[@BrookeRodgers-p1u]

BRO. I left a lengthy comment on a previous video of yours a few months back (fellow photographer/videographer here)... I have to say, you absolutely outdid yourself! The complementary colors in the lighting, the vintage/bloom look that ties into your setting, the back lighting, the balance of your key light and the shadows... Just, just WOW. 👌 🙌🤌 For real, when you're in St. Louis next, you have an invite to my place, a meal on me, and a play through of any board game of your choosing. 👌 Plus, I just want an excuse to geek out with someone who truly appreciates the arts and their intersections between board games and film making. Bravo. 👏

[@TimChuon]

I remember!! So cool to hear feedback like this because all of those tiny details we added in just makes it so much more worth it-the fact that you talk about the retro/bloom look makes me wanna run around the house 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you so much!! Super appreciative of the offer and all the awesome feedback-happy you enjoyed this one!!

I have to agree. Playing AE is such a great experience and it makes playing Dwellings now feel incomplete. I won my first game as the Wolf faction 🎉

What a great shoot! Super tight script too. I was intrigued by AE when you made your prototype video, but now I’m impressed!! 🐺🐺🐺 You are totally right about the toy factor. They did a great job bringing out the fantasy of space!

[@himynameistyler]

Just pre-ordered the base copy. You were the reason I bought dwellings and absolutely loved it, and this looks amazing as well. Your production is ridiculous and not to glaze you up too much but seriously the time and effort you put into making these videos is phenomenal and you are my go to channel whenever I want to see a new boardgame. Kudos!

Hey thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed the video and hope you get a chance to try out AE! 🐺

[@WhereMyMeepsAt]

Cinematography plus amazing content and clear explanations. You're making magic man!

[@joshkohler1008]

Great video - love the quality of what you produce. I’ll just add - the modules!!!! - I think that’s my favourite improvement - more choice, predictable costs, and much more exciting engine building/pull back turns compared to the cards dwellings :) and also repair/scrapyard - so even if you lose battle, you can still salvage your awesome pullback!

🐺 Awesome video, as usual! I can’t fricken wait to play this! Dwellings has been stuck behind Dune Imperium for me, mostly because I relate slightly more to a space them than I do a fantasy one. AE will probably take over my top spot when I play it a few times, even though I love the Dune theme.

[@BoardwithMeandMyself]

I am 5 plays in now and love everything about this game. The only thing that I think keeps popping up as a negative is how one can not go after a strategy that neglects the commerce track and the vault bonus, if another player goes up to vault 2 and builds a strong tableau. In all our games, the winning strategy (with a big margin) was always: vault 2, maxing out one or two other tracks and focus on resource generating modules. On their last return to station turn the player generated 8-15 resources (incl. cards), winning the game by this 30-40 pts margin, before players who were in the lead, gad better civ end game scoring modules, more developments etc. What do you think? For me it feels commerce is mandatory which somehow skews the distribution of faction abilities, non track or commerce focused factions seem to be definitely weaker.

[@peerm2130]

So excited to play this coming Saturday. 🐺

[@wedgeex]

Man... I'm inclined to agree with you. They really improved on the original design. I love it.

[@TimChuon]

they absolutely nailed it!!

[@Berndr]

for me it is a double edged sword, whilst we got more options in what we can do and thus strategically improved, we felt the game was very tedious to set up and pack up in comparsion with Dwellings, that great simplicity and depth in same package is lost in this itteration , the components , layout on the table felt messy where Dwellings felt so tidy and clean to overview ... But it is a very good game yet far from the best game of all the time for me though!

[@beckracing]

What i like about AE's improvements is how you can easily implement them into dwellings.

[@RvLeshrac]

Improved upon *almost* everything. Need those Raider sound bases.

[@OscarD.G.]

Great video, Tim! I'm not sure if I agree (yet), but I might. Your presentation and media artistry are top-notch. Thinking about your comparisons makes me wonder if they couldn't maybe do a DoE expansion that was mostly cards and similar cardboard unit upgrades. I feel like they could tweak the combat and units, and maybe adjust the magic (tactics cards) and the cards you can acquire (maybe even modularly where you can throw in one or the other) to adjust (for those who are interested) DoE in this direction a little bit, while not straying too far from the theme and feel of the original. I think it would get some attention if they did, and could be relatively straightforward in terms of components to add (mostly "cards"). I agree most (if not all) of your points. Either way, I enjoyed the video (though I do also really like the game). Thanks!

[@pvaughan007]

The tricky part is that Cardboard Alchemy is not the publisher of Dwellings. Otherwise, we would absolutely expand it.

[@OscarD.G.]

@pvaughan007 I forgot about that. Well, I'm 9 plays in on AE (mostly solo), and it is definitely moving up my list. I'm up to Commander Riker , and he beat me pretty good last night. You guys have done a great job! I look forward to seeing what's next!

It’s a shame you don’t like Andromeda’s Edge! We align on so many of our favorite games, so it’s exciting to see your coverage of this one 🎉

[@Manny-M]

Could see this a mile away!

[@Feldingor]

Awesome production on your video Tim 👍 I’m not sold on the idea that the game should give you more reasons to actively seek out the Raiders. I mean: thematically I guess a couple of factions would want to chase them down, but I got the impression that they’re just there in the Edge and you need to live with them. I think the game doesn’t want to you directly attack them, rather know they’re a constant threat and you should build up your faction and position your ships so that they don’t constantly send your whole fleet to the scrapyard, resulting in a very weak Return to Station turn. You may want to go hunt some specific raiders, but there a very few cases IMHO: the Abductor Saucer, for example, needs to be taken down out of necessity because it keeps scooping up leaders, making developments hard to build. The Hive gives you drones to use as temporary ships with infinite range, so it could be a nice move setting yourself up to attack it. I feel the game just wants you to take them into consideration when planning your strategy, whether you want to strengthen up and endure their constant attacks, manoeuvre your ships to avoid them or just live with the fact you might lose quite some ships to them.

Is there room for both dwellings and AE in your collection? Or does AE replace dwellings?

[@ABlokeCalledDaz]

I love the theme on Dwellings but AE just smartens things up enough that I don't think I'd play it again in any hurry so for me it's a replacement.

[@leadhead69]

@@ABlokeCalledDaz Yeah I really want to justify owning both because the art in Dwellings is great, but AE is just Dwellings, but better. I don't see a reason to own both unless you have fond memories of Dwellings, but mechanically speaking there seems to be no reason to play Dwellings if you have AE.

[@TimChuon]

Agree with @ABlokeCalledDaz and @leadhead69 here! Mechanically, AE is better for me too, and I have Dwellings now more as a collector's item-i could never imagine myself parting with it but I really have been reaching for AE time after time!

Honestly with the beef about raider rewards, It'd be so much cooler to just get a module(for the ones with a track upgrade) or for an expansion idea is to also give them a raider specific moon/reward token (like science/supremacy) that you can only get from defeating them.

@@TimChuon I'm not 100% sure, man. Root has been SO FIRMLY my favorite game of all time ever since I first read the rules to it in 2020 (before I even played it!). I absolutely adore that design. Arcs, however… I don't know yet if I can say I *enjoy* it more than I enjoy Root, at a purely emotional level, but I find it impossible to say that Arcs isn't simply **a better game**, because I really do think it is.

[@dreadknot69]

I love Dwellings and thankfully, for my wallet, sci-fi just doesn't do it for me. I passed on this one and will keep on trucking with Dwellings.

[@KMReviews]

I agree not being able to dominate them is to bad. Maybe there could been one faction that could or something. But yoh do have the hornets which can give you free actions. I played as the refugees, I beat the hive 3 times and stored all 3 hornets. Then I had a massive turn at the right time, also surrounding my opponent with them so their next turn they had to fight all 3. Also they majorly improved them by giving them shields. It sucked in dwellings when a cool monster came out and someone defeated them the following turn and they go away lol. With this, they definitely stick around. The mortality sphere with 2 shields. Even the S Raiders where you only remove one at a time. In dwellings, defeating them also only moved you up a track. But at least with this if you defeat the right raider ay the right time you can move up multiple tracks and get bonuses with both. Maybe you get a ship upgrade, move up supremacy giving you a supremacy token which allows you to move up 2 more tracks, and you choose green and blue giving you more tactics cards and science token which allows you to get a module which moves you up that track, etc etc. I’ve seen huge combos. That never happened in dwellings. Also how some raiders give resources, some give track movement, some give leaders, some give free actions, etc. there’s a lot of variety.

[@partyweb]
