@@soloflo After all of the high praise from other reviewers years ago, I bought them but I really didn’t like them. Unfortunately, I bought a bundle that included all of those boxes. If I were to make a list of most disappointing games, this would be near the top of the list. I have Destinies, too but I’m not sure if I’m going to like it either. I don’t mind games with app integration but those games are more digital than board games. That makes two of us that went bonkers buying the same game that we ended up not liking too much.

Have a good night and a Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!!! 🎉🎉🎉

@@soloflo The shipping scam stinks but I think you’ll like the game. So far, I’ve collected the entire set of expansions and they’ve even released a pure solo expansion that has you playing as Snake Eyes! It’s awesome! I hope you’ve been well. I really want to get back to making video but I haven’t been able to play for a long time. I suffered a very severe back sprain and I just recently began walking again. I can’t even comfortably do something like playing a board game. It stinks because there are SO MANY games I’ve been wanting to review and show you guys. This year has been a rough one but when I get back to normal, I’M GOING ALL OUT!!!! I’m really missing my board games but I got to heal first. Enjoy your new member of the board game collection and don’t spend too much! lol! Take care.

@@SoloBoardGamingKnight Oh you can also consider this for organizing the games. I got the tip off Totally Tabled. "IRIS USA Portable Board Game Organizer Plastic Project Storage Case Box with Snap-Tight Latch, 10-Pack, Fits 8.5" x 11" Papers, for Games Puzzle Magazine Document Craft Hobby Art Supplies, Slim, Clear"

@@vorpalCortex You’re welcome! I truly believe you’re going to enjoy it! Great Christmas present!

@@AlwayzFresh The thing that intrigued me the most was what was real vs what was not real. The ending really opened the doors of possibilities about what we truly watched. In that way, I really enjoyed the movie. However, I wouldn’t say this movie is extremely re-watchable. As a one time watch, considering everything I spoke about out in this video, I enjoyed it. Hope you’ve been well! It’s nice to know you’re watching the channel! I’ll be getting into reviewing board games again soon. Life is just making it a little difficult right now. There’s some pretty awesome board games I really can’t wait to share with everyone. Take care!

@@henriqueribeiro4954 Yes. Every mode is a quick play. After your first 2-3 games, once you get used to the rules, it should take you somewhere between 15-25 minutes to play.

@@TK421-53 I agree with pretty much everything you wrote. Your point on the core box (which is what I focused on in this video) is very important. Like you, I believe MC gives you the most bang for your buck when it comes to content due to the amount of heroes you can play as and the modules available for the villains adding plenty of variety to the core box. Expansions will help pretty much any LCG but as you mentioned, not everyone will jive with the theme. There have been many games that just didn’t land with me and a lot of the time, the theme is the reason for that. At the end of the day, I decided to stay with Marvel Champions and I have collected everything that has released for it. I even have a video (Top 10 Board Game Upgrades) in which I showcased how I store my Marvel Champions cards. It’s really useful and keeps setup and teardown to a minimum. I appreciate your comment and your thoughts. It was a fun read. Take care.

@@RichardJRussell I agree! That very same thought went through my mind. This entire game is a callback to the 80’s in its look.

@@BeatRag28 I can understand your point of view. Personally, I very much enjoyed the way abilities were used. Much like in RPG’s, some abilities are powerfully but usually under some kind of cool-down period. That’s where the tactic, for me, shines brightly. It avoids the player from spamming powerful abilities and forces the player to use caution on when to use and anticipating when it will be available once again. The upgrade system is very similar to other games in which you’re given some options and move on. With all that written, I can see how it’s not for everyone. I had Oathsworn on my table for months and enjoyed pretty much every moment. I did take my time and didn’t play every day but when I did, it was very fun. Using cards to force other cards to move became one of my favorite tactics throughout my playthrough. It had an ebb and flow feel to the combat.

@@BeatRag28 also, I wanted to add since we have the option to play each scenario individually, I see why the upgrade system works the way it does. It’s a give and take that may lessen one part of the upgrading system while simultaneously allowing us to repeat battles without starting over.

@@squallgoku777 This summer, my son and I spent three days playing Marvel Zombies and we had a blast! To be fair, the stretch goals box as well as the X-Men Resistance boxes really helped elevate the game. Without those boxes, I wouldn’t like it as much. In my opinion, those boxes are a game changer.

@@SoloBoardGamingKnight Have you tried the PVP mode from Clash of the Sinister Six?

@@squallgoku777 Unfortunately, I have not played the PvP mode.

@@5olas Thank you! It was a pleasure to share it with you all. God bless!

@@karim009 lol! I just played this again a few weeks ago and I still enjoyed it very much. It’s a really good and fun game that feels like the Xenomorph is hunting you.

@@SoloBoardGamingKnight I just bought the game for 35€, I can’t wait to try it with my friends these days!

@@SoloBoardGamingKnight is it more fun solo?

@@karim009 it plays exactly the same solo as it does multiplayer. However, there is a mode that is specifically for multiplayer and a few missions are for multiplayer only.

@@karim009 If you’re a fan of Alien, you’re going to have fun! Enjoy!

@@jakubtomas9154 I haven’t played 2 but I did play the RE1 board game. I enjoyed both of them but I enjoyed RE1 even more.

​@@SoloBoardGamingKnight I find RE1 little overwhelming due to the amount of cards and the time it takes to set it up and the amount of scenarios. RE2 is more streamlined, have less cards and mainly it has Claire and Leon 🙂

@@zitruskiler TMB is definitely in this video.

@@peanutbuttermike2420 Planet Earth. 😜

@@SoloBoardGamingKnight No seriously, which continant or country. Accentwise

@@soloflo I want to buy them but I can’t right now. I have to close the wallet for the next few months. There’s still a ton of stuff I have to finish reviewing and more that is headed my way. Let me know what you think about them once you’ve played them.

@@SoloBoardGamingKnight no worries bro. I found out the huge discounts are kinda fake!!! 😂😂😂 for some games the “special price” was just a few bucks less than the regularly discounted price anyway!! But I guess I did save at least TWENTY BUCKS so still in the money brah! 😂😂😂😂😂

@@soloflo That stinks!

@@SoloBoardGamingKnight Witcher Old World is huge disappointment. Don’t buy. I am refunding.

@@SoloBoardGamingKnight Skyrim board game on the other hand is quite amazing.

@@nathanielrodriguez3224 Thank you! I appreciate your comment! Life has been busy lately but I will get back to uploading reviews soon. See you then!

@@wishmeheaven Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! There are two versions, the Kickstarter version and the retail version. The retail version does not include the miniatures. Although I received the Kickstarter version, I purchased all of the expansions myself because I enjoyed the game. I did, however, buy the Edge Runners miniatures because I wanted to paint them but I was afraid of ruining the miniatures. That’s why I have an extra. I’m still learning to paint and these miniatures are too beautiful to ruin.

@@SoloBoardGamingKnight Thank you for the detailed response. I appreciate. Looking forward to upcoming videos :)

@@attiasprouse682 In the video, I mentioned two movies in particular, The Identity and Glass. The reason I believe these movies are important is because they share a similar thread. Both of these movies are about multiple personalities. In Identity, the main character’s multiple personalities are NOT aware of each other’s existence. However, in Glass, the villains multiple personalities ARE aware of one another including the villain. I believe these movies were very influential in the creation of both Joker movies. The opening of Joker 2 is very telling. We see Arthur walking down the red carpet dressed as Joker. However, it’s shown to us that Arthur is holding his shadow (The real Joker) back. As I mentioned in the video, the real Joker overcame Arthur and when the Joker let Arthur take over again, the carnage was already done leaving Arthur confused. This tells us that Arthur, like in the movie Identity, is not aware that he (Arthur) is a personality. I’ll get to Lee (Harley) in a moment. During the movie, the real Joker is found staring at Arthur in three different scenes. We know that all of the scenes showing Joker staring at Arthur happened during the same time span which occurred during the Looney Tunes episode of Pepe Le Pew. On a side note: Pepe Le Pew is a skunk that falls in love with a cat (usually) that was accidentally painted with a white stripe, confusing Pepe into thinking it’s a skunk. In other words, Pepe thinks the cat is a skunk but the cat knows it is not a skunk. This is a parallel that the movie plays with. In order to be accepted, Arthur (the cat) needs to become something he’s not, which is Joker, to be accepted and loved by a character that gets introduced later, Lee (Harley), which are both personalities inside of the chaotic mind of the real Joker. It’s getting deep, I know, but you asked and I can’t help but see the movie in this way. It’s the way I interpreted it and it feels right to me. While Arthur is watching television (Pepe), breaking news interrupts and we are told that Arthur will be receiving the death penalty. This is where you have to have a keen eye and notice the surroundings to understand this and the ending. During a quick camera angle shift, we notice that Pepe Le Pew is still on the television. Was the breaking news real? I’ll come back to that. It’s at this time when we are introduced to Lee for the first time. Lee tells Arthur her infatuation with the Joker and Arthur is still very timid. Remember Arthur is a personality of the Joker but he’s not the Joker. However, Arthur loves the idea of feeling loved (a human trait that opposes all that Joker is). Lee then goes on to tell Arthur her story, which is similar to Arthur’s past. From there the movie goes on and shows the audience things that don’t make much sense. For example, while Arthur is in solitary confinement, somehow Lee is allowed in. Also, the musical numbers with Arthur dressed as the Joker with Lee. The courtroom drama. The fact that the judge allowed Arthur to defend himself while dressed as the Joker. Finally, Arthur finding out that Lee lied to him. Lee is the daughter of a rich family and Arthur believes corruption comes from the rich. Then, when Arthur rejects Joker, Lee loses interest in him. Absolutely nothing we see in the film during this time, I believe, actually happened. Arthur, while watching Pepe Le Pew, was dreaming a reality in which he met someone like Lee. Only, Arthur is not the real Joker because the real Joker was imagining the entire thing. Including Arthur and Lee. Like the movie Glass, Joker was very aware of his other personalities but his personalities were not aware of Joker (much like the movie Identity). However, both characters had a strong connection desire to allow the chaos within them to surge, which is the Joker. There is so much more I can write about this in detail but this is comment is getting long. Going back to my video, that’s where I explain Arthur as the humanity inside of Joker that will not allow himself to be a true agent of chaos. Joker cannot sympathize, empathize, love or feel guilt. Therefore, Arthur has to go. Arthur doesn’t know it but Joker does (which was hinted in the opening animated short). Here’s my last few thoughts: In these movies the question posed is, what was real? In The Dark Knight movie posters, the question posed was, who is the Joker? Arthur believed money was the cause of corruption in Gotham. Joker (Heath Ledgers) hated money so much that he burned it all. He also believed anyone could be corrupted. Arthur and Lee both had similar origins but vastly different outcomes. Joker (Ledger) always had a different story to tell when talking about his scars. Arthur signs the guards book with, “Put a smile on…,” hinting to Joker (Ledgers) “Let me put a smile on your face.” Lastly, before the Joker did what he did to Arthur, Arthur was found still watching the very same Pepe cartoon that was playing since the beginning. Then, once Arthur was killed, the Joker went on and cut a smile on his face. That begs to question, which other Joker that we know has scars for a smile? Answer the question and you have yourself the answer. Arthur and Lee (maybe several others as well but this was an Arthur story) were all personalities living in the mind of a madman. One fought the chaotic urges and the other embraced the chaotic urge. The chaotic urge, however, belonged to only one and that is the Joker.

@@wizkid7691 That was it! It was on the tip of my tongue. I’m getting old. Thanks!

@@SoloBoardGamingKnight awesome video BTW

@@wizkid7691 Thank you!

@@samlagos2192 In the video, I talked about the Harvey Dent situation.

@@SoloBoardGamingKnight I heard once it was in the video, I’d already posted the comment! My bad. But even still, how does that add up? He imagines Harvey’s face being burnt off and then 25 years later when the dark knight takes place (which would also make this joker 59-61 years old, which heath doesn’t even look 40) Harvey’s face conveniently burns off again? Just feels like bad writing if that’s the case

@@samlagos2192 In The Dark Knight, it’s asked several times throughout the movie, who is the Joker? No one knew. Not even the cops or the mafia. The Joker that killed Arthur seemed to be around 18 years old. He was young. The movie takes place in late 70’s/early 80’s. That would make Joker about 45 years old in The Dark Knight. Still very plausible. Remember The Dark Knight released in 2008 not 2024. Moving on to Harvey, Joker witnessed his injury. He was also the cause of the injury. In The Dark Knight, the Joker had several origins. Three different times he would tell people how he got his scars and every time was different. Much in the same way that Arthur and Lee (Harley) had different origins. All of them personalities in Jokers head. It’s not too much of a stretch that the Joker, having seen what happened to Harvey, would also imagine a different origin for him. Both origins involving the Joker. Remember, Joker is a madman. His reasoning is not the same as our reasoning. What makes sense to him would leave us perplexed. Finally, there is just no reason why the Joker at the end of this movie would have cut a smile on his face. There has only been one Joker that has carved a permanent smile on his face and that is The Dark Knight Joker. In my opinion, we witnessed the origin of Heath Ledgers Joker. I’d like it if the director would speak on it. I’d be curious to hear what he has to say, especially when it comes to why he decided to have the Joker cut a smile on his face. Was that an intentionally connection? It would seem odd to me if it was accidental because I’m sure he’s watched The Dark Knight. Anyway, those are my thoughts. At the very least, the movie got you searching for answers, as well.

@@SoloBoardGamingKnight thanks for the replies mate really appreciate it

@@therealtijuanaman I’m going to paste a reply that I made to someone else. Here, I add a few more insights on what I have noticed: That’s just the way that I saw/interpreted it. Since the first movie, the question placed in the forefront of our minds was always, what was real? We were never given answers and this movie followed a very similar path. We want the movie to be about Arthur Fleck but in actuality, it was never about him. All we know is that Arthur hated the corruption and he believed that money was the source of corruption that plagued Gotham. What we did know, however, was that Arthur only ever felt comfortable while dressed as the Joker because the Joker is who he really is. Heath Ledgers Joker had similar questions being posed. Who is the Joker? (Instead of what is real?). The movie posters for The Dark Knight even focused on that question. The mobsters didn’t know. The police didn’t know, either. No one knew who he really was. Joker himself kept changing his origin story throughout The Dark Knight. Joker hated money, that’s why he burnt it. He knew everything was corrupt and believed that anyone could be corrupted. There are many similarities to the two of them. He didn’t care about power or money, he only wanted chaos. To me, at least, the parallels I watched unravel throughout both movies indicated that Heath Ledgers Joker was the very same Joker that got rid of his humanity which was Arthur (which felt love, compassion and guilt preventing Joker to be the chaos that he wanted to be). The cutting of the face was the moment that solidified it. The more I think about it, the more convinced I am. How old was Heath Ledgers Joker in The Dark Knight? No one really knew. Let’s say this Joker was 18. That would make The Dark Knight Joker around 45. Still very plausible. Whether I’m wrong or right, the movie still left a lot to interpretation. I’d truly like to read your thoughts on why I’m wrong, if you have the time.

@@therealtijuanaman The more I think about the movie, the more convinced I am that what we watched only existed in Arthur’s head (which was a split personality of Joker). Same with Lee, like you mentioned.

@@V-if4qu When I say pranked, I mean it in the way that we did receive a Joker origins movie, just not in the way it was expected.

@@SoloBoardGamingKnight sorry man I was more aiming my comment at Todd Phillips, I should have been more clear. Edited for clarity now

@@V-if4qu oh, don’t worry, man. I’m not that easily offended and I didn’t take what you said personally. I understand that Hollywood has burned many bridges with their fans. Probably all of the bridges. I just enjoyed a movies that many people hate but I saw the movie differently (hence, the video). That’s what made the movie good to me. Anyway, you’re good 🤜🤛

@@smackdowngod The reason I came to that conclusion has everything to do with the opening animated short. There, we see Joker being held back by Arthur indicating that Arthur is one of Jokers personas. Thinking about the 2 movies I mentioned, Identity and Glass, those movies involve someone with multiple personalities. In Identity, none of the personalities know of each other’s existence. In Glass, the multiple personalities are aware of each other. Arthur is not aware of the other personalities. However, the actual Joker is very aware of the personalities living in his mind. When it comes to the Heath Ledger connection, the timeline, to me, makes sense. That Joker could very well be in his 40’s, for example. In the Dark Knight, nothing is known of Joker. The fact that the Joker cut his face really seems to be the biggest indicator. His posture as he sits against the wall as well as Arthur’s posture throughout both movies. The multiple fake origins of how the Joker came to be (hinted in the Dark Knight and shown in both Joker movies as mentioned in the video). Also, Arthur signing the guards book with “Put a smile on…” before scratching it off. To answer your question, in order for the Joker to become the agent of chaos that he is, he had to get rid of the personality that felt guilt, compassion and love. In other words, Joker had to get rid of his humanity. The two movies I mentioned really were, I believe, a huge inspiration for this movie.

@@BaddiesBroadcast You’re right. I almost didn’t watch this movie because of the negativity. My son insisted and I went. The thing is, I went with an open mind and I never watched a review or thoughts on the movie. I only just heard it was bad. While watching the movie, I leaned over towards my son and said, “I think people have misinterpreted this movie.” I said this to him 3 times throughout the movie. After the movie, my son and I debated for almost 2 hours. At the end, I convinced my son and he actually convinced me to make this video. My point is, I didn’t let my judgement get swayed by others (although there have been many times I have agreed with others). I watched it and I’m glad I did because even if my theory is wrong, the fact that I was able to debate about the movie and make a video on it proves that there was something special in that movie.

That’s just the way that I saw/interpreted it. Since the first movie, the question placed in the forefront of our minds was always, what was real? We were never given answers and this movie followed a very similar path. We want the movie to be about Arthur Fleck but in actuality, it was never about him.

@@santinowilson6716 Theorizing is what it’s all about. To be honest, the movie was good to me because of my theory. If it turns out that the actual meaning was something else, I’d honestly not have enjoyed the movie. The movie offering different interpretations does make it fun to listen to other people’s interpretations.

@@langolier9 I can’t remember the last time I’ve watched a Netflix movie that I’ve liked. As a matter of fact, I don’t subscribe to Netflix. The only time I add it is for my dad when he comes and visits. Then I quickly cancel it after he leaves.

@@soloflo lol! That’s actually the way I intended this video to be. I didn’t take notes or put the video together like my other videos, I just sat and had a conversation similar to what you wrote. Just hanging out and talking about something that doesn’t even matter, at the end of the day. Hope you’ve been good.

@@SoloBoardGamingKnight haha 😆 yeah I’ve been ok dude. Started playing Alien Isolation on PC yesterday (for the Nth time since PS3 days) and finally this time might try to finish it seriously 👽👾

@@soloflo Man, that’s an amazing game!!! I think about that game a lot. I was playing it on hard and got near the end but I have to go back and finish it. Great game!!

@@SoloBoardGamingKnight haha cool! I will continue progressing. GOG had a super sale on it for the entire collection. $7 PC version.

Also, the Loony Tunes character on the television is a character that loves other skunks and doesn’t want to let go of who he is attracted to. There’s a metaphor there with the Joker and his personas. Which persona is like Pepe (The Joker) and which persona is like the skunk(?) that Pepe is infatuated with? One wants to be there, the other doesn’t. One is a real skunk and the other is not a real skunk.

Good morning and good night! 😂

@@mirkozohren1139 I don’t mind handling multiple characters at once (although there is a way to simplify gameplay while playing Oathsworn, I decide to go all-in with the characters). I really enjoy the strategy that is found in Oathsworn but I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone due to the amount of time you have to invest to play it. I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Life has been busy but I should be able to upload a video soon. Take care.

@@IwatchTubiTrash Yeah, Bullet is a great game. This and Warp’s Edge manage to make it to the table often. Each time I play them, I enjoy them very much.

@@SoloBoardGamingKnight I've never heard of Warp's Edge, but I'll look it up. I recently did a purge of a ton of my games so I don't want to slip into the habit of buying tons again, but a few solo games would be fine. Mostly just need stuff that doesn't take up a lot of space and is a quick setup/breakdown.

@@IwatchTubiTrash I completely understand. As a matter of fact, I’ve toned down the amount of games that I buy and have actually been revisiting and enjoying my collection. It’s been a lot of fun. It’s not necessary to have a huge collection as long as you play and enjoy what you have. Board game boxes demand way too much space.

@@rickysad Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it and have fun deciding which game to buy!
