Tom's Boring Unboxing Video - March 26, 2024

[@BoardGameHype]

"Sounds like a cartoon movie... Open Season" lol Tom I love you. Open Season is a fantastic animated cartoon film! :) That Primal though...

[@Lordjunon]

That primal stuff is way too much and on the verge of stupidity and ridiculousness

[@MusicDude690]

Definitely past the verge

[@thereal4579]

to each their own

[@wolflarson71]

Curious about some of those Rio Grande games.

[@matheusfonseca2826]

That Fortune and Glory cover is wild 😂

[@stevenmill9887]

Expert unboxing and rambling

[@Dthamilaye]

That size of the Primal...

[@dianebusby7047]

I bet there's like, a gazillion parts to it!

[@Dthamilaye]

@@dianebusby7047 There are a bunch of really big boss monster "miniatures". Not the size of Cmon Cthulhu or Galactus, but still pretty big ones. If this game would have had standees (acrylic or cardboard), I bet it could have fit into the "Sleeves" box complete :).

[@paulwilkins4332]

You're gonna need a bigger box...

[@brucebush5744]

Taking Primal along to the next games night looks like it could be a challenge.

[@bricelory9534]

Nah, renting a U-Haul is surprisingly easy 😉

[@nshaw1299]

Challenge perhaps, but if you play in the background 'Prince Ali' from the Aladdin film as you're bringing it, it will make sense to everyone...

[@jaggerzz]

Tom, i'm writing this here in hopes you will reply soon. I've been looking into games like frosthaven and gloomhaven, I'm trying to find a game like these ( or one of these) that has some pretty lengthy gameplay, but the rules aren't too complicated. To be honest frosthaven looks pretty complicated. but I would like your suggestion for which one of these types of games you think best fits this. thanks

I hate the trend of releasing a game with many expansions before the base game has had time to be out for at least a year to get playthroughs. I get they are just modules for the game, but I still prefer just a base game, and then add more later, improve the game, fix some bugs.

[@Legendforged]

Yeah its a huge reason why I have little fomo for kickstarter releases. Doesn't feel like a base game when it can ship with a dozen more gameplay related boxes (minis/etc are there own thing). It just feels like I've gotten a piece of the game as designed. Just like video games these days, just give me a completed game and then start working on extra content or fixes/second editions.

[@denvergoudeau]

Still waiting to get the shipping notification for my copy of Primal :,,,(

[@sajuro81419]

its going to get harder and harder to review games when every game takes 2 years to play

[@bricelory9534]

I'd laugh if Inventions was 60-150 minutes (per player)

[@scottarmstrong8178]

So glad I canceled my Primal pledge.

[@gregorycook3550]

Dungeons of Doria

[@ThymeKeeper]

Isn't hating your friends contradictory?

[@gregorycook3550]

Sprue that
