Evenfall - Board Game Review - UNLIMITED POWER!!
It's Evenfall, and the Clans of Magic are preparing for a new era. Evenfall is the time when the boundaries of reality collapse and the supernatural awakens. The World-Tree opens its glowing gateways to unknown distant regions. Send Witches from your clan to discover and control new Places of Power. Use them for arcane rituals and battle for the favor of the Powerstones. But there is only one seat on the Enchanted Throne! Do you have the skills to lead the world into a new era?
Evenfall is a card-driven, engine-building game with both novel and familiar mechanisms for 1 to 4 players. Manage your resources, execute your actions in an efficient order, and discover card and action synergies that generate victory points. The game ends after three rounds, then the player with the most points wins.

Dune Uprising is out, It will be fun to get a very honest review from that game no matter the consequences.

@TheBrokenMeeple 8 месяцев назад

Ha ha if I can get a copy, will do, but UK Release is likely to not be for a while.

@powertothemeeple1410 8 месяцев назад

i love your reviews; you give honest feedback and i trust what you say; keep up this excellent work

@TheBrokenMeeple 8 месяцев назад

I appreciate that!

@xXvielzuvollXx 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for the comparison to Imperial Settlers! This is really putting it into context for me!

@simonpageot3084 7 месяцев назад

Great review! Should be receiving tomorrow! You made me want to get Elysium on the table, i’ve kept it because i really like Elysium but i have not played it in years!

@TheBrokenMeeple 7 месяцев назад

Good choice!

@shanefrancis34 8 месяцев назад

🤯mind blown, didn’t think you would have rated this as high..picked this up as an impulse purchase at Essen, still not got it to the table yet.

@shineLouisShine 8 месяцев назад

That was a good review. Nevertheless, I wonder how come that the word "luck" has been mentioned only in the context of a solo playing..?

@Feldingor 8 месяцев назад

Wow! We almost agree 100% on this one. Should I get worried? 😂 Nice one Luke

@TheBrokenMeeple 8 месяцев назад

@PimpMyFlop 8 месяцев назад

I played it twice solo and I agree with you opinion. Pretty solid solo engine builder with nice art, but nothing mindblowing here.

@nicolaithorning 8 месяцев назад

I might have to give this another look given your rating on 2 players.

@moo2k4 8 месяцев назад

Sounds a lot like 51st State, which makes sense since you compared it to Imperial Settlers. Definitely something I'd be interested in at some point down the line, especially knowing that the AI isn't BYOS since it's something I'd likely play mostly solo.

@tvvista9715 6 месяцев назад

Thats what i thought and then i thought its pretty damn hard to beat 51st state though, do i need this?

@AngelofBOOM 8 месяцев назад

This one also slipped passed me too. But I like the look of it...

@andrethannhauser6302 8 месяцев назад

What's the length of a game when playing 1,2,3,4 players? 51st State is in my Top10 of all time and I also like Elysium. Evenfalls sounds great while it might be a bit long for what it is?!

@TheBrokenMeeple 8 месяцев назад

60-120 min

@TheSludgeMan 8 месяцев назад

I agree about Revive. It's my favourite game of 2022 but I was disappointed that they repeated the same 3 art assets on the entire deck of cards and that really let's down the theme.

@tobymeaney7545 8 месяцев назад

Without 3 or 4 players, certain card actions are redundant, due to a lack of card pool in which to use their abilities. Those cards which allow you to utilise other players specialists, or resource creation. This is pointless if you have one opponent who has a strategy where their card pool might be useless, so the only option is to then burn cards for resources. At 3/4 there is more chance that there will be a range of specialists to choose from and other abilities to replicate. Yes the round end "battle" is less battle more predictable, but those insignia are not insignificant for final point scoring and shouldn't be overlooked, and for that a difference of 1 mana spent makes an impact on the game. The AP in this game i find less of an issue, I would suggest the more significant issue is this has an Everdell problem, in which that once you pass, other players continue, and could take another 20 actions purely because their cards and resources worked better in the round. If you have poor cards, or minimal resource production, 3 rounds doesn't give much opportunity to adjust and rebuild the engine and tableu.

@egd277 8 месяцев назад

Elysium is still one of the best card games around and the amount of content in the box is outstanding! In my top 20.

@TheBrokenMeeple 8 месяцев назад

Must get it out again!

@ralfn9629 8 месяцев назад

Nice review. Another phantasy themed game with witches, spirits and rituals - I am the absolute opposite from excited about these games! (At lease SI has a great theme attached to it!) The art does look beautiful, but the cards look more like Tarot or Oracle cards. This is not for me.

@TheBrokenMeeple 8 месяцев назад

Fair enough!

@elqord.1118 8 месяцев назад

This one left me cold. Sold it quickly after Essen. Something about it felt more like work than actual enjoyment

@garmit420 8 месяцев назад

Essen in general left me cold ❄️🥶

@elqord.1118 8 месяцев назад

@@garmit420 really? I had a great time but I only went for 4-5 hours a day and instead used the remaining time to play the games I bought. Since we went with a group we were able to split up and buy the hottest games. Playing them in the evenings made for an amazing time and I'd always do it again.

@kosterix123 4 месяца назад

How is it solo?

@TheBrokenMeeple 4 месяца назад

Decent, you get to do all the same stuff like in multiplayer but it's an easy ai to use. I thought i mentioned it in review.

@kosterix123 4 месяца назад

@@TheBrokenMeeple in summary, here and there but not a separate topic. Anyway, the impression i got from the review is that the ai feels tacked on, and as a multi player board game it's a bid... void.

@jhowd78 8 месяцев назад

I tried soooooo hard to like this game. Its just a snooze. Its a tough market for tableau builders cause they reward you a ton as you build an engine. Thats hard not to like. The solo is easy upkeep....but its kind of blah. Do I wish all games had that easy upkeep, sure, but it didnt save the whole experience. Especially because its "luck of the draw" Man I tried to love this one. I had high hopes. Im glad you reviewed this. I respect your opinion

@TheBrokenMeeple 8 месяцев назад

Saw your FB post I think on the solo mode so I figured it wasn't working for you. 😁

@jhowd78 8 месяцев назад

@TheBrokenMeeple I'll give it a couple more plays but tall hill to climb from a 6 right now after two solo plays. Every game needs its fair shot so I'll see how it play out with my group.

@664662 Месяц назад

"...is essentially an engine builder card game /..the theme doesn't make any difference here" - Basically my Nemesis boardgame :D I'll pass. thank you

@shatnershairpiece 8 месяцев назад

Yeah, the title was a bad choice. Sounds like a half a dozen other games. I guess you can be happy it doesn’t come with a useless 3-D tree. It seems like most of Essen this year is multiplayer solitaire. Even evacuation is getting this reputation. It’s disappointing. I think I already crossed five Games off my list just for this reason. And the one game I was interested in, hegemony, is not suitable for two players at all, and needs four players. I can’t win.

@TheBrokenMeeple 8 месяцев назад

Evacuation is also multiplayer solitaire?.........ugh. Haven't got to that one yet.
