That was an awesome song Dave! I'm going to have it stuck in my head now.

Great new segment from Jess and Andrew of Gameosity. Funny, plus a game that I have never heard of (will be looking that one up) ... and I LOOOVVE the Onett Little League t-shirt!!

[Trae_Lenox]

Dave Luza is becoming a new favorite contributor of mine! Gotta meet that guy!

[AlexanderBalchev]

Really enjoyed this episode. The TTR song was very catchy and fun. Also this episode put some games on my radar - Super Motherload and Steampunk Rally. I'm waiting for Santorini from Roxley and the above mentioned games sound interesting too.

@ Ben Seipert, I almost lined my Roll for the Galaxy cups for the exact same reason, never got around to it and we've sinced moved into a slightly larger place so it's not as much of an issue. But we pretty much just avoided actually using the cups for a while.

Love these Happy Luza musical segments. More variety in these variety video shows is always great. The mini reviews and editorials that most contributors provide are great, but... Always a treat when something different comes up :)

[zuntite]

Jess and Andrew are a fun addition. Yay!

[dghughes]

Superb segment from Dave, Bravo! And very much appreciate the closure from Asdrubal too, brought back some good memories.

Hey Ben, I fully understand where you are coming from 😳. I remember well the time when my kids woke up on various occasions and on even silent noises... Fortunately my sons grew up and have a good sleep by now so we can make some noise while chucking dice😃. Like your segments!

[hardyworld]

When is Dave's board game parody album coming out? I'm on board for a copy.

[jdiron]

Dave Luza is a golden god. That was awesome!

[Steve-L]

Glad to see that "Skull" drop! Missed it last time.

[Caratacus]

Lovin the Luza again, and am only slightly jealous of that table. Alright, Ticket to OK, map of the UK...

[jakersni]

Zee, you might want to check out Battalia: The Creation. It's a deck builder but the cards are used to 'create' a map and battle other players with minis. It's definitely on the 'heavier' side of deck building though, but still great fun.

[goyasolidar]

Too bad that Cosmic Encounter insert doesn't support sleeved cards.

[jonathandodd]

Zee, have you played Clank? Curious how it compares to Super Motherload. (I haven't played either.)

[darrenq]

Thumbsup to Dave Luza namechecking my town, Limerick.

[Funsickled]

Ha, ha. Tobin's Spirit Guide did NOT prepare Egon for Asdruval's wrath! RIP, Harold Ramis, rest in peace. :' )

[Syncopator]

Is, "Roll for the Galaxy" really considered a "simultaneous action selection" game? I thought that description applied to games like Citadels, Libertalia and Mission: Red Planet?

[wroot_lt]

For some reason i thought 2P Showdown will feature the Fleet Captains game.. not sure why :D
