It's a bird! It's a plane! No! We're not doing that joke. This video goes through the Superhero deck (obviously), looking at its four main mechanics and three factions that will help you bring justice to whatever streets you play Smash Up in.

Tortuga 1667 Review
Переглядів 20 тис.6 років тому
Review of the Kickstarter game "Tortuga 1667" by Facade Games. In this 2-9 player pirate-themed board game, players play as British or French pirates, or a lone Dutch pirate pretending to be someone else. In a wild rush to get and move treasure to your hold before the Spanish Armada arrives, players will have to attack, mutiny, move treasure, brawl, and use a common pool of cards to win.

    I love pairing Tornadoes with Zombies. Recurring my dust devils with the Zombie lord and using movement actions to trigger favorable bases allowed me to score second most points on basically every base in a full game. I won because it was mostly different players getting first place. having 8 points spread over multiple bases feels like a tactical nuke you can send in

    I like to play them with giants ants. It gives ants more protection against destruction and "return to hand attack", so i can keep their power counter on the board.

    before seeing your vid: i think this would combine well with Itty Critters from teh big in japan expansion. You can use trainers and actions to thorw out a sneqky squire to another player and then at the end of your turn the minion returns to your hand or deck. Giving you the bonus but not leaving your minion in control of the enemy :) Ignobles also work a lot better with their titan :) Edit: and there it is, the ignobles itty critter combo :D

Having kids shifted a lot of my content making from sketch comedy, music, and board game videos to family memories and teaching my son how to make videos (and also just made me tremendously busier) but I’ve been itching to do a video like this for a while and finally carved out some time for it.

    I feel bad I didn't see this combo earlier, but I only recently bought Munchkin, and was barely able to try this combo out. There is some amazing synergy between Halflings and Ignobles. The Ignobles can give away a minion to an opponent to allow the Halflings to drop a minion chain to break the base. With the new Titan this is even better since Small But Tough can be used on The Foot of the King, or The Aunt of Drakes which both make great card draw engines when paired with The Hill that Strolls.

  • @Lumina637
    @Lumina637 6 років тому

    Grannies with mythic Greeks is awesome ,too!! Granny’s Purse and Favor of Dionysus (play Dionysus and then Granny’s Purse and Dionysus again...) can let you play many and many actions to burst the power of Heracles or Odysseus, and mythic Greeks also have some power-adding or extra action play (Favor of Hermes). Don't need to say grannies is good at finding Heracles or Odysseus and take then back from discard pile, and don't forget Favor of Poseidon has the same ability. What I find is that Grannies tends to make your minions on the bottom of the deck and your actions on the top of the deck. Once, I did it with making sure Odysseus is on the bottom of the deck and play Favor of Hermes first to get more action play. Then play "Hush, My Stories are On" to play Odysseus, and it also get a +1 power counter(Odysseus has 6 now). After that is Favor of Dionysus (8) → Granny’s Purse (9) → Favor of Dionysus (11) → Granny’s Purse (12) → Favor of Dionysus (13). After doing that, you also have an extra action to play, such as Favor of Ares (Odysseus now has 17). Don't forget I don't paly any minions yet XD If I have Heracles on hand, there would be incredible power ever.

    Could you do a "Disco Dancers" or "Vigilantes" Faction review? They seem kinda cool factions but with a weird restriction of "normal actions" having to be played on them (referring to disco dancers) and not really having a coherent theme in vigilantes besides only having 1 copy of each of their minions I really have no idea how to go about them.

    • @jakeritter3287
      @jakeritter3287 6 років тому

      ME! I haven't been as excited for an expansion since Cease and Desist. I love the new factions and their unique mechanics they're building in. I'm also really excited to get my hands on the titans, so I can take decks like Innsmouth, Ignobles, and Vampires as a strategic decision and not as much of a "let's see if I can actually make these work" decision.

    • @poketplayer7197
      @poketplayer7197 6 років тому

      I really like the time traveler's titan as one of my favorite pairings with them is ninjas. allowing me to play extra actions each turn when it's onboard is great and because it doesnt gain power on a base it can stay on board for a while.
