Should You Buy Harmonies? How-to-Play and Review! 🦁

[@GregHu77]

3:55 Isn't there a third Field-Mountain-Mountain to score??

[@BoardGameDave]

Oh my word, you’re 100% correct! Yes, I should have scored all three of the foxes on that turn! 🦊 Great catch-I’ll pin your comment so hopefully other people will see it! Thank you!

[@Brackenberriespvp]

Thanks for this! You're doing a great job. Keep up the good work!

[@BoardGameDave]

Wow, thank you for the comment! I appreciate the encouragement! ☺️

I love this game! It’s so beautiful and has just enough crunchiness to make it a good time. I’ve only played solo and at 2, so I felt the playtime was perfect.

[@BoardGameDave]

Hey, Lisa! I’m so glad you’ve had a chance to play Harmonies as well! ☺️ I totally agree with you about the “just enough crunchiness”! And I love playing it a 2P too-Hannah and I can get through a game in about 30 minutes, which is perfect!

hi there, if you're a solo player, i made one that doesn't requires any printing, and only just what's in the box ! I love this game and even more in solo with this homemade mode i made just recently ! it became my 1st and favorite "cozzy" game for solo plays. It's fast (20 25min per game) puzzly and dynamic (with the addition of Few powers you can use if you have unlocked them) I already loved Cascadia, but since it became DIgital, Harmonies just replaced it in my collection, as it is a bit more crunchier and tactical. I really love this Harmonies Cheers from belgium !

I like the solo game included in the game! But I assume yours has you playing against an automa opponent? Where can I find your solo variant? ☺️ It is such a nice and cozy game-my wife and I actually just played it again this morning!

[@boardgamecloset]

Thanks for the review! Just picked this one up. I think my family will love it.

[@BoardGameDave]

I hope you’re right! ☺️ It’s been a big hit among all my gamer groups so far! It’s a nice one for just me and Hannah, too!

[@BoardGameDave]

Wow! That's a very kind comment-thank you! ☺️

[@BillyIndiana]

Great overview and review! We've only played twice but have enjoyed it 👍

[@BoardGameDave]

Thanks for checking out the review, Billy! I've gotten to play it six times now but Hannah and I are both very eager to get it to the table more! ☺️ I'm glad you were able to snag a copy for yourself as well!

[@corinnajuras-tabletopsavants]

Wonderful review! I love how you remain positive even when describing some potentially negative aspects of the game. I don't think I ever noticed your 8 point system before but I'll have to start incorporating a version of that for myself since it does seem to capture everything

[@BoardGameDave]

Tabletop Savants! Hi! 👋🏼 Thank you so much for your kind comment! I definitely do try to be positive and look for the good in a game for sure! ☺️ I do like my rating system although I haven't really tweaked it since I started doing reviews back in 2021! Do you think there's anything I might be missing? 🤔

[@steliospapadopoulos4099]

Thank you for the amazing review. Don't forget to take a breath while reviewing:)

[@BoardGameDave]

Haha, thank you for the comment and for the reminder! 🤣 My wife overhears me filming sometimes and often reminds me to slow down! I don't know why I talk so fast when I'm recording... but I'll work on it! ☺️

[@BoardgamesforOne]

Beautiful art. Love the studio too.

[@BoardGameDave]

It's got such great art, Mike... and a really good solo mode! I think I'll definitely shortlist this one for a Solo Play Sunday in the future! ☺️ And yes, Hannah outdid herself with the studio! She did that as a surprise for me while I was away at Level Up Retreat! Painted and decorated and everything! 🥰

[@BoardgamesforOne]

@@BoardGameDave she did. Well done.

[@BoardGameDave]

Thanks, Mike! I'll pass that on to her! ☺️

[@KevinHernandez03]

I've been wanting for this to come back in stock in Miniaturemarket since they have good prices and to get free shipping with other games

[@BoardGameDave]

I hope it won’t take too long for the game to be back in stock! 😰 From what I’ve heard they’re currently working on a second printing of the game-I wonder if the game ended up being much more popular than they expected! (And Miniature Market is a great idea; I’ve always had a good experience with them!)

[@VictorEnriqueEspinozaLanyi]

Do this game and Cascadia can coexist in a Collection? Or I should get just one of them? THanks for the video!

[@BoardGameDave]

I’m always a proponent of a small collection in general, but I think you could make a case for having both in your collection! Just depends how selective you want to be and how much you’re willing to have similar games in your collection! 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@patrickvdheide3906]

Hey Dave, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your reviews! You bring such a genuine enthusiasm and joy to every game you cover. It's so refreshing and inspiring to watch. I’d love to know-what’s your secret to staying so positive and upbeat? Thanks for bringing so much fun and insight into the board gaming world

[@BoardGameDave]

Wow, Patrick... thank you for such an encouraging and wholesome comment! I appreciate you checking out the videos and for taking the time to write all that! ☺️ I don't think I have a secret to "staying so positive and upbeat" but I suppose it does help that I'm genuinely excited to play the games I review and I enjoy sharing that enthusiasm with others! Thanks again and I hope you have a great weekend! ☀️

[@rachelhill3872]

Harmonies is so fuuunnnnn

[@BoardGameDave]

Harmonies IS so much fun!! ☺️ Next time we're together we'll have to play it again! I'll make sure to bring it up to NH with us!
