The Diamond Swap reminds me of One Night Ultimate Werewolf Some people try to negate the noise factor of One Night by having everyone tap on the table with one hand. Wonder how well that would work with Diamond Swap
Really enjoyed the mini playthrough for the Diamond Swap overview! I get how it wouldn't really work for larger games, but for smaller games I think I prefer it to the more formal overview. Thanks for the review(s)! 😊
A friend of mine told me he also thinks the special powers in Cafe Overload may have been balanced for the Japanese language, and may be more useful by instead using “first/last syllable” rather than letter.
That's what I'm thinking too, since the last character in katakana would typically be a syllable, i.e., consonant plus ending vowel. (And I'm actually tempted to buy this game just to get back into practice reading Japanese!)
We may be approaching the End of Gaming. I envision the End of Gaming going something like this: A company does an expansion which consists only of a single coin that you flip. It's a Kickstarter, and most gamers pay extra for the Deluxe Edition, where the coin is metal instead of cardboard.
The oink website has it for 9 bucks plus 23 dollar shipping from Japan. I'm tempted to buy like five (shipping is the same) and then sell em for like 15 to make my money back for the steep shipping cost. It would allow more people in the US enjoy it for a cheaper price. Not sure if people would pay 15 for the die and tray though.
I had more fun playing Order Overload than I would have expected. We played with six players, and that was hard! Also, some of the order cards are weird, which began comes hilarious when everyone is trying to concentrate on memorizing the orders. So I highly recommend not looking at the cards ahead of time!
I love this combo : Mike & Chris
Came here to say the same thing! :-)
A top 10 small player count party game list would be great!

Where to get the dice? I only see 2 on ebay but they are like $40
What the haha Seriously that is the single most annoying aspect of this hobby, people holding games/promos etc hostage for insane prices. Ridiculous.
Oink sells them on their website! They only sell them with the tray, but they have shipping from the US if I remember correctly

I’m a big fan of Oink Games but their recent works are very experimental compared to their early ones.

3:58 you can't touch the diamonds!!! haha
Can the dice tray replace the box of Deep Sea Adventure? Like, does the box lid fit nicely on the tray?
Oinks website says it takes up half of the original box height
I feel like it would be hard to fit all of the treasure and X chips into box with that dice tray
That intro lol 🤣
Silver series is definitely a better memory type game
I thought the letter-based powers in Order Overload were fine
You guys are hilarious!
Mike is just so...Mike...
Also, a surprise Killmilla shows up unannounced. Rejoice!
Make no mistake
