Oh that sounds like a perfect game for us: not many rules, easy setup, not too confrontational - I think we ´re in! Perfect for people who like light-weighed games (like us) 🎉Thank you for showing it. By the way, it is interesting: Dr. Reiner Knizia is german (me too), but you hardly hear a thing about his games on most of the german you tube channels. Have a nice time🎉
But where's the airships? One's right there on the cover. 😢 The pretty art drew me in to this, but it's not what I was expecting based on that cover. Also, I'm not sure how I feel about getting end game scoring cards when you're in the midst of playing a game; I can see the potential of drawing scoring cards for things you have no chance of achieving (or that you could need to heavily alter your strategy to score), whereas others might just luck out and get cards for doing the things they were already doing. Winning or losing a game based on random card draws wouldn't be the best way to end the game, if my impressions of this are accurate.
This looks super simple to get to the table and fun! I love their use of recyclable materials too. 😊 Maggie, I’ve been wanting to ask, WHERE do you buy your shirts? You always have the best patterns. Hope y’all have a wonderful week!
A good game, you like it, but do you predict it will land in your top 10 at the end of the year? I suspect its lightness will probably prevent that from happening for most people's top 10 lists.
I really enjoy your reviews. They are informative and getting two perspectives helps quite a bit. I have made several buying decisions based on your recommendations and have never regretted a single one.
Thanks for the vid! New viewer here thanks to the Kickstarter page! You gilrs sold me on this one! This will be a good game for my gaming group that's easy to learn and start, and a nice change of pace. Thanks again and love your dynamic!
Because it is Knizia and a tile layer I keep thinking of my favourite Knizia - Blue Lagoon. How would say it compares in depth, replayability, and game feel?
It reminded us of that too! Different objectives but having a single tile to play made it feel similar! 💜 it's nice to think this might be a gateway for someone new now ☺️
Thanks for your review! We (game group) generally like tile laying games. Game night has grown with a variety of skill level, so I’m always on the lookout for an accessible game, easy to teach, yet enough challenge to keep the gamers interested.
If my wife likes kingdomino, you think this would be a safe bet right? Sounds easy to learn and quick to set up, which is a huge plus for me since it’s more likely to get played on a week night.
No it is the rebuilding of territories in a post apocalyptic setting. Note however that you are opposing clans "vying for control" so you do take over areas from each other.
Open to all readers: So there's this and then there's Bebop, another hexagonal tile-laying area control game. If you had to pick between Rebirth and Bebop, which would you go for?
We've actually played both! Rebirth is much, much lighter. Rebirth is an accessible filler style game, Bebop is very crunchy with a more complex scoring system. Bebop is likely to be the main event of game night (and more challenging for newer / younger players). They're both equally abstract. Hope that helps!
Sounds like a great game! The area control mechanism reminds me of Kahuna, just less brutal. Have you played MLEM yet? it's a quite thematic Reiner Knizia game, in my opinion. I feel like a brave kitty going to space.
