The Great Wall - Board Game Review

[@atomicall]

This is really my favorite boardgame channel. Straight to the point, clean shots, and great explanations. Keep up the good work y'all!

[@AlliesorEnemies]

Thank you very much!!

I backed the reprint based on your praise in a previous video. Excited to try it but dreading the learn and teach. Saw the recommended video to learn it is an hour 15 and groaned. Oh well that's a problem for next year.

[@AlliesorEnemies]

We downloaded the revamped rulebook from BGG and that actually made it not too bad. If you have the new version it may even come with that one. It is world's better.

@@AlliesorEnemies I'll give it a shot. Generally I'm allergic to rule books and can't make it through a whole page without glossing over. It's so bad if there's not a good instructional video already out ill generally pass on the game.

I didn't pull the trigger during the reprint, but I was very tempted. I just had a few other games I was backing and couldn't justify the price tag. Hopefully I'll get a chance at some point! Love your videos, by the way. Thanks!

[@AlliesorEnemies]

It is costly, and a big box, so that is fair. Still it is worth a play.

@@AlliesorEnemies I'll see if anyone I know is picking it up! Thanks again for the content! :)

Great review! For another great two player semi-coop I suggest you try tracking down AuZtralia!

[@AlliesorEnemies]

That is a Martin Wallace game we haven't played. We love a few of his others.

I've played 2 games but all I got was a confused 'alright let's play a random card and build a wall and some soldiers'. There was hardly a game there, I felt. These glowing reviews really confuse me.

[@AlliesorEnemies]

Interesting alternate take

[@ryan_here_we_go]

I'm really on the fence... wall about this one. Worker placement, as a mechanism, can feel more like management than fun. Would be interesting to see how this game plays and if it feels like work.

[@AlliesorEnemies]

It definitely doesn't feel like work especially since most of the actions ultimately lead to soldiers and wall building. We need to get you playing more worker placements. There are a lot of super fun ones out there.
