Dead Reckoning is launching July 7th FYI... Unless it gets delayed for some reason. I know I can't wait, this game looks amazing... A euroized, deck builder, 4-X game with card crafting... Yes please!!
Hey Jon! With the PM closing soon would love to hear some more final thoughts on the game. Anything comparable or does this feel unique enough? I LOVE the setting which is why I’m thinking about picking it up
Honestly, I never actually got to play a real full game of this one. I'd like to though, I was intrigued by what I saw but that's all I can really say.
I noticed that each ship board has the name "Dauntless" - have you heard word whether they will have different names, following this prototype version?
Ha, I was wondering if anyone would notice that. AEG needed this prototype to make the rounds and because of that I had to have this video fully filmed by mid-May. I ended up fully finishing this video and uploading it to youtube before I finished the backdrop so this is just a blast from the near past :)
Would love to see this game come out in retail? Any word on that? Plus if I did have to make one change to this game, it would be the combat. I would love to see a Dune like combat or even some chance die! Maybe you earn dice with different sides for the upgrades on your cards…
I might not have specifically called it out. The wheel is effectively a variable power that activates with specific cards. Some will give you cargo based on how many wheels you have played that turn, others give bonuses like extra enhancements. So wheels by themselves do nothing, you want to pair them with other cards that activate wheels in order to get benefits.
@@JohnLudlow If I remember correctly he was working on Edge of Darkness or Dead Reckoning and AEG asked him to take the card crafting and make a simpler game to introduce the idea to audiences so it wouldn't be too much for a more complicated game in the future.
@@JonGetsGames You are awesome! Wasn't expecting an answer 1 year after you publishing this video but decided to give it a go and...AWESOME! 😀 Thank you! They do seem different from the ones from the KS campaign...that was why I was wondering if they were a proxy from another game. Cheers!
I had a prototype version so I have no idea what the box storage situation will be in the final version. It did take me a while to break it all down but it was just me and if there were other people around the table I imagine it'd only take 5 minutes or so.
I honestly don't know why they aren't available for all my videos. They are supposed to all get auto-generated english subtitles but for some reason RU-vid only puts those up on some of my videos. Perhaps this one is in a queue to have that done? Sorry about that.
When I first heard the rule I had the same thought but after watching the whole playthrough I found it to be the correct move. It gives you something to think about in between turns and you can only do it to one card per turn. And by the end getting 3 or 4 cards up to level 4 took awhile. You have to work hard to gain enhancements, ship upgrades, build buildings so it's nice to have a little instant gratification.
