@@trash1161 I got it from a site called Every Game You Play which is based in Italy. At the time, it was on sale for half the price it’s selling for now.
Nice review. I've been playing dead men tell no tales, pandemic rome and the two sub terra games, oh and all the forbidden. Whether you like or have those it would be great to see the reviews on them...I've seen you've done some of those aleady and agree with your sub terra one.
Love the review. Spot on in every regard. Some thoughts during the video. I am in Mensa and I can't remember these types of tiles to save my life. It impacts everyone. While I'm not advocating for conquistadors, I love this theme and wish publishers recognized they're making all games sterile and historically inaccurate (bring the slave back to Libertalia!) This review was all content, no bollocks... Only place you can find this type of review. Keep it up.
lol, I managed to get this game just yesterday and the review is posted today? Wow. Btw, the type of people who would be offended by this are people I want to offend anyway, so the theme is a bonus.
If I can find it cheap sure but all I can find now is price around $60 to $110 for that price I would like better looking tiles it might be the cam or my phone but I can see cross hatching on those tiles there cheaply made
Looks decent this one. The box does look shit, and you're right that I would normally see the box and theme and swerve it, but I am always open to having my mind changed. They could easily reskin this as a moon/mars colony type thing, instead of the small pox genocide theme that it currently has, but whatever.
People can play whatever games they like, and people can be grossed out by whatever games are gross to them. Games should just be somewhere the person spending time “in” them wants to be. Businesses will make decisions by where the money is, since that’s how they figure out what’s gross or not to them. I’m pretty sure the game I’m working on is going to get a lot of hate. That’s not at all why I feel passionate about creating it, and my shoulders are already limbered up for shrugging at people. Anyway, I watch the channel to hear straightforward opinions instead of a marketing spiel, and if I disagree on things now and again, so be it. Still going to watch.
Funny that this box will not be reprinted. So I may actually profit from the woke insanity. SM acknowledges the theme btw inside the box. Gameplay is very satisfying.
It's ok if you play a war game that you have to kill the other's people to win but it's not OK to play a game about colonization 🫣. I really like the strategic depth of this game. The iconography might be hard to read but with the aid it's ok. My only problem with the game is that happiness icon is creepy.
Once again, quite entertaining AND informative. Bravo.
What a coincidence, I literally had this arrive on my doorstep yesterday morning (imported from Italy!).
Looking forward to giving it a whirl!
S
??? Me too! Weird since it’s been out 7 years.
Hi - where did you get it from - would love to know

Love the play through perspective. I got a real sense of how to play this. I will be keeping an eye out for this. Cheers.
Buying this of the strength of this review, keep it up pal

Great video! Great game! Love your honesty in all your reviews!

It was a freed slave…
@@BoardGameBollocks Hahaha, making its removal even worse.
Recently bought this game and we really enjoyed it. The art on the box does it a disservice though..
The only problematic thing about this game is when you activate the Bishop and he gives *you* wood. 🤣
Lol 😂😂😂
Would like to get a vid about all the „forbidden“ games, because I love forbidden stuff😅
I only have Forbidden Island now as the others kind of sucked
@@BoardGameBollocksI think you „got me“.
Forbidden Stars was great, though!
@@alvarog.1145 Totally agree, its agem!

Hi where did you manage to find this? thanks
Great review! ❤ Any thoughts on the expansion? Seems to be difficult to find, wondering if it's worthwhile?
If I can find it cheap sure but all I can find now is price around $60 to $110 for that price I would like better looking tiles it might be the cam or my phone but I can see cross hatching on those tiles there cheaply made
Another GREAT video.
Good game, but the replay value wasn’t really there for me…even with the expansion.
So fundamentally you have to get wood, if you want to utilize the bishop, but then it's just going to cost you happiness??
Sounds accurate.
Every time I activate the Bishop I get two Happiness. No joke.
Great review!
Love this game-agree the theme could put SOME people off. Plays great though!
Love the theme, love the game..long live creepy smiley face vps!!!
Yes. It´s a hidden gem.
they're remaking santa maria - it's now called Saltfjord

"Utilise the bishop for 2 happiness" 😂😂
Sorry to hear you can’t get wood
Viagara helps

You could slap a new theme on it like the Hanse and then reprint it.
Do not given in to the WOKE crap.
What happened to Puerto Rico?
Matt,, jeezus might save you if u consider repentance 🙏😃😎😅👍
This game killed Castles for Burgundy for me. Game is amazing. Graphic design - terrible :/
Better graphic design than castles of burgundy then

i relly hate in this game this smaile faces, they scary me every times ))))
SF great game end off don't like the theme go cry in a pillow
There must be a game about being a cheerful transatlantic slave trader, or some such bollocks. One for the kiddies.
There is Z-man games Endeavor.
@@williamblack6912 Have you played Auschwitz-Berkenau? It's a euro worker placement/train game for ages 8 and up.
