So there are experiments that you 405 00:15:18,128 --> 00:15:21,716 have to do. Right. And so let's say 406 00:15:21,716 --> 00:15:23,971 the experiment says that you have to have 407 00:15:24,189 --> 00:15:25,167 3 dice 408 00:15:25,639 --> 00:15:27,480 with the number 5 on it, and they 409 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:28,600 all have to be yellow. 410 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,320 Well, I can't tell you any of that. 411 00:15:31,559 --> 00:15:32,620 It costs a 412 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:34,379 a calm token 413 00:15:35,094 --> 00:15:37,327 to tell you that it's 3 dice, it 414 00:15:37,327 --> 00:15:39,320 costs you a calm token to tell you 415 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,075 that it's the number 5 on the dice, 416 00:15:41,713 --> 00:15:43,308 and it casa a calm token to tell 417 00:15:43,308 --> 00:15:45,950 you what color. Well, I think even you 418 00:15:45,950 --> 00:15:47,462 use a comm token just to tell me 419 00:15:47,462 --> 00:15:48,837 that we were getting a new 420 00:15:51,533 --> 00:15:53,444 experiment. Well every time you finish an experiment, 421 00:15:53,523 --> 00:15:55,195 you get a new 1. Yeah. But I... 422 00:15:55,990 --> 00:15:57,662 And we've all saying at the beginning of... 423 00:15:57,980 --> 00:15:58,617 Mission control, 424 00:15:59,428 --> 00:16:01,205 was real tight lip 425 00:16:01,821 --> 00:16:03,656 in this case. You didn't get many calm 426 00:16:03,656 --> 00:16:05,570 tokens. I started out with 2, and then 427 00:16:05,650 --> 00:16:07,723 I didn't and I 5 at the very 428 00:16:07,723 --> 00:16:09,414 first term. Well, we won the first game 429 00:16:09,414 --> 00:16:10,774 didn't we. Yeah. Of course, the first game 430 00:16:10,774 --> 00:16:12,455 was also half the size of the second 431 00:16:12,455 --> 00:16:14,294 game. That's true. It is. Believe it or 432 00:16:14,294 --> 00:16:16,294 not. It's a cooperative game despite the way 433 00:16:16,294 --> 00:16:17,495 we're talking to each other right now. 434 00:16:18,387 --> 00:16:19,842 Rolls with asymmetric 435 00:16:20,217 --> 00:16:22,684 information. So this is a big play into 436 00:16:22,684 --> 00:16:24,514 it that rolls into the communication thing. 437 00:16:25,644 --> 00:16:26,383 Susan suzanne 438 00:16:26,762 --> 00:16:28,678 demanded that she played mission control both times. 439 00:16:29,077 --> 00:16:29,636 Demand it. 440 00:16:31,951 --> 00:16:33,808 Would you like to play the? Said I 441 00:16:34,266 --> 00:16:36,596 her to play and control. I've learned I 442 00:16:36,596 --> 00:16:38,831 would with you if you want. I've learned 443 00:16:38,831 --> 00:16:41,304 to play mission control. I would like to 444 00:16:41,304 --> 00:16:41,704 remain here. 445 00:16:42,422 --> 00:16:44,748 But I am in my zone. In control. 446 00:16:46,579 --> 00:16:47,774 So, yeah. So the way that works is, 447 00:16:48,729 --> 00:16:49,468 I roll 448 00:16:49,923 --> 00:16:52,965 the dice every turn and there are 5 449 00:16:52,965 --> 00:16:55,914 astronauts. Yeah. The astronauts. So roll the dice, 450 00:16:56,392 --> 00:16:58,703 and there are 5 different categories. So there's, 451 00:16:58,783 --> 00:16:59,522 like the 452 00:17:00,873 --> 00:17:02,971 life support support, there's 453 00:17:03,510 --> 00:17:06,627 communications, there's experiments. So there's 5 categories of 454 00:17:06,627 --> 00:17:08,305 things that can go can break. 455 00:17:09,356 --> 00:17:11,843 You take that it's initially 10 dice 456 00:17:12,932 --> 00:17:15,316 roll them, and all these items are listed 457 00:17:15,316 --> 00:17:16,349 12345 458 00:17:16,349 --> 00:17:17,382 and sixes are wild. 459 00:17:17,954 --> 00:17:19,786 So you try to fill in as many 460 00:17:19,786 --> 00:17:20,423 of the spots, 461 00:17:21,459 --> 00:17:24,008 there's 3 spots each to keep from damage 462 00:17:24,008 --> 00:17:25,919 from happening. So if you roll and you 463 00:17:25,919 --> 00:17:26,419 get 464 00:17:28,410 --> 00:17:29,130 3 threes, 465 00:17:29,609 --> 00:17:30,089 and that's, 466 00:17:30,730 --> 00:17:33,930 life support. Life support takes no damage. Right 467 00:17:33,930 --> 00:17:35,863 term. Mh. Now if you get 4 threes, 468 00:17:36,022 --> 00:17:38,340 you get what a call is a, the 469 00:17:38,340 --> 00:17:40,577 change token. The plus minus token... Minus token. 470 00:17:40,817 --> 00:17:43,228 So that token, if you have 1, allows 471 00:17:43,228 --> 00:17:45,142 you to raise or lower the number of 472 00:17:45,142 --> 00:17:47,056 a die by 123 473 00:17:47,056 --> 00:17:48,811 or 4. But that's only during the action 474 00:17:48,811 --> 00:17:51,044 phase, which was after the rolling thing and 475 00:17:51,044 --> 00:17:52,814 damage. But that comes into play later because 476 00:17:52,814 --> 00:17:54,507 you when you're trying to, 477 00:17:55,599 --> 00:17:56,793 finish each stage, 478 00:17:57,748 --> 00:18:00,375 it comes in. But... So as I damage 479 00:18:00,375 --> 00:18:02,046 things, as things get damaged. 480 00:18:02,859 --> 00:18:03,519 It tell 481 00:18:04,140 --> 00:18:04,700 mission control. 482 00:18:05,740 --> 00:18:07,019 Life support has 1 damage. 483 00:18:07,900 --> 00:18:10,220 Experiments has 1 damage. Comm has 2 damage. 484 00:18:10,714 --> 00:18:12,309 And she marks it out a little slider. 485 00:18:12,469 --> 00:18:14,383 Right. She has behind behind. Actually she had 486 00:18:14,383 --> 00:18:16,217 a screen in front of me, so he 487 00:18:16,217 --> 00:18:17,254 couldn't see my board, 488 00:18:17,892 --> 00:18:20,307 and the mission control board then has 489 00:18:21,096 --> 00:18:21,596 sliders 490 00:18:22,131 --> 00:18:24,280 from 0 to 8 for each 1 of 491 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:25,497 those 5 categories, 492 00:18:26,429 --> 00:18:28,976 and and mission control keeps track of them. 493 00:18:30,662 --> 00:18:32,883 So you kind of have to remember how 494 00:18:32,883 --> 00:18:35,421 much damage each system has taken without being 495 00:18:35,421 --> 00:18:37,087 able to look at it. Right. Astronauts. I 496 00:18:37,087 --> 00:18:39,329 mean, and they give you a Mission control 497 00:18:39,329 --> 00:18:41,399 can spend a comm token to say, 498 00:18:41,956 --> 00:18:42,433 hey, 499 00:18:42,831 --> 00:18:45,631 you need to fix this system. Yeah. They 500 00:18:45,631 --> 00:18:47,540 give us little red astronaut tokens that you're 501 00:18:47,540 --> 00:18:48,676 supposed to put on 502 00:18:49,051 --> 00:18:50,800 the items on the columns that you over 503 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,391 the rows that you think you're supposed to 504 00:18:52,391 --> 00:18:54,878 repair? For the astronauts. Yeah. So 505 00:18:55,269 --> 00:18:57,423 So that's how the asymmetrical goes. So as 506 00:18:57,423 --> 00:18:59,738 you're going back and forth, there are also 507 00:18:59,738 --> 00:19:01,892 3 flags that clip onto the top of 508 00:19:01,892 --> 00:19:03,502 the board that show that there's things that 509 00:19:03,502 --> 00:19:06,127 are going critical. So you little essentially just 510 00:19:06,127 --> 00:19:08,138 red light. Yeah. There's 3 alert 511 00:19:08,672 --> 00:19:10,914 things that flip up that look like little 512 00:19:10,914 --> 00:19:12,823 red flashing lights, but they don't flash, of 513 00:19:12,823 --> 00:19:15,607 course. And then there's 1 that says calms 514 00:19:15,607 --> 00:19:17,855 down. Mh. That you could also put up 515 00:19:17,855 --> 00:19:19,615 if your comm will go down. Yeah. So 516 00:19:19,615 --> 00:19:22,255 that calms down either means that she's out 517 00:19:22,255 --> 00:19:25,555 of comm tokens or communications. It just means 518 00:19:26,255 --> 00:19:28,261 communications that is between 0 and 3 and 519 00:19:28,420 --> 00:19:30,568 I can't even get calm tokens if it's 520 00:19:30,568 --> 00:19:32,557 between 0 and 3. 0, because calms are 521 00:19:32,557 --> 00:19:35,045 down. Okay. I can't use them and I 522 00:19:35,045 --> 00:19:38,265 can't accumulate them And then scenario mission 523 00:19:38,644 --> 00:19:41,285 campaign game is way is another 1 of 524 00:19:41,285 --> 00:19:43,579 the categories on this 1 the mechanism mh 525 00:19:43,778 --> 00:19:44,834 So as you 526 00:19:45,207 --> 00:19:47,828 as you either orbit the moon... Yeah. So 527 00:19:47,828 --> 00:19:49,281 the scenario is 528 00:19:49,892 --> 00:19:51,639 you're on a mission to the moon, moon. 529 00:19:52,195 --> 00:19:52,433 Right? 530 00:19:53,883 --> 00:19:54,761 That's the scenario. 531 00:19:55,399 --> 00:19:56,299 Well, this 532 00:19:56,916 --> 00:19:57,954 admission to the moon or I can say, 533 00:19:58,114 --> 00:19:59,790 or you're orbiting there earth because remember there's 534 00:19:59,790 --> 00:20:02,559 a starter There were 2 scenarios. There was 535 00:20:02,759 --> 00:20:05,559 Gemini and Apollo that you can Gemini 1 536 00:20:05,559 --> 00:20:06,620 only has 1, 537 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:07,320 like, 538 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,089 10 by 10 board. Mh. That has the 539 00:20:11,089 --> 00:20:12,522 earth on it, and you have to launch. 540 00:20:12,681 --> 00:20:14,035 You have to orbit and you have to 541 00:20:14,035 --> 00:20:15,547 get back down to the earth. So that's... 542 00:20:16,105 --> 00:20:19,148 That's the that's easy. Slash down. Easy mode 543 00:20:19,148 --> 00:20:21,067 of the game. Yeah. And you only have 544 00:20:21,067 --> 00:20:23,544 to complete 2 experiments for the Gemini mission. 545 00:20:23,864 --> 00:20:26,102 Right. For the Apollo mission, you have to 546 00:20:26,102 --> 00:20:27,560 complete 3 experiments 547 00:20:28,514 --> 00:20:29,894 plus all the other obstacles. 548 00:20:30,355 --> 00:20:32,434 Right. In the stage. So each stage you 549 00:20:32,434 --> 00:20:33,654 have launch. So 550 00:20:33,954 --> 00:20:35,714 launch you flip over the card and it 551 00:20:35,714 --> 00:20:37,809 tells you what you have to do to 552 00:20:37,809 --> 00:20:39,727 complete that stage. So I think the stage 553 00:20:39,727 --> 00:20:40,227 that 554 00:20:40,686 --> 00:20:41,506 they they 555 00:20:42,124 --> 00:20:44,362 get more and more complex as the game 556 00:20:44,362 --> 00:20:46,120 goes on. So initially, you'll have the first 557 00:20:46,120 --> 00:20:46,575 stage 558 00:20:47,095 --> 00:20:49,255 is launch and you need to get into 559 00:20:49,255 --> 00:20:51,255 orbit. So you have to roll 4 dice, 560 00:20:51,494 --> 00:20:52,774 they all have to be the same number 561 00:20:52,774 --> 00:20:54,454 in the same color. So you roll the 562 00:20:54,454 --> 00:20:55,274 dice and 563 00:20:55,588 --> 00:20:57,418 At when... On your action phase, you have 564 00:20:57,418 --> 00:20:59,168 to choose which dice you're going to put 565 00:20:59,168 --> 00:20:59,668 towards 566 00:21:00,122 --> 00:21:01,816 each stages actions 567 00:21:02,684 --> 00:21:04,545 because the other things you can do are 568 00:21:04,845 --> 00:21:07,244 repair items on the ship, you can give 569 00:21:07,244 --> 00:21:09,505 you can drop a certain color 570 00:21:09,805 --> 00:21:12,065 dice to give com tokens to 571 00:21:12,539 --> 00:21:15,496 mission control or adjust power settings so she 572 00:21:15,496 --> 00:21:15,996 can 573 00:21:16,534 --> 00:21:19,171 lower power in 1 item and to raise 574 00:21:19,171 --> 00:21:21,344 it in another to kinda avert damage, you, 575 00:21:21,503 --> 00:21:22,622 kinda like, even things out. 576 00:21:23,741 --> 00:21:24,561 There's... And 577 00:21:25,019 --> 00:21:27,577 that I say repair? Yes. You gotta put 578 00:21:27,577 --> 00:21:28,077 down 579 00:21:28,455 --> 00:21:32,290 sequential dice So it could be 12345135. 580 00:21:33,244 --> 00:21:35,175 And you get 1 581 00:21:36,185 --> 00:21:36,685 repair 582 00:21:37,472 --> 00:21:39,303 for each dice that you put down and 583 00:21:39,303 --> 00:21:42,486 then an extra repair for each dice that 584 00:21:42,486 --> 00:21:44,157 matches a color of the first past that. 585 00:21:44,316 --> 00:21:45,828 So if you put 3 dice down and 586 00:21:45,828 --> 00:21:47,988 they're all black. You get 5 repair points. 587 00:21:48,543 --> 00:21:51,582 Nice. Which I had to do often. So 588 00:21:52,114 --> 00:21:54,676 while you're doing this, if you have a 589 00:21:55,543 --> 00:21:57,297 you also have to put items down for 590 00:21:57,297 --> 00:21:59,131 experiments, and that's was, like, Was saying, we 591 00:21:59,131 --> 00:22:00,885 need... I trying to tell me that I 592 00:22:00,885 --> 00:22:03,357 need Yeah. That was the other thing that 593 00:22:03,357 --> 00:22:05,601 was behind my screen was the experiments. 594 00:22:05,999 --> 00:22:07,830 Those are ones he couldn't see what it 595 00:22:07,830 --> 00:22:10,058 his goal was unless I communicated it to 596 00:22:10,058 --> 00:22:11,888 him. And I'm still the 1 tracking them. 597 00:22:12,207 --> 00:22:13,082 That's mission control. 598 00:22:13,893 --> 00:22:15,325 And then what else what else did you 599 00:22:15,325 --> 00:22:16,041 have we have to do? 600 00:22:17,313 --> 00:22:19,063 Things went critical, you have to solve, like, 601 00:22:19,143 --> 00:22:21,228 a tetris puzzle? Yeah. If the if a 602 00:22:21,228 --> 00:22:22,984 system went critical if it went all the 603 00:22:22,984 --> 00:22:23,862 way down to 0, 604 00:22:25,059 --> 00:22:28,012 then we start the timer for the action 605 00:22:28,012 --> 00:22:28,412 phase, 606 00:22:30,258 --> 00:22:32,664 and you flip over 1 of the crisis 607 00:22:33,038 --> 00:22:33,912 cards. Mh. 608 00:22:34,468 --> 00:22:36,136 And you have to solve a puzzle. 609 00:22:37,104 --> 00:22:39,803 But I had, like, 2 dice to use, 610 00:22:40,517 --> 00:22:42,581 and then the dice has numbers on them. 611 00:22:42,978 --> 00:22:44,566 The puzzle pieces set have numbers on them. 612 00:22:45,533 --> 00:22:46,909 So you had to roll 613 00:22:47,522 --> 00:22:49,034 to get the right to get the right 614 00:22:49,034 --> 00:22:50,807 piece. So you have to just keep rolling 615 00:22:50,864 --> 00:22:52,296 until you get it. The the thing is 616 00:22:52,296 --> 00:22:55,491 you're using up time. Yeah. So normally, the 617 00:22:55,491 --> 00:22:56,706 time you get 4 minutes 618 00:22:57,158 --> 00:22:58,294 to complete the 619 00:22:59,222 --> 00:23:01,366 action phase phase. And normally, that's all to 620 00:23:01,366 --> 00:23:02,001 the astronauts. 621 00:23:02,493 --> 00:23:05,118 Right. If something goes critical, then Mission control 622 00:23:05,118 --> 00:23:06,550 has to solve 1 of these puzzles or 623 00:23:06,710 --> 00:23:08,221 I do, it depends on how it goes. 624 00:23:08,539 --> 00:23:11,186 Right. But and it... The puzzle itself is 625 00:23:11,186 --> 00:23:13,043 like you've got these, like, tetris 626 00:23:13,421 --> 00:23:15,517 style pieces and you have to connect 627 00:23:16,294 --> 00:23:18,131 1 circuit to the other circuit on the 628 00:23:18,131 --> 00:23:20,534 board. And there's things in on the circuitry 629 00:23:20,534 --> 00:23:21,989 that block your way and 630 00:23:23,081 --> 00:23:24,115 put things in the way so that way, 631 00:23:24,275 --> 00:23:26,503 you can't make just a straight path. So 632 00:23:26,503 --> 00:23:27,719 you've gotta get these 633 00:23:29,228 --> 00:23:31,545 the roll for the pieces by getting the 634 00:23:31,545 --> 00:23:32,823 right numbers that are on the back of 635 00:23:32,823 --> 00:23:34,660 the pieces so if you need 2 two's, 636 00:23:35,314 --> 00:23:36,428 you have to roll the dice and get 637 00:23:36,428 --> 00:23:38,098 a and get 2 tubes to be able 638 00:23:38,098 --> 00:23:39,928 to get whatever piece that is, and then 639 00:23:39,928 --> 00:23:41,519 use those pieces as you act, 640 00:23:42,791 --> 00:23:43,507 as you get them, 641 00:23:44,638 --> 00:23:46,472 to be able to put on the board. 642 00:23:46,791 --> 00:23:49,025 Yeah. You're connect the circuits. This was very 643 00:23:49,025 --> 00:23:50,859 stressful force Suzanne when she had to do 644 00:23:50,859 --> 00:23:52,933 it. Well, and the thing is some of 645 00:23:52,933 --> 00:23:56,059 the pieces have 3 numbers, which meant you 646 00:23:56,059 --> 00:23:57,973 had to give me at least 1 die. 647 00:23:58,612 --> 00:23:59,968 And the more die you give me the 648 00:23:59,968 --> 00:24:02,614 more chance I'm gonna get get numbers. But 649 00:24:02,614 --> 00:24:04,607 but then you don't use them during that 650 00:24:04,607 --> 00:24:07,157 action phase. Right. And I was also distracted 651 00:24:07,157 --> 00:24:08,831 by our visitors. That's right. 652 00:24:09,883 --> 00:24:12,834 So this game takes 30 to 60 minutes 653 00:24:12,834 --> 00:24:15,466 to play depending on how often you get 654 00:24:15,466 --> 00:24:17,540 distracted by raccoons in your backyard. Yes. 655 00:24:18,816 --> 00:24:21,307 So That is also something that happened. We 656 00:24:21,307 --> 00:24:23,863 had a family of 6, mom and 5 657 00:24:23,863 --> 00:24:24,183 babies, 658 00:24:24,822 --> 00:24:27,074 crawl out of the storm sewer. In our 659 00:24:27,074 --> 00:24:30,267 backyard and just show up, like 3 feet 660 00:24:30,267 --> 00:24:32,103 from us, scare the crap out of us. 661 00:24:32,502 --> 00:24:34,758 Yeah. Because we didn't see them coming. They 662 00:24:34,817 --> 00:24:37,301 sneaky little things. Sneaky and quiet. We didn't 663 00:24:37,301 --> 00:24:38,651 hear them until they were like. We heard 664 00:24:38,651 --> 00:24:40,716 this munch sound. Yeah. Because they were eating 665 00:24:40,716 --> 00:24:42,305 the sue and all the bird seed that 666 00:24:42,305 --> 00:24:43,417 we had put out for the birds and 667 00:24:43,417 --> 00:24:44,314 all that. But 668 00:24:44,703 --> 00:24:45,975 that was a little bit of a distraction. 669 00:24:48,201 --> 00:24:50,347 The first time we played it with the 670 00:24:50,983 --> 00:24:52,309 Gemini... The Gemini 1 671 00:24:52,666 --> 00:24:54,885 that 1 pretty easy. The the mission cards 672 00:24:54,885 --> 00:24:55,599 are pretty simple. 673 00:24:56,312 --> 00:24:56,788 It's, like, 674 00:24:57,818 --> 00:25:00,373 get all these get roll the dice get 675 00:25:00,373 --> 00:25:02,287 3 dice all the same color. Roll the 676 00:25:02,287 --> 00:25:03,266 dice, get all 677 00:25:03,643 --> 00:25:05,238 4 dice all the same number. 678 00:25:05,876 --> 00:25:07,392 But then when you get into the jump 679 00:25:07,392 --> 00:25:07,711 the 680 00:25:08,668 --> 00:25:09,386 apollo mission, 681 00:25:09,959 --> 00:25:12,354 Mh. It's like roll these dice. 682 00:25:12,993 --> 00:25:15,069 You need 5 dice and the first 3 683 00:25:15,069 --> 00:25:17,065 dice need to add up to the sum 684 00:25:17,065 --> 00:25:18,342 of the first 3 dice needs to equal 685 00:25:18,342 --> 00:25:19,873 to sum of the last 2 dice. Yeah. 686 00:25:20,113 --> 00:25:21,330 And then you need to use 687 00:25:22,105 --> 00:25:23,699 those dice at the bottom, but you can't 688 00:25:23,699 --> 00:25:25,213 use... There's like... But you can't use the 689 00:25:25,213 --> 00:25:26,647 same number that you use in the previous 690 00:25:26,647 --> 00:25:28,656 1. And They throw on a lot more 691 00:25:28,656 --> 00:25:30,649 rules that throw a lot more wack doodle. 692 00:25:30,968 --> 00:25:33,680 Sometimes each stage had was divided into 2 693 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:34,876 stages that you had to solve. 694 00:25:35,594 --> 00:25:35,992 And then, 695 00:25:38,081 --> 00:25:40,336 Remember you had to solve those 696 00:25:41,511 --> 00:25:42,011 before 697 00:25:42,548 --> 00:25:44,962 The stage ended... The stage ended. So every 698 00:25:45,020 --> 00:25:46,477 action that the astronauts 699 00:25:47,188 --> 00:25:47,348 I, 700 00:25:48,383 --> 00:25:49,361 aka, Michael 701 00:25:49,738 --> 00:25:50,238 took 702 00:25:51,092 --> 00:25:54,039 the mission control has to keep track of 703 00:25:54,039 --> 00:25:55,951 and move the marker on the board. 704 00:25:56,682 --> 00:26:00,182 Right. And so every time he puts diced 705 00:26:00,182 --> 00:26:01,773 down to take an action, 706 00:26:02,568 --> 00:26:04,341 I'm advancing his piece 707 00:26:05,289 --> 00:26:07,529 And if he reaches the end of that 708 00:26:07,529 --> 00:26:10,570 flight stage with on the board without completing 709 00:26:10,570 --> 00:26:12,910 the stage card. Right. Then 710 00:26:13,704 --> 00:26:15,961 Mission failed. Right. You know? So 711 00:26:16,420 --> 00:26:17,319 Apollo failed 712 00:26:18,337 --> 00:26:20,588 yes. But we made it pretty far You 713 00:26:20,588 --> 00:26:22,501 had landed on the moon and you'd taken 714 00:26:22,501 --> 00:26:24,972 off, but you missed reconnecting with the 715 00:26:25,610 --> 00:26:27,842 the moon orbital. The or moon orbiter Right. 716 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,188 Yeah. So that we blew up in space 717 00:26:30,642 --> 00:26:32,313 on that 1 I... Or drifted it off 718 00:26:32,313 --> 00:26:32,711 into space. 719 00:26:33,348 --> 00:26:34,780 That I think was the 1 where I 720 00:26:34,780 --> 00:26:35,837 needed to roll 721 00:26:36,212 --> 00:26:37,588 sequential dice that were 722 00:26:37,978 --> 00:26:38,478 opposite 723 00:26:38,934 --> 00:26:40,765 black yellow, black yellow, black yellow. That to 724 00:26:40,765 --> 00:26:43,575 be opposite colors of each 1. And then 725 00:26:44,030 --> 00:26:45,008 I had to 726 00:26:45,464 --> 00:26:45,964 roll 727 00:26:47,627 --> 00:26:48,446 3 matching 728 00:26:49,059 --> 00:26:51,684 yellow dice to 3 matching black dice to 729 00:26:51,684 --> 00:26:53,116 be able to connect to the orbiter. 730 00:26:53,688 --> 00:26:55,598 But they had to be different number. Well, 731 00:26:55,678 --> 00:26:56,872 like, the black dye saw had to be 732 00:26:56,872 --> 00:26:58,464 the same number and the yellow I saw 733 00:26:58,544 --> 00:26:59,977 Yeah. To be the same number It couldn't 734 00:26:59,977 --> 00:27:02,138 be the same number. Like And then we 735 00:27:02,138 --> 00:27:03,805 came to the neck the last turn, you 736 00:27:03,805 --> 00:27:05,710 know, the last turn before the stage ended, 737 00:27:05,790 --> 00:27:06,980 and it was just... There was no way 738 00:27:06,980 --> 00:27:08,647 for me to. I had rolled though, I 739 00:27:08,647 --> 00:27:10,728 would managed roll 9 dice Well, it was 740 00:27:10,728 --> 00:27:11,765 a 2 part stage. 741 00:27:12,403 --> 00:27:14,158 No. It was... It was a 2 part 742 00:27:14,158 --> 00:27:16,072 stage, but the second part had 2 parts. 743 00:27:16,790 --> 00:27:18,545 Right. That's where I needed the 3... I 744 00:27:18,545 --> 00:27:19,980 needed the 3 black and the 3 yellow 745 00:27:19,980 --> 00:27:22,065 dice. Yeah. And I had the 3 black 746 00:27:22,065 --> 00:27:24,453 ones I was hoping that I had tokens... 747 00:27:24,771 --> 00:27:26,999 I was trying to get matching numbers was 748 00:27:26,999 --> 00:27:28,273 trying to get like, all 5 or something 749 00:27:28,671 --> 00:27:30,596 You used up all your plus... No. I 750 00:27:30,596 --> 00:27:32,508 had plus minus tokens. It's just my dice 751 00:27:32,508 --> 00:27:35,217 roll was so bad. So bad that I 752 00:27:35,217 --> 00:27:37,289 would... I needed more plus minus tokens than 753 00:27:37,368 --> 00:27:38,723 I had to be able to change numbers. 754 00:27:39,775 --> 00:27:41,535 So we blew up the. 755 00:27:42,654 --> 00:27:45,214 We had a successful gemini mission. Yes. We 756 00:27:45,214 --> 00:27:46,335 did. We spun around the earth. 757 00:27:46,988 --> 00:27:48,582 And it's kinda fun. You can really get 758 00:27:48,582 --> 00:27:51,450 into it because even the directions will tell 759 00:27:51,450 --> 00:27:54,818 you to say mission control is is 760 00:27:55,275 --> 00:27:56,071 ready for launch. 761 00:27:56,723 --> 00:27:58,337 You know, and then you start a countdown 762 00:27:58,394 --> 00:28:00,383 or you could do... You know, so they're 763 00:28:00,383 --> 00:28:01,121 telling you 764 00:28:01,655 --> 00:28:02,372 what to say. 765 00:28:02,928 --> 00:28:03,962 It's like, Apollo. 766 00:28:05,728 --> 00:28:07,081 Yeah. They want you to role play it. 767 00:28:07,479 --> 00:28:09,787 Yeah. You can role play it as much 768 00:28:09,787 --> 00:28:11,538 as you want. And it's 1... It was 769 00:28:11,538 --> 00:28:14,324 fun. Yeah. I wonder if Place Each each... 770 00:28:14,642 --> 00:28:17,529 I'm sorry. Each part had a little blurb 771 00:28:17,529 --> 00:28:20,084 on it about the actual missions that they 772 00:28:20,084 --> 00:28:22,798 were doing. That was cool. Yeah. So as 773 00:28:22,798 --> 00:28:23,995 you finished a flight, 774 00:28:25,368 --> 00:28:27,206 stage. Stage, it would tell you on the 775 00:28:27,206 --> 00:28:29,283 card. Yeah. What it was that you just 776 00:28:29,283 --> 00:28:31,760 did Or when you an experiment told you. 777 00:28:32,333 --> 00:28:34,318 You were, you know... There was 1 about 778 00:28:34,318 --> 00:28:36,541 bodily fluids. Yeah. There was an experiment about 779 00:28:36,541 --> 00:28:38,526 bodily fluids and 0 gravity and that sort 780 00:28:38,526 --> 00:28:39,955 of. And the All these things. These aren't 781 00:28:39,955 --> 00:28:41,440 just stuff they made up. These are actual 782 00:28:41,559 --> 00:28:44,110 experiments that they did on these missions. Right. 783 00:28:44,588 --> 00:28:46,182 Now 1 thing I wanna ring out is 784 00:28:46,182 --> 00:28:46,921 that the 785 00:28:48,016 --> 00:28:49,632 presentation of this game is 786 00:28:49,943 --> 00:28:50,261 Awesome. 787 00:28:50,896 --> 00:28:51,214 Yeah. 788 00:28:51,849 --> 00:28:54,153 It's... The mission control board that blocks me 789 00:28:54,153 --> 00:28:55,583 from being able to see what she's got 790 00:28:55,583 --> 00:28:59,260 going on.

With the action for action 866 00:31:29,467 --> 00:31:31,557 phase. So So, like, you take an action, 867 00:31:31,717 --> 00:31:32,616 then the next 868 00:31:33,235 --> 00:31:35,652 astronaut takes an action.

I was playing myself, and I think 912 00:32:57,246 --> 00:32:59,797 this is another the issue. A thanks Susan 913 00:32:59,797 --> 00:33:01,551 suzanne kinda wanted to play both parts. 914 00:33:02,362 --> 00:33:05,064 No. No. No. I did my thing. You 915 00:33:05,064 --> 00:33:07,074 you you got a little suggesting 916 00:33:07,687 --> 00:33:09,299 on on things, but 917 00:33:09,769 --> 00:33:11,687 No. I think with I think with 5 918 00:33:11,687 --> 00:33:12,187 players 919 00:33:12,645 --> 00:33:14,563 with 4 astronauts and 1 mission control, I 920 00:33:14,563 --> 00:33:16,001 think it would be a lot more fun 921 00:33:16,001 --> 00:33:17,335 because I think there would be a lot 922 00:33:17,933 --> 00:33:20,488 contentious between the astronauts depending on what they 923 00:33:20,488 --> 00:33:22,563 wanted to do, how many dice they have 924 00:33:22,563 --> 00:33:24,718 left, which is the biggest drawback on this 925 00:33:24,718 --> 00:33:25,996 1. I mean, not in a bad way, 926 00:33:26,155 --> 00:33:28,075 but as you things get 927 00:33:29,581 --> 00:33:29,977 damaged. 928 00:33:31,959 --> 00:33:33,703 S gets damp get damaged. 929 00:33:35,069 --> 00:33:37,375 You lose dice. So you start with 10. 930 00:33:38,408 --> 00:33:40,078 And then as you go from 10, blah 931 00:33:40,078 --> 00:33:42,543 blah blah, you lose go... Like, I think 932 00:33:42,622 --> 00:33:44,308 I was only rolling, like, 8 or 7 933 00:33:44,308 --> 00:33:44,468 dice. 934 00:33:45,425 --> 00:33:47,899 Again. When you had full power for life 935 00:33:47,899 --> 00:33:48,219 support, 936 00:33:48,857 --> 00:33:50,772 which is at at an 8, you get 937 00:33:50,772 --> 00:33:51,251 10 dice. 938 00:33:51,984 --> 00:33:53,984 At 7, you get 10 dice. At 6, 939 00:33:54,144 --> 00:33:56,384 you get 9 at 5, you get 9. 940 00:33:56,545 --> 00:33:59,505 And 4, you get 8 3. No 8. 941 00:34:00,079 --> 00:34:02,237 I might be off somewhere. Yeah. Because then 942 00:34:02,237 --> 00:34:02,636 eventually you... 943 00:34:03,515 --> 00:34:05,033 So you... There can be a point where... 944 00:34:05,433 --> 00:34:06,791 Then which is why near the end of 945 00:34:06,791 --> 00:34:07,830 the game when you had to do that 946 00:34:07,830 --> 00:34:08,070 puzzle. 947 00:34:08,643 --> 00:34:10,235 I was kinda hesitant to give you any 948 00:34:10,235 --> 00:34:11,428 dice because I didn't have a lot of 949 00:34:11,428 --> 00:34:13,338 dice to use to begin with, 950 00:34:14,054 --> 00:34:15,748 and I had these experiments and 951 00:34:16,539 --> 00:34:16,940 Right. Right. 952 00:34:17,579 --> 00:34:20,160 So there is a lot of resource management 953 00:34:20,300 --> 00:34:22,960 between you, the other astronauts if you're playing 954 00:34:23,099 --> 00:34:24,320 multiplayer. And 955 00:34:25,433 --> 00:34:26,948 mission control every now and then because they... 956 00:34:27,187 --> 00:34:29,181 A lot of fights breaking up because I 957 00:34:29,181 --> 00:34:31,812 could see astronauts arguing over what they used 958 00:34:31,812 --> 00:34:33,567 the dice for. Like, no. We needed to 959 00:34:33,567 --> 00:34:35,416 say that for experiment. We have time for 960 00:34:35,416 --> 00:34:37,572 the experiment. We've got finish the flight. Yeah. 961 00:34:37,811 --> 00:34:39,886 And then keep things moving, you only get 962 00:34:39,886 --> 00:34:41,642 4 minutes on each action phase, and you 963 00:34:41,642 --> 00:34:42,360 have to set a timer. 964 00:34:43,013 --> 00:34:44,601 Right. Was it 4 minutes or 2 minutes? 965 00:34:44,839 --> 00:34:47,697 4. 4 minutes. Yeah. Which you usually had 966 00:34:47,697 --> 00:34:49,682 plenty of time. But if there were more 967 00:34:49,682 --> 00:34:51,960 astronauts arguing over what to do, it would 968 00:34:52,079 --> 00:34:54,568 probably take up the time. Yeah. So 969 00:34:55,500 --> 00:34:57,409 for sure. Now fun score. 970 00:34:58,045 --> 00:34:58,602 What do you think? 971 00:35:01,243 --> 00:35:02,836 I think this is this is another 1. 972 00:35:02,995 --> 00:35:05,407 I think if you get into the role 973 00:35:05,465 --> 00:35:05,965 play 974 00:35:07,297 --> 00:35:09,846 of being astronauts and mission control. 975 00:35:10,657 --> 00:35:12,485 Mission control... Could be a lot fun. 976 00:35:14,074 --> 00:35:15,743 Not that kind role played here. 977 00:35:17,984 --> 00:35:19,574 Well, I mean, it was it fun. But, 978 00:35:19,733 --> 00:35:21,562 I mean, game wise. I mean, I had 979 00:35:21,562 --> 00:35:23,152 a I enjoyed it. There's was a there's 980 00:35:23,152 --> 00:35:24,584 a lot of think into this game because... 981 00:35:24,822 --> 00:35:26,595 There is a lot to keep track of 982 00:35:26,651 --> 00:35:27,208 for sure. 983 00:35:28,019 --> 00:35:30,093 I'm gonna give it probably a 7. 984 00:35:30,811 --> 00:35:31,050 Yeah. 985 00:35:33,125 --> 00:35:34,481 I would give it an 8.
