So many Kickstarters, so little money :D Thanks for keeping us in the loop on what's going on in the board game space!

Only person remotely showing the new nightfall expansion. I hope you show nightfall more so I can know more before Gen con 2024. Thanks for this very cool video.

Great review !!

I love the Villainous games but I agree with your take on the storage issue. I was actually looking up storage solutions on Etsy earlier today. I remember a while ago, Target was doing a bundle of the base game for Disney and the first two expansions, but they were still in separate boxes. If they had put them in one big box, I would’ve gladly bought it and put away the one’s I already have for good. Also, I’m genuinely curious on what you would think of the Marvel version, since there are much more opportunities to directly interact with opponents in there than in Disney and Star Wars. (One last thing: Maleficent is Sleeping Beauty’s villain, not Evil Queen)

When you play the more balanced villains you get a better experience. Some villains are just too hard or too easy. It’s an ok game but I can see how it’s not for everyone.

I think its definitely not overproduced. Light/medium gamers also deserve deluxefied components, it's not somthing exclusive to heavy gamers. Very pretty game.

I really enjoy this game, but the reason we collect it is mainly because my wife is a Disney/Pixar fan. I agree that the boxes are getting out of hand. One solution is to use the Unmatched (Restoration Games) storage solution.

Some people like a more solitaire-like experience in their multiplayer game, but playing against it can sometimes bee very frustrating as you can't always interact effectively. I could definitely see why you might let this one go from your collection.

An overabundance of components definitely makes me more cautious about a board game. If a large number of parts are applied intuitively though, I can get over that pretty quickly.

Would've been nice to see some examples to get a visual of what you're talking about.

That was a good opening joke. Epic, I am going to tell my family this one.

- hears you praise the amount of inventory space - wonders which game you're playing

If you haven't already then I strongly suggest Machiavelli/Citadels! It's my favorite game right now to play with friends.

Sweet new intro!

Oh god those end credits, lol. Nicely done.

That is a solid group of games, definitely fun that exceeds the dimensions of the box! Safe travels and good gaming!

No slack for you, none I say! I kid, enjoy your trip!

Thanks for taking a look at Around the World, we truly appreciate it! 🙏 -Rocky

I love me some Lacorsa - enjoyed watching it be demoed and playing it, excellent choice for a 10x5.

Mosaic is 2 player card game that uses cloth.

I personally am curious to try the Jett the Currier deck. Seems like a deck that I could work!

I remember when you played this on Twitch - you had a lot of positive things to say and seemed to really enjoy it!

A fine list! I've really come to appreciate how well designed some of these games are at 2 players, despite usually playing with 4.

*Promo sm* 😝

Go Team Heather!

This game was a lot of fun to play and I think this is one game that would get a lot better with repeated gameplays against the same player.

Thank you for having us! We are so happy you enjoyed the game. It was much fun to see you playing in the stream Such a great analysis of Cosmic Chains and the campaign✨

I'm so happy to see Siclen Studio and their team succeed - we've got a gameplay link in our description from our preview stream on Twitch, and I highly recommend taking the game for a spin on Tabletop simulator if you're on the fence about whether this game is for you.

Poor Heather! Thanks for shouting out the Patreon!

Gen Con schedule goes up soon too, very excited!

Weirdly, I think playing cards come the closest. They're clearly not a game themselves, but the vehicle for a huge variety of games that have been played for centuries. Maybe that makes them the perfect game engine instead.

There is a perfect game you liar - Lords of Waterdeep expansions

When my wife mows, I get nothing but burnt grass. Thanks for the vid!

Nice whiskers. Check out the lead in Mungo Jerry.

Square One is something that I am extremely excited for. Auto-back for me since we streamed Project L.

A great looking game and a high quality material obviously!

Perspective is definitely one way of addressing your comfort with complex board games, but knowing what you want out of a game is also a big part of that. For those experienced board gamers that find gateway games boring, they are probably seeking a challenge. Me? I generally don't want understanding the rules of a game to be the challenge - I want the strategies, gameplay, and my opponents to be the challenge. Probably why I like gravitating toward the easy to learn, difficult to master style games.

Whoa, that solo play clearly means business! Do you think solo modes are specifically designed with increased difficulty, or is there enough of a shift in gameplay dynamic you have to change how you approach the games?

So I came up with a concept for both, but deviated a bit from the stereotypical classes for Tabaxi or Kenku. Maximus the Tabaxi Warlock, his Fae Patron is an obsessed cat lady who insists on dressing him up and pampering him with food and trinkets. And mimicking some of these ideas in true Kenku fashion.... Poe the Raven, a College of Spirits Bard who tells the best ghost stories.... In the first person, in the voice of the ghost. Yes, he is a former member of a circus. Thanks guys! I subbed.

The irony here is I'm listening to this as I'm scanning the rules for Project L for Thursday...

No such thing as an overproduced game... Wish people would stop using that term... This game is really great and such a beauty on the table!

An overproduced okay game, its all about the buildings and not the gameplay really,but looks amazing after playing and seeing everyones board thats for sure

That game is very, very pretty. And also probably not helping with shelf space :D

Something something, giant game, something "Rome wasn't built in a day" reference, something. Looks great but good god - that's a LOT of game!

"I'll find a stone owl" No you won't Phil, no you wont. :D

I am certain either of our D&D groups would be happy to subject you to our various brands of chaos.

It's always nice when playmats fit in the box, though Playmat tubes have proven to be a great solution for those games where that isn't an option for me.

this game is begging for a decent insert, maybe even a whole new box that contains everything. Will be big but damn there are way too many boxes.

Do you feel like the size of the game was necessary, or became bloated because of the collector's edition/Kickstarter thing? Kind of curious if you see it as a standalone or something that aimed to be collectible/special edition as a base idea.

That is So. Much. Game! And the minis are so pretty! I agree that the box looks a little concerning. games like Millennium Blades did a better job reinforcing for large quantities of cards.
