I don't know if you typically do videos on your own, but I sure hope so because I'd definitely watch them. Love how you honestly score the games and how well you describe them! Thanks
Wendy! As a parent of young kids I would love for maybe you and Roy and Eric Summerer to do a video on top 25 kids games (any age, or maybe a couple top 10’s by age groups?). You, Roy and Eric mentioned gaming with your children the most… and I lean toward longer lists than top ten because… there are no doubt some gems out there, or adult games that play well with a 7 yr old, etc, beyond the standard top 10’s. Anyway, food for thought!
Unfortunately I agree with your assessment of Arabella. I wouldn't give it a 2 but certainly not higher than a 4. There seems to be rule and balance issues that seem like they are fixable but likely not worth the effort.
The player isn’t literally breeding foxes when they play this (hopefully). However, within the context of the game that is what you are literally doing, it’s not a figure of speech that actually means something else. When you said literally, it served to emphasize that the game imitates the biological reality of gene mixing more scientifically than might be typically expected out of a board game. Your words conveyed meaning and are therefore correct.
@@thwilee No it has not. Just because some people choose to use it incorrectly does not mean the definition has changed for the vast majority of English speakers. There are literally words that mean "not-literally".
Literally is the opposite of figurative. Literally is real. Figurative is imagination. You are literally rolling dice in a game? Yes, you throw them don’t you? You are literally breeding foxes? No, it’s only a game with cards. It’s not real life. In Catan, are you literally selling stuff to others? No But you are literally changing cards with others.

Thanks for the suggestions. We do a 12 games of Christmas kids game list every year.
Wendy videos are an immediate watch!
Thanks 😊
Please do more of these Wendy. I trust your opinion on games the most from the Dice Tower. Yours and Tom's. Keep up the good work!
Thanks. Happy gaming!
more wendy!!!!
Thank you Wendy, love your videos 😊

It's so sad that a little more development could have led to a great game.
I really want to play The Fox Experiment

Yes! This is why it sounded so weird in the moment I was recording. 😅
So Scholars is like Fresco of the South Tigris 🤔
Not literally, which would be actual live foxes breeding.
To add to this, you wouldn't have been literally mixing the dice colors together in Scholars of the South Tigris, either 😉
The definition of literally has changed to mean both literally or virtually. So, for me, the word literally is literally dead to me 😅.

Yes, I think you are correct on that. The language has evolved. I'm a carry over from that nebulous transition period. @@thwilee
@@kevinbhieey9188 may want to look it up. Surprised me too. That’s why I don’t use it anymore, literally 😅. While you’re at it, look up bi-weekly 🤯.
that pyramid does not look Egyptian at all.
Pyramid is more a shape than a geographically restricted concept. That looks more mezo-American.
Oh yes, I realize my mistake 😅
Literally breeding figurative foxes. The foxes aren't literal.
There you go, that's the answer I was looking for. Lol
Mesoamerica looks like Egypt
Oh yes I realized my mistake 😅

Glad we got that cleared up!
Great video. However, Arabella belongs in the garbage bin for that cover alone
Lol
You dont like monster Godzilla kittens thrashing a locomotive full of innocents?
