Just picked up Scythe, and your review touched on or cleared up a couple of points I'd either not seen elsewhere or hadn't been well explained. Cheers for a few good chuckles, too.
Your camera, lighting, voice and tone and use of words to describe, explain and review is brilliant. Really enjoyed watching this. Hope you find the time and energy to do more of these!
Thanks M. Sadly my day job is now as a tech reviewer too, which makes doing this as a hobby less attractive! Will still be doing the ocassional one though.
Great review but the fact it can be played solo and still plays great is a major omission. There’s also a really good digital version that provides online multiplayer games that is a much cheaper option.
Ahh, you're absolute right, I didn't cover that because I don't play solo, but I should have mentioned it. For me, board games are always a group thing. If I want to play something alone, I play a videogame. I used to play Scythe online, but only using Tabletop Simulator (in VR!)
@@TabletopDungeon sadly my mates are not interested so I’ve only ever played solo . However I have played the online version against others many times and love it. Might get it to the table this weekend after your review! It’s rekindled my desire to play it again. Keep up the good work.
@Tabletop Dungeon Great review👌 I choose Scythe as the heart of my Gamification of Strategic Thinking seminar and we play Scythe in teams on Steam. So for 5 actors we have 5 teams with 5 players each and the team leader gets decision support by the other team members who are Red Teaming the other teams. Great for doing SWOT Analysis, OODA Loop and being punished for bad analysis and strategical inflexibility.😎

Unless the goal is to be the first to review, No review is ever late. If this is the first review a prospective buyer or player of Scythe sees, then the release of this review is perfectly timed. Though, as highly proliferated as Scythe is, I can see your point.
@@TabletopDungeon Just as a counterpoint, I feel your speech and speed was perfectly fine. Well measured and clear, I don’t require a speed review when trying to grasp the concept of a game being broken down haha

Awesome breakdown. Going back and forth on picking up Scythe and your video helped. Thanks!

You are doing this so well, I wish you would make more of those reviews.

Do Mage Knight Ultimate.
Not average/medium complexity - it is Heavy. (but not Very Heavy).
Hmm, maybe... But I'd say it's very easy to pick up the fundamentals; it's the deeper strategy that's hard.
@@TabletopDungeon I would totally agree with this. Learning the how the game works and its core mechanics is fairly simple.
This review is kinda late 🤠

Need to watch this at x2 the speed, you talk so slow in this video
Duly noted!
My speed thanks!
