Ys Review - Chairman of the Board

I share my thoughts about Ys, a 3-4 player board game published by Ystari Games.

Love the reviews of old school games. Always want to know of older gems.

This one looks fascinating ;). I love those oldschool designs.

Had no idea Sylla and Ys were worth playing but you have shown that < 7’s on bgg are still worth checking out, especially if they’re older

Played this for the first time last night. Bought it after watching this review a few months ago. Really enjoyed it, great recommendation. Thanks

[@ChairmanoftheBoard]

Happy to hear!

Lockup has a similar mechanism and is one of my favorite games.

I also love the reviews of the older games, keep it up. Even though I prefer older games I am really looking forward to your review of crystal palace, is it coming soon. Take care

[@ChairmanoftheBoard]

Thanks! Plenty of older game reviews coming up. I am hoping to get it played and reviewed soon. Thank for being patient.

[@MrJmarzetti]

Hopefully this will one day get a reprint or re-theme. Looks great!

Hello again, I was able to find a copy of Ys and I was super excited because of your review. I'm really struggling with the rulebook, did you struggle with it?

[@ChairmanoftheBoard]

I didn't actually. It's quite a simple game, so you should be able to learn from an online video.

[@gregwestman]

Did you get a chance to play the expansion? Is it worth it?

[@ChairmanoftheBoard]

I don't have it

“This is an area majority, commodity speculation, and bidding/auction bluffing game.” Me: ummmmm Ys plz!

[@thedoctor1325]

I just played this one. It is a little charming but I thought it was just okay. I did like the bluffing aspect and the market with their value being majority is genius I'll admit. The rewards for the area control weren't all that interesting to me.

What a weird look of this game.
