@@RollingSoloMovie art generally doesn’t look good overtime, it generally just look “old”, regardless how innovative the movies were at the time. While drawing art will last longer… at least that’s the way I see it, that’s why I’m also fine with drawing art. It’s a game after all, it doesn’t have to look like a movie. My 2¢
Remembered owning Legendary Marvel. God that game is tedious then just realize all dbg games are like that but i heard a good things about Alien one. Hopefully this one good
on the fence with this, I have so much legendary already, I'm not sure I need more. not only interested in the Matrix, but also on the fence to get James Bond
I owned LE Aliens and really like the scenario part of these games but the deck building part is kinda boring to me. Does the HQ and deckbuilding feel the same?
I find the initial deck building at the beginning to be slow (during Act 1; which is normal as deck builders take a little bit to get rolling) but once you've built up your recruit points heading into Act 2 things really start to open up and the game is also throwing wrenches at you far more often. I like the changes made to the deck when jumping into Act 2 as it has big time impacts on your strategy. If you enjoyed Aliens, I think you'll enjoy the Matrix.
I don't have the date but the game is already showing up in the wild. In Canada it's already hit online stores. I believe it was officially released at the timeframe of Gen Con which is how I got my copy but I'm seeing it popping up in FLGS now too. Thanks for watching!
@@RollingSoloI hope they will translate it in French for Canada/France… I’m fine with English, but if I want to play it with friends & family, they only understand French, which is quite tough for a Deckbuilding game you need to read… Worse case scenario, I will buy it and just play solo. We’ll see :)

This video was more helpful than the rulebook!!!! Thank you so much! Great job explaining the setup and gameplay! :-)
Thanks so much! That’s the aim with my videos. Get you into the fun of the game so much faster! See you around 😄
Rock and a hard place with this one, absolutely love the matrix and legendary but not the art in this set.
That’s ok! I’m happy it’s not using the movie art as I find that tacky looking. So far I’m good with the art. 😄

@@Spidouz 100% with you
Thanks for sharing. Have it on the way. Was a bit difficult to find, but I did snag a copy.
Awesome! Glad you managed to get a copy. It’s heading out there into the wild. 😄
Different art styles on the cards is a little off-putting.
There is different art styles but similar to many other card games in the hobby there’s usually multiple artists involved. Thanks for watching!
I sort of agree, but Alien is like that too, and it’s still awesome. And they’re both better than Terraforming Mars!
That’s a fact. TM is…yikes to me.
Remembered owning Legendary Marvel. God that game is tedious then just realize all dbg games are like that but i heard a good things about Alien one. Hopefully this one good
Alien is the best of the bunch and I’m beginning to think this one is in the same camp. Those are the top two for me easily.
Wow another Beautiful Intro and video. Thanks Adam!
Appreciate the kinds words. Glad you enjoyed it. This game is fun and I’m a big fan of The Matrix which makes it all fun. 📞
on the fence with this, I have so much legendary already, I'm not sure I need more. not only interested in the Matrix, but also on the fence to get James Bond
For me Alien and The Matrix are the only Legendary Encounters games I need atm. Thanks for watching!

I find the initial deck building at the beginning to be slow (during Act 1; which is normal as deck builders take a little bit to get rolling) but once you've built up your recruit points heading into Act 2 things really start to open up and the game is also throwing wrenches at you far more often.
