Keep or Cull: Spiel Review Special #2

[@RedEyedGhost1]

The whale, vale, veil interlude was fantastic. I wish I could get half as many new games played as quickly as the two of you can ☺

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

Haha, thank you! We do our best to play many games 😅

[@denycast]

Now I want to Play "Wale of Eternity" 😀

[@paulhamrick3943]

Whenever I see you post a Keep or Cull video I think to myself “oh boy, here we go again!”.

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

Hope it’s a positive «oh boy»? 😂

[@malvinafis6907]

Glad you liked Vale of Eternity. I really enjoyed it. I hope it has replay-power too :)

[@nchlsrdmr]

As an English/Norwegian speaker, the fact you struggle with "Vale" makes me chuckle :D it's the same as the V sound in Norwegian. Vi/vil/vale 😊 obviously you pronounce 'w' as 'v' in Norwegian as well, but that's when you change the sound in English! Another great episode, Keep or Cull are still the videos of yours that I watch first! ❤

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

Haha, that is awesome! That was actually veey helpful 🤩

[@RichardLearnsGames]

"Well I have culled lots of good games. Watch me!" What a laugh I got! Thanks!

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

Hahaha 😂 We do our best!

With our rabid love of Japanese designers, we reeeeeally need to get our hands on some Saashi & Saashi games, like Come Sail Away. I just think that theme matches the mechanism of mancala so deliciously. Also had my eye on Remember Our Trip and Coffee Roaster for a while as well. The Vale of Eternity looks right up our alley, too (yay for more Asian designers!), because I'm always complaining about games where we battle monsters... we just want to invite the monsters in for pets and treats and coo to them gently. I also played Knarr on BGA (because I really liked the designers last game, Codex Naturalis, and also vikings) and remember being similarly underwhelmed. Love the art tho, so I may end up getting it just for that (also, again, vikings), I feel like it would make a good filler game

[@Shoitaan]

I didn't expect someone mispronouncing vale as whale to make my morning but here we are.... 😂

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

Hahaha, we are glad to deliver :P

[@naomiooooo]

Great quick reviews… on games I am deciding on whether to buy or not (and helping me with the more not part of that scenario).

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

Thank you! Glad we can be of help!

[@barclayjerrard5314]

Completely agree with your comments about Knarr, I found it underwhelming and the player colour choices were absolutely baffling! It's impossible to tell who's who by the ship cards (which are so muddy coloured)

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

Yeah, the player colors are really weird! The game is fun, just not amazing for me! :)

[@aliplaysalotro]

Culling Knarr? :O That game is amazing!

[@ifnyou]

To produce the /v/ sound, try saying "f" but voiced, with your voicebox humming. "Fail" is almost the right sound, much closer than "whale".

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

Thank you! Always good with reminders on things I haven’t thought about since school, hehe :)

[@codym6376]

I’ve played Knarr on BGA and enjoyed it. Might try to grab myself a copy once it’s available. It reminds me of Century Golem mixed with splendor and maybe 10% more complicated.

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

It was fun, but I didn’t fall in love! :) Glad to hear you’ve been enjoying it!

[@lukepanel8656]

I want to get Knarr (keeps autocorrecting to Kmart) for the card art, it’s a good looking game

[@naomiooooo]

It sounds like BGA may be the way to play it… watch Thinker Themer’s take on it.❤

[@garytheosophilus]

I was hoping Vegetable Stock would be a double Keep 😢 Johannes didn’t seem to be surprised 😊

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

No, no surprise, but it is a really fun game!

[@wallyvdb87]

What was the name of the first game? Can t seem to find it on bgg. Thx (and thx for the vid and fun series!)

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

It’s called «Pan T’es Mort» :) Glad to hear you enjoyed it! 🤩

[@markstamp3937]

I was underwhelmed by sunrise lane. I felt it was super light and because the bonuses are the same every game there won't be much variety

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

I enjoyed my plays of it, but I have no desire to play it again :)

[@gavkenny]

Whale of Eternity - lol

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

Haha 😂

[@ilqrd.6608]

Brutal cull!

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

Which one(s) 😅

[@ko9]

In "Pan t'es mort!" The ending t and s are silent, so "Pan, teh more!"

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

Awesome! Thank you! It’s not always so easy to say things correct! :)

@@BoardGamingRamblings A downside and upside of living in the Netherlands, you basically have to know every European language because we're surrounded by languages that are much more popular than ours 😅

[@JohnClem56]

@@ko9 Ja, maar ik vind Nederlands erg leuk! I'm from the US but lived in Haarlem area for 3 years. Took lessons and learned a fair amount of Dutch while there and still remember some of it (it was 35 years ago!).

[@ko9]

@@JohnClem56 That's awesome 😊 Nederlands is a nice language, somewhere between English and German, shame so few speak it really 😅

[@denycast]

I want to play "whale of Eternity "😀

[@lukepanel8656]

Point city is a good little medium light game, takes about 30 minutes to play. I like it but I’ve watched these 2 enough to know they wouldn’t like it so much. It’s a fun little solo game as well.

[@Ashwinz]

I was exceptionally underwhelmed by it and thought the set up, and game maintenance took all of the fun out of it for me.

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

I enjoyed it, but didn't find it super excited or one I needed to own/play more! Enjoyed my plays, happy to have played, but didn't blow me away! Very happy to hear you are enjoying it! I like that people lke games :D

[@AaronAndSusie]

Lol whale of eternity 😂.

[@BoardGamingRamblings]

The best whale there is 😂

[@fadibs6593]
