Draft Mechanic Episode #98: Otys Sometimes, you’re able to dig up a gem - and we’ve gone sea-floor salvaging to pull up today’s review of Otys. The Kickstarter wave continues to crest and we’ve got a preview of Freshwater Fly; and in recent plays it’s Pikoko, plus an odd detour into the CarcaZone with The Ark of the Covenant. Jake also recaps his trip through Augusta, GA in this episode’s Beer Traveler segment, and we’ve got a special report on Unpub from friend of the show Will! 01:00 Show Intro, News & Updates 04:06 The Geekway Bottle Share 04:30 Stone v Keystone 06:51 Kickstarter Updates 08:07 Kickstarter: Tsukuyumi: Full Moon Down 10:40 Kickstarter: Gartenbau 14:39 Kickstarter: TC Petty III’s Handsome 17:45 Kickstarter Preview: Freshwater Fly 28:36 Recent Plays: Ark of the Covenant 38:01 Recent Plays: Pikoko 46:38 Grey Fox Games Sponsorship Spot 47:33 Six Pack Review: Otys 47:55 Otys: Gameplay Overview 54:00 Otys: Discussion 73:16 Otys: Final Thoughts 75:21 On Tap: Otys 79:10 The Beer Traveler: Augusta GA 92:10 Will’s Unpub Report 117:39 Outro We hope you enjoyed today's episode!

Contest Alert! Enter our Top 20 Listener Games contest to win a game from the final list: https://gleam.io/jwEDM/your-top-20-board-games-of-all-time This week, Anthony and Chris are looking at games you might like if you're a fan of Root and its blend of cute animals vying for woodland domination in the most unique wargame we've seen in a while. To kick things off, we asked our question of the week: "What Kickstarter trick is most effective in getting you to back a game? (e.g. stretch goal exclusivity, early bird offers, reduced shipping, never going to retail, etc.) Which of these tricks is least effective for you?" Then, for acquisition disorders, Anthony looks at Food Chain Magnate: The Ketchup Mechanism & Other Ideas, while Chris looks at Key Flow, now on Kickstarter. For our reviews this week, Anthony looks at a pair of quicker, lighter games in Fae and Pikoko while Chris dives deep into the expansion content currently available for Spirit Island - the Heart of the Wildfire & Serpent Slumbering Beneath the Island Promos, and the Branch & Claw expansion. Finally, in our feature, we look at 6 games you might like if you're f an of Root - two a bit lighter, two of a similar weight, and two that are somewhat heavier.

Andy educates us on the difference between sonic and knuckles with Echidna Shuffle, Steve tells us about a hangry dragon in Beasts of Balance and Jon blind pets on peacock based trick taking game Pikoko. We also have tickets for Knighmare Live up for grabs in our very first competition.
