  • Who would've guessed that it would be the THEME that convinced Amy to try a solo game! Conservas is all about balancing your commercial fishery business (preserving seafood in cans) with the sustainability of the ocean marine life. You will need to achieve both types of goals to pass the 12 scenarios included in the game - and it won't be easy (they call it a challenging solo bag building game and they were not kidding around!)
    Note: This is a pre-production prototype copy of the game. We have not rated this game as the rules and components are subject to change.

    Thanks for stopping by! We're Amy & Maggie aka ThinkerThemer. We're an Australian couple with two very different perspectives of what makes a great board game - Amy (Thinker) is all about the mechanics and enjoys tight, competitive games, and Maggie (Themer) is all about the storytelling and the theme of the game, and the 'world' that the designer is trying to create. Subscribe to our channel to hear us talk about these two elements of a game, and how well integrated we feel these are in delivering a cohesive and wonderful game experience.

    Thank you for this review. I think I would love this game. I will have to take a look of some digital implementation of it, it it ever comes out in digital.

    I had absolutely no interest in Conservas until I saw your review and that's because you did an excellent overview of the game (and I appreciate all the B roll too). The "pulling five token out of a bag and allocating them" reminds me of a game called Warp's Edge. which I own and enjoy. I like the theme and the artwork too. (Oh, just realized...Scott Almes also is the designer of Warp's Edge!) In any case, I am now following the campaign. Looks like it's launching on Feb. 7. Thanks for posting!

      Thanks so much James! 🙏 Maggie puts a lot of time into B roll so it's really nice to get this feedback. Appreciate you! ✨️

    So I like solo games like Friday and Maquis, so I will give this a try. Thanks for introducing.

      Whimsical game. Thanks for the upbeat video 😊 Conservas 😊...bag drafting is more fun than card shuffling 😊 reminds me of Deep Dive 🐧🐟,🌀🎣 Namiji, Atiwa 🦇🍑 🤗

    Not a fan of canned fish, but the theme is really charming! And I like the mechanics as well. Definitely one to look out for.

    • @ThinkerThemer
      @ThinkerThemer  4 месяца назад +1

      And really hard too!!! I think you'd enjoy the challenge! Thanks Richard for commenting over here! ❤️

    wonderful review. I am breaking my "no kickstarters" rule for this game. cannot go wrong with any of Salt & Peppers new games. my only reservation is should I wait for 25th century to repackage to match my other S&P ported games.

    • @ThinkerThemer
      @ThinkerThemer  4 месяца назад

      Thank you for the lovely feedback & glad the video was helpful! S&P are on a roll! ✨️

    I love solo games, and this game looks great! I loved Salt & Pepper's Witchcraft, and enjoy playing Scott Almes Games from Button Shy's Simply Solo range.

    I still play Final Girl because of the theme (but mostly with my partner, discussing our options together). Solo!ish

    • @ThinkerThemer
      @ThinkerThemer  4 месяца назад +1

      I haven't tried overseeing Maggie on this one! I'll have to watch her next time... no doubt offering unsolicited back-seat driver suggestions LOL

    Solo only games are very interesting for me. I think i should buy it. Thank you for your great video. 🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🌊

    Great overview. I especially appreciate the caveat of unlikely replay. Love the theme. Love the packaging. 🥫Love canned fish beyond reason.🐟 Attention span of a squirrel.😉 So, this one is just not for me.

    • @ThinkerThemer
      @ThinkerThemer  4 месяца назад +1

      Lollll I feel that! When I play solo (Amy here) there's no one to tell me it's my turn and keep track of the rounds so I always forget what I'm up to! Look forward to being distracted together soon

  • @terry3733H
    @terry3733H 4 месяца назад +1

    Actually Atiwa replay is also low for me...I just picked the bat-conservation strategy and not interested in other ($, human community) paths anyway 😅
