Thanks for your style of reviewing, I particularly enjoy the part where you tell what sort of people would enjoy this game. The one thing I would add to that, is that you need another table in your house to play this on. Or store it inside your gaming table but then you have to finish it before storing another game there. So that's the only thing holding me back from buying this, since I don't have a solid gaming group yet. I guess I could play it all by myself but I already have videogames for that. Always too many good games to play!
Been waiting for your review on this one! Really wanted to get this but it's completely out of stock everywhere in Australia. Great fun review thanks guys, seems the production quality is getting even better
Fabled Lands is the most comparable game to this, and I'm guessing that's where the inspiration came from. These are RPG game books with a huge open world, and yes you can have your own ship and travel freely between continents, islands etc. It's amazing, check it out!
Excellent review, I'm playing through Jaws of the Lion atm which is the only thing stopping me from getting this game since I don't want multiple campaign/story games
This looks sooo cool! Also I laughed at the weird, bad impersonation of a british kid at 3:14 because I do a bad english boy accent too sometimes just because it's funny to do :D
Was just about to pull the trigger on this game... until I heard about sleeping gods distant skies... have already spent too much money on board games this year so I'm just going to wait for that
I wish a lot of my campaigne games were shorter actually. I'd rather a 16 hour campaigne with different endings then have a 50 hour game. With 1 ending. I would be likely to play the shorter one again and again
I have started to not like boardgames that have long campaigns where you need to put in dozens of hours to finish. I'll buy them but do not have enough time to finish them so I feel like they are a waste of money. I miss the really good games where you play the same game an infinite number of times like Scythe, nemesis, Star Wars Rebellion, etc. Story games like this where there is "replayability" doesn't matter because I cant finish the initial run!
Ok I must ask... I just watched your Destinies review before this one, and you had the same "alternate" games from that video. So where did you guys end up on Destinies? Do you still like it as much as you first did?
We've finished campaigns for both games now and the conclusion would be that Destinies is a much quicker, simpler game that has some unique mechanisms, but won't rock your socks off. That said it's still a solid story game - a good game in our ranking system. Sleeping Gods on the other hand feels and is massive. There's much more management, but that also means there's so many choices and options. It's in a league of its own. As we said it's at least fantastic game or even a must-have.
@@BoardGameHangover Thank you for replying! I need light games in my groups so Destinies still sounds worthwhile. Also we would be lucky to even finish all of that.
Really great content, I enjoy your videos so much. I stumbled on your videos so often, that I had to subscribe, looking forward to new videos. :) Hello from Slovakia.
