Nemo's War - ACT 1

[@wombatgirl997]

What a fascinating game. I wouldn't have thought a game about this theme would work, but this actually looks very fun.

[@jimtompkins9946]

I think this is one of the very best single player games available (2nd edition). I usually try to take my cues from the goals (e.g. exploration) as to the mindset I take to the unfolding story. I hope your video brings more attention and demand for this game. Thanks for doing this.

[@BoxofDelights]

Thanks Jim ! I wholeheartedly agree.. a game that I think will merit lots of plays, getting better with each one.

[@HeaterCalhoun44]

Ricky I just wanted to tell you how much I love your playthroughs. You got me into Mage Knight, and I just got my hands on Nemo's War. I'll be using this playthrough to help me get into this game also! You make it easy, and I can't thank you enough sir

[@BoxofDelights]

It's my pleasure! thank you for taking time to comment, and for watching! Hope you enjoy Nemo's War.. that's a great choice! R.R.

[@amansparekh]

It’s fascinating how each motive feels like a different game

[@justineby8738]

Watching your videos on Nemo's War was how I found out about, and later bought, the game. I've never regretted it since, my brother and I have had many fun voyages around the world in the Nautilus. Many thanks, Ricky Royal!

[@alexanderhummel927]

So it’s pretty replayable?

[@Suvorov928]

I can't believe I didn't see this when it came out. Love your channel and love Nemo's War. Can't wait to watch this playthrough.

[@BoxofDelights]

Thank you; hope you enjoy it ! RR

[@penoyer79]

Finally got around to watching this. Awesome video, Rick. These are my favorite types of playthroughs... games with engaging stories/event cards. And you do it very well. Reminds me of your older cinematic style playthroughs. Well done.

[@stormtwo-spirits5662]

Great game, played it half a dozen times these past three months, I've only not lost the game once (inconsequential) after shifting from an explore motive to an anti-imperialist motive in act III. I would highly recommend to all that you should invest in the three expansion packs. #1 Nautilus Upgrades, #2 Bold and Caring, and #3 Dramatis Personae. Sure it adds a bit more complexity but it is primarily a solo game so what's the rush. Bold and Caring adds two more Nemo motives, all three expansions combined makes for an even more exciting adventure. Happy Holidays and a safe and Happy New Year all.

[@SWholley]

This is terrific Ricky. One of my favorite solo games. I'll be following along!

[@BoxofDelights]

thank you! Hope you enjoy the series.... R.R.

[@SWholley]

Ricky Royal it doesn’t appear that you took your starting upgrade card, unless I didn’t see it.

[@BoxofDelights]

@@SWholley I didn't. Since it is optional, I chose to keep my starting resources instead. I mention it in Part 2... Enjoy ! R.R

[@craigpaske4333]

Great video. When you got the 5 actions I could feel the excitement.

[@BoxofDelights]

It was a rare treat !

[@bhekking]

Great to see some interesting new content - such a fun, engrossing game

[@arenkai]

This game has been sitting on my shelf for a year and a half... Half a year because there was missing content in the box, Half a year because I forgot about it, and half a year because I opened the rulebook and lost my sanity. Now I might finally learn how to play !

[@BoxofDelights]

Heehee ... this sounds familiar. I have games like this. Hope you get to enjoy it !

[@seahawk8601]

glorious!!! Yet another reason why you are the best in the business!!!!!

[@BoxofDelights]

thank you ! Looking forward to your top 30..... !

[@msa4998]

I ordered this recently and waiting on its delivery. Looking forward to a play .... we will see if it's as good as the book! Thanks again for another solid video series (WoTR was my fav .... that was epic!)

[@BoxofDelights]

my pleasure! Hope you enjoy the game! R.R.

[@donnieinman8049]

Amazing game, so glad to see you play it. Love Victory Point games. So many great games including an amazing deck builder designed by someone we're all familiar with.

[@KujoPainting]

If I remember right, I think the capital ship card is meant to be buried quite deep into the deck.

[@BoxofDelights]

No, not really; it's just random like the rest. It kinda worked out okay finding it so early.

[@kobusbrits3523]

Hi Ricky (and others). I'm deciding between Nemo's War and Gloom of Kilforth, which game would be a better choice to provide good replayability and longetivity.

[@cliveslater6581]

Good god Ricky your the reason I am so broke at Christmas - this year I have bought everything chip theory games have to offer and it’s all your fault mate. But thanks as I am loving them all. Hmmm wonder whether Santa might have a copy of this for me on Christmas Day as I have had my eye on this for some time? Keep up the good work!!

[@BoxofDelights]

Thank you ! Happy Christmas to you !

[@marktattersall9149]

@@BoxofDelights Is this game available in retail? I got it through KS. The publisher was Victory Point Games, who, if I remember rightly, were absorded by a company that subsequently shedded the VPG people.

[@BoxofDelights]

Yes, this one is available at retail. VPG is now part of TableTopTycoon, the same company who owns Starling Games (Everdell, Black Orchestra).

[@bernardgodfrey3499]

Great play through. I'm a big fan of Jules Verne, is the game evocative of the novel 20000 leagues under the sea, it does seem to be. I just want confirmation before..*sigh* committing.

[@jameycribbs]

Yes! It is very evocative. The artwork is SO thematic: the beautiful line drawings on the cards that look like illustrations from an old version of the book; the typeface used on a lot of the text on the board; the flavor text on the cards which is taken directly from the book; the card actions make sense in context of the card flavor text; the beautiful ship illustrations on the counters. Just the whole game, to me, evokes the theme of the novel.

[@bernardgodfrey3499]

I feared this would be the case, oh well another one added to the collection. Thanks for the reply :)

[@zottirgen]

Is there a reason you didn't get the Hydro Drive at the start? It's one of the best upgrades in the game.

[@BoxofDelights]

primarily just to show people that you don't have to. Most of my videos are meant to be learn to play as we play type things . Also, I figured I didn't really need to with the strategy I wanted to play.

[@mdcs1992]

Another high quality, informative and absorbing video. For once, you haven't made me buy the game....I already have it. Not wanting to be greedy for more videos but I see Comancheria on your shelf. Would you ever do a play through? I haven't got it. Not found it available but it has excellent reviews on You Tube. Thanks so much again for your work.

[@BoxofDelights]

Hi. Thank you ! Comancheria? Yes, it's definitely on my "to-do" list. Maybe one for 2020... !

[@steelbeard151]

Are you playing the second edition? Retail? Or are some of your components kickstarter only?

[@BoxofDelights]

2nd Edition retail

[@vassdaniel4784]

Ez a magyar fordítás döbbenetes! :S

[@holysmoke8439]

a bit fiddly I have to get back to my electric football practice..big game this weekend.lol

[@Quincy_Morris]

This is painful to watch as someone who understands the basic strategy in this game.
