Clank! Catacombs Review (vs. Clank! Vanilla, Clank! in space and Clank! Legacy)

[@ejim941099]

Only 500 views and 6 comments? That’s crazy. You crushed this!! Excellent production value.

[@realjon4220]

Glad u enjoyed it! Been trying to get more exposure, but not sure how other than posting my vids on BGG lol.

[@neosilitone]

I’m only 5 minutes in but your production on these videos are awesome, thorough, entertaining, easy to understand and an overall joy to watch. I wish you further success and can’t wait to see what’s ahead for you. Keep it up

[@realjon4220]

Many thanks! Glad you enjoy the content 😁😁

[@walkinginsingapore8548]

Very detailed explanation. I'm impressed

[@Toto-yt3wf]

Best tutorial I've seen so far for the catacombs 👍

[@brianrainer]

Hi, thank you for making this comparison! So helpful and well-explained! I'm surprised you found Clank! Legacy to not be as good, I've never played it but read so many good reviews of it. Your opinion definitely changed my mind to buy it 😂 it's been on my wishlist for some time but I think I'll save my money now 😂 I agree with what you said, sometimes the game can be so unfair, and trashing is one of the culprit definitely! One alternative solution I can think of is to add a permanent reserve row where you can trash a card and draw one card for 7 skills. I think it can change the game! Thank you for making this once again! So helpful!

[@realjon4220]

Same! Clank Legacy was very disappointing for the overwhelmingly good reviews it gets. I didn't discuss this in the vid because it's already too long: I was really looking forward to having unique decks due to legacy elements (i.e. modifying your starting deck with stickers), but that stuff is very far in between and very weak additions to your deck, my group thinks they're a joke. Only get Legacy if you REALLY like Clank, and even then, expect an unfair campaign. For the trashing stuff, adding a trashing card on the reserve row would definitely help. They either need to have it readily available to everyone or remove it completely from the game. Glad it helped!

@@realjon4220 I have pre-ordered the Legacy at my local OLGS. My main interest primarily sums up from story elements. I suppose that is one major reason for its popularity.

Great review, can't wait to try this game

[@tarakanlt]

Good one, and Quest for El Dorado is my favorite too,

[@yeskha]

Amazing review (4 in one!), plus now I know all the rules. Can't believe it took 18min, felt like 9 tops, well done! Only thing that's missing is more degenerate legacy town names :D No brainer subscription from me!

[@realjon4220]

Thanks for the sub and glad you found it helpful 😁😁. We had more sus town names but they are spoiler territory lol.

[@FasFas160]

Really well made video! am shocked it has so little views when the editing and script is so good. Made me understand the rules of the game super easily. One question, if you were building your board game collection from the ground up and you had to pick between clank:catacombs and quest for el dorado, which would you pick? They seem similar, but i'm not sure which is most fun/welldesigned and has the best replay value

[@realjon4220]

Quest for El Dorado by a MILE because: 1. Faster game 2. Better designed 3. Race component is fun (more than dungeon crawling imo) 4. Fairer game (Nowhere as swingy as C:C) 5. Has unique and good twist on the card market you wont see in other deck building games 6. About the same replayability I'd say? The maps in El Dorado are modular and can be mix and matched. Glad the video helped! I honestly am not sure how to get more views/traction on my channel :/.

[@greytoeimp]

I don't have any of the others and aren't too interested tbh, but I really like Catacombs and will def get any expansions for it. I preordered Wild Tiled West bc I am a fan of the designer, who also did Dune Imperium!

[@realjon4220]

Don't even bother with the other clank games, catacombs is the best one by a mile. Wild tiled west looks fun and I'm a sucker for polyamino games lol.

[@jameskellam2980]

I really enjoyed that. Subbed.

[@realjon4220]

🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@jksalamon]

Amazing Video!!! really well done. Wonder how much effort you put in to make the 19minute video. Subscribed. Look forward to more such videos for Xia, Earthborne Rangers, Arydia once its out and more.

[@realjon4220]

Glad you liked it! My videos take waaaaay too long to make lol.

[@ansonvergens2896]

Wow! Very very good!

[@rolfvansoelen8916]

Great tutorial of the game, allthough i am not a fan of 'cut-all-the-breathing-out-of-sentences', it feels unhuman and very rushy. The comparison to the other Clank games makes a lot of sense.

[@realjon4220]

Appreciated the feedback. I do honestly feel like im rushing through these things at times when i play back my videos, but i also wanna make videos that doesnt require me to adjust the speed settings (most board game videos are ultra slow)
