Thank you guys SO MUCH for making this video! This was excellent work and very informative. I didn't even know there was a complete collection box.

[@BoardOfItReviews]

Really glad to hear you found it helpful!

[@felidonis_4z40]

Love this format of video. Gives the viewer so much information and for years to come people can make the decision on what they want from everdell if they watch your video. Great job. Keep it up!!

[@BoardOfItReviews]

Thanks for the support! We love making these, and hope publishers will work with us in the future to create them!

[@BoardOfItReviews]

Heya! Really heartfelt message from us here: Please, please consider subscribing or recommending us if this was helpful to you. As a channel we've always grown at a good rate, but the last month or two our subscriber growth has significantly dropped for the first time, despite the fact we've released some popular videos & our Buyer's Guides consistently do well day to day. Around 80% of our viewers are not subscribers. If you're one of those people, please consider helping us out. We do all this for a love of the hobby and the community, and as such we've never had a Patreon or asked viewers to support us financially. All we want is your subs as this makes it more likely we'll be able to collaborate with publishers and designers, and in return bring you more content! Thank you so much - Farrell & Tallie

[@danielkurjak730]

Just adorably comprehensive... Great job!

[@jimberry7385]

What an amazing deep dive. Well done! And the best dressed channel to boot!

[@BoardOfItReviews]

Thank you we hope it was helpful!!

[@tigerpjm]

I tell ya what, that's a mighty helmet Farell wears. Bloody solid helmet, that. Review was pretty good too. Subbed. Mainly for the helmet.

[@TheEmperorJim]

Thanks guys. Very useful❤

[@BoardOfItReviews]

Glad we could help!

[@filipdenkovic3878]

lovely in-depth video. thank you very much for your effort

[@BoardOfItReviews]

Hope it's helpful and worth the effort haha!

[@lymelindahoang6467]

Thank you so much for the great video! It was genuinely helpful. One comment id like to add: maybe next time you should put a picture up of what you are mentioning. (as someone who havent played with all the extensions yet, nor have seen any of the upgrade packs, extras etc, it was confusing/ hard to follow of what you were talking about without the visual reminders) (I know you did the above sometimes, but maybe not often enough)

[@BoardOfItReviews]

Thanks so much! I appreciate your comment, we'd always love to do more B-Roll, but time is always a factor. I do think we have a fair amount here though, with nearly 100 B-roll spots and they generally are showing what we currently are talking about. We get a few comments regarding this, and I think it's important to point out (generally, not directly at you!) often people are directly comparing us and what they see on the larger channels, which are run by full time professionals paid to do this and funded by viewers/publishers. We're doing this outside of our full-time jobs to help people, and we've never asked for money, only for people to subscribe, so we just can't match the level and amount of work that goes into other videos, nor are we trying to! Instead, we try to make honest, helpful content, and we also script our videos, which adds a lot of production time on that other "talking-head" channels don't have.

Thank you so much for this video! I saw this game today at my local board game store and decided to look more into it, as I am looking for a game that is fun and easy to learn for new players of board games. I am a “go big or go home” person and I always want to be able to have the full experience of any game. Would you recommend spending the money on the collectors edition or should I try the regular edition first? Thank you!

[@BoardOfItReviews]

I'd stick with the regular edition - the collectors is mainly if you want some fancier components and little extras.

[@TabletopRose]

I'm late to the party on watching this one, but I really appreciate the in depth review of the expansions here. I got the KS all-in collectors edition and I didn't know where to start with the expansions. Looks like New Leaf is the best bet. :) thanks you so much!!!

[@BoardOfItReviews]

New Leaf is terrific! Hope you enjoy all the content and thanks for the support.

[@tinamoser9560]

Since the designer said that Everdell was created to be played with the base game and one expansion at a time, I am wondering is it easy to retrieve the base game and just a single expansion out of the box or do you think it inconvenient to have to unpack the big box each time?

[@BoardOfItReviews]

If you mean from the big ole box of storage it's fairly easy as everything has its place, cards have dividers, resources have their own spots, etc. Probably the most tedious thing is that all boards go together in a specific order so you might have to take a few out to get the ones you want.

[@montyblunt]

I haven't yet played everdell, but a bit confused with expansions. I mean it's even more of them now as I know. Like Bellfaire, Pearlbrook, Spiritcrest, Mistwood, now NewLeaf. Maybe I even forgot some.. It's just crazy 😮. So it's possible to play all of them together same time? Are more coming? Cause the price for all of them together is like a new Iphone 😂

[@BoardOfItReviews]

Sorry to hear you didn’t get the answers from the buyer’s guide and you’re left unsure still! We don’t know about any future expansions, probably best to keep an eye on the publisher’s news for that!

Subscribed!

[@BoardOfItReviews]

Thank you! You're the best!

[@bearhustler]

Just watching this I feel my wallet screaming and my already full shelves groaning 😂

[@BoardOfItReviews]

Tell us about it! We don't know where to store the big box now!

My buyer's guide for Everdell: "Don't"

[@BoardOfItReviews]

Is there this exact comment on every one of our Buyer's Guides now?

[@GIVEPAUSEhobby]

@@BoardOfItReviews hahaha, for every super-helpful video on YT, I suppose there has to be a super-unhelpful comment. Gotta keep the universe in balance, haha. But seriously, this video is great, thank you!!

[@philipkelly7369]

@@GIVEPAUSEhobby I don't dislike the video but I don't think my comment is unhelpful, because my opinion is that Everdell is not a good game and if someone asked me I would recommend they don't buy it. But people disagree with me and that's fine.

[@BoardOfItReviews]

@@philipkelly7369 I'd argue it is unhelpful, not because of your opinion, but because you haven't given any thoughts or opinions on why it's not for someone. I completely get why people bounce off Everdell, and in fact in the video I say at one point I almost sold it before bouncing back and really enjoying it. Cancel Reply

[@BoardOfItReviews]

@@GIVEPAUSEhobby It's fine it's pretty fun, I just wondered if it was the same person commenting on every Buyer's Guide but now I can't find the comment on the Scythe one. Tbf, it's a lot quicker take than our epic video, so something to be said for that.
