JuliusHOST
A Feast for Odin is a gigantic box.
JuliusHOST
It is by Uwe Rosenberg.
JuliusHOST
If you're familiar with Patchwork, Patchwork took this, some of that mechanics out of it of having your placement of different tiles to cover up a whole board to be able to get a lot of points by doing that, and made it, and now it's a much bigger game.
JuliusHOST
In Feast for Odin, you have a group of Vikings that you are using worker placement style to go and put them out in a central board every round to try and take actions on those boards to collect tiles.
JuliusHOST
[laughs]
AlbertHOST
I decided it wasn't for me, is what I recall.
AlbertHOST
He has a bunch of other, Uwe Rosenberg has a bunch of other tile laying games, right? Besides this-
JuliusHOST
He does
Peter C. HaywardHOST
go ahead.
Peter C. HaywardHOST
But if Uwe Rosenberg had read your blog and taken your advice, Agricola would never exist.
Peter C. HaywardHOST
Does that not cause any consternation?
Daniel PiechnickGUEST
Yes, that's right.
Daniel PiechnickGUEST
But for each Uwe Rosenberg, there's a thousand other people who wasted their time trying to be him and didn't succeed.
Daniel PiechnickGUEST
So from our end, it's great.
Daniel PiechnickGUEST
Everyone should just go out there and just try crazy wacky stuff and put years into it.
Davey BoydHOST
Who could your number two be? It could be anyone.
Davey BoydHOST
Go away, Rosenberg.
Phil GardnerHOST
No, would you like to hazard another guest?
Davey BoydHOST
Who's got a lot of...
6 MINS LATER
Phil GardnerHOST
No.
Phil GardnerHOST
Okay, that's a good clue.
Davey BoydHOST
Is it Uwe Rosenberg this time?
Phil GardnerHOST
Nope.
JonasHOST
... into your, uh, aquarium.
JonasHOST
I feel that if Uwe Rosenberg would make Aquaria, you would have a game where you would have to put some kind of soil first into the-
LuisHOST
Mm-hmm
JonasHOST
... tank, then you pick the right fishes.
JoelHOST
Yeah, I think I made that one too easy.
JoelHOST
Originally, I had Uwe Rosenberg in there, who I know is not a designer you're particularly hot on, which I should have stuck with that.
JoelHOST
I don't dislike
ChrisHOST
his games.
Brendan RileyHOST
So that, that would be my sheep-based game.
Brendan RileyHOST
If you wanted a second sheep-based game, a game that has sheep in it but it's not a significant part, well, any Uwe Rosenberg game has lots of sheep.
Brendan RileyHOST
You got your Agricola and whatnot.
Brendan RileyHOST
But I would also point to Tipperary, which has a mechanism where the person who gets the most sheep, uh, wins, or the most connected sheep gets a sort of longest train type award.
Tom VaselHOST
And then A Feast for Odin.
Tom VaselHOST
Can you believe Feast for Odin is now 10 years old? Many people consider this to be Uwe Rosenberg's best.
Tom VaselHOST
I don't think so, but it's such a high bar, and it's just a really amazing game.
Tom VaselHOST
It's a game about filling in the little Tetris-y type things, but that's just a smidgen of what's involved in this game.
Jamey StegmaierHOST
I don't feel like I have anything to add to that space.
Jamey StegmaierHOST
Oh, Susanna points out that, yes, there are some designers who have worked on expansions, including Uwe Rosenberg from Germany, I believe, who worked on an expansion for Viticulture.
Jamey StegmaierHOST
And then Kai Stark, also I think from Germany, was my co-designer for the Wind Gambit expansion for Scythe.
Jamey StegmaierHOST
Nate says, do you have any games in the works? We always have around three years of games in the works.
JoelHOST
awesome So my last game is one of actually the first, maybe not the first.
JoelHOST
I can't remember when I played Patchwork first, but this is one of the first Uwe Rosenberg games that I remember ever playing.
JoelHOST
And I was like, whoa, this guy is working on a different level here.
JoelHOST
right you put it out on the table the first time and you're like what do i do with all this stuff that's just everywhere so much stuff a million spaces there's stacks of cards there's all these weirdly shaped tiles and then you get into it that you know simple worker placement game really a little bit of a joke it's not simple you got to do a lot of thinking but
RobHOST
They've taken a big turn the last couple of years.
RobHOST
They always released some really awesome Euro games in years past, usually with Uwe Rosenberg being on the box.
RobHOST
And the last couple of years, they've taken a little bit of a shift of releasing some smaller stuff, much smaller games.
RobHOST
uh card card games board games as opposed to the big monster ones uh like they have in the past and here you know we've got this thing's got to be tiny this expansion i imagine it's probably going to be in a box slightly bigger than a deck of cards this is just me guessing i have no inclination other Other than just guessing and seeing an image.
