A Surprising Asymmetric Strategy Game - Dark Venture: Battle of the Ancients - (Quackalope Preview)

[@puffcap_]

dude, a month or so ago I had never seen you on a kickstarter page, and you have covered EVERY game I have looked into in recent light. And this is the second (that Im aware of) to have a custom quackalope card. You really have pushed yourself into the limelight despite being a fairly small channel. I try to leave a lot of comments more than a quack quack because I see a lot of effort being put into this production and it seems to be making you a lot of nice connections. I really hope the best for you and jan and the crew.

[@BoardGameCo]

Quack! And agreed :)

[@djfusion2808]

I got this a few days ago and it's an absolute cracker of a game, there's just so much to like about it - well worth the long wait.

[@kevinlammers5833]

Thanks for the preview. Stumbled into this on KS but the art didn’t grab me. I’ll go take another look thanks to your positive and insightful comments. Really appreciate you digging in here, you’re the best in the business!

[@shaihuludkido]

Finally someone spreading some love for Dark Venture!

[@Gtomer]

Would love to see a two player playthrough. I'm not a big two player games enthusiastic but Quackalope's playthroughs really make them looks like a lot of fun.

[@Quackalope]

[@corvus418]

Yeah, and a playthrough is ten fold more useful than these surface level preview videos.

[@Echos55555]

Thanks for the video! Backing this for sure!

[@hellboy7424]

These types of creators should be treated as the most complete and complex creative geniuses.

[@successfulgeek]

This game was way more fun than I expected at first look. It definitely takes a bit of learning but the games aren't super long so it is easy to play again and again!

[@Quackalope]

Yep! It just hit that right level for me - fun, interesting, quick!

[@successfulgeek]

@@Quackalope I just want to absorb more of your troops

[@Dawas__2001]

thanks god i watched the video at last 24 hours of the campaign!!! how did i not knowing this game! thanks for leading me to this gorgeous a asymmetric less an one hour game❤️❤️❤️

[@dominicmichaud2521]

Thank you so much for this!

[@Garretlike]

Day 1 backer here, can't wait for this gem. Same with Rob Lemons first game, which i am even more excited about if there should be a 2nd print next year with some rules corrected. :)

[@ravenkey708]

Neat looking game. Also, I dig the tshirt, Jesse.

[@Wallach_a]

These eps are gold. 👍🏻

[@patriziopastore9895]

The art is amazing for my point of view... this November was really full of game hard to choose

[@kalega311]

Pledging $1 for now. Hoping the PM is still open when they launch the Dark Venture Adventure Card Game 2Ed KS early next year, so I can commit to both around the same time.

[@garmit420]

@Quackalope where do you get your t-shirts from sir Quack. I'm totally digging it.

[@jeffrey107]

I would have easily dismiss this game based on artwork alone, but you and boardgameco on it made me feel confident getting it :)

[@D3m0n7x]

Hi Jesse, Loved the video again!, hey I have a question/request if you are able to, there's this sort of obscure game, called Warparty, its a team wargame for 2-4 players, and its semi asymmetric, I have found very little to no info on the game, it came out in 2013 I belive, have you played it? if so what are your thoughts about it?

[@DoppelgangerF02]

any way we could get some name drops for more of those games on that shelf of games you dont think youd ever be aware of?

[@Quackalope]

Spires end, forgotten depths, into the woods, Townsfolk Tussle.

[@DoppelgangerF02]

@@Quackalope awesoooome, thank you!

[@candleman6660]

Quack, what are the playability and level of difficulty of this game?

[@patrickbelanger2535]

Is this game going to retail or is it Kickstarter exclusive?

[@Quackalope]

KS only - maybe on their website until the order runs out.

[@undeceased4574]

Quack? Asymmetrical games? Quack!

[@kernelforbin6185]

Game looks great, that ooze faction is fantastic. Jesse, google goose tongues.

[@SeanUCF]

I wonder how this compares to For What Remains.

[@fablesmith1931]

Thanks for the video, as always. One point of critique if I may, that 'hard-rock' music in the background doesn't work with your way of speaking. Too penetrative in my opinion. Maybe I'm the only one though. Rock on Jesse!

[@Quackalope]

Haha, as I was just listening to it . . . I agree :)

[@cedric7960]

No late pledge?

[@bartwalczak2715]

Hey, Jessie, I'm sorry, but the music really distracted from the content of this video.

[@Quackalope]

I agree - on the computer it was quieter than it is here. Sadly, not a lot I can do to change it at the moment.

[@NatanelApfel]

Why would an artist go out and do something crazy like make a game, thats super weird. (jk jk xD) This is really cool :) I like the look of those hefty dice. And I love the aesthetic, its giving me retro vibes mixed with metal album covers!

[@Quackalope]

Yep! It’s a very cool stylized game! Just the type I like!

[@SenseiJae]

Shame it was released in a sea of great kickstarters, I would have liked to try it.

[@G0F15H]

I think that's just where this hobby is at now; it has exploded in the last year or two. There's new IPs, spin-offs of existing IPs and major expansions that are just as big as the core game. There's so much content coming out that we simply can't back/buy everything. Even if you can financially afford it, you'll eventually run out of shelf space and many things won't ever make it to the table because there isn't enough time in the day to learn the rules and play all these great games. I guess it's a good problem to have

[@gorzagboneripa4133]

Hi

[@richarddurrer9617]

Well, got me interested enough that I've saved it and will take a look at it last 48 hours and check the cash flow.
