I love the way Zee reviews games. I don't know if he uses this format anymore, but it's the best review format

[@lescarpenter3640]

Your reviews are always helpful. Glasgow looks like fun and I've added it to my wishlist.

[@RichMulholland]

Haha I'm from Glasgow. The theme and art is spot on. The yennaments make sense as it's how urban Glaswegians live.

[@tAfkaBoni]

Sounds like a mix of Glen More and Suburbia

[@brianpatzmann3741]

Thanks Zee!

[@isaiahheaden]

Very cool mechanics in this game

[@seanh5671]

Glad it turned out to be good, I have a hard time passing on any of the 2 player Lookout or Kosmos games because I'm a completionist (Unless they're REALLY bottom of the barrel, like Hengist). Thanks for another excellent review!

[@ClockworkWyrm]

Looks like a fun little game and I agree with you on the theme and art, just kind of meh. Sadly I tend to pass on two player games most of the time as I have a built in four player base at home and we don't usually play less than 3.

[@alexstrang9823]

does the game includes shipyards, because, y'know...Glasgow...(or as it used to be)

[@TheBrokenMeeple]

It was good, but not great, gave it a 7. Not enough variety overall but it was neat, short and very streamlined. Enjoyed my plays of it, but I think it struggles to set itself apart from the crowd in the 2 player game market.

[@tubefrog213]

Phew.... Glad u said ++ things about it. I hadn't even heard of this and the cover just jumped out at me while BF/CM shopping. Did 5 minutes of research--It usually takes months b4 i pull the trigger on a new game--and said wtf... why not. I had a few reservations cause it's a new designer, but this looked pretty kewl. Quadropolis/SIM CITY/etc + time track = WIN! Can't wait to try it. Thanks Zee.

[@jgodfrey1984]

This is the designers first published game? What else had you seen by him?

[@tubefrog213]

@@jgodfrey1984 U right.... I'm thinking of another game/designer. #toomanygames. Now I gotta figure out what designer that was.... I guess the caution I felt was "1st time designer." But from speed watching a couple vids on BGG I felt pretty confident this was something I'd like. iirc someone in an existing vid MIGHT have said, and I'm paraphrasing, "it's a great 2p game, but not Targi great." But what is, really? =P

[@alexstrang9823]

a bit like a circular Targia but looks fun

[@alexstrang9823]

oh and Tokkaido too!

[@jamescartwright1150]

Reminds me of Among the Stars and seems like a simple, fun and quick two player game my family might enjoy. Wonder if you could play it solo?

[@ilqrd.6608]

At this point really one must ask why they bothered with art for this one. It could have been absolutely anything

[@felixfryxell7529]

2 player games are crowded? 2-4 player games are way more crowded.

[@artoquartquar1318]

So Nice 💘💘💘💘💘💘

[@markwilliamson3043]

pronounced Glazgo...take it from a person who works in Glasgow 😉

[@markwilliamson3043]

@@jasonkerley1 😅 Glesga or weegie land as i like to call it

[@draheim90]

I was really disappointed as I thought this game was about developing Edinburgh when I bought it. I’ll probably return it.

[@martinlarouche4418]

Love your reviews Zee. Just a bit of criticism: You seem to have taken the habit of saying "okay" every half a minute or so in a few recent videos. It's a bit much when it's noticed. Feels like it was said around 30 times in this video as a way to end spoken phrases. Not a biggie, but a bit annoying, at least for me. Can't speak for others. Thanks for the good work.

[@carltugwell4952]

It's filler speak and it's, you know, like, basically rife at the moment you know. But yeah, no, I don't know you know. What can we do about it, you know, right?

[@jendubay3782]

@@carltugwell4952 no shit, Sherlock. It’s still annoying.

[@akadam90]

the cringe hearing Americans try to say Glasgow

[@akadam90]

@@jasonkerley1 that is true

[@simonadams]

@@akadam90 what are you talking about? he said it (surprisingly) fine, especially so for an American. Not everyone gabs like a tabend-crouching, elbow-nibbling weege

[@akadam90]

@@simonadamswhat are you talking about? he messed up 50% of a 2 syllable, 6 letter word. Is it better than messing it up entirely, yes. Was it still pretty bad, yes.
