Just found your channel, and instantly loved it. You sir remind me of how i just love our brothers and sisters in the UK! And for this particular video, how timely - I was just today considering purchasing Troyes. Been hearing of this one for a long time, then noticed it was rather old, so i had this very question in mind! Will go ahead and pull the trigger on the purchase of this one today. KUDO's from your new American subscriber.
I’d have to start buying views to keep up with that lot…1m views for a video on a niece hobby? Unbelievable…literally. But thanks for the kind word Bud 👏🏻
Great review, just picked this up. Side note, have you considered a career as an audio book reader? You have a great voice, very pleasant to listen to.
One of the best reviews on the best board game ever made (according to me). It is so professional how well you can give a comprehensive insight into this complicated game. One thing I respectfully disagree: I do feel the theme. I think designers fit this rather abstract mechanism to the theme as much as they could. Every action cards makes sense how you should use dice on them. And it is wonderful how the game comes to life by the neutral player activities.
@@BoardGameBollocks One question, if you hadn't had dismissed Troyes from your top 10 because of the mismatch of Ladies card colour, where would you have placed it within that list?
Quite possibly. Pearl games response when I reached out to them about the issue was t great. They literally said tough shit. This is always at the back of my mind when playing this game.
Is the asmodee edition of the game the same like the pearl games edition?!? I buy it today with the ladies Expansion from pearl games im now not anymore sure i did all buy right now o0
Hi! I found one copy of Troyes in my local game store and also Black Ángel, and it seems a new version of Troyes. Which one do you recommend? I will go towards Troyes. Bare bones euro, wood, no fancy things. A rarity these days.
Still trying to understand what the value of 4K is...in a video that consists of a talking head in a ASMR style. Some beautiful and long shots of the game with great lighting to make it pop would make this video so much more interesting and worthy of the 4K tag
@@BoardGameBollocks exactly, this is how Troyes is pronounced. it's not how you pronounce it though. you seem to be saying trr-wah, when it's just twah.
Such a dumb comment. The pronunciation was good enough. I've heard it horribly mispronounced in other reviews (pronouncing the final s for example, giving something like "tro-his", THAT is disturbing) He says it the right way with an english accent, which considering he is english can be forgiven I guess...xd. How many non native speakers have you heard pronounce "through the ages" or "Brass lancashire" perfectly?
