So I picked up this expansion only to find that the rulebooks, reference sheets, and player screens were all in English, but all of the tiles were in German. Even though the iconography on the tiles gives a pretty good idea of their effects, I still spent a couple hours today using Google translate to make a reference sheet for myself. I clicked on your vid hoping for a closeup look at the tiles. Let's just say that Google translate wasn't dead on, but close enough. Thanks.

Can't go back, but I just wanted to let you know I loved the Jon and Dean videos when you were a team. Watching your rapport put me in a good mood. I remember trying to find Ginkgopolis many years ago and even considering paying over a hundred bucks for it before the reprint, but ultimately gave up. After the reprint I had lost motivation for it (gotta remember that!) and then a different video reminded me of this game so I'm now looking at reviews again and started here. Thanks!

I bought the Harry Potter version thinking it would be the best of both worlds, however I've since learned that the quality of the dice in the original game is much better. Is that true?

Great explanation of the various games. I’m not a die hard solo board gamer but there are times when others aren’t available or there’s too many other complicating factors. Legacy of Yu looks so appealing as a solo board game. I may need to take the plunge. Hadrian’s Wall has an appeal as 1 - 6 players, but may be complex especially trying to teach it to 6 players. Thanks for your review!
@MeepleTown
@MeepleTown Жыл бұрын
Thank you! Yeah, I’m not sure I would be interested in Hadrians Wall at 6. Not that it adds a lot of time (it doesn’t)…I would just rather have a more interactive experience with a 6 player game. That’s just one guy’s opinion, though. 😃

I really appreciate the fact that you've mentioned how much Dean gave this game but it could have been even more beneficial if you were also mentioned in a word or 2 why. Recommending to go listen to the podcast is a good idea but not everyone has time. Nevertheless, this recommendation could have been more beneficial as well if you were mentioned the episode number.

#1- Lorcana: meh, disney cash cow fest. Collect but don't play then sell them. #2-Star Wars Unlimited: come back in 2 years and every set will be on super sale in the bargain bin #3-Last Light: A game that promises an experience that isn't possible in only an hour. Too luck dependent and ends before you can truly get a sense of exploration or development #4-Unmatched: Do we really need more of this game? There are dozens of expansions already with thousands of character combos. Who is asking for more? #5-Arnak Expansions: The true GOAT in the video. Expands a brilliant game with even more interesting asymmetric characters. This one is the one to get.

I’m good with this being the last Marvel set for Unmatched. The cooperative aspect (of Tales to Amaze) appeals to me. Also, I love having a lot of options without feeling like I need everything.

Totally agree on the Sam Phillips artwork, he's my favourite artist in board games right now. It's refreshing to see his more comic style artwork when most games focus on a painted style. Hadrian's Wall and Raiders of Scythia are both in my top ten so I can't wait to try Legacy of Yu. Unfortunately Australia is about 12mths behind the rest of the world for most board game releases!

Just keep reminding yourself how freaking amazing you are feeling, what nice outfits you can rock now and in general that you have probably extended your life expectancy. It takes great discipline.
