Great review. I've had the hall of the mountain king sitting on my shelf for months now and haven't gotten it to the table. This game peaks my interest a lot more. I'll be a day 1 backer. Thanks Alex. I should really stop watching your videos though, I think I've dropped $1000 in the past 2 months on KS games just from them haha.

Great review. I'm a huge In the Hall fan, but this one doesn't quite convince me just yet. So the concept behind it is that you know you're being overrun right from the start and have to score as many points before the inevitable?
@BoardGameCo3 жыл бұрын
Basically yes. It works well too, you never actually get overrun before the end of the game, but the gnomes do keep pushing in.

this was my least favorite playtest of any burnt island game, and I definitely don't see two rookie designers meshing it into something higher regarded than endeavor when two of the pillars of the design are randomness and blind drawing hidden information that may/may not be useful, those are both anathema to a good table experience.
@helainacappel89073 жыл бұрын
Welp! We're sorry to hear that. We hope that you will give it a second try and decide after another play if still do not like it. My favourite thing about gaming is that there are so many games out there, you're bound to find one you like. Lucky for us, you like Endeavor.
@BoardGameCo3 жыл бұрын
Yep, the randomness I don't love.....but the rest of the game around it, I adore. It would take a longer video rather than a comment to go into why I really like Endeavor...but don't find the gameplay as rewarding.
