    If I use a #6 dice, can I specifically just cross off ⭐️on the map even if not adjacent to anything? (But only as one) I believe you did that but just checking.

    • @WilzPlaysGames
      @WilzPlaysGames 4 дня назад

      Can yo ulet me know where I did that so I can double check. The #6 die allows you to cross off any 3 different colors. Star spaces are wild. It still needs to be adjacent though. I believe every star I marked was adjecent to a space that I had previously marked.

    This game looks beautiful and fun, and I'm glad there is a solo mode. I am not buying any more games until summer and this is on a very short list for then. I still have 7ish great games to learn and play, and I average about 2 games a month for that. Which Stonemaier organizers are those?

    • @WilzPlaysGames
      @WilzPlaysGames Месяц назад

      This is a good game. And an easy solo mode to run, not beat though. I wish I only had 7ish games to learn. They recently put out a set of organizers on their website that you could buy. It comes with two of the blue ones, one white one, and one of the card ones from Wingspan. I bought 3 sets because I knew I had games to organize.

  • @dadsanddice

    • @WilzPlaysGames
      @WilzPlaysGames Месяц назад

      Yeah I really did like it. Finally won in my 3rd game. I do like the action selection on the wheel and the dynamic of how fast I want it moving so I can get things going quick enough. DIdn't you say your friend rushed teh start and it you felt like you couldn't get anythign going or something or was that another game. I watched your BGG Con VLOG this morning, but then proceeded to watch like 10 other baord game videos on RUclips as well today.

    • @dadsanddice
      @dadsanddice Месяц назад

      ​@@WilzPlaysGames yup that's what happened. I think anytime you play it that's what you have to do, rush the wheel and be the first to get the bonuses. I want to do more in the game but I feel like you upgrade a few spots and just hit those hard everytime and rush the end game. Again though, need to play it a few more times.

    • @WilzPlaysGames
      @WilzPlaysGames Месяц назад

      Yeah if it rushed like that I can see how it would not be enjoyable as you don't get to do a whole lot of planting or anything. The first game I played was like that as the wheel was at 3 for quite awhile before I forced it back down. My 2nd and 3rd game i kind of forced to to go slower.

    • @WilzPlaysGames

      Very nice. I have only played Red Rising in that list. I enjoy it but feel it would be better at multi-player.

    • @megabluejj678
      @megabluejj678 Месяц назад

      @ from what I know about your style, I think you both would enjoy most The Spill and New York Slice. Spill is a pandemic style co-op where you are trying to save ocean animals from an oil spill and Slice is a “I cut, you choose” game with pizza - very thematic…the box looks like a pizza box and the scoresheet is a check receipt. I actually prefer Red Rising solo (I know weird for me to say) but is good multiplayer too and I love the book series. Perudo is a super fun party bluffing game that was introduced to me by my brother in laws family (their version is the Pirates of the Caribbean one).

    • @WilzPlaysGames

      Do you play it solo or multiplayer? It seems like a great game but the solo mode is lacking something it feels like.

    Hi Wilz's! Not ready to vote yet, I came to say something about your shirt, again! I got back on Saturday from a road trip to my hometown Appleton Wi, and here you are in a Wisconsin shirt! Ha ha! I also want to tell you about my stop at Boardlandia in Appleton. I had gotten their newsletter just before I left for road trip and they have a new item you might be interested in. For me, it was a no brainer because I have literally messed up once or twice in my wine cellar in Viticulture w/Tuscany (might be in my top 5). They have a new overlay to hold the grape/wine tokens in place! Well, none in the store to my disappointment. I had to order online which I did yesterday. Only ordered 1 with clips as I'm the only one who plays Viticulture. I can let you know what I think. At the store I got a pack of matte sleeves for my Rolling Realm cards and I love them! Easy clean, look nice, will keep my cards nice. I ordered a second pack with the overlay order d/t not realizing I have 63 realms plus the extra 2 cards. Pack comes with 60. Fun video again! Such a pretty pooch! What is Sitka's favorite game?

    Thanks for the overview of these 3 games. I have Skulls of Sedlec with numerous expansions including Monstrance for Solo play (which is how I play) There is a second Solo set of cards called Crown of Bones which just adds more features and patterns. I really enjoy the game - rather than it being a brain burning puzzle, I find it to be a light, fun little puzzle - whereas ROVE (& probably Fishing Lessons) I think are too thinky for me - which takes alot of the fun element out of a game. Sprawlopolis is the same, too much thinking. As you say - every game is not for everyone.Other Button Shy I own & enjoy are Food Chain Island & Circle the Wagons. I've recently got the print & play version of Rove Junior and made up a set for giving to my grandson at Christmas - he seems to like puzzles so hoping it'll be a hit with him.

      Thanks for joining in. I'll have to look for the other expansion for Skulls of Sedlec and some others when I expand that. It's weird because ROVE works for me but Sprawlopolis does not. I just can't figure it out. I also own Food Chain Island. Yeah Fishing Lessons does make you think but that one was interesting to me as well.

    The audio is too low I cannot make out anything. I am curious about your thoughts on these games though.

      Hmmm, weird. It said it was recording fine. I think I was talking a bit softer because I had a bit of a scratchy throat. If I turn my volume all the way up I can hear it but it is soft.

    Good lists - I agree about Trekking Through History - it's a really great game & the Solo mode is really good too. It's a game I've played with my non gaming family quite a bit and everybody really enjoyed it, they understood very quickly the concept of the game and how best to maximise your points score. It's such a great game to look at & to play. I'm not familiar with a couple of the games you mentioned (Summer amp / MLEM) I'll have to look into them. Some games I enjoy in this range: Azul, Cascadia (as you mentioned), Mandala (2 player card game - my wifes favourite) Project L, Sagrada, Port Royal, Copenhagen, Tokaido Duo & Forbidden Island. For Solo play Tin Helm, Desolate & just outside the ratings at 2.03 Iron Helm (all Jason Glover creations which I really love to play)

      Thanks for the list. I've heard of most of them. We own Sagrada, it just didn't make either list. This range was full of some really great games. It was a tough one to rank for sure.

    Such a beautiful looking game! I just started to play and it is an easy learn, thankfully. I did notice as I'm sort of playing along with The Board Game Garden that her game has a stone counter alongside her glassworks board that is not in my game or yours. Wonder what that's all about. I got the upgrade mosaic bag, but for now I prefer the one that came in the box. I also got a pack of cards for expansion and a small wooden carved bear. I didn't remember what I ordered in kickstarter (plus gorgeous rubber mat) and I love all of it!

    • @WilzPlaysGames
      @WilzPlaysGames 3 месяца назад

      My expansion got delivered today I think. I'd have to watch her playthrough to see what stone counter you are talking about. I got the deluxe but not the foundary edition. I've loved playing this on BGA. can't wait to dive in solo.

    • @WilzPlaysGames
      @WilzPlaysGames 3 месяца назад

      I see what you are talking about in the Board Game Garden video. I think they changed that in the final copy with the meeple tracker on the side.

    • @christophetoff3630
      @christophetoff3630 2 месяца назад

      If you have pick deluxe edition your counter marker is a wood character with an expansion on the left side to your board. With retail edition you have just a counter on the right sight.

    good video, thanks. I'm a pretty light games player, my wife even lighter: 10 games I / We / Our family like below the 1.5 marker: 7 Wonders Architects, Lost Cities, Karuba, World Monuments, Balloon Cup(Pinata), Alice's Garden, Deep Dive, Diamant(Incan Gold), Mountain Goats & Ticket To Ride, London. Button Shy mention for Skulls of Sedlec(mainly play Solo with Monstrance expansion) Looking forward to your next video - I suspect too they'll be a huge amount of games between 1.5 & 2.0 - as you say it might need revising to 1.5-1.75?

    • @WilzPlaysGames
      @WilzPlaysGames 3 месяца назад

      Thanks for the list of games in this weight range. We might need to check some out. I (Ian)have played quite a bit of Mountain Goats lately on BGA. Button Shy is the showcase wall this month and I got Skulls of Sedlec, with Monstrance, in recently but have not had a chance to play it with the month being so busy for me as I'm in the middle of volleyball coaching season. I can't wait to get it to the table. As for the next video I'm not sure if we are going to have to separate it or not. We looked at our list of games with at least 50 people ranking them and it might work out okay. I have to double check though.

    I’ve played 4 times! So much fun, also very relaxing but giving you a challenge and the same time. And it’s beautiful. I kind of want an expansion with a huge map to just build non stop haha

    • @WilzPlaysGames
      @WilzPlaysGames 3 месяца назад

      I agree completely. I played once on the tabletop and once on BGA. I can’t wait to playa again with Stacey and also to try it solo. Such a good game.
