Children of Morta: The Board Game | A Review!
That’s a fun one!
Yes!!
So fun! ❤
I loved the how to play - the game looks like alot of fun!!
Thanks for watching!
These previews are awesome!! You guys are so funny! I love your outtakes!!!!
Thank you!! 😁
I love the artwork and the game! Looks like so much fun!! Thanks so much for this tutorial. :)
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching!
What an awesome tutorial Sean!! Can't wait to play it ;) Thank you so much.
Thanks for watching! 😊
With my fun funds budget, I never have a problem choosing the next game to get. I just pick the first one that looks cool without doing any research at all
Good one!! 😆
Great video. Really makes me want to try this game
Thanks for the visit! 🙂
Thank you for this! Here in Canada they run over $80 so this was very helpful in deciding if it was worth it for our family. It is cool that there is an alternative to cheap chocolate that we won't eat anyway.
Glad it was helpful! We’re in Canada too. You should be able to find them for $50. Our local FLGS has them for $49 and boardgamebliss for $51.😊 We’re looking forward to the new one this year. Thanks for watching!
These look really nice... Love the art style! Thanks for showing these off. Backed!
Thanks so much!!
Great overview of all the games! I don't have a lot of "science" themed games, but I do have a lot of "nature" themed games, which is kind of theme adjacent. My favorites are Cascadia, Meadow, and Wingspan!
Thanks so much! We love those games as well. I’m passionate about nature themed games. 🍃
Do you have a favorite science themed game?
I just found this review (I looked at StoryFold which a reviewer referenced this game). I am totally amazed at the plastic under the cardboard and compact component style box game ... reminds me as a lower level of Foundations of Rome in how the game itself is on trays within a box. Questions: I'd likely play solo... is solo going to be missing out on things because of the asymmetric aspect. AND ... I need to keep complexity level down and typically I'd look at the complexity rating for this and try to only look at games that are 2.5 or less ... this game is 2.84 AND table presence ... will it fit and be playable on a 36" square card table? ... AND finally ... if I get this game, should I get the first edition? It seems like BGG shopping has people selling the first edition and listing two of the expansions - which means they were included in the game itself? I see a 2nd edition scheduled for 2025 too. Sorry for so many questions :)
I’m crazy excited for Storyfold as well! We were in line for a review copy, but it hasn’t arrived yet. Solo Mythwind: You definitely wouldn’t be missing out on anything. The asymmetrical characters don’t interact in any way (although their upcoming friends expansion changes that). Complexity: I think you’d be totally fine for that. It’s not more complex than Vanguard or Rogue Angels really. Size: it’s actually fairly compact, with simple a player tray and then the main board, which is small. Editions: I don’t believe they have a second edition out yet. That’ll be coming with the fulfillment of the upcoming campaign next year. The expansion material that was offered with the first campaign were card packs to expand the storyline I believe. Best to check on the old Kickstarter campaign to be sure though! Hope that helps! 😊
Wish they used real constellations. Was wanting to get this to help teach them to my kids.
That would have been really awesome, I agree. As a homeschooling family, we love an educational game! 😊
I'm intrigued. Thanks for the tutorial. Also, where did you get the Dice Tray?
Our pleasure! 😊 They’re from the Mercurial campaign. A set of four. We use them all the time, they’re awesome.
This DOES look like a gem!
It is really satisfying to play. 😊 Sent a sub to your new channel. Best of luck!
@ oh. Thank you so much!!😊
Great review!
Thanks!
I received my copy of this one the other day but have yet to play it. Hopefully your video will inspire my husband and I to get it to the table soon! Thanks.
Oh awesome!! I hope you both really enjoy it! 😁
That was a really great review. I love the pieces and the cards - somehow I kept missing the shiny card thing!! But that would be very cool to have holographic cards ! I would love this game. I wonder if it would be too slow with more than 2 players? what do you think? Thank you so much folks - you are the best!!
We can absolutely play it together!! 😁
Wow this game has a lot within it, really neat concepts. I love when the cards are shiny too LOL Thanks for sharing another game GEM ;)
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching! 😊
Seems like a game with a lot of depth.. I recently got a copy and really waiting to give it a try
Let me know what you think of it! Thanks for dropping by friend! 😊👋
Perfect timing for this themed game! That board though right away makes me think of Settlers of Catan! I love how they incorporated the cube roller with the box so cool!
That was our first thought too (the board reminding us of Catan). 😁 The tree is definitely the coolest! Thanks for watching!
Great review, also love those bloopers at the end - it shows there is more work while filming.
Thanks so much!! 😁
Tip 6 You will have characters die... Sometimes the game will tell you that the situation/mission is dire and risk of death is high, or an exploration may go way wrong/ Do not be afraid of death (you get benefits when someone dies and you add them to your Memorial Wall) However sometimes a particular character fits you die pool or play style well and you want to keep them alive if a character has two wounds think about evacuation or leaving the planet - the risk of of death with three wounds is high. Remember crew can assist injured characters heal. Also on some planets, where injury is an issue, abilities to mitigate wounds can be critical and make the difference between success and evacuation or death. You will have characters die, add them to your memorial wall, get the benefits and celebrate their glorious demise.
Great addition!! Very true.
Thanks so much for your time with Harrow County! I love your reviews!! I love that 10-20% is spent on a high level overview - and the rest is on your opinion of the game! That's great! That's what I want to see in a review video. Thanks for a stellar review!!
You are so welcome!! It’s always a pleasure working on your games. 😁
That seems to be a fascinating game. Can't wait to play it!! Love your video guys - thank you so much
Thanks for watching! 🤗
This is how every playthrough should be on UA-cam, the editing was top-notch and made it really easy to follow everything that was going on.
Thank you so much!! 😊
How would it be posible to buy this boardgame for someone who lives in Europe? I live in in Austria and this game looks fun
You can pledge on Kickstarter! They likely having shipping options within Europe. www.kickstarter.com/projects/weathervanegames/vrahode-age-of-prophecy
Thank you for the full playthrough of this one! I enjoy seeing the games played so I can see how they work.
I’m glad you enjoyed it!! I agree it can be much easier to get a better grasp of how a game plays when you can watch it in action!
LOLOL Pixel is definitely getting to be a mascot!! lol Awesome review guys
Thanks for watching! 😊
That looks so beautiful! I absolutely love the art work and I will have to rewatch the base game too. Thank you for this awesome review. 😻 You are both so much fun.
Thank you! 😊
one of the comments by another reviewer was that it may be too long. Did you feel that in your 2p play?
Oh definitely not. It was just the right length of time; it spent overstay It’s welcome at all. And the time flew by!
Thank you for posting this. I appreciate it!
Our pleasure!! And thank you for taking the time to express that. It’s really appreciated! 🤗
Thank you for including a link to your review of the base game. I am not sure that I have ever heard of Fabled. I am off to check it out!
Oooh, let me know what you think! It’s a little different; we really enjoy it.
Have you tried Fabled yet?
Yes we have, it's a fun little game, deeper than it looks.
@@Flip5ideyes! It really is!
This was the first rulebook that I really really enjoyed learning… it’s long but it’s a journey… I just bought this game for 15€… 😮omg… what a game …
Great price!! We really loved this one. We’ve been so busy though, we haven’t gotten it to the table in quite awhile.
@@inspired2game I just finished my first game… omg… no I didn’t win… no I still don’t know everything I can do in the game…. But I am in love… what a beautiful game! I can’t believe I didn’t know this one…. Now I understand why you like it so much !
@@MrHMCCI’m so glad you enjoyed it!! I’m inspired to try to get it to the table again sometime soon!
@@inspired2game I am very happy for that!! It was you that inspired me to buy it on the first place! Enjoy it! :)
@@MrHMCCthank you! 😊
I have heard that some combat situations are quite tedious and repetitive, with some situations whereby a character will pass on combat or choose not to attack, and separately, magic is not well represented. It is really competing with Lands of Evershade from Awaken Realms coming up later this year.
You’re correct on passing on combat. On your turn, you can either activate a skill OR attack. It means in order to activate some skills, you need to pass on some attack rounds. It can be worth it - for instance one skill I had was to add +2 mitigation when I’m attacked. Our initial life is low enough, that the extra mitigation can be extremely helpful. Another of my skills was to add +2 attack to one of my weapons. This was also well worth activating usually. My third starting skill was a heal action, which occasionally I needed to use instead of attacking, to help a fellow player. Combat seems pretty standard to me, compared to any RPG’s I’ve played. Many monsters do have a ton of life, for sure, and it can take some time to take them out. We haven’t played through all the characters and mine didn’t start with magic. One that Sean played had a nice spell that he was able to use on occasion. I can’t speak to the whole game though, especially as you gain additional spells/skills and items as the game progresses. Ultimately
Thank you very much for the great review, that sparked my interest. In my youth i spent a lot of time playing the pen and paper rpg "The Dark Eye", which is as popular here in Germany as d&d is elsewhere.They also use the same D20 logic with 1 being a critical hit/success so i'm used to it :D How is the story compared to gloomhaven , in terms of volume? Greetings go out to canada to you two sympathetic board game geeks :)
We’ve only worked our way through half of Gloomhaven thus far. I suspect that Vrahode is heavier in storyline, throughout the series, as it’s a huge element of the game. But - I don’t believe (or haven’t experienced) it bifurcating like Gloomhaven does; where you can choose different pathways. So far this seems to follow one set story that you play out as you go. But, we’ve only experienced the first 8 scenarios. Thank you for watching! 😊
Great overview!
Thank you so much!
Another awesome video. I think this looks like so much fun. Thank you so much for this review. 😍🥰
Thanks for watching! 😊
As much as I would love to play a Lacerda game, the weight just kills them for me. I might play one, but my husband definitely would not. Thanks for the preview!
Thanks for watching! 😊
great video, thank you for that. Good explanation of the game and its core gameplay. Well done!
Thank you so much!! 😊
Do you have a favorite Lacerda game?
Vinhos
Thanks for previewing this game! It wasn’t even in my radar. It looks like a game that I need to get. Keep up the good work. You guys are the best!
@@ichiban5thanks so much!! 😊
@@ichiban5oooh I love Vinhos too! 🍷

My inner scientist in me wants this game! I agree is looks stunning too!
Right?? 😁
id prob be more into this one if i hadnt just backed Apthobakery on kickstarter where you make potions too lol
Oooh, I SO wanted to back Apothebakery (and at the level with the acrylic tokens because they’re so awesome!!). Just couldn’t swing the funds though.
@@inspired2game yea i got it at the deluxe im also doing moon bunny mostly just to get the steam up deluxe edition LOL but at the same time i was intrested in moon bunny ever sense i saw the cover :)
@@Jueglarsweet. Yes, Moon Bunny looks adorable too. Steam Up is great, particularly with the squishy dim sums. 😊
You really captured the essence of Chemical Overload in your review! Great video; I enjoyed it and subscribed to your channel.

What’s your favorite deck building game?
Fantastiqa. I do not hear much about it these days, which is sad.
@@bookaddict777I’ve never heard of that one before!
rite now my current fave would haft to be Sorcerer City its a deck building tile laying game really good.
@@Jueglarthat’s a new one to me too! I’ll have to look into it. I really enjoy tile laying games. 😊
@@inspired2game ITS FANTASTIC i got lucky it was rite as the 2 companys who made it were breaking up so i got it on clearance for 15.00 its a 50.00 game but my word its fantastic you haft to use bends and shapes to get points and buy more tiles which you shuffle into ur deck along with new monsters every round that can be a positive or negative to ur deck tile laying feild love it and the put away is sorterd perfect with a plastic inlay so never haft to worry about finding ur stuf fas its all presorted each time you put it away :) def look into it you will not regret one bit.
The potion bottles are beautiful. It sounds like such a fun game! Thanks so much for this awesome review! 😍
Thanks for watching! 🤗
