    I love this game! My group has only played it a couple of times with the expansion, but it's left us wanting to play it everytime we gather. The version of this game we played looked way better than the one in this video though.

    Every time I watch a game video on here I’m reminded of how cool TableTop was to watch.

      Every time I watch a game video on here I'm reminded there are people who lack any sort of adaptability and just can't get over TableTop.

      jaypob Yeah, that’s what it is. I just can’t adapt to the corporate-y feel, and long rules reading. My bad. It’s not like there’s 20 of those on here.
      Oh, and of course this is totally an upgrade to Wil Wheaton. Schmuck.

      yeah, 200CAD$ for the complete game. 100CAD$ for just the base. But since it's only on Kickstarter, you'd be crazy to only get the base, as the rest will be impossible to get afterwards.

    So it’s New York 1901 mixed with Suburbia?

  • @Hahahahaaahaahaa
    @Hahahahaaahaahaa 4 года назад +15

    So, the mechanics look solid enough for an abstract, with just enough luck through the lot card dealings to make it more family friendly. But talk about cost of miniatures. Like, 80% of the physical content is just the 3D building which could have easily been well-illustrated cardboard. Not that I don't like a pretty game, but when the plastic is just buildings...I have to wonder if it's really worth triple-digit pricing for a little bit of height...thats' the price of Gloomhaven right now.
    But worst of all, you don't even get a full game. The 5p "expansion," which currently requires a $60 KS upgrade to obtain, is basically an admission that's they couldn't secure appropriate pricing.

    • @licotto
      @licotto 2 года назад

      and yet I bought it and now have it on my table and DEFINITELY prefer having paid the price for minis instead of flat cardboard with much less visual appeal.

    • @ProjectIcarusFE
      @ProjectIcarusFE 2 года назад

      This is a $40 game with a $200 purchase price. There's not a lot of depth to the mechanics and seems to be largely relying on its visual and theme appeal to actually get backers.
      The ads and presentation of the game intrigued me but this game honestly does not seem like a gaming experience worth $200 unless you really got a thing for Roman engineering.
      Mini bloat is real.

  • @mrbastos
    @mrbastos 4 года назад +13

    Game doesn't interest me too much, but what really bugs me is that they obviously designed it for 5 players with a whole section of the game board devoted to being for 5-players, but then held those components back to sell as an add-on? That's like predatory DLC, not a fan of that decision.

    • @shanerion

      It ended ages ago. Felicia Day sold G&S many years ago to Legendary Entertainment. Table Top is one of the shows that did not come back after that transaction. However, Game the Game is still a good show for watching people play board games. Becca does a great job.
