Should I Buy Flapjacks and Sasquatches Dice Game
Just a Correction to 03:10 time stamp... The rule book states: Shapes may be mirrored and rotated. They may cross the thick lines. So they CAN indeed be mirrored.
Wow! I missed that rule. My daughter will be happy to hear it! Thanks.
i did not know ticket to ride has anniversary special! thanks for the information ☺️
So many mushroom games came out at once that I was overwhelmed and didn’t look into any of them. Haha. This one looks neat! Great review.
Totally understand. Especially when they even have the same name. This is a good strategy game.
lovely run through! always like your videos. Do you know if the new expansion is worth getting for Harvest? 😃
I hope so. I backed it on Kickstarter but haven’t seen it irl.
I agree about the art, it was the first thing I thought about while watching the video. Thanks!
What kind of abstract alien mushroom game is this? 😅
Really great explanation. Thank you!! You seem to enjoy the 2 player mode. Seeing half the deck seems to make deduction less challenging. Is it a significantly better experience with more players?
I play a lot of 2 player because my husband isn’t home often. It is more challenging with more players. But it also depends how good the players are with deduction games. If you have a player that isn’t good at them, then there is a good chance you won’t win. But if all the players are good at deduction games then it could be a lot of fun.
@ShouldIBuyThisBoardGame Thanks for the quick response. I just learned about this game, but I am also looking at Turing Machine. Any thoughts?
Bomb busters is playing co-operatively while Turing Machines is played individually and it’s a race who can solve it quicker. If you are playing with people I would go with Bomb busters.
Living in New York, I’ve tried TTRNY and it was quite fun. The setting certainly did shine with its use of cabs instead of trains
There's also San Francisco and Amsterdam
Yes. I saw that after filming the video.
I found it at Card Haus online and bought it!
Yay!! Have fun playing it!!
I am sold! Looks great!
It is a great little game.
That looks pretty fun
The board game looks very beautiful
I love your teach! Keep up the good work 😊
Thanks
Do you have video recomendation about boardgame android version?
If you want to play games on your phone I would check out Board Game Arena. There is a free version to try out.
I love the base game so much and this feels almost like honey buzz 2.0, sad it took an entire expansion to get there but I will buy it If I find it discounted
It seems a lot of this should've been in the base game. Because the base game is a bit too basic. It just kinda irks me that expansions seem to be money makers. Begrudgingly, I'll have to buy this expansion to give the base game more depth.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought Honey Buzz was basic. All I hear is praise for the game. But yes, the expansion does add a lot to the game.
I agree the base was okay but with the expansion it made me love it.
Brilliant explanation. Thanks!
Great video, seems like a cooperative brain buster.
That is exactly what it is!
Great list. May I also suggest Dinosaur Island Rawr 'n Write? A bit more complex but very good, especially solo.
I haven't tried Dinosaur Island. I will keep my eyes open for it.
This is really interesting to me because I avoid all roll and writes that include any form of drawing! I am much more of a mark a box roll & write player, Hadrian's' Wall and Three Sisters are probably my favourites. I have recently picked up Welcome to.. the Moon and although I have a laminator and I have laminated some of my favourite R&WsI do prefer paper to laminated boards so I haven't played it yet!
I played Three Sisters and all the combos just confused me. I do want to try Hadrians Wall and Welcome to the Moon.
What a lovely tableaou building game, with a very nice theme. 🤩
It is a really great game.
Look at the stars still looks very cool! 🤩
Flip/Roll and Writes are great fun - I especially like the thinker ones - eg. by Motor City Games (Three Sisters, Motor City, French Quarter), Draft & Write Records, or the thinkiest of all, Hadrians Wall!!!
I still haven’t played Hadrians Wall. It’s been on my list for a while.
I just saw draft and write records. Is it good? I love a good x and write
such a great list of games!
Thank you!
This looks like such a lovely game, the solo mode looks amazing! 🤩 Not going to be in the Uk until probably next year
Someone brought this to our board game night. It was fun but yes the rules are confusing for some of the realms
i enjoy the game so much. i have all the realms, all the promo realms, as soon as they come out i get them! lets face it. i love this game! lol
Thanks for your thoughts! I appreciate the overview and review.
I was not expecting this to be as light as it appeared! It also feels more luck based and a little frustrating with that die possibly rolling super strike. I still think it looks good for family play.
Yes. It is very light making it great to play with your family. The good thing is even if you lose you win, by being able to up your skill levels.
@@ShouldIBuyThisBoardGame yes that seems like a great way to not be super bummed about the dog winning again at least the kittens are learning.
The umbrella placement rules sort of give me Azul vibes. I really enjoy Azul and wonder if this would be a good addition since there are multiple things happening strategy wise or if it would feel too similar?
Definitely a different game. Agueda plays quicker and isn’t as involved as Azul, but is still fun.
There is also the new expansion Woodland Edge... Thanks for the nice review 👌
Yes! Have you checked out their scoring app? I showed it on Wednesdays update video.
@@ShouldIBuyThisBoardGame I'll watch your update video 🙂 an app? Wonderful
Thank you for this video. I bought the base game but haven't gotten it to the table. This explained things so well. I feel ready to jump in!!
Have fun. Don’t forget to check out the new scoring app. I showed in on Wednesday in the October update video.
YOU ARE AWESOME! ❤❤❤
I have been debating buying the base game and you have convinced me that I would enjoy it, due to how relaxing it appears to be. I may or may not go for the expansion at the same time.
The base game is every thing you need. The expansion just adds more cards but doesn’t change the game play.
I am glad I watched this video because I would never have tried the game based on the title. I am not a fan of war or dungeon crawlers. But finding out that it is cooperative and not a war game was a nice surprise! I will check it out!
It’s great if you like deduction games. I too, am not a fan of war or dungeon crawler games.
I really enjoyed wild garden scenarios. Such a cozy fun game. I’m not sure I played it right but I’ll wait for your video. Congrats on the channel milestone.
I’ve only played the first 3 scenarios. Are the advanced ones a lot more difficult?
@@ShouldIBuyThisBoardGame I haven’t gotten to the advanced ones either.
Hey Christine! Congrats on the RUclips milestone! That’s great news! Wonderful channel with wonderful content. I love and appreciate your love for the hobby and I’m so happy to have found your channel.
Thank you so much!
I love this game. I have both expansions, U&D and Wessex, adding a 6th house. I love playing the solo mode. I agree the rule book is intense but the designer has released so many how to videos that I rarely have unanswered questions. I use the appendix for many answers. I highly recommend this game and at least the U&D expansion. The game is pretty lengthy so playing with Wessex as a six player makes it that much longer. I do like the builder market movement with higher player count, so there is that.
I haven’t played the solo mode yet. I should give it a try.
Great explanation video! I think your camera work is really great, your audio sounds good, and the examples really help. The only suggestion that I have is I think you should always explain to the viewer what it is players do on their turn. If they have multiple options, just go through them one at a time. I had to deduce (get it?) from your explanation that a player's options are either 1.) to guess a tile from someone else, as long as they also have that tile, or 2.) they could discard any remaining tiles that no one else has. It would have been helpful if you could just mention what a player's optional actions are, followed by your examples. Everything else about this is great! Keep up the great work!
Can you make one for the best tableau building games too ? 🤩😁
I will add it to my list of lists.
@@ShouldIBuyThisBoardGame 🤩
I think it is a great game, but i agree with you that you must play it more times to understand and comprehend all those possible to make a good strategy. But i think that is eith lots of worker-placement games and expert games. Unfortunately i do not have such friends. Tgey want to understand everything immediately
I am new to everything Cascadia and am enjoying both sets of roll and writes and the original game, but it's all brand new to me. I like the mechanical difference between a roll and write and the base game. But really really appreciate a matter of fact 'not for me' review - no hyperbole. So here's a comment, like and subscribe.
Thank you!!! I hope you enjoy all your Cascadia games!!!
This was very insightful as I have many on my to buy list, thank you! I feel like calico might be next, love the art and cats haha
Definitely Calico! Such a great game!
I played this once this past week and loved Cascadia! I also did really good! I am thinking of getting Cascadia to play with family because they love eco tourism, nature, and eco justice!
If you don’t own the actual Cascadia game then I would highly recommend getting it.
@@ShouldIBuyThisBoardGame 🥰
YOU ARE AWESOME! ❤❤❤
I like to play this one when I’m not really in a mood to set up a game. I do prefer this one solo
Thank you for an honest review, I appreciate your opinion and very much agree. One small thing - I am fairly sure that the nature token is supposed to be a (pine) cone, not a leaf. It might have changed for the RW version, though.
You are probably right. The green outline makes it look like a leaf though.
YOU ARE AWESOME! ❤❤❤
