If you want more upgrading in Ankh, check out the Pharoh expansion: it allows players to aquire special cards and have unique abilities. A must for this game.
Great review about an awesome game! I LOVE Ankh, and I also find the merge mechanic nice and interesting. People complains about merge because they don´t play around it.
I've always wanted to know what Ankh was about but my lazy ass never really felt like looking it up on youtube. Now that you made a great video on it, I finally know that it is the third game in the mythic trilogy of Eric M. Lang
Never see you guys before. Loved the review and contrasting opinions/comments! Especially the whiteboard answers...kept me on edge until you flipped them around 😁
I completely agreed with the rating. It is a very good game, but there are enough things in it that just bother me enough to keep it from being fantastic, and the price convinced me not to get it myself.
The merge really makes or breaks this game for me. I hated the merge which made me dislike the game. You loved the merge which helped you like the game.
Hey buddy. Do you like to review and want to do crossovers while making friends along the way? If your answer is yes then you are probably interested to join the Reviewer community Team Night Saturn where reviewers like you and me are coming together. Other Reviewers who are a part of the team are Antoni Garcia, Karl Wallace aka "Some Canadian Critic", Joey Hollywood, the Fairly OddGamer and Eli D. Perry. My channel has reviews as well. For reference there's my review of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. I would love to hear from you soon.
@@BoardGameHangover Here are a few reviewers from Team Night Saturn I think you guys would love checking out: > Karl Wallace aka Some Canadian Critic (He reviews classic schlock movies, TV shows, good movies and he also reads fanfics and online stories in an audio book like way. So yeah a wide variety of content) > Antoni Garcia (He's best known for creating fanarts, reviewing fanfics, albums, movies but also for reviewing opera shows he likes to attend) > Christine Tsuzaki aka The Asian Critic Chick (She reviews comedy movies as well as adult swim cartoons and comedy shows) > Eli D. Perry (His content usually consists of movie analysis videos and reviews, as well as video essays on anime, music, and other pop culture.) > Lucas Bradley aka The Fairly OddGamer (He reviews video games that are either licensed-based or based on a certain franchise. But of course he's not alone because he always has his loyal companion Huxgamr, a surfer dog who also enjoys video games, to help him out.) They're all part of the site and I wholeheartedly recommend to check out their work. If you guys want me to link their UA-cam pages give me a heart or reply and I will reply with links to their UA-cam page in return. 😁
I think the big positive with Ankh is that it works very well at 2 players where most area control games stink at that player count.
YES, totally.
Yes I love it at two. I would say inis also works at two very well. Those are my favorites from the matagot and cmon trilogy at those player counts.
agreed

Thanks, will have to check it out.
Great review about an awesome game! I LOVE Ankh, and I also find the merge mechanic nice and interesting. People complains about merge because they don´t play around it.
I guess so. But I think they just don't like being "eliminated" from the game.
Recently found your channel, and I dig this format! Cheers.
It would be so cool if you guys did a video with all the "must have" rated games since the beginning of the channel
Thanks for the suggestion! this week's video will be just that! :)

Great channel! Thanks for the review!
Bought the base game + all expansions for 90€. I really enjoy it
Solid review 💪.
Looks like a great game but you’re right about the price. On my wish list.
bought this together with the pantheon box for 50 bucks on black friday and its a lot of fun!
That's a bargain! Great pick up
Very good review!

Welcome aboard! Glad you enjoyed it Dan!
I am a big fan of the game. We have played three times and it is never the same.
I completely agreed with the rating. It is a very good game, but there are enough things in it that just bother me enough to keep it from being fantastic, and the price convinced me not to get it myself.
I will most likely wait for a deal on it and then snatch it. I actually would pay less for a version without the big minis ;)
What is your opinion on which game is better Ankh or Kemet B&S? And why?
Fist time I hear the merger as the game's highlight :o
What can we say, we are weirder than your average reviewer ;)
Please make review of Northgard and Near and Far
Good suggestion on sons of anarchy / wise guys as an alternative
Thanks!
This game just came across my radar. Recent searches show it around $65 USD. How would you compare to Blood Rage or Innis?
Sounds like a good fit for me! Maybe I can get a used copy a bit cheaper. Good thing is I'm very patient when it comes to this :-D
Ahh, I wish I was patient. When a new and shiny game comes out, I MUST HAVE IT!
The RA joke was pure gold! 😂
Ahh shucks. Thanks ;)
The merge really makes or breaks this game for me. I hated the merge which made me dislike the game. You loved the merge which helped you like the game.
That is true. Have you tried the two player game?
Just because it's a smooth design it doesn't make it an intro game. It might be easy to teach but it's very hard to master for non gamers.
Fair enough! But I do envy people who try to master games these days, as I am the follower of the cult of the new ;) /Jānis G.
00:20 ankh's 1-5 players? q_q
Sorry about that :(
@@BoardGameHangover no worries :p great review btw! :D
