    Vaalbara is definitely a game that caught me off guard.
    I tend to play heavier games but got it on a whim and it’s become a staple amongst our group. Whenever we’re waiting on one or two people to show up for the more intense games, we run through a few rounds of it.

    You gotta give Dune another go. It is such a good game. Many people feel the 2nd expansion Rise of Ix really gives this game some bite with the addition of technologies.

      Yes, I just got Rise of Ix. I will convince Flash to try it again!

      @jamestriplett5854 Yes and so is the 2nd expansion for the 1st game Immortality!

      @@boardgametotears I have that too, but it doesn't change the 'meta' of the game as much as IX. The sequel really changes the economy too.

    Never had a dull game of Dune:Imperium and i have played over 50 games of the base game alone.

      Agreed! I have to set Flash straight on that one!

    I’m so glad to see someone finally give Emerge its due credit. I was immediately taken by the look and was first in line at the Pandasaurus booth at GenCon 2023…….. and then nothing. They never seemed to promote it, and the reviews were ok to good at best. We have such a fun time with it. The dice chucking and manipulation to take actions is such a satisfying puzzle each round. Glad to see you enjoyed it!

    The game that surprised me the most last year, in a good way, was The Vale of Eternity. Such an elegant little game, easy rules, deep strategy. Totally unexpected.

    I really enjoyed Mr. President, but found it too easy even on hard difficulty. Hoping the expansion changes that, it definitely should not be an easy one!

      Wow! Perhaps you should be running in the US election this year - I have found it to be a good challenge, especially getting Legacy building legislation through.

    Are you ever going to finish the Avalon Hill Story? It stops with 1991 so where is the rest of the story?

    • @LegendaryTactics
      @LegendaryTactics  13 дней назад +2

      It's coming! It's mostly written and just needs the final editing. They take a long time to make and a lot of focused energy (not my strong point). But my goal is to get it done for next month.

    Watched this video, then some of your dedicated videos on Mr. President, then read some reviews, then pre-ordered the 2nd edition of the game. Thanks for the recommendation!

      Captains of Industry is an older game (2015) that the board was meh but the game play was amazing... a purely player driven economy with production facilities producing seven kinds of goods, nine markets for selling these goods, and four sectors of four real estate areas which drives the demand for goods.
      Lacrimosa was introduced to me last January and the artwork was amazing ... but how would it play? The premise is that you take the roles of patrons, recruited by Constanze, Mozart's widow, to help finish his last composition. The card play mechanic reminded me of Lisboa (one of my favs) -- it was a hoot as it plays over just four rounds!

    If you paid for Fractured Sky, which is 179$+20$ shipping =199$ it would be a very very bad surprise for you. 200$ for a light filler game.
    Luckily IV Studios gave you the game, so you can promote it. It would be a whole other ball game if you bought it. I like how IV Studios gives game bundles of 500+$ to "RUclips influencers" to promote their games, but it is not a sponsored video 😂

      Fractured Sky has enough complexity that it would be more in the medium range. It's going to take time to set up and to play. It's entirely possible that I have less stake in the game, but I am always conscious of the fact that I received a review copy. The measure I would use is whether I will buy this game. After doing some content on the video, I gave it to one of the fellows who played it with me. I had to borrow it back for this video. I'm sorely tempted to buy the game should my family ask to play it more. I would likely buy the one with less bling because I genuinely like the game. Absolutely worth it for 69$. You're right that with the cost of shipping, and for the tricked out game, it's likely overpriced. I'm glad you put "Influencers" in quotations, because I would not consider myself an influencer. I would say I'm a person who enjoys games, and when I like them, I want to share them with others.

      I (Nato) disagree, but there's no accounting for Flash's tastes:)
