I love nightmare at the North Pole because of Krampus and the fact that it’s Christmas. The theme is the best! And the presents are so fun

Thank you. I've been swithering over which to get. This helped massively.

Seems like so much nostalgic fun. I like games that are a series of mini games. What other locations/mini games exist? How many cards for food exist and what is the distribution of yuck and what determines if the food is yucky. Is it always tacos? Or is there one yuck of each type? Push your luck is fun but need to make sure we understand not all people haste tacos, or spinach 😋. Love seeing the mancalabeing used here. With the other locations, what are the mini games like and how many?

I was looking for a little bit interactive game. So this goes on my must-buy

Great list! We share a top 10! 1. Lord of the Rings LCG 2. Marvel Champions 3. Deliverance 4. Star Trek Frontiers 5. Fallout 6. Dune Imperium 7. Marvel Zombies 8. X-Men United/Marvel United 9. Aliens Legendary 10. XenoShyft

Goldfish 🙃

I have played both Skulk hollow and Raptor. My partner and I both preferred raptor.

From what I understand you don't get to pick Shepard's class for some reason and if I understand what another video on the game said for some reason they remove Tali's ability to use Shotguns in his.

Looks like a better version of Rock Hard: 1977. Great job!

Followed Kickstarter, will rewatch when I can devoted time to watching game play.

This looks great. I've seen it on sale. I think I need it in the collection 😅

Excited to see this develop!

How does the game feel with the Fractures of Time and expansion?

Just found your channel and so glad I did. Subbed! We seem to have very similar tastes. My top 10 are: 10. Architects of the West Kingdom 9. Brass Birmingham 8. Puerto Rico 7. Teotihuacan 6. Hadara 5. Raiders of the North Sea 4. Terraforming Mars 3. Ticket to Ride: Legends of the West 2. Champions of Midgard 1. Everdell

Excellent review

So this is a bit of Heat mixed with Thunder Road?

How would you say it is compared to Gaslands or Thunder Road: Vendetta?

It reminds me of Pagan fate of Roanoke. Asymmetric 2 player game with the same general gameplay but different objectives and strategies.

We've just bought this one! I can't wait for the next board game night :)

I preordered 'Ironwood' and have played it several times. I very much enjoy 'think-y, interactive conflict games' and I knew this one would be right up my alley. Comparable games that I enjoy include my #1 favorite game, 'War of the Ring'. Also, 'The Battle of Five Armies' and 'Stronghold'. The thing that I really appreciate about 'Ironwood' as one of those types of games is the shorter play time. 'War of the Ring' is usually a 4+ hour game. 'Battle of Five Armies' is maybe 3+ hours. 'Stronghold' probably 2+ hours. Being able to get a rewarding experience with that type of game in an hour or less is really great.

Have you played "Awkward Guests"? How would you compare them? I like Awkward Guests but it is a pain to set up and take down...

I’ll be getting Bus & Stop shortly but there is a game that’s been out for a while that it is very much like. It is called Pearls and it’s really good.

Thanks for the review. Almost sounds like Stardew Valley. Looks charming.

hmmmmm. This looks intriguing. Thanks for the review!

Great review! Thanks for taking a look!

Thanks for sharing. Well done overview and review!

Did I hear you say Calgary?! Here I was watching your video tonight after seeing the World of Monster game at a Calgary Chapters tonight! What a nice surprise!

A Bus & Stop quick session to see it played, would be cool! Thanks for the video!

Great review. ❤

Mille merci pour votre analyse sur mon jeu

Bus Stop and Superteam look awesome! Thanks for the awesome review(s)!

A year later, but great review.

Bus and stop looks great. Thanks for recs!

Bus & Stop has that Saashi look. I'm excited to try that when I have the opportunity!!

Shawn, Have you ever played any sports simulation games from PLAAY? I know he has Hockey Blast, since you like hockey. I play History Maker Golf and want their soccer and stock car game too. Anyways, his game systems are super accessible for solo simulation sports games. You do have to like sports simulation games mechanisms, ie looking up tons of charts off of random dice rolls.

Tranquility: The Ascent arrived for me the other day, so I'm glad it's receiving positive reviews after all this time

Harmonies and Windmill Valley will likely be on my list that we do later this year (or early 2025) - some great picks! Have you tried Naishi? Its only available on BGA in the states, but it's SO good and will make you want to play a physical version IMO. Cheers from the Tabletop Express! - CB

Would you recommend the game if you were only going to play it two player?

Thanks for sharing! Have it on preorder.

This was a great video! I had to check it out because my boyfriend and I have fairly strong feelings about the Horrified series and I was dying to know what others thought. lol Thanks for sharing your thoughts in a fun and engaging way! Here’s a quick breakdown of our thoughts: We absolutely adore Universal Monsters and there isn’t a close second or even a debate on our side about that. The theme, art, monster selection, puzzles, etc. all sing in this game. It’s absolutely fantastic! Also, the location overlays in this version were the best as the locations stood out more. We enjoy American Monsters, its theme, and the monsters chosen, but some of the monsters/puzzles can be confusing (looking at you Bigfoot). The color scheme of American Monsters kinda threw us off because of all the brown that was used. It definitely felt like more color could have made the world feel more lively and less muddy. We bought Greek Monsters when it released (literally had them pull it from their stockroom) because we were so stoked about the theme. Sad to report that we completely despised it. The monsters were often more unclear than American Monsters and combined with the ever worsening rulebooks, we just felt lost most of the time. We didn’t like the new system of each Monster triggering off three different symbols because it felt unintuitive and we couldn’t just look at the card and know who triggered. The fact that the heroes were basic citizens and the villagers were these epic beings felt entirely disjointed. Lastly, the map had too many dead ends where it no longer felt like we could randomly choose heroes, but had to pick specific heroes based on their abilities. Ultimately, Greek Monsters is in our pile to sell or donate. It needs to find a home where folks love it. We haven’t purchased World of Monsters because we felt burned by Greek Monsters and the general incremental degradation in quality since the original game.

Do you 2 find Greek is too punishing to play at only 2? Do you play 2 characters each? Otherwise, it's worth noting Prospeo Hall (R I P.) designed the original, which is why the design feels more polished overall

I appreciate the big swings American Monsters takes and the 50s Sci Fi theming, and the Puzzles of Greek Monsters are cool but the vague, sloppy rule books and production issues drag them down. I also find it weird theming that the "villagers" in Greek Monsters are demigods and heroes of Myths and Legends and the "Heroes" are just anonymous randos. Should have been reversed. The first one is still my favorite and your review of it is how I found your channel back in the day.

Great video! We own American and Greek and love both, but this video has convinced me that we need to pick up the OG sometime.

It's on order. Can't wait to play!!

There's an old Kanban????!!! What? Love it! Also, I've been on the fence about Mad King and I think you sold me!!

I love rondels and train games, but not contemporary heavy eurogames. The latter feel appears to outweigh the others, no pun intended, but I could be wrong! Do the resources go back onto market spaces or are they only removed?

Excellent pictures. Exactly what I would want in a review. Concise thoughts and clear component pictures. Great work!

Thx for the video ❤

My wife and I love roll and writes and I actually found your channel back in the day due to your top Roll and write games. I finally got Rolling Realms about 5 months ago and we were bored to tears. This looks better!

Game ruins ME canon, not playing it
