Dude, you can't even imagine how happy I am that I discovered your channel. Finally, a guy who frankly says what he thinks! Such a thing is on the way to extinction, especially in the online environment. I have already seen many of your past posts, I notice that 99% we are on the same wavelength. Please, if it is possible, can you make a video with top 10 games that work well only in 2 players will me awesome.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

I think I did that already at some point in the past…search the channel and correct me if I havent

[@notlaw1976]

I'm just buzzing that some other people still refer to going to the "paper shop" 😂 Some knobber at work made me out to be some sort of Victorian for saying I was going to the paper shop. Nice one Mr T 👍

[@superspecky4eyes]

Can't beat the papershop.

[@kidmarine3994]

Haha, knobber! Been a while since I heard that gem - good work.

A friend backed this, got the whole kit. I’ll venture a borrow one day, but I’m glad I did not buy.

Bad rule books suck -- thanks for punching back for the rest of us!

[@odiedodieuk]

I like the series. This one isn’t a major improvement over the first game.

[@MAK08299]

Was thinking if this game worth my time, thanks for the opinions. Have you played Keep the heroes out? Also tower defence.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Not played it. Carnival Zombie is my favourite tower defence.

[@BrianMarcus-nz7cs]

Blagh blabh bjahhh thanks batt 👍

[@WillHinds]

Good video, as always, just a little thing, there's a typo in the title of the video. You might want to correct that for future search engine optimization, if you care about that.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Cheers mate..I’m a prick

[@WillHinds]

@@BoardGameBollocks your words not mine. Speaking of bad rules, you ever play Assault on Doomrock. That game gave me fits like very few ever have trying to sort out. And they reprinted it several times even. I must be an idiot.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

@WillHinds Ove never played it but I have indeed heard about it.

[@melle4390]

I know the price categories don't match at all, but how would this compare to other tower defence games like as small as Tiny Epic Defenders or as humongous as Cloudspire?

[@BoardGameBollocks]

I’ve not played either

[@nib71286]

Zombie kidz and zombie teenz does this, and its likely the same thing - but their rules are much easier to parse. It is weird that it isnt a campaign or "legacy" format though - as that would make more sense...oh well, publishers choice to make it harder and more confusing. Thanks from in the back 👍

[@johnmortimerjbmfitness7753]

Great review 😂

[@AlamAcosta]

Where can I buy this game? :o Nice video!!

[@BoardGameBollocks]

From me…email me

[@dabearz27]

I want someone to design a tower defense game called Bum Rush. At least then it would make sense for the game to be a massive turd.

[@captainimpulse]

Only if the game has you are fighting against waves of homeless people, though. I'm sure the BGG crowd would *love* it! 😆

[@uxjared]

The rulebook is terrible. Worst I've experienced on memory. Please whoever wrote this, please, please stop writing rulebooks. You aren't even close, just please change careers. I had an easier time learning Voidfall. That's not a joke. I'm struggling with a game that puts polyomino pieces over top of cartoon monsters because when you write in the rulebook about what happens when you lose your health, you neglect to say what happens next in that section!!!

[@pokezod7832]

Can you please explain? I for one had an easy time with the rulebook...

[@BoardGameBollocks]

I explained the issue in the video. The rulebook is all over the place. 3 sections in different places in order to start is insane. How you made sense of it without losing your mind is beyond me.

[@pokezod7832]

@@BoardGameBollocks Oh I just ignored the shit ass "first time" book and put the Glossary aside and started reading the main book. I do agree though that the Glossary shouldve been in the Rulebook and throw all the Scenarios into a Scenario book. One thing you didnt mention that I found bad in this game(which I really like) is that its too damn difficult. Dont get me wrong I like challenge, but this is extreme, I thought I would be able to pass the first few levels on hard and gradually go down so that the last few are a challenge even on Easy but I found myself failing the first level on Medium and the third on Easy. I have yet to play since(it was just a few days ago so not a long) but if I lose again on Easy I would have to tweak the rules, and maybe not by a little.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

@pokezod7832 There isn’t a first time book or glossary…you telling porky pies mate?
