    Hi Phil! Arborea looks beautiful. Well the board seems a bit overwhelming. But still beautiful. It sounds like a lot and I don't know if I would be ready for a complex game like that yet. I wouldn't say no to playing it and trying my best. Thanks for your helpful and informative overview 😊

    • @thefunwithboxes
      @thefunwithboxes 11 часов назад

      Yeah it really is beautiful. The board when you first see it can blow your mind. But when you’ve played the game the board actually makes sense and is very easy to use. The player turns are very straightforward. But the complexity is all around just what paths you choose to trigger the icons that will work the best for what you are planning to do. It’s a great puzzle of a worker action game 🤗 perhaps we will get to play it one day 👍😎

    How replayable is it? My concern with narrative/story games is that once the story is done, there is little incentive to return.

    • @thefunwithboxes
      @thefunwithboxes 5 дней назад

      I've not had another play through yet to have a feel for that - but it does have something like 13 endings - so there is re-playability built into it. I really enjoyed playing it and would definitely replay it a few times - but as you say with something like this there will be a point where you have gotten all you want out of the game. Well worth a look though 👍

    Hey Phil. I still have my "problems" with GMT games. This might be because I have never properly played one. I just know that I'm very bad at tactical strategy computer games and I assume it's the same with board games. That being said Rebel Fury looks really interesting and I guess you'll have lots of fun with it. Maybe I'll play one of those games one day and understand the excitement better. 😊

    Do I know Libby and Julian? Maybe... 😂😂😂 This video was different but I still loved it. Like I told you Rock Hard is one of my most anticipated games this year. The theme is... chef's kiss! The art is phenomenal and the fact that it is designed by a musician I like very much makes it even better. I love how immersive this game seems to be. And still there is enough... sugarcoating... to make it more family friendly. You kind of surprised me as well. I didn't know you were a musician. Not that I wouldn't believe it but I never thought about it as well. So... Rock on! 🤘 I am currently a bit obsessed with Draft & Write Records so Rock Hard is definitely a game I MUST try.

    Hey Phil! I'm a bit late here but better late than never. AireCon is definitely something I have my eyes on. It might be a bit complicated for me to visit since travel and hotel are not that cheap from Germany I guess. I heard you are at ACNW right now and I hope you have a lot of fun!

I can only hope that one day one of my designs gets licensed and has the chance to make one of your lists 😂 The one game that intrigues me the most of the ones in this video is... Die Hard. I notice that I'm quite interested im movie based games. Especially 80s movies. Maybe we need to add this one to our game night list when I ever come by to play Big Trouble In Little China (no, I won't forget that 😂). And I love Draftosaurus! I played it on BGA a few times and even though I think I never won, I had tons of fun. And not only because I love dinosaurs. Distilled is SO good! I played it with Julian from Boxed Meeples on BGA and - again - I'm quite bad at it 😂 But I just LOVE how the game mechanics mirror real life with taking away the top and the bottom card in the distilling process.

So I was very excited to watch your unboxing today after work. Most of the time GMT games don't seem to be my kind of games. At least when I remember correctly. This one seems to be at least interesting. But I am happy to see how excited you are about the game and I hope you have lots of fun with that box 😊

    I have actually never heard of The City of Kings. But I think it looks very interesting after doing a bit of research. I would definitely like to try it. I was quite surprised to learn how short it is when you look at the box size. The Century Golem Editions are all on my wishlist because someone told me they'd be a good introduction to some mechanisms. Charioteer has a theme I am very much interested in. I love ancient Rome (maybe not as much as ancient Greece but still). I like Heat but I think I'd rather play that one. I'll watch the video on it later. I think this might be my highlight of the list. 149 games with the letter C alone? I would love to visit you one day and just have a look at that collection. It has to be amazing. I just love Camel Up. Well I guess I would love it. I only watched people play it but I imagine it being so much fun. Cthulhu Death May Die is also a game I would be interested in trying. I love the production and I really like coop games. I love Acquisitions Incorporated and I really like the concept of Clank! So a combination of both should be right up my alley. Especially since I have never played a legacy game and really would like to.

    • @thefunwithboxes

      Century Spice Road is a brilliant clever little game. We love that one :) And Charioteer really is a superb racing game - we are really enjoying that!! I was surprised when I realised we had 149 games beginning with C - we have games everywhere - literally running rapidly out of room as we live in a small old mining terraced house. I hope you get to play Camel Up and Clank and Cthulhu Death May Die - all wonderful games!!! Are you going to Essen this year??

    • @thefunwithboxes
      @thefunwithboxes Месяц назад

      Hi. I have Cartaventura games but had not played them - but just played part way through one now to answer your question 🙂 They are similar as in they are a 'choose your own adventure" games - but work quite differently. In Cartaventura you are laying out a map of cards onto a table and having to do a lot of card manipulation and reading - where Washed Ashore is played completely in your hand using its clever system of flipping and rotating cards. The only cards you put on a table are the item cards you discover. But apart from that you are drawing cards into your hand and manipulating in your hand making this a very portable gaming experience. If you enjoy Cartaventura I'm sure you would enjoy this too. Take care. Phil 👍

    I'm usually more of a dog person but this game looks like a nice little filler. I like push your luck mechanisms even though I tend to pushing my luck to far. Still I would never say no to a game of... let's say for example Can't Stop. By the way, I wanted to tell you that I really like your stop motion unboxings. I know there is a good reason behind you doing that but still. I think it's so unique and charming. Way more interesting to me than other unboxings.

I'm so glad you like the stop motion parts - they are my favourite things now - they take a lot of time to do - but I hope it's worth it in the end. I started them because I did not want people to see my hand tremors when I was opening boxes - but now I'm shooting a lot of how to play videos so its inevitable that my hands will be seen. But I'm still keeping the stop motion parts!! Yay!! 😃 Soooo chuffed you like them 😊
