Through the Desert Review - with Tom Vasel

[@Radien]

You touched on one of the things that most impresses me about this game: It's a game that handles 3+ players very well but plays *equally* well with 2 players, with very, very few changes to the rules. That is a very difficult balancing act to master - most 3+ player games don't play well with 2 players, and most games that play well with 2 players either don't work well with 3+ players, or don't support 3+ at /all./ So yeah. Cheers, Through the Desert.

I love that you are actually using the new gavel/hammer.

[@RhinoBarbarian]

By the might of Tom Vasel!

[@pellungrobe]

The hammer at the end XD

[@HerpinThaDerp]

ah yes, Reiner Knizia's Thirsty Twerps

[@billcook4768]

Is this the first use of the new hammer? Awesome!

[@mobileuploads3623]

I'm wondering if I need to get this if I have the older edition.

[@TheMrE]

Is there an issue with the color balance in this video? That rider is clearly yellow, not orange.

[@JaKamps]

The Yellow piece looked White to me.

[@sortehuse]

The new board looks good

[@ericerwin2517]

Is there not a better way to hold things up to the camera so that they are actually in focus?

[@ianoble]

Eric Erwin This has been a problem for a while. Lots of blurry cards and tokens. :(

[@kylebraby2357]

That's why they should do separate shots of the board and pieces (would not take long) but the way they pump these out is prolly why it's easier to just hold it up real quick in focus or not. I do agree though that this is an awesome opportunity it's to up the cinematic quality of this show. Takes a little more time and effort but worth it for the viewers sake.

[@jpower2010]

Wow the art looks really good! Might have to pick this one up again.

[@JaKamps]

The box design, & as well as the pt tokens & placement restrictions reminds me of Tigris & Euphrates, another Knizia game. However this also reminds me of Ticket To Ride. My Mom might like this, more than I, then.

“Yellow” 🐪

[@sdhokie]

I for some reason actually get the white and yellow color names mixed up often. It's weird.

[@dak9592]

Actually, it has been two decades since the game has come out.

[@Steve-L]

I tried this game a couple years ago. I wasn't a fan. But it does look nice.

[@goyasolidar]

This game review made me go look for candy.

[@northlakeghost]

Poor camels!!! That hammer came down hard.

[@JaKamps]

That hammer is massive!

[@Willow_Ufg]

Ouch!

[@DJF1984]

That hammer! Rofl

[@Dalmatinac3]

Great game.!

[@jari-pekkasuuronen2462]

It`s an ok game, but the camels` colour palette is absolutely horrible for colour blind people, it actually makes the game unplayable. I`m sad they didn`t choose to fix it. :(

[@torjip]

Dice Tower judgment? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! hehehe
