00:00When people come to my house and eat dinner, and then afterwards we're like, now what do we do?
00:06Sitting around and talking is boring. Play a board game.
00:11People don't realize how big the world of board games is.
00:15How many board games do you own?
00:16Over 100, maybe 200, a lot.
00:19People think of Monopoly, and it's definitely not that anymore.
00:22You want knitting? There's a game for knitting.
00:24You want riding on dragons? There's a game for riding on dragons.
00:28You want a game about pickleball? There's going to be one soon.
00:32The World Series of Board Gaming.
00:34The winner will walk away with $25,000.
00:37Like, I'm overly competitive.
00:39I injured myself running laps around my cottage celebrating a Trivial Pursuit win over my mother-in-law.
00:44It's a true story.
00:46I'm feeling both nervous and excited.
00:48I am very competitive.
00:50I heard one of them actually played 100 games in preparation.
00:54Things got a little serious now.
00:56He made a play that was illegal.
00:59The way he blocked me unnecessarily.
01:05I am a board game designer.
01:06It starts a much more interesting conversation than I'm a health policy analyst.
01:10Can I get a quick picture?
01:12Yes, ma'am.
01:12I'm a cool kind of famous.
01:14A few thousand people in the world know me, and they're all here.
01:16I am a complete newbie to this.
01:19The day before my Kickstarter goes live,
01:21oh, lordy, this is going to be an interesting couple of months.
01:24Fiction concentrates the beauty of storytelling,
01:28and games concentrate the beauty of practical action.
01:31If games are all there is to do in Utopia,
01:33they must be the meaning of life.
