Jay2a Five complete at this game

[@zipy9966]

@@dirteemartini_art 6 can play at this game

[@natebit8130]

Zipy “Seven can play at that game”

[@MichaelHaneline]

@@TheRealROBOHead no, that's way too many at one table. I mean, it's not impossible, but it's definitely not ideal.

[@frameturtle]

@@TheRealROBOHead that's sounds like a very tedious game of D&D

[@Medsas]

aeons end is one of the finest coop deckbuilding experience out there

[@light18pl]

Agreed! But if I were to pick one box, I would have chosen The New Age. They've made a new mode that makes the game even better!

[@BeingFriends]

That’s true!!! it’s so freaking good. Shadowrun Crossfire is a close second though 👌🏻

[@Brione30]

But how many can play at that game?

[@nezbitnezbit5397]

4

[@ITS-DRON]

I was a playtester for this game! Really love how it came out.

[@AtticusSP]

Aeons end is pretty great. Just remember, friends don't let friends play Quilius.

[@bengrace8808]

A friend got this for Christmas- loved it. They apparently didn't read the instructions very well, because we've been shuffling player decks the whole time; should be cool to try it with that element of planning added in.

[@FinalFina]

I've been Kickstarting Aeon's End and its expansions + Adventure campaigns since the beginning. I've gotten tons of game time out of it and have been able to show it to so many people. The worst part is having to re-teach this game over and over. I may have to use the first half of this video as an introduction to future players. It goes over things pretty dang well. I cannot recommend this game enough to people. It has so much variety and the bosses are fucking HARD. Can't wait for more in the new kickstarter thats up!

[@robbiejobbie4302]

It's nice to see people talk about something they are genuinely in love with

[@Yiroep4]

I love this game! I own all the big boxes. It's best with 2, but pretty good with 4 as well. One of the best 2 player co-op games.

[@SunroseStudios]

ooooh, a *cooperative* deck builder. heck yeah

[@MichaelHaneline]

If you're interested in cooperative deck builders, I also recommend Battle for Greyport!

[@Yiroep4]

Mage Knight is a co-op deckbuilder as well. Best with 1 or 2 players though, and just be aware Mage Knight is very complex. Totally fun though.

[@BeingFriends]

Yiroep4 Yes. Aeons end is sooo good! I love it so much. And Mage Knight is my #1 game of all time. Note that it’s much less of a deck building game than aeons end! Deck building is just an element of the game. And also it can be played competitive, solo, and cooperative, depending on the scenario and what you want to do. But both games are insanely good.

[@earthbind83]

Harry Potter Battle of Hogwarts is another coop deckbuilder, but a lot easier than Aeon's End, so it's a nice relaxing game for the more casual gamers. Gloomhaven is another one, but that one has way too much stuff written on the players' cards. But I love the concept that your time is limited by your deck size getting smaller and smaller until you can't do anything anymore.

[@aceattorney3999]

So you inspired me to get this game Now I need the good stuff: What other expansions do you recommend???

[@ProZD]

if you're like me, who's obsessed, you'll get everything. but otherwise, i just played one of the new big box sets, The New Age, which adds a really fun expedition system that can let you make mini-campaigns where between encounters, you get treasure upgrades for your characters. Aeon's End: Legacy is also a really fun full campaign with permanent upgrading of your characters

[@TenseiDragon]

I'll follow that up. As someone who has ONLY played The New Age, it is a good game to either start with or as your first expansion. Expeditions do make it feel like you are progressing, and you can implement it into any version of the game. It also has a wide variety of mechanics among the gems/spells/relics, as well as the player characters and nemeses.

[@BlueDi93]

@@TenseiDragon get AE Outcasts now on Kickstarter!

[@aceattorney3999]

Well I got the Base game yesterday. Played 1 round. Ordered War Eternal and Into the Depths. I see what you meant now

[@earthbind83]

@@ProZD I got everything as well, and since Legacy has markers you glue on cards of that set I instead scanned and printed all of those components so that I could play it more than once without buying a reset pack, and I sleeved all the cards so I could put the markers inside the sleeves. It was quite the effort, but worth it. I also decided to replace Legacy's four nameless breach mages with pictures of characters from other franchises like Darkwing Duck, Korra or Kungfu Panda just for the lolz. You gotta try playing that campaign with Bradicus and Chadicus once. ;-)

[@tedchevalier]

Really considering picking this up after the way you describe it. A side note: your beginner board game video got me into the hobby! It would be super fun to see you do let's play videos.

[@earthbind83]

Thanks for doing this review! Love to hear that you enjoy the game as much as I do! I think it's noticeable that the author must know a thing or two about balancing due to him being the former Starcraft 2 pro gamer "qxc" (not to be confused with xQc who is known for scandals). 6:25 I see you eventually noticed that Mist's breaches 3 and 4 were in the wrong order, and it's interesting to see them going back and forth afterwards due to the cutting. XD 17:04 Ulgimor is not the one looking distressed here. ;-) Ulgimor is the purple shadow beast in the background. The fat dude is named Ohat and he's a coward who is at the frontlines against his will because his shadow came alive and insists on fighting for Gravehold. Also his healing charge ability makes more sense when you also know his signature card where he gains 3 Aether, a charge and suffers 2 damage everytime he plays it, so Ulgimor is basically sucking the life out of Ohat and then later dumps it back on him, rinse and repeat. It's super useful because he has a much easier time getting hands with more than 5 Aether than most other mages. I generally wish ProZD had shown all the signature cards and not just the charge abilities. Especially Mazahaetron who can buy cards to give to other players. 17:35 Quilius is a she and she has TWO cards that let you get trophy tokens. Also if you want to see her full potential, check this 7 second video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHeolp2rp6ebhbM (or go to the official Discord to find out how to balance her)

[@josegodoy8461]

Greetings! Came here from the Dice Tower after your chat with Roy. I played Aeons end Legacy with my dad and we had a blast! Keep on gaming!

[@jud6ment]

This is a great game. Best two player game i know and fantastic with 4 as well

[@BMR3]

Can we get a follow up to how many people can play this??

[@dirteemartini_art]

🔴your voices are amazing to me. I’m trying to learn how to harness my impressions better! thanks for having the balls to put up all your content. I really appreciate that man. Big inspiration

[@TheJoker-qo4fg]

When are the next skits coming? We need “Hero quest: the return of king dragon”

[@kokorochacarero8003]

Hey I just wanted to thank you My "youtube stories" section is now full of you and there is almost no space left for the usual garbage youtube throws at me on a dialy basis Thank you, keep it up

[@vizthex]

the lack of shuffling kind of bothers me, but it does look pretty involved otherwise.

[@MirkoRogg]

Tough question: if Aeon's End is the best game of it's kind (and I believe that to be true), what are ranks 2 and 3? What could I buy next?

[@TweakCity]

Beautiful

[@sociallyinept2869]

There will be no luncheon today.

[@Medsas]

ProzD, I want to see you play a heavier recent euro board game, how about Maracaibo which just go released?

[@lycheefruit]

[@yurikovRUKR762]

[@BeingFriends]

Who all is backing the kickstarter for the newest standalone expansion???

[@LPNeogetz]

I really want to enjoy this game but my friend group just can't get the hang of it and we die horrifically every time.

[@yumxko4489]

I saw you in anime awards!

[@ActionGal]

*_how many can play at that game?_*

[@Tronnus]

Say can you review one day that awful looking card game that Chris Chan made up, "Twilight Sparkle's Secret Shipfic Folder"? Would make for a really entertaining video IMHO! :D

[@BumblyBear]

What song is playing...? Also the cards are really pretty.

[@massivelegend5209]

Where you joe in the anime crimes division

[@sirpancreas796]

You should do a review of Scythe or Root. Two amazing games that I would love to hear you opinion on.

[@hamstersdailylife4938]

Hello ProZD. Do you still happen to be doing ramen reviews? I have this spicy ramen I want you to try out. I can buy it and send it to you if it’s possible. I’d love to hear your opinions for it!

[@XplosvChknBrstsFTW]

I know this is off topic of the video but I'm an aspiring voice actor and I've practiced many voices thanks to your help! I wanted to know how to get my foot in the door to become one and so far ive had 0 luck getting to know where to even start past the prepping of submitting my work.....can you please offer some advice on how and where to go to get into this field of work? Love you, your videos and Archibald. ❤❤
