Oh darn, I should have gone to _Spiel '23._ It's practically around the corner from where I live. (Not really; I live in an adjacent town, but due to inconveniently timed connections, it takes about 45 minutes to get there via public transport, over 20 minutes of which are just waiting time.) It's been _ages_ since I last went to the convention myself. I still remember playtesting a 4-person chess game that still had a few bugs to iron out: due to randomised starting positions, I basically started out in check, from the word 'go', and all my moves were forced, until I was quickly eliminated. And after two players were eliminated, the game became just… normal chess with the figures unusually scattered across the board, which greatly slowed the game down from a mad clash to a slow, deliberate pace - not as much fun for the two eliminated players, who now have to sit and watch what could potentially become a long, slow, drawn-out battle, in which they have no role to play. 11:45 - *“Oh look: everything I could ever want in a tabletop RPG.”* That banner made me laugh out loud. Both the name ("The Black Cat") and the logo design are a parody of a popular German RPG, "Das Schwarze Auge" - usually translated as "The Dark Eye" or "The Eye of the Master", since a "black eye" already means something different in English. You can see the original logo on the banner to the left, before you zoom in.

Excellent stuff as always Paula.

Default Paula accent!

I tried to play, but... I died of Dysentery...

Thanks :))))

I liked this clip even from the opening photo!

Remember don't use your spurs!!

Fun!!!

I'll be a-waiting for your New Zealander accent 🐑🐑🐑🐏🐑🐑

That end song. 🤣 Love it.

😂 hahahaha!!! God, I absolutely love this uber talented girl! If you’re not subscribed, do it! She’s worth the clicks!

How long did it take to blow up that horse Paula? Thanks for the dedication to your craft, those touches are worth it!

*When are you going back into your acting career?*

Paula, this presentation is gold! 🤠

My curiosity to why Paula owns an inflatable pony is very high ......

I don’t even play GWT and I still tuned in. I got know though, does your horse have a name? What is its backstory? 🤠

Rooting tooting cowboy looting 🤠

Thanks Paula! I think this video will help me a lot for this game!

Went to GENCON once about 10 years ago - spent 3 days in the Auction Room bought over 100 items and spent over $1,000 THEN went into the VENDORS ROOM and spent about $500 MORE - Could just BARELY fit everything back into the car with my buddies and drive back to K.C. Mo. !! Had fun but it's a long drive !! :-)

I have won less than 41% of GWT. I have never focused on one worker type and it never dawned on me to try that. I'll be giving it a go next time this hits the table. Thanks for the tips. And...if you ain't a cowgirl then there ain't no cowgirls, yeeehaaa!!!

Great video!! Just started playing this game and absolutely love it. 🐣🐤🐔

hot dang

My record is 118 Points,maybe im better after this video

I'm definitely The Crew Paula. I find that if I explain thematically the rules people generally have a better time remembering them. But I'm sure it comes off just as silly as Crew Paula did.

Ha ha ha ha! Fantastic!

damn last time i was in essen on the games convention ... must be in the 90s xD only been there for the amazing christmas market since

This game is such a turd. Seriously. I bought it in 2013 right after it came out and it had a cd in the box intended as a sound track. That was the first red flag. It was sophomore year music major midi quality garbo, which I hoped wasn't reflective of the gameplay but unfortunately, the game was even worse. Take the title for example. Fortune and glory. Which of those two do you think wins you the game. Glory? No glory is money. Fortune is points. They try to be edgy by making alt history nazis the enemy, but they forget to make any other part of the game engaging. In the end it all comes down to rolling dice correctly, and by correctly, I mean there is a lean probability on your side. If you dont roll the right number then you lose, nothing you can do will help your chances. Theres no strategy in this game, they just expect you to be impressed by the photo quality art on the cards and the minis. I'd rather play paper rock scissors. Also disappointed in the channel lately, stop playing crap games for ad money.

Matthew Jude once again proving a master gamer

So lovely

Now you just need the step of "the enlightened" where the collection is reduced to a slim, curated collection of games that they have played 50+ times each and they feel no desire to expand or explore further.

Dang, you are better than my friends that own 2000+ games. Maybe these tips can help me beat them? Finally?? 😢

How can I get your final girl card

I wasn't sure of the premise at first, but the characters hooked me in. Loved all the motivational sayings from Matthew (if I hear "10x" again, haha), the nature communing from Rachanee leading to important clues, and how Mary Lou managed to make a vacuum salesman totally compelling! And nice job by the Fate Weaver handling everything the players threw at her. :)

Thanks for sharing this Paula, This is delightful. Looks like a great time.

This was so cool!

Not the kind of game I would play but I loved !watching

Pronouns? I'm out. Sick and tired hearing this word.

,🦤 Iz it my Turn yesterday 🌊🐬

Now I have the Distillers song stuck in my head...This was fun!

Can we get Paula role playing as a rat all the time please?

Hi Revenants! (And Paula)

Very nice 👍 hope it be a awesome time 😊

Woah, A Galifrey Gal spotting!!

Clicked on this because Paula is awesome! Where can I get that shirt for my wife?

I have my parents, in their eighties, around once a week for an afternoon and evening of board games. I love it and teach them new games all the time, latest being Mystic Vale and World Wonders. Great episode Matthew.

I clicked on this video because it was a Paula Deming video

Great t-shirt and I would have thought you'd have been 'pine-ing' to play the game.

Is it even a solo game if you don’t accidentally cheat?
