Yeah, Root is no easy learn, but the rulebook at least was very clear and precise with which terms mean what. When I tried to read Oath, even as someone who's read a LOT of rulebooks (and believe you me, I've learned games solely from reading Fantasy Flight games in the past), I felt like I was just reading nonsense words the whole time with no idea of how they related to a game. 🥲

Thanks, Ken! Hope you're doing great as well. :)

For sure! I'd guess that's something that's in the works. :)

Sounds about right to me and 38 is a great score! Definitely a challenging one. :)

Awesome, glad it was helpful! Happy gaming! :)

Yeah, absolutely!!! Very much still a fave of mine. ^^

😁🐰

Yeah, def! One of my all-time fave 2-player games. ^^

Fingers crossed for ya! 😊

Yeah, I have a bad pokerface, especially when it comes to games that miss the mark for me, but glad to hear it's helpful! Hope you get to try Awaken the Ancients soon! 😁

Very fair! I can't really speak to the replayability of other maps/characters since the demo files I got only have one location and one character, but I would say there's quite a bit of replayability just based on the variety/order of card distribution in each playthrough. This does also mean that there can be quite a bit of swingyness/luck with each playthrough, but it's a really quick play as far as dungeon crawlers go, so I guess it'd be based on personal preference! Hope this helps ^^

Thanks for the clarification! And for folks who may be worried about the rule book fidelity-- I was working with the first-draft prototype rules, so I believe they should be more clear for the final version. :)

Very fair-- sounds like we have a similar approach! 🤗

🙆🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️🙆🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️

That's about the size of the table I use gor streaming! It's a little tight, but you should be good! 😊

Thank you! ​@@tabletoptokki

Very much agree!!! Clearly a lot of thought & care went into the box/insert-- really sets the bar! 😊

Ahaha, very fair! Definitely a lot of adorableness in these little boxes. 😁

Eyyy, awesome to hear about Concordia! And yeah, roll & writes, esp some of the cool ones on the PnP scene, are really dope. Hope you'll get to try Sunshine Farmer sometime soon! ^^

Omg you're probably right. Give me ALL the negative points! 😂😂😂 But glad to hear & hope you enjoy it as much as I have been!!! Feel free to check back in when you get a copy & let me know how your first play goes! ^^

Wood, actually! 😊 And yeah, for sure! Have you also played Hardback by chance?? ^^

@ Wood? Now that is pretty cool. Definitely better than cardboard. And no I didn’t know about Hardback. I pulled up a quick video on it, and that’s going right on the Christmas wish list. Appreciate the tip!

Yeahhh, I always tell people Paperback is a word game with deckbuilding, but Hardback is a deckbuilding game about words. e.g. I played Hardback in German once against a native speaker and won to prove a point that the game is more about deck synergy than having a big vocabulary. 😂

@ Sweet. Looking forward to it. 👍

🐇🐰🐇🐰

Ahhh, that's awesome to hear! Hoping to try them all out today~~~ :D

@ would love to see a play through and your thoughts after playing them! :)

Will def give my thoughts in the next Monthly Plays vid! ^^

Great question-- I don't! :)

Helllllllllll yeah! haha I wonder if BGA has the updated art or will update it... 🤔

Ahhhh, I have to get my own copy and try it then for sure!!! 🌷

Ikr? I'm basically just a straight up fraud. 😔 I've only played the co-op for Orleans. A bit dry, but solid as far as bag builders go. If you can snag a bundle for a deal, I'd say go for it unless you have an abundance of bag builders. And yeah. guess so! haha 😅 Oct was a crazy month~~~

@ Fraud. Lol. I’m always in awe of how many plays you get in. Ok. Soooo. Orleans or Concordia. Or neither.

@@StKnightis64 Ooooh, I do love Concordia, although it fills less of a nieche mechanically than Orleans does. So, I guess it depends on how high of a priority that is for ya. :x

@ Love? Phew. That’s a strong emotion. Hmmm. Now you’re making it tough. Let’s see. I love beer and wings. 🤤 Mechanically, I really enjoy. Umm. The way a clock works. Yeah. A clock. What time is it? I’m going out for some beer and wings. Later Appreciate the input. Enjoy the weekend!

Ahhh, hope you get a copy/get to play it soon!!! It's really an awesome one. :) The only games I have left on my SOS are 3 of the 4 games I got in my Japan order yester-yesterday, but hoping to get at least one or more played tonight! ^^

@@tabletoptokki wow, that's amazing!

Very fair question! I have had some playthroughs where I focused on other strategies vs prioritizing ports and it didn't affect final scoring too drastically. If you dont get even /one/ port, it could be really detrimental, but naturally through expanding, even if you focus on one territory, it'd be difficult not to. I think it's more of a balancing mechanic to allow diversity in replayability, otherwise someone focusing on one region would probably run away with a really succinct engine. Hope this helps! 😊

Ahh, thanks so much!!! Happy gaming~~~ 🥂

Yeah, I hadn't either til right before the order! Really exited to give it a go! 😁

Ahhh, good to know! And yeah, unfortunately I don't think we'll ever see an English version, but I'll def be sharing the labeled cards on the community Discord once I get them made up! 😊

Awesome-- thank you so much for this!!! Will definitely be checking it out. ^^

Yeah, absolutely! Another great title from Goblin Hour Games!!! ^^

Eyy, glad you were able to make it to the party regardless, haha! And glad to hear y'all enjoy Calico and Harmonies as well-- both super great titles. 😁

Ah, very true! I rarely ever play, so it didn't really come to mind. Definitely wish more games adopted similar methods for tracking resources! Do you have a preference between the OG TM or Ares/other TM titles/expansion content? :)

@@tabletoptokki Agreed! It's a very convenient way to handle resources. I have the TM big box and all the maps etc. I really prefer it to Ares. I want the meatier type of games. But I also prefer it with Prelude added to get the players going faster. I also like Ark Nova and Sweet Lands seems to incorporate things from both games :)

Ooh, good to know about Prelude! I haven't had the pleasure of trying it, but it def sounds like a welcome addition! And definitely seems like this would be right up your alley-- hope you enjoy it as much as I have! 😁

@@tabletoptokki Yeah, Prelude looks like a lot of money for what is basically a small deck of cards. But it both speeds up the game, and gives the players a more asymmetric start. It is the only expansion that we always play with. I am sure that I will enjoy Sweet Lands. It has many mechanics that I like :)

In the rules there is a clip shown that will be included in the final version! Even without this clip, I found it to be perfectly functional in the prototype with no hassle or annoyance while playing. :)

@ I don’t think the clip is being included anymore, as I’ve seen comments asking about one and the creators replying that they decided it wasn’t necessary, so it’s good that the board works fine without one.

Ah, good to know! And yeah, had no issues, so makes sense they decided it wasn't necessary. :)

Yeah, definitely! And the playtime and ease of learning for this one is an A+++ 😁

Yeah, both great in their own right! Cursed!? is so snappy & fun push-your-luck, while this one provides a decent amount of thinkiness and clever card management. 😁

@@tabletoptokki Exactly and you can play it in between, I love that a lot because a lot of games these days tie you down for the long term, this one is different and that's a good thing.

@@Papierzeit Couldn't agree more! I need games that work with my life-- not demand that I set aside time in my schedule just to play them. :p

Hey there, Just wanted to say thanks for noticing that I tried with the theme on this one. Majority of the quest flavor text and traits revolve around the quest theme - for example there is a hostage quest that is a lower level the more turns that are left, so if you do it early enough it can be completed by just one member, while if you tackle it while your nearly out of turns its a higher level. The "I'm da strongest!" quest flavor text says it's just some mountain orc that wondered down into a village and wanted to prove they are the strongest around and will leave peacefully if proven otherwise, that one you must send only strength guild members. Anyhow cheers I'm working hard to get it up for crowd sale in the coming week or so.

Eyyy, congrats on the new addition to your collection & definitely agree with you there! It's crazy how much you really feel like you're sending out guild members to tackle various quests and trying to get everyone to play to their strengths! Lots of cool interactions between quests and their text/abilities too! :D

Love how much thought you put into this aspect of the game and how well it marries with the idea of creating unique puzzles and challenges that vary for each playthrough! Love the idea of the rat horde too, dwindling down as you complete more and more quests. 😁

Ahaha, fair! And yeah, lotsa punch in this tin-- hope you can get a copy & try it for yourself soon! 😁 I LOVE Dragons of Etchinstone-- have the base game from The Game Crafter & anxiously anticipating what the new edition will bring to the table-- er, hand. 😉

@@tabletoptokki Whaaaaat. You have Dragons of Etchinstone, and no Solo Party? 🙀🙊🧑‍🚀 Ugh. I felt that one in the spleen. Or maybe it was the appendix. Kind of a jumble these days. You’re busy. Np 😉

@@StKnightis64 Haha, I just got it right before they announced the new edition, so I'd hate to make a whole-ass video and then just have it be outdated in less than a year. 🥲

@@tabletoptokki Yeah, valid point. A whole ass video. Boy, that’s ripe for a punchline. Enjoy the weekend.

@@StKnightis64 LMAO guess that'd be on the OF then. 😂

Thanks, it was definitely a close one! Time well spent--2/2 on game designs so far & I absolutely can't wait to see any future designs!!! 🥳🎉

Right back atcha!!! :D

There was a forum on BGG talking about it getting picked up by a publisher, but I am not seeing it now. Not sure that you can purchase physical copies at this time or if there will be updates, but here's to hoping! 🤞🏻

@@tabletoptokki thx

Could not agree more! It's a real game changer, for sure!!! ^^

I was hoping if you could clarify something for me please because I can’t find a pdf as yet for the new solo rules and I’m picking it up watching videos like yours When scoring the territories in the new rules is the only difference between standard and easy, the three-point card which shows two territories is now a two-point card . Do all the other territory cards -1 point as well? Hopefully that made sense and thanks in advance.

@@joeymoses3359 Yes, that is correct! For Easy mode, 2 tt = 2 pts, 3 tt = 2 pts, & 4 tt = 1 pt. Hope this helps! ^^

🎉🎉🎉

Yeah, definitely! I'm long overdue for ordering some prints, but unfortunately I'm also very out of wall space at my current place. 😅 And nothing in particular-- my schedule has been a bit of a good ol' cf lately, but I do have a super exciting preview that should be up soon… 🙆🏻‍♀️

@@tabletoptokki Well, looking 👀 forward to that. Enjoy the weekend.

Me too! Especially the part where I don't have to edit and the video is just DONE. 😂 Have a great one as always, Ken~~~

Sounds like a perfect fit! And that's mega cool-- is it difficult to do? I feel like I would not be able to keep up with it. 😅

@@tabletoptokki it’s one of those hobbies that can become as difficult as you want it to be! Super easy to do a mason jar on a windowsill to see if you like it though! Lots of tutorials on UA-cam too! :)

I used to have a small succulent garden, but ended up giving it to a friend because taking care of living things stresses me out...😅 But maybe it's time to turn a new leaf and give it another go! Thanks for the info! 🤗
