Draft Mechanic Episode #122: Hats, Chai, Traintopia, Arkadia, Sabro hops Hope you’re thirsty, because it’s tea time! We’re maneuvering hat cards in teams or individually in Hats, we’re opening our own tea shops in Chai, and… ok, that’s where the tea metaphors run dry. In other recent plays, we go back to 2006 for Arkadia and back current for Traintopia, and Danielle talks about Sabro hops, one of the trendiest hops going in the biz today. Ok, so there’s not really an overarching theme for this episode. Let that one simmer for a bit. 00:45 Show Intro, News & Updates 02:50 Ashes Reborn 05:49 Wolfgang Warsch’s New Expansions 09:17 Kickstarter Updates 10:23 Kickstarter: Lunar Base 15:55 Recent Plays: Arkadia 28:38 Recent Plays: Traintopia 45:27 Recent Plays: Chai 65:13 On Tap: Chai 70:48 Grey Fox Games Sponsorship Spot 71:31 Six Pack Review: Hats 72:02 Hats: Gameplay Overview 79:38 Hats: Discussion 95:16 Hop Primer: Sabro 100:38 Closing Remarks & Outro We hope you enjoyed today's episode!
