I really love you guys, the way you present and your humour too. You are one of the very few I watch instantly when the notification comes in 😀. So glad I discovered your channel. Thanks for all your hard work 👍🏻

[@BoardGameHangover]

Thank you so much! You are awesome Susan!

[@_JJ_MV_]

[@DonsKihots]

[@BoardGameHangover]

Glad you like it! Will keep working on it!

[@arthurmensing3869]

Keep up the great work! Great insight from 2 funny dudes. I'm looking forward to more content. Thanks!

[@BoardGameHangover]

Much appreciated!

[@krisscrims]

Best 3 things, Jāni, 3., 2., and 3.again... 👌 But great upgrade in style and approach overall, nice job, guys. 💪

[@BoardGameHangover]

Will need to work on that... :D Glad you like it!

[@ledevall5300]

Love the new look guys!!! 👍Your content is top level quality and professionalism. 👌

[@gruntsudens]

Thanks a lot!

[@min2724]

You guys need to advertise more. Haven't heard of this channel but the quality of the video is outstanding!!!!

[@BoardGameHangover]

Thanks for the tip!

[@hannahr5037]

Also, I really enjoyed the format of your video. That's a subscribe :)

[@BoardGameHangover]

Happy to have you Hannah!

[@hannahr5037]

Fresh review for the old game that I just purchased. Thank you :)

[@BoardGameHangover]

Have fun with it!

[@vladimirshlapakov8033]

Unique, but very depressive game! So nobody wants to play it with me ). Great review as always, and with new visual effects, yey! Overall super quality videos, the best!

[@BoardGameHangover]

Agreed. Thanks Vladimir!

[@Pickleeater34]

Yeah I went ahead and got this game cause I was pretty keen but this review sold me on it. What an amazing game this is. It's just brilliant. Thanks again for the great work!

[@pjarnfelt]

I really like your style for reviews. Thanks for the video! I've been on the fence with this game for a long time and I think I'll skip it :)

[@BoardGameHangover]

Thanks! Yes, it's a great game, but has a very specific audience.

[@fablan5260]

Your new studio really looks good! Cool to see that you change some things to keep it fresh for your und the viewers! The game is nothing for me, anything close to 3 hours is usually too long for my friends :-D

[@BoardGameHangover]

Thanks! We like it too!

[@Urutsini]

I would love to hear your thoughts on Kingdom Death: Monster, specifically in comparison to this game?

[@gruntsudens]

Oh, those are very different types of monsters. And I mean it in every sense of the word. KDM is a boss battler with tons of fresh adult (I would not play it with kids) fantasy game dripping with theme and super expensive and can take forever to complete a campaign. TWoM is affordable survival game with a very serious theme that can be completed in 3-6 hours (but don't do it in one sitting). And I would play this with my kids in a year or two, to discuss all the hard choices. So for different reasons I love both games, but had to get rid of KDM for the lack of space. But when my kids are older I would like to come back to it. But for now TWoM will do.

[@hamzad5061]

Nice new lay-out, especially the 3 (!) Best things 😅 just noticed today, usually your writing too much stuff... Keeps things fresh! Anywaysss like your content! Like this game, but the game length is huge 🤔 for now, keeping it on my wishlist

[@gruntsudens]

Yes, it is best in bite sized sessions.

[@iansutton7416]

TWOM is the game I'm most glad I own. Not the most 'fun', nor anywhere near that, but an experience that is unrivalled, and showed that board games could be something that you wouldn't think possible. It's memorable for sure. No disagreement with the negatives, to which I'd add that the insert isn't very good for fast setup / packaway, though a good aftermarket insert does help a lot. Good video!

[@BoardGameHangover]

Yes I agree with that the experience is unrivaled. Glad you liked the video.

[@romanderman9000]

new look? ok, i'll probably get used to. But i really liked previous text graphics, that was like a way to breath before diving top next part...and brief moment from you both XD aaaanyway GL!!!

[@gruntsudens]

You can't get away ;)

[@romanderman9000]

[@BoardGameHangover]

Appreciate the feedback! We'll work on it with time :)

[@BoardGameHangover]

What game should we review next?

[@maijavariokoja6155]

Robinson Crusoe please :)

[@ryanrauwerda]

Maybe a short card game?!

[@vladimirshlapakov8033]

Where I can see the list? )

[@chiuvak]

Dice Throne

[@darbyl3872]

Pavlov's Dogs. It's a fun game that isn't getting much attention.

[@lunalepis]

you guys are funny!

[@Dwigii]

I am curious why you did not talk about comparison to video game. If I've beaten that one would this still be of interest to me? Is the story and events much different?

[@gruntsudens]

Well, no. If you have played the video game and beaten it, I would only suggest this as an experience you could share with someone.

[@kiralred_30k]

I've just heard about this game and it's so hard to find for buying at retail. Do Awaken Realms ever reprint their games?

[@stirnisbriedis9859]

Second

[@darbyl3872]

I've heard this game has a dark mode or a super-dark mode. In other words, eating the dog is not even close to the bad stuff.

[@BoardGameHangover]

Well the original was dark enough for us :D

[@gruntsudens]

Yes... well... no spoilers.

[@chrisw942]

This is one of my favorite games, but is almost always played solo. The one time I played with someone else, it lasted 8 hours! I don't think this board game is any darker than The Walking Dead TV series--survival and scavenging is also exciting😊!

[@mothraw1]

How long is the solo play of it? Just picked it up today!

[@chrisw942]

@@mothraw1 Most of my games were 2 to 3 hours. I hope you enjoy playing it!

[@Xavier-pe4eh]

The board game is also cool when you have this war of mine the video game And the board game Because when you get bored of the video game or the board game You can play the other version of it The board game is a lot more random And the video game after some time is basically just ease unless you have the random loot mod Both the board game and video game of TWOM are Very nice to play I also got once Nadia that i couldnt feed and i had to roll the black dice She was pregnant The child was born But Nadia was starving idk if she lost her sanity but she basically just strangled her baby using her clothes Pretty drastic

[@jhelolopo1411]

I really want to grab a copy of this game. Played the digital game. Looted the location with the 2 elderly pleaded to not take all their things. Took it anyway. Went to base. Felt real guilty as if it was real life. Uninstalled the game. Best game.

[@josehaks7482]

No entendi ni vergas, pero se ve bueno 😀👍

[@kitcarpo4745]

Which edition of the game is this?

[@BoardGameHangover]

This is the retail version without any expansions.

[@iansutton7416]

There are a few of us, possibly a minority though, who think this is much better with other players (rather than solo), as that brings the narrative to life and helps to put us more in the shoes of the civilians when making the challenging decisions this game presents (that are all the better not being simple 'Disney' morality decisions that reward doing good things / punish bad things).

[@BoardGameHangover]

Very good point!

[@dermaniac5205]

Does playing it with more players add anything? From the looks of it, it seems like playing it with others is just like playing a single-player game where you pass the controller around.

[@BoardGameHangover]

Not mechanically. It just adds discussions about what to do, but you won't be missing much playing it solo

[@dermaniac5205]

@@BoardGameHangover Thank you so much for responding, despite this being an older video 🙂

[@saren6538]

best game ever made

[@Bieranti]

I don't know about this one. I just simply cannot justify to play this game over the PC version with instant saves, PC as admins, much more characters, much more variable stories, etc.

[@gruntsudens]

Well, a lot of people don't want to play PC or video games. So this is the way they can experience such a theme. But sure, it is quicker and more varied as a video game. But there is a reasons all the big video games are getting a board game variant. There is something in that tactile analog gaming.
