Quest for El Dorado Review - JonGetsGames

[@apokai]

I'm taking 2 minutes to say that I really like your review format. Definitively subscribed to your channel. ... and buying this game too! :)

[@danielengel4593]

One of these games with literally no flaws whatsoever, exceptional design.

[@AndrewWatsonPiano]

You're my favorite reviewer! Clean, concise and smart format. Keep it up!

[@JonGetsGames]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video :) Unfortunately I am not making this style of review video anymore, you can see why here if you are curious: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipa6aINsir2ZfcU

[@stefangustavsson9]

Thanks for another really thorough and useful review. This board game is now on my "to buy" list. Yes subscribing. Like your Positive, Neutral and Negative list.

[@christophersteele2531]

This is an excellent review! Thank you! The new base game comes with 3 additional cards sets for the marketplace. I believe it's called the Promo pack.

[@jomibaco]

Thank for your videos Jon. It helps a lot. Really like your format and review + playtrought in two videos. Regards from Spain.

[@gordo6908]

that intro box flip was slick

[@soydanielchung]

I really like your reviews. This is my second month in the hobby and I have seen a bunch of channels. So far, you are my favorite reviewer.

[@JonGetsGames]

Welcome to modern boardgaming :) Unfortunately I have some bad news for you though, I stopped making reviews like this over a year ago. I am now focused on creating tutorial style full playthroughs, but I do still give my subjective opinion on new games I play in a monthly impressions vlog.

[@soydanielchung]

@@JonGetsGames I really admire your work, keep it up! :)

[@clumsydad7158]

Great explanation... I've been wanting to like a new R.K. game for awhile and looks like this is the one! Very clever yet simple dynamics of deck building, race, nice mechanic of how new cards are chosen. Looks like I'll be adding this one shortly, will be great to play with my family/friend group! Ty

[@snow8624]

Just sorted by new wondering if anybody has asked if you were going to do a playthrough/review of Heroes and Hexes, the games new expansion. Certainly didn't expect to see you to reply to a comment on a nearly 2 year old video, very cool of you. Absolutely love your videos by the way.

[@JonGetsGames]

At this point I don't see a playthrough of the expansion happening unfortunately. I don't have a copy and I only have so much time to make these videos so I tend to focus on creating them for totally new games instead of revisiting older ones with expansions. Thanks for the compliment, it's always great to hear that someone enjoys my videos :)

[@Dude_on_a_Map]

I'm hyped for this one

[@zottleporcupine8722]

Great review 👍🏻

[@ryanbrown9102]

I've watched your neutral point, and yet, the expansions don't seems to appear in your bgg collection..

[@JonGetsGames]

Yeah, I have been meaning to pick those up but haven't gotten around to it. I certainly would if I see them pop up on sale.

[@Oncus2]

This is a pretty good review. Lot's of useful info

[@JonGetsGames]

Thanks! I'm glad you found it informative :)

[@phillipmillman3290]

Seems like a simplified mechanic but more complicated map versio of Lewis and Clark. is it different enough worthy to buy? I really like Lewis and Clark..

[@cursivecurses]

This game takes ~45 minutes, while L&C I feel like take 2+ hours with 4 people. LC is much more complicated.

[@phillipmillman3290]

Derek Thompson is it different enough to add to the collection?

[@cursivecurses]

I would say so. LC has that rhythm to it where you have to rest, while El Dorado has an escalation like most deckbuilders right up until the end. Also, there's no resource management in El Dorado. I like El Dorado much more but would hardly compare the two. El Dorado in my mind was just a comparison to Clank (and El Dorado wins IMO).

[@cursivecurses]

Also, the preorder price on CSI is $22.99, hard to argue with that price.

[@Ataraxy123]

A better comparison is Salmon Run.

[@eksmad]

AMazing review of an amazing game. I love it so much!

[@Juegosmontt]

Perfecta explicación

[@gatorchomp9607]

Idk about 18 cards being too low for a deckbuilder. Dominion uses 10.

[@gatorchomp9607]

Plus I'm sure there will be expansions

[@JonGetsGames]

Theres a big difference though because Dominion has 25 different cards in the box and you choose a random 10 out of those which provides a ridiculous number of combinations vs El Dorado which has the same exact 18 in each game.

[@DocMaieuti]

cool

[@TomBartol]

cam somebody make good 4+ player game on this planet please

[@clumsydad7158]

[@Metalkaracsony]
