A board game channel talking about what games you should be bringing to the table Reviews are coming soon to the channel Email: drewtabletalk@gmail.com
I have panic on wall street. It's awesome. It's like a party game for gamers. I just got my most wanted grail game Bruges plus expansions so I can relate to this vid! I also own arabian nights and smersh and even though I love the theme of smersh more, arabian nights just has fantastic writing. It gets so funny which after playing a number of story games, I realize is kind of the point of them. So we always end up pulling out arabian nights over all the other story games unless we want more of a game in which case we opt for burgle bros a good bit.
Hasbro did everyone dirty on HeroScape in my opinion. $250 for everything and they required 8000 backers...and the minis weren't painted! I had the whole set in the early 00's and the initial sets were like $40 and the expansions were like $12. You could find them at any retail store. The Hasbro campaign was just a greedy money grab in my opinion. They could have totally released the updated game retail like they did before. Granted, I don't know all the behind the scenes info, but that whole thing was suspect in my opinion. Also, you mentioned a grail game being something that is out of your budget/price range (cost). Would you consider games pushing $100+ to be in that category? Like, when Frosthaven comes to retail for $250, is that a grail game...cuz ain't now way I can justify spending that much on a game and I couldn't commit to the Kickstarter.
I feel you there, I know plastic is more expensive than it used to be, but they could've done lower price tiers or promoted it more and featured it on channels. I think that's a great defintion. I think current games are worth it more if they actually hold that much content, but I will only go that much for my greatest game of all time and that was with a bunch of expansions (Marvel United)
Congrats on how much your channel has grown!!!
Thanks so much!
Techno Bowl may get a reprint this year as hinted by the designer
No way! I’m excited

The Game Steward website has Lands of Galzyr, but it’s $200 😕
Didn’t know that but 200 is pretty steep. Thanks for the heads up!
