Voidfall - Kickstarter Preview 

Thanks so much for the insights ! Excellent preview - loved the summary, its really helped me confidently back this game. Looks amazing

That thing where you put the card massive on the screen is the coolest little aspect of this video. Never seen that before :D

You guys are ALWAYS my go to RU-vid channel for play-throughs and rules explanations. Fantastic job on Voidfall.

This was an extremely helpful preview and it's what pushed me over the edge to back it.

I love the greenscreen to see the cards up close! Nice!

Great job, as always

Omg yes SO excited for voidfall!! Was interested in backing this one but your breakdown definitely sealed the deal-it’s interesting to see the juggling mechanic and how prioritizing focus cards/upkeep each round plays a huge role. loved the breakdown friends! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Wow! An Intergalactic Sci-Fi game. You both are amazing.

Very thorough video. Subscribed.

As a new owner of the game this was an excellent rundown of the rules, exactly how I teach games to my friends. Not sure why other channels make it sound so complicated and boring, this was right up my alley.

So well explained, makes my life so much easier. Thanks for that 😊

Hi Guys! Are you going to do a playthrough of this game? Your playthrough are the best! You don’t only teach but have a lot of fun and it shows, it is contagious! Really looking forward to back this game. Looks awesone

Finally a video where I can understand a little of what is going on in this game!

Excellent and concise overview! Very impressive! I love the close up shots of the set up and individual cards. It helps a ton. I followed the designer diaries on BGG, but found it hard to grasp how the different aspects of the game blended together. You cleared that fog for me. It is still a hurdle to learn the iconography though. Ian O'Toole's graphic design is good, but busy. Anachrony is similar in that regard - a lot of icons to decipher and get familiar with.

Subscribed based on this engaging and thorough review.

Your getting very sophisticated with your ongoing growth. Very swish close up camera set up in this promo. This is the Dune of this year's games one feels. This is a great effort!

There is a lot to grasp here. My initial reaction to this was that it was too fiddly for me to be immersed in a thematic experience (as opposed to the fiddly aspects of Kanban EV was immersive to the point that I might as well go to work instead of playing a game). However, the art and graphic design of Voidfall really draws me in so I ended up repeating segments of this review a number of times for clarifications. The more I watched, the more I appreciated the game mechanics presented as well as the work the developers put into the graphic design and iconography. Voidfall is probably too heavy for the people I game with but, if nothing else, the overall game design and presentation may lead me to back it in much the same way as one collects works of art. Great review of what seems to be a very involved and interesting game.

I love Mindclash and this was an instant back for me. Having a solo mode was also great as now I can fully learn the game before trying to teach others..lol Great job with the overview.

I’m not sure if I’d ever get this to the table due to its complexity but wow Ian O’Toole knocked it out of the park. Very appealing visually.

Would love to see a playthrough when the game is released in the wild.

It looks like a Vidal Lacerda game if he designed anything that allowed for more than one action per turn :p Excellent overview! A lot to cover in a short time.

The dials look great ... do they maintain their settings even as you move the dial panel around? (ie, the numbers don't shift when shaken)?

The soundtrack at the beginning was great! What's the song?

Do I ever need to use a secondary resource to follow stuff. Like a pad of paper

I am getting some Gaia Project vibes from this game with all the different ways of scoring, but it looks like this is more interactive with the board and with other players.

Hi both, What a great presentation, dynamic and exciting as you seems to be fully convince by this game. I'm just having a question for the 2 player setup, I think you mentioned it but as my mother tongue is not English, I prefer to ask you confirmation. I've understood that for 2 players and I assume that it is the same for all configurations, the number of tiles with not be increased during the game at all? Or is there any action via cards allowing players to add tiles and so increase the space I would say? Thanks a lot for your confirmation on this

Thank you for the presenation, it is really nice to hear you go over a big game. Are you going to make a full playthrough with the prototype or will you wait until 2023 when the final version is ready?

This game is cool! Hope you guys please do a playthrough!

I am hoping you do a playthrough - even if it's just a round or two. I am finding it difficult to follow how this game plays without seeing it in action.

In a nutshell, you say... that is one helluva nut.

Great video!

Great preview! How does it play with 2 players? I mostly play just with my wife. Any thoughts comparing Voidfall to Eclipse for 2 players? I’ve been looking at getting Eclipse.

Great preview from one of my favorite duos, you rose to the challenge! I do like the way you support each other and your style of videos but you may want to limit the short confirmations when one person is talking. I find it a little distracting and it doesn't really add much, then again I'm easily distracted lol

Would like your views on Voidfall compared to on Mars or Gaia project. Which one do you prefer and why?

I wonder how you would rate this game compaired to others you really like? It looks quite complex and seems a bit disjointed in some places and not as smooth as others games. What are your thoughts on that and if this is better than Anachrony?

Are you planning on doing a full playthrough of it? And also, where do you track your scores? Haha

I love Anachrony 💜

been hoping you guys would play Imperium from the same designers!

Is it possible to tell us the box size? It would be a pleasure

I'm not really a 4X fan but this game looks pretty slick. Keeping my eye on it. 👀

Hey Before you play! Big fan of your videos even if I rarely comment. Not related to this video but as this is you most recent one I will ask here. Haven't you made a Nova Luna playthrough in the past? I am pretty sure I remember it, but there does not seem to exist anymore? Or I remember completely wrong? Was really looking for it as I am thinking to get the game. Thank you.

How do this game scale in 2 players?

Great overview, as always! So.. the combat is mostly taking turns removing cubes? Is there anything to prevent you from using a tiny ship to remove an opponents giant ship's cube?

Black is my least favourite colour in board games and being a space fan, I feel I always have to compromise when I lay the usual black tiles on the table (Gaia Project, Xia, Twilight Imperium). But then you can leave it to Ian O'Toole to make a space game look like proper eye candy! First Black Angel, now this! He's such a legend, his games are the gems of my collection.

Wait. So that first round only had 4 actions? So it's possible you'll only be taking 12ish actions per game? In a 4X game?

This game doesn’t grabs me that much. It’s definitely pretty tho. I love the player boards production.

Clicked on this so fast

I have 2 concerns before backing: First the production dials. I know this is a prototype but I hope they will fix that because for now they look made of cheap carton. Then my biggest concern here is the agenda cards. There's a lot of stuff going on those cards with all the icons, especially the last card showed by Monique. Some players will need a magnifying glass to see all the icons. To me the board and the cards are overly produced. Well I still have 9 days to change my mind...And the walls, are they nails buffer?

I love how you two are not scared to get your hands dirty on super heavy complex games

Great video but this is an easy pass for me, it's just too complex, I don't think my group would be excited to play it. I'm just going to stay with Tiny Epic Galaxies hahaha

0:10 It's so strange to me that Anachrony and Trickerion are the two most mentioned games from MCG, and yet Cerebria - incl.. its expansion - is such an excellent Mindclash game. Why is that? Is there something about Cerebria that makes it less interesting, less.playable, less enjoyable, less unique than the other two?

Thanks for the overview, it solidified my decision not to back it, components are lovely but the way it plays, without combat randomness, it will be just another cold war game. Fortunately there's another 4x solo in space launching soon :)

Monique: "Everything you see here is going to be an extremely condensed version..." The only other video I've seen posted is Heavy Cardboard's 5-hour playthrough, so "condensed" sounds right. 😅

Poor Naveed. Just nodding most of the video lol

The game looks pretty, but anything else.. where comes the fun on playing this game? Combat seems week to be honest, and not exciting at all. Anything else is accountancy, keeping track of dials, pushing cubes, upkeep, idk. Seems really a lot of work there. Gameplay seems dull, and 4x is just there for marketing. I hoped better of this. :/ Maybe I’m wrong, and I would love to see how it plays, couple of rounds at least. :)

Eclipse 2nd edition is my favourite 4x game and it's fairly complex, But voidfall looks bewildering, I also dislike the artwork.

Socbrutal

First!

What's up with the guy on the right? Is he just there to nod and agree with the woman on the left? They must be married - that was my job when I was married. Thank you for the great video.

I don't think you said "essentially" enough.
