Ahoy Review! Everything you need to know (Sea Shanties included)

[@nitrorev]

Congrats on the channel sponsor dude!!! Super pumped for Ahoy to hit retail.

[@LordoftheBoard]

You and me both! and thank you so much!

[@FranciscoConradoKaefe]

I love finding out about new content creators in our community. Loved your pick for best game of the year. 🐺

[@chalex]

Yesss been waiting for a good video for Ahoy! Glad to have learned about your channel through Tim Chuon! Excited for more vids. Happy new year! 🐺

[@kieranberry]

Definitely going to pick this up when its available. Love Root, Love vast, and this looks great! Hopefully down the line someone makes a solo Mode!

[@LordoftheBoard]

Oo that would be cool 😎

[@GKEK]

This is my first visit to your channel. This rules explanation was really clear and I will definitely tune in for future content. Haven't played John Company but maybe I will now! 🐺

[@pranski]

Got introduced by Tim and so happy to watch this video. Adding this one on my wishlist. More than the in-depth review, I appreciate the quality of cinematography, music, editing that is put into. Keep doing and inspiring! 🐺

[@readergeek]

🐺 Hi Sam! It's great to find more content creators like you in the hobby! Good lord there's so many strategy guides to explore in this channel! Looking forward to watching more of your content in 2023 and beyond! Happy Holidays! Ahoy is such a beautiful game. I've been a fan of Leder Games' aesthetic and this game continues with the same tradition.

[@LordoftheBoard]

Thank you so much!!! 🔥 I try to cover more games at the moment I cover few but I go really deep in those few! Hopefully you enjoy!

[@wintakoyaki]

Thanks for making these easy to understand videos to help the community learn new games and strategies. Without creators like you, learning new games and knowing about new games like Ahoy would be such an impossible and tedious task. Thank you for all your time and effort in all your videos 🐺

[@LordoftheBoard]

I appreciate this so much :)

[@timothystanciu5117]

My wife has been subscribed to the channel for quite some time now. Thank you for providing information, education and entertainment in our household! Our board game collection is top tier because of you! 😄🐺

[@nathaindotson5680]

🐺Hey sam, I've been watching your videos for about a year now and I have learned so much from you. I got into villainous last year with almost no knowledge and looked up a guide for it and you happen to be at the top and I watched every single one of them and helped me pull out wins I never thought about. You got me into one of my all time favorite games root I was terrified to bring it to my table with my friends and they love it and beg me to bring it everytime, your strategy guide have helped me bring light into all the classes and playthroughs helped me understand the rules in ways I feel the law of root doesn't. You helped me also become a better WA player one of my favorite factions. I hope you can get bring great videos and content for us all to watch and enjoy I hope you having a great day and had a nice cup of coffee. Cheers!

[@ColonelKurtz]

The one thing I love about board gaming is the community- designers, content creators, and gamers themselves! I guess it kind of makes sense because board gaming is all about bringing people together to the table. Yes, admittedly, Tim Chuon brought me here, but I'm sincerely looking forward to checking out all the rest of your content. 🐺

[@soulraise]

I mean, we all know that Leder games are great and all, but your in-depth coverage on their games is the frosting on top! *chef's kiss* 🐺

[@LordoftheBoard]

Thank you so much! 😭 I def don’t do many reviews but I’m very proud of each that I have done

[@mr_boom105]

loved seeing you in the collab on Tim Chuons channel! all of my favorite content creators all in the same video was great to see, I could tell everyone had a great time!

[@LordoftheBoard]

So happy to hear you enjoyed it :) it was a blast

[@jeisenmann1]

🐺 I just entered the board game world almost 2 years ago now and LOVE what it does for my family. It brings us together with interaction, cooperation, competition, and laughter! 🐺 Thx for creating amazing content like this!! Excited to see what's next for the hobby!! 🐺

[@jputt927]

One of my favorite aspects of this hobby is getting introduced to new passionate content creators that open my eyes to new games I wouldn’t have otherwise paid attention to. Thanks for putting John Company on my radar! 🐺

[@GatewayGamingOfficial]

Have recently gotten into the board game space. Catan was my gateway game. I am completely hooked. This community is amazing. I love seeing it bring people together. I never have so much fun as I do playing games with friends. So thank you to creators like you for inspiring the next generation. Love your content. Can't wait to see whats to come. 🐺

[@survivorhyland4416]

I love seeing people collaborate and come together in the board game space. It's always great when I find new creators because everyone brings their own special something to the table. 🐺

[@markbeaulieu411]

Ahoy looks fun. I’ve used your channel to learn Root when I first got back into tabletop board games after a long time away (didn’t have a local group). Digital Root and your videos got me to play friends online and then the guts to attend a local group. Best decision I made. 🐺 I’ve sent friends to your videos to learn Root. Oath seemed too much for my group but Ahoy, Fort, and Vast look like they’d be good for my group. Thanks for the hard work

[@ABG8090]

🐺 came here for an award, stayed for the content. I'm surprised I didn't happen upon your channel earlier. Thank you for your content.

[@twozsinapod]

Glad I stumbled upon your channel this year and enjoy the content you make! I'm not always into combat games, but the art and use of dice in Ahoy is interesting. 🐺

[@LordoftheBoard]

I’m so happy you made your way here! Hopefully you find some content you enjoy coming up :)

[@michaelgregg9700]

Another new subscriber here! The stars seem aligned for this due to finding you through the 🐺, but also watching the SUSD AWSHUX panel featuring Rodney Smith where he highlights Lord of the Board. Nice review here too! Looking forward to seeing more in the future.

[@LordoftheBoard]

Glad you found your way!!! :)

[@grizzzzlies7208]

My son and I already watched a ton of your Root guides, Ahoy looks like more Leder fun for sure. Great to see you on the Fire and Ice awards. Subscribed! 🐺

[@3DOW3]

🐺 leder games has been killing it this past year for me. First root then fort, now ahoy ❤️

[@justingreer6849]

Was just introduced to your channel in the Game of the Year video on Tim Chuon's channel. I'm always looking for quality content creators for board games, and I'm excited to have discovered another one! Looking forward watching more of your videos! 🐺

[@tattiman123]

Been a fan for a long time , glad your channel is seeing all the success that it is! Keep up the content and wishing all the best in 2023! Great pick for game of the year btw 🐺

[@LordoftheBoard]

Thank you so much :)

[@loveyworm]

🐺 I’m grateful to have learned about your channel from the Fire & Ice Awards - you have such good energy! Not only that, but I’m a big fan of Leder Games so your content (incl this video!) is fantastic. I’ve been playing Root on Steam to keep in touch with friends from afar 😁 Keep up the good vibes! 🐺

[@Geeky_Anja]

I'm a sucker for nice components, especially double layered boards. I also like the artwork but still on the fence about this one for some reason. Thanks for the video! 🐺

[@picklebuckeye]

I love the artwork on this game, it just fits so well with the theme, imo. And great to see you on Tim’s award show! 🐺

[@thomasmorin7504]

🐺 learned about you from the fire and Ice video!! What a video!! After watching your videos I am more than happy to subcribe!!! Keep up the great work!

[@LordoftheBoard]

I appreciate this so much! 👍🏽 hope you find content you enjoy here :)

[@luispena8883]

I found you by the root strategy guides! Love it! Now i have some idea of what to do in the forest! The fire awards were great, amaizing video and amaizing group! Looking forward for more videos 🐺

[@juanesbarreto]

a great proposal from the creators of root! that's so cool! Thank you for the review came here direct from the awards🐺

[@maggieotter793]

🐺 Found you through the awards show and recently picked up Ahoy and really looking forward to getting it to the table after watching! Going to suggest the video to my friends so they can learn so we will be ready to play

[@rmclean101]

This looks great, thank you! 🐺

[@dreyhepfer6057]

New to your channel, but loving the content so far! I saw Ahoy in stores just a couple days ago and had me intrigued… thanks for the great and thorough review! 🐺

[@EmmaNovaheim]

🐺 Found this channel through the awards show, and I'm so excited to be able to see more! This is such a great community, and it's been so awesome to see all the support for each other. 😊

[@matthewrichardson1805]

Discovered you fortuitously through the crossover with NRB but so glad I did! Fresh and vivid BG content that I love 🐺

[@alexandraducharme1709]

🐺 Congrats on the channel and on the Award Show! Very nice, hope to see it again next year!

[@Axel_Vrarimor]

Hello! I just learned about you from Tim's video where you showcased John's Company, you did an amazing summary of that mind-blowing game, so now I'm herr, getting to know you more and hoping to win a copy of your favorite game of 2022. 🐺

[@jeremyellis2103]

I really enjoyed the Fire&Ice Awards and your description of John Company was fantastic. I look forward to diving into more of your content 🐺

[@morrowcody]

Just picked this up this weekend, it is a great game! It took some time to get used to the play loop but did we ever have fun once we figured it out. Great video!

[@xxhawkdancerxx]

🐺 so glad I found this channel through the fire & ice awards!! Immediately subbed :) found your other video on not backing kickstarters as much anymore too, and def resonated with that one! I’ve always been intimidated by Root, so AHOY! feels like it might be a more approachable entry point to Leder games!!

[@chadsamuelson1808]

I love the tips and strategy that you give in this channel and it’s helped a lot with my board game group! So thank you!! 🐺

[@Teeps12]

Excited to continue seeing more Wehrle+Leder Games content on your channel, congrats on the sponsorship! 🐺

[@kayakandskibum1706]

Thanks for this! I still haven’t played a Leder game but every time I watch something I get even more tempted🐺

[@jeffreyfagan4085]

Just found your channel. Interested in diving in. Great review, more great Leder game content. 🐺

[@JujuAllsorts]

Love finding new great channels to enjoy through the Fire & Ice awards ceremony. Already adding so many games to my wish list, might have to look into Ahoy now, too! 🐺

[@LordoftheBoard]

Thank you so much for checking the channel out! Hopefully you find more games you enjoy :)

[@pat2695]

🐺 So glad that Tim made a video so we all get to now so many new content creators in the Boardgame community! And after watching some videos on your channel Im happy to subscribe and wait for your next video 🐺

[@LordoftheBoard]

Appreciate you :) thanks for watching!

[@Jsleezy_2000]

So glad to get introduced to your content. Awesome to see so many board game content creators together! 🐺

[@MonkeyPlaysPH]

This kind of videos help me to understand the game more. And also as a new content creator this kind of videos gives me and new ideas and learn how other people do a review, how to play and other thing that help us understand the hobby. 🐺

[@laceydavidson5272]

This is so fun! You all help me find so many new games. I had no idea this many games existed in the world a few years ago! 🐺

[@namronlouieherrera6547]

Great content! Glad to see you partnering with other creators like Tim. Keep it up and more power to your channel! 🐺

[@wendydiz]

I was surprised to watch the fire and ice video and realize that I had just watched your strategy guide for merchants cove the day before. It was super helpful for playing the alchemist. Thanks! 🐺

[@LordoftheBoard]

Glad I could help!

[@bettermoodboardgames]

🐺 Bro you always represent board games well! I love your videos, been subscribing for awhile. Appreciate all the hard work you do as a creator and for every publisher/designer/artist you promote and support!

[@hua-hsintai8881]

[@Stutzkraft]

Thanks for your content! I always appreciate the diligence you put in your editing sound mixing 👍👍 🐺

[@LordoftheBoard]

I appreciate this comment so much!

[@robmangham4930]

LOTB! Have loved your Root content, I share your passion for the game and am always hoping to run into you on the virtual port! Wondering if Ahoy! Or crescent moon would be a necessary addition to the collection. Enjoyed the collab vid and I love having your trusted voice in the mix. 🐺

[@jakedavis8776]

Yoooo!! I love Leder games. Can’t wait to try this one. Nice work. Very well shot and produced 🐺

[@angieturner8687]

🐺 Discovered your channel from watching Foster the Meeple and Tim Chuon. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.

[@axétério]

🐺 Thank you for sharing info on your Fire Ice GOTY for John’s Company. Hadn’t heard of it yet and will be looking for it now all due to you and Tim; great work 🐺

[@billkennedy1410]

I had never heard of this game. Thank you for the introduction to it. I love Leder Games. 🐺

[@LordoftheBoard]

Glad to introduce! 👍🏽

[@ameritrashtalk36]

You are so thoughtful when you talk about games! Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🐺

[@mosiah.torres]

🐺 awesome content and production! I loved your shout-out at the end to your wife. It touched me because my wife is a big supporter of this hobby of mine too, despite herself not being super into games herself. Subbed! Hope it's a great year for you 🐺😊 sending kudos from the UK

[@MrRudyRiot]

Ahoy looks like a lot of fun and I’ve really enjoyed the output from Leder Games. Thanks for the overview (and shanty) 🐺

[@MalikAlghani]

Just watched the video on Tim's channel, i just discovered you from there haha super excited to watch your strategy videos

[@LordoftheBoard]

Thank you so much for checking the channel out :) hopefully you find things you enjoy!

[@MalikAlghani]

@@LordoftheBoard well 2 of my fav board games ever which is unmatched and dune imperium already have their own playlist, so im definitely going to enjoy this!! Hahaha

[@LordoftheBoard]

@@MalikAlghani let’s goooo

[@nataliejohn4243]

Loved seeing you in Tim’s video! That was so much fun 🐺

[@alexxcisotto8525]

🐺 This is the second time in two days I’ve heard someone talk about this game. Definitely have to check it out. And I love the little boats. Was great seeing you on the award video!

[@pedrohdz6775]

Great video!! I have a question, sharks are too powerful or I'm just really bad playing the mollusk union?

[@LordoftheBoard]

It really depends! I have seen games go both ways. Sharks are easier than mollusk though for sure

[@monsterbite1011]

🐺Great Video! Loved the collaboration in the Award show and awesome game pick!

[@jomorazero]

Congrats on the surprise giveaway! Huge fan of your Root videos as its my fav game of all time!

[@LordoftheBoard]

It’s mine tooo :) such a good one!

[@hanaaiyuri]

Subscribed to your channel watching your villainous guide! Ahoy looks interesting! 🐺

[@LordoftheBoard]

Thank you so much!!! Glad to hear I helped in some way!

[@tina9422]

Just watched the awards video, great idea, really enjoyed it :) Hope there are more joined videos they are very cool

[@lindsayredding8095]

Awesome collab by a bunch of great content creators. Great to see some of my fav creators and find some new creators 🐺

[@elmoninja1000]

Definitely had the most unique top game of anyone, I am a pretty shallow gamer and tend to skip over "boring" art, excited to give this one a chance as a departure from my normal! 🐺🐺

[@LordoftheBoard]

So glad you are going to try something new :) hope you enjoy!

[@gwengammon4200]

🐺 so happy to have found your channel! Looking forward to checking it out more!

[@oliviagabbay]

Ahoy was one of my favorite games of 2022. Amazing overview, really does this game justice. 🐺

[@benjaminhargreaves4545]

Does the smuggler at scoring at the end on pledges gain the fame of the regions? As in they pledged on a sharks winning the skull regions, and it’s worth 4 fame. Do they get 1 or 4 fame from it?

[@Obscuredness]

Happy new year! Ahoy is looking great and who doesn't love sea shanties. Can't wait to see it in stores.🐺

[@artfuldodgr42]

🐺 Super awesome content! I love the way you edit and tie together these game overviews. Looking forward to more good stuff in 2023!

[@LordoftheBoard]

Lots more to come! Thanks for visiting and hope you stick around for what I have in store :)

[@corsa180]

Been seeing more and more about Ahoy, I think I'm going to have to check it out!

[@LordoftheBoard]

I def recommend it :)

[@JM-pl3of]

Do I want a 60 minute Sam Sea Shanties Sing-a-Long video now? Yes. Yes I do.

[@spiceandjoy]

Ahoy is the only game I have not played yet from Leder games! It's awesome that you covered this! 🐺👍 I do wish they went with hex tiles haha

[@buckne35]

Thank you for your awesome content. Found you with your Dune Imperium coverage and never left 🐺

[@jonasjuul4508]

🐺 Loved hearing about your nomination on the award show. Looking forward to seeing more from your channel 😀

[@janny055]

That was such a great Award show! It was so cool to see all of you guys come together and celebrate great board games. I learned so much and there are some new games on my wish list now🐺

[@middleclassjoe]

🐺 Was awesome seeing you present your GotY on the Fire and Ice awards. Keep making the great content! Otherwise I’ll have to figure these games out by myself. 😂

[@Kriker9]

Those shanties are unironically awesome, great work man!

[@LordoftheBoard]

Thank you :) glad you enjoyed!

[@Victoriancottage1899]

🐺 I am new to board gaming your channel is helping me to figure out which games are ones that I want to invest in....I am intrigued by Ahoy.

[@verom.3548]

Loving the art from Kyle Ferrin. This game is a better fit for our group vs Root. Keep up making great content!🐺

[@jean-christophecote9278]

How big are the flagship meeples? Would you say they are as big as Root's meeples or more like the pawns in Oath? Thanks for an awesome review btw! I'll be sure to use your affiliate link!

[@LordoftheBoard]

Thickness of the root Meeples but closer to the height of oath Meeples :) except the smugglers I think they are closer to root Meeples in height. Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it :)

[@foresthayne]

I love that this game is asymmetric and pirate themed! I love all the pirate shipples too! Haha those are great! I didn't expect this game to be a dice allocation game though so that was cool to see! Great job on the channel man! 🐺

[@chaeotic8745]

Love your content, love the Leder Games! Super excited to see you in the Fire and Ice! 🐺

[@missyegelsky6454]

Great job on the Fire and Ice feature! 🐺

[@Agrios211]

I just discovered you! I'm excited to hear you make strategy videos! 🐺

[@LordoftheBoard]

I enjoy it quite a bit :)

[@wyz1324]

🐺 The award show was Awesome! I was already subscribed to your channel :P I can't wait to see what you are going to do this new year 😁

[@justjustinjustinson]

I've never played root but I think I would rather play this version with this awesome pirate theme! Great job on the review! This made me actually put ahoy on my list! Thanks for the awesome content! 🐺

[@nickforlizzi3100]

Another Great Job Sam! Happy Holidays!🐺
