The ship crashes on a strange planet in ‘Quids Game’
Last time on Futurama, Bender decided to make some NFTs in hopes of getting rich. Things didn’t go the way he hoped they would, and he chose to head back home. Here he met a number of his family members and had a good time, at least for a while. Meanwhile the crew broke into a museum to steal Benders likeness back. As this episode came to a close, Bender felt like he had learned a good lesson. Now the ship crashes on a weird looking planet in ‘Quids Game’. I was able to watch a screener of this episode and here is my thoughts on it.

We learn it is Fry’s birthday at the start of this episode. He is glad that it was an uneventful day, but his mood changes once everyone pops out yelling surprise. Just when it seems like things couldn’t get weirder, the ship crashes on a mysterious looking planet. Soon we see Fry’s old boyhood home appear, and naturally everyone heads inside. Inside the crew are greeted by three aliens who wish for them to play a number of games. They agree but things take a bad turn when each game ends up being to the death. While this is going on we see flashbacks of Fry’s 8th birthday, and him somehow winning a bunch of party games. As this episode comes to a close, we find out why Fry won each game at his bday party as a kid.
