i have never been more disappointed in a game than gloomhaven. i live in china and went to so much trouble to lug that thing halfway around the world, and it made my luggage overweight so they charged me an extra hundred bucks. when i finally got it to the table, i discovered its not an adventure game, its a deck building puzle game. its not suited for multiple players, because typically there is one way to succeed in a scenario, so there is always one person that takes the lead and makes the decisions. i am not a fan of deckbuilders, so it really wasnt for me

Uhhhh… I’m pretty sure you bought a different game… None of the things you’re describing are Gloomhaven?? The real question is what kind of idiot do you have to be to go through all that nonsense of getting back to China, like it’s some sort of long lost family heirloom of yours or something beyond important to your overall well-being. Only to come to conclusion that your beloved isn’t anything at all what you “dreamed” it was going?!?! Do you seriously not do a bunch of research on it, watch “how to play Gloomhaven” videos on KZbin, etc… prior to quite literally traveling to the other side of the planet and lug that massive thing back home with you?!? 😂🤣😂 I can’t even believe you would go through such lengths for a game that you knew ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about! 🤣

Great video. Thank you for the over/view- reviews. There is a saying “there are never too many games to play” while that maybe be true.. it sure is daunting to just pick a title, there’s just so many. So your list is nice 👌 I like talisman as an easy party game. I also appreciate how you’ve rated the playability alone since it’s not always easy to gather a party and certain games are complex enough that a couple of play throughs are warranted for a thorough understanding of the pacing, mechanics etc.

I think it is important to remove the 10 of each cube from the bag before placing the rubble, to keep the appropriate ratio/chance of gold being placed as rubble. If you leave them in the bag while placing it throws the intended ratios off.

I'm interested into solo dungeon RPGs, but rather than buying these I'm slowly making one huge. Gloomhaven seems to catch the atmosphere for me, but imo it has major flaws too. 1. Square or hexagon, both enforce certain structure - my D&D maps are made out of circle tokens, movement through connection points. You can make your own maps, you can follow any angle or number of movement options up to six. 2. Literally no randomness should take place, because every scenario should have a solution to it, which can be written down, with goal of completing it in as few moves as possible, so you adjust pre-fight preparation time to the strength of enemies and always end up winning on the edge of death. 3. All these games take too much time, in my case it's easy to go through, brain-eater is to write down an unbeatable record and it's on players how seriously they take it. You can use as many expansions as you want, adding the depth to the game, but you must write it on first line of your solution. Once someone finds solution they think can be the fastest, they write number of moves into the scenario, so for other players that's a challenge to find it, or beat it. 4. In my version, since it's D&D, scenario only limits you in how many heroes you use. Their avatar+name tokens, their backstory, investment in their stats and abilities are up to your adjustment, according to obstacles they're about to face. You can make cooperating machine, or prepare for split of the party etc. 5. You can play one scenario, or connect more of them into campaign. If campaign-maker doesn't like that player must write down moves, he has to do more work: training and healing paid in moves should be disallowed and campaign-creator must find out how strong enemies should be, which materials should only be available etc. to ideally leave only one option how to prepare for critical obstacles, leaving space for mistakes between them. So my game allows you to make campaign where challenge is to just make it through - how games usually are set up - but I argue that's in fact the ultimate major flaw in games, it kills joy to create your own campaigns, makes it too hard, so you rather end up buying new games instead. For solo it is much better to be able to create quickly your own campaigns and play them without knowledge what the solution is, even though you made them. D&D with plenty of combinations, no Randomness and no need for Dungeon Master. Because great game is not just about taking player to whole new world. It is about set of rules and components by which worlds are not only lived through, but easily created by players themselves.

I appreciate these instructions. One thing that was unclear to me was if a player can keep drawing and playing out their turn until they decide to discard, or if they can only draw a maximum of two cards per turn.
@MattMeadowsDesigns6 ай бұрын
You only draw 2 tiles once at the start of your turn, then you can play as many tiles as you can on your own castle OR you can attack an opponents castle (or you pass). Then your turn ends. At the end of a turn, you always discard down to 4 cards if needed. Hope that helps.

Great. I have rarely seen such a good overview of selected dungeon crawlers. What I particularly liked: All crawlers were compared using a fixed scheme of important criteria. In addition, the reasons why the game could be number one for me personally and why it didn't land in first place for you. Very informative. Thank you!!! I subscribed to the channel immediately. KZbin content with useful content. Very nice.
