I played this last night for the first time, and it was fun, but there is at least some amount of brokenness. I was dealt the Obelisk of the Crescent as one of my monuments, which allows you to place a building in any empty square, not just one of the squares you're taking the cubes from. I built that first, then proceeded to build with abandon, because I didn't need to worry about how to place my buildings to prevent me from getting blocked. We had Cloister in the game (one point per each cloister in a corner), and I build nine of them, including one in each corner for 36 points. I had a smattering of other points and finished with 47, almost twice what the player in second had. This monument should either be removed or used only in the cards variant--it was far too powerful for me to be able to pick cubes that worked for the buildings I wanted to build.
Tiny towns really shocked me. When I first tried it I thought, "this is easy, I've got this, no problem, oh crap I just need myself up." Over and over again, lol.
I said that about this month and ended up buying 4 Games.... now I pledged not to buy a new game for Febuary (but I never said anything about expensions... I'm really needing some of those...) I do need to also play all these new games afterall XD
I played it at Pax Unplugged. I liked it, but I was horrible at it, and I know I will never be good at it. The space in my brain matter devoted to spatial recognition is occupied by something else. Agree with Tom when he says it will be well received and sell.
I don't really feel like it.. Kids might mess up really quickly and just watch you have fun for like 10 minutes. Anyone messing up earlier just loses and waits for others to finish. To me that's not cool :/
This video looks to me like it has been upscaled! Meaning that the "actual" resolution is not 1080p when I watch it in that resolution, aka the source video seems to be of lower resolution....
How do you keep track of which building is build where; like you have three farms each feeding in their different way. Is it just gonna be combined powers, or how else are you gonna keep all track of it?
I think you missunderstodd. In each game there is only one type of farm which is drawn randomly during the setup. He just showed that in different games one farm would work like this, but next time you get a different one, same for the other buildings, thatÄs why they are colorized in different stacks
Correct, there is one building of each type. So the "Barn" token in one game may represent the Orchard, and in another, the Greenhouse. They will have the same shape of cubes to create, though they may require different colors, and each has a different effect or scoring method. @@NathienSK
Yeah, not too friendly. You gotta take into consideration the fact that Uno faces the same problem though and a lot of other games that focuses on colors.
Skarpo dont his daughters pick it up after he’s done shooting? I don’t think he pays them... well, actually he might with the old “I’ve put a roof over your head and food on your plate! That’s payment enough!”.
