Great work with your videos dude. Concise and high quality. 😄

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Thanks mate 🙏

[@scyldscefing3913]

Have you played Gaia Project? How would you say the two compare?

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Not played it, Tim...didn’t feel the need to grab it as we like this one so much.

[@hillstreesandstreams]

I bought Terra Mystica off the back of your (and other) reviews and while we enjoyed it. On our first game earlier this week, I wasn't blown away as much as I thought I would be. I think this is mostly due to our game being about the rules rather than the game play & strategy and am looking forward to playing a follow up game now we have the basics under our belt. Once again. Thank you for your reviews. You've been my go to source for quality reviews for many years now.

I’ve never been blown away by any game after one play. Terra Mystica needs time for sure.

[@hillstreesandstreams]

Brass Birmingham & Agricola knocked our little cotton socks off on our first play and continue to do so after many plays. But yes, most games do take multiple plays to get through the rules and into the strategy before they become awesome.

Terra Mystica is garbage. An unbalanced, broken and unsalvageable mess.

@coltonbeatty6117 It actually isn’t

Love love love this game. I was wondering if you've tried gaia project since this review. I don't know what's changed in it.

[@BoardGameBollocks]

I’ve not played it. Hard to buy something that’s so similar innit.

[@skortyspice]

@@BoardGameBollocks For sure. It looks like it might be more focused on 1 and 4 players than 2 and 3, the board looks very big.

[@goblingon]

what is your opinion on gaia project though?

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Never played it mate

[@coltonbeatty6117]

This game is a piece of garbage

Sage like…

@@BoardGameBollocks Why shouldn't people be warned that this 'game' is over rated and even terrible?

[@BoardGameBollocks]

Saying a game is crap and not giving a reason isn’t a warning.
