Skyrise might be the game of the year - and it's only May!

Played it tonight and I thought it was absolutely fantastic. Wooden edition with wood tokens was SUPERB, and the gameplay was SUPER unique. I love love loved it.

Glad to hear the wooden edition is great too!

Thanks for the video, can't wait to play!

[@brainsongames]

It’s a lot of fun!

[@ScrapMetal-j9x]

On man that’s a good game can’t wait for review

[@brainsongames]

The title gives it away.

[@nunusmith01]

Absolutely love this game even my in-laws love playing it

[@brainsongames]

It’s so great!

Yea they hit it out of the park ! Agree maybe the expansion will make the islands a touch bigger and yes maybe 15 bonus cards instead of 4 but very minor tweaks could easily be add for 2025 expansion or something Thanks Dr. Brian

[@brainsongames]

Thanks for watching. I’m looking forward to playing this again!

Well, I didn't think it was game of the year material when it was first released as Metropolys which I bought. I really like the game, but there are a lot of good games coming out this year I think are better. I'm not convinced the new version makes the game jump to elite status.

[@brainsongames]

I was surprised by how much our group loved it. More than one ordered their own copy - it’s definitely a contender for us, but you’re right, there are always more games to try. What are you most looking forward to?

@@brainsongames I don't want to be hard on the game or your enjoyment of it because I've played Metropolys a lot over the years. It is really good. I don't know if the main scoring rules have changed, but I did not think they were perfectly balanced in the original. In fact, when I laid everything out I could see it was not, but whatever. It is a revision so I have a preference for original ideas, but maybe that's not fair - if it's a great game it should be labelled as such. I say that while anticipating the new Cyclades (I sold the original for it), Unconscious Mind, Gnome Hollow, Wondrous Creatures, World Order, Undaunted 2200, haven't bought Faraway yet, love Harmonies . . . I feel like this is a fabulous year for board games and I don't see Metropolys/Skyrise contending for the "GOTY" status. That's just me. Totally respect your opinion.

[@brainsongames]

It’s a golden age for games for sure! All I can say is our experience with Skyrise was great. I’m excited about Forges of Ravenshire, Thiefdom (because I love Clans of Caledonia), and Fractured Sky.

​@@brainsongamesMore proof this is an awesome year for games!

[@pigasos15]

not a game of the year. Its smart and interesting, but not that innovative to justify the claim.

[@brainsongames]

Fair enough. We’ve had extremely fun game sessions with it and lots of laughs!

Sadly, game is filled with w0k3 rubbish
