Monumental: A New-ish Game with My All-Time Favorite Mechanism 

Happy to have ya aboard!

Of course! Stuff happens and shipping has gotten a lot pricier in the last few years but FunForge, jeez! Post some updates, at least!

Yeah, it feels a little like they had that great grid idea and then built around that. The military especially feels so rudimentary, it’s almost out of place

I like the sound of that! That’s the next thing I’ll try!

Right on! Thank you!

Weird, in my opinion, this is one of the few games I prefer the minis version, tokens were messy, hard to see what was going on the tile, and they didn't fit if there were too many .. it was terrible and my gaming group did not like it ... one of my friends said, "I hate messy games and this is way too messy "... So I unpacked Mosaic and used mosaic minis instead ... warriors as warriors, Horseman as Hero and villagers as 2 scouts ... and suddenly the game was so much more enjoyable, and you could now instantly tell what was on each tile ... then you have games like Witcher that I have no clue what was the point of minis where a huge monster card on the board already serves the purpose, particularly if monsters are static and do not move around the board in any strategic way !

@@Berndr 😄 To each their own. I've just been moving away from miniatures the longer I've been in the hobby in general. I also can't really say what I'd prefer as an experience for something like this since I've not played it. I just know I have very limited space now, so I'm more likely to snag a token/standee game for storage sake.

@@morgaknightgames I am there with you just unnecessary clutter in most cases but few games I would not play without it like The Great Wall for example

I didn’t get to make the choice, since the only version I could find in retail was the token version. If both had been available, I probably would’ve gotten the miniature version because of my unhealthy obsession with grey plastic. That said, having only experienced the token version, it’s much more user-friendly than a minis edition. This is a game that absolutely does not need miniatures! For the ridiculous secondhand market prices for mini versions of this game, I think you’re much better off going for tokens

I have a token version and when I introduced it to my group, they did not like it, because tokens were messy and hard to fit onto a tile, falling off, and not clear what was going on the tile ... so I used mosaic's minis instead, which worked much better...in this particular game I do recommend minis version... this is a very good game

I was taught with minis. They don't fit well, unpainted you are mainly watching the bases to see board state, and while they look great in general pull from the game play. I'd like acrylic tokens but the cardboard is solid enough.

I’ve been falling in love with acrylic tokens and standees… just played Uprising: Curse of the Last Emperor and dang, those standees ROCK

@@boardandsaviorgames Dont know about that game but in Castles of Burgundy they are awful , too smooth keep sliding , and don't have all info printed on it ...
