Just waiting for the brothers murph to pop in with a "Praise Be!" 😊

GIZMOS NEEDS AN EXPANSION!!!! Well, not 'needs' but more I WANTS IT!!!! I love you guys just talking about a pile a games. I'm glad I wasn't the only one that didn't like Imhotep. I first played it at Origins that year and immediately bought it because I liked it at first play, but then I was 'nah...too mean'. I would gladly play it with someone who wanted to though. MORE YI BIG PILES OF GAMES PLEASE!!!

@nickmarkley2017 Год назад

Chris "We own more games than children ok?!"...Wendy "Uh huh"...love these guys, some day I hope to play a game them, PWH or not

@JohnClem56 Год назад

First thought when Chris said that was "Hmm, nice try...". My second thought was "how many children do they own...?"

@carla8478 11 месяцев назад

Yep, he had me rolling with that one. I was like, well....he's not wrong. 😂

@jasonsmith1133 Год назад

Huge Phil Walker Harding fan. Archaeology is one of my favorites.

@doggosplosion Год назад

Wendy was totally incog-yi-to. Didn't see that one coming. It was pure comic silver and gold, with a hidden movement.

@eVanDiesel Год назад

Why isn't The New Expedition edition of Archeology in the Dice Tower library??

@cubist12 Год назад

Imhotep was one of the first few games in my collection, and I still love it. Yes, it has potential to be a take-that fest, but if you live by that sword, you usually die by that sword. It's really about maximizing your own value and occasionally blocking your opponent. I also played it before I knew who PWH was. Silver & Gold is probably may favorite of his, since it's such an easy game to pick up and play. Summer Camp was also a nice, family-weight set collector.

@leebrown5006 Год назад

I've played Sushi Go, Barenpark and Imohtep. I liked them all, but Imhotep was my favourite my a huge margin. The spacial elements are clever but can be a little tricky to predict. But the rules are simple, and the interaction is great. Knizia-esq.

@edmundschubert4963 Год назад

My wife and I play Imhotep as a two player game regularly and really enjoy it. You just have to take it as part of your strategy that someone else might park the boat somewhere you might not prefer. Frustrating sometimes, but I wouldn't call it mean. Glad you did a PWH list.

@josepablolunasanchez1283 Год назад

Buy the expansion. It has elements to destroy the frustration. It has promises to the gods. It prevents players from being mean towards each other.

@nickhershberger8411 Год назад

Planted: A Game of Nature & Nurture has quickly become a beloved addition to my family's collection of games. Its quick playtime and straightforward rules make it accessible to players of all ages. The theme of nature and nurture resonates with us, adding a delightful and meaningful touch to our gaming experiences. We genuinely enjoy every moment spent playing this wonderful game.

@joshjenson8111 Год назад

Imhotep is underrated

@nickhershberger8411 Год назад

I agree! It is a great game. I think it suffers from being a little mean, and not a tone of decisions to make.

@leobetosouza Год назад

I think it is overHATEd.

@dannyanderson4723 Год назад

Imhotep is a great game, family favorite, and one that people at work have demanded after playing it together. I've bought 5 copies of it... one for me, four for others.

@DamianFragoso Год назад

Imhotep gets way too much hate! Probably is PWH best design. So timeless. It suffers from needing repeated plays to understand what it’s trying to do. Your first couple of plays you can’t make sense of the chaos. Once you embrace the darkness, and accept the capriciousness of fate, the game reveals itself to you. People say it’s “take that” but it really isn’t. Your plan not coming together is usually because you were super obviously going for one high scoring play, with no contingency plan, and of course someone sails your boat elsewhere instead. That’s not take that, that’s we aren’t going to play kingmaker and let you get away with that cheese. This is a game of plan b’s, c’s, and d’s.

@jimgrant9081 Год назад

You had me at Part One! I hope you revisit Imhotep with 3-4 players. It is definitely interactive and a game of chicken as Wendy stated, but there is a lot there including hedging where you place your stones so they can work out decently for you regardless of where the barge lands. I'm a PWH fan myself and loving the topic of this video.

@RonnieLunn84 Год назад

My favourite designer. I love the tile laying games that you featured here, but Llamaland is definitely my favourite, it’s like if Barenpark and Gingerbread House had a baby. Still love the other two and regularly play them, but Llamaland is the best with gamers I find. Looking forward to it in the next segment.

@jasonlight1316 Год назад

I love Cacao and Gizmos so much I also love Sushi Go Party but I only get to play that on BGA lately.

@LibrarianChef Год назад

You could always sleeve Sushi Go Party and the promos so that they match.

@Kasotic Год назад

Any card that isn’t standard size (which Sushi Go is not standard) only has clear sleeves. You would really want opaque ones to hide it.

@adamholt5395 11 месяцев назад

My first PWH game was Sushi Go Party. My wife and I loved it. Then I bought Gizmos because it looked like a neat game. I didn't realize who designed it until after I played it several times. Then I bought Silver and Gold. Now I'm a fan boy. I enjoy his simplicity in his designs. He makes fun games that are simple to understand and play.

@josepablolunasanchez1283 Год назад

Imhotep builder of Egypt is good with the expansion. With base game only, a player can memorize strategies and be mean with other players. With the expansion the promise to the gods makes players to think in something else that is not being mean. Players can still be mean, but the promise could give extra points that being mean cannot. And the expansion adds many sites so the strategy is impossible to memorize. I like this game and I have it among the best games ever. Revisit with the expansion.

Silver & Gold is a Christmas song...I think the Smash Mouth song says "All that glitters is gold" :)

Have it, have it, have it, have it, want it, have it, OOOH WHAT'S THAT?

We played our original copy of Sushi Go Party so much and in the end felt it was time to get a new copy. And now all the cards match including the promo cards!

@saved2trek Год назад

LOVE love Phil Walker Harding games. A couple months ago I did a video on 22 of his games.

@karenasawa433 Год назад

Can’t wait for the next instalment. Sushi Go Party is great.

@angelal5485 10 месяцев назад

I have a copy of Archaeology: The Card Game from Z-Man Games. It has a cover close to the one you have from Adventureland Games. I like it, but my wife didn't for some reason even though she loves other similar set collection card games. I forgot I had it. Maybe our kids will like it. It does have the pyramid chambers and map cards.

@danpsou Год назад

"We own more games than children!" That excuse wouldn't work with Tom.

@retroarcadefan 11 месяцев назад

Great quick overviews! The audio level on this appears to be often overdriven and distorts a bit, just FYI.

@n8rluva Год назад

You both have great voices. Also can’t wait to try gizmos!🎉

@ramostott190 Год назад

My Sushi Go promos are cut very differently depending on the promo set. I'm not worried about it from a strategy perspective, but as someone who doesn't usually sleeve cards, they are a beast to shuffle.

@ChrisMartin-mz9bt Год назад

I've never even heard of Gizmos! Sounds right up my son and my alley.

@Haldurson Год назад

Of the games of these that I've played, my favorite by a mile is Gizmos. I love that game.

@DTWendy Год назад

It's definitely the best!

Wow I had no idea Imhotep and Gizmos was the same designer haha. We love gizmos, and for the jewish holiday of passover we played imhotep and thats about the only time I will choose to play it haha

@donteatpoop4689 Год назад

Oh good a list about my favorite designer. Oh they're about to talk about my favorite game ever, Imhotep. *anger intensifies* I'm about to Yiit this channel.

@joannahayes2009 11 месяцев назад

I brought you POH! I’m bummed you didn’t like it but now that I think about it, it’s definitely not a Yi-wheelhouse game! Still, I hope you enjoyed the art and a PWH rarity 🙊

@joannahayes2009 11 месяцев назад

AND, I’m looking forward to part two!

Thanks, we still appreciate it!!!

Harding’s Paradox: Can you ever play all PWH games before he designs another one?

Funny how imhotep is the only game from him I like

@josepablolunasanchez1283 Год назад

is there a way to combine the two Imhotep games?

@jonplaysmemoir4461 Год назад

If Gizmos didn't have that stupid marble tower it would be top 3 all time for me. I sold my copy but I'm waiting for a used copy to pop up so I can make my own with wooden painted tokens in a bag instead of the marbles.

@cursivecurses Год назад

did you have 1st or 2nd edition? the 2nd edition one is much better.

@jasonlight1316 Год назад

My marble ramp began to fray, so i reached out to Cmon to get it replaced and they sent me all of the cardboard for the game, so I practically have 2 complete games.

@cursivecurses Год назад

@@jasonlight1316 The 2nd edition base is hard plastic instead of cardboard

@jonplaysmemoir4461 Год назад

@@cursivecurses I think I had the 2nd. It was purple plastic. My problem with it is was the noise. Dropping the marbles in was an instant headache for me. I have really bad anxiety and auditory sensitivity issues. The game is amazing. The migraine making marble tower isn't lol. Edit: I even covered the surfaced with sticky felt and it was still too loud.

@jonplaysmemoir4461 Год назад

@@jasonlight1316 Would you be willing to send me a complete set of just the cards? I'll pay shipping and your time or whatever you think is fair.
