I had been saving this to watch. I hadn't realised I was in it! Flashbacks to being picked last at school. Great video as ever. And thanks for putting Dan in his rightful place 😂

Sorry to bring back bad memories.... at least you weren't last!

[@FrameDrumAndFlute]

It's interesting how games combine mechanics with an interesting story to produce an entertaining outcome.

[@AdaminWales]

That's always the goal. Mechanisms are important. Theme is important. But when both come together effectively, it's amazing!

[@boardgamefangirl]

LOL! Your standees are hilarious. We need a real game with these standees in them (at least print and play)---so meta!

[@ibitazombie]

Great video. Quite jarring seeing the non-cute version of Sushi Go

[@clumsydad7158]

wow, very impressive list and analysis ... these kind of games are definitely very attractive to me, i like the empowerment of being able to select and choose, very satisfying. thanks much

[@ripcordian]

Excellent! Informative and great editing. I would ad a few very interesting 2 player drafts: Kingdomino and among the stars revival.

Zee and Quinns? I'm on team Skins.

Another great overview! The one thing I would take issue with is Dan being picked last. Surely he would be a key element in any well balanced team?

[@AdaminWales]

Well, that's where you're mistaken Rob. If you had paid close attention, you would have seen that the sport they are playing is five-a-side Blood Bowl. Dan's gentlemanly manners will not take him far in this particular game.

[@harperrob]

Ah, good point. I withdraw my objection and wholeheartedly support all aspects of this excellent video.

My man’s really put his For Sale! cards out of order

Yay! Love these videos!

[@AdaminWales]

Glad you are enjoying them!

Unlikely you see this but I’m working on my first game (pirate drafting card game) and one card I want would be like the chopsticks in sushi go, is that too specific to sushi go to use? My goal is to make a game where you can use the same deck to play different variants and game modes (kind of like spot it) so the card in question would have a different purpose depending on the game as well

[@AdaminWales]

I don’t think that’s too specific. It’s a logical card ability in a drafting game. As long as the rest of the game isn’t too similar to Sushi Go, then you’ll be fine.
