Dobře si pamatuju Vlaaduv prototyp Proroctví v klubu deskových her v Brně, pěkná hra, na mě trochu dlouhá, ale fajn. Nevěděl jsem, že vlastně jdu kolem historie :) Každopádně Proroctví hrajeme do dneška, samozřejmě proložené Krycími jmény :)

@vladimirdostal7493 11 месяцев назад

Proroctví byla první pořádná hra, kterou jsme doma měli. Hráli jsme ji s dětmi pořád dokola včetně všech rozšíření. Pořád ji doma máme.

Wow, even if I have copy of first edition of Through the Ages and I am playing games in Czech Rep. more then 20 years, I never heard history of CBG. What i shame on me. Thanks for this nostalgic memories and mood.

@VasiljevaAleks Месяц назад

Сквозь века - моя любимая настольная игра, и, конечно, ее придумал прекрасный человек, не могло быть иначе. Как хорошо, что в нашем мире есть такие чудесные люди как Влаад и его команда, спасибо им, что родились 🙂

@bjorn2625 10 месяцев назад

Fantastic story, well told. Nice to see the Rare eyes on the lead eng’s copy. TtA remains my favourite board game and still play the digital implementation almost every single day. And I still suck at it.

@MariachiMeeple 11 месяцев назад

a labor of love! all czech games I bought feels different, now i undestand a little more why i got that feeling!

@phantomwhale 11 месяцев назад

Really enjoyed seeing the faces and the history around this one! Great production too :) Look forward to the Tash-Kalar episode, so everyone can marvel at the story of that one, and then hopefully build up enough enthusiasm to another expansion deck or four! I know Vlaada's got some amazing ideas tucked away there, bring them to us!!

@Stein1982 11 месяцев назад

Vlaada's games were what made me love boardgaming. My first real game was Agricola, and then I found Through the Ages and Dungeon Lords. They are still among my most favourite games. Dungeon Petz and Space Alert are also fantastic. Most days I play a game or two of Through the Ages on my phone.

@cally77777 10 месяцев назад

What struck me after hearing the END of this story was: how weird! TTA was in a way CGE's signature game, known by gamers everywhere, yet in the end, the original was NOT a CGE publication. And although it inspired CGE to begin publishing games, for 5 years they were doing so in a tiny office, presumably without the trappings of success. If you were making a Hollywood film about the company (say like they did Facebook) this is not how you would expect things to go. It would be an overnight success, as everyone acknowledged TTA's brilliance, and CGE would be catipulted to fame. I think the real story would make a great alternative film. About people who really cared about games, not necessarily about fame and fortune.

@georgiosiosifidis5999 2 месяца назад

Awesome video! After committing so much time and effort into Through the Ages and other Czech Games... games, I had the chance to learn the whole story behind it! Like, how it begun, how it came to life, plus how in initially worked. Thanks for this, looking forward to the next ones!

@HoloDoc42 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for this great video! Minor nitpick: Around 13:44, you‘re showing „Sid Meier’s Civilization: The Board Game“ from FFG (2010), but I think Vlaada was talking about the one from EGG (2002).

Arena was one of my very first board games. It has an amazing combat system. Still waiting for some expansions with new heroes though ;-). Please bring this masterpiece back to life! :-)

@elvaliente8772 11 месяцев назад

liked the documentary, would the other capters talk more about the thinking process or development process on how a game was made?

@CzechGamesEdition 11 месяцев назад

yes :) we don't go into much depth as some episodes feature more than one game, but in certain games, we showcase what was the inspiration or the vision for them, the different prototype versions, as well as issues during the development process, the production and how they were tackled.

The point of board games is to play with others, solo board games is an oxymoron.

@AnaIvanovic4ever 10 месяцев назад

@@jerryf196 Maybe read a dictionary when you are alone and have no one to play with? Why should I keep my opinions to myself? Solo board games are stupid, dedicated solo games I have nothing against and just ignore, but I am very tired of loners demanding solo versions of real games.
