Look Back - October 26, 2022

[@lorelieloma765]

I enjoyed seeing the games from 20 years ago!

I'm on the fence for 7 Wonders Architects for a very long time, guess finally the time has come to purchase a copy. Look back is so entertaining, and triggers so many memories, great stuff.

I will never tire of the way Tom pronounces "Teotihuacan." Great video!

[@mydemon]

Thank you Tom! Super entertaining and informative as always!

Glad to see that Origins is still a 7. I love it so much, but I encourage you to check out the new expansion Ancient Wonders. One of your criticisms that I agreed with is that it drags at the end. This removes all the normal end game conditions that can drag out the game and give it a set number of rounds with a scoring goal after each. It forces the game to be over after 4-5-6 rounds which gives it a much more reliable length. Also, check out the micro expansion Voices. It makes the white dice you can draft give a small bonus if you take a less desirable 2 or 3 to encourage you to take it. Add them both together (along with a couple other things Ancient Wonders adds) and the game is an 8.5.

It would be interesting to see games from 15 years ago too.

you still recommend title recall over regular time's up? anyone else have any opinions on which time's up version to buy?

[@danielengel4593]

The KS for Vabanque sadly failed :( I own the ugly Winning Moves version, well time to upgrade it myself.

5:05 - Tom is right. Professor Evil had one expansion. Zee reviewed it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKjbaaWHjtydq9U The game is one of our faves. We got the expansion, but haven't had a chance to try it yet.

Vabanque is amazing- underrated on BGG and a hit with my group. 7 Wonders Architects is indeed the perfect family game, and an excellent gateway or filler. I was thinking of finally giving Tammany Hall a try this week with my group so a nice coincidence.

30 years ago there was a game called Omega Virus. This game talks back to you and makes fun of you while you try to disarm it because it is going to destroy the earth. Love this game! I wish Restoration Games would pick this one up.

[@shawn_solo]

Can't find Vabanque anywhere.

[@timdertim]

Look back seems about right today, it's my Birthday 🍰

[@rumpleforeskin1275]

If a game that you don't like is a 6, I can't imagine what a 3 would be

[@george_castle]

I want to play Clans of Caledonia so bad but there are no prints to be found unless you want to pay hundreds of dollars. 😢

[@george_castle]

@@uplift-yourdailypickup6424 I didn't know about board game exchange, thanks for the heads up!

[@thomaswolf2391]

Are you in the UK? I have a spare copy I'm selling. ;)

[@george_castle]

@@thomaswolf2391 I am not. Thank you though

[@antoniostoryteller]

Yaaay! 20 years ago!

[@8odorakos]

Twinkle is great!

[@drxsmetalhippie]

Ah yes, the valcano game.

[@ringostarr7080]

Sushi roll? I own a different Version. And it is sooo good. Much better than Sushi Go. I assume you mean a different Version. Otherwise you are wrong 😉

[@headsetguy3805]

I really like the idea of this series. However, so many games and only one change for 0.5 points wasn't that interesting to watch for me. I would prefer to only know about changes, for everything else I can watch the old reviews. Thanks anyways and have a nice day!

[@BoardGamesBricksHobbies]

I still don't really get the buzz for Time's Up, it's just another run-of-the-mill party game full of pop culture. But I guess that's just me 🤷
