I hate that this channel still only has 100k subs. Best table top entertainment on youtube. I look forward to new GameNights every Thursday.

Alexa: Hmm, I'm pretty sure you accidentally skipped me. Everyone: We didn't skip her. Everyone: *Totally skipped her*

Poor Alexa she was really skipped at 1:07:36 🤣 - I guess she noticed because Lincoln (blue) claimed a route 2 times before her turn 😁

Playing with Alexa is both amazing and terrifying. You know... Skynet feelings lol

Today, just a friendly game of Ticket to Ride with Alexa. But one day you'll be saying "Alexa, open the pod bay doors. Open the doors, Alexa."

Mike's side eye at 1:52 when Alexa wants to join the game. You are a legend, my man... And I am not even 2 minutes in!

I'm only a minute and a half in and I can already tell this is going to be amazing.

I’d get Dave to explain a game to me any day ... over Alexa. :)

I never played Ticket to Ride before. I just ordered the game just so I could try out the Alexa feature. LOL

This is exciting news for those of us who keep trying to teach games...

Wow, Alexa is just like Dave, only "remembering" to mention rules in the middle of the game! :D :P

This game started Brian and I on our board game journey. Now, we have over 100 games. We live in a Travel Trailer. Some of the games are in storage, but probably half are in the trailer.

I've played this so many times, but I watched this 1) because it's you guys and 2) because the alexa stuff was great. Thanks for putting these out. I've probably watched 15-20 of these in the last 2 weeks. I should be playing games with this time :P But I've learned a lot about some cool looking games and my wish list is growing...

So interesting to hear Alexa play ticket to ride lol cool video

Just FYI for team geek and others who play, Sault Ste. Marie is pronounced Soo Saint Marie.

Great one! Thx guys for showing newewst things in gaming ;)

Our Echo Dot is freaking out trying to interpret this video as it’s playing. It tried to play the theme from Rocky at one point, then the most recent audiobook.

Finally an episode with Mike!! :)

What an awesome opening. So playful. This is why Gamenight! is my favorite podcast.

Very fun to watch Alexa's interaction. I say I have mixed feelings about tech + board games, but my most frequent game group requests are Mansions of Madness and Ticket to Ride.

Mike *TOTALLY* skipped Alexa's turn! At the 1:07:20 mark...Lincoln starts his turn (Omaha to Chicago)...Mike then SKIPPED Alexa's turn...and then Mike picks up his cards at the 1:07:34 mark to start his turn (He draws one wild card). Then Alexa catches the error at the 1:08:16 mark...yet Mike protests that the "computer" is wrong! Really dude?!?

How did it feel saying you didn’t know how to play ticket to ride!?

This was... oddly delightful.

I love this! n_n

you guys totally did skip Alexa.

This is a great game, and by watching this show, I have learned a lot more of playing this game. Beside this, do you have a video on the expansion version that is called Ticket to Ride: Rails and Sails? It will be nice if you do or make one.

Yeah, but what happens when you don't invite Alexa to your next game night? Hell hath no fury like an AI scorned.

Whoever wins gets a Rolex

Why on Earth did Dave show Montreal to winnepeg, and not take it? His trains did nearly Connect those two cities, all he needed wa 5 Greens and two purple 1:02:31

Man, my version doesn't even have purple cards, but it does have pink ones!

😂😊 Alexa was smart enough to pronounce Sault Saint Marie correctly when the players didn't. Would've been epic if she had corrected him!!!

gotta say - alexa going "yippeee" after being told she could join was adorable XD

Nice app. I think you should have told Alexa it was her "last turn" instead of just "your turn".

Question. A player has the option to pick up 2 cards. I noticed that after the first Face Up card was taken out of the 5 face up row, the deck manager would immediately replace the void before the player decided whether to take their second card from the face up or down pile. (I wondered if, perhaps you were not supposed to fill in the gaps on the face up row until after the player selected their second card.) I noticed that sometimes it would get filled in, and the player would select that newly flipped card as their second. And I noticed that after selecting their first card, that void would be replaced with a wild. That being said, that wild can't be taken as the second card. But if the stock was not meant to be refreshed till after Both cards were selected, then the wild could have still been face down on the top of the deck and potentially selected as a face down card as their second choice. I was wondering if this was an oversight, or if each face up card was to be replaced immediately upon selecting one, even if it was the first selected?

I like that you can use Alexa with physical board game. I't nice t have someone to play with when no is there and you don't need to find a Solo game to play or play on a electronic device of some kind. Now if they could do that with other games that would be awesome during this pandemic. But nothing really replaces have some family or friends there to play the game with you.

So... What you didn't see was the production meltdown we had between the Dot and some of the other production equipment. Once we got Alexa back in line, we decided to: a) Redo the episode in 1 take b) Manage Alexa as best as best we could knowing that she's not video production friendly. Yes, I skipped Alexa. No, I didn't mean to. No, we couldn't retake. Just realize how hard the interaction with Alexa is normally (with or without a command phase) along with being a person that you couldn't coax to pick up production cues led to what you saw.

Might be time to get that Samuel L Jackson custom voice for Alexa. lol

I can't believe how long they waited to take the faceup wildcards, especially when they were choosing to draw blind. Apparently they never heard the expression, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

I knew this video was suspicious for some reason. This is freakin amazing.

A robotic voice is not a feather to tickle the intellect , but a gun shot off at the ear.

Please have the next person who teaches a game imitate Alexa. 'Bingo!' 'Next, Dave.'

1:07:33 they missed Alexas turn

What happened when you say “no” when she asked if you understand? Does Alexa keep repeating the same thing or does she explain the concept in a different way?

Lol. Rise of the machines, it's inevitable, folks.

TOOT TOOT!

Just curious, has there ever been a game night episode without Lincoln or Nikki?

wow a great innovative start to this episode, sadly this years games selection have in general been very lacking imho

Alexa! Ya cow!

Alexa next

I was so excited to watch this video about Ticket to Ride, but the Alexa thing ruined it totally! I hope you film another one without it. I absolutely like you guys a lot and I watch and recommend your videos to anyone, but in this case, I recommend the TableTop ep. 4 Ticket To Ride video with Wil Wheaton and his wife. Please, don't be mad at me.

Wait what!?

I couldn't get my Alexa to teach the game for me...

can I play Alexa in a 2 person game?

How odd and funny

Alexa got destroyed

I think app integration can be a great thing for a board game. But Alexa is just annoying and in the way.

Hey Alexa, There are a lot more than 2 versions of Ticket to Ride.

Ugh, again some fancy new kickstarter game with a lot of minis.. :(

The only thing that the video could have done without would have been Alexa. Would have been better if no tech was in the video.

☹️ all I have to say

I would rather have Dave explain the game.

alexa the new socialist guide to utopia...lmao chooooo-chooooo

I like Mikes glasses! OH MY GOD not Alexa, such an irritating voice.............. SAVE OUR DAVE! bring back Dave! Edit It has ruined the banter so far.... had to stop watching.

The Alexa app factor made this episode insufferable to watch. Sorry. That was the most annoying thing I have ever seen. I play board games to interact and have fun with my friends, who are actual human people. This is ridiculous. Plus it slowed the game down a lot. Ugh!

Why need a computer app when you have PEOPLE. That’s beauty of playing a board game; you sit together and play and communicate together. Not for me.

Wow this was actually pretty terrible. Why would you want to play this way and slow down the whole game. I get some people like this gimmick but totally unnecessary
