Flutter designer (Matt) here 👋
Thanks so much for playing Flutter, great to see it out in the wild now! A few small rules clarifications for anyone seeing it here:
- If you can't pay for an enclosed tile, the other players get *half* that tile's points (round up). You definitely do not want to enclose big tiles you can't pay for.
- You *may* place your bee at the end of your turn, but you don't have to. It can be smart to wait a turn and place the bee strategically on a tile you think will be enclosed soon.
- If *any* part of a flower touches (including the centers), you have to pay all the full petal cost.
Hope you all enjoy!

Ivan, one of the Rise of Babel designers, here.
I couldn't stay until the end of the session live but just finished watching.
Thank you for playing, and for doing such a great rules explanation!! I had a lot of fun watching you all.

The cut at the end was indeed spectacular

The fact that they saved us from Jason's "Tomeo" quote was genuinely heroic

[@JorWat25]

As a big fan of Zendo (and it seems the designer was inspired by it), I'm sold on Things in Rings.

Side curiosity: the lady in the "meme with Julia Roberts but she's not Julia Roberts" is a brazilian actress called Renata Sorrah.
Growing up with so many BR soap operas on tv, I found it hilarious when so many people would swear it was Julia Roberts in that meme

[@DTWendy]

Oh wow, I didn't realize she was a real actress. I assumed she was just a person that became a meme.

[@m-sousa]

@@DTWendy ahaha nope she is indeed an actress. She's probably still active, but I remember her mostly from the 90s and early 00s soap operas

Hi Mike. I didn't realize the Babylonians had influence on 1920's gangsta language.

[@DonnaBrooks]

1:42:31 What do you mean by, "we're gonna need a meme of youself doing that?" How am I supposed to make a meme of myself?

DT rhyme game is astoundingly not on point. Time to sharpen those skills this weekend on the Sunrise underground rap battle scene.
