Let me say congratulations! You convinced me to buy the game because of your review about how good the solo is and I’m glad I did it! You are 100% right of what you have said! I will definitely watching every videos of yours before buying any game! Keep up the good work!
Mike: "it's a fantastic solo game"
Me : "here we go again..."
I love your reviews Mike, high quality review. I have architects and Viscounts, Raiders Of Scythia will be a great addition to my collection. Pity we don't see you more often on Dice Tower! Take care
Thanks Mike. I’ve just ordered this game on a hunch and you have confirmed my suspicion that it is indeed a great solo game.
Your delivery is excellent. Well done! I will certainly look you up when I want another game.
As soon as it releases in europe I get the deluxe version with the metal gorgon coins.
If the straight-forward scheme deck is your #1 solo mechanism, you should try Energy Empire with the PnP solo AI deck.
I never played Raiders before but really liked the theme. ie. Blood Rage is my favorite game. I love what I have seen of the old art but think I like the art in Scythia even more. Great review. I ended up picking up this game and looking to get it to the table.
Thanks for the review, I am very likely to get this once it comes out here, looking forward to it even more after this.
Spectacular review.
Any reason you prefer Raiders of the North Sea over this? It seems that this has most of the expansions included in the base game (horses=armor, wound tokens from FoF, quests from HoH), plus includes variable player powers and animals. I much prefer the art in the North Sea game, but would like to know what makes RoTNS better?
I have this game with a nice wood insert, all sleeved, with the metal coins. I absolutely love this game!
Much better than Raiders of the North Sea IMO.
amazing game,thanks
Thanks Mike. This was off my radar until you showed me the solo mode. Haha!
The theme is so cool... art style is so epic and gritty!! The solo is on point!! And I can get all the expansion mechanics from north sea in one base box!! Mine!! Gimme gimme!!
Hi Mike, what in raiders of the north with expansions do you mis in scythia that 🐴 and 🦅 can’t go up against you still prefer ROTN?
Mike, have you tried Barbarians: The Invasion 2nd Edition? I think you might like the solo play of that one,
has this one been released yet?
Is it possible to add AI to 2 palyers game? Would it work?
I’m sorry. I am still really confused. How do you trade up from a blue worker to a gray or red?
By attacking down the board where there are first grey workers to snaffle, then red. Crew Up and get raiding
That music is much better for Mike! I was a little freaked out by the carnival tone being used before.
James Hamilton I always thought of an Eastern Bloc communist country. 😅
I really liked the "Worker Exchange" mechanic of the North sea game. So I would lie this one. The set up is a bit fussy but not too bad once I had performed it. You are so right about the expansions for North Sea - which I have - so, as big a fan I am of Shem Phillips, I will have to pass. Thanks for the review.
Very nice video and very nice game, pity I really don't like the artwork. I wish Mico had done the art on this as well.
Same!
That's what i love about this community - everyone has a differing opinion but it's all good because we can all enjoy games anyways! I highly prefer this art, haha! :D
Love raiders. For me this is going to be a pass. It's too similar even with a few changes and, sorry to say, I'm not too keen on the art. I'll just wait on Viscounts coming soon and whatever Shem and Sam develop in the "Kingdom" series. Appreciate Shem trying a different theme. I was interested at first and thought I would warm up to the art but just can't.
Beauty is definitely in the eye of the beholder. I vastly prefer this art to anything the Mico has done. And that's not to say I don't like his work, I actually do.
I don't think you can use the word "unique" in reference to a mechanic used in other games. That kind of defeats the meaning of the word.
I think you can have a unique approach to a common mechanic. That was what I was referring to.
Hmm too much like raiders of North sea. I give it a pass...
I love Raiders of the North Sea, so this is way too similar and the changes made are worse in my opinion. But the real reason this is a pass for me, is the ugly artwork and the theme. OMG is that board ugly. the big advantage of the North Sea Saga and the West Kingdom Saga always was the consistent artwork and iconography. but this too much of a break of it.
This game will split the fans of the other trilogies.
