Unboxing Tapestry Fantasies & Futures, Also A Civilization Focus on The Illuminati - The Mill

[@JEV03]

Haha the Illuminati highlight was fun with the thematic presentation… almost felt like a commercial! You could do a series KZbin shorts with a “this civ is right for you if…” using that same tone. I’ll be honest, I don’t usually watch unboxings so I came just for the civ highlight, lol.

[@TheMillShow]

Glad you enjoyed it! (Not the unboxing.. ha!)

[@caroljohnson3686]

Thanks! We might have a series planned😉. Keep an eye out this weekend.

[@Noobwater]

These new Civilization and Capital City mats seem super strong! Excited to play with them!

[@TheMillShow]

I’m eager to start hearing other thoughts about them too.

[@jenoneuph]

Thank you so much for this video! I loved seeing the cards more in detail! 😁

[@TheMillShow]

I'm so glad!

[@330nate]

Will you be showcasing the custom insert?

[@TheMillShow]

I don’t have a copy yet. It wasn’t a Stonemaier product, so it wasn’t sent by way of the sponsorship. I did buy it though. I’m considering doing a time lapse build, but even if I decide against that, I’ll definitely show off the insert.

[@PurpleSmurfProds]

I'm sure your wife was happy to hear "I probably wouldn't have tore it but that's fine"! :D

[@TheMillShow]

She doesn’t watch The Mill. lol

[@BillyIndiana]

Nice👍

[@TheMillShow]

Thanks ✌

[@Soloohara]

Why in the envelpoe and not box as usual?

[@TheMillShow]

Great question! Stonemaier has been working on multiple sustainability efforts. Because of the nature of this particular expansion and how it'll all just get tossed in the base game box, the choice was made to go with an envelope because it's far more environmentally friendly.

[@Soloohara]

@@TheMillShow thank you

[@chrisvoysey3546]

Nice unenveloping! Did they send you the new insert as well, and will you be doing a show and tell with that?

[@TheMillShow]

I was not sent the insert. I’ll be ordering one on March 1st though.

[@jamessmith1274]

How have you stored this expansion? Does it fit with another expansion or base game?

[@TheMillShow]

Hey there. Good question, it fits in the base game box.

[@Soloohara]

why colored nails?

[@TheMillShow]

Because my wife likes to paint her nails? Why ask someone about their appearance?

[@Soloohara]

i didn't know it was your wife nails since you're using your voce over the video? normally people unbox things using their own voice while unboxing it. You look a litte bit aggresive, what's wrong with asking something about the appearance? is that a taboo in your country? I asked because recently i'm seeing many males with painted nails like girls used to do / do and i tought it was a tiktok new trend or something@@TheMillShow

[@TheMillShow]

This appears to be a cultural difference. I believe I mentioned in the video that my wife is assisting me in the video, but perhaps you jumped to the good stuff - I don't blame you there. Since you appear to be asking in good faith, I'll answer the same. I met your energy. You came to a board game channel, and instead of asking about board games, or the content of the video itself, you chose to leave a comment on my (wife's) appearance. While I don't personally paint my nails, my son does. I'm a big believer in self-care and doing what makes you feel good because the world and all the suffering out there will drag you down quick. If you want to paint your nails because it feels good to you? It hurts no one. Do what makes you happy. When my girls were small, they'd want to paint my nails and give me makeup and I let them. I'm secure in my masculinity and sexuality and I don't believe either makeup or nail polish threatens me in the least bit. I don't care when I see rainbow heads of hair, or half-shaved heads. If people aren't hurting themselves or others, we shouldn't care what they wear, how they do their hair, how they express their creativity, or what self-care routine makes them feel good. We should want a happy population of people who are happy and feel good about themselves. Another thing to consider is you and I are not friends, or familiar with each other, that I'm aware of, so if I did paint my nails and a friend asked me 'why colored nails?' I'd have a different response than if a stranger decided to critique my appearance. It's one thing for a thing to not be for you, it's another to believe that your belief is the right one and others have to explain deviating from your expectations. Hope this was helpful in understanding why I responded the way I did. Take care @Soloohara

Tapestry ends on a bad note. These "fantasies" feel off from the theme, and the custom insert from folded space is a letdown compared to the Nesting Box for Wingspan. I'm not even going to buy Fantasies & Futures because every time I'd draw something like "Faefolk" or "Genies" I'd just re-draw. 😢 Great unboxing video though. Was able to read every card.
