A Refreshing Theme for Heavier Eurogames! Sweet Lands Review

[@Renzuo77]

Your explanation for this game is the BEST I have seen, clean, concise, with examples for actions and of course, amazing shots of the game! I'm still deciding if I'll back this but with your video I'm inching closer to pulling the trigger 😆

BTW, this video came timely… I was just looking at Cardboard East’s excellent video about this game, when I received the notification that your video posted! Both of your videos are very good, btw!

[@TimChuon]

oh i LOVED Jay's coverage of it-definitely got me more hyped for Sweet Lands as well!

8:29 Now, for a 2-player game, are some of the worker placement spots already pre-populated to tighten the board up? Because otherwise, what incentive will the other player have to pay 2 cards, just to follow the action which your opponent did - when there are plenty of open spaces, for which all you would have to pay is 1 card?

[@TimChuon]

that's a very good point! at this point of the rulebook that I have, it doesn't mention there are any different setups for 2 players! There would be an "imitation board" for 3-4 players only, and we didn't really take much incentive to do 2 cards at the 2 player count now that you mention it!

9:04 Of course, unless you KNOW exactly which strategy you are going to use that particular game, you would normally be moving up those spaces AFTER you did the groundwork, so you just need to make sure that you leave time to capitalize on the fruits of your own labor by actually moving as far as you can up the track which gives you the points for doing what you are doing.

[@TimChuon]

exactly this! classic moves but i do love the flexibility sweet lands provides for that!

[@JJ_TheGreat]

14:48 What about the pass cards, which give you points for passing??

[@TimChuon]

i didn't use those too much during our plays, but they would be solid areas for points for sure!

Looks like a game I would only play on BGA.

MILK! It seems to be a nice game entering my collection! Regarding the unclear card, my interpretation of the rulebook is: You receive one gold income for each orange (or yellow?) citizen card you've already played, regardless of whether it's in an automation chain

No fair you get a copy early! Btw, there’s some weird static in your mic.

[@TimChuon]

ruffling against my sweater today hahah im gonna try to figure it out for next time!

[@cheryl-rhymes-with-feral]

@@TimChuon oh my gosh thank you for explaining that, lol. To me, it sounded like you were jiggling dice in your other hand off camera, but there was no rolling of dice in the game. It was killing me trying to figure out what that sound actually was. 😂

ALMOND MILK (I am allergic to dairy)!

[@VampguyN85]

Same. I keep almond, Oat and soy milk in the house.

[@TimChuon]

*NON-DAIRY milk good point!! 🥳
