Hi everyone, this is Chichou. Welcome to my channel and welcome to a quick little short video as an introduction for the next 17 videos you're going to be loaded on YouTube. And the next 17 videos are basically the live stream, Nalpley marathon games that we had back in 2018 in this space where our sort of gaming group got together here and we ended up doing two days of playing Nalpley our variant rules that we've talked about, right? And what we ended up doing was basically live stream the game with a sort of a top view of the board as well as a couple of other views where you can see us sort of the players and how the dealing takes place and stuff like that. So there's already three videos available on YouTube. All these live streams have been loaded on BitShoot back in 2018, but the three videos that are available on YouTube are sort of me letting you know that we do play Nalpley with our gaming group and we do have a variant rule. So I sort of talked about with that initial video how we go about playing the game and then we put out a video sort of a top view showing you the mathematics of the game, right? Because a lot of people have asked me what the best way is to teach mathematics to kids that are growing up, right? And my reply has basically always been one of the things that I say anyway, one of the best ways to learn mathematics, to apply mathematics in the real world is to play games, board games specifically, right? And also games, computer games and stuff are legit as well, but board games are sort of hands-on way to learn mathematics and Nalpley is a phenomenal way to do it, right? And sort of that second video we sort of go through sort of the mathematics of how to do calculations and what the dealing involves and whatnot, right? And the third video we put out for our Nalpley playlist was sort of me giving you sort of introduction just the way I am now. And at the end of that video I sort of cut out a few minutes of each of the live streams and put them back to back so you can see a condensed version of how the game play takes place during those live streams. But to get a real feel for it is a good idea to watch the each game from beginning all the way to the end, right? And these are rapid monopoly games that we play with D-Lalta cars, we do a little calculation. And as soon as one person, the, you know, as soon as a player can pass as go, they're able to build on the sets that they have, right? But for the details of that you can look at the previous three videos that we have and they're in our monopoly playlist, okay? And the reason I'm uploading these to YouTube now is because we are sort of the huge chunk of the world is sort of in lockdown mode. There's a pandemic going through many countries right now, right? So people are keeping a sort of a physical distance and everybody's at home. And if you're used to playing board games getting together with your board game and group and stuff like that, that's one of the things you must be missing because that is one thing that me and the rest of our game and group we've been talking a little bit and we're trying to get a game going online. But it's not the same thing when you sit around a board and you close proximity to each other and you're talking, you're discussing, you're arguing, you're debating, you're, you're trying to psych each other out and bluff each other out and what not. There's a sort of a dynamics when there's a whole bunch of people sitting around a table with a central focal point being the board. And everybody's focus is on on the board and how the game is going to be played and you're keeping close tabs on all the other players. It's a beautiful state of being, right? So that is something that we are missing and I'm pretty sure there's a lot of gamers out there, board gamers out there that you know what I'm talking about, right? So I thought it was a good idea just to load up these videos to YouTube and share those live streams that we had back in 2018 with you just in case you're missing that, that action, right? Hopefully this will satisfy that craving even even by the slightest, right? Because I ended up watching a little bit of it and it was just so satisfactory and I thought you guys would enjoy it as well. Okay. Aside from that, we do have the rules for this variant game that we play, this rapid monopoly game that we play on our website. The three videos are up on YouTube and BitShoot. The live streams that we're loading on YouTube right now, they are available on BitShoot already, but there is a link and there will be links in the description of this video taking you to the article where we talk about the rules and we have the tables laid out of how much money each person gets and what gets dealt and what not and all that jazz, right? And the videos will be archived in that blog post as well, if you're interested in taking a look and figuring out how these variant rules play and when you're able to get together with your gaming group, I hope you give it a, you give it a go, it is a phenomenal game and it's a lot of fun to play. Aside from that, for the next couple of days, two, three, four days, maybe I'll be loading up these live stream games every few hours and I'll be premiering them and for some of them, I'll try try to be available in the live chat as well, if not for all of them, we'll see how much I can stay on chat chatting away with people, but I'll be premiering these videos on YouTube and I will be available to talk to people live on chat if you're interested in talking about this game and if you do appreciate this content, if you do like this content and what we're doing here, we do have a Patreon page and Patreon is a fantastic way to support this project and I do announce all these videos in the live stream schedules and other things on our Patreon posts, so on our Patreon page, so you can follow the work there, if you, you know, you can support the work through funds if you like or you can just follow the work and you will get updates whenever we post whenever I post something new on there and if you're on YouTube, we did get approved for YouTube membership, so there's a little join button on the page and if you do like this work, supporting this work by becoming a YouTube member is a great way to support this project as well, aside from that quick little intro, I hope you enjoy these live stream, monopoly, variant rules, marathon, rapid games, okay, bye for now.
