I've essentially been binge watching everything FBI that I could and this has to be one of the most fun playthroughs I've seen thus far. Can't wait until my copy shows up.
Nice to see it played. I edited these comments to reflect mine on BGG. I left some comments for J.R. and two at the end for the winner. Here's pertinent ones for here and expanded thoughts.
Questions for Restoration Games:
1) @30:35 I like that bump on the board in the corner to slow the fireball down. Did JR's blue pawn get knocked into the next space which appears to be a snapshot space so you got the snapshot since it was not knocked over?
2) I like the backs of the Snapshot cards I hope you keep those. It sounds like you’ll do the fancy artwork on the flip side?
3) @36:00 she missed Vul-Kar’s hole on top but you said "That’s OK". what would the final rules be? Reset & Replace pawns or accept mistake?
4) Are some sort of fireball marble holders going to come with the game like the white peices you have holding them near the Scar?
5) How often have test players rotated the palm tree bumpers? I think only once or twice here. It might be good to have a symbol on certain cards that allows an option or makes you turn one instead of or in addition to Vul-Kar so they’re in play more often? Or might that 'tactical' decision making slow down the gameplay?
6) What’s the lowest and highest amount of movement on the cards?
7) It makes sense to put the last round card marker in the game you mentioned. But maybe give one to each player so they flip their card so they remember they have two turns before the game actually ends? or maybe the player who ended the game just needs it if it's easy to remember how many turns every has left(?)
8) @44:15 you said “Those two things do not connect.” meaning two spaces do not when the player thought they did. Are there other spots on the board where there would be a question and how would we know (knowing it isn't the finalized board though)?
9) On all your test plays how many players make it to the hello copter on average? I’d guess two.
10) Good too see a hello-copter even if it’s in card form with places on it. Gives a more visual objective than the hello pad. Maybe it could be bigger? It looks fine though. the pawns fit.
Questions for the Dice Hate Me Winner:
11) @53:00 - Interesting combo of cards to be the first to the hello copter! great for the demo. How much was planned out and how much was luck?
12) Extra @32:50 Crows Nest Tipped! However the cool Ship Expansion really didn't come into play that much. But did the winner gain anything substantial from the couple gems he got there?
13) I think you said you were KS backer number 1 !?!
Thank you for your play through, I've watched it a few times, great that the expansions were shown and how they work alongside the main game. I've gone all in with this so I'm itching to get my copy ;)
Still have the original and bought the new game and expansions. But it seems like there is a lot going on now in this game.
Can’t wait to play this game again!
This is a great play-through. I own the game and have played it multiple times myself. What I've noticed is all the play-throughs I see here on RUclips put their treasures face-up on the island. Aren't they supposed to be face-down always?
Some of my favorite people in this video.
Did you forget to roll a fireball via Vul Kar when she stole the heart
Kickstarted this game because I have and love the original. It seems like they tried to add so much to make it different and more of a table top than a bored game. Anxious to try it. Worried I’ll only play the original because it is simple fun and easy to jump in and play. This seems cumbersome at times... but I guess we will see
16:35 she’s suppose to stop at the bridge because it’s unstable
She played the card that allows her not to stop on unstable spaces.
Will also need to make very clear where trails do and do not connect.
Might I suggest making the spots for the snakes and fireballs more clear?
From what I understand the final board will have clear markings for where the fireballs and snakes go, plus alternate path art (and rivers!). This one is the original hand-painted prototype.
Indeed. There are icons in the final board art.
how do you move between the island and the boat?
You get there from going into a cave on the main island and rolling the right number for the Crimson Cutlass exit.
When does it come out?
Restoration Games has stated that they hope to deliver the Kickstarter games in November. Whether that means the base game will be in retail for the holidays is anybody's guess, though.
They said its supposed to ship in November.
Women don't like adventure just kids and dramas. They ruined the game with their reluctance..
What are you even talking about?
I'm talking about distractions ("what color am I? let me see, mmm"), sighs, yawns, playing with the dog until being said to stop it. They didn't wanted to play that board game. They prefer puzzles, games like Dixit, etc. Fireball island is not typical women cupoftea.
Given that I was playing the game I’m comfortable saying none of your comments bear resemblance to reality
What Ruth said. Also, we all asked what color we were at one point and JR was the one that yawned a couple times because he'd been constantly on the road for two weeks demonstrating the game and was exhausted. I never asked anyone to stop playing with the dog - I asked Indy to stop getting up on people's laps. Ruth and Lillian were just as much into the game as JR and me, and were definitely as cutthroat. I believe you need to reevaluate your views on women gamers.
An image - not to say a video - is worthier than a thousand words. I'm not worried to tell the truth.
