Alubari: A Nice Cup of Tea Review - with Tom Vasel

[@grahamhaslett6943]

Why do you have such a hang up with box covers? I have more of a problem with the back of the box, that's where it should show off the game. There's something to be said for good design, even if it's just a nice fancy font

[@berniesalinas7538]

If you want more trains just take a look at how many come in the snowdonia deluxe

[@greginfla_1]

Good review, Tom

[@Syncopator]

I love the theme. Better than Snowdonia in that regard. Not sure I'm convinced enough to buy it tho, I've got dozens of games I haven't played yet, many of them worker placement. At least I'm not seeing a "feed your people" mechanism, that's a plus in its favor. :-) On the other hand, the idea you need a mechanism to counteract if players decide to stop doing things, doesn't inspire confidence...

[@JosephFlemming]

This seems very similar to Snowdonia. Maybe with a small expansion

[@Freyalder]

Nice touch with the book ends ;)

[@JefferyHunt]

Yeah, you’re going to adore Snowdonia.

[@sapoundjiev]

Will this have any expansions for it? I was going to hunt snowdonia but honestly i really like this one. If it gets any exp like more trains and such i will get it instead donia.

[@simonmounsey4191]

Considering how many expansions and mini expansions came out for Snowdonia, I would find it hard to believe that this is a one and done.

[@bertalancsoban4107]

that part where you pour the game's contents on the table... IT HURTS

[@nguinguingui]

what's the other game based off of Snowdonia? mentions in the 30-40 seconds time.

[@koomo801]

Foothills (it’s very good)

[@nguinguingui]

@@koomo801 thanks! I heard of the game. I didn't know it was by Tony

[@koomo801]

@@nguinguingui It's by Boydell and one of his regular gaming friends. Vasel did a good job I thought describing what makes it different. Good price, easy set up, not a shelf hog...I highly recommend it as a tight 2P worker placement game with minimal "take that". Franz' art looks great, too.

[@pierrewhite2062]

Surprised it wasn't an excellent

[@MCJesse-hu4ru]

This is exactly like snowdonia. It's just exchanged coal for tea. I do, however like the look of this board better than snowdonia.

[@cabalpaxiarch7239]

Wow... when you said it's based on Snowdonia you weren't kidding. This is exactly like Snowdonia. Down to the lazy worker you only get some of the time.

[@jamescartwright1150]

Seems to similar to Snowdonia for me.

[@michaelbudden4799]

James Cartwright Agreed. Was hoping it’d be more different than this. :-(

[@dhc3po]

This started out as a new scenario for Snowdonia, but then grew too complex . So the designer turned it into its own game.

[@jamescartwright1150]

@@dhc3po I've just got all the new scenarios for Snowdonia from the latest Kickstarter so will be sticking with them for a while :)

[@TheBrokenMeeple]

People tried to bait me into playing this game by telling me it was a thematic game about tea after Ceylon fooled me. Thankfully I did my research and found out it was a train game......Not one I want to go near. 😂

[@benfoster6715]

Your channel is not one I want to go near and coincidentally I can't get enough train games 😂

[@TheBrokenMeeple]

@@benfoster6715 Wow keep it civil mate.

[@bb-8droid364]

The Broken Meeple he just repurposed your comment!

[@TeChNoWC7]

Well, it’s not a TRAIN game, if you know what I mean
