Emerald Skulls Preview - It's OKAY To Pick Your Nose! on Rolling with the Beard
In the grimy depths of Kulbak Prison, where the greatest Dragul warriors are confined, inmates gather around Nargash the goblin and his bone-carved dice. Best to keep your wits about you. A game of Emerald Skulls is about to begin…
Emerald Skulls is a push-your-luck, dice gambling game. Attempt to fill the skull board with dice and place speedy, real-time wagers on the outcomes of your opponents’ rolls.
On your turn as the tumbler, roll dice and use tricks to place them on the five ascending tiers of the skull. But be warned - once you place dice, you can no longer put them on lower tiers for the rest of your turn!
During your opponents’ turns as tumbler, you are a gambler. Swiftly place bets and counter-bets on the results of the tumbler’s rolls. You may wager twice per round, but can only bet while the dice are in the tumbler’s hands. So think fast and bet smart - the quicker your wager, the bigger your payout!
When the pot of gears runs out, the player with the most claims the victory.

    I was on the fence with this game. It seemed like a cross between 1901 and Chinatown but i bit the bullet and bought it. After playing it, i see that wasn't too far off, but i absolutely love the game. If the scoring was a little more straight forward it would be a 10 but it takes some time to figure out scores in between eras. Also i thought it would be cool to paint the trees and water. After i did that, i started adding little details here and there. Finally i was pretty much committed and painted all the roofs and monuments. It's gorgeous. Also, the monuments are pretty much essential. I want a small card expansion with lots of crazy monument effects though. 9.5/10

      @@rollingwiththebeard I did red clay roofs for the monuments and player colors for the players buildings. I liked the idea of simulating the real city but the player colors are visually distinct and pleasing and ultimately, I wanted to make the game easier to play. I think using red clay on every roof would make everything blend together and make differentiating pieces more difficult. I'm happy with my decision but I would understand someone going the other way. But at the end of the day it's a game and I want to play it more so I opted to make the game easier to play.

    I really like the game. It’s a race and efficiency puzzle that gets better with repeated plays. My advice to new players is don’t tuck cards too soon. You want to have a nice selection of cards to work with and once you get enough for a Star, then start tucking the cards and race towards the end.

      My regular game group (non-family) ranks Scythe near the top (for some, it’s their favorite, though it is far from being mine-I think it’s good). We’ve played Scythe many many times as well as the entire campaign. So when one of my buddies picked this up for his birthday last October, expectations by some were very high. After three plays, he sold it. No one in the group thought it was bad, but no one really wanted to keep playing, especially the owner. For me personally, I didn’t think the mechanics matched the theme at all. There’s supposed to be this ‘dark threat’, but no one ever felt threatened. You spend resources to get rid of corruption. And the exploration is really not particularly exciting either. No one ever felt immersed in this world. I think we were expecting a tense game and the tension factor was a 2 out of 10….making, in my opinion, the theme seem completely misleading. In Scythe, there’s this feeling of engine building during a Cold War tension-while I have other qualms about Scythe, at least the mechanics match the theme. One player did say he liked this a little better than Scythe after the first game, but later retracted his statement. I stop short of saying this game has nothing to do with Scythe. Aside from artwork, there’s mechs l, movement, and somewhat limited action selection. But don’t expect a true sequel. If this is a sequel, it feels like the second movie of a trilogy, setting up the third for a big Kapow! But we found this one largely forgettable. For me, Scythe blows *this* out of the water. I give Expeditions 5.5/10. Whereas Scythe and Tapestry both get an 8/10 from me.

I really enjoy the engine building with the cards in Expeditions and how it can be different each time you play it. Yes, the "exploration" grows stale quickly but I wasn't expecting too much exploration. I could definitely see how someone could be bummed if they were wanting a theme rich exploration game. I wanted a pretty, nicely produced, card drafting engine builder and I feel thats what I got so I'm very happy with Expeditions. It has been awhile since I've played Scythe....I think you may have encouraged me to get a copy to the table again!

    Does the courier let you swap people from the safe haven?

      I don't believe so but its been awhile since I've played so I'll need to check the rules on that one. Have you played the original?

      @@rollingwiththebeard no but I bought the big box because you had such high praise for it. I'm going to teach it for the first time tonight and the rules say to use 8 cards and add the courier and caravan but I know people will ask if they can swap cubes into the safe haven but I don't see it addressed in the rules.

      @@rollingwiththebeard 5 players. It said to remove 8 rat tokens so I removed ones that had 6+ cube requirements. It's that a good idea or should it just be random? Not sure how quickly the spots will fill up. I read some people feel like the game can be uneventful if the plague isn't killing enough citizens.

      @@grog3514 I think we removed them randomly. I would suggest playing with the Academicum expansion. It dosnt add many more rules but adds the event cards and Universities giving players "objectives" on the board to "fight over".

    If you pause the video and zooming in closely, you can just barely make out that this guy has a long beard. I lie not… try to see if you can spot it.
