@@boardgamecourt thank you, we try… that’s all I can say we do is try.

I would suggest watching the 1995 film Hackers. I think they tackled this issue.

I just finished shooting a game where I played solo. I'm enjoying it, takes about 30.

@@susanmichele957 great meeples, unfortunately I do not own.

@@boardgamecourt thank you!

@@petermcpherson15 thanks for that inside information. With the concept of the game I think wood works for it. I don’t see tiny woodland creatures making metal coins.

35-44 49.7% 25-35 43.4% 45-54 6.8% (my age group) Maybe I am reading the room.

those are some pretty sweet coins.

Metal money is the best but also expensive.

Also favorite of your videos so far :)

I need change for $20 to pay $3. Do we have any fives? Alright, everyone make change. Roll for initiative.

What kind of candy?

I think they just need a hug or a nap or a sandwich.

The Avalon Hill version?

@@SortOfBoardGames Dune Imperium base game

@@pascalcharland1403 I know! It’s a perfectly fine game. What do they want?

They are just spoiled by complex looking heavy games and find a game with actual depth of strategy but not that complex bland​@@SortOfBoardGames

People seem to shy away from actually describing the NPE because fans on BGG might flame them for not enjoying the rules correctly or maybe the "broken" rules were already described in another review and they are just +1ing the issues.

Looked at more reviews and I could be wrong... maybe it's New Player(s)?

Weirdly I have taught Root to many people in only around 15 minutes and everyone enjoyed and played it just fine. Just requires knowing how to teach the game properly. Thinking that one must know every detail of every faction is the fallacy and pitfall.

The few times I play Root my main goal is to focus on my character. I always remember what a former chief photographer told me once. Know your equipment. Once you know that then you can “break the rules.” In board games know what you are doing then go after the other players. It does have a big learning curve because everyone is doing something completely different. So it may not be your jam. But would you give it a 1.

That’s how I feel about Ark Nova. I’ve seen people take almost TWO HOURS to explain the game. I’ve got it down to a cool 30 minutes teach what the have to know then after a round or two slip in info that is popping up. The first couple rounds are feeling the game out any ways. Use them to teach strategy and end game.

We are sending a panel van to rescue you from the person making you play Root.

@@bazzatron9482 but with BGG a 7 is fine and 6 is meh. 8 is hell yeah, 5 is nah. 9 is WHY ARE YOU NOT SETTING IT UP NOW, 4 is I hate you Todd, you always bring that game. 10 is WHY IS THIS GAME NOT ALWAYS READY TO PLAY!!! DO YOU HATE FUN LARRY!!!! 3 is let’s set the house on fire and purge the world of this existsnce. 2 and 1 are just for mean people to throw shade.

@@SortOfBoardGames I prefer a linear scale. Plenty of the games I design are a 1 or 2, they never get off the ground. Snakes and Ladders is a 1, the players aren't even required. CAH is also a 1, but this is absolutely out of spite - terrible game that sets the expectation for "board gaming" to non board gamers, I would delete it if possible. Monopoly is probably a 3, the game works but the net outcome is that all but one player has a terrible time (which was the initial design intent before it was perverted for profit). 5 is probably games like Pandemic or Forbidden Island - the game works, everyone can have some enjoyment, but all the complexity is offloaded to RNG; great for introducing new players or kids but the novelty will wear off. 7 we're in the realms of deeper games with high skill ceilings and depth that allows both casual play naturally leading into high level play - the modern classics like Catan and the (at least pre-meeplegate) Carcassonne. 9 is for games that are masterclasses in their field, maybe Terraforming Mars - but really anything that bumps stuff from a 7 to a 9 is personal preference. I'm sure some would put Gloomhaven or Mansions of Madness here - but they're too much death by tokens for me. I love the SFG Resident Evil games but some percentage of this is my fanaticism for Sherwin Matthews and the IP. 10 is simply unattainable. It is aspirational. No game will ever achieve a perfect score because it's just not possible to make a game that everyone will love forever, board game designing is not an NP complete field 🤣 That's my take anything. 1 being crap/unplayable, 5 being mediocre/a perfect midpoint, 10 being the appearance of the board game Messiah.

@@OverclockedWorkshop thanks Jason, you the man.

@@Isabellashere of course, can’t take them off the box.

I’m trying, it’s just a lot and then with learning solo it’s got a curve. Hoping to get it to the table with my group and maybe that will clear things up.

This is what happens when I let the 12 year old do the rankings.

What?!?!?!? That ruins almost all my score. Stupid Jeremy!

Thank you but I just sort of know stuff.

We played Great Wall and... it was almost a game. Gambit Royal was close to making it but a game of Tapestry ran long.

I think you… invaded it? (CSI Sunglasses gif)

Where ever I go, the people go.

Thanks, I had a blast and played with some cool new people.

Thank you, wanted stupid and chaotic to give people a larf.

@@SortOfBoardGames you achieved exactly that :D

After hearing a few designers talk about these 1 stars reviews and listening to How Did This Get Made podcast I got the idea. The Mansions of Madness one is going to be crazy.

No I do not but now I do! I need to do some research.

@@SortOfBoardGames If you find the game please drop I comment. I will also do. :)

I found the game.. it was a kickstarter project, but maybe it is not out.. As I see on the page the shipping is delayed, but wil be out soon. The name of the game is "RONE: Invasion"

I may give Waterboarding: The Board Game 1 Star

So many whales, maybe I can open a whale sanctuary.
