Rise of Augustus Review - with Sam Healey

[@greggsmith8053]

With the wild card token, the player drawing the token does not choose the symbol. Instead, each player uses it to play any symbol they choose.

Please explain the main mechanic or general gameplay first in your reviews. As someone who knew nothing about this game, minutes 4-10:30 of this review were very confusing until you explained the simple bingo mechanic for placing legions.

Sam, Love the games you are showing love too... like this one which is a friend's and family favorite!

Great review, Sam. Very thorough. I appreciate the sample gameplay. That helps out a lot. More reviewers should do the same. I just added ROG to my must have list. Thanks and well done!

I agree with others in that it's confusing when you take so long to get to the central mechanics and gameplay; everything before it is just scattered puzzle pieces to us. But, on the flipside, I really like how you actually go through and demonstrate gameplay, because normally I'd have to watch Rahdo or Watch It Played to see that.

Hey Sam, of course you find yourself strangely attracted to this game and its BINGO mechanic. You're entering into that age-range sweet spot for that game...

[@suntzugames]

I agree, a great gateway game! I you can help being caught up in it ;) Even for the more hardcore gamers, it's one of those games that is good to start the evening with, before moving on to the 4xs and what not.

Nice work... Keep 'em coming. :D
