Thanks for the playthrough, will be getting this one for myself, love me some Cyclades. I wanted to get the kickstarter for the minis and extra tat, but they promised a crowdfunding round just for my region after the kickstarter was over; they gave up on that idea and just shafted everyone in South America who waited for it, since it was no longer possible to back the KS. Wankers.

I am buying this because you love it. Waiting for a deal, but for sure adding this to the collection. The Kickstarter page is an absolute mess. Endless scrolling of add ons and stupid "stretch goals" and other non-sense. I will never use KS (bad politics... BLM banner? Nope.) KS is rubbish. I am glad that you sort through it all and deliver a worthy opinion. We like mean/ high conflict games and this should suit our needs.

finally! been waiting for this channel to finally play the new cyclades. looking forward to the review.

[@frozenermarcel8057]

Funny how it looks like the boardstate overall doesn't change much. Also those are good looking meeples, almost switched to meeples instead of minis.

[@julienmarneffe3716]

Agree that it’s amazing how they made it better!

[@mrbastos]

I'm looking forward to this one a lot. I can't wait to try it

[@MarkusIridiusMaximus]

Saw you playing this at the expo but didn't want to interrupt filming by saying hello! Great game, backed on KS and looking forward to it arriving 🤤

[@BoardGameBollocks]

You should have said hi…I only would have sacrificed a small animal. Too many water voles as it is.

[@andrewszemis9399]

Wow, an actual play through. Now all you need to do is an unboxing and you’re no longer a liar 🤣.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

I now say i dont do unboxings...playthroughs will be back soon

[@KMReviews]

Ong I’m sooo jealous! And you get the first one on KZbin to actually play tnrough! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts

[@robtrounce3543]

Boom 💥 so glad you loved it

[@williamblack6912]

I'm still not sure how I should feel about this and how well it will hold up to the classic version + expansions.

[@Filthyy1]

This reminds me of Northgard: Uncharted Lands; have you ever tried it?

[@BoardGameBollocks]

No mate

[@Filthyy1]

@@BoardGameBollocks its from the same designer

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Don’t think it’s the same designer mate. Same publisher yes

[@tiford184]

Played this at UKGE as well, thought the map looked great. Good vibrant colours and very readable. How do you think the legendary editions measures up to the classic?

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Based on my single play I’d say I was very impressed.

[@tiford184]

@@BoardGameBollocks yeah same, I got a game in on the Saturday. It was really streamlined and the action just flew by. I went all in, but I think there’s something to be said for the elegance and smaller footprint of the meeples and standard-sized box. Although those standees don’t exactly have the same presence as the big miniature Polyphemus etc. Are you still looking forward to the massive ultimate pledge?

[@BoardGameBollocks]

@tiford184 yes! I was sceptical and almost didn’t bother but having played it I’m looking forward to it more than ever.

[@timjones990]

@boardgamebollocks did you back the legendary in the end?

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Yes

[@the_vitor]

Looking forward for this! 😶 Isn't this your favorite board game? When comparing it with the original, what's your opinion?

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Yes it’s my fave game of all time…somehow they made it better 😮

[@the_vitor]

@@BoardGameBollocks Awesome! I passed the Kickstarter of this but couldn't resist and thank God I pledged it in the late pledge 😅 It's my favorite team area control game (Titans expansion is essencial in my opinion)

[@nERVEcenter117]

So glad I backed this, and the meeples version at that. Tired of how obsessed this industry is with lavish miniatures, but then bloated, boring gameplay. A nice production can be made with simple components, and that constraint forces the gameplay to shine!

[@GPlewright]

I was going to back the meeple version but a late opportunity to back the miniatures version in a group pledge came up but I agree with your sentiment- offering a meeple version was an excellent move by the creators.

[@theshogunstein6475]

So did they make ypur favorite game better?

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Yes. Amazing achievement.

[@asdrubael1985]

Meeples for the new Cyclades??? Damn! That's NOT a good thing imo I'll keep my vintage copy like a relic now

[@thiagodonascimento7926]

Of course there are different versions of this game, and one of them has miniatures ... No need to freak out.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

This is the standard edition.
