14
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 2: an argument, there's always disappointment. Yes, it goes on too long,

15
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: but Monopoly delivers.

16
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 3: Then.

17
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 2: I love Pictionary and number three. I haven't got the

18
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 2: patience any more to play. But as a kid I

19
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: used to play for hours and hours and hours Chess.

20
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: I used to love playing chick.

21
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:03,520

24
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 4: my top three. I love chess. I see it more

25
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,400

30
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 4: I can't mean my top three is water tight. These

00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,800

Speaker 4: the ever Tree great powers.

39
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 3: Done a speech i've ever heard. I love a critter,

40
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: but I don't want them in a board game.

41
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 4: And number two Wingspan I've talked about. We spent on

42
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 4: the show many times. My favorite board game besides Everdell

43
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 4: Birds Build your Avery. The birds have different powers.

44
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: Build, yes, but you don't have you know, with some

45
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 2: drinks and some friends. There's no sort of energy to

46
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 2: that is that you wouldn't drink. I wouldn't Oh no,

47
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: you wouldn't drink. You can't do that.

48
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 3: Collector, Kitty Hawk.

49
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 4: You wouldn't want to distract yourself, you know, pure bus man.

50
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 4: Don't be sober when you played Wings because lots of

51
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 4: you've got to be all up here in the brain.

52
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 4: And then a number three Catan, a classic resources and

53
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,000

55
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 4: Oh God, to build the longest road love Resources. Sadly

56
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 4: it's not a two person game. I would have probably

57
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 4: would have been higher up because you can't play just

58
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 4: with you and your wife. You have to bring somebody

59
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:52,839
Speaker 4: else in Lucky.

60
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 2: We can never find a new thing to argue about

61
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 2: resource distribution.

62
00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:59,640

00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:28,799
