The Hungry Gamer's White Castle: Matcha Mini Review
The ammo system really sparked my interest for this one too. Can’t wait to see the total picture in the Kickstarter campaign!
2nd :(
damn. 3rd
I have a copy of this and was waiting on your Review of it. Not looking forward to the standees as you mentioned, but am now looking forward to the gameplay!
just grab some other standees and you will be happy
Thanks this was helpful
hooray!
I'd be happy with Shadows of Brimstone sci fi, I'm hyped for this.
Surprised they haven't done that yet tbh
already following this one, I love sci-fi and the combat system seems really intriguing. I simply hope i don't get priced out of this and hope that there is just a standee edition that I can get.
I'm very confident there is a standee edition.
I'm following this one as well. Pretty sure I remember reading that there will be both a miniature or standee version to pick from.
Hi from Forgeborne Games. I can confirm we will have a standee pledge level (comes with the starting 4 drift hunter miniatures also).
@@JeffreyYeung that sounds like a perfect combo!
@@JeffreyYeung im so happy!
I'm absolutely looking at this one. The standee edition is honestly a big draw.
My perfect world would be hero minis, acrylic standees for everything else. or at the worst acrylic standees for all
New to me… will check it out in more detail. Thanks!
awesome
first
beat me again
Too few scenario, it would need more story and a long campaign and then it would be worth the price. What a mistake, everything else works vero well.
i can see that critique. I actually found the sandbox to be the more interesting gameplay so that did not bother me a ton.
I really appreciate this review. I was very much looking forward to this game, it was probably my most anticipated game in all of my Kickstarters. It did not disappoint, it is a fantastic game that gives something a bit different than a lot of the other DCs out there. One of the semi-negatives you pointed out was the game being harder on smaller player counts, but I think that is actually part of what makes it shine too. There are a lot of ways to ramp up or down the difficulty level and figuring out how to complete certain missions with only 2 characters is pretty fun. And the fact that playing with more characters with more skills actually helps in certain missions make the missions feel a bit more real and not just another rehash of some previous mission. It kind of forces you to think more about who and what you are brining on those missions.
The character selection is such an important part of this game. Its super clever
Yesterday, I’m sitting around waiting on my Oathsworn group to show up for our session. I’m watching various Oathsworn videos, and ended up watching this one. We had just recently played the chapter you touched on, but chose a different option with a distinctly different outcome. I’m confident that THIS TIME, with this group, I’ll actually get through the entire story. I do think this is a fantastic game.
I believe!!!! Don't let go of the wire!
Great video! I am subscribing based off this amazing video!
@@ralphco0 well thank you very much!!!
Would love to see an updated teach with the final printing!
@@matthewmelissamakak2615 maybe some day!
Tang inamo
Huh?
Can the box fit in a kallax, if you put it in sideways?
it would stick out
eat it
nom nom
@@HungryGamerReviews Sorry to bother you while you're digesting, but how tasty did it compare to Reichbusters?😅
@@geekyteacher9296 Cant speak to it. I never played Reichbusters.
Well, you should give it a try. Some hate it (it's not perfect, way too many tokens and all...) but most love it, and I'm one of them. Quite comparable to Earth Under Siege, but with a shorter name !
Hey wassup im new to the channel can you recommend me some games that have table presence and good looking components? Thanks in advance
Welcome...that's a broad list But the last ones I played that are great looking An age contrived Conquest Princess Tales from the Red dragon inn Andromeda's Edge
Arydia Isofarian Guard Elder Scrolls Betrayal of the second era Oathsworn
Chronicles of Drunagor or Descent Legend of The Dark
Definitely watching this for the reprint and expansion campaign. Especially if the one off option works well (plus the boss battles coming).
i think it is hitting crowdfunding in like 2 weeks or so
first
argh beat me again
I was so hyped about this one... What scares me that it is not in any top 2024 lists (except Mike onestop). What makes me wonder if it is just a mediocre game? We've seen so many good campaigns last few years: fateforge, tales dragon inn, agemonoia, primal, tamashii, unsettled, oathsworn, keep the heroes out bos, conquest princess... I suppose it cannot compete with these beasts?
Nah it's a good game. I think it just had a slow delivery (I could be wrong there, but I think it was delayed), and it just arrived with little fan fare. Combine that with competing with a lot of other crawlers this year that are huge and it is an underappreciated title. If I had done a top 10 it probably would have made it.
I saw this at Gen Con 2023 as well, and immediately back to the Kickstarter. I ended up getting it this past June, and it’s such an amazing game. The cost is a little higher than I had hoped, but I truly don’t know why it’s not on more people’s top tens. It’s just an amazing game that didn’t seem to get much press. Did you ever end up getting a retail copy and did you enjoy it in 2024 as much as you thought you would?
They did not send me one, and I didn't back it as I thought they were. So never got to try the retail
I hope you enjoyed playing the solo mode that I designed. What did you think of it? I would love to get your play session results and feedback. :)
I thought it was pretty darned good...I thought I had it in the bag most of the game, then lost pretty bad at the end. Have you tried this as a 3rd player in a 2 player game?
@@HungryGamerReviews I couldn't quite make out the final scores but I'm glad Seishin gave you challenge! I designed Seishin to be a robust independent automa, so you can use Seishin as a 3rd player bot if you setup for 3 players. Also, you can print-and-play multiple solo mode decks if you want to play against multiple bots! :D
If you think putting a cute dog in the teaser will make me click on the video...oh wait lol. Seriously, this is a great game. My plays have generally been over one hour but I play with extra-thinky players. All my plays have been fun though. Thanks for this excellent review.
Can't review an Office Dog game without the Board Game Dog! I can see a little AP hitting people on occasion
For all it's worth, I believe that Mr Cuddington did the cover for Brass Birmingham.
i feel like i should probably play brass...mr cuddington aside!
deciding this or elder scrolls botse?
what is botse?
@HungryGamerReviews betrayal of the second era
@HungryGamerReviews but I last night bought dragons down and backed the KS for the two expansions..... Expensive game lol. But based on most vids I've seen dragons down is great, the expansions should make it even better.
@@Cerealkiller824 oh of course! Well, glad I helped you decide!
Yeah thanks, like that you said you can get to points where feel overpowered and just smashed through enemies. As a solo player I've played too many games where you see so underpowered and it's a survival game. So that helped ease me into it. @@HungryGamerReviews
Like a child seeing their present at Christmas. ☺ I've not opened up my copy yet. Also All In I think. I've been super busy with other stuff. I've got like 2 other things I am focused on at the same time which can't be done at the same time. This is now the third... and on top of that I have a heap of reshelving to do with putting away all my boardgames that are literally dominating my floor space for a time. Busy busy. Will help once I get some space to actually open the box up. 15:10 aw that's disappointing. There's no way that is enough space to have them all sleeved. 20:04 "Hey, her head don't come off", The Fireys. Labyrinth (1986). They don't make films like this any more.
So, you like a game in which you sail around buying and selling goods while acquiring land and buildings. I’m sensing a theme with your likes.
Respect your Aelderman!!
It's a really fun and smooth game! I totally want an expansion too!
Hopefully it does well enough to warrant one!
first
Beat me again
Thanks for the review, can you compare to Pulsar 2849? (Kind of a longshot). Thanks, Chris EDIT: (I know they are quite different, but both are relatively small (single) box, complex, and not screaming on the market, I also collected seriously "Dreadfleet".... It still looks like a fun play.)
I have played Pulsar a couple of times, and it's just not really comparable. You have a euro game, and an adventure crisis management game (with some worker placement, but its for actions not for resources for the most part) It would be like comparing Kingdom Death to Guild Master
Man, those maps are great. I would have bought this just for the maps if they were not in HEX. Incompatible with everything else I have. Looking at Fateforge. But this has a far superior app/website.
Now that you told me that it is AI art, this game is out... Also, you reminded me about how much luck is involved in this game because of the high amount of dice rolling.
Glad I was able to help
pricey af
I had not looked at the new campaign! Is it high end of hobby games or is it even higher?
@HungryGamerReviews 360$ for a game without minis...
Maybe the blue box is the best... congrats to all contenders - they are all good when you're hungry for gaming!
Beatrice is a huge fan of you and your game!!! That means you win at life!
I still love you, Beatrice.
she would expect no less from you!!
The real winner was Beatrice.
You win by being her loyal servant
Welcome to the Edge! Maybe Luke and Maximus can make a Hungry Gamer faction. Ability 1) Beatrice Goes Fetch: When you launch a ship, you can spend one energy to send Beatrice out to get another resource. Ability 2 ) Building Community: After a battle you may choose to go up the Civilization track instead of Supremacy.
Cardboard Alchemy should make this happen
Woohoo! Beatrice got it right!! ❤
She's pretty much the best puppy
Wooo tied for last! Which statistically is just as impressive as getting first. Definitely. 😭
most impressive
Aw man! I didn’t win!
@@DonGilstrap try harder next time!
Dice can always be punishing, yo. Nothing new there....
You would be surprised how often that is the feedback I hear most from people. "I would like this game but the dice are too punishing" And in this game I think they are particularly punishing
@@HungryGamerReviewsinteresting because there’s a lot of mitigation (through strategies like sneaking). I didn’t feel like the dice were particularly brutal in this game unless I took risks and I’m a notoriously bad roller. Final girl though…. Yeesh. That’s probably the game I’d give the award of most punishing dice to.
Ugh... I had my pledge in on the game, came around to check your review for good measure and was pumped with every beat of this review... until the AI boot dropped. Not a twist I was thrilled to be hit with. It's funny because I didn't love the art and look of things but I would have been fine to set that aside. Not with AI though. Thank you for mentioning that. I have other games that will scratch the itch. I feel like Hexploreit can probably just continue to be my sandboxy RPG romp.
I'm glad I was able to help you make an informed decision! One day I'll play hexploreit
Yes, I also had no idea that it has AI art. I was thinking of backing the game, but not: 1) With the AI art; and 2) With how much of a dice-rolling luck-fest the game seems to be.
@@JJ_TheGreat this is why I do these videos! Nothing worse than spending a bunch of money for a game and learning something that you would hate about it!
I feel like you missed the opportunity to title this video, "3 shills game of 2024". One of the most fun videos I've seen in a while. Thanks guys
Thanks for watching and enjoying. But ymto be clear. Mark and Mike are the only shills. I'm clearly noble
@HungryGamerReviews Fair enough lol
Two hours of degenerate nonsense. I love it! 🤣
i feel seen
Great unboxing video, thanks for sharing the experience. I wonder what is the playmat you have there?
Thanks. It is from game toppers. I believe it is called adventure or soemthing like that. It looks like a big piece of parchment with bits of map drawn on it. Love it
@@HungryGamerReviews Wicked, thanks 👍
@@HungryGamerReviewsThank you! I see I will need a new mat. I am diving in now.
@@markdandridge4433 Gametoppers has some awesome mats.
