AFAIK, you can out your dice on Raider's Outpost even if other player's dice are there. You just need to put a bigger sequence. If he had 234 than you can replace with 345 or 456. Here is a quote: "If the Raiders’ Outpost is occupied, you may dock a higher-value sequence here and move the original ships to the Maintenance Bay."

This is my favorite game! I love it!

We are just finishing Oathsworn. We are half way through chapter 20. We play one evening a week. The story for each chapter + the encounter is too long to do both in one night. This has greatly lengthened the time to get where we are. In general, the quality is fairly good. The biggest thing to remember is that if you have a miss on a check or combat, you get all empowerment tokens used back + an extra one of your choice in compensation.

You most likely know by now, but yoi can trade three cowrie shells for clay anytime. It is right on the board. ;) Love this game!

att 44:00 you took 2 cubes of your choosing. im not sure about the rules jet, but as you took a yellow. dosent the tucked card let to take one more of any color?? or does that mean something els.?

got my tracking. cant wait to try it out.

you know i sleep in normal hours when i have to watch you later :)

So muuuch fun!!!!! Pssst...I know one of those dining room tables :P

how many of those BGG top 100 list games would be in your top 100?

An excellent playthrough, thank you for sharing!

Quality family time

Location stream would be cool.

You did the Guard dog wrong in round 1. You look at Range 0. There was no one there. Then you look at Range 1, if there is someone there, you resolve that. You only look to earliest in turn order if there are two people in range 1. There was not. Guard dog should have moved and attacked Nobleman.

On Dash you only take damage if enemies in the zone you dash out of NOT into.

Summer stream best wave!

Pumpkin happens.

hello! Thx for a stream of this awesome game! Just wait for my copy and hope I will get it soon. Can you tell me please what kind of filter you use for a green screen cam? With that white corners on cards?) Thanks a lot!

Awesome video😊

Thank you for the video, this has really helped clarify how to play this game. Looks really fun. 😊

Just at the beginning of this video but i wanted to say so far the quality and attention to detail in this video is some of the best I've seen in all these board game playthroughs I've been watching lately, so great job on that!

hi there - Thank you so much for the coverage and glad you guys found the cards and, congrats on your escape! totally hear you on the rough edges of the rulebook specifically the components list was embarrassing =( Though we have corrected the components list and provided a downloadable replacement sheet with an updated components list. the BGG listing has some other resources related to some rules clarifications. I promise, we did our best to get this rulebook to do the best job it could, had copy editors, read and re-read, and tried to edit a great deal but we definitely learned some lessons on this release. if we ever do a reprint we will fix all this stuff. thanks again for playing!!

One of the most unique games out there... Nice review! The expansion is also wonderful 😊

One thing you missed is that you can advance the Raiders event by junking or paying for the Raid effect. (I am not even mentioning how many times you forgot to draw cards 😂)

Excellent stream! looking forward to Wednesday's two player game.

I was looking for Bloody Inn for some time and then randomly local stores fill up...probably someone found some in their storage

Excellent breakdown. You speak to a lot of qualities of the game that I think are missing in other analysis channels. Your attention to detail doesn’t feel so in-depth that it’s plodding, but it also doesn’t skimp on the important information that make me want to play/own this game. I really look forward to more breakdowns like this!!! ❤

Fantastic video and I love the Bloody Inn!

I enjoyed it!

I really like the way you presented the final opinions here. Greet job!

I've played Illumination 3-4 times. The game is excellent, but I find it very hard to sell to my boardgaming group, due to the artwork specifically. A game about medieval manuscripts with childlike artwork comes out as jarring to them. Those who enjoy history and the Middle Ages were delighted with The Road to Canterbury, but couldn't get into Illumination; they expected a more historical style. And those who would appreciate the artwork weren't interested in the theme. Having listened to Alf's interview, maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it looks like deep down the author didn't agree with the publisher's choice. He insists that his prototype (which used historical artwork) was not definitive, which makes me think that he's trying to appease people who complained (I know some did on BGG). Anyway, I know that designing, publishing and selling boardgames is not an easy job, and they know better than anyone what they were going for and whether they succeeded, but I dream of a fusion between Deus lo Vult (perfect artwork, unfinished game) and Illumination (excellent gameplay, discouraging artwork)😅

Incredibly helpful video, thankyou for this, your presentation style is absolutely spot on. Take care.

What a great, concise review and brief play through. Thanks, man.

Sounds like a game to avoid, poorly playtest or developed

I want this game.

It’s easy to see you put some real effort in here. Nice work. I’d play.

I’d play that! Video makes you want to see more.

That’s really cool!

Awesome!

Game publisher Adam here. Thank you for such a fresh take on a board game review! Love your thoughtful comments on the reasons many abstract games struggle and that you've landed on the word "Harmony" as a descriptor. That validates our design goals! Glad you liked the game obviously, and I am now a sub too! Also appreciated the mathematical breakdowns in the afterthoughts! We did have a programmer help with large-scale simulations and made some game design decisions to understand the first player move advantage in theory. Also noting the component quality issues you saw on your copy and sorry that happened, but resourceful fix with the utility knife! Feel free to reach out if you need replacement components.

I like your review style and I will remain a subscriber. Now, that is saying something because I quickly tired of several of the other popular board game review channels. I felt they they felt obligated to crank out lots of reviews and just seemed to be going through the motions. I like that you give me a good, quick, substantial feel for the game and then some food for thought. The afterthoughts is a good way of adding the more nuance with unnecessary lengthening the review.

I ordered this game and I am w8ting to arrive! my father is a great chess player but most boardgames turn him off with complicated rules. but this is a game that I am 100% sure he will love it! there is another way to win the game, and is by complete all pegs on one pice. and there is an expansion of this game too, its a bit rare to find, but its about creatures of the pound with really nice illustrations and put rock as obstacles on the board. anyway, This game was greatelly overlooked by many, and feels like an instant classic.

your final thoughts were a huge surprise. After some thinking I think it was indeed better to avoid tile laying games. It should need some kind of discovery mechanism in DitD, so not lay the whole dungeon before playing.

you make me miss diablol videos haha especially with the girl scream ♪ You have a great voice btw, do more with that.

Awesome video review! I hope a lot more people find your wonderful channel.

I like the aesthetics and humour, but not enough to dislodge Dungeon Lords from my collection. Very solid review: camera angles were informative but not cluttered or awkward, gameplay explanation was intuitive and well-paced. I felt your critiques were fairly presented and constructive. Hard line to walk! Looking forward to more content in the future, and I'll be keeping an eye on Wesley's next project. Cheers!

You're back!

~ brilliant review, Thanks.. I'll be back for the Alfie interview! 😃😒

I love Alf's games. Famtastiqa is still one of best deck building games I've played. Can't wait for this game. Looks great. Thanks for the video.

Great review! Very thorough and helpful.
