    Tom, for doing that component drop, you are really, really brave.

    Only in a Uwe Rosenberg game would a the difference between a short and long game be a single turn.

    The playerboard probably represents a viking grave so the tetris part totally makes sense. Viking jarls or wealthy vikings were buried together with lots of stuff, clothes, food, treasures, weapons and so on.

    This might be Mr. Rosenberg's Magnum Opus. Amazing. Would love to play this but not sure who with, but willing to give it a shot.

    "Pile of milk." Another Tom-ism.
    This game looks super good! I love the idea of covering up negative points.

      Well, technically, if I have a pile of milk tokens....

    • @jd5iron

    That component drop. I'm sure Broken Token and the likes are salivating at the possibilities.

    This has quickly become one of my favorite games. I love that there is always a pretty good move out there to do but it is up to you to find the best one. The Tetris puzzle aspect is great. So many strategies to go with. I haven't played Le Havre yet but this easily beats out Agricola and Caverna.

    Here I was thinking "Double Trouble" was going to be Tom and Melody working together to cover nice light family weight games. (This game frightens me.)

    • @jaxommm
      @jaxommm 8 лет назад +1

      This impresses me. Melody can clearly handle heavier games than I can!

    Holy cow! Looks like an analysis-paralysis factory. I think I'll stick with more simple games-- such as anything by Stefan Feld.

    • @smoothcriminal28
      @smoothcriminal28 7 лет назад

      Syncopator This year's offering, The Oracle of Delphi is one of his best games to date.

    • @DocHollidayGames
      @DocHollidayGames 7 лет назад +2

      After two games this game has become quick between turns, no analysis paralysis. Robinson Crusoe would an AP factory, not this game.

  • @curtissocha6371
    @curtissocha6371 7 лет назад

    About to play this for the first time this afternoon. Looking forward to it very much. I love Agricola, and also Caverna. This looks right up my alley, though I really do not like analysis paralysis. I think the simplest solution to that is to have a clock, especially with more than 2 players. There is joy to be found in the calculations, though I do enjoy interaction just as much. I'll see how it goes...great review.

    Is this one of those games where "point salad" is used to describe it?
    Rosenberg seems to really like choice boards, feeding mechanics, and filling out a player board.

    Tom/Melody: I'm planning the Christmas gifts. What do you suggest. Should I go for Feast for Odin outer Terraforming Mars (I love Caverna if this changes anything).

  • @davidcook9568
    @davidcook9568 5 лет назад

    This review being over 2 years old now, do you think it dethroned Caverna? Or which would you rather. I ordered A Feast for Odin from my game store the other day but I do not own Caverna yet. Wondering if that was a wise idea.

    melodys mic seems like it gets turned up every time she speaks, meaning you can hear static...maybe putting it closer ?

    I think the dice rolling for hunting and pillaging are 100% thematic. In reality if you're doing either of those things you're not going to automatically be successful. I think people are too quick with the "dice rolls bad" knee jerk reaction.

    It would be informative to have the cover of the game in the video's Image, like in other reviews, so we can tell not only by the name of the game. It works better for me at least, it may help.

    • @jaxommm
      @jaxommm 8 лет назад

      Scythe is a medium weight...I don't agree with the 3.30 on BGG. I think Scythe is about a 3.00 tops. This one looks heavy, but not insanely so. 3.5? Too heavy for me, but it's not like it's a Phil Eklund game. I think it just has a whole LOT OF CARDBOARD!

    $170 for this where I live.

    • @jaxommm
      @jaxommm 8 лет назад +2

      That's because someone is trying to cheat you. it hasn't been released yet. Wait a while. It shouldn't cost more than $50 or $60 in a couple months.

  • @TheMrE

    So many moving parts, options and weird rules. Looks like complexity for complexity's sake. Is this really fun to anybody?

    • @doogxela

      There was somebody I heard that enjoyed it. I know I heard it somewhere. Hmm. Gosh, I just can't think where I heard a person (or was it two people) saying they enjoyed it! Surely it will come back to me.

    • @JulienGrenier42

    • @jaxommm

      Tom gave it an 8.5, so he clearly found it fun!

    • @jaxommm
      @jaxommm 8 лет назад +1

      This is also definitely NOT complexity for complexity's sake. Uwe doesn't make games like that. It also seems to make sense. It is way too heavy for me, but it clearly all comes together for those that can handle heavier games.

  • @faramirtheranger

    Let's play this with the AP player and the psychiatrist (the one that likes to discuss all possible choices) that would be fun.

    I don't like the new wave of Rosenberg's i am an Agricola and LeHavre guy, since Caverna every game is too much sand-boxy for my tastes.

    • @DiegoDeschain
      @DiegoDeschain 5 лет назад +1

      As someone who suffers from anxiety, I agree. Too much choices means fear of screwing up, which means AP, which means other players getting annoyed at you. lmao

    • @jendubay3782
      @jendubay3782 4 года назад

      Diego Lima meh, but all choices are good. There’s really no ‘bad’ choice until the very last turn

    Rosenburg. The Call of Duty of board gaming. Mash up similar mechanics and visuals over and over, and it still sells. I'll never understand. This game looks 10x messier than Fields of Arle. I'm going to rank it a 2, maybe 2 and a half. Pass. I'll stick to Glass Road and Patchwork.

  • @DarthMessias
    @DarthMessias 4 года назад +1

    Absolutely unenjoyable. Too many things happening, too many minigames (with different rules), just a multiplayer solitaire game, and takes 3-5 hours. Just torture. A very high quality torture device - but a torture device none the less.
