Extra time is our "no rules" review format that goes deeper into why i like, or do not like a game we have covered in the 3 minute format. This one is for everyone wondering why i gave Underwater cities the gold medal.
In general, I'm loving these "extra time" videos. Great format for more detail. Your perspective is appreciated!
Cheers. It's great to stretch the legs a little. I love our core format, and its not going anywhere. But it has its limits.
"I like long games, I like games with lots of decisions, and I'm a sucker for a Sci-fi theme. And UC does all that. Just like Gaia Project, and just like TM."
Good sir, I think we have similar game tastes haha. I have all three games, and the expansions for each!
I'd also put in a plug for Crisis then if you dont have that :)
UC is my favourite game. You capture why I like this game so much here. Doing the best with what you got. That part reminds me of another favourite Castles of Burgundy.
I love that I have had almost no rule questions playing this game. Everything is on the cards.
Yeah, quite like COB, especially in terms of tight decisions each turn. And yeah, the rules are very straight forward
You still remain my favorite board game channel on RUclips. I feel your recommendations have always paid off the best for me when I get the games. I got Brass Birmingham and this one looks awesome! Love Gaia Project too.
The tightness from the limited actions is what sets it apart from similar games like TM in my opinion. It’s a condensed fighting ring, and if you’re not maximizing the efficiency of your actions it will be hard to win.
Really enjoyed this Extra Time, a great addition to this channel and something I’m looking forward to seeing more of on these games that warrant it 👍
I almost wish I didn't watch this, I hadn't given this game much thought until you compared it to Gaia Project (and TM to a lesser extent). Now I want it
I'm glad I watched this Extra Time too. Will give this a try now, even when it looked overwhelming in the review.
Thanks for sharing. My copy arrives tomorrow. Even more excited now.
What you described so well, about not figuring the game out yet. I’m that way with Rurik and that’s why I enjoy Rurik. For me, Once the challenge is gone the fun is also gone.
Love the format... and the camera angles 😊
Fun fact. Its all recorded at the same time. I just keep the camera rolling and move it about :)
I'm so glad I found this channel
My friends and I have just started playing Underwater Cities and couldn't agree with you more about how satisfying it is! So many wonderful/painful decisions! And I'm really interested in playing Gaia Project after having just played Terra Mystica for the first time...
All 3 are great games
This, Ares Expedition, and it’s a wonderful world are currently in my top three games period, especially as a solo player and lover of sci fi engine builders
I'm glad to hear what you like so much about it! I love Underwater Cities and I'm not a fan at all of Terraforming Mars, so I'm intrigued by the similarities between them.
They are weirdly similar, yet totally different. It's one of those wacky things that the scratch a similar itch, but in a very very different way.
Well said. I love this game. Easy in my top3.
I'm right there with you on UC (as well as TM and GP). It's well worth checking out Vladimír Suchý's previous game Pulsar 2849 which is a very good meaty dice drafting game which flew under the radar a bit.
I've seen that around, sci-fi them im a sucker for, but i just haven't gotten to it. Probably because it was under the radar a bit
There is an expansion due out soon.
This was the video I needed to push me to buy UC! Thanks!!
Same here.
Underwater Cities has been in my Top 5 since it came out. Clean design and crunchy decision-making. I agree 100% with what you said about the luck factor: it's about doing the best you can with what you're given - that's what sets the good players apart.
P.s. Underwater trumps Terraforming Mars for me.
Really appreciate the extra insight...sounds like I need to make this the next one to the table! Did you like Pulsar 2849? That is one that we really enjoy too. Cheers!
Have not played it yet. That and Sol are two space games i keep seeing but never get too
I wish the buildings were magnetized lol
DO you play a lot during earthquakes or in space, lol
@@3MBG no, but I'm a klutz and always knock things over when boardgaming :)
On mars from Vital Lacerda, what do you think?
Not played it yet. Have no relationship with the publisher and haven't been backing pricey games personally for a while.
On Mars is an excellent games, but it's very complex. There is a slight symbiotic relationship between players, who need to work together to develop the base but also need to do their own thing to win the game.
hi, if I had terraforming, and its quite nice, would UC still scratch that same itch? (also have Brass B, for the route building/economic)
In a slightly different way, but yes
@@3MBG sorri i didn't wait to finish ur video before commenting. U address it directly. Theres one copy of uc available here and im thinking out loud whether i should bite!
I pictured you looking like the guy in your cartoon!!
Ha, no. That's Carl von Clausewitz. The father of western modern military strategy. before 3 minute board games, i had a wargaming blog and he was our mascot there.
@@3MBG Ah, thanks! So ironically I saw that same Clausewitz portrait on another site and then knew it wasn’t unique to you. Glad we get to see you!
Oooooh, interesting! I'm glad you did this one. I watched your other two and was about to buy. But, now I have a question... would you say UC is as "tight" (aka. excruciatingly painful) as Through The Ages? I absolutely hate TTA because every turn is agony. I love the "freedom" and ability to actually accomplish something that TM provides.
Different type of tight to TTA as you can always do something. In TTA, sometimes the only thing you can do is disband something and go backwards.
Your face!
My face has been in like a dozen vids these last 6 months man :)
You say bad dice rolls can be over come and in economic games that is true. But, wargames unfortunately dice rolls are everything and I have the kind of luck that I'm better off just painting the miniatures.
Disagree. I went from bottom tier wargamer to winning competitions, it wasn't my dice luck that changed, it was practice
