Arctic Scavengers Review - with Zee Garcia

[@pishva3008]

at 7:00 you couldn't give the shovel to the scout because the scout didn't have a dig ability to begin with. If she had one even a zero then you could attach it to her.

[@ZeeGarc]

Yep, you are right, of course. Minor error because I'm trying to explain as quickly as possible.

[@aliasadi7099]

But you can fight. Not worth it but not impossible

Been in my collection since it came out in the uk about a year ago. Awesome game! I thought you might like this Zee as it is similar thematically to the Neuroshima universe.

[@Gyrogyro]

Hey Zee, do you think Arctic Scavengers would make it on your top 10 deckbuilders list now? If so, how high do you think you'd rank it? I just watched that video and was pretty surprised to not see any mention of the game haha.

[@bbblackwell]

But but but... how about the solo rules? How do they change the game? Are they any good?

[@Gyrogyro]

They're... honestly not that great. I played it once and don't have much interest in playing it again. You basically make 7 stacks of contested cards in startup and "fight" them in a skirmish. If you win, you get a random card from that stack and the rest go away. If you lose, the whole stack goes away. Your VP count after clearing the 7th stack is your score for the game. But you don't HAVE to fight them, so there's not much stopping you from just digging and hunting forever to make a monstrous deck, then attacking all the stacks. I really like this game, it's one of my top deck building games of all time, but I would not play it as a solo game.

[@bbblackwell]

Gyrogyro Thank you! I think the game looks great, with a very rare and enticing theme. I'm going to have to find someone to play it with, and then fiddle around to see if I can come up with another way to play solo. If not, then not, but I can still shuffle the cards and look at the pictures.

@@bbblackwell There's a good alternative solo mode put forth by someone on youtube kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3Wmoqyvod2FraM

[@bbblackwell]

@@trojan403 Awesome, thank you. I made up my own, but they’re a work in progress so I’ll check it out!

[@trojan403]

@@bbblackwell Cheers, no worries. I've opened my brand new copy of the game but have yet to have a game yet :) Looking forward to it

[@LoftOfTheUniverse]

how many stacks of buyable characters can you have maximum?

[@WanderingKumquat]

ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[@Lugo428]

No limit.

[@natelinhart114]

My friend recommended it to me. But I trust Zee's judgement way more than his. So time to try it.

[@bbblackwell]

Hahaha, you didn't have to go there, but it's nice to have someone second the motion!

[@TheOldMan-75]

Hopefully this will finally make it to Germany. English cards are a huge turn off for some in my group even if there's as little text as in Arctic Scavengers.

[@pesticyde5492]

I know years have passed but I got the german version today, I think Its great, the only let down was that Inlay, the cards didnt fit in there correctly when sleeved, the Box didnt close anymore as Well so i had to get rid of that Inlay. Oh and its a shame they scratched the cannibal Leader. I Liked that Idea. No clue why they did that. Otherwise the game is perfect i think.

[@TheOldMan-75]

@@pesticyde5492 I have the German version by now as well :) and yes, it's sad the cannibal is gone. Guess the German publisher didn't want to include that one. Not a big loss but still a bit weird. You could print out the cannibal leader and sleeve the cards. Anyway, hope you're having fun with the game :)

[@pesticyde5492]

@@TheOldMan-75 was thinking about that too, even more because there is an empty card in there anyways. No not a big loss at all, i am just not a fan of censorship :) Thanks for the reply, best wishes
