Do the retail copies include tower variant B2? I know it was included in the crowd funded copies but I don't know if the retail copies come with it or not. It's just a piece of cardboard that you can swap in the tower that makes it retain more pieces.

I appreciate the info. I have the Essential Version which does include the tower piece but I'd rather have the Classic Version so my City Collection would be uniform but I guess at this time there's not a way to have the Classic Edition and tower variant B2.

I agree with your assessment, although I would give the game an even higher score due to its “ low rules overhead / high strategy complexity.” I suspect that Windmill Valley will appear on many top ten games lists at year end. Also, I really appreciate your interspersing of still photos with the video because visualizing what you are talking about helps me better understand the points that you are making. Thanks for your usual thoughtful coverage of the game.

Sadly, no. We have just started venturing into playthrough videos. One challenge has been we only have one camera and not a great way to have an overhead mount. We are working through those issues and posted our first playthrough video. If there is a lot of demand we will look into venturing out to longer format games.

Thanks for dropping in and commenting! We are playing through our entire collection of 3500 games with a goal of reviewing them all before I die. We have games that go back to the 1960's so we will be featuring many older games along the way. Obviously the new and upcoming releases draw more attention, but we will not ignore the classics. In fact, we have a playlist called "Randrac's Vintage Vault" that features only games from before the modern era (before Catan and the Euro invasion). I hope you come back to join us again!

Heroes' special abilities only fire off after they spawn during their Show Off step, and never again. So you would never encounter an archer trying to shoot out of the central vault room. It's not a spawnpoint. If you were giving the heroes extra "show off" activations then that might explain why you struggled with difficulty! Great review, glad you enjoyed it despite the difficulty. This is our #1 game at the moment. We love it
