Join me as we begin a new Showcase for a beloved game which is well known in the solo community called This War of Mine designed by Michał Oracz and Jakub Wiśniewski. This game was published originally on Kickstarter by Awaken Realms and the retail release handled by Galakta! Enjoy ;D
This would have to be the first board game I've experienced that rises so many emotions! How is this even possible? The board game developers have really nailed this time! If you feel no emotion even watching the play through you should check your pulse. My group are going to be blown away!
That intro is insane. I don't know if you'll remember I asked awhile back about availability. I finally managed to aquire the core game and both expansions the immersion with the diary is a masterpiece in gaming.
Hey British! Thanks so much. I believe I do remember that. It's a fanastic experience imo. There's a lot to be learned from it and unlike most board games your decisions really do matter and stick with you afterwards. Thanks for watching! :)
I played the video game and love it, so when the KS came in it was an insta back. I never regret it. The game is excellent, and best solo (or two at the most). But you have to brace yourself. Could be a very low punch. I know no other game like this one. The stories you can encounter could be terrifying... But sometimes you can see some light in all the darkness. Love the game and love the channel!
Hey Gabriel! You described the experience perfectly. Finger crossed things don’t go south to quick or I may need to do my first ever back to back playthrough for a game haha
I am delighted you are Showcasing this game. I am waiting for my copy. I always end up going to your channel for setups and playthroughs because you make it easy for nubie gamers to understand. Love the channel
Played it on the pc, and man, it's very immersive, depressive, unfair, dark, but the sense of accomplishment is one of the most satisfying, ever, in a game. The first time i played it, one of my characters died, and i felt the sadness of the other characters. It hit me in such a way, that couldn't played it for a week. When i played it again, and saw the message in the end "the war is over", i can't tell you the sense of accomplishment and relief that i felt. Looking curious to see how it feels in a table.
It’s a masterpiece digitally and on the table as well. It hits just as hard. Maybe not as hard as time on the video game could be longer. But they did an incredible job translating it to the table! If you become a Patron at the Solo Promoter tier you can access Part 1 early!
Just purchased the game. Should arrive any day now. Looking forward to the game play. Doesn’t look like a “fun” game…but that’s the experience I’m looking for as a solo player for this game. Good video, as always.
Thank you so much. I have the base game and 1st expansion but need to learn the core gameplay before heading into the sewers. I so want that 2nd expansion later.
cool because this game is kind of heavy setup/turn order (lots of things to do in a turn). hope you ll show us the new epansion ! ....(and P**th**an S**a not to mention it again) :p
So is this good with two players? Honestly even though I watch your channel and think your content and breakdown of games are awesome, I am actually not a Solo player, and tend to play games with just me and one other person.
Yes it is! This would be a great two player game. I personally wouldn't go higher but you can. I think you need to be central to the decisions. So either solo all the way or one other person are best. :)
@@RollingSolo Well I actually got 4 people in my house that can play board games, but 2 of them don't like board games lol. Like they don't like anything more complicated then Monopoly. So I always play with the 1 other person that likes them.
You certainly have to be in the right frame of mind. The game is a masterpiece and there’s a lot to learn from this game. Things worth learning compared to everything else.
