BJ from Board Game Gumbo doesn't get FOMO very often. But in one instance, he did -- he missed the chance to buy AQUA GARDEN from publisher uchibacoya out of Japan not once, not twice, but three times during their crowdfunding projects for the base game, the expansion, and then for Ostia! BJ missed out on some opportunities to get the gam at the VFM at BGG.Spring or BGG.CON, too.
What a bummer!

But with the generous spirit that goes with the Holiday season, one of Santa's elves bought a copy of the game to give as a gift to the Gumbo for Christmas. What a happy day! And what a wonderful gesture!

BJ and Jerod couldn't wait to play, and this is a stream of their play right after reading the rules and playing a test game with Carlos and Mitchell.

Couple of clarifications from BJ's chat with Jerod -- you don't get to place multiple copies of seaweed and coral in the same tank. (They didn't, but they may have mentioned it). Also, they toyed around with the designer's variant on the Advertising space -- you get three choices when you land there (either get full income OR buy an Advanced Fish OR get half-income and still buy an Advanced Fish). You don't have to play that way -- you can just play the Advertising space as written.

Also note that BJ and Jerod threw in the Advanced Fish from the Sea Kings expansion plus the extra powers from the Outdoor expansion. Again, you don't need any expansion fish as there is plenty of content in the base game if you would like to play the game as is.

Thanks for watching!
