The Witcher: Old World - Skellige Expansion Review

[@IlChatNoir17]

Just a note, it’s pretty clear on the rulebook that you cannot travel between islands. To do so need to go back to the continent then to another island.

[@organiccardboard]

Ahh we must have overlooked that! That makes more sense that way, thank you for pointing that out. Doesn't change the way we feel about that expansion though, in fact I'd say that makes it play even better! Sean apologized in advance on the video for being the rulebook reader, haha. (Sorry Sean! 😂)

[@PecktecGames]

Ahh shit that’s on me sorry Owen don’t know how I missed that. I’ll try to do better.

[@starsofsirius559]

​@@PecktecGamesmistakes happen and let's be honest, there's been a lot of confusion and mistakes reading the rule books on both core and expansions, from everyone lol. I know I've played rules wrong!

[@vroy2984]

Very nice video, so when's the legendary hunt review of each monster?

[@organiccardboard]

Ha I'll have to leave those to you! 😂 I had thought about wrapping up the rest of the expansions in one or maybe two videos.. We'll have to see. Thanks for watching!

[@AlaskaGuy71]

In the PC game they pronounce it ' Skelleh-gah '

[@organiccardboard]

Either way, it's fun to say, haha

[@korybrazille7057]

I would like to see you guys post an actual playthrough of the game ^^

[@organiccardboard]

We had ought to have these not-difficult-to-grasp rules down enough by this point, haha. We may. I may even do a solo one, I have a new overhead camera coming next week.

[@PecktecGames]

Only if Owen edits it lol. 😂

[@organiccardboard]

It's about time I do one 😅

[@tbowne05]

Are you guys going to be doing a review for legendary Hunt?

[@organiccardboard]

I may get around to it myself. I actually still haven't played that expansion yet but I do intend to. I have some videos I've been wanting to shoot but between a lot of recent events I've had to go to and a temporary addiction to Baldur's Gate 3 I've been slow to get anything done lately...

[@stoyantenchev9135]

Thank you for the video. Im looking into getting the base game only for starter, however I've noticed that during the KS there were some adventure packs included which add tons of exploration cards, do you by any chance have an idea where to get them from or whether they are included in the retail delux edition? Thanks

[@NECIORRO]

Adventure pack will be released as expansion in next year. Its not available in retail version.

[@organiccardboard]

Thanks for answering @NECIORRO. I didn't get a notification for this for some reason. I wasn't aware but I'm glad we know now!

[@garylaframboise2721]

Thanks for covering rhis expansion. What would you say about this expansion for solo players? I backed this game and considering getting this expansion but I am still on the fence. Thanks again and take care.

[@organiccardboard]

Hey thanks for watching! I really need to get in a solo game but as of yet I haven't had the opportunity to.. The best thing for solo, or multiplayer, I'd imagine is that it's adding a whole other stack of events. That and the extra islands to adventure to are going to add some well welcomed variety to future games.

[@garylaframboise2721]

@organiccardboard Thanks for the reply. It was much appreciated.

[@organiccardboard]

@garylaframboise2721 You're welcome, and thank you for the nice comments!

[@dza_kicuf]

This expansion makes you think more about your traveling phase since you can travel to islands only once per turn. It is really easy to implement. Siren (KSE)/Dagon fight is not too easy, not too hard either and is completely optional. When I play, there is no reason not to implement this expansion.

[@organiccardboard]

I totally agree!

[@plart2006]

Dagon is useless, no one would spend a turn to fight a monster without a chance to progress on a trophy bar, so we have a home rule that allows to fight him from any Skellige island

[@organiccardboard]

It does seem like a hard one to want to go for when everyone is racing their turns towards those trophies.. I could just see him giving an edge to set up for a final Witcher-to-Witcher fight.
