@jsperafico4 жыл бұрын
If I may share my experience with Anachrony, the game isn't about time travel at all... if are you considering storyteling (hmmm.. yeah ) sure, but not as near as it should be on gameplay. After some 5 or 6 maches we figure out that is fairly simple to win without using this feature. And ended up as a work-around if we mess up in our strategy. It's highly improbable that we miss understood some rule, we had been restudying this game on every single match. I thank that's it, thank you for this excelent video guys!!!

What a great idea for a series. I think you broke even, because in disagreeing with Orleans' category, you could have people argue that Shakespeare is action selection and not worker placement. Love Shakespeare, and I agree about Agricola. If I wanted to read all that on the Agricola cards, I'd read a book. :)

Worker Placement games are my favourite style of games to play(2nd of course is Roll n Writes). I'm suprised that neither list had four of the BEST worker placement games on it(Kingsburg, Lords of Waterdeep, Champions of Midgard and Stone Age). My top 10 all time favourite Worker Placement games are.... 1) Lords of Waterdeep 2) Champions of Midgard 3) Stone Age 4) Kingsburg 5) Tzolk'in the Mayan Calendar 6) The Kings Abbey 7) Kanban: Automotive Revolution 8) Lorenzo il Magnifico 9) Agricola 10) Yedo, Russian Railroads, Asara, Last Will/Prodigals Club, and Archon: Glory & Machination are all in a tie for my number 10.

Why do you all like prodigals club so much more than last will? and do you combine them when playing prodigals?
@TheBrothersMurph4 жыл бұрын
We've never combined them and most likely never will, it would make the game far too large in our opinion. We like it more because it's less clunky. Last Will has a really confusing action selection part of it that we really dislike. Prodigals Club has pretty much everything Last Will does and more, and without the part we don't like. They're both good games though!
