I'm so very torn on Lacerda games; The Gallerist and Lisboa felt fresh, compelling, and worth the calories when I first encountered them. I've played everything up to Weather Machine, which I skipped--ditto Inventions. Escape Plan and On Mars should have been keepers due my fondness for their themes alone, but I unloaded them quickly. Lisboa is now the only Lacerda I still own. I cannot shake the feeling that his rulesets are increasingly comparable to fancy complications in a mechanical watch: fun, intricate, yet needless features that still don't help one tell time any better. I'm also torn on HexPlore It. I only have Domain of Mirza Noctis, which is the one theme in the series that really grabbed me. It's addition of Dungeons is clever and adds a tasty, optional, push your luck element of exploration. It's very math-y in an old school RPG way, which feels dry. It does unfold in some evocative, generative storytelling that's more "theatre of the mind" than what one gets from spoon-fed pages & pages of flavor text or choose-your-own adventure narratives--which I very much appreciate. I've only played DoMN solo, with two characters in the mix. I wouldn't personally enjoy pure solo with only one player character.

Yeeaaahh, I definitely think the 1st Volume of Hexplore It is the "worst". The following volumes add a lot more complexity and make the world feel waaaay more dynamic. Also the campaign books are very very good!

I want to see you and Barry stream Dominion!

I miss the fly 😂

Breaking Games signed Dwellings of Eldervale with Luke Laurie while Peter Vaughn was a developer there. Then, Peter left Breaking Games to start Cardboard Alchemy. He signed Andromeda’s edge with Luke. Dwellings of Eldervale seems significantly more heavy than the rest of Breaking Games selection. It’s probably a better fit for a company for Cardboard Alchemy, which is why I’m glad Andromeda’s Edge is with Peter and Cardboard Alchemy.

Do you happen to have an RSS link for the podcast? (I can't seem to find it on the Pocket Casts aggregator.) If not, no worries. Thanks!

If you want more info on Captain's Chair, I know a guy ;)

Such a well designed game. I could see some AP in the prep phase, but other than that, it seems golden, especially if you throw a boss in there that everyone is also dealing with.

Nice sum up of an excellent UKGE. Forest Shuffle + Alpine is excellent, my most played game on BGA this year.

i like the podcast format. Hopefully it worked well for you. Loved that Barry could join you. Feel better soon.

This disappeared from my "to watch" list somehow, so getting through the first episodes now. I'll second that Cthulhu Wars is absolutely worth playing if you can find someone running a game. A friend had the copy and we spent a whole evening backstabbing and having a blast.

Didn’t you have to start the Abyssal Empress in contact with the Darkness Shrine?

Will you guys do another play through of the game?

When do u use the red dice

We beat it today. One of the hard episodes. But it should be played with Goat.

Good play through. Thank you for the effort.

I'm so torn on Stupor Mundi. I liked my plays on BGA but somehow it's lacking a climax. It never felt like it was taking off and soaring. It's also a terribly low scoring game and resources are just always very tight. Once you build something you have to go on a journey to collect resources again. I was able to perform well both online as well as solo but maybe this is a game that would actually shine a lot more on the table. It is a bit harder to keep everything in view on BGA as I have to keep scrolling to check the king's board and player boards. Overall my feeling is a 7/10 at best right now. I couldn't even tell you what they should improve to make it a 8/10 and get me to back it.

integr-what?

You said, "Does the Moon Princess fund her war efforts through her 'Oni fans.'" ... Ah. Hah. Hah. Hah. Haaaah! I shared that one immediately. )

I picked up Fleet Captains and the Romulan expansion for $60 for both! (they were "used" - the base game had been played once, and the Romulan box had been opened but all the parts were still sealed). My son and I play one game (Federation vs Klingon), and the way the missions came out, we had war a mongering Federation against pacifist Klingons.

Did you ever pull out the insert?

Great pace and rapport!

Thanks for the video, helped a lot with the setup and manual.

Comprehensive and clear, very helpful before starting my first game 👍

why do you not travel to any of the towns and heal?

Thanks for mentioning Gest! I hope to see it featured on the channel... 😊

Great discussion!

The allies had subs, but there was only 1 case in WW2 that I know of where a British sub sank a Uboat.

Question: In turn 1, when Paul drew the Hagal card, and it says to go to the Imperial space then go up 1 influence then receive 2 army units why did you put them in the garrison? do they go into battle instead? can you please go over that move? thanks

8.0 at BGG is something i really dont' agree with. I would say that the basic version of this game was ok for what it is, a fairly "chaotic game" that can be fun when played a couple of times, but definitively not the kind of game you will try to play again and again for testing new strategies. So, 35 - 40 euros for the basic game yeah, why not.. 75 for some expansions almost none will care about and a couple useless wooden pieces ? no way...

War of the Ring and Dune War for Arakkis both use game limited troops for the Fellowship and Fremen. Both excellent games.

Four years later and still the most detailed and accurate tutorial out there. Thank you very much for making this video.

Love to see this project starting 🎉 can't wait to see/listen to the new episodes. And yeah why not streaming Dominion

This is the only good video on how to play. Well done sir. Well done!

u buet U Buet !!! lol as a German ,super Funny!!!!! keep it up mate

biggest problem here is thst they insisted on 5 endings like the last one but this game more complicated and different formula than the last one and when they realized it it was to late to fix it so they kinda tried to patch it together to make it more ,...like the end results is ugly but it works as a game kinda, they probably should have gone w 3 endings instead and this would have been less complicated and more enjoyable ...they wanted to do everything, they were to ambitious here and couldn't quite pull it off unfortunately...

1:43:48 it seem they experimented a lot w vinland and Lhasa, then perfecting the game through Oklahoma and caravanes then finally getting it right w the hollywood and versailles versions...i mean its not easy making a game like this, its very intricate so im not gonna hold it against them...

its very weird like they never bothered about implementimg the whole boat journey into this....snail eaters🙄🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

Thanks for this video, always appreciate your clear and concise teaches!

Nice video! I just picked up this game and played one 50gp game with my wife. We both really enjoyed it and will be playing it a lot more! I will probably also pick up the upgraded mousepad game mat as the cloth one tends to move around a but much. I hope to see more factions and cards released for this game as well as a new battlefield mat, the one out now is a bit boring and bland.

i just got this game used and thought i lost the back pack piece, after watching your vid its on the back of ink ribbon. i was searching for awhile for it under everything lol. ty!

Thank you for this. Love your channel mate!

Amazing explanation! You made me buy this game after the tutorial :))

Antitank guns should have gone into permanent casualties, you just don't have reserves to replace them.

Pretty sure there's no mic detection. Haha. That was entertaining though! 🤣

Whoa this is Kickstarter edition? I have reprint edition

1:02 - it's not actually that difficult to pick up and play meanwhile video's lenght - 1:06:45

I am curious if you found any issues with the rule books; I see that they have published some updated pdf versions on the website and there seems to be some FAQ on BGG as well,

I noticed in this episode and in episode 2 at 20:42 that you dealt 3 damage to a mage after moving the Kollossus into the Mage's room. Is that really correct? The Kollossus card reads: deal 3 damage to a mage the enters the room the Kollossus is in, which seems to be different from how you resolved it.

34:41 question, if you shoot and miss and they’re 2 or 3 squares away would you still take damage since the zombie isn’t in range to hit you?
