      Pandemic Legacy is a huge game changer in terms showing the potential board games have for creating emergent storytelling. Definitely worth it if you have a group of friends who can commit to it. You have to play it 12-24 times to "beat" it so it's a big committment but if you like regular Pandemic, Legacy will blow your mind.

    Betrayal on the House of the Hill has become one of my all-time favorite games (possibly my all-time favorite game) because of how unique of a game it was. I've never played anything like and every game is different, and every play through is unique in its own way. It's always one we play when we have our game nights with friends. 10/10 would recommend

    Betrayal is so fucking good. Mild spoiler but also it's been 4 years but also some haunts don't have traitors, some haunts only get traitors half way through them. You're so correct about how it's like "you can do that?!" after the haunt is revealed. I've gotten to the point where unfortunately I get repeat haunts but also I still have so many haunts I've never done, and the variety of haunts scenarios is just absolutely wild. Very imaginative story telling.

Super easy after playing 1 or 2 times. lots of cool mechanics to let you draw, buy, and play more cards or force the other players to add detrimental "Curse" cards to their decks worth negative score. Lots of expansions that can be played standalone or mixed and matched with any of the others!

    • @GibbyFromBIGGBY
      @GibbyFromBIGGBY 7 лет назад +1

      I totally agree! There are times though when I really like it being off-balance. As a game that is more geared towards an experience/scenario than it is towards tactical thinking and careful planning, it makes sense that sometimes the Traitor is an unstoppable murder-machine or vice-versa. It can instill feelings of helplessness or power for the players and that just makes it feel real to me.

      I wonder if Mafia (aka Werewolf aka Town of Salem) counts as a traitor game.
      Me and my friends would sit in a circle and use cards from a deck of 52 and spend time murdering each other and hanging heretics and criminals.
      Fun times.

      If you like mafia, try Resistance or Avalon. Its got the same figure out the bad guy mechanic in mafia, but there's no elimination, which I find to be the weakness of mafia.

    I LOVE betrayal at the house on the hill! Issue with it though is the rule book is a bit ambiguous in some situations and it is hard to tell what the exact rule for certain situations is. Some senarios are great, but others, I really wish there was more concise rules

    • @kronik907
      @kronik907 7 лет назад +11

      Except that Catan is so much shittier than so many other games. Its way too random for me. I have never really had fun playing Catan. Scythe is so much more fun as it also combines combat and way more possible actions.

      asher I've played Catan twice now, and before then I didn't think I would like boardgames that much. But Catan has opened my mindset more, and even though I've played Catan only twice. Both of the times I've been close to winning. It's all about placing your starters houses and roads smartly, and getting victory points (e.g having the longest roads e.c.t). I think that the people who don't enjoy it, either don't know how to stratigise properly or just simply aren't good at strategy.

    For anyone who likes deck-building games, have you tried Dominion? I was first introduced to it a couple of years ago, and it remains incredibly fun to this day. It's (for the most part) simple to pick up and learn, but it has immense strategic depth and complexity. There are enough cards (and especially enough expansions) that every game feels unique, and it works well with 2 players or with more. I highly recommend it!

    Just realized something - you are one of the only big RUclips channels who doesn't restrict what they can post, and who's audience doesn't complain about what you post
    Your most popular videos are short comedy skits, but when you post foreign food videos or a video showing off your favorite board games your subscribers are fine with it because you never limited your channel to a specific area of content.
    (Unlike other famous youtubers such as iDubbbz, or AngryJoeShow, who have many negative comments telling them what to post ex: strictly content cop for idubbbz or strictly game reviews for angryjoeshow instead of games AND movies)
    I honestly think ProZD has one of the best communities/followings out there as a channel, and am really looking forward to more board game videos/ whatever other interesting content you have in store !!!

    Eldritch Horror is a great board game. Cooperative too. It does scale kind of poorly to players (1-2 players is insanely hard while 6-8 players can be pretty easy). It's fun when you get the insane weapons/ spells and the lore on the cards is great.

    @apocalypsesquid3037 7 лет назад

    If you like cards and 2 player games, I'd recommend 7 Wonders Duel. It is an altered version of 7 Wonders that is designed specifically for 2 people to play 1v1. It isn't too complicated, but it requires you to draft cards in order to build a powerful city. You have to aim for a scientific, military, or civilian victory while preventing your opponent from doing the same. On top of that there's the Pantheon expansion, which adds a new mechanic that allows you to gain favor with the gods for bonuses. It only takes approx. 30 minutes to play (longer with the expansion). It sells for around $30, so there isn't really a high entry cost. It's pretty fun

  • @dirivial_

    Personally, I really like board games. However, I don't have enough ppl to play with. I used to go over and play with a friend and his family every now and then but now when we've gotten older and want to play more advanced games it's only me and my buddy who takes the time to learn the games.
    I bought a game called "Smallworld" about half a year ago and luckily it's playable with only two people. We managed to get his mother and brother to play with us once but never again. Now they refuse because "it's too complicated".
    I like the concept of working with others in a board game but those tend to include more talking with each other and my friend and his brother aren't very good at cooperating so I don't think that would work. And another thing is that because me and my friend are the only ones willing to invest the time in learning we can't really play some games that would otherwise look really fun/more complicated. We then end up playing boring games like monopoly.
    That game "Betrayal at house on the hill" sounded really fun but I see no way of convincing anyone I know to play it with me, except my "board game buddy". I'm hoping I'll manage to find some people to start playing board games with. I'm getting incredibly tired with monopoly.
    Sorry if something is weird/feels off with this comment. I had a lot of thoughts going around and I don't have the time to go through it. Anyway, loved the video and I look forward to the board game reviews!

I hope you and your board game friend find more people to play with! Nothing more dissatisfying than not having someone to play a board game with when you personally know it's a great game if they just took the time to figure it out! Figuring out how to play the game is part of the fun!

    • @rustyshackleford634
      @rustyshackleford634 7 лет назад +3

      Hey, sometimes you kinda have to say, "fuck it". By this I mean, games that can play solo or multiple people.
      Games that can do this are games like Onirim, Sylvion, Castellion, Nautilion, Robinson Crusoe, Vast the Crystal Caverns.
      Some solo only games as well are Coffee Roaster, Friday, and Space Hulk Death Angel.
      You also might just want to get good 2 player games. The games from the Oniverse are good for this, abstract games such as The Duke, The Hive (which I love), and Onitama are also recommended.

    • @DarknesShade

      Look for a local board game store. Some have open areas for strangers to meet each other and play games and make friends. If not, there are also board game lounges that people in the store might know about. Check Reddit, check ask around at local shops, etc. Reach out and I'm sure you'll find ppl to play witg

    My personal gateway game was Marvel Legendary. My friend and I were into Marvel and he just messages me one day saying "Hey, you ever heard of this game before? Looks pretty cool." From then on it's been an almost nonstop ride of "Oh hey, this game looks cool. Oh, the theme on this one is awesome! OH MY GOD BUT THE MECHANICS ON THIS!"
    Right now my personal favorite games are probably:
    1. Battlecon (It's pretty much as close as you can get to a fighting video game in board/card game form with emphasis on spacing, prediction, etc. with a HUGE roster).
    2. Betrayal at House on the Hill (for all the same reasons that ProZD listed in the vid).
    3. Level 7 Omega Protocol (Human players vs. Alien player in an XCOM style exploration/combat setup with a cool mechanic where the more actions the humans take on a turn, the more resources the Alien player has to work with on theirs).

    The other nice thing with Betrayal at House Hill is that the traitor always gets a bit boosted by the rulebook (which is fair theyre playing against everyone else) but the whole game up to that point youre half working on a team and half working selfishly on the offchance that the person you help get some powerful item becomes the traitor or you become the traitor. It leads to a real fun kinda shakey co-op phase that turns into a kind of boss battle. Its real fun the further into the game you get before the traitor because you build the map as you go and there are secret passages and shortcuts so the end phase turns into the team trying to group up and work together and the betrayor trying to cut everyone off and pick off isolated players. Cant reccomend it highly enough

    Forbidden Desert's mechanics are far superior imo, but it truly is a greater challenge. The way you find the treasures is really interesting and fun, and it'd be cool if you talked about it in the future. I really want to try dead of winter, my extent of the horror genre is Arkham Horror and Betrayal at House on the Hill. It was cool to see this video from you, would be excited to see more like this in the future.
