Great review and glad y'all enjoyed it. Being a Falcons fan....I don't know about that Patriots jersey though. ;-)
Now you see the *real* Elliot (LOL).
Love the use of the wheel as an intro prop! Hamsterrolle has been in my collection for well over a decade. An absolute classic!!
It was entirely Elliot's idea!
Ur games shit bruv
Have you tried the original Railroad Ink? I prefer the "Challenge" versions (Green and Yellow), but this expansion also works with the original Blue or Red.
What's your favorite sheep? Andrew's is the "Dad sheep" and Anitra's is the "Pirate sheep".
I got the game just to collect the cards because there worth money
We enjoyed Nekojima and will add it to our family library of dexterity games. What dexterity games do you love?
i think i would remove a set of cards for lower player counts, like Calico
Have the trial on Android, but haven't really had a chance to play with it. I may look at getting the full version there.
Going to play for the first time this afternoon. We'll see.
How was it? The rules are a little tough to get through the first time.
I asked my local board game bar to order it for me & the owner purchased a bunch of copies. He tells me it sells really well! I love how small it is and the calm vibe.
Love it! I think as soon as people see it, they get sucked in to play :)
Simple to play, but a little confusing to learn 😳 Make sure to review those "mechanics" before you start playing!
What's your favorite beautiful game?
The light that comes with the game (which is mandatory) comes broken. You can change out the batteries but its extremely fiddly to do so requiring you to touch the circuit board with your fingers and possibly need to re-solder parts. Not worth the trouble. Lots of complaints about this out there which is why I assume this was not for sale on amazon (because it would get very bad reviews). Get ready to use a flashlight and a stopwatch in order to play. This game was not ready to launch in the state it was in due to the design failure of the light. I have yet to see a reviewer address this problem, yet consumers all seem to have it. The instructions say there is an app that you can download if the light fails but that app is no longer available to download.
Really bummed to hear this! We didn't have any issues with the game when we played it years ago.
Can you guess what football team Andrew usually watches?
This game was re-released in the US in 2024 by Pandasaurus as Codis Naturalis. As far as we can tell, nothing changed except the name.
There is an expansion booster with three more protocols: Love, Hate, and Apathy
We just recently picked it up and we're excited to play more!
I've just started to get into modern tabletop gaming, and Codex Naturalis was the first game I bought new. Based on nothing but a couple of reviews and an interest in the subject matter, I decided to take a chance. I played a familiarisation game with myself today (as two players) and my first impressions are quite positive. I think I agree with everything you said in your excellent review - particularly about the suitability of the game for young players as I actually found I kept forgetting about the objectives and mostly placed cards based on their individual points value. Even so, I imagine (or at least hope) my multitasking gameplay will improve with practice! I expect to play a four player game with friends in the near future, and I hope the game holds up. Thanks for your video, it was a good little watch 👍
Do you have a floof, good boi, or other cute pet in your house?
If Secret Identity sounds fun, but you wish it was shorter and even more cooperative, check out our review of Similo. www.thefamilygamers.com/similo-card-game/

What's your favorite food on a charcuterie board? I think ours is the cheese.
