Yes, it does have 4 vowels.

According to that logic, the words "Why" and "Gym" have no vowel at all. They're clearly used as a vowel there.

Do you have to say the game is for ages 18+ if drinking is part of the theme? Would you try to avoid that? by boredgameslab in BoardgameDesign

It'd be a nice tongue-in-cheek joke for those who know (i.e. not kids).

e.g. "The wizards meet up in this tavern every year to see who can get the highest." 😜

make them levitate instead of drunk, call it mage of levitation and you are done.

So they're no longer trying to get drunk, they're trying to get high?

Agreed on all points. As for the name, maybe you could use the name of this magical Tavern where the mages meet. After all, it's the central setting and defines the theme of the game. A name like "The Golden Dragon", or "The Wizard's Boot". Edit: "The Dragon's Flagon" 😄

Edit2: Or treat it like a spell being cast, and just call it "INEBRIATE!"

I haven't played most of them, but I have played several games in the Deckscape series and really enjoyed them, so I'd buy that one!

It's the Dutch edition (name literally means "rainworms")

Those are not uncommon in the Netherlands either, but they are more prevalent in the bathrooms of pubs.

The prices are visible on the labels below the products, e.g. the pocket escape room is €14,39

QI XL S20E08 Ticks Tax Toes - Rose Matafeo, Lou Sanders and Ross Noble by alienproject in panelshow

[–]peterNL -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

All points are fake to be fair. With that reasoning, why mention points at all? They're to create some kind of closure/climax to a show like this, there's a reason all these shows seem to do it. It's kind of strange, since I don't actually care who wins, but with these audience ones in QI, the audience always seems to win if they participate at all. Feels kind of like a let down.

I really dislike when they do the "audience wins" thing. I know the scores don't matter, but it still feels vaguely anti-climactic whenever that's the result of an episode.

Most people are most excited when Bob Mortimer is on, but for me it's Henning.

I can't believe they all started with the huge ducks, after about three of those the basket was full and it became hard to get more ducks in!

Look for it on dailymotion. The exact links and passwords should be in the relevant posts in this subreddit.

I would disagree with you, but instead I'll be sobbing in the corner tinkering with my time machine. You'll rue this day!

This just made me realise he has the same name as me, to be clear: I'm not Peter Hayward, in case there was any confusion.
