We have about fifty more videos to go until they're all live on our BGG Express YouTube channel, and I'm starting to get into crunch mode since multiple games lack BGG listings or cover images or both. I don't have an obvious theme or topic to tie this handful of games together, so I'm going with a non-obvious one. Any guesses?
• Ride the Rails is the second title in Capstone Games' "Iron Rails" series, and Ian O'Toole kills it in the art and design category. The basics of the game are simple, with you taking ownership in railroad lines, and new lines entering play over the course of the game as you build across the United States.
• Telestrations: Upside Drawn from Kane Klenko and The Op puts you in the unusual situation of trying to guess an image that you are drawing. That drawing is a mystery to you because all you're doing is holding the pen while your teammate moves the drawing surface, effectively drawing in reverse. Your role consists solely of lifting the pen from the board and putting it down again and sweating profusely because you can't imagine what the image might be.
• At first glance Piece of Pie from Trevor Benjamin, Brett J. Gilbert, and Blue Orange Games resembles the game Piece o' Cake from 2008, but the only real similarity is that when you slice these desserts, you cut them into triangular wedges instead of cutting out rectangular slices from the center so that you can push the outer parts together to keep them from drying out. Watch and see if you don't believe me.
• Targi: The Expansion from Andreas Steiger and KOSMOS has been a long time coming in an English-language edition, so I'm not sure whether Tom Wetzel from Thames & Kosmos had to do anything more than throw the bits on the table and say, "Come and get it!", but instead he gave a straightforward presentation as if no one's been panting about this thing for years.
• Sea of Legends from Ryan Schapals, Zach Weisman, Jordan Weisman, and Guildhall Studios seems like a vast design that we only got the smallest sampling of at GAMA Expo 2020, but hey, that's better than nothing. The goal of these convention videos is to give you, the potentially interested player, some sense of whether you want to subscribe to a BGG game page, download a rulebook to learn more, tell someone else about the game so that they'll back it on Kickstarter in order to give you a chance to play it, etc.
