great video =) been looking at wingspan and games like it and want to try it out "irl" but I have Earth and that is a great game but havent tryed it out with more players. Didnt think of earth as a engine builder until now xD wow have a great day

Boop

So its basically tic-tac-toe with more mechanics and a bigger board

I've been playing Wingspan a lot over at BGA, and I could not disagree more, TBH.

It great to see these collaberative/co-operative games that are easy to teach. A great way to introduce people to the fun of boardgaming.

Wet voice Dry content 10 / much larger number

Dude, on crack .

With how simple it is it feels like some amcient board game thats been rebranded

Amazing video!!! Arborea and Oak are amazing games

Finally, merge game irl

You don't review a theme based on if you like it but based on how well it's incorporated. The theme in Root is 10/10, it oozes out of every crevice of the game. If it's too cute for you that's ok but don't say it's poorly themed.

Yo, theme is a 9. This art style started a genre. This video is a year old and I’m still tilted 😂

If I don't realistically see myself playing the game in the future, I gotta get rid of it to make room for something that I do see myself playing.

Games aside, what an amazing home, in an amazing place. Id try to make that my permanent home. :) though i dont speak Japanese... i would learn. 😊

Here's the crossover in the hobby, some people seem to collect games just to collect games, not to play them, it's almost two different hobbies lol

The biggest factor to the bad purchase thing is most likely Kickstarter purchases more than reviewers. It really stinks having to make a decision on a game that isn’t even complete yet a year or more before you even buy it.

For myself it is usually a game that has a similar feel to another game I own but I would always choose the latter. Examples would be I got rid of Ankh because I would always choose Blood Rage or Godfather. Got rid of a couple of Zombicides because Marvel Zombies is just so much better. Also got rid of Mansions of Madness because Death May Die is just a much better overall game. Another factor is complicated games with bad rule books. Star Trek Frontiers fits that category.

I try to only buy games I plan to keep... Those games which have fallen flat... it's usually do to being too random (and can't be fixed with a house rule), or too complex and/or lasts too long to actually get to the table.

You should work on your social stats, I saw them at the end and I think you need to spend less time with your confidants

I would encourage you to watch a couple of Artis Opus videos on dry brushing. It can work fine for any size model (though that particular brush was rather too large for the subject--you can get smaller ones cheap in a makeup set), but what you appeared to be doing in that part of this video was more like stippling.

We bought Eldritch Horror around 10 years ago & played once with some friends who visited, then never again.... until last week we pulled it out & played with my brother. It's one of those that's just too tedious to learn and teach, we have no one who would play it with us again, it's too many pieces, and just not worth it at this point in our lives, having no real game group. Time to ditch it.

This has been the primary game of my group recently. Totally brilliant. To answer both your complaints simply (which I have no doubt you already get): this is a Euro. If you want something that prioritizes theme (which this game does overall quite well), Euros aren't for you. The mechanics of removing level 1 tiles and removing boats after the first age are crucial mechanics that create very interesting strategic choices. While both are admittedly odd if you are thinking logical about theme, they make perfect sense in terms of game play. Really good review.

i only play computer games, not physical.

Looks pretty fun

Great breakdown!

There are unlimited ways to paint minis and all of them are better than leaving them unpainted. If you have very less time: prime them white, wash them black and then wash them again with a color of your choice. Takes less then 5 minutes and your plastic minis look as if they were carved from a piece of stone.
