Evacuation is REALLY, REALLY good | A full review of every mode & module

[@AhJong0]

This is such a wonderful review - full of the combination of genuine enthusiasm and experiential discussion that makes this such a great channel 😊

[@trashmyego]

Not liking asymmetry in games is still so hard for me to grasp. 'What set am I playing today?' is an exciting question for me personally. Especially for a game I enjoy, as it adds variability and new experiences to explore through numerous plays. But then I guess I also don't mind 'cognitive load' or additional load in my games either if it's justified, and for me personally variability usually does justify it.

[@jameskirk4692]

Thank you for this nice explanation and talk about the game. You are spreading enthusiasm for the games and I feel it intensely with this vid and this game. You got me really interested in this and I will for sure have to try play this in some way.

[@markusbiewer2756]

Thanks for the great, detailed review! I can't wait to get my hands on this game, I love Vladmimir's games. Thank you for confirming that I need this.

[@Cissewis]

Woaw what amazing praise for this game! Thanks as always Maggie and Amy!

[@kraun124]

Great review!! Thanks! Excited for this one!

[@CombaTableGames]

you guys made me buy this game:D thanks for another wonderfull review, keep up the good work

[@rolfvansoelen8916]

Great review and thoughts, I love your enthusiasm for it, it feels contageous !

[@TheBrothersMurph]

This game is SUCH a banger!

[@bookaddict777]

Thanks for your thoughts on this one, ladies. I am very much looking forward to receiving my pre-ordered copy!

[@bryanwinston8820]

Thanks for the great review, glad I preordered this.

[@ThinkerThemer]

Hope you enjoy it as much as we have Bryan! Thanks for watching!

[@efratb4058]

Great review I don't think I've heard Amy complement theme so much before 😀

[@ThinkerThemer]

And it's SPACE 😂 Thanks for watching!!

[@Geeky_Anja]

Super happy to hear that this game is really really good ;-) I just bought it but was afraid that maybe it was going to be a bit "overhyped" so you put my mind at ease ;-)

[@darlene7165]

Great review!! It is now on pre-order for me!! I mean, Amy and Maggie both love it even though it is space with some asymmetry! What??? WOOT! I can't believe it plays in only an hour with two players. My sweet spot for Euros is the 60-90 minute time frame. Going on the DTW play list :).

[@elqord.1118]

I would love for them to expand on this game with more objectives, more stadiums and infrastructure and new sets of technologies. A very very expandable game

[@ThinkerThemer]

We would love that too! Thanks for watching!

[@RaduStanculescu]

Unfortunately lately Suchy isn't doing too much in terms of expansions. But I feel like at least the race mode might need more variability?! (This is just a theoretical thought, I've only played it once so far.) I like the idea of the race mode more, but it might be too samey after a few plays.

[@elqord.1118]

@@RaduStanculescu there's only a small number of decks in each category in this game. Longevity will suffer a lot if there are no expansions plans. I genuinely think this is best work in years and I hope it sells well. You would also be surprised just how small the box is. It was so refreshing to see how much he was able to comfortably able to out into a box of that size

[@RaduStanculescu]

@@elqord.1118 Oh, I've already played it once (race mode, standard actions, strict end of round bonuses). I think with points mode at least you might be able to focus on different things? But race more feels quite limiting.

[@eimwolliballa]

👍🏻 as always 👍🏻 what I like about your videos, among all the other things I also like, are Maggie’s solo mode reviews. I always like to know if I can enjoy it solo whenever there aren’t other gamers available 😁

[@maxkosek]

Wow really high score. Cool. Thanks for the another great review

[@BillyIndiana]

Great review! I'm really excited to try this game👍

[@2532robh1]

Oh I can’t wait!!!

[@DonGilstrap]

I absolutely need this.

[@Listan1]

What else did you rate a 9 this year Maggie? Separate question: Loved that it played well at 2 and within an hour. What games are similar complexity to this one? Wondering if it’s too complex for us or to hit the table. But 60 minutes play time-wow.

[@robertjackson8246]

Amazing review as always! Would love to see you wonderful people cover Healthy Heart Hospital 3rd Edition!

[@JohnClem56]

Wow, those are some high ratings! I'll probably have to seriously consider this one. Great review as always. Thanks... I think... even though my bank account might suffer!

[@gaillardlionel]

Looks like we've got ourselves a WINNER! (pronounced winaaar with the aussie accent of course) I was worried about the complexity, you've re-assured me... Let's now hope there will be enough games to ship from the old europe world to the new world up there in Canada (i gave up after waiting over 6 month for Woodcraft reprints, boooo!)

[@gadgetgeekgirl]

Oh no, this looks like a game I will LOVE. My poor shelves/wallet 😆

[@wedgeex]

Why'd you have to give it such a shining review? Now I'm going to have to get the elbows out to find a copy when it releases here.

[@jelledaems808]

where did you get those holders for the resources? They look quite handy?

[@brandobond]

Those are board game geek GeekUp Bit bowls. They are flat pieces of rubbery plastic that fold up into bowls and then unfold for easy storage.

[@jelledaems808]

@@brandobond thanks. Those would make a great Christmas gift

[@chamr]

Maggie, have to ask: your shirt really echo's the pallet and shapes of/on the planets. Intentional?

[@Toadimuss]

Love this game, but I do have a couple issues with it, all of which have to do with the instructions. a hand full of very important elements should defiantly be highlighted better, particularly how infrastructure works and WHAT ALL THE ICONOGRAPHY ACTUALLY MEANS. Also the sheet that describes the objective cards for points mode is horribly worded and there should be a full description of the anatomy of these cards and their basic mechanics. That being said I highly recommend this game for those who like euros with some weight to them.

[@mariuszkania9947]

This is first Evacuation review I see. I am a bit surprised how often you used word "stadium". I imagined that we have to build mines, for resources, plants for energy or farms for food but instead I see stadiums. What is a purpose of that building? Is there a happy society living and speding their time on entertainment so they forget caring about their planet so now they have to leave?

[@ralfn9629]

Wow, a Space-game and THAT score Amy?? I am not sure this is even for me, and I like good space-games. It looks like this game is rather WORK. And it also looks like a dry Euro. Themewise: to find two planets with water in the Goldilocks zone of a single star system that close together (who also look very similar) - is like another phantasy game. Lol. Thanks for the great review.

[@kevincragun5853]

Do you have to use poop to grow potatoes in the new world…like in the Martian??

[@ThinkerThemer]

Hahaha no poop. Just delicious, nutritious green cubes 🟩

[@kevincragun5853]

Hehe!! 😂

[@buddyberglund]

well, I mean, the game IS called Evacuation after all... 😉lol, sorry
