    Terraforming Mars is an evergreen for us too!
    Love to see you getting back to immersing yourself in games you love. We’re only 1.5 years in as a channel, and the aspect of new new new has already been overwhelming us with our content. We have too many wonderful games that we haven’t been able to get more than 1 or 2 plays on, as we’re always driven forward. Time for a change and a shift.

      @binnieb173 Месяц назад +1

      @@Quackalope are there expansions for Root that you think are great and add to the core game?
      I only have the basic game. The issue is it's hard to ever get a game going, so I never feel like adding MORE is a smart thing to do. But if some of that more would make the base game just better... Then I would give that a try.

    • @user-cw4zj6kc8u
      @user-cw4zj6kc8u Месяц назад +1

      @@binnieb173 Root Veteran here. I have everything but the playmates. Root is notoriously hard to table because most people feel like it's too much for them. Because of this I'd say your first expansion should be Clockwork 1 so that you can play it solo or at lower player counts but with bots to keep the golden four faction player count up. Once you have that I'd grab the Exiles and Partisans deck for the first small thing. It's a significantly better deck but also gives you some interesting variety to the game. Beyond that I think it depends on what you like most about Root. Do you like big army factions? Maybe go Marauder. It gives you two great heavyweight factions. Though the Keepers in Iron are notoriously complex to master. While the Lord of Hundreds is just a fun big army faction. It will also give you an introduction to hirelings. Both of these elements of more big army factions and hirelings make two player root way more fun. But let's say you like more insurgent factions and like learning more unique and complex factions. And you really like the vagabond: Go Riverfolk. It will give you a faction of cultist bent on converting the woodland to their dark faith and a marketplace faction that is trying to make bank by selling their wares and mercenaries. You will also get three new vagabonds as well as a second vagabond board so that you can have two vagabond players at once. If you absolutely love the vagabond and have the Riverfolk expansion: grab the Vagabond pack. It will give you three new vagabonds as well as a custom meeple for every vagabond in the game. Giving you a total of 9 vagabonds to choose from. Want a taste of both a new militant faction and an insurgent faction and want more maps to play on? Go Underground expansion. You'll get a ministry of royal moles bent on colonizing the surface. Able to dig and pop up anywhere on the map and conquer clearings while they build their engine of royal ministers to gain more power. Or be an underground cell of saboteurs. Planting bombs and traps and playing mind games with your hidden plots to keep your opponents guessing. Then play on two new maps with a mountain map with new paths that you can uncover and a king of the hill mechanic at its center. Or a lake map with a giant lake in the middle making travel more limited with a raft that players will battle for control over. Root is very versatile. I really recommend getting it all but I built my collection gradually. If you want a good path I'd say follow what sounds interesting to you. But first and foremost grab the first clockwork expansion so that you can table Root whenever you want and won't be pulling teeth to try and get people to play it.
      TL:DR:
      1. Clockwork 1> 2. Exiles and Partisans Deck > 3. Choose what you want more off: More militant factions + Hirelings: Marauder / More Insurgent Factions + more Vagabond: Riverfolk + Vagabond Pack / Bit of both Militant and Insurgent factions + More maps: Underground. > 4. If you have all of the big expansions then completionism would mean grab the Clearing Markers, Clockwork 2 and the remaining Hirelings and the playmats.

    oh man, we have 6 games in common we are obsessing over, it really goes to show you how much of an influence your tastes had on me, some games I'm also obsessing over are Twilight Imperium 4th Edition with the Prophecy of Kings Expansion which I finally found a group of friends crazy enough to want to tackle this game twice per month! the other game is Cloudspire, ive only played it once but I've been thinking about it over and over again for the better part of a year. on another note, when you called Berserk " berserker" you broke my heart a little bit

    My regulars are Root, Oath and Moonrakers: Titan. Still play The Grizzled and Catan as the games that started it all. I'd love to get into KDM too I'm just wondering if I'd have the patience for the model making. I like the idea of having a boss battler/campaign game. I am waiting on Arcs so maybe that will help but having a more RPG style game would be great. I have also been getting into chess lately. Currently rivaling a 1500 player. I'm no master but I can hold my own now.

    I have played Catharsis several times and couldn't get into it. I liked the idea but there were so many grammatical errors on the cards and nonsensical art that I was mixed between enjoyed the gameplay and being totally distracted by the presentation. Some of the art is just bizarre and seemed so unrelated to what the actual card is. I didn't get it.

      That’s to bad - I enjoy the story (due to dyslexia I don’t often notice errors to be honest) and really like the mechanics engine behind it!
      I’m also a bit more forgiving to small or new publishers. This is by far the most indi game in the list.
      I can see those frustrations being a limiting factor however! So I understand :)
