Recorded during Spiel 2023 in a very loud room :) Mad props to the cameraman and I apologize for the audio being less than ideal. Hope you enjoy the video! :)
Very good job KoA. This is the video that finally convinced me to drop my pledge. The game seems ok but it’s basically read a card, play some cards, get tokens, spend tokens, read some story card. I don’t think my group will like this as there seems to be lots of downtime (reviewing other playthrough vids)
Just wondering how much does the story take a backseat to the tactical game decisions? I.e. I want to kill the strigga but I know going into that path will result in someone else winning so I should opt to not kill him. In that case it could be a feel bad that the story follows game choices, not that your choices are driven by your desires for the story. May make it feel like, story-wise, you're just along for the ride
You can still win against them. Y being better at killing the striga than them. That is you both fight it but you kill it. This actually happens often at higher player counts. Nothing wrong with teaming up, just do it better (get more tokens) :)
I was excited but they just keep adding too much content. They lore us in with a $55 price point and then just keep creeping up. Ill pass. Im sure I will be able to find plenty of used copies in the future.
How was the actual writing in the game? I found the writing in OLD WORLD to be lacking. It had weird grammar and felt poorly translated at times. Since this is a story based game that would kinda kill it for me.
It was loaded into the delivery truck but for reasons I can't understand they didn't find my house and were unsure if I really live there. So they didn't try it on the next day, didn't drop it off somewhere or contacted me. They did send it right back from Germany to Poland. They even decided to check if I exist under this address and yes they found me. But nonetheless they weren't able to "stop the automated process" of the Parcel going back to Poland directly. I then mailed to the warehouse in Poland but they didn't respond. And since then it's dead silent. That sucks after waiting that long already. Really considering just selling it right away. Could have bought it in store weeks ago..

Love this kind of insight into a game's design, thanks!

Glad I could help in your decision! Downtime very much depends on the players
I noted even in my own review that it can lead some to some mild AP
Great video. I appreciate these type of videos quite a bit.
Happy to provide :)
Great insight into the game. I prefer these over gameplay videos which are a dime a dozen.

Wish old world would have already reached me....
Oh no! Didn't get it?
