A Review of 3D Settlers of Catan Terrain Game Tiles by Leifkicker

[@brningpyre]

I'd love to see more board game reviews on the channel.

[@gemofmagic9436]

brningpyre same!

[@SanjuroSan]

Man, you put a ton of work into your videos - you rock, love your channel!

[@hansgougar1874]

All of the ports are turned around backwards. I'm so triggered right now.

[@MGlBlaze]

He has them the right way around in other shots, so I suppose he did realise the mistake at some point. It did strike me as odd, though.

[@Kyle8B]

I burst out laughing that was REALLY bad XD

[@Charlaaayyy]

I thought I was crazy and looked to the comments to see if anyone else noticed, glad it was the top comment lol.

[@Baby_boodle]

Was it actually traumatic, Hans?

[@wisteriasnow646]

Same here

[@Tyubirocks1]

Professor.... The ports.....

[@smilesaredaggers3088]

Rishadan and tapped!!!

[@Small_Panda]

@prof I honestly love these kinds of videos. I have yet to ever be able to afford them, but I still love seeing these kinds of products that I generally would never see myself. As I am always amazed at the talent and skill of some people. Please continue to make this kind of content.

[@joshewert13]

Anyone else lose it when that 2:1 was backwards at the start?

[@samk8005]

Just pretend that it's a neighboring island you can trade with :)

[@mcbutch83]

I would like to see a review of the board game Firefly

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

Here you go! I did one here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHezqaCca7t_rbs

[@mcbutch83]

Thanks man. How did I miss that? Oh well, glad it exists. Any chance for a review of the expansion sets? Lolol

[@Omegaroth666]

Butch Jones I enjoyed Firefly: The Board Game. It was a bit long, but it didn't get stale or repetitive. Also, the system allowed for a great deal of immersion.

[@FFXIK]

Those are nice and the price isn't bad either. My only gripe would be the MDF. It's not the most durable of the processed woods. It can be damaged easily and isn't too fond of moisture. It's still an exceptional accessory for an exceptional game.

[@scuffedwizard]

These kind of tiles could help me in Dnd hosting.

[@PipeSmokingBoardgamer]

My thoughts exactly! 2 birds, 1 stoned...or something like that? Peace.

[@firekram]

I have often wanted to play a game of catan, and then use the board at the end to build the world. I would say seafarers is the best for this

[@LowGuppy]

I don't like Catan, but I like the idea of products like this. I'd love to see a fancy set of train pieces for Ticket to Ride, for example. Also, I like videos for board game accessories. Oh, I'd like to see you review Lords of Waterdeep, a much much much better game that's still a pretty good gateway game.

[@Cyber_Shorty]

Love this!!! Good vid prof! I would love to see some more board game vids! Maybe even a few blogs! Keep up the good work, and thank you!!

[@saturiankhazard]

Leif is getting better and better. Can't wait for the Mana Vault deck-box... I hope my deck-boxes will drive as much attention as His. Cheers Prof.

[@11danzizzle11]

I'm glad to see a nice commercial version of these modeled terrain tiles. I 3d printed a set of Catan tiles and was really happy with how they turned out but are no where near as snazzy as these.

[@NULLxFORxNONE]

This seems like a cool thing to buy as a gift and have a bunch of other friends pitch in for

[@KensanOni]

Buy at Target, not your local game store? *gasp*!

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

no, no, just return your beer-soaked game pieces at Target....I mean...no, I didn't do that.

[@legprop8602]

oof

[@emdub9679]

Tolarian Community College Buy at your local game store, return damaged product to your local Target or other big brand store. Got it.

[@x2k]

Hey man, I'm just glad the prof also teaches practical real life lessons.

[@frankbednarz4813]

Return fraud at Target.

[@Pierceas]

I love that you are branching out from Magic also! Thanks for the review Prof.

[@stevesuperman1]

Catan rocks! What a great surprise to see it here and a Leifkicker review at that! I own a previous version of Leifkicker's Catan pieces and they are every bit as amazing as the Professor has described and more. I have always loved my Catan board and will never regret the purchase. Highly recommended!

[@triple_gem_shining]

Love the craftsmanship. Sweet promotion.

[@33shin33]

Professor please make more boardgame reviews this was really an amazing video !!

[@danelson128]

Love the board game reviews prof. Would love to see some of the tops games of the past few years get reviews, like Scythe, Terraforming Mars, Gloomhaven, etc.

[@Yurikan]

Holy smokes those tiles look amazing and also it's great to see you expanding into the board games! (Well, tile games in this case)

[@gatodeluvas6514]

Professor, it would be a great idea to do tutorials like that one about other boardgames like Dungeon Twister! Love your job :)

[@alexbianchi15]

this game looks interesting but what is it? Can you make a separate video on that?

[@GeorgiosD90]

It is an overhyped ressource collecting game.

[@arenkai]

It's a simple ressource gathering board game. You throw dice and the number you get decides what tiles produce resources. Minimal strategy needed, maximum fun for all the family. I play with my parents who have 0 knowledge in games whatsoever and they have a blast ! It's far from the best board game out there but it's really good at what it does.

[@firekram]

There are deeper experiences to be had in the expansions

[@GeorgiosD90]

deeper in your pocket, you mean right?

[@firekram]

What I mean is that the expansions do have more for the hard core players, who were already going to spend 80 bucks on a board game, you can get the base and (cities and knights) and enough should be going on that for you to enjoy. (without leaving your casual friends behind)

[@thecrazycapn]

Thanks for bringing this kind've thing to my attention. Super cool.

[@endgame]

Catan is no longer my gateway game of choice to show friends because there are simply other, better gateway games. E.g. Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride or Alhambra. Great review either way!

[@arenkai]

CATAN is the only game I could get my parents into. Do you have better ones I could play with them when I get back home for the holidays ? They aren't fond of strategy games, so CATAN was a perfect fit.

[@LowGuppy]

Yeah, it's better than Monopoly but not much else. It deserves credit for starting the board game boom, but it's already been left behind by so many better games. I saw a list of 10 "don'ts" for board game design and it does like 4 or 5 of them.

[@endgame]

Try any of the ones I suggested on my post.. they aren't so strategy filled and are fun.

[@endgame]

Yes, rolling dice for resources is one of the dont's. You can also be systematically shut out from resources.

[@thelordstarfish]

Do you happen to still have the link to this list, or know where we could find it? A quick Google search didn't give me anything.

[@emdub9679]

Thanks professor, definitely going to check this little game out soon!

[@michaelroywright9975]

You know what would go great with this video? A gameplay one too.

[@erichbecker3109]

Agreed, I would love to see you Branch out with board gaming as well. I collect both magic and board games and think your great reviewing would do well in the board gaming community. The board gaming industry is so hot right now, especially.with kickstarter.

[@IzzetRight]

Love your videos. Very professional and well done.

[@emdub9679]

Looks like Leifkicker found his calling, looks good but I don't know anyone that plays Catan. I may look into it for Christmas, board games are perfect this time of year.

[@naejin]

I bought my sister's family Catan last xmas, and they seemed to love it.

[@0rthogonal]

Roman thats too bad. Everyone in my family and extended family plays. Greay holiday activity.

[@DekuLord]

"The only downside to this is that it isn't free." Not really, there's no effective way to randomize the 3D tiles, so you still need to use the original tiles for that, which also adds time to set-up.

[@Carsf100]

I would love to see a review of the board game Evolution. A friend of mine recommended it to me and, while it seems cool, I'm really unsure of it! Love this video. I always enjoy seeing "designer" products for games, and this one really takes the cake!

[@epicurusstan3223]

these seem like a labor of love

[@laurencebrown3822]

If I had known about these a few years ago when me and my friends played this weekly, I'd have probably proposed that we all pitch in to get a set. The heavy usage has really scuffed the tiles we have, and the borders need objects placed on them to not only prevent sliding around from an accidental bump, but also from some slight warping. Paying upwards of $400 would be prohibitive to us singly, but bringing that down to $60 or so per person who regularly plays seems like a wise investment if the game is a regular fixture for the group.

[@gemofmagic9436]

Looks gorgeous, but what happens if a piece is dropped from a table to a carpet/wood/tile floor? What is the durability like?

[@docterfantazmo]

I've gotten into Board gaming over the last two years or so and I keep hearing about Catan, I'll think I'll give it a go over Christmas. The custom kit is NOICE.

[@soylencer]

Yes! Do more board games, broski! Also, You're one of my favorite internet-people. Don't let that recent business get you too down, Proff.

[@Sykdude]

So awesome. Love when you review non-mtg stuff.

[@EnmaMusicProduction]

hey prof! mind making a video on how to play board games like these in the future? I really love learning stuff from your channel

[@oom-3262]

Interesting review. Truly a classic game. It deserves more attention.

[@XxThomdiddyxX]

Wow those tiles look beautiful! Cool custom work for a great game.

[@magicmiracles]

Great video Prof. :) Also would be nice to make reviews of your favourite board games once in a while. ;) Thanks! :)

[@sweetkicksvideos7566]

Prof I would love for you to make a How to Play Settlers of Catan video!

[@dcell2585]

This is a fair bit cheaper than the official 3D Catan that was a limited release over a decade ago, which was limited to 3-4 player

[@Krokar01]

Do Mice and Mystics! It's an adorable board game, your wife and kid will love it!

[@UndyingMTG]

I honestly didnt realize catan was that popular. Literally nobody in my surrounding area plays it. I was intrigued by it, but again nobody plays it around me.

[@dronjack666]

Omg, omg, omg the prof talking of catan!!!!!!

[@FtonDavid]

CATAN 3D Collector's Edition (2005) cost me $540CAD but it is only 3-4 player. Very nice product.

[@akselhansen304]

im not a fan of the wooden base and that it doesnt always look super tight with small gaps and stuff but i love the idea and overall design

[@Latino-Gamer]

My favorite game right now is Marvel Legendary. It'd be cool if you took a look at some of those sets. As for this 3D Catan, it's the kind of thing I would buy if I were rich, but I have a pretty complete Catan game as it is.

[@kamikazehansu]

I would really appreciate more board game reviews. Maybe a video on smaller card games like Lost Legacy and Love Letter would be appreciated by the MtG community as well, as they are cheaper to always carry with you than the average Standard or Modern deck. Not sure if it's available in the US but there is a great travel version for Love Letter, great when you want to kill a few minutes. That said, the Catan Travel version is quite the sight to behold and perfect for sunny days in the park.

[@colby3896]

Just imagine if Liefkicker sold custom made settlements, roads and a robber! Those would look amazing, although it may be easier to tell which pieces belong to which players by using the original pieces...

[@kangatalus9646]

Excellent board game review. I’m looking forward to others. Too expensive but beautiful.

[@drfunkburger3895]

I love your work Brian

[@PAUPERGANDA]

SO Tempted...love that game, great review too!

[@amaterasu48]

hahaha I just got this board game delivered to my house. What a timing! :D

[@dungeonmaster16]

Be interesting you do Board game reviews that were kickstarted. One coming out soon that was kickstarted is dice throne that may interest you.

[@ty_sylicus]

Good stuff Prof. I wouldn't mind investing is this someday if Catan sees more play in my home. I'm a huge fan of the simple, fun game of Star Realms. Any chance of that being reviewed? Colony Wars maybe?

[@voweless]

The Target jokes were funny, Prof. I lolled ;)

[@gemofmagic9436]

voweless samesies, those cracked me up :D

[@TheCardCollectingGuy]

This is so cool! I'm thinking about picking this up.

[@SifuJavis]

I'd like to see boss monster review or even the new db super card game. Love your work.

[@Junius01]

Just out of curiosity, how long have you had this Leifkicker Tile Set and how often do you play Settlers of Catan? And on a sidenote, what is your favorite board game (excluding Settlers of Catan and Dominion)?

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

excluding those? favorite game is Lords of Waterdeep

[@kereminde]

Lords of Waterdeep with the expansions, or without? (Trying to decide if those go on my Christmas list this year.) (Also, yay, Catan and Lords of Waterdeep.)

[@swizzdo]

professor will you be adding more products to the campus store anytime soon ? like different colors of the eclipse sleeves

[@jish55]

Next time you do a deckbox review, do the ones from etsy. I got a leather deck box from a seller (3 actually) and its my go to deck box

[@TopsideCrisis346]

I don't suppose you could review Ascension? The popular deck-building game was designed by a Pro Tour player, and is into its seventh major expansion.

[@UarchT]

Please do more board games reviews!!!

[@ttiagoox]

As a MTG casual player i mostly look for stand alone card games that can provide fun with friends without needing everyone to buy their own decks. I really recommend you try and review the games made by White Wizard Studios. Star Realms, Hero Realms, and specially, their own take on drafting fantasy: Epic Card Game. All ready to play sets are on 20$ with expansions to the base games. Among those (since i love Sci Fi and deck building) Star Realms is my favorite, and the digital Version is great too. Available for download on android os Ios devices for free with a price only for multiplayer and the same rules as the physical game.

[@AstraRandom]

I wouldn't mind seeing reviews on betrayal at the house on the hill, any of the dnd board games and the order of the stick board game for ah reasons

[@roydickel9183]

Second I saw this my first thought was that's the quality of tiles Explores of Ixalan needed

[@maxcollazo6388]

3:53 how can i trade when the ports dont rest on the shore?! :P

[@kobudo]

A bit rich for my blood, but definitely a cool product. Might be an interesting DIY project to make and paint a set from other materials... or make a classy-looking wood inlay set.

[@H4J1L3]

What's that one mountain tile with Wheat, Sheep, Lumber and Lava? Is it a 5 resource tile from some expansion?

[@inferno445games3]

They’re beautiful tiles and if I wasn’t a college student who doesn’t even have her own copy of catan, I’d probably at least consider getting them.

[@jish55]

Id love to see you do reviews on red dragon inn and dead of winter

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

omg, I love Red Dragon Inn!

[@jish55]

right? It's awesome, I have almost every deck, and also went and over spent by getting the metal coins... I swear I'm not addicted to the game.

[@LuisBarrim]

Review Ascension! You quoted it in the past, but never made a full review on it!

[@arran2264]

WHY WASN'T EXPLORERS OF IXALAN JUST THIS TYPE OF BOARD WITH NO BAD DECKS OMG?!

[@roydickel9183]

My immedite thought was Explorers of Ixalan needs this

[@joshuaortiz2693]

Hey profesor, I just started playing MTG and i was doing some research and found this channel, I love your channel btw. I just wondered if you could advice me on mi first deck to play :)

[@endgame]

Great video, Professor! Here are some games that I'd love you to review -- Power Grid, Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, Dominion (2nd. Ed), Android: Netrunner, The Legend of the Five Rings Card Game, Twilight Imperium, Champions of Midgard (Very similar to Waterdeep, so interested in getting your opinion).

[@ttiagoox]

Among those i really support The Legend of the Five Rings, great game with a beaultiful art style (and i love asian thematics). Dominion on the other hand (even tough still really good) have given rise to other cool deck building games, like Star Realms or Miskatonic School for Girls.

[@FriendlyLuck]

Professional voice: “Target is where you return your defected game” Out of script voice: “Don’t really do that...”

[@LottieSquidHugs]

id love to see you take a look at king of tokyo or its sequel, king of new york

[@XimCines]

Maybe you should try a channel exclusively for board games since people feel TCC is Magic heavy only

[@jamesgray658]

What's the volcano-esque tile with the tiny parts of all the resources on it? The set appears to have the correct numbers of all the other tiles. Is it a spare, or is there some supplemental rule for a wild tile?

[@epicseconds8348]

James Gray It is a tile from a supplemental set, the gold tile. Whenever you get ressources from it you can actually choose which one you wanna have 😉

[@erikstone8336]

I would like to see a review of Twilight Imperium 5 edition! As always love the videos and please keep up the awesome work!

[@danielwiltse8816]

The sheep are super cute😍

[@WildcardZwei]

Professor, where did you get that sick tie and what brand is it?

[@uyakoll]

I would like to see a review of the game Dominion.

[@thelordstarfish]

I suppose it's possible... or rather, quite likely, that I've just had spectacularly bad luck with this game, but personally whenever I've tried to play it, I just end up frustrated. Usually for the simple reason that *literally nobody* on the board has any of a specific resource I need. I distinctly remember a game where for turn after turn after turn after turn, nobody ever got any wood. And then when someone finally did get some... the very next turn a 7 was rolled. And then since so many turns had gone by without anyone getting that extremely vital resource, naturally everyone was sitting there with way too many resources on their hand... and said wood was promptly lost before anyone got a chance to use it. Is this in any way relevant to the product? No, I guess not, the product itself looks excellent for what it is... I just for some reason felt compelled to whine about something that happened years ago.

[@keaton256]

I'd love to see a review of Lords of Waterdeep

[@samdavis6722]

I would like to see a review of Legendary: A Marvel Deck Building Game

[@snowren24]

I dont see the box for sale anymore on the Intarsia Etsy page

[@VanguardSpammersITofficial]

Hei professor, did you try the Legends of Five Rings lcg? Would love to hear your 2 cents about it and lcgs in general! :)

[@MightyMjl]

There is a board game called The Voyages of Marco Polo which I would love to see a review of.

[@arenkai]

Hey Prof ! Did you play the Arkham Horror LCG ?! If not you really should, it's fantastic ! :D

[@TheAngel207]

@01:03 Yes! Yes it is.

[@jennycranston7687]

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the game Android: Netrunner, especially with the new core set coming out soon, and games like the Mage Knight Board Game and Great Western Trail.

[@Yinyanyeow]

I'm curious if you would like to do 5-minute dungeon.

[@imthecaiman1703]

I have a request for a commander/EDH deck in MTG. Would it be possible to do a guide on a Nylea, God of the Hunt? I have a copy of it and wanted to make a commander deck around it.

[@barknochenbamboo5286]

Please review Age of Renaissance

[@theSavageHippie]

I don't get it? How do I get my cards in these sleeves?

[@V2993k]

I don't see a desert tile. Is it supposed to be that volcano thing?

[@TolarianCommunityCollege]

Desert tile close up at 4:53
