As someone else here has said already , the word "overwrought" is not a verb but an adjective, therefore there is no "past tense" for it. You cannot, for example, "overwrought" something, but you can say a certain game was overwrought, is overwrought or will be overwrought, but the verb in these sentences is the being verb "is" (conjugated above as "is, was, will be"). Sorry for being the grammar police, I love you guys! 💚
I know I'm late to this comments section, but as a fellow Richards (no known relation) who likes vocabulary and grammar, wrought is the past tense and past participle of the word "work" so overwrought means something that's had too much work or energy put into it. It can be used as a verb, as in the sentence: "They wrought the iron for too long." Therefore, overwrought could potentially be used as a verb, as in the sentence: "They overwrought the iron." That usage isn't in modern English, but it would logically work. Technically, the modern version of that sentence would probably be hyphenated as "over-wrought" but quibbling over whether an existing compound word should be hyphenated to its component parts in order to mean the same thing as it would without, solely to satisfy the modern dictionary classification of its commonly accepted part of speech, seems like it would be a waste of time to even the most pedantic of linguists. P.S. Yes, the previous sentence was intentionally overwrought, just for funsies. ;D
My family has been thoroughly enjoying Paladins of the West Kingdom. I do think there is more player interaction than first meets the eye. You need to be aware of the townspeople abilities, the favor actions, the outsiders, and the main board. In the mid- to late-game, those resources can become very competitive. My favorite aspect of the game is that, on your turn, you always pay something and you always get something. It never feels like you're getting a raw deal, you just might have optimized better. Makes me excited to play again!
I have had some games that felt like that. Gloomhaven is one. I had to sell kitchen rush because my wife found it too hard. I told her "but we never lost!", but it was maybe to stressfull for her.
Dread Fanny? I'm from the UK and I'm in stitches... I know it means something different in the USA... But I doubt you'll use that word if you knew the British use of it 🤣
Many many of this games were already released at GenCon...Some you can even get at regular retail in the US... I understand not all are available in Europe but...
So I think it's impossible for Sam to discuss a game with artwork by Vincent Dutrait to not mention that the artwork is by Vincent Dutrait. Similar to games designed by Eric Lang....
I like how someone came up with some dodgy explanation. Nah. It's a French publisher. And Pharaon is the French word for Pharaoh. My guess why they didn't make it different? Savings. Why print many box lids when you can just make one type
"it's difficult to win, but it doesn't feel like it's difficult to win" ...but you've never lost, so doesn't that mean the exact opposite of what you said? It FEELS difficult, but isn't actually?
That expansion is for Clank, not for the Legacy version, it includes the Legacy characters for the base game. It is a confusing marketing decision for sure.
@@johchadow Yeah, game play wise they're better fit for the base game but the box sure says Legacy on it and there's another character pack coming as well.
@@F4R207 Maybe we're talking about different things, but there are 2 expansions, C Team Pack, and Upper Management Pack, that are both usable with the base game or with the Legacy game.
I had to check BGG, Tom had stated in a previous video that they were for the base game, and he made it sound like they were not for the Legacy version, but they are for both/either.
make want to check out some other reviews. I saw lots of people saying it's impossible to see inside and its all glossy and reflective so flashlights don't work either. Neat idea but seems they failed on production end.
Checked the etymology of "wrought": it's an archaic metathetic variant (a sound has moved around a bit for reasons) of worked. It's literally cognate with "overworked", except archaic and with its own slightly divergent meanings, so now you know ==* Same thing with "wright", it has the same sound change except with "wyrhta", MEnglish for 'worker'. The -gh- and -h- you see there are related to the -k- sound, I assume the /t/ in wyrhta is some sound change like /rk/ > /rht/ at some point. No you know even more! =====*
Clank! In Space is so much better than regular Clank! Is Clank! Legacy more along the lines of Clank! In Space as far as how much better than Clank! it is?
Actually Tom, there is a connection between Barrage and that alchemist game, that even I cannot pronounce or even write....krhhm..... Yes, they don't have the same designer, but designers of both of these games share a past with some other games that they have co-designed, namely Tzolk'in The Mayan Calender, Voyages of Marco Polo etc. So perhaps that was something that was on your mind.
