@@GamingRulesVideos The most possible explanation -and it is only hypothetical so far - is that the erruption of the volcano of Thera (Santorini) led to a massive Tsunami wave that destroyed this extra-ordinary Bronze age civilization. Remnants of this civilization fled to shores of Middle East and were considered as precursors of Hebrew ancient tribes
"Welcome to playing games with Rob" 😂😂Very fun playthrough, I liked the dice drafting and needing score to go up the tracks a different take on just placing a worker for your actions. Will certainly look into this one.
For those who don't want to trawl through the chat, the answer to Paul's question on re-rolls (two matching answers, I didn't notice who the other person who got there first was) is 22%. Goes up to 29.5% with four players (one extra die). So typically once per game.
Thank you for another wonderful playthrough Paul! I like combos as much as anyone, but I think this game is too combolicious for my tastes. In rounds 3 & 4 the non active players have too much downtime waiting for the active player to execute all of their combos. Even though there is the bonus action to trade in cards for 1 coin each, I would still propose limiting the number of cards to a manageable number like 8-10. Since there as so many cards that allow you to play another card, sometimes a player will have to go through 20 cards to decide which one to play next which really bogs down play. It seems like the game is one round too many, but I see why the designers had to use 4 so that the 2 scorings would have equal amount of rounds. I could also propose that players only play 3 die/round, but that would handicap players getting > 9 value/color to move up the tracks. I agree with Fractus that this game reminds me of Tiletum. Consequently I will pass on Minos, and continue to enjoy Tiletum.
Luckily we mostly play at 2 and we both like a complicated, engine building game with lots of combos. This looks very tempting, although I'm still waiting for Windmill Valley to arrive so I should resist another pre-order.
@@GamingRulesVideos Im actually planning to in the next few years. What convention is big there? I know of UKGE, but I feel like there's something else?
