My girlfriend really likes squirrels (feeds squirrels, has squirrel art, has pet ground squirrels). This will make a great present and addition to our coincidentally animal-themed collection (including Wingspan and Mountain Goats, two otherwise very different games). Thanks Shea!
I rolled my eyes when I saw this video up at first - Your usual videos are typically games in my wheelhouse - but this does look like something my family might get into! Thanks for covering it.
9:17 Google typically has good pronunciation voices when you look up a word. Are you trying to say "automata"? Thanks for the video Shay, this looks like a fun party game.
No, it's automa. I don't know if that word originated with board games, but it's what a lot of games call an automated opponent. As for the pronunciation, my struggle was more for the joke and so I could throw in a way too subtle reference to the show ReBoot.
@@RTFM I'm a HUGE ReBoot! fan and even I missed the reference. Mainly because "Andrei" is a common enough name and not having it spelled out as "AndrAIa" makes it harder to see that sort of thing.

Glad I could present you with such a perfect gift!

This looks lovely. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
Happy to!

@@vladspellbinder Haha, like I said, too subtle. I considered writing it out, but I didn't want to confuse the 99% of people who wouldn't get it.
