Board Game Reviews Ep #84: PANDEMIC: FALL OF ROME

[@raisinsun4328]

I find it interesting how pandemic is more of an engine for games now, there have been so many versions and a lot have absolutely no relation to pandemics

[@liampoulton-king7479]

I'm honestly pretty uncomfortable with a game framing quote unquote "barbarians" as analogous to diseases. I have no idea why you'd even call this game pandemic, but I'm not a fan.

@@liampoulton-king7479 Lighten up, Francis.

[@liampoulton-king7479]

@@NoumenalSoup no thanks

[@richardfinney4681]

Because it uses the game systems inspired by Pandemic. It's like how the call of duty games are called 'Call of Duty' despite arguably having nothing to do with duty, it's about the recognizable tag so people roughly understand the gameplay. Of course they're going to want to relate it with Pandemic cause that game was hugely successful, and how else could they have done that than how they did?

[@liampoulton-king7479]

@@richardfinney4681 "From the makers of Pandemic" or "Pandemic presents". Your call of duty analogy seems pretty tenuous.

but it was an epidemic if it was only in Rome and it wasn't worldwide plus Covid only kills people that are old and have bad immune systems oh and the doctors are saying a person died from covid if they have covid and died not from covid because it gets them more money.

Woah, Pandemic looks fun to play!!! My SO's family and friends love to play board games a lot, so I'll see if they'd be interested in playing. But thank you for making these reviews, SungWon!!! Looking forward to more recommendations!! 😄

[@aidanloewen2712]

Check out the original Pandemic as well. Its a little more straightforward, but very challenging on hard difficulties

[@ceejayelina5927]

@@aidanloewen2712 I'll make sure to check out the original Pandemic first and foremost! Thank you for suggesting that to me~ My SO's family and friends would probably enjoy the challenge since it gets pretty intense we all play, hehe.

[@comp.lex4]

Slight rules error: To be invaded, _either_ it must already have cubes _or_ the previous city has cubes. You demonstrate it as if both requirements need to be met; barbarians move much more quickly than that, and also sack cities a lot less :)

[@frostyflames7864]

Can substitute condensed milk for evaporated milk?

[@octanegamer1576]

Frosty Flames condensed milk is much more sweeter and thicker than evaporated milk, I would probably just use whole milk instead

This pandemic was so much cooler according to this game

I love pandemic! Still working on Legacy 😅

[@aidanloewen2712]

So much reading and out-of-game decision making... After a 2.5 hour game and discussion we just made it to March from the previous month. Its still quite a cool take on the original though. We are having fun with it

[@dr.gamr3813]

Just wait till the second one, that's when it gets interesting

[@AthexTube]

Really loving the Board Game review series!

[@alypialpha2712]

I got this game for my boyfriend during Christmas, and we probably love this game more than the original! “Pandemic” is more a mechanic than anything, but the mechanic works really well for this game.

[@bowlingboi9633]

How appropriate

are the card titles written in Times New Roman? would be amazing if so lmao.

Sooooo pandemic but with barbarians

[@mroverkill6983]

Love your vids

I have the original version pandemic it is good and not going to lie this is great and I would love to play this.

[@arnoldbuskftw]

Getting annoyed by how slightly misplaced every single city seems to be

[@GreMnMlin]

The pain is real

[@shredtildeath777]

If Rome was so good and powerful how come there isn’t a Rome 2 ?

[@albertdutzman8292]

Brooo there was a rome 2(Byzantium) and a spin off called Russia (Russia claims to be the third roman empire)

[@Nilo1310]

Another spinoff would be the Holy Roman Empire Czar = Kaiser = Caesar

[@doyalthemelomaniac8185]

Just bought Borderlands 3. Chose FL4K for the sole purpose that he was voiced by you and you’re one of my favorite youtubers, haha. I’m a bit late to the party, but excellent work.

[@aaronhrahsel6147]

[@piliciarrocca6954]

Thanks for the video! I was actually wondering what happens if after a revolt card you need to invade a city with three barbarian cubes where there is a fort, a pawn and one legion. I cannot find what rules applies to this case. Or what really happens if you have only a fort and a invasion of barbarians. If you do so, some help would be much appreciated 🙏🏽🥹

Dont know if you'll see this comment but I love your recommendations and reviews. But I have one for you, dont know if you own it or already know about it but hellapagos is such a fun easy to understand game I recently purchased and think you would enjoy. It's also fast paced most rounds end in 20 mintues or less

[@tetraedri_1834]

It really depends on the group whether the game is fun or feels meaningless. I've had both experiences :P.

[@hobiisun4661]

if you dont have proZD humor you have no humorrrrrrrrrrrrr :>

[@BMVfilms]

Ugh dice combat.... at least the character abilities and cards make it reasonable. the rest of the mechanics seem interesting with the recruitment to help differentiate from classic pandemic. I love the whole defend your land thing

[@Nightenstaff]

I haven't played this one, but I'm certainly not thrilled with the idea of adding dice to a Pandemic-like game. Adding another random element to a game where you're already cursing the randomness seems like it would be overwhelming. While I would still play this if it hit the table of my gaming group, I don't think I'll be asking for it.
