Wandering Towers quick board game review

Wandering Towers quick board game review
I opted for the standard pledge - smaller box and not bunches of plastic I’ll never use - but still has the building tray and double layer boards and stretch goals. I have a set of generic metal coins that I use for many different games.
+Vampire nights
I just watched your video 1 hour before the close of the campaign and decided to get the terrain edition and add the acrylic tiles. I also opted for the sundrop. Not sure if small miniatures are going to look good sundropped but still went for it. I guess once I receive it I can choose to keep the 3D terrain or the acrylic tiles but at least getting both gives me the choice to choose one or the other.
Thanks for another quick guide, we need more of those on regular basis:)
Trying to find a good groove for them!
Thanks for the shout out James!
Anytime!
Finally figured out the mic problem today, but I couldn't record this for a 3rd time so next time! No more nVidia Broadcast touching my mic, that was the problem.
Who really needs to spend much more playtime to put plastic stuff on the boards? I'm against promoting spending any money on bling that does not improve the game. If something looks better but is as practical as basic stuff then I'm OK, but searching for building to put on boards is wasted time. This is no miniatures strategy game in which 3D elements have a use rulewise. Also, all miniatures (worker) need to be placed appropriately, which again means more playtime compared to just putting wooden tokens and ressources on the boards. Also, the standard IS an upgrade. 1. Solo mode 2. Double layer boards (which opposing to plastic buildings) have a gameplay use.
They also announced a two player variant as its crowdfunding it’s always evolving. I think the minis will be a hassle for setup and teardown and the interchangeable boats don’t make sense to me just make it flat we can count but like the other upgrades.
Love this type of vlog, looking good, brother <3
🥓🥓🥓
Is that bacon?
@@BoardGaymesJames sure is! Thanks for the video.
Congratz, and there you have the next one 😅
Yeah thanks
😮
🤪
Sound clipping or is it me?
It is, I am still troubleshooting what OBS is doing to my mic, it has all the resources on my massive PC and its annoying the heck out of me!!!
@BoardGaymesJames good luck! I like the video, quite a few games on there I like the look of and plan on getting.
Lots of these are on my list!
Which would you line up to buy if you could?
Nicely said. Lovely dog, too.
Thanks!
Most interesting. Thanks for posting.
Thanks! What are you excited for?
Oh my goodness these are beautiful! Thanks for sharing! Great to see a Canadian content creator. Courtizans def my fave out of these.
I finally got to play it this weekend. Never thought I’d have to iron my board games…
@@BoardGaymesJames 😂
Bring water!!! learned that the expensive way😅 probably spent a game's price on that. i keep cash in a tiny vallet which is in a slim waist pack that is covered by my shirt. The noise doesn't bother me but the crowd does😵💫got a solution for that hope it will work. And i plan to get there by 7 at least, to find a good parking spot, near the building. i still have PTSD(joking) if i think about Parkplatz nummer 10🤣😐 it's outside the city, shuttle buses take people to the fair. That is not gonna happen ever again. Safe travels James!🤗 Looking forward to meet you😊 (Adri, BGG-Tekhenu)
Yeah I hear parking is fierce!
Safe travels. I had a blast the one year I went
Thanks, I'm on Air Canada so they better get it together soon!
Thank you very much for speaking about CUDILLERO. I you have the opportunity to play it I hope you enjoy it. 😻
don't you think that if you don't own any older version of Puerto Rico, the standard edition could make sense? The artwork seems very nice, then you also have a new expansion, the automa for solo mode, and probably they will also deal with improved rules for 2 players
If those are important to you than totally worth it! I don't solo game, and rarely 2 player euro
Hey James, thanks for covering the game and it is great that you like it!
No worries! See you at Essen!
This game is worth every penny. At a recent convention I played it six times in one day. I have lost count of my plays of this.
Love it! Foundations of Metropolis is going to be a hit too, you could always try and 3D print your own buildings lol
Muchas gracias por la información, me ayudaste a decidir. Un saludo desde México.
de nada!
Thank you for covering Agent Avenue. It's great that you enjoyed playing it! See you at the Nerdlab Games booth at Essen!
Can't wait!
All-in. I'm not sure why I need Acrylic pieces and 3d tokens.
I am on the Special Edition base right now, i think the thick cardboard will be nice enough, and I love the idea of the terrain but seeing it in action it might be blocking the view of a lot of worker placement spots :/
I like Puerto Rico a Lot, and I am considering to buy it. I dont care about the Minis nor acrylics, but I was wondering if the standart Pledge has the 4 expansions... If so, should I go for this Gamefound campaign? Or should I go for the actual Puerto Rico retail one? Thanks in advance!
It does.
Acrylic tiles are amazing, highly recommended
It does include in them and will also include all the stretch goals.
The Acrylic Tiles aren't included in the Landscape pledge. It only includes the Special Edition, 3D Terrain and Playmat.
Yeah just noticed that when I went to pledge :( so its $5 for the playmat not the tiles.
@@BoardGaymesJames Still worth the extra $5, but not as great a deal as extra acrylic tiles would haven been.
Top!!
Party!
Thanks for giving Farland a shoutout! We'd love to have you try it out at Essen. Be sure to check out our other games like Qubik at SPIEL ESSEN booth 4B110!🥰🥰
Looking forward to it!
This game was cute and fun after a more competitive game. I’m glad I got to try it with you. 😊 also, Hi James!
Hi Joe, I tried a few more times and same results but the boy friend played it all afternoon.
Not every game is for every person. This is a meditative chill game that I love. This year has been high stress so this game is a great way to decompress.
Indeed, my boyfriend quite liked it.
Thanks for playing! There is an official way to score, blossoms you bloomed plus tiles you have leftover if you've bloomed all eight. I've seen some great scores on BGG of up to 17-18, I've only scored 12 as my best.
Yeah I found it not clear. The game ends when you have blossomed 8 times, however, you run out of tiles before then but that point is made at the end of the scoring section instead of "The game ends when all 8 blossoms have opened or the draw pile is empty" So the highest we've got so far 5 points. I also forgot to point out that the colour choice makes it difficult at times as the two blues and two reds/oranges are very similar, having to line the tile up and get close to see if they actually match :/ Friends still want to keep trying though.
Boyfriend loves it though he can’t stop playing.
Wonderful list <3
Thanks! 😊
Thank you for mentioning our game Vines and Flowers, and you are welcome to come and try it out at Essen. 😄
At booth #4B410
Can't wait!
Hi James, great that you enjoy Agent Avenue. Thanks for the recommendation.
My pleasure!
Thanks for putting Algae Inc. on the list :) We put a lot of love into these innovative mechanics and hope you'll enjoy them 🙂
I hope so too!
I hope so too!
Babylon looks cool, I wonder if it has magnets like Architects of Cleopatra to keep everything in place.
Not that I saw but the pieces do all have slots to fit into vs flat surface.
I can't find your video about Intarsia!
Here you go! ruclips.net/video/vfU8yatikcU/видео.html
Really neat components! Only a few of the games I’m really interested in but hope to see these kinds of components continuing to bring extra tactile fun to the hobby! With the success of let’s go to japan I’m hoping they come out with some other destinations as I am very interested in the game play but not really into the theme just personally but would love a like UK or other place with the same ideas! Will continue to check you out 😝
I wasn't much of a fan of the game but it is very pretty!
I like your style!
Thanks!
Thanks for the mention of Andromeda's Edge! Can't wait to show everyone both the standard and the deluxe editions and aim for your post show #1. We'll be at the Lucky Duck Games booth, #3-R411. One of the designers, Luke Laurie, will be with us in the mornings!
I indeed need to actually learn it over just look at it haha
Hi James, I just saw your comment on my VLOG, so came here to find your channel and subscribe. Looks like we have similar tastes in games :)
Oh we sure do you were one of the first reviewers I modeled my channel off of when I started 6 years ago. I was like there’s not enough queer and euro content lol. I’m James Wilkinson in the fb groups we share. Gotta find those Jaffa cakes!
@@BoardGaymesJames Ah ha. That James. Thanks!
That makes it sound ominous! lol
Hi James, thanks for another interesting video. I definately need to catch up with upcoming Essen realeses. Also, maybe you can do one episode on crowdfunding projects, that are on your radar? Thanks:)
So far just Puerto Rico special edition and luthier! I don’t do much crowdfunding anymore because I want the games now lol
No solo mode? 😢
It’s also not two player supported either but as a special launch we don’t know maybe a new expansion makes it solo or two player friendly. Launches September 12
Puerto rico 1897 is a 2-5 player game where as the original is 3 -5 player game. The special edition will be rremastered of the 1897 edition so it is 2 player game. Also there are alot of 2 player veriants on bgg to find , official and unofficial variants.
Rest assured that the Gamefound campaign says it’s 1-5 players. There is a solo mode.
Intarsia looks neat. If you end up getting a copy at Essen, would be awesome to see a review of the game and brief rules explanation.
I've pre-ordered it so I don't have to bring it back, luggage space is at a premium!
Did you try any of the other airports, or just YUL? Curious how different the other airports are. Do they just add more planes to clear or are there other modules?
We crashed at London Heathrow, and laughed at the idea of some of the black and red level airports.
This was a fun game! Gives you the 4x feeling without being a space game or taking 8 hours to play...
Kind of spoilery to have the TV already showing your rating and the "for trade" category there. Also, hoping you played more than the one time you have in your BGG profile before your review. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching, some games just don't make the cut sadly, probably sold it shortly after reviewing lol.
White Castle is very, very good. Still wish it had that 4th round, but I heard that's gonna come in the Matcha expansion (along with an extra minigame involving expanded gardens). Also: good job on some sick-looking b roll!
I got the same feeling, of wait that's it?? I want to play more! But does force you to be very smart and efficient about your combos. Second game I played I scored a lot better once I remembered the limited number of turns.
Hi James, you got me interested in this one! You should more of those quick reviews
I try to keep them short, but they only allow 1 minute on shorts, and they're geared more towards viral funny content, so back to regular uploads.
