Keep all the games

Thank you, I just bought this and I’m going to be teaching it to a group of friends next week! This video is going to help a lot :)

Hell yeah

I’d make broad pro/con list of playability/replayability, number of players/number of friends or how often they come around etc… and assign a number to each one in a hierarchy of importance according to what you prefer to rank higher. Once that list is made it should be much easier to grade which ones you want versus which you can part with. You can also try the Shut Up and Sit Down method of being a library for friends, loaning board games for other people’s enjoyment telling them to pass it on to someone who may also find joy in it, if they ever fall out of love with the game you gave.

Have you ever wanted to manipulate your friends and family to the point that they want to but arent allowed to? Introducing hegemony, the game where manipulation and lying to your teammates isnt just a gameplay mechanic, its a core feature!

We all know it's worth more in an unopened box. So playing it would lose you money. Dont play!

As a certified gamer who hasnt played that game yet, i can safely say that this game is about a hegemony.

Only you know if you should keep or cull.

What did you buy?

You don't.

I scored 56.

On longest road ail, you don’t count branches. You over scored them. I’d have to go back and look, but she may have beat you.

Always great to play Grandpa Beck's games, will try the Bears and the Bees, keep it up

funnily enough - the 'look' of the thumbnail, of an attractive latina - worked and I clicked on this video

subscribed after this video - refreshing non-ultra-edited style

I backed the deluxe edition a couple a days ago.

Can't wait for the new version coming 12th september to gamefound by Awaken Realms and Ravensburger 🤩

Vagebond hard to win with? That's one way to immediately discredit any opinion following thereafter. It is by far the highest winrate faction (there's a spreadsheet out there with all winrates). Also the suggestion that "there should be one more faction like them" is complete idiocy. The Vagabond only works in a four player setting because they can seriously help a single faction get rolling. Without at least two other players to balance out the Vagebond messing with the power distribution this would never work.

I think Cube format would be the best to replicate a board game. However creating a cube is definitely not easy for a beginner.

The way she looks at him is with so much love, it's very heart warming. Love your channel. And I really appreciate the authenticity. Please keep up the solid work on the super approachable content 😊😊😊

Yeah... it's quite unbelievable how it saved a game no one even knew needed saving since it was in the top 40 games of all time. Thank goodness they saved it in the nick of time.

"cat in the box has more strategy."... "If you want more meat, pick Skull King". I'm not sure what meat means now. Anyways I like strategy so I'm happy that I already own and love Cat in the box

Have fun

The band aren't cats, they are weasels. The lizard hireligns are WAY TOO OP. We banned them from our games. The bear is VERRY good. You can cause MUCH damage with him.

You should watch tolarian community college!

White - protection, black - utilitarian, blue - stop everyone else, green - all about creatures, red - damage everything The combo of colors all have their own flavors too. Some decks really interact with others but some feel the same every time. A lot of concepts transfer from deck to deck. The curve is more about the colors I'd say. Some decks are totally overpowered but not usually when they're decks you can purchase outright. The official commander decks arent high power (which is determined by which turn you can win at)

Found this while trying to figure out how to teach my friends Magic. Super helpful to get your perspective since my friends are much less experienced than you two with gaming

Skull King's good, but Cat In The Box is better. It isn't exactly the gameplay that let's SK down, but that scoring is a real pain in the neck. Having said that, I still do enjoy SK, and play it regularly. But if given the option, I definitely would reach for Cat... first. Mind you, there's also The Bottle Imp...

There are broken decks and good match ups, but one of the things I like about commander is the fact that in your 100 card pile , if it is built well, it should be progressing it's game plan while also allocating a certain amount of cards in the pile to interaction (cards dedicated to stopping other peoples plans, protecting your own). If your deck is a precon, then it will usually be balanced against other precons. So that's a good place to start. I highly recommend getting a precon each and playing them against each other until you know what you want to do to win. Watch the professors videos on learning magic the gathering! He's the best. His channel is called tolarian community college! His videos will teach you all you need to know to understand what's going on and play magic in a fulfilling way

This was a great video, and we ABSOLUTELY get slumps. Sometimes life also just gets in the way. This was super relatable, and thanks for making this video!

Magic the Gathering’s card pool is way too vast for anybody new to get into the game. The sheer amount of cards you need to research is insane. Try a TCG with a smaller card pool like final fantasy, dragon ball, one piece, or card fight vanguard.

lol same tho

My top 5: 1. Dune: Imperium w/ expansions 2. Spirit Island 3. Cthulhu: Death May Die 4. Unmatched 5. Ra Which Everdell expansion do y’all like the most?

Your experience and explanation is confusing And I know the game

Ah… spirit island ❤

That's a cool account to hear about entering the TCG world! The competitive sides of these games has some pros and cons. I'd say the pros are that your experience is much more streamlined than Commander. Constructed formats are 1v1 and decks have strict gameplans they want to exert (but they're also kind of expensive and will be wildly different in effectiveness depending on the decks they're played against) while Commander really puts all the wild stuff in and games just take forever. I'm playing a different TCG atm that also lets you choose a character you like in 1v1 and you will play games up to an hour with a character you're very familiar with that has a certain unique style of playing thanks to their special cards. It's really like a dance with other people and their characters and it can sometimes be exhausting but also very fun. These games draw you in quite deeply and sometimes you can afford to enjoy much time with them but sometimes it's a lot with how extensive they are.

loved hearing these mtg first impressions! Been playing for 10yrs, hard to remember what it was like to first approach the game.

Bored Games?

Congrats on getting out of the slump! Illiterati was a great pick! I feel like we're in a Game Night slump; we haven't hosted one yet this year.

18:20 this is highly unusual and probably only because everybody at the table was fairly inexperienced - your average game of Magic: the Gathering Commander should only last around 1-1.5 hours, any longer is considered unusually long. Moreover, Commander is rarely played tournament-style. Yes it is the most popular format but it’s only played casually - you could go to a game store on their commander night, play one game, and leave if you’d like

I’ve been feeling like that lately. Go figure, did they put something in the water🤔 I want to go buy board games with you guys.

I recently taught a child to play magic with packmasters. What’s everyone’s opinion on that?

There are lots of comments already, so I assume most things have been covered. One thing to know is that the most fun part of the game is creating your own decks. Since you are familiar with Baldur's Gate, there is a Magic set that you can buy on Amazon of just cards, rather than pre-constructed decks. The cards in that set are easy to understand and likely even easier for you due to your familiarity with the theme. When you're ready to start building your own decks (see Tolarian Community College and/or Command Zone on UA-cam for tips), this would be a great set for you to start with. Stick with it! The game is so much fun, and ever-evolving, so each game is a unique experience.

We love skull king. Surprisingly carter is very good at that game.

As a long time MTG player, hearing you seem to like your first experience despite being thrown in the deep end makes me happy! "It was a good three hours." Made me smile. To answer your question, MTG is so old and so wide, that there's always a "busted" deck, and there's always ways to make a deck better or worse, but the fun way to play I think is when you play decks of similar "power" against each other. Hope you keep trying and learning! Definitely just go with whatever themes appeal to you and don't worry about how strong a deck is.
