Teach, reviews, playthroughs and tutorials for the best board games
Hello and welcome to EZBoardGames!
This channel is all about tutorials for board games, how to play, board game reviews, opinions, full playthroughs (player vs. player, solo and co-op).
After being quite some time into this hobby, I feel like I could bring a different angle to the board game teaching process.
So I created this channel to teach others how to play in the way that I wished someone would have taught me.
Feel free to leave any kind of question in the comment section or even by mail and I'll do my best to get back to you as quickly as possible.

Era of Tribes board game- how to play
I bookmarked this video as I'm currently at work and they sadly don't pay me to watch amazing RUclips vids. Yay! I look forward to finding out about this game :D
I'm very surprised Agricola isn't on this list. It doesn't take long to setup, perfect weight, and has lot's of great decisions. I do need to try your other Uwe picks
@IndianaGeologist not saying it's not a good game of course.. I just felt maybe that will be something a bit obvious and wanted also to show some other titles 😊
Very VERY helpful video for people like me who are just learning the game. Thank you!!!
The pleasure is all mine 😊 I live for these types of comments.. it's the fuel that keeps me going, so thank YOU! :)
You say this is based on the of game, but actually there was a board game before this and they made a pc game based on that board game.
Yeah, there are quite a lot of comments on the matter 😊 Not sure what does it change really, because the last board game is based on the PC game. But yes. You are absolutely right and it all started with a board game 😊👌🏽
Looks like a lot of fun! Super unique graphics
Yeah, cool abstract art 😊
The copy of Starcraft is very enticing, but I think I am done with games that plays in more than 2h. No way José! Congratulations on moving in Switzerland and good luck finding something big enough in Geneva to store your games... I lived there for a while and I can recommend the Bains des Pâquis and Parfum de Beyrouth for a Lebanese meal! If it gets too boring Lausanne is not far away 🙂
Hahahaha thank you my friend! I'll keep those tips 🤩 Trying to get a normal size apartment but yeah, prices are high. Love those big games!! They're my favorite 😍
Looks like a fun game and it's in a theme I love... space. But the mechanics doesn't talk to me and the graphics not my cup of tea. I'm very picky now before buying new games. Love your vids my man 😁 what's next on the menu my friend?
Oh it's totally understandable.. not everything is for everyone 😊 Thank you so much for the kind words ❤️ I have now Heroes of Land Air and Sea on my table so maybe till next week I'll be able to put something on the screen. Also, I'm now learning Space Empires 4X and absolutely loving it!! I'll do a video for it soon as well 🤩 What's on your table now? Which game would you like me to cover?
@@ezbgames last weekend I played Xia with one of my friend and we had a blast. Like I said I checked your collection on bgg and saw Empires of the Void 2, it's one I own but didn't read the rulebook yet so it's one i'd like to see here. I have 68 base boardgames that I pretty much all love so to be able to bring them all on the table, I,m pretty much picky with the new ones I buy. The mechanics,theme and experience that it brings to the table need to be new or different with the ones I already own and 2nd... it's not cheap so I choose wisely where I spend my money.I'm the kind of guy that like's to buy things on Etsy to ''upgrade'' my favorite boardgames so the money I spend can rack up pretty quickly. I don't know for you but the more games you have the more overwhelmed you feel when choosing what to bring to the table or one to choose when introducing someone to the hobby.
Yeah you're totally right, the more games- the less sure you are for what to table. I totally relate to that. Damn.. Empires of the Void II is something that I promised a long time ago to do a video and totally forgot. It's good that you're reminding me! Xia is great but it has been a long time ago since I've played it. So since the space them is for you- what did you think of Voidfall?
Maan, i swear, i just sat down with my dog and thought to myself "I wonder if Asaf i still making that video about Ultramassive"? Not 5 minutes later, this pops up ha! That's awesome! You played a physical copy of it before i did heh.
Hahaha we're synced! Lol Yeah I received the prototype and sent it forward when finished with the video 😊
I found your channel because of Forbidden Stars, just wanted to see if someone recently cares about this great game! Continuing with more FFG Classics just puts Legendary status over your videos, at least for me! :) Corey's games just have something unique! And hearing from another video that you planning doing MEQ coverage made me overexcited, haha. It is amazing game and has very sentimental meaning for me and my wife. I had an offer to give it away for Forsthaven+Sleeping Gods+Pandemic Warcraft+another one and I... Refused lol... Even if I can sell them and buy it again, lol. That much we love it!
Ohhh I'm so happy to hear you got to my channel through Forbidden Stars, even though I personally prefer Starcraft (I did a comparison video a while ago..) I will definitely cover MEQ either this month or hopefully in October after Essen Spiel. I'm glad you didn't trade this game.. and I'm a true believer in sentimental value ❤️ I hope I can continue create content that you'll like and if there's a game you'd like me to cover don't hesitate to contact me via RUclips or email and I will do my best to get a copy
Those reasons are exactly what I don't like about Blood Rage too! Oh, and the base Wingspan... The most boring experience I had for years...
I won't lie- I'm very relieved to hear I'm not the only one hahaha
Good luck on moving!
Thank you so much ❤️ I'll need it hahaha
awesome video tutorial..thank you! :)
The pleasure is all mine 😊😊
EZboardgames is definetly one of my favorite boardgame channels here on RUclips! I like the relaxed atmosphere, the controversial decisions you've made (giving away Blood Rage - OMG) and the well structured and easy to follow reviews and how to plays. I really love it. I've played StarCraft on PC a lot and heard so much good things about the boardgame. Really hoping to get my fingers on it 🙂
Thank you so much my friend ❤️ Yeah Starcraft is a cool game and I'm really glad someone will get to have a copy 😊
Thanks 😄 very helpful
The pleasure is all mine 😊
I think this is the first culling video which explains the thought process behind each decision. Personally, I think that is great as short explanations such as i don't like it as much never cover the plus and minuses of a game and why that game left a collection. Nice video good sir, you just earned a subscription and a like :).
Thank you so much for watching, commenting and of of course subscribing. I appreciate it very much. I'm also glad you like the concept of this monthly video as it is very important for me to say how come a game left the collection (like a tiny review). Thank you again and welcome to the EZ family 😊😊
Interesting list, thank you :D As you said most are underrated because they are simply not available at all ... StarCraft is a grail game of mine ^^ Reasons are small publishers, small print runs and no second edition or the loss of IPs as in the case of StarCraft :P sigh - maybe some day we will see reprints or similar games without IPs surface. Happy gaming!
Hey! 😊 Thanks for commenting.. It's true for the OOP games, but some of these games are still out there and need some love 😉 Not sure if you saw my last video (and I apologize if you have) but soon, when I get to 2k subs, I'll do a free giveaway of Starcraft. Stay tuned 😎
@@ezbgames Thank you for the quick reply :D Just watched your announcement. Hope the 2000 will be reached (you got me :) ) Just wonder if I will enter :D ... I played StarCraft with a friend shortly after it came out and we had rounds of 2-4 players which were a lot of fun at the time. When I got back into boardgaming years later he had already sold it :D Loved the Zerglings :P I am quite ok if it stays a grail game and someone else gets it to enjoy. Not sure how it would fare measured up to more modern games like Voidfall and upcoming Andromeda's Edge. At the time there was really nothing to compare it to and memories are golden :D Still it would be great to get a retheme ... Also love your shelf in the background :D
Woohhhaaa you named Voidfsll which is in my top 5 and Andromeda's Edge is something that I'm really looking forward to. Starcraft, in my opinion, still holds up and gives a competition to more modern board games. I prefer it over Forbidden Stars. Thank you for subscribing, I really appreciate it. The shelf behind me... haha yeah it's my pride and joy. I really love board games- it completely changed my life
@@ezbgames Enjoyed the content :) Board games are such a marvel :D Would not like to live without them anymore ^^ Have to admit I never played Forbidden Stars ... ^^ Currently we are into Slay the Spire with some intermissions of Forest Shuffle (absolutely addictive with the Alpine expansion^^) and the occasional Frosthaven scenario - on the upcoming cue are still Keep the Heroes out, Distilled, Agemonia and Oathsworn :P Also I just got Tamashii, The Warp and Cthulhu Wars :P oh guilty pleasures ...
Ohhh wow!!! Some heavy titles.. The Warp is a very interesting game. Did a how-to-play not a long time ago. Love this passion for board games. It literally fuels my day
I absolutely always enjoy the intelligent humoristic approach of the ‘No Pun Included’ channel….A Star Craft copy..Waw! Count me in!
I figured it might get people a bit excited! I wanted to do something unique.. 2k subs is right around the corner and I'll do a video talking also about the give away. Best of luck my friend 😊😊
@@ezbgamesmerci beaucoup!
Avec grand plaisir ❤️
I also picked up Dead Reckoning (just base) in a recent sale, look forward to your thoughts on that one and Edge of Darkness when you get to that! My favorite channel is Room and Board, he really helps add some anti-fomo to crowdfunding. I'm usually a grape guy, but in this case of course I love apples! 😆
I'm really eager to check out Dead Reckoning and report back 😊 Never heard of this channel but I'm adding it now to the list and I'll check his videos. Sounds interesting! Hahaha I'm glad I have the opportunity to give away Starcraft 😊😊
I really like what you’re doing here with this series, but my absolute favorite channel has to be Foster The Meeple! Jeff and Jamie are hilarious, entertaining, inclusive, and so much more. Shout out to their Kickstarter that’s running right now for anyone who wants to show them some support!
I absolutely LOVE the dynamics between those two 😍😍 They were one of the first channels of board games I started watching.
I enjoy BoardgameCO a lot!
Oh yeah! Alex is awesome!! I really like his content 😍
I really like the Boardgameco channel. It helps me navigate the crowdfunding space. I played so much StarCraft in my younger years. Being more of a boardgame than videogamer that game is my Holy grail game that I really want in my collection.
BoardgameCo. is an awesome channel and I like Alex a lot!! I love the Starcraft IP and it's one of the reasons I'm very happy for this give-away. 2,000 subs is hopefully around the corner 😊😊
Favourite Channels are BoardGameCo and TheDiceTower :) and of course I like Apples 😊 And great video as always brother, I Looooove Mind MGMT and also like Cthulhu Wars. I hope you'll find any fun in Steamwatchers other than the production cause I haven't 😅
BoardgameCo is an awesome channel indeed!! 😍😍 I'm starting to think I did a mistake with Steam Watchers lol But for that price I had to give it a go. I'll keep you updated
Hi, my favourite boardgame channel is The Dice Tower. It's one of the firsts i knew. And like them apples!
A solid channel indeed!! Starcraft will be a good add to a collection.. I hear you 😊
Cthulhu Wars is one of my favorite. This game is a really good mash between ameritrash and euro-style games.
I'm very excited to try it 😊
I’m completely in love with Hegemony for the moment but I don’t know John company.
Don't get me wrong- Hegemony is a great game! Very well designed. Check out John Company when you get a chance
Gaming rules - favorite channel
Paul Grogan is a legend!! I love his channel. Super professional
SUSD is my go to for boardgame review :) An apple a day keeps the doctor away 🍎🍏
They're so funny!! Doesn't matter what they present- I love watching their videos
Really like the series and your English is just fine.
I appreciate it. Thank you very much 😊
Favourite channel - SUSD, it’s gotta be. I’ve bought more games based on their recommendations than any other channel, and enjoyed almost every single one. StarCraft is a grail game for me. So hard to find, especially the expansion. Thanks for the giveaway!
They are simply awesome and their reviews are not only fun to watch, but also professional in a way that you know they played this game a lot before reviewing it.. When we hit the 2k subs I'll make a video saying how to get into the give away 😊
Starcraft is a fun game! Good luck to people entering the giveaway!
100% agree that you shouldnt have to push yourself through 10 plays of a game to determine whether you like it. There are still games that I'm not sure about but I am very interested in still exploring before I decide on how I feel. But if I'm put off the first time, that game rarely gets a second chance.
I'm glad I'm not the only one out there haha I'm cool with playing a game a few times if I'm not sure. But disliking from the first game? It's tough...
I do like Boerdgameco a lot as well as yours of course! Starcraft is a game I'd like to try now that I've played a lot more heavy games!🎉
Ohhh Alex is a true sweetheart ❤️❤️❤️ I love his channel. Starcraft is a very cool game, absolutely. I think there's a TTS mod aswell if you'd like to try
Great video, thx. On Ankh, it has delicious decisions in terms of the limited action selection combat cards (similar to Concordia). It has very interesting area control with lots of map variations, and this is tied into your ‘tech tree’. It’s a race rather than a combat game, with combat and area control being a means to an end. The god powers, and subtly useful Guardian powers, support multiple paths to victory, similar to the leaders and strategies in Dune Imperium. It’s an amazing game but it needs an ‘learned understanding’ of the paths to victory and counters to your opponent’s approach (as does Dune Imperium). Hope this helps and perhaps persuades you to play a few games or research the strategies that support the paths to victory. 🎉
It surely does! I'll give it another look and try to set up some more games. Thank you 😊
Favourite BG channel: @EZBoardgames. Do I like Apples? Hell YES! Would love to be put into the draw for the Starcraft game and thanks for another great video. :)
Hahahaha I just hope it was clear I was joking about the favorite YT channel.. there are so many good ones out there 😅 And of course! When the time comes I will of course give instructions. I'm just glad you're amped up for it! I knew it will be special..
I bounced off Blood Rage hard as well despite all the hype surrounding it. However I absolutely fell in love with Ankh, something about the game just clicked for me. This might be because my primary player count with Ankh is 2 players. Good luck with the move, sounds like its going to be a massive undertaking.
I thought long before culling Ankh, but at the end, it didn't see the table at all.. You're saying it is good at 2 players? Thank you so much! Still looking for apartments and hoping to find something..
@@ezbgames I enjoy Ankh a lot more at 2 players because it feels a lot more chess like as you know exactly what cards the other player has in their hands but don't know exactly what they will play. Add a dash of player powers thrown into the mix and the game sings for me. As an additional bonus the base game comes with a decent amount of scenarios that change up the board state enough that it can encourage a change in the tactics you employ from game to game. But like you say there are so many more games out there for you to try which you might love on the first try.
Maybe I was too quick with Ankh.. I'll try to give it a few more runs
Congratulations for the new job and best of luck with the relocation! Don't worry if you won't be able to post as frequently, we will be waiting for the newxt video to come.
Tha know you so much my friend 😊😊 And I appreciate the patience..
Great tutorial!! One clarification: at 33:24 you correctly state that victorious Legions do not have to advance after combat (per the modified rules FAQ). However, in order to destroy a settlement the victorious Legion must advance. Therefore, in your example the Harkonnen player would not be able to destroy the Seitch and gain the Supremacy point unless they advance the Legion into the Sietch space.
Oh! I didn't realize that! That is a super important thing.. Thank you for the correction 😊 Glad you liked the tutorial 🤩
Sometimes I put on your videos in a side monitor while intending to do something else on my main monitor but its impossible as I find myself so invested in your video and what you say that I cant focus on anything else. Its very interesting to hear your thoughts about the games you sell and buy, why you do it what you are looking for and how the discussions compare various games to others and why they fit your collection better or worse! Its superb board game content! John Company 2nd is a masterpiece of a game through and through! Cole Wehrle is born to make a modern version of Republic of Rome! It wont happen, at least under that name since a new edition is announced for next year (hope HOPE its good!) but there is room on my shelf for another rome game, especially if its created my Wehrle! Thanks for another great video, its always a delight!
Thank you so much Markus! I'm speechless and I hope to continue do content you'd find interesting 😊 Yesterday we played JC with 6 players, and even though I'm not sure I'll repeat the same player count (time mainly and some other things), it was really fun and provided a lot of laughs.. I had no idea there will be a new version of Republic of Rome!! I'll definitely follow it.. I take it as you liked Arcs as well?
@@ezbgames You keep doing the content you want and it will be interesting, thats what got us all here in the first place :) For whatever reason I decided not to back the Arcs campaign and instead will pick it up as soon as my local store gets it! Not yet sadly but I believe its just a month from now or such. So I havent played it yet but it definitely seems like a great game and I cant wait to get my hands on it! I do have both Pamir and Renaissance 2nd editions , both excellent games but I do prefer Renaissance. Ive been thinking of selling Pamir but its fluid solitaire game and amazing production quality makes it such a hard sell, and it has such a unique theme.
I totally get you for Pamir.. can't see this game going out from my collection. And Renaissance is just amazing on its own.. Thanks again Markus for sticking around ❤️ I truly appreciate it buddy :)
Oh wow! Congrats on the new job, good luck on the move☺️. I’d say currently I’ve been watching board game ramblings, and you most consistently, a new video comes up for either of you and I watch. Can’t say the same for the rest of the channels I follow.
Oh wow.. I'm so humbled by this.. thank you so much!! ❤️❤️ I appreciate the kind words and I hope the moving will be smooth and I'll be able to continue doing videos as quickly as possible 😊 Board Game Ramblings are cool and I love the dynamics between them a lot!!
This is probably my favourite board game series on youtube currently. Lot's of channels have culling videos, but I very much enjoy the idea of managing a stricter amount of games as I have given myself a similar restriction (based on shelf space). Also, Starcraft giveaway is crazy! I saw pictures from your latest board game getaway on Facebook and noticed you were wearing a Zerg shirt. I am personally a Protoss enjoyer, but all I know is I want some more Starcraft in my life! All the best, excited to see what content you are bringing next!
You got a good eye sir spotting that Zerg shirt.. 😉 Thank you so much for this comment. I'm so grateful that this series of videos is something people enjoy watching and in general it gives me more energy to make more videos 🤩 When I saw that copy of Starcraft I knew it will be special and people will appreciate it even though it's not a new hot game. If I can make someone happy- it's worth it! Thank you again for watching and sticking around ❤️
The fact that you call 100 games "a stricter amount" lifts a weight of my shoulders burdened by less than 50 games and still feel the occasional need to cull XD
Hahaha Well, to each their own.. I guess it all depends on type of person you are, what is the frequency of your games, etc..
@@-Markus- I've only got 67 games currently and I usually cull about a game a month. I buy a lot of used games just try out since I am still figuring out my personal preferences. I would call 100 games a stricter amount in comparison to a ton of channels that get review copies and have multiple hundreds of games. Just keep what you enjoy and can actually get to the table!
I agree 100%- keeping what you like and hitting your table. I think I have around 5 games that I keep for either sentimental value (Gloomhaven for example) or for this idea that "one day I will play this game again and I'm excited for it" (like Darkest Dungeon)
Maybe Bloodstones reprint is interesting
I'm trying to locate a copy in Europe to try it
@@ezbgames Bloodstones have really smooth and elegant design. I love when you play and don't check on rules every ten minutes. Recommending the game. (but I am propably passing expansion, since the base game doesn't need more of stuff).
Good advice, thank you 😊 I'm eager to give it a go
Has your thought evolved on Rurik overtime? How does it hold up a year later compared to new games in your collection? And did you have a chance to try the expansion?
I tried the expansions once.. which is not enough really to have an opinion, but I guess there is no going back. Rurik must be played with it. To be honest, Rurik doesn't hit my table very often, but not because it's not a good game, just because I'm trying different things all the time. But juat talking about it makes me want to table it as soon as possible
@@ezbgames It seems the good thing it has going is that it is easy to pick up. I am okay with games sitting on my shelf for a little bit as long I can pick them up without having to invest a lot of energy re-learning the game
Spot on! Completely agree with you! Rurik is definitely one of those.. the rulebook is so small and very good.
Salutations buddy! Hope you are well! All the best and strength with the move.
Heyyyy!!!! Come back to us please! 🤩🤩 Thank you very much.. I'll keep you updated
@@ezbgames Mid October I will be back. Till then only very rudimentary internet access and limited time, also no phone. Only hard work. 🥳
Best of luck my friend..
@@ezbgames Thanks! Same for you. Hopp Schwiiz!
Have you ever heard about the defence of procyon III ? It seems quite difficult to find as it seems the producer is having issues, but I managed to track down a copy. I haven't played it yet, but it looks interesting (though heavy to teach). It seems like something that you could be interested in Edit : 1) Give away : That is awesome and generous of you. I am sure that many people have starcraft the board game as their grail game and just can't find an affordable copy 2) Moving : wow, I can't even begin to imagine to move all those board game away. I sure hope that the moving won't impact your playgroup too much, but Paris-Geneva seems decently far away?
Well, that's pretty much all I need to try and locate a copy lol Working on it as we speak Thank you! 😊
That special surprise, though!!!! 😮 Good luck with the move, by the way. It's going to be a huge hassle, but all the best!
Pretty sweet to receive Starcraft like this, huh..? 😉 Thank you so much for the encouragement, I definitely need it 😅
@@ezbgames StarCraft is the grail game of soooo many people. You will definitely make someone very happy.
That's exactly the purpose 😊
Ohhhh Hegemony?? I am 3 games in and I'm absolutely in love with it. But it definitely requires a consistent group to continue playing and enjoying it. I also love John Company 2nd edition, and find them to be different enough to have both. I agree that John Company needs a lot more love, though.
Oh I absolutely think it's a good game and you might be right that they are different enough to have both in tue collection, but when I have a strict limit of 100 games I have to make tough decisions.. and when proposed to play Hegemony (if we're at my place) I would always prefer to play John Company. Glad you liked it as well
@@ezbgames To be fair, I would probably choose John Company over Hegemony if asked. But my gaming group definitely prefers hegemony at the moment.
This I can totally get. Hegemony will probably fit more gaming groups. Makes total sense to me
I completely agree with Pax Pamir 2nd edition being so good. Never tried any other pax games, though. Maybe time to broaden my horizons!
I would really suggest Pax Renaissance 2nd edition. Wow what a game!! I did a playthrough a while ago, feel free to check it and see how you feel about it 😊
@@ezbgames I'll go take a look, thanks!
For me Porfiriana and Ren are above Pamir, and 1st edition of Pamir is better than the 2nd edition. Pamir 2nd edition is to gamified and watered down experience.
Interesting take! I never played Pamir 1st edition. I'll give it a look
For me, the Eric Lang trilogy is good, but just that. They are three beautiful games that offer completely different experiences with some small twists that keep me interested. Ankh gives me a more chess-like strategic feeling that I really enjoy (I also like the merge mechanism, although it doesn't work for every player group in my opinion). Rising Sun is just really fun when you have a group that digs the betrayal mechanism. Blood Rage is my least favorite, it sometimes feels more like a points-efficiency game than a "dudes on a map" game. So I completely understand why you didn't like them. If you're interested in trying one last game from Eric Lang try The Others(1-vs-many). Once, I was about to buy Steam Watchers and Dead Reckoning, but after watching some videos, I wasn't convinced, especially with Steam Watchers. But, I might have been wrong 🤣🤣🤣. As for Hegemony vs. John's Company, I think it mainly comes down to the theme. Not many people enjoy games set in the colonialism era and that include elements of it. These days, I've been playing Arcs a lot, and I really like it! It's a bit sad that almost no one in my group likes it as much as I do 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I see I lost my tour guy in Paris ahahhaahahah Good luck in your new home and hope to see you in Essen 😊
Omg .. where did you get those expansions for CW? Was it within EU? Can't find those anywhere. And what is your Vital Lacerda game to table most? Steamwatchers isn't that good, the deterministic combat I dislike. Resurgence is on the other hand excellent, take look at Nova Roma from Stan Kordonskyi as well. And of course best from him is Rurik with expansion.
Yes, found it here in France for 45€ a piece. Just managed to negotiate a bit for the shipping that was offered for free. Do you think the pricing is good? From what I tried so far from Lacerda I didn't keep anything (Vinhos, Escape Plan, On Mars and CO2). BUT!! I feel I did a mistake with On Mars so I want it back.. also, I want to try Inventions and Kanban EV. I really feel like I'm missing something so I'm not giving up haha I figured that for the price it's worth a shot regarding Steam Watchers. So we'll see how it goes. I love Rurik and I got it with the expansion a while ago (did a how to play and a review for it) and I will definitely try his games. Thanks for this comment! I appreciate it and dying to test everything 🤩
@@ezbgames I think that the price is really good, especially those expansion, since they are almost impossible to find (in EU). Funny is, that I also didn't back anything in August, but bought Cthulhu Wars. And just after reading the rules I started to look for expansions 😆 not smart by me, with not played core game, but well, board games are passion. For me Vital Lacerda games are too brainburning, too abstract and too pricey. Oh,we have same taste in boardgames then. Battle for Rokugan, Company of Heroes (can't wait for the "crate"), Rurik, WotR,.. One last question.. if I am not touched by Dune universe, would I enjoy Dune War fo Arrakis more than moving pieces around the map? Thanks a lot for your videos.
Hahaha board games are board games and we have a serious peoblem when it comes to buying things 🤣 Oh wow we absolutely have the same taste!! That's great! You named some very good games there.. Company of Heroes is SO GOOD and I'm waiting for the All-In veteran pledge. The crate is super cool. So I'm not a big fan of Dune as well so your question is very good. The short answer- if you prefer the heavier games and you always have heavy players to play with- stick to WotR since in my opinion is the superior game without a doubt. Dune is better produced and takes less time and is less complicated (if that's an issue..) Also, I think the full experience of Dune is with the 2 expansions, but that's already pricy :/ while in WotR just the base game is amazing!! I did a comparison lately so feel free to check it out but if you already have/ don't have the time or patience, from the comments you made I would say save your money for something better and stick to WotR. That's as honest as I can be.. But again- Dune is a good game that even the non IP lovers will find fun in it
Great explanation, thank you very much, subscribed!
Super happy to hear this 😊 Glad my my video was clear! Thank you and welcome to the EZ family 😎
