We English love hearing our towns mispronounced, so please don't take this as criticism, but you might like to know that 'Gloucester' is pronounced 'Gloster' and 'Worcester' is pronounced 'Wuhster'... if you ever have to pronounce 'Leicester', it's 'Lester' btw 😂 x
@BoardGameDaveКүн бұрын
Haha, thank you so much for the corrections! I filmed this before I got into premier league soccer (Go Reds!) but now at least I know how to pronounce “Leicester”! But a lot of those towns are definitely not pronounced phonetically or intuitively! 🤣 “Wuhster”? How?!

I agree, Empires is the best expansion for Dominion, certainly of all the ones I have played a lot, and that's most of them. Dark Ages is great, as is Adventures, and none of them are bad but Empires has so many great features that it wins out.

hi there, if you're a solo player, i made one that doesn't requires any printing, and only just what's in the box ! I love this game and even more in solo with this homemade mode i made just recently ! it became my 1st and favorite "cozzy" game for solo plays. It's fast (20 25min per game) puzzly and dynamic (with the addition of Few powers you can use if you have unlocked them) I already loved Cascadia, but since it became DIgital, Harmonies just replaced it in my collection, as it is a bit more crunchier and tactical. I really love this Harmonies Cheers from belgium !

11 Modules? Kind of puts me off, feels like a very undecisive approach to game design (and testing?). It for players it will probably take for ever to check which modules work well together and which wont.. I personally don't think that this is for me
@BoardGameDave23 күн бұрын
Eleven modules probably sounds like a lot initially but not once you look at the Kickstarter page (or watch a playthrough). For example, playing with the train board basically adds three modules, and most of the modules are tiny little things like award tiles, the contract refill board, and farmers markets. I went all-in both times I've played so far and it didn't feel too disjointed or overwhelming for what it's worth! But that's just my experience and I'm never upset if you go with your gut in thinking this expansion's not for you! (I'm typically a base game kind of guy in general, actually!) 😅

Trashing cards is a great way to get rid of those coppers and estates that you start the game with so you can get to some better cards faster/more often! 👍🏻 You can trash a card from your hand any time you play a card that has a trashing ability on it. (Like the Chapel, for example.) I hope that helps!

i know its been a year since this video so maybe you can tell me. Do any of the coins have discoloration to them?
@fmar52829 күн бұрын
I bought a pack of 50 gold only coins for my boardgames. At first i had a honeymoon phase with them where i would treat them very delicately. But now i put them in a sack, jingling and scraping against each other all the time. Doing that does produce some tiny hard to see scratches (adds character and aesthetic really tbh) But as far as discoloration. I got them a year ago id say, and they dont rub off on my fingers or my boardgames or table. They still have that dull gold look on them like when i got them new. There will be very very minor defects on a few coins when you first get them, but its easy to ignore. They are quality checked before shipped. Too expensive if you wanted to get the FULL set. Best if you get just a few of the coins you DO like. But even then if its for board games then youd still need other metal coins to round out denominations. Be sure to check for discount codes before you order too.
