I have bought and sold this game multiple times over the years.

So given that I'm playing BoardGameArena right now with live chat, and it's good enough for me if I have to choose, I'll pick video games (as board game arena is a video game!)

Four groups of people with tractors - a large group with a blue tractor, a smaller group with an orange one, a smaller group with a red one, and a very small group with a green one.

I was at the International Plowing Match today, and checked out the VIP Plowing, which was a representative from each of the 4 parties. I was amused to see the size of the four groups at the rural event. (For non-Canadians, Blue = conservative, Orange = labor (NDP), Red = Liberal, Green = Green).

Thanks for posting about this - I hadn't been watching GMT, as I don't enjoy battle games, but this is very interesting for my work!

Same boat. I played a lot of 2. I played less of 3. I couldn't finish Tiny Tina. I'm going to wait on 4.

rabbits aren't known for their carrying capacity. :)

I want to think it was a parody. But the hands needed more fingers for that....

I grew up with one of those in the house! It was stinky!

- taking your turn to help your partner reach their goals counts as much toward your team winning as you reaching your goals

It has always worked well with anyone who plays games casually, but it interesting enough for a more strategic player to play without dominating the game.

It lives as one of my "Cruise games" - games I take cruising, as it's a game that plays best with 3 couples. (although is fine with 4 as well).

What is nice is that
- it's fast to explain, as you only need to teach the goals that show up (and all goals are public)

speaking of the GIF, have you played Team Play? It's lighter than you are looking for, but hits that vibe quite well.

Doing my duty to expose a new generation to Dr. Horrible before board game night.

Yup, it did the same for me. Hadn't thought about Mr. Green Jeans in decades!

Well, as I live in Canada, I do have a leg up in the Moose department. :)

In case you don't know, Mr. Green Jeans was a character on the kids show Captain Kangaroo played by Hugh Brannum. He focused on nature and wore green clothing.

A man with a green beard, blue denim overalls, striped blue hat, red shirt, and boots in a country setting.

Sent this picture of me all ready to head out to a dear friend, and his response unlocked a core memory...

"Mr. Green Jeans"

Now I'm gonna need to get me some green overalls.

...checks on amazon.ca to see if he can get pickle balls in Canada as he loves pickles...

...gets immediately disappointed because that search did not pull up the kind of pickle balls he wanted (stupid fad sports)...

...kept searching. there it is. the elusive pickle ball...

Well, I haven't done this in a while.

I believe the fisheye lens industry is held up by the real estate photography industry. #thingsinpicturemaybesmallerthantheyappear

p.s. I then proceeded to wipe the smile off from its face.

A tall metal object with milk splitted on the side. A black plastic disk with milk spilled in a way to make a goofy happy face.

Oh, you milk frother. You just think you are SOOO funny, spilling milk all over the place like that. Yes, I put too much milk in you, but I didn't have my glasses and I couldn't see the fill line. But you should have known better.

What do you have to say for yourself?

Frother:

we'll call it "The Running Mr. Beast."

Idea:

Require people to pedal a bike to generate enough power before they can run an AI query.

This could do a lot of good things at once!

that's what I was gonna say!

YouTube video by Scott Nicholson My house, after staging for sale

My house has been staged for sale, and living in the "live laugh love" house is driving me a little batty, so I made a parody video.

To get the jokes, start with the 90-second video from the listing:

Then visit Scott's Brain:

Three vinyl stickers of the game changer loop-de-loop in progress pride, trans, and non-binary colours respectively. The stickers also have the words "we've been here the whole time"

Game Changer pride stickers are out now 🎉 (with massive thanks to @samreich.bsky.social for giving me permission to sell them!)

Ah good to have it!

This will be going into my lectures in my board game design classes.

Have you enjoyed pictures I've shared from my house (between Burford and Paris) in the country over the years?

Now my house can be your house!
(I'm downsizing and moving to south Cambridge.)

Feel free to share with anyone who would enjoy a country lifestyle.
