Board Game Reviews Ep #21: CTHULHU REALMS

[@Channel9Productions]

"You're trying to take down your opponent's sanity points" This sounds like it'll be a good game.

[@Valtharr]

I haven't played Star Realms, I got Cthulhu Realms mainly due to the theme. The symbols and slightly higher complexity aren't that much of an issue for me. I think I should also mention that both this and Star Realms have free app versions on Steam and Android (not sure about iPhone, but I think it's on there, too?), so you can try them out before you buy.

[@ProZD]

yeah, i'm not saying it ruins the game or anything, but i'm not a diehard cthulhu fan and i prefer simplicity. star realms on steam is fun (although the AI's kind of an asshole)

[@ericabrown3662]

It's been such a long time since you've done a Lackadaisy dub. Yours were the best and are dearly missed!

[@miunone09]

So, about the symbols... I live in Mexico, which means that getting games in Spanish is way more expensive than getting them in English (since they’re printed in Spain). So I do appreciate there not being any necessary text in-game. Maybe that’s what they were aiming for? A more international market? They could have made them less obtuse, that’s true.

[@coffeedudeable]

You actually played pnatonik artifact wrong. Its symbol means that you draw a card and then you discard a card. Also there is a free mobile game that would help you learn the game better. Its very well made

[@bluskye7899]

Have you ever tried Eldritch Horror? It's like a tabletop.

[@jimmykeffer7401]

Funnily enough, I actually like the stupid cards for star realms. They are a worse and more convoluted system but I love flipping them over and doing all the numbers. TBH for both of these games it's better just to use a digital scorekeeper. Tl;dr, I have a star realms HP fetish but just use a calculator.

[@ProZD]

i can kiiiinda see where you're coming from, but nah man, it's so goofy. such a bizarre way of keeping score

[@skelly3097]

Accidentally clicked on this in my sub feed & watched the whole thing

[@barracuda0405]

Munchkin and King of Tokyo 😍😍Still the best boardgames

[@dayalasingh5853]

I've only played the ladder but it's so good. Think I like King of new York more though.

[@BrJPGameplay]

I know is too much of a hassle, but can you make a video someday playing the games? It would be cool, but if you don't do it, I understand

[@slumpt420]

Since nobody will see this in about an hour... ProZD is my dad!

[@Clide0_0]

moase doubt it

[@dayalasingh5853]

No

[@cristianolvera6770]

Are you monetized I don't get ads

[@vizthex]

the cutsey artstyle kind of detracts from the point of Lovecraft tbh

[@mbtgamer3211]

Prozd is the best

[@patatastudios766]

Do you play triple a games or just jrpgs pokemon and stuff like that? I would love to know wich games you like

[@RandomLawlClips1337]

ProZD you should review The Thing: Infection at Outpost 31 Board game. Think you would enjoy it

[@heyimsasa]

i lost you so many times at 5:07, i had to backtrack 3 times LOL. it seems dizzying to learn @_@ but it also seems like it has its moments.

[@ProZD]

it can get a little overwhelming as cards trigger other cards, it doesn't help that the symbols are kinda obtuse

[@kingprimeKANG]

This whole game went over my head, you should play this game with someone else to show us how it's done

[@livingdeadmeme3494]

SYMBOLS!

[@sleepii9680]

I know he wants to show *hentai* cards, but this video would get demonetize :/

[@ilostmypie]

FUCK ANIME 2 BOMBS WASNT ENOUGH

[@sleepii9680]

Nelson Mandela say waaa

[@yankee12312]

Are you having pocky withdrawal?

[@dece4547]

your voice is liquid sugar

[@thetopgecko3765]

So pokeymon but less compcalated

[@TheJormustus]

Star realms

[@DarthSironos]

I totally agree, just use text, having to memorize shit tons of symbols for each game is just bad. I would have bought this game if it wasn't for that symbol crap. TEXT people.

[@rohankrishnan1224]

isn’t that a scooby doo villain

[@Valtharr]

Cthulhu was first mentioned in the 1926 short story "The Call of Cthulhu" by H. P. Lovecraft and has been referenced countless times by other media since then (alongside Lovecraft's other work in the so-called "Cthulhu Mythos")

[@Valtharr]

[@floweylol.5883]

[@chrisklein9625]

ay early bois

[@Poisonjam7]

Cool concept, but I hate the artwork. It’s very penny arcade.

[@jing713]

Gotta disagree, the symbols are actually great and very easy to learn. They are simple and easy to understand at a glance.

With all due respect, this is your channel and you can do whatever you want with it. But is this going to be a boardgames channel now? You can do what you want with YOUR channel, and share your interests. But we are reaching testing ramen numbers here. So I am just curious.

[@yyeahsure]

>when you voice your criticism with a youtube channel you enjoy to help the content creator better cater to his audience and immediately get pegged as a shitlord by Alvarado9660 sorry dude your opinion doesn't matter even if it's just a genuine complaint with the channels content fuck yourself lol

[@Figs3]

I guess you guys are right I wasn't necessarily thinking about what he himself wants. I will continue to be subscribed and have on notifications. I suppose I was curious where this channel was going. But you both have given me something to think about, at least in how I phrase things in the future. So for that I tip my hat good sirs.
