Restart: An Ambitious Design with Mixed Results -- Here's Our Early Impressions | Board Game Preview

[@JackCaufman]

Thanks for the video. The game is exactly to my liking. The basic mechanism works like a TV and I can put on any dystopian movie I like. I want luck; I play with dice, I want more strategy, I play something else. I saw in the campaign a while ago that they have a board that helps you choose what you want to play. In fact, it looks to me like the game is so well set up and balanced that it looks like it gives you the ability to make the dystopia you like on your own. Of course I backed all-in!

At 3:09, Your future self and your past self cannot occupy the same place else it would cause a time-space continuum disaster. Did they just snatch a major plot point of the Jean-Claude Van Damme movie……”Time Cop”? From Time Cop: If you travel back, you can look at yourself, and even talk to yourself, but you cannot touch yourself because “the same matter cannot occupy the same space” at the same time. I’m here for it!! Love the theme of this game!!!

Thanks for the review. It was really helpful because actually my partner and me like these kind of games where we can peacefully do our own thing and it is not too head to head. Love your channel!

Thanks for your thoughts on this one, ladies. I was not familiar with this title at all!

Thank you for the review. I don't recall if you mentioned this at the start, but did you try the game with 3 or 4 people? I'm primarily asking because your comments about turn length have me concerned and I'm curious how much worse they get with more players (or if you were already talking about a full game). I'm also a bit curious about how an increased player count would impact moving on, and manipulating, the grid. Edit: Followup question, the campaign lists the different futures as having different durations, with Pandemia being notably shorter and Oceanrealm being a bit longer. How much of an impact would you say they really have and does it just effect overall game time or does it also impact turn length?

I was really looking forward for this game but it's looks way too abstract. I'd try it but I don't see a reason to back it.
