Very useful commentary. I watched your (excellent) playthrough and thought, "Well, this is neat in a lot of ways, but there's no way I'm going to buy it." And that's entirely about the obvious amount of bookkeeping vs gameplay.

Yeah, it is pretty evident from the playthrough and you really feel it while you play. I still want to try it multiplayer. I think that is where it will work much better. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for the overview. I've been on the fence about this game for quite some time. The theme intrigued me. I solo a lot so knowing this information really helps.

Always love your vids. Have this but haven’t played yet. It’ll be interesting if people will make variants to address your points.

Thanks for the nice comment. I'm glad you enjoy the videos. I'm sure the community will come up with great stuff -- they always do. But I'm happy keeping this as a light game that I can run for three inexperienced players. It can work in that environment and I'm sure many people will have fun with it. But it is hard not to think about what if could have been. Thanks for checking out the video!

There are multiple dice rolling when you breed more than one pup which makes the game feel a little more Yahtzee-ish.

Played my first solo game of this. I was not able to put the finger on what was amiss with this board game. You described perfectly what I was feeling. I’m gonna try it again tomorrow but I think I’m gonna let go of that game. I wanted soooo much to love that game, the thematic being so nice! Also, thanks for the playthrough, very helpful!

Thank you for your thoughts! What you‘re saying is just what I thought after watching your playthrough.

I appreciate you watching the playthrough! I think this will be an opinion shared by many within the hobby. But I know a lot of people will enjoy this, especially those that play with more inexperienced gamers. Hopefully I made it clear that I think the game is fun but I just wanted it to do more with what I felt was great potential. Thanks, Oliver!

I have FINALLY learned my lesson: No Kickstarters, WAIT for the reviews. This game looked so amazing that I was sooo close to backing it, and now I am happy I didn't. But damn those pups are cute....

I think this is the best approach. Unfortunately, the board game industry has decided to exploit consumers by going all in on crowdfunding in a way that it was never intended to be used. The result: it's impossible to get any accurate information about new games -- mostly because they no longer sell actual games, they sell the unenforceable PROMISE to make a game at some point in the future if you are lucky. It is an unsustainable model and it's slowly destroying the hobby. All consumers can do is try to protect themselves by avoiding the FOMO. Thanks for watching!

I really like this game! I’m not sure why u think the administration is so heavy… Ive played it solo and with 2 friends and they LOVED it! It’s so much fun rolling the dice and deciding what you’re going to do with ur dice.

@TotallyTabled Жыл бұрын

I think that is part of the problem -- what decisions are you really making with your dice? After you line everything up, many times the best thing to do is fairly obvious. Or your decision boils down to "do I want to an extra tail or extra bark?" The answer is usually -- can I complete a study level? The decision space is often so small and inconsequential. Luck is more important than making a clever decision. And by the time you have lined up your dice and then recorded the results, you've made a 15 sec decision that has created a minute or more of admin. The solo is worse because it is all admin. I'm not saying the game can't be fun. In fact, I said it was fun. But these problems hold it back. Thanks for watching!

Honestly I feel there is so many other games doing the same thing. Art, tick! For sure. As a pro artist the Art is great. But art is art, But as a game... I’m a bit “meh”.

@TotallyTabled Жыл бұрын

The art really is fantastic. I think there are some unique ideas here but they feel like either they needed some more time in the oven or they were well developed and then stripped down to meet some desired "gateway" or "mainstream" weight. Hard to say. Still a fun game and one that will work for a lot of people, especially if an experienced gamer can facilitate the game for the less experienced players. But I understand where you are coming from for sure. Thanks for watching, Steve!
