11:55 Hmm, I am not sure if I agree with that point. I feel like there is always going to be a balance between iconography and having every single text printed on everything (in this case, the player mat). I can understand the designer's decision where they wanted a bit free space to showcase the art, and the amount of iconography memorization in Scythe isn't really that unreasonable. Unlike Voidfall, now that game was a nightmare in iconography quantity...
This is a fun, entertaining video that i think is lost on people. The intense attitude is fun but id also like to see your genuine persona too! Im just not a fan of the click baity youtube thumbnails/personas, i like seeing real people on here! Great video regardless, i vibe with the lack of visual clarity from the rulebook.
@BoardGameHackers will also say you are doing a fantastic job. I dont want these minor opinions to take away from that mate. Keep doing your thing, its pretty awesome!
Great Vid, I am suprised you didn't talk about the biggest weekness of the game, Red and Yellow are way too powerful, Green and Purple are shitty... How do you Buff/Nerf them?
@@BoardGameHackers Not sure how much "meat" is on them, but they're games i find really interesting. -Mice and Mystic -Last Night on Earth -Mysterium -Betrayal at the house on the hill -Heroquest I imagine at least some of them would have some obvious exploits I'm unaware of :)
>"Endless expansions" >2 expansions Lol This is such a weird video. A bunch of the criticisms are just nothing burgers lol. I got the very first wave of Scythe, still have it, and we still play it regularly. Theme is fantastic. The rulebook was adequate and only needed slight tweaks. Components were/are great. Action boards are sweet. Gameplay is still better than most games released today. There are some valid criticisms for Scythe, but boy this video ain't it.
@@MagnificentDevil 2 expansions for the main game, the rest are not considered expansions but "add ons" that in no way affect the main game. The campaign is a separate thing but I guess could be considered an expansion in a technical sense. You need none of these for the game to be enjoyable, but I do recommend the main two expansions. The upgrades and board extensions in no way affect the game. So..
I appreciate a good hater. Genuinely happy for you. I think I hate you though. It's petty and I'm enjoying that but I'm upset that it feels like I'm sharing the feeling with you. I subscribed.
@@BoardGameHackers yea I generally prefer games where I can just start headbutting everything. Favorite is Epic Spell Wars Annihilageddon 2: Xtreme Nacho Legendz, soon to be replaced by Epic Spell Wars Annihilageddon 3: Satanic Panic lol
@@BoardGameHackers Root, Dune Imperium, Nemesis, Northgard, Resurgence, Champions of Midgard... I mean I love euro games and before buying it, I was completely prepared that Scythe it's euro game with area control reskin, but it's just boring. And I even got metallic coins, realistic resources, additional factions, but it was just meh and it was sold after less than 10 plays.
Holy shit this is fantastic 🤣 Don't ever change your style!
I cant believe how few subscribers you have with this level of production quality
Thank you! working on it ;)
Its a fantastic game, both design and production!
Someone has an axe to grind.... Did Jamey Stegmaier hurt your feelings or something? lol.
haha. na, I'm just evil like that.

i see your point, beauty trumps the more experienced of a player you become and thus don't need reminders.
Scythe is among the best strategy games ever. For sure it is in my best top ten games of all time.
I can diffidently agree that scythe is a stellar game!

Thank you for the insights, I'm currently working this advice into my next-next video. cheers!

ya, I could have spent some time on the balancing. I did make 2 other vids on this game tho, check them out. Cheers!
@@BoardGameHackers I did, good stuff, but I did not see anything about balancing the teams, if you have any idea that would be appreciated.
I love your content man :) Do you take recommendations for games to peek at? Or is it more based on your personal interest?
hit me with your list, I'll take a look-see. Cheers
@@BoardGameHackers Not sure how much "meat" is on them, but they're games i find really interesting.
-Mice and Mystic
-Last Night on Earth
-Mysterium
-Betrayal at the house on the hill
-Heroquest
I imagine at least some of them would have some obvious exploits I'm unaware of :)
I'm looking for your Axis & Allies: North Africa video, but I can't find it. Did you take it down?
yes, it was revealed to me that I was very wrong in more than one area. I will be re-uploading with an edit soon enough. thanks!
I wait eagerly for the day you review Dune (2019) by GF9
couldnt manage more than a minute.
i love the game
I understand others may not
but this feels like a roast of a game for some unconnected reason.
>"Endless expansions"
>2 expansions
Lol

It has 3 expansions.
3 expansions, optional board extension, 2 sets of promo cards, metal coin upgrade, resource token upgrades, neoprene mat...

17:00 They get nerfed the more people you invite to game night. Hahahah how true that is.
Careful not to have too many friends ;)
Hey mate. Any opinions on the Eric M. Lang war game trilogy?
Great vid as always, btw.
I haven't played but I did just search it and, looks pretty awesome.
Thanks for the support. Cheers!
Love your energy, if you ever get around to doing legacy games, I'd love to see what you have to say about Roborally and HerosQuest
ooo, I'll have to put those on my list. Many thanks!
I cant tell if the video title is about the video itself or the game lol
hahaha. let me know where the video was lacking, I'm always looking to improve!
@@BoardGameHackers I was just teasing lol. I appreciate the video. I'm going through a board game purge and Scythe is staying in the collection.
I appreciate a good hater. Genuinely happy for you. I think I hate you though. It's petty and I'm enjoying that but I'm upset that it feels like I'm sharing the feeling with you. I subscribed.
Not sure how I feel after reading this, but I'll be taking it as a compliment. Cheers ;)
Your editing is obviously high effort which I appreciate
Great video :D
Thanks! 😁
LOVE YOUR CONTENT
Thank you muchly!
31 to 40 rounds!? Yeah... no... My games are done in 20 to 25.
According to the stats, not Polonia but Russviet is considered OP. But nevertheless, I don't like Scythe anyway.
interesting info, I'm assuming this comes from the digital version? Cheers
Yea I am way too stupid to play this or anything like it
🤣 Cheers!
@@BoardGameHackers yea I generally prefer games where I can just start headbutting everything. Favorite is Epic Spell Wars Annihilageddon 2: Xtreme Nacho Legendz, soon to be replaced by Epic Spell Wars Annihilageddon 3: Satanic Panic lol
Unbearable video. This dude presents criticism like an alien.
interesting. How so? I would love to hear your feedback so my next videos are better! Cheers
The cadence you put into your voice is pretty annoying. Just speak normally.
interesting, always looking for tips for the next video. I'll keep that in mind. cheers
@@BoardGameHackers Its almost like you're doing a William Shatner impression.
Amazing graphics on so things and they horribly failed on the main thing.. the game board? wtf..
1st lol
have you played Scythe?
@@BoardGameHackers nope but i like your hacks videos
thank you! I see you've got a bunch of Risk games. Turns out we've got something in common. ;)
@@BoardGameHackers i do i enjoy collecting and playing the various versions of Risk .have a blessed day
Unbearable to watch.
I'm always looking to improve, please let me know where things broke down for you. Cheers!
I fucking hate this game xD It sucks major balls 😂
HAHA, what game would you rather be playing?

The board is hideous.
you don't like it? haha, nice
