Thank you for the complete review of the game and the book. The cover of the game looks so appealing so I was very curious about this game

Somewhat ‘late to the party’ here with commenting from when you had originally published this video a few months ago, I know…not without its flaws, this is a Stonemaier Game that we do still like to play alot in our family! We currently own the retail version/edition, but I’m definitely looking to upgrade to the Collector’s version/edition components. …I’m a big fan of the books and super impressed by this game’s quality of card graphics/artwork (and, a lot/100+ of them, too)! In my opinion, the accuracy of the character depictions in the card graphics/artwork are on point and top notch; alot of attention to detail, for sure, and stayed true, I think, to the books (Fitchner’s bubble gum, etc). Thanks for the great video on this game! - Howie

Thanks for commenting! After this video I read the next two books in the series and loved them. Came back to the game and it means even more now. I agree, they put some love into this one.

Good review. Now I need to look into reading the book. Thanks, Jimmy!

Buckle up! The books are a wild ride. Since this video I have read the next two books in the series. So good.

Good review as always. Though I agree the theme is not super strong, you do need to finish the first three books to understand some of the synergies with the cards. The next two books are great so you should read them regardless. I believe that you will enjoy the game more knowing the characters, and how they work together.

Great to know! I am a few chapters into Golden Son now!

Swinging back to tell you that you are right about the next two books :) So good. I am scared to start the fourth book. I need to play the game again and see if I can feel all the synergies better now.

@@boardgamecloset Glad you liked them. I am in the middle of book 5 now. Enjoy and thanks for what you do.
