Shores of Tripoli Wargame Review - Fort Circle Games - Historical Board Game - Kevin Bertram 

Great review, I love that you do kind of a fast and then a longer one. And all your points were well made and understandable. I also really like the idea of bringing this into a classroom. I would have loved that as a kid! Great work, Zilla, can‘t wait to see what you come up with next

Great review! Fascinating game, and a great series of videos about it. Well done!

Really enjoyed this summary of the game. From someone on the outside its been a lot of fun to watch.

Regarding the luck factor, I think the word "swingy" is most appropriate here, simply because of the dice mechanics. I don't mind it much, but I agree it can become frustrating to roll all 6s then suddenly all 1s. It just isn't particularly tailored by the designer, unlike say, a chart. And I'm not sure if you played any of GMTs Card Driven Games (or CDGs) before, but this really reminded me of those, and maybe the COIN series as well, although those are like, vastly more complicated and in-depth; maybe the game W1815 more closely resembles it. Anyway, this is an interesting and seemingly fun introductory wargame for sure. It has baked-in rules (cards) that add chrome without extra overhead, and the design, despite being a bit "luck oriented", still favors those who can play their hand well; so it's not exactly a drawback, but rather a caveat, as you stated. Anyway, I've rambled enough, this is another cracking review! Can't wait what you'll play next. 😃

Phenomenal in-depth review 👍 A must-buy game.
