Today we close out 2020, and that's probably a good thing.

Ratings for Horrified:

Rob - 22

Adam - 22

Kyle - 22

24:00 - Kyle gives a subpar overview of Dead for Winter.  Trust us when we say Dead of Winter is so much deeper than Kyle let on.

Dead of Winter

Shaun of the Dead

We would recommend you not have a traitor in Dead of Winter your first go round.  We didn't have a traitor the first time we played without Adam, but we weren't as kind to him.

The Walking Dead

32:26 - The hosts start "Going Deeper" (We did have some internet connectivity issues on our Zoom call.  Sorry for the choppiness.  Thanks to Adam for an awesome job editing.)

What do you think about traitor mechanics in games?  Let us know: @catch2222gaming

Schindler's List

Atlas Shrugged - Book

If you don't know Rob is a graduate of the United States Military Academy West Point and served in Iraq.  Send Rob a thank you note for Veterans' Day coming up: @catch2222gaming

Martin Luther

John Calvin

Huldrych Zwingli

(Note: We don't necessarily endorse all of the above theologians' positions. In fact, we would disagree with several of their positions.)

Vatican II

Benedict Arnold (We mentioned him earlier too.)

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

Coyote America - Book

(We do not take the position that coyotes are traitors.  Sorry coyotes, we really do love you, except when you eat cute little family pets.)

In today's episode we continue #septrainber by diving into Ticket to Ride: London.  It's not just London though, it's 70's London Baby!

Ticket to Ride: New York

You should totally Google a map of London, unless you live in London, in which case, we're sorry that we're ignorant of your city. We shouldn't be, because we really, really want to go there, and Kyle was going to this summer, but COVID.  Stupid COVID.

Ticket to Ride: Amsterdam

The actual theme of Ticket to Ride: London is 1970's London.  Adam said 1960's, because he's young and the 60's and 70's all blur into one for him.  Wait, Kyle's that young too.  Yeah, we're both confused.

John Company - Is one of the most amazing games we've played in a long time.  It is not a game for new people in the hobby, but when you've gotten your toes wet...oh, boy, is it an amazing experience.  Cole Wehrle is an incredible designer.  Check out his games at Leder Games and on his own imprint Wehrlegig Games.

Ticket to Ride: London Scoring:

Adam - 222, Kyle - 222

Make sure to check out the Kyle Watches Movies Podcast.

Questions for you:

What is your favorite mode of transportation?  (Adam's answer is simply incorrect.)

If you had a ticket to ride anywhere, where would you go? (The answer is London.)

Today we bring listeners up to date on what's happening with Catch2222.  Don't worry, we're not going anywhere.

Hosts: Kyle

A Two-Player Tuesday on a Wednesday?  Episode 13 releasing after Episode 14?  Has the madness of 2020 infected Catch2222? What's next a normal game rating system? (No chance of that.)

Things just got a bit wonky here at Catch2222.  Episode 13 was supposed to be out weeks ago, but there were issues.  Rather than scrap the episode we thought "better late than never."

So, it’s Two-Player Tuesday and it’s been hot in Phoenix. As summer winds down, we complain about the heat while discussing Caverna Cave Vs. Cave. We get briefly sidetracked several times down rabbit holes, but eventually go deeper asking the question: What is a home?

Caverna Cave Vs. Cave

Root

Getaway Driver

Agricola

The Dice Tower

Hosts: Adam & Kyle

This month we're looking at some "train" games, with a real emphasis on introducing new gamers to Ticket to Ride.  We also go deeper and discuss Freedom: The Underground Railroad and wrestle with inequality.

According to starwars.Fandom.Com a Parsec - It is defined as 360×60×60/2π astronomical units (AU), which is equivalent to about 19.17 trillion miles, or about 3.262 light-years. The Star Wars parsec appears to be equivalent to the real-world measurement: The Essential Atlas says a parsec is 3.26 light-years.

Today the hosts take a look at the amazing, and award winning, game Wingspan.  Then the go deeper and talk a bit about ecology, but without Rob's expertise in the area they flounder just a bit.
