Are Saltjord and Leviathan Wilds even out yet? Are they even available? One thing that's noticeably different between reviewers and the "rest of us" lists is that there's usually games on reviewers lists that most people haven't even had a chance to buy yet. Spectacular, Phoenix New Horizon are on Rahdo's list, but are they out yet or available to the general public? Anyway, kind of frustrating when you have to be one of the backers or wait for a reprint to even get a chance to get the game.

What cutoff do you give it though? I backed Leviathan Wilds and received it about 8 months ago, did it not come out in 2024 for me? Saltfjord was available to buy in Essen and arrived in UK shops at the start of December. Freedom Five just delivered to backers but you can buy it from the publisher’s website in the US. It’s going to be different depending on where you are in the world but how much should I alter the list based on that? I left Captain’s Chair off because that is definitely planned for release in a few weeks time so there’s that 🙂

You find this better than Gaia Project?
@slickerdripsКүн бұрын
Gaia Project is heavier and probably a lot more strategic really, even though you can see the scoring in Civolution you’re not guaranteed of good ways to achieve some of them, there’s a bit more go with the flow with the cards you’ll end up with (although you’re choosing from a bigger pool yourself at the start). For pure fun factor I’m enjoying Civolution more than I enjoyed my run returning to Gaia Project this year (which I really enjoyed!)

Great vid Tom. Got this from my sister in law who’s over from the states. Played our first game yesterday. Rule book isn’t the best. Pretty sure that we added the highlight token scores as the value of the card were we wrong? We loved the game definitely my theme. Will you be doing a 2 player play through? Thanks again.
@slickerdrips4 күн бұрын
I’ll have to check, that sounds right though because the tokens flip to a +20 side you’d never see the way I played 🙂

That was really interesting 🙂 "The Final Exam" case, which is already in the app, serves as the demo case. It’s roughly one-third the length of a full case. For now, it has only been published in an Italian magazine, but I expect it will be made available in some form by the time of the English release in January!

Some villains have health depending on the number of heroes, otherwise it plays the same since the scheme deck gets drawn at the end of every hero’s turn

a couple of correction questions: 1) at ... there were 4 Thors in the column Tom chose, but he only discarded 3. Are you limited to only 3 cards, or can you take all of the cards of the character you pick? That Thor left behind was also a first appearance losing Jarvis 1 point. Finally, that would have left Jarvis with only 4 Thor cards losing him 5 points. 2) at 55:42, Tom starts the count for Jarvis with the tokens for the Black Widow and Thor and calls out "Forty", but their tokens were both on the 10 point box. Therefore, shouldn't Jarvis only have 20 for those? So I think Jarvis would have lost a total of 26 points making his final tally only slightly higher than Tom's.
@slickerdrips8 күн бұрын
Yeah you can have all the cards of one hero so that should have been discarded 🙂 I think the 20/10 point got caught eventually but that’s quite a close score now I’m pleased with that!
