Galactic Cruise is AMAZING! 🚀 (Game Overview and Full Review!)

[@dimmok8344]

Dude that shirt!? Also stepping the editing game up with those zoom ins! 👀

[@BoardGameDave]

Right? Hannah's sister got that for me for my birthday! 👕 And thank you for noticing! I've been trying some new things using Final Cut Pro but I have a LONG way to go... but hopefully the videos just keep getting better and better! (And hopefully I look less red in them, too!) 🥵

[@JoeTheGons]

Excellent review in less than half an hour! I really appreciate your scoring process and how in depth you get into the details- very helpful. Also, thanks for being honest about game length and cost; I love long games, but it's hard to convince people to that much time. Great job!

[@BoardGameDave]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I was hoping the video would be a bit more concise than it ended up being but I'm glad you didn't mind the length! ☺️ And I'm always honest with my reviews but I might be especially sensitive to people's time and budget restraints! Playing a 3+ hour long game after a ~45 minute long teach is definitely not everyone's cup of tea! 🤣 Although depending on who you play the game with it might not take as long as it took me and my friends-who knows? ☺️ Thanks again for checking out the video and for the comment!

Awesome overview/review! Random question-where did you get that amazing shirt?!

[@BoardGameDave]

Thank you so much! ☺️ And I was wondering if someone would ask about the shirt! My sister-in-law got that for me for my birthday! (I think my wife actually found it on Etsy and showed it to her first!) Would you like me to try to get a link for you?

[@BoardGameDave]

Hey, I know this comment is from a while back but someone else asked about the shirt today so here's the link in case you're still interested! www.etsy.com/listing/628334650/board-game-mechanics-mensunisex-t-shirt

Love the scrolling inspiration quote! :)

[@BoardGameDave]

Haha, thank you, Dale! 🤣 I think the quote I was trying to reference was "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened" but I'll stand by what I said... whatever it was! 🤣 (But the pain of not being able to play this game for a whole year is definitely real! Wish we could have played it together!)

[@DaleKeefer]

@@BoardGameDavehaha yeah I got where you were going. I feel the pain. I've decided to give up on kickstarters too, since the price drops so rapidly after retail these days. I would have loved to try GC as well but I'll just wait for retail.

[@BoardGameDave]

Thank you for understanding what I was going for! 🤣 And avoiding Kickstarter games sounds like a good financial move-thankfully I've made it this long without getting bit with the Kickstarter bug! (Only three Kickstarters backed so far!)

[@scruffylooking2184]

Thanks for the review.

[@BoardGameDave]

Thanks for checking it out! ☺️

Looks like a beautiful game, 👌 but kinda have to agree the, price does seem a bit high. Quick question, I've been looking into roll/ flip and write games, do you have any recomendations? Or know of a solo game that doesn't get old fast?

[@BoardGameDave]

There's no escaping that it's an expensive game for sure but it's so well-designed and even the prototype has amazing art and components! 😬 And I wish I had some good roll/flip and write games to recommend to you-that's not a genre I've explored too much, unfortunately! My wife and I enjoy Fleet: The Dice Game which is a fun roll and write game! But there are SO many out there these days and a lot of them seem solo-able! I would head to BGG and sort by mechanism and see which ones seem appealing to you! 🎲 If you're just looking for some solo recommendations in general, here are my favorites! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jX-toImrirF2f80si=Hi0hIYFT5rOVrcMJ

I’ll add that it never felt long.

[@BoardGameDave]

For me, the three-hour game felt like just the right length of time! 🕒 The only part of our almost four-hour game that felt long was right at the very end, maybe even after the game end was triggered. (But it was also pretty late at night and it was a school night so that could certainly have been part of it!) Hopefully we'll get to play it much more once the Kickstarter fulfills next year! Can't wait to have a finished copy! 🚀

[@kosterix123]

components plastic or wooden?

[@BoardGameDave]

All wooden components!! 🪵 (Besides the punchboard money and ad tokens!)

[@kosterix123]

@@BoardGameDave AWESOME!!

[@BoardGameDave]

@@kosterix123 They’re really great components for sure!
