I think I think I don't
know.
It's hard to say for me, likewhat would I enjoy more?
I think we've just playedpandemic so much.
I mean, we've played pandemic,we've played hot zone.
(44:33):
You know we didn't playemic,we've played Hot Zone.
You know we didn't play any ofthe major, like Iberia, things
like that.
I think it's a great system.
Just in general, I think itworks.
Yeah, it's a very good system,but I think for me original Pand
pandemic is better than thatStar Wars game.
(44:57):
I really do.
Okay, I think the Star Warsgame is harder.
Speaker 2 (45:05):
It is Than pandemic.
It is because you have avillain where you don't have
that in pandemic.
Speaker 1 (45:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:11):
You know you're playing against the cards,
you're playing as that, but youhave a villain where you don't
have that.
In pandemic, yeah, you knowyou're playing against the cards
, you're playing as that, butyou have a specific villain and
they're like.
So there's more game to itbecause you have missions and
stuff like that.
So I mean, it's under thepandemic system, it's not a
pandemic game, right, so thereis more game to it.
But sometimes pandemic is oneof those games that you don't
(45:38):
have to really overthink.
Now, pandemic legacy you do,but you can play, I think, base
pandemic pretty simply becauseyou know what you have to do.
You just have to play yourcharacter.
Good, right, you know make theright moves, which you do have
to in any game, but there isn'ta lot of maybe moving parts to
(46:02):
it.
That makes sense.
Speaker 3 (46:03):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (46:06):
So that was that.
That was it.
But there is another game weplayed.
There is, and this is anotherPhil Walker Hari game.
Yep, this is Super Mega LuckyBox, but it's not just a regular
Super Mega Lucky Box.
We also played the app,downloaded the app version, and
(46:32):
I don't normally enjoy appversions of board games I don't
know, I don't and usually likethere's Wingspan and
Terraforming Mars and I didn'tcare for those.
I maybe it's like I don't wantto pay money for a game that I
have the tactile version of, butI like this one.
(46:52):
I enjoy it.
It's very quick, simple, whichis one of the reasons why I like
super mega lucky box.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
So yeah, to give a little bit of context of that
app.
So I personally like the boardgame apps.
I enjoy the wingspan app, Ienjoy the pan, or the the
pandemic app when it was a thing, um, I enjoy the terrifying
mars.
I like apps.
Let's just say that I like theboard game app implementations.
Um, it just gives me theability to play a game if I got
(47:25):
some downtime on my phone andI'm just sitting somewhere, but
regardless.
So angie and I were at thegreater Wisconsin autism
conference in Baraboo, wisconsin, and Angie was at one of her
breakout sessions and I was justsitting in the hotel room with
Gabe and I don't know how I knewit, but I think on Facebook
(47:46):
somebody posted, or something,that there was an app, and I
don't know if you owned italready or if I shared it right
away.
I shared it with Angie.
I was like, oh, super, megalucky box.
So I shared it with Angie, thatwas it.
That's as far as it went.
And then later that day we'resitting in the hotel room, we're
just relaxing, we got doneeating and we're just we're
(48:09):
chilling for the night and Iasked did you see that app?
Oh, I bought it.
What?
Well, let's play it, and whydidn't you tell me yeah?
So unfortunately it's not a twoplayer game, so what we had to
do was basically Angie wouldplay around and then she'd hand
(48:29):
me her phone and then I play it.
It was fun to watch the otherperson play, to see their, their
, your play style.
Basically yeah, which I dothink it made me a better player
watching you play, becauseyou've got more plays into this
game than I do.
I really enjoy it, but you'veplayed it more.
I mean, you've taken it to withyou on business trips 've.
(48:50):
Yeah, you've done a lot moreplaying in that game and when I,
when I would, when we play thephysical of the game, I
basically just randomly pickedcards yeah, yeah, you're more
rent even more where you takethe numbers off which cards
where I'm more strategic aboutthat?
Speaker 2 (49:05):
yeah, and so I'm watching you going the whole
time.
I'm like, why is he taking thefive off this card?
Speaker 1 (49:12):
now take it off the other card yep, yep, and now I'm
starting to see how you played.
I saw how you played and howyou pick your cards and it kind
of makes my scores better now,which is good and it makes me
happy, but I do think excellentapp implementation.
So we were sitting at home justtrying to figure out what to
play the other night, so I justgrabbed the super mega lucky box
(49:39):
and we played a couple roundsof super mega lucky box and it
was a great time.
I don't can Phil Walker Hardingmake a bad game.
Speaker 2 (49:46):
Well, he can make games that are not not as, not
as great you know.
Would that be a?
Speaker 1 (49:54):
bad game.
Speaker 2 (49:55):
Not necessarily.
Speaker 1 (49:58):
I don't know, I think Phil's, phil's bad.
Speaker 2 (50:01):
We're going to play what's the game called the show.
My shelfie then.
Speaker 1 (50:09):
Yeah, I like my shelfie.
Speaker 2 (50:11):
I liked my shelf, you , I like my shelfie.
Speaker 1 (50:12):
You're the one that gets.
Speaker 2 (50:14):
It was the scoring.
It was the scoring.
Was it the?
You score two groups of theteal tiles, or something I said
you can only score one.
Speaker 1 (50:25):
Yes you didn't you couldn't score both.
Yep.
Speaker 2 (50:28):
That you're only supposed to score the biggest
one.
Speaker 1 (50:31):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (50:32):
And you know, we asked Phil and he still has not
gotten back.
I don't know if he missed thatpodcast episode.
Speaker 1 (50:39):
He must've missed that episode, so he must've it
must've snuck past him and hisnotifications, cause we know
Phil's a big fan of the chasingmeeples.
So those are the games that weplayed Meeple Chasers.
Let us know what you think ofthe game by either reaching out
(51:00):
to us via email or whateverSocials.
Yeah, so if you enjoy thosegames and you think I should
have won Paladins of the WestKingdom, be sure to let Angie
know.
Well, this about wraps upanother episode of the Chasing
(51:23):
Meeples podcast and, before weend it, we just want to share
our Chasing Faith segment and,angie, I do believe you want.
Well, with Mother's Day comingup, I do believe you want to
talk about something aboutMother's Day.
Speaker 2 (51:39):
Well, I'll tell you how I came up with this.
This is going to be a passagefrom one of my favorite books of
the Bible, and you know myfavorite woman of the Bible.
You know who that is.
Speaker 1 (51:48):
It's Ruth.
Speaker 2 (51:48):
It's Ruth and I am going to be okay.
Here's a little backdrop.
I've been doing the kids'ministry at church and I was
asked to be a support onMother's Day, because they're
expecting Mother's Day to bebusy and the early service is
always the busier group that hadthe most kids.
(52:09):
Well, apparently the teacherpulled out, so I was asked to
lead the class.
Speaker 1 (52:17):
Oh, very cool.
Speaker 2 (52:18):
So my first time leading is going to be during
the busier session, withprobably extra kids because more
people come to church onMother's Day.
Speaker 1 (52:28):
That is awesome.
Speaker 2 (52:29):
So I talked to Dawn about that and she had mentioned
what the subject was going tobe, because I asked what's your
lesson for the day and she saidit was Ruth and Naomi.
So I thought it was kind ofthis sign it's going to be my
first time, kind of nervous, andthen the very first thing
that's going to be is Ruth andNaomi, since it is my favorite
(52:53):
story of the Bible.
Wow.
So in Mother's Day I am goingto read from Ruth.
So this is Ruth, chapter 1, andthis is going to be verse 3
through 17.
Then Elimelech died and Naomiwas left with two sons.
(53:13):
The two sons married Moabitewomen.
One married a woman named Oprahand the other a woman named
Ruth.
But about 10 years later bothMalon and Kilion died.
This left Naomi alone withouther two sons or her husband.
(53:35):
Then Naomi heard in Moab thatthe Lord had blessed his people
in Judah by giving them goodcrops again.
So Naomi and herdaughters-in-law got ready to
leave Moab to return to herhomeland With her two
daughters-in-law.
She set out from the placewhere she had been living and
they took the road that wouldlead them back to Judah.
(53:56):
But on the way Naomi said toher two daughter-in-laws go back
to your mother's homes and maythe Lord reward you for your
kindness to your husbands and me.
May the Lord bless you with thesecurity of another marriage.
Then she kissed them goodbyeand they all broke down and wept
(54:16):
.
No, they said, we want to gowith you to your people.
But Naomi replied why shouldyou go on with me?
Can I still give birth to othersons who could grow up to be
your husbands?
No, my daughters return to yourparents' home, for I am too old
(54:40):
to marry again.
And even if it were possibleand I were to get married
tonight and bear sons, then whatWould you wait for them to grow
up and refuse to marry someoneelse?
No, of course not my daughters.
Things are far more bitter forme than you.
Course not my daughters.
Things are far more bitter forme than you because the Lord
himself has raised his fistagainst me.
And again they wept together andOprah kissed her mother-in-law
goodbye, but Ruth clung tightlyto Naomi.
(55:03):
Look, naomi said to her, yoursister-in-law has gone back to
her people and to her gods.
You should do the same.
But Ruth replied don't ask meto leave you and turn back.
Wherever you go, I will go.
Wherever you live, I will live,your people will be my people
(55:24):
and your God will be my God.
Wherever you die, I will dieand there I will be buried.
May the Lord punish me severelyif I allow anything but death
to separate us.
I love that story.
The whole book of Ruth I loveand I thought that was a great
touching.
It's not her mother, it's hermother-in-law, but I think it's
(55:47):
a wonderful story and a tributeto mothers.
Speaker 1 (55:52):
And Angie.
I think that story is perfectfor Mother's Day.
So Ruth's commitment to Naominot only highlighted the bond
between them, but it was a goodexample of family loyalty.
And it doesn't have to be.
You know, love biologicallywhen you go, I will go.
Where you stay, I will stayJust speaks volumes about her
(56:14):
dedication and love, and I thinkthat just embodies the spirit
of Mother's Day.
It's a reminder to all of us tocherish those who just nurtured
us and guided us, regardless ofwhether they are biological
mothers or not, mothers or ornot.
Happy Mother's Day everybody,and keep chasing those meeples
