You know, sort of like RPG adjacent or so it seems to me is, like, a game that it landed on my radar last week, and then all of a sudden it's like, like two days later, Paul Grogan...
Well, it landed on my radar because of Paul Grogan, 'cause he did like a here's my favorite things of July or whatever, and he said that this game was most likely gonna be his favorite game of 2026.
And then like two days, so I saw that and I was like, "Oh, this seems cool." And I think I'd even read something about it.
And then like a few days later, he came out with a video that was like, "Here's an overview," and then people really started to pay attention to it.
Um, which is for Kingdom Come Deliverance the board game, and I guess this is a board game based off of a video game.
I don't, I'm not familiar with the video game, but the, the important part here is this is from Czech Games Edition and the designers are Vlaada, Vlaada.
And most importantly, well, not most importantly, but most intriguingly is that the co-designer is Tomas Holek, who did Seti and all those games that came out that same year.
And so I watched this overview and, uh, like the pitch was sort of like it's a open world game, which I hear open world game, it's not, does not-
Um, but this one, honestly, the way, the way Paul Grogan described it and showed everything, it looked so cool.
Like, I think this is the first open world game that has like gotten my eyes to open up.
There's all these cool features of like you do this thing and you get dirty, and you have to go someplace to clean up.
And like when you get dirty, you've got like, if you have a nice hat, that gives you a power.
And I kind of like really trust these two designers to give an open world game for a Euro fan like me.
