This game is my absolute favorite!! It’s so good almost everyone I’ve played it with has bought their own copy - the ones who haven’t couldn’t because it was out of stock 😫

[@atohms]

“Everyone i played with loves Inis” very true!

[@branboom3342]

Great video man, looking forward to seeing more from you!

This is a great review. Your decriptions and views about specific pros and cons are on point to me. I wish you the very best for your channel.

[@pete7421]

Inis is one of my favorite games of all time!

[@Jux925]

This is a perfect format of board game video review!

[@itzStoj]

Best review for Inis I've seen, great work!

[@-Ambos-]

Just typing what I want to add to my comment from before in a seperate comment, in case many comments are good for your channel. I think one of the most crucial points of finding a good board game reviewer is to find someone who has a similar way to analyze what makes a board game good or bad. I find your way to think about a game very well matching so I am glad I stumbled over this channel.

Will definitely buy Inis after watching this review. It's been on my radar for years, but this p e r f e c t l y executed review sold me on it 100% Thank you, reviewer guy!

[@adamzsinko4406]

Bought Inis about a month ago because of this review. 5/5 The channel is very well done, your reviews are to a high standard (just like your Hunt videos) and your 'is it for you?' approach makes it stand out from the usual rule explaining and "5 tips" videos. Keep up the good work 👍

[@michaeljameskeating1348]

Good review. I love high player interaction in board games (which is why I love Cthulhu Wars). The problem with many eurogames is even at multiplayer, it feels like you are playing solo, you're just playing solo with other people playing solo. I think INIS is next on my list to buy.

[@Kravkash]

Great overview! Just a wee pronunciation point: Inis should really sound like "IN-ISH", which just means "island" in Irish.

[@turningthetable94]

Cheers, I'll make sure to say it properly next time I bring it out!

[@danielbilik9282]

Great channel! Awesome videos! Immidiate sub!

Twilight Imperium is fantastic. Never played Inis though. Looks interesting.

[@Uberskull]

There is one flaw that I find with Inis, and that is that you can't read the effects of the advantage cards your opponents get for having a majority in a territory. You have to memorize them before they get into their hand, which makes it harder to have a good grasp of which territory you want to compete for.

[@lystic9392]

There is also a rule that comes with the expansion that 'solves' long stalemates. ('We need a king' module.) I haven't played it yet, but from what I hear I would house rule that after the 3rd(?) tie, a final round is played and then unless there is no tie, the Brenn will win.

[@alla2662]

For me Inis the best for 2 players. This is my favorite game! Love it

[@MrZombieplague]

Twilight imperium is my favourite game.. check out war of the ring as well if you are into grandiose games!

[@turningthetable94]

It's on my list to grab eventually!

[@MrZombieplague]

@@turningthetable94 Good man! =) I would reccomend getting table top simulator on steam. You can get basically any game and give it a test try using the steam workshop to download them. Have you ever played any of the sherlock Holmes consulting detective? They are a bit different but they are wonderfully engaging :)

[@RuairiOTuathail]

This game looks amazing. FYI Inis is probably pronounced with a "sh" at the end. Inis means Island in Irish. IH-nish

[@lystic9392]

There's a trick to unwarping warped plastic mini's.

[@lainiwakura44]

Sorry, but how exactly does "card drafting take luck away"? How can drafting not be based on luck? What am I missing?

[@antytrend]

Holy shit why would they change that box art, wtf…

[@GeorgiosD90]

Were your boardgames sorted out by how good they are? Cuz I dont like any of them below Dune....
