What a great playthrough. You really showcased nearly everything in the game. I may have miased it at the beginning, but i think for the whole game, you mixed up the wood/metal cube symbols. Overall it doesnt matter because everyone played it the same, but it may have made completing items easier.
@@SilverFear yeah, we got the symbols confused but still played the right prices for the symbols as we understood them, so it didn’t actually impact the gameplay but we did make sure to make an onscreen note of it and I need to pin a comment about that too. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!
I am so burned out of this kind of game. I call them "spreadsheet euros", and they feel like they are designed by AI. Low interaction, bloated, worker placement, fulfill contracts, pasted on theme... ugh Recently played Age of Steam for the first time, and it felt like a breath of fresh air, it is incredible to feel that from a 20+ year old game.
Sorry you feel that way, but I honestly disagree with most of your takes - there's more interaction than your average euro, with plenty of opportunities to intentionally or inadvertently screw up other players, the contract fulfillment is fairly strategic in both what it takes to fulfill them and the timing and order in which you do them, and every theme is pasted on to some extent, but this one integrates it very well
It's definitely a lot, But that can be said of any heavy game - this isn't a game for your friend who just got into gaming, but if you've played any sort of heavier game with lots of choices, then it's pretty intuitive with really good iconography. I'm overwhelmed any time I look at TI4, and Hegemony made my head spin when I saw it for the first time, but does that mean I shouldn't play it, or I just need to know what I'm getting in to?
@@PlaytheGameHQ Brass, Through the Ages, Terra Mystica are among my favorites, being heavy is not the problem. It is generic. In a month or two almost no one will be talking about this one. Glad you enjoyed, but as you explained the rules I literally rolled my eyes
@@PlaytheGameHQ "every theme is pasted on to some extent" is a cope. The extent matters. I could change this game to "build containers" "find for exotic animals" "build cruise ships" with almost no effort and it would fit just as well.
@@PlaytheGameHQ I had the same feeling seeing this, as I had when I saw youtubers talking about Guttenberg, Lacrimosa and (ironically) so many other games I don't remember. One of my boardgame friends buys a game a week, and he loves to scavenge for deeply discounted bottom of the barrel games, and I have a feeling this will be in his shelf in a year or so. To finish on a positive note: You 3 are really charismatic
