 Five minutes until the match are about to begin for photosensitive viewers. Please make sure that the performance includes bright and flashing flashing effects, depending on who is playing and how they play the game. There may be swearing and topics that are not family friendly. The stage is set, starting in... 10. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. 1. Go. Hi everyone, my name is Milton. And my name is Patrick, and welcome to the second of three Culture Capital online matches happening this fall. So what is Culture Capital? Culture Capital is a trading card game and performance project about the Canadian performing arts economy, including dance, theater, live art, and sometimes opera. We go to specific regions of Canada and create region-specific versions of the game. So for each regional version of the game, we combine public data about which companies and artists are receiving money from the Canadian government to make their art, with perspectives of artists in that region about how value is being produced and determined in their context. Tonight's game pits two versions of Culture Capital against each other, the Edmonton and Calgary version, and the premiere of the Toronto version. So this project was started when the arts economy wasn't working particularly well for some of its members. And since we are also wondering what a return to normal might look like, well, we are here to remind you. So if you want to learn more about the game and the project, go to culturecapital.cards. There you can also request a deck of your own. We're still building versions of the game for across Canada, so keep in contact, reach out, and look out for future tournaments in your area post-vaccine. But that's not why you're here. You want to know who we are going to e-transfer $500 Canadian of sweet art money to at the end of this game. So, let's begin. Welcome to Culture Capital, the trading card game. A game where the line between culture and capital has disappeared. Today's match is presented in partnership with HowlRound Theatre Commons. Funding for the cash prize has been generously provided by Canada Council for the Arts and BC Arts Council. Tonight's match, Jenna Rogers vs Maddie Batista, Alberta vs Ontario. Players, please contribute grant funding to the government pool and shuffle your decks in preparation for the match. Jenna and Maddie, do you have any words you'd like to exchange before the match? Of the game. Good luck, have fun Jenna. You too. Cool. Each player begins with 20 communities. This will be a match to zero and the winner will receive $500 of sweet art money. To our spectators, place your bets now and feel free to cheer and heckle on your platform of choice. The match is about to begin. Break a leg, have a good show. Match start. Okay, so welcome. Can both of you please unmute your microphones because there's no time for going on and off. We are going to start the game here and as you both know, the tradition for starting a game of culture capital is by determining who has paid the most taxes in the previous year. However, because we are still living in the COVID times, we're going to switch that up a little bit like we did last time and it's the person who has collected the most Serb from the Canadian government that will be going first tonight. Who of you two has collected the most Serb? How many Serbs have you got? Three Serbs, Maddie? Three of them, yes. Jenna, one Serb. Three to one, which means that Maddie, you are going to go first and both players have your decks on hand and begin by bringing seven cards from the deck into your hand now. All right, now to start us off, as you know, there is a Mulligan rule in case you do not have companies in your hand. Would either of you like to use the Mulligan rule? Nope. Nope. Okay, then it is your concept phase, Maddie. Away you go. Thank you. I begin my concept phase. I play my companies. The first of which, night swimming. Night swimming requires me to roll three when I'm in my application phase. And I'm also going to play the Amy project. Okay. Both really awesome companies have a chance to work with and the Amy project requires that I roll one. Enter application phase. I'm rolling for night swimming and I need a one to three. I got a one. Okay, so you get your money. I roll for the Amy project. One out of six chances. I have rolled a six. No dice for the Amy project unfortunately. But in order to keep that grant funding that you have for night swimming, you need to put a project into development at the least. Do you have a project that you can play? I do have a project that I could play. Okay, what are you going to do? I play BIPOC Spock. What is BIPOC Spock? BIPOC Spock is an emotionally restrained debate on the representations of race in sci-fi. Does it match any of the keywords that night swimming has? It does. Night swimming is multicultural and BIPOC Spock is multicultural and tech. Cool. So what is it in development right now? It is worth two points in development. Okay. Is that all you want? A bonus of plus two because it matches night swimming, so it's worth four points. Okay, so is that all you want to do for your production phase? Because I don't think you can open it right now. Yes, that's all that I want. You're moving into strategic planning. Thank you. I'm going to play. I'm going to play indigenous liaison and give myself three community points. I hired an indigenous liaison to help me connect with indigenous communities in the area. 2020-23. Very good. Cool. And that goes to your graveyard after being played. And that is, unless you're going to do anything else in your strategic planning phase, it's then over to Jenna for her first concept phase. Yeah, I end my phases. Cool. Jenna, it's you. Great. So I can discard. Yes, you can. Great. I am almost fast enough. I'm just going to discard one. Is that true? Yeah, I'm going to just discard one into the graveyard. Two, three, four, five, six cards. I'm going to pick up one. Great. I am going to play a company. Okay. It's a non-stage theater. It has a grand power of two and topics of traditional and Canadian. Cool. Yeah. Yeah. Are they going to go for some money? Yeah. I mean, sure. Why not? Let's go for some money. I got a three. So we don't have any money. No money. So that means that you're going to skip your production phase and you're going to go right to strategic planning. What would you like to do if anything in your strategic planning phase? I mean, let's just start off with a good old fashioned. Fuck the system. Whoa. I mean, what does that do? Can you tell us what it does? It's super mean. So fuck the system. I am going to play this on night swimming. Sorry, Brian. Love you. Night swimming is fed up with that. Colonial granting system and refuses to participate anymore. So they disappear from the game and do not return. How could you do this to them? I'm so sorry. So wait, I sent them to the graveyard. So they go to the graveyard and your money goes back to the government. And BIPOC Spock unfortunately never gets to be fully realized. But they've taken a stand. They took a stand, an admirable one. They took a stand, an admirable one. They took a stand, an admirable one. Yeah. Unfortunately, it doesn't mean that the system stops itself. So Jenna, it's still your turn. Was that it? Was that a. Just a normal gray strategy card. Was that a while? It was a wild. Okay. So you actually still have your two. Normal moves for a strategic planning. Should you wish to use them? Yeah. Sure. I've got a hot topic. So let's play a hot topic. Okay. What's it going to be? It's site specific. Okay. So from now on, all projects that are in play. That are a hot topic of site specific are going to be possible. Wow. It's a no. Where do I put it? Just anywhere on the table in front of you so that we can see it. And we'll remember it. And I think. We'll throw it up on the board for our spectators to remember. That site specific is cool these days, especially open air outdoor theater that is going to come our way for. This winter. Yeah. That feels good. That feels like a good amount of things to do this turn. Okay. Which means that we're going to be able to do that. It's your concept phase. Thank you. I draw. Part cards. Awesome. So I would like to. Going to play an instant card. Artists producer training. Where did your producer learn to be how, learn how to be so great generator to go. I actually graduated from APT in 2016. So the target company requires one less grant in order to open any project. And I'm going to give that to the Amy project. Hey, very good. That doesn't change their grant probability though. Right. It's still, you still need to get a one. In order to get it. In order to get a grant. All right. And I am going to. Play. I'm going to roll. Wait, I can't. I put a production in during the production phase. Yes. So you need money before you can put something on the table. Thank you. I'm rolling for the Amy project. Which needs one. Look at this. Look at this. Okay. All right. Because they've got APT on their side, it means that if you want to play a show that needed two grants. And I'm going to play. I'm going to roll. Wait, I can't. I put a production in during the production phase. Yes. You've got all the money that you need. Which is awesome. Because right now I'm going to play. A stone's throw. Which can open. And right now when it's open, it's worth six points. Can you tell us what a stone's throw is about? Oh, thank you. A stone's throw is an old fashioned public stoning meets contemporary call out culture. And it is participatory and traditional. Not site specific as I would hope. Or multicultural and feminist, but it'll do for now. Okay. And I would like to attack Jenna's community points directly. Okay. So we're in our first competition of the night. There is nothing on Jenna's side of the table protecting the interests of people on her side. So our current score is six. Maddie. Is that correct? You've got a project of six. Yes. Against zero. You get to lead the competition. Would you like to add any value to that project? Not at this moment. So, okay. So Jenna, you get to respond. How would you like to respond? I won't. You won't. Which means the competition is over and six communities are going to migrate from, well, Alberta. 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 30. Very good. Is that right? That is not correct. It is six Milton. So we should be 29 to 40. 29. Correct it. Thank you. Great work. So that means Maddie that a stone's throw is closed. It's had a very successful run. Lots of people came to see it. Six. And you are now in your strategic planning phase. What do you want to do? I'm going to play they, them, there. You can't seem to get people's pronouns, right? So they give up on you and you lose two communities, Jenna. 30, 12. Send it to the graveyard. Very good. And that's the end of your turn. That's the end of my turn. And so we're over to Calgary. Okay. I'm going to start by discarding. I have four cards in my hands. I'm going to start by discarding one and I'm going to pick up now four. Okay. Okay. I think the next thing for me to do is to roll for grant. You have any companies that you want to play? No. Okay. Just hanging out with downstage grant powers. That is what's happening. Yeah. So one or two. I think unless I've got something really magical in here. Got a three. Was not downstage's time this time also. No, I'm trying hard. So we skip production phase and we are into your strategic planning again where you were planning on how to survive Maddie's next turn. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. So for what is the night swimming is gone. Amy project is. Is. And has a project. Is that right? They have a project that is currently closed. So it can reopen on Maddie's next production phase. Can we tell, tell me all of the like specialities in there? Absolutely. So a stone's throw is when closed, it is worth four points. When it's open, it's worth six points. And what are the like blue words? Participatory and traditional. Great. I'll just set a trap. Taking very good dramaturgical notes on the situation. I have some scratch pads. I'm so nervous. It's because I can't keep track of anything if I don't write it down. Okay. Yeah. So I've laid a trap. That feels nice. Yep. I feel, I feel good about ending my turn. Okay. Great. So we're back to Toronto. Back to Toronto. Thank you. I draw four cards. Oh, sorry. All right. I play soul pepper theater. Soul pepper. It's keywords are traditional and dramatic. And if I roll, and their grant power is all six sides of the dive. So I don't need to roll to get a grant for them. But you could if you just wanted to rub it in, I guess. Right. No, I won't do that. I play soul pepper. And right now I roll for the any person. And you need to roll what? Oh, I rolled a five for the project. And Amy project requires I roll one. So you already have all the funding that you need for that project. But if you were willing to reopen that, you would need to roll what? Sorry. I, I, I oops. And then I rolled for grants for the project. But would you like me to open it now? Nope. We're going to, you'd have to do it again unless you wanted to roll for, if you want to roll for, well, you're just going to collect money for soul pepper. Okay. I'm going to collect money first for soul pepper. And I am going to play the Ramayana. The Ramayana is a contemporary take on the Sanskrit epic. This gripping story of exile explores profound philosophical and spiritual ideas over a day long South Asian dinner. And its keywords are multicultural and diaspora. Right now it is in development. And it's worth four points. Okay. Now do you want to reopen, as you said before, your stone's throw? Yes. I'm going to try and do that. I need to roll events. And I have rolled a two. Okay. Which means that a stone's throw is back for an extended run. People love it. I actually did a show last year, last spring called the stone's project. And it's about stoning, the stoning of women. So I'm just like, well, this show, this show actually happened last week. Wait, really? Yeah. So I'd like to attack Jenna's points directly. Right now it's worth six. Okay. Do you want to lead that competition, Maddie? Or do you want to defer to Jenna? I'm going to defer to Jenna. Okay, Jenna. I will take it. I'll take, I'll take the hit. All right. Interesting choice. 11, 30, 9, 30, 30, 30, 35. I'm a little bit scared because I wonder if there's a card in your deck that reverses people's community points. And I get Jenna's points and Jenna gets my points. I wonder if there's a card that's like that. Well, we can't say those things because we don't know. But right now, Maddie, it is your strategic planning phase. Or rather, Patrick, we can say that we do know that a card like that exists. Whether or not Jenna has that card in her deck, we're not sure because I believe Jenna has access to four of the Alberta decks. And the card is definitely in one of them. That's true. All right. That's very good to know. And it's kind of scary. Yes, it is. I would like to set a trap. Okay. And I end my turn. Okay. Which means that Jenna. Sweet. I'm just, just hanging out here. Thinking about things. I have, like, I have a lot of cards. I have six. I am going to get rid of two of them. And then draw three. Okay. One, two, three. Okay. I drew a company, which is Shumka. Shumka is a Ukrainian dance company. Woo. They've been around for a long time in Edmonton. They have a grant power of four and are multi-cultural and nostalgic. Okay. So I think now I shall roll. I will attempt to roll for down stage again with their grant power of two. Actually, I'm a liar before I roll. I'm going to roll for Shumka first. Why not? Okay. Grant power of four makes me feel a little better. Got a two. So I can put a grant down, right? Yes, you can. And I will also, I'll just, I'll roll for down stage. Why not? Roll to five. Boom. Down stage will get funding one day. One day. My headphones are in the way. Okay. I am going to play some operating funding for Shumka. Great. So this means that Shumka will keep all their grants in play even after a project is completed. That said, it won't prevent burnout. So Shumka only has a project limit of two. But why not? Sounds good. Where should I put it? You should just put it. Oh, sorry. You can put it next to Shumka is where you can put that card. Great. It means that the target company keeps all their grants even after a project is defeated. So once I collect grants, I don't need to give them back to the government. And what's their grant power again, Jenna? Four. Four. Thank you. Mm-hmm. Okay. So that exists down there. And I will play a sweet project which will be in development. And it's called Nenshi is Menchi. It is a Jewish folk dance celebrating Mayor Nahed Nenshi. He's the 36th mayor of Calgary. It is a multicultural and TYA project. Pretty sweet. And by a Ukrainian dancing company. Mm-hmm. All sorts of hybridity. So it's in development and it is worth two in development plus a plus two boost to multicultural. So that's where that's at. Four points. Mm-hmm. Yep. I feel good. Okay. Strategic planning. You want to just stop? I'm going to stop. You're going to stop. All right. So Maddie, your turn. I will draw three cards. And I will play a company. Why not theater? Hey. They have a grand power of one to five. They are multicultural and edgy. And they have a project limit of three. Oh, I wish I had paired this with a Ramayana. Because that would be a super powerful combo. And strangely real. Yeah. So multicultural and what was the other thing? And edgy. Edgy. A Ravi. A Wace. Kelly. So edgy. So multicultural. So edgy and multicultural. VV Accurate. Okay. I enter my application phase. And because Sultaper has a grand power of one to six, they automatically get a grant. Right now I'm going to roll for why not theater. And I rolled a one. I should have done it. And they win a grant. Now just for housekeeping, Maddie, your stone's throw successfully competed against Jenna last time. So it should be closed again. Thank you. You're in a position now where you are trying to reopen it. Thank you. I'm going to try and first, before I do that, I want to, I'm going to play the project. I'm going to do fromage and pair it with why not theater. A pod play and French cooking show are whisked to perfection in this performance about love language and dexterity. This is such a great fun. The dexterity thing. I was just like, I remember that episode like it was yesterday. Thank you so much. Thank you for watching who doesn't know it. Patrick, can you explain? That is a very infamous episode of Dexter's lab in which he goes to sleep trying to learn French. And it gets paused, I think. Right, Maddie? Do you remember this episode in detail? Yeah, it gets paused on omelette du fromage. And so that's all he knows how to say when he wakes up because that is not how one should try to learn a language. As someone who's quite enthusiastic about learning languages, do not try the omelette du fromage approach. Thank you. Thank you. Is that project in development or does it immediately open? It is, right now it is in development. In development, it is only worth three points. Now I would like to see if I can reopen a stone's throw. I need to roll events. Here we go. I've rolled a six. Which means it's open. Which means it's open. I'm a little bit nervous to see if that card, if Jenna has the card in her hands. Because I've been keeping track of what you've been getting rid of. There's one card that you haven't really gotten rid of. I think. I could be wrong. Either way, I'm prepared. So you're the leading competition. But Maddie, just so that the table is clean, can you make sure that your why not show is flipped to be in development and not closed so we don't forget next time? Oh, thank you. Thank you. So it is your competition. Yeah, it does seem like something is up the sleeve of your opponent, but let's find out what happens. How do you want to lead this competition? Do you want to do anything first? I'm going to attack the card that is closed. Because I can't attack community points directly when there is. You cannot. So there is a bit of, there's something in the way the audiences are still partially swayed by Jenna's show over there. Jenna, what's your show again? Menchi is Menchi. Right. Menchi is Menchi. Of course. Why wouldn't they be swayed? So it's a stones throw versus Menchi is Menchi. It's a six against a four, I believe. Is that correct? Yeah. You're up to Maddie. How do you want to start? I'm just going to attack Menchi is Menchi directly. Okay. Two point difference. Jenna, how do you want to respond? I will respond with, because it's funny and I really want to play it. I'm going to respond with nudes. I'm going to buff myself. All my performers were waxed before their end development showcase. And the audience is captivated by how smooth they are. Namely, Menchi. Yeah. So there's this very slick multicultural dance project that is now worth eight. Which means that you are up to. So it's six serving eight. Maddie, how do you want to respond? I want to respond by revealing my trap card. You cannot play your trap card? Hold on Maddie. You cannot play your trap card because you are in offense at this point. Oh, thank you. Remember that. So you don't have access to your trap card. Jenna, however, on defense does. It is still six serving eight. What do you want to do? I'm going to play, because it's funny, worse than a selfie. Yes, your performers might be waxed, but their headshots are so terrible. And your project loses one point. Okay. Which means that it is now seven serving six. Jenna, how do you want to respond? Well, if I'm ahead, can I just end it? You can, or you can dig your heels in and keep trying to, you know, get more community points from your opponent. Oh, does this get more community points? I don't close it. Like I have to close it. I have to obliterate it. Is that what I have to do? If it ends right now, you're going to take one point. I'm going to take one point and just the show. You could add more to your score. You could add more to your show or you could take away from Maddie's project and the difference would be greater. I see. That is up to you. But it ends up being community points. Okay. There will always be community points that are traded. And Jenna, maybe to answer more specifically, if you do win this competition, even with one point, your company and your project would stay and Maddie's would then go to the graveyard. Yeah, that's sort of what I was getting at. Sorry. Yes, that is what will happen. Yes. Thank you. The Amy project is on the line right now. Yeah. No, that's enough. Okay. Yeah. So that's it. That's going to be it. One point is going to go from Toronto to Calgary. 34. And sadly, that is the end of the Amy project and their stellar production of... No. Oh. Oh. That's too much. I can't believe you killed one of the only theater companies to serve Brown Femmes. But they got a good run and look how many communities came to you for that, which I expand. So just some housekeeping, Maddie, your strategy card that was there, it's also to the graveyard and it's actually still your turn. So we are in your strategic planning phase. Maddie Bautista. What do you want to do? That was your turn. That was your production. Right, that's true. I was on the offensive. Okay. Yes. Thank you. Right now, I am not going to play anything for strategic planning. Over to you, Jenna. Okay. Cool. I have three cards that I feel good about. So I'm just going to take four, which is great. I have a company. I'm going to play this company. It is a lunchbox theater, but I want to very sadly just give up their space. COVID has not been kind to our pals at lunchbox theater. They do lunchtime theater shows. They are traditional and Canadian. They have a granting power of three. I have faith that they will survive. I hope. That's that. It is a unique thing actually in the entire country, isn't it? Like, I don't think there's anyone else who's at least at the sort of operating level that they're at, but I think it's really dedicated to showing performances at lunch. I wanted the urban design of Calgary that would allow that. Like that there were people there who would see it. I guess. They have a loyal audience. They used to be in a building in a college. And so they got a lot of audiences like on lunch breaks, but now they're new building. Not so much. They have a dedicated audience of blue hairs. And I'm not sure what's going to happen as they transition to a year in development and sometimes project based company. Can you clarify the concept of the blue hair? I mean that the bulk of their audience is over 65. Right. Blue. And also voting a certain way is what you're suggesting. No, not necessarily. No. I was like, is this a, because a gray hair seems to be, anyways. Not in Alberta. I was just being polite. They all just have blue hair. Everyone's so cool. Yeah. No, unfortunately voting in Alberta is fresh. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. The key words Jenna. Traditional and Canadian. Thank you. Okay. So I have, I'm just going to go down the row. One, two, three. I'm going to roll for downstage, which needs a grant. I need a one or two. I rolled a three. So sorry, downstage. You will just continue to hang out in the arts comments, which is currently closed. Shumka needs one, two, three or four. I rolled out of my screen, but it's a two. Okay. Yeah. So that gets another grant, which will open this project. Do I turn that now? You'll turn it now to be open. Okay. Is this an enchi? Is it enchi? Yeah. That's right. And we'll roll, we'll continue on your application phase before moving on to production. That's right. So I'm going to roll for a lunchbox, which needs one, two or three. And I got a five. So lunchbox is not getting a grant right now. Sadly. So, which means that we are in your first initiated production phase, Jenna. Yes. And what do you want to do? Goodness gracious. So we have soul pepper and wine out on the board. And what are the pros? So an enchi is menchi is worth four as it's open and it's got a two point multicultural boost. So it's worth six hanging out right now. So you get to choose who you're going to choose. Between soul pepper or why not? And their respective shows. And I think only soul pepper has a show. Is that right? No. Why not? And soul pepper both have shows. I'll show them to you right now. Thank you. Right now they're both in development. The Ragnayamna is worth four project points in development. And it's multicultural in diaspora. However, it doesn't get a new bonus. And neither does on the left. It's not on the right. Which in development is worth three points. And it's experimental and poetic. Sorry. And it's worth how many two points? Three. Thank you. And what's the goodness gracious? The project. What's the project limit on soul pepper and on why not? Are they both threes? They're both threes. Sweet fun. I think I will go for the Ramayana and soul pepper right now. We'll leave Ravi alone. It's the Ramayamna. Ramayamna. right now, we'll leave Ravi alone. It's the Ramayamna, just to... Oh, Ramayamna. It's an eat it, it's a show in which people eat. Well, we're gonna hang out with, we're gonna talk to this weird hybrid, way need Ravi show. Dope. But Ramayamna, Yamna. That's what I'm going to go for. So that's six against four. Six serving four. So you get to lead that competition, Jenna. Do you want to add anything to Nenshi is Menchi? Do I want to add anything to Nenshi is Menchi? Do I? Sure, why not? Nenshi is Menchi is not only waxed, I mean, they are no longer waxed, but you know, weak old wax. They're also an all queer cast. The future is queer, so plus eight. That's... Hang. So it's a large gathering of queer Ukrainian dancers featuring the mayor. That's right. So that is six plus eight, which is 14. 14, indeed. So it is 14 to four, so four serving 14 right now. Maddie, what are you gonna do? I respond with my trap card, a flash in the plan. The succession plan didn't work out. The new AD show promised, but is inexperienced and needs more time. And you lose the eight points that you just added, Jenna. Tragic. So that means we are back at a six-four game. Jenna, how do you want to respond? I think I'm going to respond with a land acknowledgement. It was a blunder and you forgot the sutinination during your land acknowledgement, and that puts you at minus four. Okay, so that is a zero to six. Maddie, how do you want to respond? I want to respond with escapism. I added an escape room angle to my show. So the Ramayana is not just this epic tale with food, it's also an escape room. So I go from zero to six. Can we just sit with that for a moment and imagine what, I mean, I guess it's like a family dinner that you can't leave. At soul pepper. You have to find the clues. The family secret is buried inside the bowls of soup that you have to eat. When you finish the soup, you see like an image and it gives you... All right, so what's our score is that right now? I'm back up to six. You're back up to six. Maddie, can you leave those cards on your table just so that we can get back up? Oh, so sorry, absolutely. What's going on, right? So you've got six. Jenna, you've also got six. Yeah. And so it's a six-six game. How do you want to respond, Jenna? I'm going to respond with a divided audience. So this development work of food at soul pepper in an escape room, you didn't realize that your in-development show dates are at the same time as a very popular show and your tickets sales suffer and that's minus six. But put you back to zero. No one came to the workshop. Oh dang. So it's a zero-six a game again. I respond to that. I choose you. I wrote right at first refusal contracts into my designers and my staff and they appreciate the clarity and they put more work into the project. So I go from zero to four. That's very wholesome. So it's four to six, still a two-point deficit. Jenna, do you want to call it or are you going to keep going? You've bled out each other's cards basically. I know, I know, I know. Create quite a complicated situation. Yeah, it's true. It's true. Okay, okay, okay. I'll take that as a sign. I'll call it. Okay, so that's two points to Calgary. 30's 32. All of your strategy cards that you've just played in that are going to the graveyards. Maddie, unfortunately, the time, we won't get to see whether or not or like how people actually digest the Ramayumna in full production because it's going to go to the graveyard. No, goodbye. We're going to send that money back to the government. Jenna, it's still your turn. Nenshi is Menchi is closed now. They need a bit of a break, but it can come back. And it's your strategic planning phase now. Thank you. And just for my own clarification, does that mean now that Soulpepper has only two projects remaining? That is correct. Great. This is how I'm trying to remember things. I'm going to place a card underneath the companies. Jenna, so you can keep in track as well. Thank you. I appreciate that. I'll move it here so we have more visual. I think I'm good. Okay. So Maddie, it is your concept phase. Discard and then draw and play companies. Thank you. I will discard one card and draw six cards. Four, five, wait. Two, three, four, sorry. Very persistent time effects. And this is your sixth one. Thank you for your patience. Okay. Okay. Sorry, I just want to read. Sorry, this is like the most I've ever drawn. So now I want to read and make sure I know what I have. Cool. At this moment, I am going to roll for why not theater. One to five and I got a four. Congratulations. I had a grant. Soul Pepper Theater, they always get grants. So I'm just going to give them one. And I'm going to play the show craps, last vape. New science about the effects of vaping has 16 year old crap thinking back on their best years and recording themselves with an early death. Reconciling, sorry, reconciling themselves with an early death. It's keywords are traditional and poetic. And because it's traditional and Soul Pepper has a keyword traditional, it gets an additional bonus point. So in development, it's where it's five points. Now you've got two grants on why not. Does your show need three to be open or is it open? I'm going to let them do fromage. I don't think has ever opened. Is this true? How many grants does it need to open is what I'm asking. Two. Oh, sorry, two. Two. That means that that show is open and it must compete against Jenna's Nenshi as Menchi. It must. It absolutely must. Unfortunately, we cannot pretend like we are not in a system in which we are pitted against each other. Okay. And then I shall go up against Nenshi as Menchi. Revenge. So on that, the fromage is against Nenshi as Menchi. Now, Jenna, you have the option because Nenshi as Menchi is closed right now, you have the option to reopen it or try to reopen it by rolling the dice. And do you want to use that option? Is there any consequence to using that option? Well, if you get the dice, if you get the right die face, is it even or is there odds that Nenshi as Menchi needs to do? Odds. Odds. So if you get odds, it opens and you have a slightly higher value because that's working all at the same time. But if it's not, then it's just, it stays, it stays in a closed position, but you still must defend it. Sounds like that's probably what I should do. Try to open it. Got to open it. Roll. Got a four. So it's still closed. It's going to stay closed and it'll be the memory of that show that is facing off against. Yeah, the slightly stubbly all-queer cast. Yeah. Did Jenna enter the application phase there? No, she did not. It is currently your turn still, Maddie. And it's your production phase. So right now it's your Omelette de Frommage against Nenshi as Menchi. Nenshi as Menchi has a value of what, Jenna? So it's closed, it has a value of three, but it still gets the multicultural boost. It is five. Five. So it's five and Omelette de Frommage is six. Six to five. Six serving five. How do you want to begin, Maddie? I'm just going to attack directly, no boosting. Okay. So one point difference. Well, Jenna, how would you like to respond? You're down one point. Yes, but this goes to the graveyard if it's defeated. It does, and it sends that money back to the government. Oh no, it doesn't because Shumka has operating, so. But you would still lose the show. I mean, but so many options. I'll try this, the flash in the pan. Ooh, that we've seen that before. So a flash in the plan. It is a minus eight, which means that Maddie, you are down to a negative two to Jenna's five. We've got a seven point difference. How do you want to respond? I would like to respond with an international tour. So Omelette de Frommage is earning international favor, which makes us significant cultural export. We're going to all of La Francophonie and people are loving it. Yeah, it's a tour across Europe. People love it. So that means that you are at eight and Jenna, you are at five. There's a three point difference. Jenna, what do you want to do? Five serving eight. I'll leave it. Indeed. Okay. That means that you are down to six and Maddie is up to 35. Please send your strategy cards to the graveyard and Nenshi is Menshi. We will bid farewell. Underneath. She has one more show, I believe, before it has to burn out. That's right. But you get to keep your money. So Maddie, it's still your turn. Strategic planning. What do you want to do? Strategic planning. I want to play a hot topic. Poetic. There's still beauty in this world, isn't there? All projects and play with the keyword poetic are boosted for the rest of the game or until replaced by another hot topic. Okay. So site specific goes away. Site specific is gone. Poetic is now what is cool. And we continue on. Nothing else you want to do, Maddie? I guess I'll let Jenna know that both of my cards have poetic. In their values. Oh, sorry. In their keywords. So right now craps last debate in development is worth eight points. And I'm a different match is worth seven points. Sorry. Craps last baby is actually worth nine points in development because it's paired with soul peppers here. Make it real hard. It's the hot topic. It's the times. Romantic about things. Jenna, what do you, it's your turn. It's your concept phase. Discard, draw, play in companies. All that fun. How do you want to begin? Maybe I'll just start off by playing the card Maddie is afraid of. In the shoes of another where we switch our community points to give me a fresh start. It is actually a fresh start is the name of another card, which is really evil. But this is happening. And at a much 30, not 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20. 35 6, 35. How do you feel Maddie? Is that an epic card? It is an epic card. It is the one epic card that Jenna has. You still have yours possibly unless you've discarded it. But as we've seen in the past, not to not to cast, you know, you know, like ill omens on you Jenna, we've seen in the past that just because that card is played does not mean it guaranteed. And I'm prepared for it actually even without knowing that this card existed I felt that it is that you had it in your hand Jenna. Well I thought discarding six and also you were okay with me taking so many points so I felt a lot of fear about this hot topic change because I don't know how much I've got that's poetic in my deck so uh and you probably don't have another hot topic card on you well I don't know if I'm allowed to I can't remember it doesn't matter I'm gonna I have I have I have one card that I will hold on to for fun and draw six one okay great six uh well this is very funny um yep I definitely know where I'm at in this whole process uh okay let's start um I think I'm just gonna go down the line again and just go one two three four rolls I'm gonna start with downstage which needs a one or two it got a five I think there we go no money for downstage no money for downstage just gonna hang out in my hand I get Claire I know I'm sorry Claire um Shumka needs a one two a four it has a five uh so that doesn't get a grant but it still has those two on it so you can still play a project um uh the end of this application phase and then lunchbox needs a one two or three three you see that so lunchbox gets some money there we go uh and then it's okay it's okay I think I did something backwards but it's okay I'm just gonna keep saying that to myself it'll be fine it's gonna be fine thank you thank you maybe maybe not who knows um uh great so lunchbox uh we're gonna play and it's gonna go well what am I doing I drew too many new cards now I'm just trying to figure out all of the things that I'm doing I apologize so I am going to uh uh why not we're gonna play uh the dildo and anus tell us what's that show about yeah I mean you can only guess right it's a rock hard opera adaptation for cells masterpiece dido and anus it's musical and a queer and it takes two uh grants to open and uh that makes it in development for Shumka is it only it only needs two grants though and Shumka's got two grants which means that that show on Shumka is open right now it's open great that's what that's thank you that's what I need uh and then I play decolonial practices are you are you going to play another card she does need to play another card but you've played that and it's going to be uh you have to play that card now at the end of this phase but now Jenna does have a little bit of a foresight as to which card she wants to play uh where it'll be a application phase that you'll have to do all right well while I'm doing musicals I think maybe we'll do another musical with lunchbox um to do treat yo self uh treat yo self is a modern rap retelling of treaty seven negotiations seven uh 1877 is an indigenous musical does not match with the traditional canadian of lunchbox uh but it is worth three points okay now because maddie jumped the gun but she's played it anyway so you maddie can you read this card out so that people know what's going on decolonial practices let's decolonize our industry at the end of your opponent's application phase play this card to make them justify how each of their projects promote decolonial practices you be the judge each project they fail to convince you of loses one grant okay so uh Jenna you know this card uh what uh maddie is the judge so you can start whichever project you want to start with uh yeah sure I'll start I suppose with what I um anticipate to be uh objectively more difficult which is dildo and anus here which is a queer musical being taken on by shunka which is a multicultural and nostalgic company um I think that the culture clash that exists between the operating company and the radical departure from their nature is uh somewhat decolonial in practice the notion that a nostalgic company rooted in tradition is taking on a queer musical is about questioning the core values of what made that company and exploring what it could potentially become in the future what is the jury not convinced the jury is not convinced which means that one of those grants is going back to the government jenna but I have operating funding it doesn't matter in this situation great goes back and your show reverts to in development but moving down the line and the jury is now going to turn to their next application which says uh what uh this is um treat yourself a modern wrap retelling of treaty seven negotiations set in 1877 paired with lunchbox theater which is a traditional canadian theater and not unlike lunchbox this past year I think that this is a meaningful partnership with a local community company that is rooted in indigenous storytelling and has a modern contemporary wrap treatment to um appease the new hamilton finding fans who also attend lunchbox theater on the regular it is an opportunity for our blue-haired audiences as we like to say to be exposed to stories they may not have otherwise heard um and for the company to engage in indigenous practices um from start to finish I am convinced can you imagine if that was the way that we just get thumbs up thumbs down like a roman emperor uh all right well congratulations treat yourself um you don't lose any of your money jenna it's still your turn your production phase however has been cut short because you have no shows that are open now and uh you move into your strategic planning sure uh let's let's do this uh never got off the ground burn two cards from your opponent's hand okay which cards how many cards do you got there matty you're three cards you got three cards this is my right hand this is my left hand i want to burn your right and your left hand my right and my left hand yeah okay they are burned thank you great and it's still your strategic planning jenna should you wish to play anything else uh no i feel good okay back to you matty all right i draw six fresh cards sorry now i have to read all of them now two three four five six seven okay well despite the score difference you've got two pretty strong companies uh fairly well recognized companies on the table and i'm planning to claw back those points uh i'm sure the audiences wouldn't appreciate that kind of language but i we with your talents uh what are you gonna do i'm planning to share communities in a meaningful way with you that's what i learned from decolonized practice see how many cards do you have in your hand jenna four four okay all right i'm going to roll for why not theater and well actually no i'm sorry i i don't need to because they already have the grant for omelette from ash and soda salt pepper so i don't need to roll for grants apologies everybody um i enter my um production phase so hold on a second matty you how many grants do you need another grant for salt pepper because you need to oh wait yes i do oh my god thank you but salt pepper has a 100% percentage i mean you could if you want and was there rolling to reopen was the first yeah that's what i want to know is like did you want to roll to reopen why not theaters production yes i'm going to roll to open now okay and what do they need to roll right now they need even to reopen okay omelette from ash um and i rolled a three so i do not reopen okay so neither of your shows are open right now no that's what you're saying okay let's see i play the strategy card um you're a racist you accidentally let a performer go on stage with blackface accidentally change the context of the entire show indeed accidentally in quotes so you lose three communities shenna 30 32 is there anything else that you want to play at this stage of your strategic planning matty oh um also the target player must have a company in play to send to the graveyard um sorry is this for is this for you're a racist yes that just means that you can play that card because jenna does have companies that are on her side of the table so oh that i can yeah you did play that and so you're allowed to play that card oh thank you thank you sorry i thought i thought the company would be sent to the graveyard after the single use but no unfortunately well you know maybe that's something that needs to change it or on another card whether or not companies do fold after acts like that um that is yet to be seen so is that the end of your turn matty that is the end of my turn which means that jenna it is your turn uh okay with a sizeable lead uh hey um i'm gonna just draw three great uh okay i have a partner that is the bamf center 100 percent uh grand probability yeah um and i'm gonna partner with lunchbox theater they're really interested in this treat yourself um action uh they want to get in on the good good indigenous so we're going to hang out there okay i think that's what i'm going to do that and then that feels good uh so i'm going to just take the grant for lunchbox now yes okay yep that is sorry i should say that i'm moving phases but melton's doing such an excellent job of moving along i know we i think everyone is if anyone's keeping with us right now then they've learned the game's rules and they're gonna be fine okay you want to roll though for your other companies i will this one is just gonna open so i'm flagging that as a thing uh and then for uh let's just roll for downstage let's see if we can get downstage some money come on claire come on claire oh it rolled a one right there okay that does receive a grant uh and i like to keep it you need a project do i have a project uh i have a project called do i want to play that project what am i doing at fucking dramatic uh fucking dramatic is a traditional trauma play inspired by something from hbo lots of sex tons of danger cool uh obviously uh it is uh open um because it only needs one grant to open it is worth two and has a boost of three for down stages uh traditional okay so that means that we've got two shows is that the end of your application phase you're done uh i haven't rolled for shumka yet okay would you like to yes would i like to do i want to have that many shows open well it's up to you but one of them will get a chance to compete with something on maddie's side of the table so only one of them will compete each one of them but they don't stack in competition no they do not work together i mean uh i don't need to roll for shumka this time too is enough for my little brain to handle okay so that means that you need to pick the which of your projects is competing against which of maddie's projects so maddie you said you had something like bananas like six and nine going on over there um so craps last bake which is the salt pepper uh it's developed it's point basis four plus one because it's with salt pepper plus four so it's nine in development and omadad du fromage is um wait it's closed right now so it's worth eight like a lot of points for closed shows when my open shows are worth like five and six indeed so they're eight and nine and if you target omad du fromage it will reopen it has the chance to reopen sorry it has the chance to reopen what are you gonna do uh god i i feel like i feel like i i walked into some kind of trap uh but i i did it to myself and that's very fun uh so let's um let's target uh craps la vape craps last vape last vape last vape there we go yeah great um and uh we will i guess we'll start off with downstage okay so it's downstage against salt pepper i believe yeah craps last vape against fucking dramatic fucking dramatic great great pair so how do you want to lead that competition the score difference is nine for craps last vape and is that two or three five nine five with the boost yeah five with the boost so five serving nine uh do you want to add anything to that jenna uh no no so maddie it's your turn you can add value to your show or take it away from jenna's how do you want to respond uh craps last vape i'm the nine right you're the nine she's the five um i won't add anything to it you're just gonna take four points okay so you uh you're not adding anything which means that that is a end of that competition uh four points go from jenna to maddie 38 29 28 great so this part is now dead it is now dead downstage i believe is also gone to the graveyard their money back to the government via taxation and you move on to your next open project uh this sweet one worth uh six uh is will also uh go up against craps last vape okay so it's six to nine how do you want to lead that competition jenna i won't you won't so maddie how do you want to respond to the fact that your uh opponent is not changing your score it's really weird i'm trying to understand what's going well the thing is that when a show opens sometimes i think what's happened is that a show opens you don't realize that it has to compete and there's no way to uh change its value what do you tell me but i always know exactly what i'm doing sorry that's just me possibly observing this is this is a wild strategy you have no idea wild strategy all right maddie so it's six to nine it's or nine serving six in your favor do you want to add anything or take anything away from jenna's project nothing adding nothing to take away okay which means that three points go from jenna to maddie 20 20 25 and that show also goes to the graveyard uh jenna a mark against lunchbox they can do one more show before burning out lunchbox loses their grants you go back to the government via taxation and you move into strategic planning cool um i am going to uh i mean goodness we have some uh very compatible cards and that's really fun so i'm gonna play play strategy card now right yeah you're a racist your turn for the same reasons yeah it it is you accidentally let a performer go on stage with blackface and it changed the context of your entire show you think that you would think that someone doing that in one part of the country would mean that other people in the other parts of the country would learn yes sadly that's not the case that was messing up the open letters weren't as viral that's no not really uh so so that means that maddie's going down 12 11 10 three just three three three yeah um and then how many of these puppies can i play uh you can play one gray diamond at the end of your turn plus laying a trap but you already have a trap i have a trap and you can and that is it great then that feels great what a great way to end it what a great way so we're going back to toronto thank you everyone i will discard um three cards from my hand um and in my concept phase i draw four more cards sorry two three and four all right um i have a question are there limits to how instant cards need to be played can can you there is no limit to the number of instants that you want to play or can play in a row there might be a logic uh issue if the instant stipulates that it must be played at a certain time for example when you play decolonial practices it could only be played at the end of your opponent's application phase application phase so if you're playing your everything happens linearly so if you play one instant it has to happen and then the next one is going to happen after that does that make sense great to know thank you you're welcome all right um right now i play um operating funding the target company keeps all their grants in play even after a project is defeated and i will tie that to soul pepper theater soul pepper is stacked um i'm also going to i'm going to enter my application phase okay soul pepper wins one grant and craps last week is open i'm going to roll for why not theaters on the left do fromage they need to even or odd if they need um evens to reopen okay and i got a three so i'm going to do fromage stays closed i'm going to play decolonial practices on you oh oh dang okay what a turn of events i don't know we've never had two two decolonial practices against each other so maddie you know who the jury is you know how this works okay how do um how does the project um promote decolonial practices how do each of your projects even the closed ones even the closed one yes you have to do both oh my gosh okay let me look at them okay i'm going to start with a more difficult one craps last week so the new science about the effects of vaping has 16 year old crap thinking of a back on their best years and reconciling themselves with an early death um soul pepper theater usually uh does traditional and dramatic plays and this one is a traditional and poetic play and we're exploring the life of the teenager crap who is who has in a way uh struggling with um addiction regarding nicotine and vaping and um um we want to center crap who is a teenager of color and really um we're got the pressures on i could hear like the grounded g um i think we we we're here to center um a young person of color who is thinking about their death and um the end of the play um isn't one that there there's so many plays out there that has trauma uh that has poc bodies experience trauma in them and craps last week is actually um a fun play and there's some hope for crap at the end that they find that's crap but uh thank you while it sounds like a compelling narrative i don't i am not convinced that the practice that brings the show together is decolonial unfortunately okay good bye crap so crap is not dead crap is not dead just you lose a grant just loses one grant it's just not dead it's not gone okay i thought it's dead so it goes back to in development exactly yeah let's see omelette du fromage a pod play and french cooking show are whisked to perfection in this performance about love language and dexterity um how omelette du fromage is decolonial because it's a pod play um the directors and the producers are really following the um taking the actors are taking the lead on what the process is going to be shaped like and so um they're we're really flexible in the rehearsal process and making sure that everyone is well rested it's the perfect play to put up during the pandemic and everyone is listening to each other's needs listening it's a pod play um yeah that's that's jury jury what we're not working the capitalist um nine to rehearsing from nine a.m to five p.m and we're using all the safety protocols because it's digital but while it's digital we're still checking in with everyone making sure everyone feels safe that's omelette du fromage uh you're right that's a little bit tougher um i i i think that um i think that those are some good working practices but i don't necessarily understand how it divorces us from the land and notions of like land-based practice and how that is incorporated and filtered down to your audiences or through your content um uh so i'm going to decline you on this one i'm so sorry okay decline i'm gonna that's the politeest way to say okay omelette du fromage is closed um so actually maddie because that show needs two grants to open it needs to revert to development oh actually that's great okay uh so great uh great work jenna way to uh way to decline politely uh and for all watching i think those are very justifiable uh you know explanations as to why those failed to be decolonial uh as you explained they were challenging players to decolonize they were what's an anomaly right now is that you gave feedback which the candidate council isn't doing right now for some reason and so thank you for giving concerted and focused detail feedback for your applicants um this episode is brought to you by money from the candidate council uh so maddie it is your uh strategic planning phase because your production phase is kind of moot let's see i think i'm going to i'm going to end my turn okay cool so jenna what uh you're back in concept phase discarding drawing playing companies i'm discarding one and drawing five okay who shuffled these um this is always my problem okay i have uh i have two companies that's exciting why not let's play all the companies um uh familiar to many people this is the citadel theater it has a grand power of six and project limit of three that it is traditional traditional traditional located in edmonton what is traditional anyway uh and then we have a punctuate theater also based at edmonton i've got three out of four and edmonton going on right now so alberta represent punctuate theater is indigenous and political um it has a grand power of two and a project limit of one great i actually feel like we're competing this evening with a reading from bears are we not five punctuate theater i feel like i got an email from playwrights canada press uh it's another night it's possible but i know that sheldon who is the performer in it is performing an azimuth's production that i worked on in edmonton right now oh never mind never mind it's a different uh maybe it's another night could just be another human performing uh uh oh gosh the stress of this all okay so i'm in a place where i am gonna roll some stuff okay that's exactly what you're gonna do so it's application phase pick the order that you want to go in and roll away uh well for bamcenter the partner with lunchbox theater and the citadel they each get a grant so i'm just going to take those and not the labor of that and then i'm going to look at my hand and think really hard about my options i am going to uh i'm going to roll for a grant for punctuate which requires a one or two and it goes six no grant no days uh and then i guess i will roll uh this is in development so i'll roll for a grant for shumka which requires one two three or four it rolled off on the screen but it is a four okay so that's a grant which opens dildo and anus uh what sorry what yeah uh an open dildo in an opening this uh hanging out over here it's a queer musical rock hard opera adaptation uh worth six points um by ukrainian dance company okay let your imaginations run wild to keep those two grants that you've also gone to the table we need some projects down oh yeah otherwise you're sending them back no that's good that's a good a wonderful reminder uh let's uh whoa be so good if things uh partnered clearly but unfortunately this is not the luck of the draw uh in in development uh we're gonna put the the 94 for the citadel okay the 94 is a 10-point project a massive community experience in which 94 members of the public indigenous and settlers alike gather to recite the 94 calls to action put forward in 2016 by the truth and reconciliation reconciliation committee every day for 94 days the 94 hang it's an indigenous and participatory show it is in development at the citadel daryl and christine tearing it up uh and then um uh and then for lunchbox because why not uh the project in development is going to be uh residential school uh residential school is a story about a young girl's experience at residential school coming to terms with the ghosts of the past it is an indigenous show and it is in development okay so you've got one open which means that it is competing jumpka and their dildo and anus production adaptation of henry pressell uh going against which of maddie's productions which is maddie's massive production but i believe they're still out of nine for cramped glass of ape and an eight or no it's changed what is omelette du fromage now omelette du fromage uh it is seven this is a seven in development seven or nine what do you want to do uh which one is the one that has a company that's already burned a project um salt pepper theater so i'm gonna go uh i'm just i'm gonna keep hitting salt pepper i think okay what is that one is that a nine yes uh great dildo and anus versus craps lost vape how do you want to begin jenna uh uh weirdly after the decolonial practice explanation um salt pepper published a letter explaining why their version of cultural appropriation was not like other peoples um keep digging keep digging so that's a minus 10 which means that maddie you're at minus one and jenna uh what's dildo and anus at is it a six six it's a six okay six so it's minus one serving six maddie how do you want to respond how many cards do you have on your hand jenna i have to tell you you do yes two two uh awesome i'm going to play the card never got off the ground burn both of those cards please and i'm going to respond uh because that was an instant card i'm going to respond with a metcalf mentorship thanks to the metcalf foundation i can offload some of my admin admin onto a younger artist and focus more on my craft that sounds nice but also a little exploitative just a bit so i get six points uh plus six how would you describe what a metcalf mentorship does this is a great question is also is that like very similar bcac i most frequently yes most frequently if you've applied for the internship stream of the early career development it's so unfair to the people who went through like metcalf mentorships because i know some really awesome people yes i also know some really good part oh yeah i did the people who hired them also want to offload some labor to to them for sure and whether or not their organizations actually run by virtue of having someone to offload that labor onto oh it's getting hot what uh what's our points like now so i go well i believe you've got nine and jenna's got six because you just got a metcalf and how much was that metcalf for six points oh it's only six oh never mind so you're at five to six i i will let that be which means because i can't have any cards you don't have anything else to do so maddie that means that you are unfortunately going to lose your uh your craps last vape but you don't lose those grants because you've got operating funding awesome that goes to the the graveyard so that's two out of three projects down now right two out of three projects down yeah so maybe keep that card underneath solepepper uh maddie remember oh and your shimka show uh closes and takes a break takes a much needed rest and patrick what is the score uh the current score is that one point is going from ontario to albert 26 that is the current score and so jenna that was your turn which means that we are i mean i could strategic plan but i have zero cards exactly so no planning uh no planning for you maddie it is your turn though now concept phase and just to interject uh i just want to check in with our players about a bathroom break we have been playing for over an hour and a half now uh do either of you want to or need to uh take a bathroom break or fiver i'm still good to go let's check in again in 20 minutes yeah yeah for sure yes check in okay sounds good all right over you maddie i'm going to drink some water first hey um i'm going to get rid of two cards and draw five more really making this difficult for milton maddie seven sorry thank you i get so nervous you've had a tough time with companies in uh in toronto over there maddie you've only got two for a long time all right um i enter my application phase um right now uh because i have no i don't really need to actually i do really need to roll a grant for grants uh why not theater i'm rolling for it right now i need a one to five okay i got a one okay so it wins one grant i'm gonna do from our she can now open um and then i also play the project hot garbage a piece about those hot summer days where the trash bags waiting on the side of the street now so putrid that your nose hair is set on fire and it is a um poetic um piece and it can also open because it's poetic it's worth five points okay both i'm gonna do fromage and hot garbage are open okay so i'm gonna do fromage is what when it's open maddie the full point it's 10 it's worth 10 points it's 10 and hot garbage is five so you have three choices across from you uh which which one do you want to compete with let's see which ones are the closed ones jenna our dildo and anus is closed the 94 and residential school is in development okay so just like when i say the anus is closed don't you uh when something is in development you can't roll to open it yes you need no you cannot no okay how much are each of those shows worth general uh not much sadly the 94 is worth five in development dildo and anus is closed and worth four and uh residential school is worth three in development all right um i can only attack once right with each each company gets to each project and company gets to attack once okay good to know let's see should i do and dildo and anus is worth five it's worth four closed and six open four closed and six open all right still funny i want to attack dildo and anus gently uh so i jenna because you've been targeted uh you get to roll to reopen sorry what's the show that i'm rolling to reopen you're deciding whether or not you want to reopen dildo and anus okay great well thank you um it requires odds to reopen okay i got a six so it does not reopen it's gonna stay closed uh but it can still be targeted by uh maddie's which show are you targeting maddie um i'm going to do omelet du fromage okay omelet du fromage against dildo and anus a 10 against a four that is the current point difference maddie how do you want to lead this competition do you want to play something or do you want to defer yes i do i want to play big city blues everyone you know is depressed burning out and thinking about moving to kingston ottawa or possibly even halifax so this brings your points down to minus four so sorry it's minus four points it's minus four so it's a 10 to a zero currently because uh you're closed right now so jenna how do you want to respond uh i have a trap on the table yes that's true do you want to play it uh omelet du fromage versus what's the other one later hot garbage hot garbage omelet du fromage is a 10 and hot garbage is a five uh or sorry uh uh yes and so right now the score difference between omelet du fromage and your shumka show is 10 it's 10 to zero yes well if we mean that doesn't matter uh i have a trap that's that's all the matters um do you want to play the trap or not uh i want to know what hot garbage is a poetic show does it have anything else just poetic hot garbage isn't competing against you right now i know but i want to know oh i understand poetic so i get a bless for bonus that's fine but there's nothing else that doesn't have another category great well we'll just play the trap because got nothing else to do okay what does it do uh it's the sensitive year's one which is why it matters what kind of project i understand so tya traditional all other projects minus so just minus one just minus one so the difference is a nine to a zero uh right now uh maddie how do you want to respond do you want to play anything else or do you want to call that the end of this competition actually before we go on jenna can you tell us what that card is oh yeah i could do that um sensitive years is that people are complaining that people are fucking your show but i only say open let's do promotion my show because after rehearsing backstage he forgot his lines garnered it's the tech in the bag just like stage manager losing yes stage there's a stage manager missing cues fuck um we love stage managers uh maddie uh you're down one so it's nine to zero what do you want to do i want to end the competition there i send big city blues to my graveyard so that's nine points going from jenna to maddie making the current score twenty twenty twenty twenty nine seventeen seventeen which means that maddie has taken the lead for the first time in a long time so maddie your homage is closed now but you have one more project on the table that must compete because dildo and anis go away now sadly dildo and anis is gone so this is all gone so this is the second project for shumka so that means grant's operating everything goodbye grant's operating gone and company to the graveyard goodbye goodbye shumka uh many great memories will be had uh and enjoyed thinking back on the slick shaved nenchi is menchi it's true ukrainian dance show yeah so maddie it's still your turn um jenna can you remind me how much the two projects in your um five and three five and three um it does the five one have a bonus of any sort nope no okay um hot garbage and i can play a strategy card when i'm on the offensive yes you can you can play a plus or a minus sweet okay i'm going to play um nudes my they they saw the pictures from your run and they're like you got a wax too it's in the budget and uh that's for hot garbage and so now it's worth nine points just imagining like sexy and slick sexy against your project that's worth five so that is a 11 to a five is that correct yes so 11 to five jenna it's your response five serving 11 my cards are burned no cards unfortunately so that means that uh the competition is over and six points are going to go from jenna to maddie six 20 20 20 20 24 but i don't this doesn't the 94 stays in development because it still had points right uh no if it has been defeated it is defeated it's gone now it is also gone yes goodbye but it is just a hit against the citadel it's fine um for my strategy i play this card conservative government some people have chosen for alberta um companies and for actually the whole nation companies to everyone yes companies cannot receive new grants for two rounds brutal neither uh and kind of apropos given the current uh premiers of your respective problems hot garbage is now closed yes uh so that is the end of your turn maddie and we are over to jenna where it's your concept phase uh and no grants for two rounds two rounds worth millen do you want to throw that up into the top of our uh UI display yes do you want me to wait to draw these cards so you can also hit no no that's okay yeah i'm gonna multitask i'll who shuffle things uh goodness gracious well uh and so like there's no if i were to move to the application phase yes i will move to the application phase i cannot roll for grants cannot roll for grants though there might be an instant card that you have that allows you to do something are there there might those do exist but i don't know if you have them there isn't right now okay uh so the application phase ends yeah we go to production phase and there's nothing to do and yeah this needs another grant to open so it's just gonna hang out uh which means that we are going to move through those phases to the strategic planning phase yeah wait out the sad years wait out the sad years in which art is maligned by conservative forces indeed um i i will i'll just hold my cards okay great and maddie uh tides have changed uh it seems but uh let's see what what comes next for you it's not the first time i've been back into a corner so i'm going to discard one card and draw five we'll get it one day moment thank you there's a lot going on on the side the waxing all right oh sorry i was just thinking about the waxing and how i do know an actor who had an allergic reaction to a company provided wax oh no can you write that in yeah you would just put that in costuming right like costume materials presumably like if part of the costume is to be undressed i guess you probably have to have that in a contract from front that would be the respectful thing to do continuing on yeah yeah sorry everybody it's just looking i play my um theater past mariah which has a granting power of one to five and its keywords are multicultural canadian and has a project limit of three wow theater past mariah just announced their new season it's totally stacked yeah marjorie um and i also play fatal performance incorporated uh which uh has three grand power of one to three has a project limit of two and its keywords are experimental and visceral and fado is like a performance art company based in toronto um right now i'm going to give um fado a production and it's going to be streptease it's a musical on antibiotics or the performers have been yelling for 50 hours a weekend already sick yes it's a musical but where do you have the money to where do you have the money to do this matty or it's in development you do not there's no grants allowed because the government that you helped usher in oh my god i thought it could be in development even no unfortunately nothing happens without money uh in our system and sometimes you have to make the show before you can even get the money to make the show uh so so you can't roll for any of the companies that you've just put down but you do have some shows that already are fully funded so if you were to uh decide that you want to reopen them that is permissible yes i would like to reopen them uh jenna how much is the card that's the project inflating worth three three okay it's cold i would like to this is the clawback the conservative government in the club actually the claw as you spoke about the claw i'd like to play uh re-open hot garbage i need to re-roll evens to reopen i have rolled a six hot garbage is back the value of five is that correct yes and i would like to target the project that has a value of three residential school i believe it is that right jenna that's right so it's five serving three hot garbage coming at residential school this just sounds complicated naked hot garbage uh true from trono uh maddie how do you want to lead this competition right now i there's a trap option that you have right jenna nope her trap is okay thank you um i it's five against three right now i won't do anything okay deferred to jenna jenna how do you want to respond uh with a backstage back stab someone spread rumors about your rehearsal period being dysfunctional minus four minus four all that garbage down to one uh for hot garbage and still a three so it's one serving three now maddie the unreversal your work has become so process oriented that people can't tell if they've just seen a rehearsal or a show their confusion turns into a distraction minus how many points minus four points minus four points so we got minus one serving one only positive integers will be kept in terms of the transfer of community points but what uh what's the situation jenna we'll just we'll just leave it we're just gonna we're just gonna leave it okay so that means that one point is going to go from jenna to maddie making 25 25 to 10 as the voice said uh and that unfortunately is the end of residential school uh that means that this lunchbox is closed now too yes it is and bamf is gone as well bamf is gone as well over here and then government money just gonna make this week go over here for a nice hidey area and so maddie your project closes and uh i want to roll to reopen omelette du fromage okay i need to roll evens i roll the five so it does not reopen no it does not which is possibly a good jenna is that like a we'll see maybe i have another wacky card okay cool yeah that's so maddie uh what do you want to do now it's your strategic planning phase um strategic planning phase is that a car that you accidentally picked back up no no i i needed to send it send it to the graveyard right sorry what car did you just send to the graveyard it was it was uh sorry the card that i just played which was the unreversal ah yes okay just making sure um so um right now i play a strategy card let's see what will happen i want to play um new artistic director and i target jenna you jenna you must return the card in your hand to your deck shuffle and draw the same amount of cards that you have okay uh all of them one two three four five six six cards yes all of them yeah return to the deck not to the discard to the deck okay and then shuffle my deck is getting mighty thin yes yes as you do as you do that shuffle i'll explain that uh this is not one of those games where the first person who runs out of their deck like the game ends we play until we cannot play anymore okay well no i feel shuffled okay so you you had six cards before so take six out right now and maddie i believe that's the end of your turn correct yes that is the end of my turn okay so jenna uh concept phase discard draw i'm just going to check in about the washroom quickly uh how are you two feeling i think i want to use the washer okay shall we take a well then we're gonna come back okay keep us entertained let's do that all right so patrick it's just you and me over here uh i switched over camera so it's just you and i great yeah i guess what should we we don't have anything we don't have any commercial breaks but one thing that we should notice can you spotlight jenna's table view actually for us right now and we just want to you know let everyone know that if you've been following the culture capital uh development over the last number of years or months uh that this is an example of the play mat that we developed for our february tournament in edmonton uh it's quite stylish quite blue blue purple blue blue maybe colorblind still colorblind uh and uh it's very nice that uh we could include it in this match oh hey you know what mariah horn is watching oh hey mariah hey very good explaining patrick i love the drama she says can you please read more of the stuff that are in feed uh yeah oh hey everyone maddie these sunglasses are so from mariah uh a whole bunch of other people were watching uh mental plucker good to see you i'm sorry if i miss you my comments are very messy right now but yeah and thank you to april lung as well who's running our social media right now as we uh do this game that's great yeah but yes we do have play mats and hopefully we'll have them back because right now they are stuck in edmonton because when we did our full tournament over there um they got left behind and could not be retrieved due to covid so one of those days uh one of these days we'll come back and we'll get or we'll get a shift i have no one who knows uh what else can we tell people about where this is going well the next stop is possibly the prairies if you're in the prairies and you're watching this uh reach out because we want to talk to you about how value is determined and produced and shifted within the winnipeg regina and saskatoon triangle and we're also looking to head to whitehorse in 2021 when we can and if you're in the maritimes we also have our eyes set on you for uh late next year into 2022 so please get in touch we're crunching numbers now if you're a number cruncher and you like crunching numbers uh then please help us because it's a lot of data that we go through to uh determine the grant probability for all of the companies uh and it's also a very insightful experience to find out who has what and how they got it and how it's changed over the years um yeah some people have said to us that this game is um performing a certain historic way in which the arts used to function now so we will see how that goes hey maddie um our players are back and back to the game uh thank you so much for the commercial break and right now i just want to remind you that the conservative government is still active for one more round and jenna it is your turn in your concept phase and also for our players please unmute thank you thank you uh uh uh okay um this is fun uh uh okay my brain hurts uh i'm going to discard a card which leaves me with one two three four five but i think i think i can play an orange question mark anytime right you can do you have to draw cards jenna yes that's why i want to play this card first so you've discarded everything happens in a linear order in this game so you've discarded cards and if you want to play an orange card right now sure let's see do i forfeit my drawing is that what happens uh no no not necessarily typically one would discard then pick up and then play that card but you want to play it's like it's an instant card then let's see what happens yeah it's an instant card it's the edwinton fringe oh which is just that i can play a project without a company and without grants okay great so yes you can play that now okay so i'm going to play that and does that immediately allow me to play the project so i would like you to play that in your company line somewhere just or just like on the table so that we can see it for reference i think did you just discard it or oh sorry sorry yes the edwinton fringe yes i can just be here so that we can see where it is or play it as a grant maybe uh and yes you can play a project onto the table right now so but that is not going to compete until production phase totally it makes sense so this is uh uh wax it but it's the nature of the edwinton fringe card you just play the project without uh company and without grants so it's open and then the project must go to the graveyard at the end of the turn yeah so it's i've just played the project it's open i have three cards so i'm going to draw seven or not seven draw four okay that makes sense yes okay here you go great uh lovely i made a mistake in my deck building which is very a fun thing to discover right now uh which is just that i was doing like direct sub outs company for company so like a grant power of one got subbed out for a grant power of one okay but i've duplicated a company in my hand by accident interesting yes uh technically we would say that there are no duplicate companies allowed and so i think we're going to need to stand by that rule yeah that's an error you go to your graveyard yeah so should i just discard it right away so i would say let's jettison it and pretend it like we accidentally left the joker in the deck and pretend like it never happened in which case you were picking up to seven cards and go from there great so should i pick one more just leave it at this i would say you're picking one more because we're going to pretend like it was a joker that was left never happened it's come on my mistake uh whoopsies okay great so uh now we would move into the application phase we cannot roll for grants so nothing happens and that means we move into the production phase that's true and wexit is open uh you know the fringe artists don't necessarily feel the blow of the lack of federal funding or government funding so it's open at full strength of i believe one of one of one so who on the other side of the table is wexit targeting uh so what are your points what are the points for those puppies hot garbage is worth five points uh it's closed its base point is one but because i have hot topic poetic on it's worth five omelet du fromage is worth eight points so we're gonna go for hot garbage okay because it's been targeted maddie you can try to reopen your hot garbage okay i'm gonna try and reopen it i need to roll evens i roll the three so it stays closed stays closed so one to five that is correct uh so i'm gonna play uh quiet revolution you've success i've successfully uh slipped woke ideas into non-woke content uh and the conservatives in the crowd have not noticed fitting for the current government so that takes wexit to a seven against my five great i'd like to respond to that with an all indigenous class cast the future is indigenous you get it hot garbage yes how much is hot garbage now like eight uh it's worth uh it's worth five base plus eight so it's worth 13 so our current score is 13 to seven seven uh i will uh also wait keep that on the table maddie just so we can remember it thank you 13 to seven well i mean i will add some sweet sweet youth engagement um so my project also supports the next generation of young artists which adds four which makes it a respectable 11 11 11 to 13 13 to 11 maddie how do you want to respond i don't want to respond yet you don't want to respond which means that you're still going to take this competition two points from jenna 20 27 maddie and unfortunately all goes away all goes away exactly um now just as a sidebar here i'm pretty sure we made that quiet revolution jenna after i saw the vertigo theater show that you made last year oh that's amazing just as it just as a shout out to you and the work that you were doing in that context i'm pretty sure i came home and i was like this we have to make this card oh that's amazing because that is yeah sherlock Holmes is not known for being woke isn't there's that moment of like by the way you're all in the room and this speech about like chinese heritage is coming straight at you funders and uh it was great thanks so uh what was the show called again sherlock Holmes in the ravens curse it uh was supposed to also go up at shah this year but it but craig's production not my production oh really um well i saw yours it was great so i uh where we what just happened now is that jenna you were on the offense is that correct that's what's something you've lost your show while on offense but it's still your turn strategic planning is up for you uh yeah yeah great i'll set it i'll set a trap and maddie it's back to you awesome um is the conservative government still on yes uh yes yes this is for the last one this is the last one and then jenna gets to go exactly if if i if i survive because i am feeling it's true you are in a very precarious situation awfully pessimistic right now i dropped five cards the government is on i can't apply for grants however um i play fu jen theater shout out to fu jen um one two three granting points fu jen theater is uh an asian canadian theater company based on drone and um the project limit is two and their keywords are multicultural and diaspora it's pretty good granting power it's like a former professional grant writer is an artistic director goes a long way yeah since i can't apply for grants i'm going to try and reopen my two shows okay um right now i'm going to try and reopen hot garbage which is i need to roll even it's actually for both of them to reopen so this is hot garbage and all i have to do for a match again is free for that one that does not reopen but we are now again in a competition with the formerly naked all indigenous cast performing hot garbage uh it is five against zero at this point maddie how do you want to begin this competition for jenna's points directly people love hot garbage i'm just going to attack people do love hot garbage this i'm just going to let's see i can't target projects because there's no project of jenna's nbs that's true but you can target your own project if you want to just attack directly okay so that's five to zero jenna how are you going to respond uh it's the trap it's the trap what's the trap uh the trap is in two canadian play you know what that means it's just one less than you had expected you've got a four maddie how do you want to respond to that i don't i will i shall not respond you shall not respond okay you'll just take the fact that you've made a new canadian play and call the hot garbage there's no there's no subtext at all in any of this yeah goodness and all indigenous naked hot garbage new canadian play wow so that's four points yeah four points uh 20 20 34 31 31 for maddie four for jenna if you're watching the live stream you can rewind to the point in which it was seemed like the complete opposite uh maddie i mean it had also seemed like this before too it's true so it could go it could totally flip back we're in for another two and a half hours uh maddie how do you want to perform your strategic planning and i'm gonna put away the conservative government card and send it to the graveyard thank you and i can play another strategy card if i wanted to yes you can as long as it's great okay uh i shall end my turn okay jenna i'm gonna discard two and draw five great uh uh okay so um uh the citadel gets a grant because they're the citadel and punctuate is going to need to roll one or two they rolled a two hey i get a grant oh the conservative reign is over for one hot minute welcome rachel notley great great great um what am i doing uh okay so i'm gonna play uh okay i'm gonna get some projects in development here uh so uh we're gonna get hopo uh hanging out with the citadel this sounds loosely reminiscent of catalyst show but it's a musical rendition of edgar allen po's uh biography but with a crime drama twist the undercover cop is actually a chinese grandmother hopo hopo who knows uh so that is in development at the citadel uh and then uh i'm going to look at this mass reading in development for punctuate uh a political performance in which the audience commits to reading the koran on mass it is in development it is where three points in development but also has a political boost of three points so it is worth six points in development wow wow so wait sorry uh mass reading is six and the other one is four in development great to know okay any strategic planning you want to do jenna oh good question what a great question i love these companies are asked this all the time uh i was supposed to plan for things i love strategic planning so much um i talked to my board and they told me to set a trap great so maddie um and that was great i would love to see that agi i was like so why don't you just set a trap yeah for audiences build a hole and they'll fall in and then do your show when they're in there yeah it's definitely a build a hole kind of trap that's what he told me to build for sure and draw three cards sorry i need to read all read through these now okay um i'm going to partner i'm going to partner to partner fu jen with summerworks changes their granting power to four and i'm going to hold for grants now that the conservative government um i'm going to roll for theater pass barai which has a granting power of one five i got a four going to roll for fu jen theater which uh partner with summerworks has a good grant to power one to four i got a two incorporated which has a granting power of one to three and i got a four so faddle doesn't win anything this time and that's okay i'm going to play the umpire trilogy this show is rated r for injectable substances dark comedy hot dogs locker dog nightmare sexual content guns and exploding toxic ideas of what it needs to be a man a city and a bird so um it is in development with theater pass barai uh it is feminist and poetic the hot topic right now is poetic so it is worth nine points in development um and i'm also going to play this music is so tense and teeny digital dating meets drinking game in this one-on-one performance about love limits and personal boundaries and that's going to be fu jen theater show and it's in development and it's worth two points what's the topic whimsical and tech cool um so you've got all of these shows that are in development you've got two new shows that are in development and you've got two shows that are closed is that right maddie yes okay i'm going to however try and reopen hot garbage oh no no let's do omelet du fromage i got evens it's a four so omelet du fromage is open and i'm going to try and open hot garbage as well and i got a two so hot garbage is open how much are your shows worth i am so uh i feel in peting dread um uh po po is worth four and mass reading is worth six fromage is worth ten so i'm going to attack the one that's worth four okay so that's omelet du fromage against po po and uh we've got a six point difference maddie how do you want to begin that competition how many cards do you have jenna four so loud so i'm just gonna um my ears are kind of like a little bit since um sorry it's worth four right now there's a four and you have a uh a ten okay i'm not going to boost jenna how are you gonna respond um uh i mean why not the the the citadel has been hugging the sky up with an international tour oh well po po's going on international tour this sounds actually very accurate to something like in terms of uh yeah i don't know some ed ground po tour weird a tour for years and years and years yeah so that means that it's 14 for po po and 10 for omelet du fromage is that right or did you start with hot garbage maddie omelet du fromage right so 10 to 14 how do you want to respond i want to respond with keep digging you publish a letter explaining why your version of cultural appropriation is not like other people's and your plus 10 i respond with a minus 10 so that means that we're back to a 10 to a four um it would seem that the ed ground po sprinkled with the chinese grandmother narrative didn't actually land particularly well probably with the chinese community yeah the chinese community published a counter open letter and didn't like it very much well i mean as as this uh noise continues to happen and the red continues to flash i can at the very least tell you that a random blogger said the show is quite memorable so that means that you've got uh six yeah to maddie's 10 yeah that is a four point difference jenna which would be the end of uh you as we know it is there anything else that you wanted to end of me or if it's just a really clear you have a trap you have a trap on your table i just uh letting you know oh can i just play the trap at any time the trap can be played during your defensive turn where you can play a trap and respond as well when you're on defense oh i can play a trap and a and a card that is true the funny there's not actually been this moment yet in this game so this is oh well great well we can activate the trap that's fine and activate the trap yeah we can also activate the physical it seemed just ingenious to not tell you that this was the case thank you um i mean it's just a drama queen that you have a actor somehow in ontario stuck on the qe2 we're at so they're not gonna make the show and that's minus four on your project so that means that maddie you've got six and jenna you've got four is that correct uh so we do our math again i have i have six you have six what oh but i responded with minus 10 i put plus 10 and minus 10 plus and minus 10 those cancel out and then uh jenna you played i added two so i was at you added two so you had six sorry that's correct yes there was a point differential of four exactly so then we have taken off the four so now we're tied six and six we're tied six and six thank you thank you very much so six and six maddie it is your turn to respond to jenna i won't respond you won't respond okay which means that i'm not the format actually wait i can't activate that you know you cannot but when two shows end with the same value as we know they both cancel each other out which means that i'm at the formage after a very lengthy uh life it's going to be a very international tour an international tour and citadel's got one more hit against it grants go back to the government and maddie it's still your turn so hot garbage um is alive well in tron is worth five points and i would like to do i have to attack the show that's that's in development right now yes you do and that show is what jenna it's mass reading and it's worth three points in development the mass reading of the Quran but is it not boosted by the political yeah it's worth six okay so it's five to six is the current score i guess there's nothing much i can do about that um and i'm not only defensive so i'll have to take the hit you're gonna take the hit which means at one point is gonna go back to jenna rogers 30 uh that i believe is the end of soul pepper am i correct maddie goodbye soul pepper wow all the grants go the operating funding card goes and the hot garbage goes oh sorry and why not theater actually has a point against it sorry let me well uh well survived nice work jenna nearly impossibly survived and maddie it's still your turn so you may play your strategic planning all right um what can i do that's it for me i just want to see what my trap is all right that's it jenna i hope your bladders are holding up okay well we we didn't go on break so yeah that's i'm like are you dying over there you doing okay i'm good okay i'm gonna take off my sheets oh revealing her true glare to stare her down at the moment so uh i i am what am i gonna do i am going to draw six i discarded one draw six okay four five six seven okay great what a fun time am i having a fun time um goodness gracious uh well i have workshop west playwright theaters so this is fun uh they have a grand power of four okay project limit of two they're plus two for canadian that's fun uh and i think uh oh and i also have a this a joke to myself doesn't get old about who shuffled these but i also have a company that is making treaty seven that's very fun very good granting power of four uh indigenous and political all right thanks for them to show up and your companies it's really good to have these companies right now it's what i want for sure berda has so many like indigenous um indigenous companies in their deck yes there is one of four ecosystem right yeah i also did have like an indigenous leaning deck yes you did um uh great this is great um okay so i'm gonna i'm gonna take a grant for the citadel because why not uh we are gonna do yeah that's fun uh okay we'll roll for a grant for workshop west now which is means one to four it got to four and we are going to uh take your money first take my money first and we're gonna do a project in development called a cold a cold reed which is uh canadian and uh accessible piece a series of impromptu monologues by performers of all abilities and backgrounds trying to convince you that it's colder where they come from than where you come from yeah uh so that's in development uh and then i'm gonna roll for making treaty seven which is also grant power four i got a one there uh so we get some money uh and this is uh we're gonna post canada uh an indigenous futurist tale about what happens when all settlers get sent back to where they came from oh yes that uh is in development and uh the citadel has a grant you have some cool guys on the table right now i do how how hard do i want to go out fighting these are the questions i asked myself and i guess i can roll for punctuate i yes i will roll for punctuate okay which has a grant power of two one or two the two that's there that puts mass reading into open an open state um how much is mass reading uh it is uh worth nine nine okay thank you uh and that's the little money or do you want to send it back i kind of want to keep the money uh do you have a project for it i'm just trying to decide what to do uh no we'll send the money back okay okay so that means that mass reading is open and must compete which of maddy's productions are you competing with uh maddy can you remind us what you're too uh quarantine quarantine quarantine quarantine right now in development is worth two points and the umpire trilogy is worth nine points okay so quarantine at a two umpire at a nine mass reading also at a nine jenna which are you gonna pick quarantine quarantine all right so that's a seven point difference how do you want to lead that competition jenna i'm gonna let it lie i'm gonna let it lie maddy how do you want to respond i'm going to respond with my trap okay you pre-recorded your land acknowledgement and people thought it felt empty and impersonal you lose four points your nine goes back down to the five nine to five so that means the current difference is three jenna how do you want to respond i don't you don't which means that uh three points are going back to jenna from maddy making 20 27 27 to eight quarantine is gone and the money goes back to the government and that is a mark against their company strangely misaligned show really it's true if only they if only they had popo um jenna your show is in a closed position now and it's your strategic planning uh congratulations on clawing or whatever verb you're using uh for how you're sharing the community you're sharing exactly redistributing balancing uh i know you want a bathroom break too nope i'm totally good no i'm good yeah we're good good uh so how how do you want to go next uh i i'm good okay maddy i'm going to draw four cards five six seven here we go times have changed on your uh field over there maddy i'm going to play toronto dance theater uh which has a granting power of one to six i'm going to give it because it has a power i enter the application phase i give toronto dance theater a grant and now i want to roll for theater password i need a one to five i get a four so it gets another grant towards the umfire trilogy do you want to roll for anyone else i'm just trying to think of what might be the smart thing to do right now roll for anyone else i'm just going to give toronto dance theater this card it i'm going to play the project strep ease a musical on antibiotics where the performers have been yelling for 50 hours a week and are already sick so it's a dance musical uh the key word is musical in development it's one two points okay play that now since i can't open any of my projects i'm going to go to strategic learning okay i set a trap i also play the card another big anniversary from my graveyard take a project of your choice and put it back in your hand i'm just going to look through the return of hot garbage what will it be that she what will it be it's a project or is it a project project yeah those classic anniversary seasons well maddie's flipping through a genuine question what happens when my draw pile is empty we keep playing but like where do i draw from you can't draw there's nothing more to draw yeah you have to play with what's on the table and if it becomes apparent what has happened in the past as someone says that they forfeit the met or like that that they're done um but in most cases you'll know you'll be able to continue on whatever companies are on the board at that time yeah yeah yeah so i'll take this moment to shout out to erin jen who's been incessantly posting yukio references uh which are absolutely correct and thank you for doing that yes uh i could check the uh kerry mitchell and the wesbury theater for hooking me up with this sweet sweet mat indeed this is uh just for anyone who's turning in again this is one of the limited edition classic culture capital mats currently not actually available for sale but let us know if you want one um maddie how's your research going on over there pretty good i'm just looking for the card that i'm looking for oh there it is what's more worth it only you will know only you will know there's we're not going to answer in the private chat at all so how many hours can you spend at your desk during covet all right well if we're doing games like these like who knows i found the project that i want i've put it in my hand okay and i end my turn thank you uh i am just gonna draw what i think are my last four cards so in fact for you maddie this is the other big anniversary uh do i um great uh i okay so um i have uh the ad hoc collective ah wondering when they might show up yeah the ad hoc collective is um a company where you roll wants to determine their grand power and then again to determine their project limits so that's fine so let's do that let's do that and definitely like something you really want at the end of the game for sure um but their grand power is five wow not bad uh and i'm writing it down for myself and their project limit is three that's a pretty good uh pretty strong company pretty strong companies so oh what a what a fun time we find ourselves in uh okay so i'm i'm just in this place where i have i can roll for grants yes you can uh well the citadel gets one which i may or may not be but we'll just take it for i'm a little brain why not um uh i'm gonna roll for workshop west which needs uh up to four one to four we'll roll we got a five so nothing we'll roll for making tree seven which also needs a one to four you got a four so that gets a grant and this opens uh and for ad hoc collective they need between a one and a five right so that's right right i'm just kind of seeing if there's anything in my hand i want to play with right now and might he's got two projects on the deck so i think i'm not gonna roll for a grant for ad hoc right now but i am gonna i would like to roll to see if i can reopen mass reading okay so mass reading needs odds it's a five so it does so and before we move on we just need to know whether or not you are going to return that citadel funding or put something else we're gonna return it okay just play with these two okay great so we've got two shows we've got mass reading and post canada indigenous oh that's not true it doesn't open i was a liar because it needs three grants to open so it's still in development okay can you switch it around to be stop sign up thank you very good so that means we've just got mass reading open that's right the value of nine nine targeting which of maddie's production uh we have i'm so scared of this umpire trilogy so it's also worth nine i know so i think we're just gonna i'm gonna target the toronto dance theater that's the streptease streptease indeed which is worth two in development right yes so it's a nine to a two we'll let that stand let it stand all right so it's been deferred to you maddie how do you want to respond i would like to respond with my trap okay your show wasn't all white cast it's not wrong but you lose six points which puts it down to three against two and maddie are you just playing that trap or anything else since you are on defense yes i'm going to respond to three against two right yep it's three to two i'm going to play free money i found five dollars on the ground i put it towards the project last one point and we're tied no way which means that free money is making this a uh tie game right now jenna how do you want to respond also found five bucks on the ground no way scrambling artists as though that's using five dollar bills to determine who's better than it's too real i shall keep it you're gonna take it i'm yeah you're gonna lose one community to jenna then uh 26 to seven is the current score mass reading 26 uh streptease 26 to nine yeah forever 26 to nine so streptease is gone uh that's one point against trial dance leader money left to government and i left my what does your draw pile look like i mean you still got a good amount left okay so it's the end of jenna's turn now yeah we're closed and i enter into a strategic planning uh for which i'm not going to do anything okay okay maddie what is your strategy um i'm going to draw four cards losing count of how many cards i'm drawing at one time i'm going to play the company how many companies can we have you can have a max of five companies which means that you can play no more companies if you want to play a company you must burn one of the companies that you currently have in play all right okay thank you oh i must roll imagine if all this music were just live fully wow would that give it a plus or give me something to watch Milton i mean the dancing is entertaining don't get me wrong thank you um i'm gonna roll for toronto dance theater okay oh i don't need to because it has a one to six i'm just gonna put a grand theater i'm going to roll for cn power sorry uh why not theater oh my gosh i'm getting to the end of my like sharp thinking uh and why not theater has the grand power of one to five and i roll a six so unfortunately we don't have a grand and right now i'm going to roll for theater pasparai red power one to five about a five the umpire trilogy is open let's see i'm gonna put down uh since toronto dance theater has a brand i'm going to put down for in development returning craps last week i think it's gonna be more relevant now um so in development it's worth four and it's plus four for the hot topic so right now it's worth eight points umpire trilogy is worth 14 points we are heading into your production phase is that correct maddie that is correct okay so on jenna's side is umpire trilogy in competition with you have a 14 jenna which what are your projects right now uh mass reading is closed so it has the possibility of reopening and closed it is worth a seven okay uh cold read in development is worth six and post canada in development is also worth 14 to six six or seven possibly a nine if it's reopened i believe it's right how many cards do you have in your hand jenna five five of them it's becoming a very sort of like distressing question of life okay i'd like to attack one of the cards that have that's worth six points which one would you like to compete with is there a company that already has a boo boo against them now boo boo that's the tabularies failing all of my processing power is going towards the end game um the end game is close i can feel it a 14 point hey the artist's life is about stamina hang in there what's the one worth six points again you can either target workshop west playwrights theater and their cold read where it's a competition about how cold you are but we're making 3d7 and they're post canada future a scale where settlers go back to where they came oh man let's get rid of cold read because i think the other show is really awesome okay i hope it exists um so umpire trilogy worth 14 points against six 14 to six maddie you get to lead this competition do you want to add any value to your production umpire trilogy i won't you won't jenna how will you respond i mean i would leave you with one point still it would uh uh the weird thing about cold read is an all indigent fast oh no way yeah so that's eight which means that that's a 14 to 14 base off here umpire trilogy anything else that makes it special or possibly as to why a cold read isn't particularly as special as people think it is i'm going to let the hit happen you're both going to lose your projects right now yes okay it's done which means that grants go back to the government cold read and umpire trilogy are gone and uh maddie it is your strategic planning now no points were exchanged the game goes on to play my strategy card can't stop won't stop so i play an additional turn including all four turn phases from concept phase to strategic planning nice um i believe that's your epic card is that correct yeah ever bang oh this is the epic card okay that's a good card so maddie uh it's your turn again how do you want to what do you want to do i i'm just gonna draw my last card okay i'm going to oh sorry i don't need to uh throttle dance theater just get some another grant and that's okay uh let's see you gotta get some money first before playing any thing on anyone else so i'm going to roll for a why not theater uh and the grand final grand powers one to five you get a grant okay and i'm going to put down like a project sea and power it's like specific and feminist right now it is worth uh four points in development and maddie can you read out the uh description from cn power please thank you glass floor more like glass ceiling thank you this is cn power well written if these aren't open so i'll just have to let it be okay so that is the end of your epics can't stop won't stop second turn in a row uh jenna it's back to you goodness gracious what is this even uh well i can't draw anything so i think we move straight into the application phase here what um what am i going to do i'm going to roll for a grant for workshop west one to four uh that's got a one that's a grant congratulations thank you and i will also roll for a grant for making treaty seven which is one four oh that's a three which means that post canada is open is open uh and uh i don't think i'm gonna roll for citadel or ad hoc but i will uh chuck down a development of aya for workshop west aya uh the speculative tale of the lions that guard edmonton's harbingate taking leave to prom dale and trusting a group of young heroes as the city's new spiritual protection of like a superhero mashup there that's worth two points in development okay um and then i would like to re-roll to re-roll to reopen mass open mass reading mass reading okay so what's it gonna be what does it need evens or odds odds okay three whoa turn around okay what do i have i i know that there is something we've got craps foreign development and what is craps what is craps um it is eight in development um so mass reading is current is worth nine open and post canada is worth ten is there a boost because of three seven or yeah there there is but that's ten so it's eight plus two eight great six plus three ten and nine ten and nine uh what are you gonna start with uh we're gonna start with uh mass reading versus cn power that is a nine against four four is that right matty uh cn power yes it's worth four okay so nine to four five point difference jenna do you want to add anything to your thing nope okay so nine to four matty how are you going to respond five points are on the line here the card all or your interdisciplinary practice makes you look like you're either the next hot shot we can do it all or a completely indecisive artist roll to determine impact on the target project so if i roll events i get plus six if i roll odds i lose six points for cn power okay um so let's roll the dice let's roll the dice so your current score for cn power is four is that right so you're either gonna end up with a ten or a negative two no too bad no congratulations jenna i guess you could have targeted on me too it so wait before we take away before we take away jenna has a chance to respond i won't respond jenna's not gonna respond okay so that means the difference right now is nine um nine points are going to go from jenna or sorry from matty to jenna jenna is up by one point at the very end of this day um well actually it's tomorrow for me now and matty uh so jenna you close your show uh close mass reading and you must compete now with post canada against what else is on matty's table which is crax lost vape so this is i'm starting with a ten against her eight and i will not that's i'm gonna just start with that okay what are you gonna do matty i'm going to respond with unicorn what is unicorn someone who can do it all stage management lighting design projection sound and you can write your own contract and what does that do um it adds plus two to crax last vape so it's worth ten ten it's even but to ten so that means jenna you get a chance to respond these shows are going to cancel each other out if there is nothing to be done uh there is nothing to be done nothing to be done uh which means that both post canada and crax lost vape go to the graveyard all these grants goodbye and that is a hit against your companies um please make sure that you mark that and it's a very tight match jenna this is the end of your turn here so unless i'm strategic planning oh yeah this is what i mean it's the last phase of your turn what do you know i'm not a matty matty over the years over to you matty i can't respond it's over say what i don't have any more i don't have any more projects in my hand so jenna you win if there's nothing else that you can do and you don't have strategies that you want to play so i mean we've said what's that is said so uh that is well it let's if she if she's got something to play she can play it um they won't really help me so no there's nothing i can play there was a roommate i heard a roommate yeah um wow okay well let's just take a pause here and say congratulations on both of you on making uh this to be quite a incredibly back and
