I love how thematic this game feels, specifically the part where you get to join other players and choose whether to share stories or bond with them. it gives a cozy feeling like gathering around a campfire and telling stories. I like how you can select the type of adventure you want to pursue. Trinket and Ability cards are also pretty thematic in what they do. I didn't expect to like it and quite frankly, a few minutes into the video, I almost didn't especially since it's not a looker (I think). I doubt that the theme would come through the way it should if playing with 2 players though. As always, thanks for the great teach Jon!

@12:06 "And if they don't, then nothing happens there"... translation: "And if they don't, the person they were supposed to rescue is mauled by the cougar."

[@JonGetsGames]

Ha, yep! yikes!

[@Drake64]

Seems like a lovely game that can go cozy or competitive depending on the table.

I had not heard of this game before and wasn't that interested. But wow! It looks really interesting and thematic!

[@StevenStJohn-kj9eb]

@39:45 - that symbol seems to match the symbol for inspiration, not the symbol for experience. EDIT: I see you did correct that a bit later.

[@morgaknightgames]

This seems like a really interesting game, and quite a bit more involved than other nature/exploration games in my collection. Thank you for sharing, I hadn't been aware of this one!

[@megalodon2012]

This seems very thematic with some good decisions. Thanks for sharing!

[@michaelbowling2348]

This game looks delightfully cozy - even with the bears and Bigfoot!

[@Bigpapaseifu]

Looks like a fun game. Thanks for introducing it.

Hi John at 39:35 when the green player visits the campsite, and gets 3 benefits, i am confused a bi t the 2nd and 3rd benefits symbols at the bottom. You said it was to gain one experience, but the shape of the symbol makes me think it should be refresh one inspiration. Again...not sure on this, but shape of the symbol matches the inspiration. OK you caught it a minute later when your player joined the campground.

54:45 what about orange having 4 wanderlust tokens in havens?

[@JonGetsGames]

They would get 4 points.

Hi Joh my wife and I literally cant play a game without your play through teaches! Seriously love your content. Any chance you could Hegemony with Crisis and Control? We would gladly donate $100 to your channel if so!

[@JonGetsGames]

Thank you so much for the support and the kind words! Regarding Hegemony, I have yet to play that game but I am very curious to do so. I don't own it but a friend does. I can't guarantee it'll get a video, but making a playthru of it could be fascinating at some point in the future.
