@@toddbartel6300 it's a great game! I think it's back on Kickstarter right now, with a second wallet full of cards.

@@QuendraIC I haven't worked on any Mysticana games personally, but I would presume someone has already built one based on deck building. I think they've got more than a dozen expansions to that already planned, with more to come!

@@alixx_legenddark_xx2819 Thanks for sharing your list! Our local Public Library has a giant sized Throw Throw Burrito and it looked like a lot of fun! I've never played your honorable mention game, but sometimes, simple games are perfect for the situation!

@@LucasGentry it is very fun, but it’s very tiring.

@@MrMaelstrom07 yes, you're exactly right! Sorry for the confusion. Last is the rightmost resource. This video was made from the first printing. Later printings were changed to say rightmost instead.

You're exactly right! I messed that up. Thanks!

It wouldn't surprise me at all! Several people have pointed out mistakes in this playthrough, so hopefully, it still works well enough to understand how to play! Thanks for reaching out

@@LucasGentry i really like the game :D

I just used paint dot net (getpaint.net). There are many more powerful paint programs, but this is the easiest to use free one that I've seen.

Thanks❤

It's such a good game!

My computer that I used for video recording is busted, so I likely won't be able to make one in time, but there's a very small possibility I might be able to put one together before the Kickstarter.

@@LucasGentry Love SpaceShipped over years. Just one problem the green section white text hard to read. Sp happy see your new game FantasyForm color and text looks better and clear now. Got back it!

Ha! Thank you for the compliment! If I was to remake this video today, I might have a few different games on the list, (Revolver Noir published by Button Shy would certainly be added, probably knocking Mr Jack Pocket off the list), but I still enjoy all of the games in this video :-) Since you think I have good taste, I'd love to hear what other games you would recommend for people that like my kinds of games!

Yes. A draw (also called a tie) means that we both won or both lost at the same time (in other contexts, it could mean we both had the same score, if it was a scoring game)

Thanks! What games would you keep if you could only keep one?

@@LucasGentry Oh, thats hard. I think i would choose sleeping gods.

I'm sure it's possible to make a similar game into a two player game, but all the times I've tried to make it work just don't work in 54 cards. If you design it, though, I'd love to know about it

@LucasGentry I was considering it being a two deck game. Where each player gets the full 2-4 starting draw deck. The rest of the cards are shuffled into one big enemy deck. Maybe instead of the enemy capturing your cards the opposing player captures your cards. And then instead of the royals being discarded permanently losing you the game. Whichever player at the end that has more royals wins. Just a thrown together idea. May expand on it more.

Funny you should ask :-) I made a video where I made a copy of the game using cereal box for cardstock ( ruclips.net/video/pFdSGJJei0Y/видео.html )

I'm also super bad at it. I just can't keep track of all the things I need to! Still, it's lots of fun!

Did you end up figuring out how to play after all? Feel free to reach out on Board Game Geek or the Button Shy Discord if you have any questions. I would have included RUclips in the list, but apparently, it doesn't show me when people comment anymore. Very sorry for not responding quickly!

I believe I just meant that I had to use my turn to get the other bug out of the way, so I couldn't move my queen. If it was my turn and the board was like that, I could have slid my queen out of danger (or at least into a position of slightly less danger). That being said, hex don't rotate to get them out, they just slide or jump.

When you bring a new bug onto the board, it can only be placed touching only other bugs of the same color as it is. Thanks for asking!

@@LucasGentry Lucas, of course, how remiss of me! Just learning the game and I forgot the first rule. Thank you so much for posting such an excellent and eloquently narrated video. Brilliant stuff!

Sorry about that. It was one of my first videos I tried to record, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if I did it all wrong. Hopefully, it's still clear enough to let you see how the game works!

@@LucasGentry Oh yeah it's ok! It's still a useful video, I was just wondering if there was a problem on my end! Thanks :)

I don't recall seeing bundles on pnparcade, so probably not as a bundle, but they do have sales a couple times a year (one of which is Thanksgiving/Cyber Monday in late November) that often sells games and expansions for like $1 each.

@@LucasGentry when i was searching for the expansions - it took me to buttonshy site and there was no option for pnp .. so i automatically assumed : that's it... probbably not available as PNP anymore. Totally forgot about the PnPArcade :) will purchase probbably today. Thanks a milion for responding and the lovely game.

So... about that. A lot of people do seem to think it's too easy, while another subset of players think it's too hard. Lots of people have suggested specific modifications. I totally expect at some point someone will suggest a modification that will improve it quite a bit, but the ones that I've played often end up just making it more complex, without really making it "better", so I tend to just stick with the base game. I've also tried to design several modified versions (trying to add theme, special powers, a second player, etc. ) and so far, every one of my modified versions have the same issue -- adds complexity, but doesn't really make a better game. So, to answer your question, yes, I've attempted to develop it further quite a few times, but keep ending up liking the simplicity of the original more than any of the "developed" versions I've played. (Totally personal preference, though. You might like one of the modified versions other people have suggested. They're on Board Game Geek, if you'd like to check them out)

@@LucasGentry Thanks, I will take a look for curiousity at least. It is a great game, and no sense in making it more complex without improving the overall experience. I just added a game to BGG called "Haunted Solitaire." If you have a chance to check it out. Thanks again for sharing this awesome game!

That was what I decided as well! If I can only have a couple games, they've gotta be good at everything! Great list! Ticket to Ride is certainly an evergreen game. I've never played San Juan, but it always seems to be mentioned with Race for the Galaxy, and that's one of my all-time favorites!

Thanks! I appreciate it!

Oh yeah! If you like trick taking games, this is one of the best! Thanks for the kind words :-)

Sure!

Sadly, I don't have the time to invest in learning how to make apps, but if you look for the game on boardgamegeek.com, there have been a couple people who have used Card Capture as coding projects and made digital versions of the game.

@@LucasGentry Thanks for the swift reply. I was thinking of making my own version, not asking you to do it. But i'll check those out! ;)

You're exactly right. Letting the enemy capture your weak cards is a way to cull your deck of weaker cards. That's as intended and one of the key aspects of deck building games. I think if they always took your best cards, it would be impossible to build up your engine, so I don't think it would be possible to win at all. (That being said, I'd love to be proved wrong, if you'd like to give it a try!)

Nice. I've heard of them both, but haven't played either. Are they some of your favorite small box games?

@@LucasGentry they are some of my favorite small box/ pocket board and card games. I even have Pocket Sub and the sequel of Love Letter called Lost Legacy.

Yes, it is. And I don't mind at all!

Those are all fantastic games! I still play and enjoy all of those, these years later :-)

Sadly, there aren't any in the base game. I got them 3D printed at my local public library. (I have found places online that will sell a complete set of "purple Carcassonne wooden meeples", but as far as I know, they're not in any official versions)

If you just need the regular sized meeples or the big meeples from Inns and Cathedrals expansion, you can get them from The Game Crafter, but they don't have the whole set if you have other expansions.

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

My pleasure! This is one of my favorite games, so I love to share it!
