Really glad you are posting videos again. While most other channels review the latest hyped up games, it's refreshing to have a channel that covers less-known & underappreciated games.
That megaman shirt is fire. Respect. Also, great comparison review of the prior versions of this gameplay mechanic. I have to stick to easier board games with my game group to hit the table so I may purchase.
Really good review. It was my impression too. It's light, and I enjoyed Nova Luna more. Bought this one as I liked the idea of the pieces being in a bag, rather than having to arrange them around the wheel, but the fact that you were able to plan the moves in advance, made Nova Luna better game for me. Solo mode really felt bad on Framework. It's the same strategy you should go each time, big blocks of the same color.
I appreciated that you highlighted the differences between all the iterations. I've yet to play habitats. I found Nova Luna to be an exceptionally lean and clever design. As I found with Sagani, stripping down the design any further than Nova Luna lead to diminishing returns. I've become slightly annoyed that Uwe keeps releasing tweaked versions of the same system over and over, as I feel compelled to try them all but only keep one version of the same system in my collection.
Thanks for the review. Agree with you on this being the least favorite of the trilogy. Think my favorite is Nova Luna. I did back the Habitats reprint so looking forward to that as well
