Negative 60 with the degree symbol up there.

[laughs] Um, this is by Alexander Pfister and Peter Prins.

Ooh.

Of course, the Alexander Pfister, uh, designer name is what caught my eye here.

And of course, I love a lot of Alexander Pfister games.

You got, there's like 73 Great Western Trail games.

[laughs]

You have these, uh, explorers that can go out there, and you can put them on different actions.

Game number 85 on this list is The Great Western Trail, second edition from 2021.

This is designed by Alexander Pfister and published by Egert Spiel.

Kenny, why is Great Western Trail second edition on the list?

It's on the list because Alexander Pfister, for starters, Pfister is really good at like having a million things in the game, but it not

feeling too much like there's a million things.

It's like the

Yeah.

I think it stands out above a lot of those other, it's a Euro kind of games, even though it definitely is in the same genre.

My number three, finishing out a little bit lighter but always a fun game at the end of the night, Isle of Skye: From Chieftain to King.

This is pr- I think it's-- I would say it's my favorite Alexander Pfister game, but it's-- Pirates of Maracaibo is really close.

But this is always a hit.

At, at three players or more.

Isle of Skye es el siguiente.

Ese es el juego de Alexander Pfister de hacer una, un, un condado en las Highlands escocesas y puntuar al estilo Carcasonne.

Eh, a tope con, con Isle of Skye.

Sigue en mi colección.

I'm going to be covering that one as well.

Below 60, the new Alexander Pfister game.

Going to be covering that one.

So yeah, lots of games in October that I am very much looking forward to, but it will be Essen before we know it.

It's not just because I actually like reading the rules.

I remember very distinctly, uh, reading the rules to this awesome game by Alexander Pfister, Great Western Trail, which is-- has the rules written by Viktor Kubełka, I believe.

Uh, that's right.

And these rules here was the first time that I read some rules and I thought, "Well, I'm actually excited about this.

It's interesting.

And I mean, there's some problematic elements to it as far as what it's depicting, as far as like colonization in the Caribbean from Alexander Pfister.

The game itself is basically a race game in which you're obviously Euro.

So you're picking up resources and dropping things off as you run around.
