City of Iron Review - with Tom Vasel

[@ozymandiaz566]

According to the rules, in order to create a new draw pile, you have to flip the cards from the discards over to become the new draw pile, so the card that you discarded first will be the card you draw first. The only time you can put the cards any way you like is when first starting the game. Otherwise, nice review, and looking forward to getting an opportunity to play my copy.

Every time he drops the game pieces I die a little.

[@thedicetower]

Do you mean like at 1:30?

[@jaland10]

This game did not click with me, but I am glad you liked it Tom.

[@kalega311]

lol "Best Euro game i've played in last 6 months." That's like saying "damn, girl, you're the finest girl I've seen in the past hour."

[@oidipositas]

Depending on where you are that might be quite a feat. (as id assume it is in this case)

[@tuozecarart1729]

Not really when coming from a man who has played 5000+ board games...

[@bookaddict777]

Better than Yedo? I am going to have to look for a copy!

[@dabearz27]

One game I just received (though the next edition is supposed to be released next month) that has excellent worker placement mechanics is Yedo. Look up Tom's review of it, and I think you'll be intrigued. As for the others you've mentioned, I've only played Agricola, and I enjoy it a lot. I didn't think I would because of the bland theme, but it's actually a very well-designed game.

[@JaKamps]

"Absotutin'likely" - Def.: So much going on in this game! Adj. (see also) : Gorgeous, Fantastic, Fabulous

[@TazKiKr]

But you know, Tom...reading is just, like... hard work, man!

[@BrettBrewer]

Tom, I am looking to get into the "eurogame" scene. Up until this point I had thought that worker placement games were the most appealing to me; I had narrowed it down to Agricola and T'zolkin (and possibly Trajan). Have you played T'zolkin? That game seems very interesting to me, with the gear mechanic. Having said that, this game looks interesting as well. Do you have any recommendation for someone that is new-ish to the hobby? Thanks a lot! Love the videos!

[@steveg7000]

Tom, last I heard, whenever one game goes onto your shelf, it has to replace something else. It would be interesting to know what game got replaced.

[@thedicetower]

I haven't decided yet.

[@MichaelSillion]

Looks awesome. Going to play it at a SteamPunk Boardgame day I'm hosting

[@SkywarpV]

Is there a Boss Hogg??

[@steveg7000]

See, that would make a good weekly or monthly segment right there. Anyway, great review.

[@mkietzmann]

Would this still be a recommendation in 2019?

[@mreid84]

I just played this tonight for the first time and thought it was fantastic

[@griffglowen5555]

I was about to ask the same question. Is it in the current top 100s?

[@acidfloyd2]

This has been on my shelf of shame and was going to sell it until watching this review. Now I'm going to play it Tuesday.

[@BCKempf]

To be fair though, some folks listen to the video and don't watch it while they may be somewhere that it doesn't behoove them to be seen watching videos. :)

[@FMD-FullMetalDragon]

This game looks like a lot of fun. :) Thanks for the review.

[@BrokenSplinter]

I'm a few seconds in and I see a gap oh the shelf. I'm guessing you like the game lol.

[@TragicTableTop]

Try Dominant Species!

[@spbtc]

I completely agree that the special abilities are not balanced. Humans get the worst, while the toad men is so circumstantial that in order to make it work you really have to commit to a particular strat.

[@RhinoBarbarian]

Want! Scratch that. NEED!

[@DeadInkPen41]

Be nice if you told us the number of players the game supports in these

[@rorirants9468]

*GENIUS* still laughing :)

[@GamersGrind]

It's the internet trolls don't like people that point to the facts

[@BowersGameCorner]

FACE!

[@bendfocuspro]

2-4

[@Arbie812]

Game of the year because hog men.
