Gentlemen, your sacrifices are greatly appreciated and will not be forgotten.

@koalabrownie 18 дней назад

I love that you have two people discussing and take a little more time with each game. This is infinitely better than the old videos where Tom or another solo reviewer will list all the games they don't like. Discussion is king for me.

@funnymanfish 22 дня назад

Just looked into it and War Machine is part of the Manhattan Project line, they acquired the rights to the franchise after fulfilling the Energy Empire: Cold War kickstarter and all future games in the series will be coming out from Grail Games. Hopefully future installments are more on the mark.

That War Machine cover is awesome

Agreed, so clean

@carolineheinz3573 21 день назад

Thank you for doing this again. I like this format.👍

@codym6376 22 дня назад

I almost backed War Machine because I wanted a game with a follow mechanism. I decided it looked clunky. I bought San Juan and Space Base instead without having to wait for production. Sounds like I made a good call.

@gkhmpg 22 дня назад

going for the classics is always a better option than backing new stuff

@prufrock1977 22 дня назад

San Juan is one of my all-time top five favorites. Some games just work.

@jameskirk4692 21 день назад

Thanks for the video. Love you two guys in this format.

@mvenini 22 дня назад

I like this video but I wished you guys used a lot more B footage of the game. I find I have to keep looking up the games to see more pictures.

@EfrainRiveraJunior 22 дня назад

A nice, _good,_ two-player Pacman game would be a huge hit.

@HarryBuddhaPalm 22 дня назад

Damn, I thought they re-released the old Pac-Man board game from the 80's. That thing was great.

@elqord.1118 22 дня назад

@carriesigrist5978 22 дня назад

I enjoyed portal, I really like adding the extra pattern score cards.

@adamp3628 День назад

Disappointed about the Pac Man Quoridor! Thanks for reviewing it.

@makejelone 22 дня назад

Played War Machine as well. I fully agree with all said here. It's too quick and the lack of a coherent rulebook frustrated us during our play. That being said there is some fun planning and given that you are rolling dice Yahtzee style you are TRYING for something every turn. An OK game

@DocBhoy 22 дня назад

Agreed about War Machine - disappointing, and the board mix up issue means no one appeared to be looking at the proof reading

@madelainemartinis7065 22 дня назад

Love the thumbnail!

@mattschwenk7000 22 дня назад

I Kickstartered Age of Inventors, played once and sold. A dud.

@SarahHadley162 22 дня назад

I like the solo mode of Portals...okay. It's not bad as a little puzzle game. However, I can think of others in a similar vein that are more rewarding.

@samanrahemi2199 14 дней назад

But Tom gave Portals a 7/10 in his latest speed review!

@thedicetower 14 дней назад

That is true but I changed my rating on subsequent plays. That happens sometimes!

@seandevine3695 21 день назад

Thanks for putting out more of the shorter format videos recently. I love hearing your thoughts on games, but the long videos are just a bit too much sometimes.

@SmoothGummi 22 дня назад

I went back and forth on Age of Inventors while on Kickstarter because of its looks. Glad I didn’t get it.

@olanmills64 22 дня назад

Hmm I didn't think Portals was bad, especially as a two player game. Though it doesn't really stand out in the sea of games available

@darinherrick9224 22 дня назад

It’s a bland as white bread with nothing on it.

@klawless 22 дня назад

Bummer... I pre-ordered Quoridor Pac-Man...

@IronSalamander8 22 дня назад

I was looking at Quoridor Pac-man since I love those classic arcade games from the 80s, but it sounds dull as dishwater, so going to give it a pass I think.

@flavflav7792 21 день назад

Quoridor is great and play with the new skin is cool

@ramonosuke 22 дня назад

A terrible rulebook is pretty much every Kickstarter game, which is 85% of every flippin board game now! Man i miss the old days. Games now are just churned out with little to no play testing, and sell because of minis or FOMO. Hence why ill just continue to scour the second hand market, once hype on a game dies down.

@andrewburnett6215 22 дня назад

I don’t agree with this at all. There are still plenty of games coming out with bad rulebooks but overall they are much improved from 15-20years ago. Tons of old games have huge blocks of text, unclear writing, few or no examples, terrible translation and very few images. You’ve got to be looking back with some pretty rose-tinted glasses to think that this used to be an area of excellence.

@spike2439 22 дня назад

What a shame about War Machine. I love the art and graphic design.

@lukerazor1 22 дня назад

I quite like War Machine and props to Grail Games for the way they fulfilled the EE:Cold War expansion, and the transparency during the WM kickstarter printing errors. They did the right thing when so many other companies would not.

@Fissi0nChips 21 день назад

Age of Inventors...with Einstein prominently on the cover...was not an inventor.

@darbyl3872 14 дней назад

He invented a blouse 😅 and co-patented several tech things.

@Crs9072 20 дней назад

Tom should really reconsider his rating scale. Portal getting 6, while both of them slam on it hard. The game sounds utterly dreadful, and he gives it a 6...
