Board Game Reviews Ep #82: A FEAST FOR ODIN

[@ProZD]

correction: this game was actually sent to me by Asmodee (although Z-Man is the publisher), i've edited the description accordingly

[@BoardInTheHouseBGAplayer]

eh... Asmodee... Z-man same thing

[@benkemp2179]

"You can play a short game, which is six rounds, or a long game, which is seven." Well that doesn't sound so bad... "Each round has 12 phases." What is this, engineering homework?!

[@DangleberriesJohnson]

I literally paused the video at that same moment and thought, "hmm, do i want to learn this?"

[@RoryStarr]

I said "12 phases!?" out loud to myself and didn't absorb the next minute of the video. Is there such a thing as a game editor? I feel like game makers need one sometimes

[@vizthex]

for real, lol

[@Hope-fr7xp]

For some reason he feels so wholesome to me, not just watching back at his skits but also watching him try things now. Though it may not be all that popular I find it fun. Don’t give up on what you love

[@mrbastos]

I've always wanted to play this one. It looks so intimidating, but sounds interesting as well.

[@zeke2388]

Seems like a fun game that would be hard to get people to play. Personally I really like these board games that look sort of complex but have a good pay off.

[@OhSoTiredMan]

I would like to play it with friends but they aren't the type who would want to try

[@zeke2388]

@@OhSoTiredMan maybe there are some communities is your area? Once quarantine is over just ask around you'll find someone. I know alot of people say that that's stupid, asking around for people to play boardgames but it you do really want to play what other option do you have?

ProZD: Makes video "When your opponent won't finish you off in a card game." Z-Man Games: "Have we got a game for you!"

[@BrandonGraham]

I'm impressed that you did a full teach for this instead of glossing over some stuff.

[@fugitiveunknown7806]

Viking Tetris Semi-Solitaire Eurosalad. It's pretty good.

[@bobbycorwen]

I LOVE this game, but mannnn is it a chore to get people to play with you. It's overwhelming to just introduce to people because of how much there is to this game. EDIT: I love how you simplified the explanation of how this game plays though! I'm definitely going to use that to ensure people it's worth their time to play :)

[@yoyoiven]

When I played this, it took the person introducing me (albeit a very slow teacher) 1.5 hours to explain the rules

[@bobbycorwen]

@@yoyoiven haha yeah... that sounds about right. I think the more you teach new players, the faster you get at it each time

[@rinkashikachi]

@@yoyoiven Scythe also takes that much time for some reason, but once ppl get it, they always dont understand how it took them so long

[@drwzytft]

Bobby Corwen By friend group of 5 have exclusively only played Concordia and Catan and they are our first board games. Would we like this one?

[@yoyoiven]

@@drwzytft I would STRONGLY recommend Dominion and Le Havre

[@striderhiryu7634]

Sheep and cattle... so there's a "cheese tasting stage" ? O_O

[@judyshimada1395]

I am mooing infinite!!!

[@Mythkos]

Explaining this game reminds me of the video where ProZD creates the cheese empire in Magic The Gathering...

[@KoPT01]

Four can play at that game.

[@tomtom2142]

It’s kinda sad that everyone I know doesn’t play board games anymore 😢

[@zeke2388]

@@DavDuks how is he incorrect? He said that no one he knows plays it any more.

[@peeron6829]

@ThatApexKid lol i think u are the fastest comment deleter on yt what did he sayyyy

[@minineji3632]

@@peeron6829 probably that "not everyone doesn't play board games", if you read the previous replies it makes sense that he said something like that

[@thenerdbyrd7026]

I feel you my guy. When I finally convince people, they ways have fun bc I k ow the game for them, but it is SO hard to get people to actually play with you.

[@zeke2388]

Apex guy said something about getting people to play board games with him I don't really remember. All I remember is that he said something stupid that went against what the original commenter said.

[@alanmichaeldill]

Yes! This is my all time favorite game!

[@gyokuro]

Thanks for bringing joy to my ears

[@dotroy7033]

Me: No idea what this board games are Also me: Loves it

[@arksecret]

I like this guy's voice. He should do the voicelines for borderlands or something

[@safety4060]

Lol I see what u did their O_O

You made this seem not as overwhelming as it looked 👍🏻 I’ve gotta play this one day

[@toryniemann5124]

This is one of my favorites. A real meal of a game.

I’d love one of these reviews to just be played straight until he revealed it was actually his own design. Would be hype af

[@besnardowski5912]

The legend is back

[@Medsas]

Affo is a great game, Uwe is the master

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

You are ProZD! Son of Odin, God of thunder and board games, who commands the lightning and the vikings!

[@Skycroft1000]

The expansion actually fixes a lot of the problems with this game, including problems you may not realize the game has - it gives you options to turn occupation cards into straight points if their bonus doesn't work out for you, makes animals much more viable, and really tightens up the game for fewer players which has the knock on effect of making some overpowered strategies at lower player counts not anymore. It transforms a good game into my single favorite board game, and I highly recommend it even if you haven't mastered with or are bored with the base game, unlike most expansion.

[@7even9ine73]

love it that youre promoting board games

[@thenerdbyrd7026]

Without a doubt you MUST review dice throne. It is without a doubt the best. Boardgame I have ever played. If you play magic (which I do) you will love dice throne.

[@pheadland27]

I'm gonna need a Raspy Knifemans Boardgame Review to find out how many people can play at this game.

[@closeben]

Damn I played this once with myself and then once with some friends who have played Caverna before. Tbh it was a little overwhelming and in the end I didn’t feel that satisfied with the play through, but your words have encouraged me to try again.... now I just need to find someone who would want to play...

[@oneshankyboi]

So, update on the fanart. I’ve gotten the rough sketch done, all I need to do is outline and color it. It’s turning out great so far, hope you’ll like it

[@waltercardcollector]

This is one of my favorite games of all time. If the board intimidates you with its 61 action spaces, my tip is don't think of it as 61 different actions, think of it as only 14 or so actions with 3 or 4 ways of doing each action.

[@gunslinger621]

Muse never played a board game except ladders and snakes. in my brain was melting the whole time I was watching this

[@DespinaValnir]

Wow, a friend of mine recommended you to me and I have to say I love all of your videos regardless of length. What’s also surprising is that they all said you looked almost exactly like me, which they were right about lol

[@jbaer0]

Oh, am I mistaken? I thought I heard something about delicious pancakes.

[@Q-Sitepls]

Is that a persona reference

[@g.akechi2792]

Humzillah I believe it is.

[@g.akechi2792]

Anyways, I was summoned why?

[@Calcifer111]

Old school Skyrim

[@galning2768]

As a Swede I can say that this game is 100% historically accurate

[@d.b.4910]

One of my favorite games. It looks overwhelming but it isn't once you break it down.

[@K0UK0U]

If you liked the basic, you MUST definitely get the expansion !

[@mcflycat]

The beautiful simplicity of this game makes it accessible but challenging.

[@UlquiorraKanishka]

I like that you are covering heavy euro games now.

[@cooming]

So this is the guy that likes when he sees square Enix at E3

If I ever get around to making a board game I would contract sungwon to do an official rules explainer video

[@dipman785]

Pleeease review Gloomhaven! My friends and I have been playing it nonstop for 2 years now, can't get enough of it.

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

This is one of my all time favorite games 🥳

Hey I know you! Excited to see this on your top 100. Also, would love to see a video on other youtubers you watch!

[@thetower8577]

FOR ODIN!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!

[@natkadolezalova5318]

Ah video for my birthday, that's nice.

Wait. It's like Agricola. But larger. And with vikings. I CAN UNDERSTAND THIS.

I know this is a joke but how the hell are you in class?

[@Imtoobusyslayingrn111]

I don't really play boardgames but I love the reviews more of these plss

[@varsoonhks3211]

I have a bit of a love/hate with worker placement games as they often don't give you a lot of opportunities to interact with other players. Nothing in this review seemed to indicate how you'd be engaged in multiplayer at all. Only a few worker placement games--like Tzolkin--make me feel like I'm not just kinda doing my own thing in a corner to hope to minmax points.

[@ctlraltdestroy]

I'd love to see you review Call to Adventure. Great card game that's kind of a mix between Everdell, Splendor, and D&D.

[@emme4602]

I don’t know why and I know this is dumb and weird but his face makes me happy lol he looks so nice

[@alexisgarciagonzalez1915]

I love this kind of games, the sad thing is my friends don't... So I would never be able to play it, they would quit as soon as I start explaining how to play 😔

[@GameCrawler]

This game looks awesome but it's also so very expensive haha...*Cries on the inside*
