Tom Vasel and Sam Healey take a look at this board game with dice placement 00:00 - Introduction 01:39 - Game overview 10:03 - Final thoughts Buy great games at www.gamenerdz.com/ Find more reviews and videos at www.dicetower.com
You guys do realize that finding out what got bumped out of your collection would make a Great series of videos that a TON of people would love to see. What moved in and what moved out....I understand the two may not correlate but it doesn't matter....a reason for a game moving in and a reason why a game may be moving out. You'd get huge views on that series.
PreppinShootinLivin I agree. Tom could talk about why it got culled (never played, replaced by a better game, etc.). He could add it as a segment to board game breakfast once the expansion series is complete. The only issue might be that he rarely replaces a game anymore.
Your spot on on the powers hehe they are ALL powerfull :D We find it a great game, feels like a Feld game so much to do and you alway's have not enough actions to do everything..
Added to my wishlist on cool stuff. This looks to be right in our (the wife and I) wheelhouse. We love Kingsburg and Stone Age. Looks to kind of combine those games somewhat....maybe.
HI tom. Did you get the chance yet to PLay Kings Abbey?. Also Dice placement that, to me, looks really nice. Missed the kickstarte and will have to wait for it to come to europe but would be nice with someone elses opinoin.
@ 2:45 it was said subsequent dice must be of equal or greater value. However the mathematical icons appear to be saying the opposite... unless the initial dice placed is supposed to have been on the right side instead of the left. Otherwise I'm confused by the symbols used.
I just found this game, looking for a euro game, where there is luck factor, but not so much as to ruin the experience. If somebody reading this has similar concerns, be troubled no more:D Marco Polo is the right game. PS.: what the hell is wrong with dice tower that it doesn't like medium to heavy euro games? :))
This is definetly a great game, and so is Tzolkin, from the same designers! Dungeon Bazaar that was released last year (same guys), was probably also a good game, but so badly published (huge misprints and bad color choices) it clearly flew under the radar... Can´t wait for what these italian guys have in the pipeline, coz IMHO they know how to make a good midwight eurogame that is interesting...easy to learn, never going to master, and fun all the way. Unforgiving games in the right way... You lose point for screwing up, but you´re still in the game...
I think people would get mixed messages if Tom said which game he dropped everytime, thinking that since "A > B thus B = garbage", when in reality, B is still good but it doesn't get played anymore. Tom may not admit it, but what he (and other people on YT) says has a lot of pull on some people's game playing/buying decisions. "The TableTop Effect" could become the "The Vasel Collection: THE CUT" effect. :p
