Clay GableHOST
If I want a game that's maybe about zoos and gives me some similar pieces, I'm pitching New York Zoo here as a smaller, lighter version of Bark Nova.
Clay GableHOST
New York Zoo is by Uwe Rosenberg, and you similarly have to build your enclosures before you put animals in them.
Clay GableHOST
Yeah.
Clay GableHOST
and you create a bit of an engine by your breeding mechanism by getting the right animals in these enclosures, and they breed as the game goes on.
Pete WissingerHOST
And, you know, you might get designers who are like...
Pete WissingerHOST
You know, Uwe Rosenberg, he likes to make worker placement games.
Pete WissingerHOST
Oh, he also did a lot of polyamino.
Pete WissingerHOST
Yeah, didn't he?
ChrisHOST
And you could also come, you know.
ChrisHOST
You could be a young, upstarted, independent designer like a Uwe Rosenberg or a Stefan Feld.
ChrisHOST
And if you would like to show up magically and talk in the podcast, go.
ChrisHOST
Tim, this is the part where you do the drop in.
ChrisHOST
I had not thought that far ahead.
ChrisHOST
That is some amazing thought processing there.
ChrisHOST
I mean, you need Lederhosen, right? Isn't that not the thing that you need to do over there? I mean, if we went over there, we could, in fact, meet Stefan Feld and Uwe Rosenberg and maybe even, in fact, Phil Walker-Harding.
ChrisHOST
That could be a thing, Tim.
Tom BowersHOST
Yeah.
Aaron GrahamGUEST
yeah that's what the board game geek store is for uh speaking of fiddly things with insane rule books the next game i'd like to talk about is a feast for odin which is a 2016 game by uwe rosenberg and uh probably the most popular print is by z-man games uh it is a huge huge box of cardboard uh that is incredibly intimidating to get to the table because i think on the box it says it's going to take three hours minimum uh yeah the action selection board is uh about 50 different actions that you can take uh in a column of uh you it's a worker placement game you start off with six vikings And the first column of actions take one Viking to do.
Aaron GrahamGUEST
And they're small things that give you a little square to fill your 21 by 21 board, like a Tetris board that has all these rules about placement.
Aaron GrahamGUEST
And the second column is two Vikings, three Vikings, four Vikings.
33 MINS LATER
Tom BowersHOST
And so because that you're holding that like sort of Damocles over the whole table, that's what I think people aren't liking.
Tom BowersHOST
And it's so funny to me because it's like we've already solved this.
Tom BowersHOST
Uwe Rosenberg has solved this 20 times already.
Aaron GrahamGUEST
Yeah, over and over and over again.
Trey AlsupHOST
It's kind of the descendant of viticulture and maybe caverna.
Trey AlsupHOST
There's a lot of Uwe Rosenberg in this.
Trey AlsupHOST
There's a lot of Uwe Rosenberg already in viticulture, but rather than wine, we're going to do beer.
Trey AlsupHOST
So the central concept in this game is that we are beer pioneers.
Trey AlsupHOST
We are at the beginning of the great industrialization of beer and beer distribution.
SteveHOST
So this will be the second former number one in my top ten.
SteveHOST
and this one is a Uwe Rosenberg game.
SteveHOST
It can be only one, and that is A Feast for Odin.
SteveHOST
Just a tremendous game with multiple options, but funnily enough, every time I play it, I've kind of got to force myself to do a different strategy because I kind of do the same thing each time, and that works well.
SteveHOST
This game has enough.
SteveHOST
Like, I don't know if it needs anything, so...
SteveHOST
Obviously, I don't think that because it's my number five game of all time, Feast for Odin by old man Uwe Rosenberg.
ShaneHOST
Well, I think you're not the only one thinking that too.
Martin WallaceGUEST
I heard that, but not, uh, apparently I... none of them are about my games.
Martin WallaceGUEST
I believe you have whole sections on Uwe Rosenberg and stuff.
Martin WallaceGUEST
Um-
Ben MaddoxHOST
That- that's, that's true.
CelacantoPANELIST
El primero de ellos es, eh, "Selva Negra".
CelacantoPANELIST
"Selva Negra" es un juego de Uwe Rosenberg y Tido Lorenz.
CelacantoPANELIST
Uwe Rosenberg no necesita presentación, pero Tido Lorenz es un tío que realmente lo que hace es colaborar con Uwe Rosenberg para hacer otros juegos.
CelacantoPANELIST
Es-- ha sacado este juego, sacó la expansión del Campos de Arle, que es suya, y alguna miniexpansión de, de algún juego, del "Viticulture" y cosas así.
CelacantoPANELIST
No, no sé si es por diga demasiado.
CelacantoPANELIST
El caso es que "Selva Negra" fue el, el juego de 2024 de, [chasquido de lengua] de Uwe Rosenberg y fue el juego-- la apuesta grande de, de Feuerland, porque es un juego que es en caja grande, pues es tamaño Catan, pero el doble de alta, y eso tú lo abres y está lleno de componentes y de cosas y de losetas y de recursos y de edificios especiales, y montarlo en mesa, pues tarda su tiempo y tiene ahí su complejidad.
CelacantoPANELIST
Eh, y bueno, la verdad es que "Selva Negra" va sobre la Selva Negra, que es una región de Alemania, que a mí siempre me ha hecho mucha gracia esto.
CelacantoPANELIST
Si algún oyente lo sabe, que me lo diga, que yo no sé por qué demonios en español se decidió llamarle Selva Negra, cuando en inglés es Black Forest y en I- y en alemán es, eh, Schwarzwald, que es, que es Schwarzwald, que es, eh, literalmente bosque negro.
BronsonGUEST
Yeah.
BronsonGUEST
So not quite Uwe Rosenberg, like the winner might have negative points, but also not quite like your, like Wingspan where, you know, you're getting triple digits if you're
BenHOST
a...
BronsonGUEST
Yeah.
John TheismannHOST
is a good Euro.
Andy BarnettHOST
But this is another good Euro, and it's from, again, a well-respected designer, and that would be Uwe Rosenberg, and I'm talking about Agricola Dead Harvest.
Andy BarnettHOST
What? You guys know about this one?
Kelly McLaughlinHOST
Yes.
