(15:14) Final Pairing, and Outtake (18:20) The Game "In Barzone, players take on the role of bartenders competing to complete cocktail orders using ingredients, co-workers and shift cards. Each turn, you’ll need to complete a cocktail order by using your ingredients wisely, activating your co-workers special skills, and playing shift cards from your hand. The game ends once a player reaches 26 Mastery Points or after the eighth round. Strategy, timing, and creativity will decide who becomes the ultimate bartender behind the bar.” - Peter Gozon Coming to Gamefound April 7, 2026 https://gamefound.com/en/projects/barzoneccg/barzone Board Game Geek: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/456659/barzone The Whiskey "Black Bush Irish whiskey combines an exceptionally high amount of malt married with a sweet, small-batch grain whiskey, and then matured in former Oloroso sherry and bourbon casks. This unique recipe means Black Bush has rich, fruity notes and a deep intense character, balanced by an incredibly unique smoothness. It’s best enjoyed neat, over ice, or in classic cocktails. The most seasoned of Irish whiskey drinkers know that you can’t beat Black Bush." - Bushmills https://www.bushmills.eu/whiskeys/black-bush/ Follow Us TT on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tabletoptastings/ Les on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/les.tabletoptastings/ Steve on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/slicedicedrams/ Email Us les.tabletoptastings@gmail.com And a special thank you to Dane Von Hardenberg for scoring the music to our outro.
