I have yet to find the people to play this with and have them enjoy it 😂. Gave up a while ago on it, but I’ll try to do it again following some of your tips. I also had the amazing idea of paying this the first time with people who have played less than 10 board games in their lifetime. I was also a beginner in the hobby so didn’t know how to hook people and be very efficient with rule explanations… it was one of the most disheartening experiences. People were confused to hell and if we did win a mission they thought it was very anticlimactic. They stopped playing after 3 missions 🫠
Yeah, it's definitely a tricky one to introduce to players new to the hobby. It also doesn't help that it's cooperative, too. Something that might help that "anticlimactic" feeling is in the theatrics of how you play your cards. Let's say it comes down to you to play that last card to win the round. If you look around at everyone and sloooooowly put the card down, really draw out that moment of "Oh man did we win this mission or not?", that drama can add a shocking amount to how good it feels to win a round. And, once you start leaning into the dramatic side of things, newer players are likely to parrot that type of acting and will start playing dramatically as well!
Holy cow, I'm amazed by that floating effect. 😮
Thank you! I worked really hard on it and it came together much better than I had hoped! 😁
14:20 that was a really nice bridge shuffle
The music is soo good! What are the songs?
@@CardboardBones I get all my music through Epidemic Sounds, so it was just a random assortment I found on there through searching "space" lol
