Title: Unveiling the Thrill: Hidden Movement Games! Hey there, fellow gamers! Welcome to Meeples and Wine, NaPodPomo 2023. Before we dive into today's game, let me introduce you to Meeples and Wine! I'm Michael, and together with my wife Suzy, we review board and tabletop games for couples. We see how well they play with just two players, how fun and challenging they are, and yeah, sometimes we even test if they can ruin a marriage (just kidding!). Head over to www.meeplesandwine.fun for game reviews, wine tastings, and more. Plus, you can leave us a voicemail through our SpeakPipe link - we'd love to feature your questions on the show! Alright, let's jump into the awesome world of hidden movement games! Hidden movement games add a whole new level of excitement to your game nights. You've got one (or all) players who can't see what the others are doing, which kicks up the suspense factor big time. Picture this: you're hunting down an elusive character while they cleverly maneuver through the game board, leaving just enough clues to keep you guessing. It's all about strategy and outsmarting your opponents. Now, let's talk about some of the standout hidden movement games. First up, we have the classic Scotland Yard. It's been around since the '80s and is still a ton of fun. You and your friends play as detectives from Scotland Yard, going head-to-head with Mr. X, who's roaming the streets of London using taxis, buses, and even the tube. Working together, you'll need to connect the dots, piece together the clues, and track down Mr. X before he slips away. For those craving a bigger challenge, check out Mister X. This game takes the Scotland Yard gameplay and moves to all of Europe! Instead of limiting the action to London, you get to embark on a thrilling chase across the entire continent. Mr. X has an arsenal of transportation options at his disposal, and it's up to the detectives to coordinate their efforts and catch him in the act. It's one wild ride, let me tell you! Last but not least, there's Clue: The Great Museum Caper. Imagine being a security guard in an art museum, desperately trying to prevent a crafty thief from pilfering precious artworks. The tension builds as paintings disappear and guards scramble to catch a glimpse of the elusive culprit. It's a unique spin on hidden movement games, adding elements of deduction and observation to keep you on your toes. So, grab your friends and get ready for a gaming experience like no other with hidden movement games! Scotland Yard, Mr. X, and Clue: The Great Museum Caper are just a taste of the excitement that awaits. Check out our podcast at Meeples and Wine, and remember to play fair, have fun, and may the best detective prevail! Cheers! That's it for today's game mechanics. Stay tuned for more thrilling adventures in the world of tabletop gaming. Thanks for joining us on Meeples and Wine, Now Pod Pomo 2023. Happy gaming, everyone!

This week Michael and Suzy play Shadows Amsterdam, from Libellud games, an abstract clue giving game where players guide their teams across the map to discover clues, avoid the police, and find their client before their opponents do (or the timer completes!) That's our Amazon Associates link up there, if you use it we will get some cash from it! Instead of a wine, we taste a mixed drink this week, the Phillip Marlowe Gimlet. This sweet tart drink made of Bombay Gin and Rose's Lime Juice, with roots going back to the 1800s!

We cross the pond to Japan this week! We're reviewing the AEG "Big In Japan" title Magical Treehouse, a card drafting, resource gathering and set making game for two, or is it? We also taste the newly arrived to the USA Suntory -198 Lemon Vodka seltzer. In Magical Treehouse, it's graduation season at the magic school, and as one of the apprentice witches, your final exam awaits to prove yourself as a respectable witch. The challenge is to create a comfortable village for your familiars, constructing magical tree houses by collecting wealth from the forest. Throughout the game, you'll strategically gather planning documents to use during the planning phase, occasionally employing magic to influence other players. In the construction phase, you'll set these documents to build enchanting houses in your village. Your familiars can assist in preserving valuable resources from the forest, crucial for earning victory points at the game's end. Over four rounds, you'll accumulate points from your buildings, their abilities, and achieved challenges. The witch with the most victory points will emerge as the triumphant winner of Magical Treehouse. The most popular line-up among the brand, -196 ̊C, offers a delightful experience of fruity freshness without the guilt of added sugar. These ready-to-drink chu-hi come in a range of flavors, each boasting a powerful punch of fruitiness in every sip. The innovative "-196 ̊C method" used in their production involves flash-freezing fruits with liquid nitrogen, preserving their natural flavors to the fullest. Once frozen, the fruits are blended with alcohol, resulting in a fizzy and refreshing beverage that bursts with authentic fruit taste. Whether you're craving a zesty citrus kick or a luscious berry blast, -196 ̊C is the go-to choice for a deliciously revitalizing drink. In the Last Call we take a look at Kickstarter for Make Over Your Game Room By Allplay (formerly BoardGameTables.com) and the Gamefound Dragon Eclipse! https://youtu.be/maYDT2N6O4o
