Everyone always mentions the box flip, but I think a truly underrated moment is when the soft piano music queues after Rodney walks away from the shelf. It’s so cute and inviting!
Thank you so much for this Rodney! Fabulous video and explanation as always :) Really special day when one of your games is featured on Watch it Played!
We got to play this for the first time today. We both really liked it. Our score ended up being a lot closer than we thought at the beginning. It is especially neat because of the point salad aspect: if you don't get a lot of points through the tiles you are taking, you might still score well on the neurological pathways on your board. I thought at first all the spatial aspects of this game were going to make it nearly impossible for me to grasp, but I caught on pretty quickly. I think the theme is especially fun for a nostalgic date night. There are a lot of different kinds of things going on, which really makes it feel like a brain game for sure! But the gentle theme and the different ways you can score make it much less intimidating to play. Great game. :)
Your videos are of tremendous help. I brought my copy of Vivid to game night last weekend, saw the rules, and put it right back in the car. Thanks to you, I can get it back out, play around with it, and hopefully teach it to my friends! Thank you so much!!!
I feel like this game isn't getting enough love in the board gaming world. It's a really neat, thinky game. It has an intriguing mix of puzzles, planning, improvising, and action selection. I hope to see more games like this that explore memories & synapses in this interesting kind of way.
What a fantastically different theme for a game! Any time I see a game on your videos it gives me so much more incentive to buy it because I know can follow along with you to learn it. This may sound weird, but I think of you as a Mr. Rogers for grown ups. You are so kind and clear and I want ro be in your neighborhood! My husband teases me I have a crush on you...it's that Canadian Mr. Rogers charm!!! You bring me back to the happiest memories of my childhood...just like this game!!!
Got myself a Deluxe KS copy on sale in an online boardgameshop a while ago. Watched your tutorial today after reading the rulebook. I get the rules and played the game solo (pretend second player 😊), but I definitely need some more practice before I understand how to score higher 😂 Thanks for your tutorial 🙏 When I buy a game, I always look on YT if you have a tutorial because they are great 👏
I like puzzling tiles placement games. As it was half-priced on a French online store, I took it! thanks for the vid! I subscribed to the channel, as I watch regularly your explanations. They are easy to understand, for foreigners like me. PS : there's a solo variant on BGG.
I think this is the first I've noticed that graded spiderman comic on the shelf! Nice to see some other geeky stuff on display! Kallax's are good for more than board game storage! Lol.. Also the game seems crunchier than it appears! Looks like a light weight tile placement game similar to Azul style games, but with lots of different scoring objectives and rules to move tiles around. Interesting. I'll have to try it out someday!
Not so sure about the theming to me and what these fancy hexes have to do with memories, but this definitely looks like it would be interesting to play (plus shiny things and bright colors! ^_^).
Ha! This one did get recorded before I sent into surgery (I was in the middle of Citadels when all that went down :) - but the next video I release will be post surgery. I'm glad to be back in better health!)
Man your videos are aweeeeeesome everytime I start your video I feel delighted ,your smiling expression ,your cheerful voice and your brotherly " hi" everything is just amazing thank you man for making these videos it makes my day go wonderfully well Edit: can you tell me your all time favourite game and a campaign type game for beginners that don't break the bank as in my country import taxes are high and currency is highly depreciated thank you in advance
So glad you've been enjoying the videos Hussain - very kind of you to say :) For your other questions, I can't help much there. I don't think I really have an all time favorite game and I hesitate to give personalized suggestions, because what I like, someone else might not, but all the best in your quest to find that next great game.
@@WatchItPlayed Man sorry for disturbing you again 😅😅 I and my cousin have recently developed a taste of boardgames and I wanna ask would you prefer gloom haven jaw of the lion as a beginner game ( personalized suggestion required😁😁😁)
@@RELAXINGVIBES2493 Ha! Well, you won't get a personalized suggestion form me :) That said, I've only played Jaws of the Lion, so I couldn't recommend one over the other anyway :)
I found telling the difference between blue and purple difficult on the board, BUT if you notice that the symbol of the color is included in the edge clusters. So then you are reassured which color you need to link to it.
@@WatchItPlayed interesting, those double layered boards look premium, I can’t seem to find and direct comparison of the normal to the deluxe anywhere. I’ll ask on BGG. Thanks anyway 👍
