Hello and welcome to GG
My name is Ben and I love board games. When I retired from the military, I didn’t really know how to make friends besides work. So, I decided to embrace my nerdom and go back to playing games. It was an easy way for me to meet people who shared likeminded interests. As you can see I kind of went crazy on my hobby and now I have decided to make a gaming channel sharing with the community I love.
This channel’s goal is to build on the positivity of the community and support each other during these hard times. I want everyone of you enjoy the channel. I plan on doing review and gameplay videos. I am planning on having multiple points of view by playing games with the local gaming community, so if you are in Albuquerque NM and you see me ask for an invite. I am always interested in what others think of the game I play also it will help me with my people skills.

The progress sections in Earthborne Rangers feels like a downgrade from Lord of the Rings LCG. you are the second channel I found that give an honest indepth analysis of why Earthborn Rangers might not be as good as people think. Thank you. I'll continue building my LofR Collection and then expand to AH LCG.
Earthborn rangers has potential to be an incredible game. I get push back that it's not that kind of game, but it is compared to AHLCG and LotRLCH. I am waiting for the next expansion hoping that it makes it fun and interesting.
The A6 cards are a wonderful size for artwork, i have the dark sector and it's such an upgrade on tarot sized which is sometimes used
Thanks for making the Maximum Carnage video. Was really helpful in figuring out what was included, and if it is worth the eventual purchase! Cheers!
just found this channel for the awesome videos of unboxing and first impressions, then i found out about your giveaways and its so cool what are you doing for the community! Keep up with the good content ;)
Thank you
I liked Dark Sector when I played it so this looks cool. I have only seen the show, not played the video games, but I like the IP
If you get the chance play the video game. The show has some very good acting and cinematography, but it doesn't impact me they way the game did. The emotional response and connection that I made as Jole taking care of Ellie is something that has never happened in a video game. I am trying to do a full review and if find dark sector I will add that as a comparison.
I’m sad I missed this one when it was on KS, I might have to make some bad decisions on the new one today haha.
I hear you, but this month is already rough on funds.
Good review man. Looks pretty fun, be glad to try it someday
It's is better than expected, honestly I set the bar low on IP games, but dead cells and the last of us have gone above expectations. Dead cells is the best IP adaptation so far, I know metal gear is on the way, it is supposed to arrive this month.
I have a good portion of Escape the Dark Sector and it’s fun but super random and punishing. This looks like a cool iteration on the system
Thanks for the analysis! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
Spam bot. Who the fuck just shows up talking bout crypto on a board game review.
Chuckle. This darn game needs to hurry up and ship!
It's great you're doing these free giveaways! *fingers crossed for DMD animal allies*
The chimp is missing a hand because he's actually the one you encounter in the exploration deck of season 1 episode... 1 I guess? He was recruitable as an ally in there, and he was missing a hand too. It's a cool wink for the fans.
That's a really funny lore through back.
The Stretch Goal Box is missing. It is part of wave 2.
It's a weird mix of stretch goals. Wave 1 has a few of them mixed into the core box. Wave 2 have what they call non game play stretch goals. Everything is listed in one of the updates on game found.
@@GenjiGamer I think they will deliver the missing components in the stretch goal box. Most of it is gameplay relevant. (An onimous signal campaign, 4 Stalker characters, variety items, weapons, and enemies, the duty and freedom faction pack, the animal allies, personal stories part 2...)
I’ll comment again on this video, *for the almighty algorithm* hahah. Thanks for the chance!
I cannot wait to get more for this game, I have just most of the stuff from the first campaign. Hard pass on the Toddlerthulhu haha. And thanks for adding in the Animal Allies to the giveaway! That is the one thing from the second campaign that I can’t get easily later and I really want to add them in. Fingers crossed 🤞 hah. Cheers!
No problem, even not making money off of YT I made a vow to give back to my viewers and any KSE extras I can afford at the time. I was thinking of doing all the KSE card close ups for people to proxy.
I made a vow to give back to my viewers, even if I am not making money off YT. I try to get a KSE that I can afford at the time to add to my giveaways. Good luck.
I have a question for you. That small single figure you show in the beginning, im trying to determine if that is the Monster Hunter add on. It looks like the removed the antlers from the back to it and now it is identical to the one in the base game. I was hoping to pick it up but if it is for some reason not different ill pass
That figure is the monster hunter and it is the same in the box. I usually buy something that's a KSE for my give aways. He is for people who buy the retail copy and missed out.
Supposed to use glue for organizer
hope that next year they do something better
Asmode really ruined all the OP kits for all of FFG prize support. I am hopeful that FFG will be allowed to continue to make AH without Asmode ruining it.
Hemlock is a super fun campaign too!
👍
Man. I want one so bad but I don't have any location near me that does it 😢
I will do an update after the event and let everyone know if there's any left for the giveaway.
The Esoteric Order of Gamers has made free downloadable reference sheets. UA-cam doesn't like links, but he has a lonk to it on bis recent Flashpoint video.
The knife having ap2 refers to the idea that Spartans know where to shove the knife between plates and into the neck seal etc, rubber has no armour against a combat knife. In the video game I whack from behind can instant kill you even with shields so it’s trying to keep in line with the game.
In the Spartan set you get 16 Spartan models and 4 Elites but you still have a game of 4 v 4 so it’s not crowded. It does however let you take more options and even take multiples of the same units if you want. The keywords in the reference guide are limited in the base set, you will only need to remember about 10 of them and they are rather easy to remember, as and when Mantic release new units you will also get introduced to the other keywords (some of which are only usable with covenant and banished…). Learn it slowly but don’t assume you have to learn it all at once :)
When you finally find more stuff under the insert. lol. Satisfaction.
I have been interested in this one but didn’t have the funds when the campaign ran
I understand completely with all the stuff coming out and how expensive the KS and GF games are. It sucks to miss out on good exclusives. From what I can tell the retail version of Dead cells is mainly QoL improvements and 3 exclusive cards for equipment. We have been playing the game heavily and I am trying to get a review out soon.
@@GenjiGamer I hate when there is KS/GF exclusive content, just so anti-consumer
@@picklebuckeye it really is, the business model of FOMO should hurt the industry, but there are enough buyers to keep it going and the quality of games are worse for it. The KSE of this could go to retail and make money, making two versions of the game is not cost effective for consumers but what do I know.
I made a simular video but organized a little differently. I wish I has watched yours first for the binder part. I ended up dumping both the card trays. so I could keep it all together. They make these final roll holders that fit on your door. they work great for most mats. and great for reducing sound for videos. Great video.
I have been playing the game and the tokens are mainly for the zone survival missions. They are more like one off missions and don't really add to campaign play, but are optional missions that don't offer you loot. The binder seems very unnecessary and should of come with some instructions. I will check out your video when I get the chance.
What happened to Lost Territories and Changing Weather expansions? Do we get 12 stalker figurines or only 4?
@@clammerifyit’s probably wave 2.
There are only 5 stalker figures but 12 character cards. Wave 2 will have a 3rd story campaign the stretch goal campaign, magnet die, 4 stalker characters, non-gam play stretch goals, duty and freedom factions pack, zone companions, personal stories part 2 and the art book. I could not find any thing about the changing weather. Playing the game there are some weather effects that are random encounters, but I am not sure if that is the changing weather expansion. Duty and freedom will add 8 stalker minis, but not sure how that is going to be intergraded into the main game. Its not much to go on but it was all I could find out for you.
@@clammerify lost territories is a part of core box, changing weather has been merged with event cards and stalker figures are universal for all stalkers (except monster Hunter)
My goodness, games are just getting bigger and bigger lol
This one isn't as big as some other games. It is heavy for its size, but over all you do get what you paid for.
That looks like quite the hefty game. Really like the episode boxes as well
I have been play testing it and so far I am liking it. I have also been playing earth under siege and I am not liking the game play. Stalker the game play makes sense. The episode system is good for keeping track of things and surprises. It not like how Death may die does it, I like this system better.
Oh, man, I miss that Phil Foglio artwork!
MTG
This game suck... So slow.... And bad mechanics....
I'm surprised to see so many favorable reviews for this game. For it's components, look and mechanics. Nothing about it is too different than some of the racing board games already out there. I've seen fan made board games with similar mechanics released years prior to this yet this gets so much praise despite lacking originality. I feel like most of the praise comes from it being a Brotherwise board game.
I don't know much about Brotherwise games. I have played my fair share of racing games and in general I do not find them fun. DK is knock off Mario Kart and the only thing that makes me like this is the heavy interaction with other players. Most racing games from my experience is you doing your own thing and then trying to block. The only other combat racing game I have played is Rem Racers and I don't like it compared to DK.
@@GenjiGamer I know, I also play most of the racing games and they doesnt have the gaming exp that is needed to be good, strategic and fun. But in 2025 there will be best racing game, and it will come from a South América publisher y play the prototype and its genius.
@@rolandobazan6909 what is the name of the game? I will be on the lookout for it.
Doesn’t look like it’s something for me, but glad others can enjoy it
I was hesitant about it but I am glad to have it. It's a definite try before you buy. Point salad games are overwhelming and obscurely complicated when you see them.
hey thats interesting, i was beliving that this was a dead franchise of games
I know that there's plans for another game that is giving me rising sun vibes.
hey, are you going to cover the spoiler season when it drops?
For the sunken city?
great video, you just got a subscriber from brazil friend
Thanks for subscribing. Let me know if there's anything you would like me to do for future videos.

Altered Carbon season 1 ( season 2 is pure shit .. ) ?
Fair, season 1 is okay. Season 2 is bad, I just grabbed a pic with neon lights over the characters face.
Thanks for posting and explaining how this new version relates to the original sinister six box. My understanding is that for sinister six mode i can use all 20 villian options i just need to substitute figures i don't have and handwrite down the original 6 weak spot cards from the original which you made super easy to see. Thanks.
You are welcome. I will be doing the rest of wave 3 expansions with close ups of the KSE.
Fingers crossed you get over the 500 subscribers!
Thank you

Your welcome
The game book, Darkness Over Arkham is basically a narrative version of War of the Outer Gods
I honestly forgot about that book. How does it work? I am busy testing out the RPG and it is taking longer than expected for the first campaign. It looks like a choose your adventure with some RPG elements.
@GenjiGamer it's pretty fun. There are three profiles to choose from printed in the book, plus an additional three on the Aconyte website and two more published in the Dark Horse comic. There are a couple of puzzles to solve, and skill checks are done with 1-2 d6 plus appropriate stat listed for the investigator. Other than that, it reads like a Choose Your Own Adventure book
Let's gooooooooooo 1M subs tomorrow :P
Good luck
Played this at Gen Con and it was a lot of fun
I am glad to hear that.
Digging the video and the vibes. Definitely subbing for more Arkham content! Keeping my fingers crossed for a mat lol Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the sub! I do have plans for a Night of the Zealot explained in the future
I need to check out some of these side scenarios, really enjoy the game.
Murder at the Excelsior Hotel Arkham Horror: The Card Game is the best for me. Most of the side scenarios don't give you anything that is worth the effort. Excelsior has a good amount of replayability. Epice multiplayer sets such as blob, labyrinth, war of outer gods and machinations of time are better if you have enough people for multiple teams. Hope that helps.
Might have to come back to this vid. Thanks for making it.
Thanks for watching
I’ll watch the second half in a couple of weeks. 😅
Thanks
I hope to try this game out too
It's better than I thought
The retail edition of Thunder Road is very similar to this by the sound of it tho you may have more track variation. Thunder Road is very good in that cars are constantly hitting each other cuz their movements ends into one another, unintentionally and intentionally, causing lots of chain reactions which can be unexpected and fun.
I wanted to play thunder road, but I have not had the chance to meet anyone local with a copy.
Lol you actually did the spaceballs bit
The Standees have a clear film. If you take it off both pieces then they go together easier. I accidentally broke two before I realized this. After I started removing the film I did not have any more issues. Also I used pliers to squeeze the dashboard connection piece together, and that saved my fingers and they are nice and snug now.
We picked this up at Gen Con. So far it is our favorite game of the Con.
I should have mentioned the film. That piece is off. According to Jason the snaps have to be facing a certain direction to be tight.
It is a lot better than it looks. I am pleased with it.
Thanks for the detailed unboxing! Do you know the size of the boss/market mat?
16 x 23 1/2
Thank you!
