Obsession is on BGA Whhaaaaaatt!?? Man my wife and I love this game! The care that this designer put into this game is really evident when reading the rule book and his break down of society from this era and how it links directly to his theme and the strategies. Just a well designed game from top to bottom and a joy to play.
Fun quick reviews. I like this format. I ordered ready set bet. Hopefully it will be at my door before Christmas. I will definitely be the hype man for the horses.
Thanks for the snapshots! (BJAAAAA!!!) I'm glad that Heat and Ready Set Bet hit for you, because they're both en route to me now. :) I also enjoyed my one play of Flamecraft so far, and you know I _looove_ me some Obsession! I'm still working my way up to Anachrony... Maybe after Septima comes out.
Ohh wow you got two of our all-time favorites in there - Obesession and Anachrony We recently got Flamecraft retail version to try out. Two games sort of along these games which we've: Resurgence and Lacrimosa.
Ready Set Bet was a huge hit with the family over Thanksgiving. The app is really well made and we pretty much used that exclusively instead of hand rolling the dice. I also blinged out my copy with a 30 by 30 neoprene mat of the game board, which really adds to the experience. Next up is printing stickers and attaching them to some clay poker chips to replace the betting tokens.
Great video! I really want to try Heat, was playing some Wacky Races with the family over the Holiday and while I really have fun with it a more complex race game would be nice. Obsession is such a terrific game IMHO the theme and mechanics are so smooth and so well integrated.
I've played Ready, Set, Bet with two different groups...one was a bomb/dud...the other time was "da bomb" (it was so much fun). It is definitely group dependent, so be aware, it isn't a guaranteed success, but under the right circumstances...amazing! I did use the app both times, but I think next time, I'm going to actually roll the dice to see how that goes.
I haven’t played any of these! Definitely wanna try Obsession on BGA and Flamecraft seems way too cute. Right up my alley. Cool to hear you talk about awareness that you’ve progressed in the hobby. PS Love the Disneyland drip. And BIDYYAAAA
I played Anachrony about a year ago. I LOVED it, and was thinking about it for days after. The copy was the Infinity Box - with the awesome Exosuit minis, metal resource cubes, expansions, and organizer. I was considering dropping cash and went to the Mindclash site and WHOLY COW! $360 USD for the equivalent of the Infinity Box! Sheesh! I've held off since then, but still think about her from time to time
We love Obsession. I have Ready Set Bet (and Flamecraft) in shrink in the cabinet. I almost pulled out RSB for Thanksgiving but worried it was the wrong crowd. Will try with my neighbors first! Will have to look up Anachrony. What’s you all’s fav worker placement game?
Oh man that’s a tough one. It’s hard to think on the spot but off the top of my head I would say Jamie’s is likely Viticulture, mine might be Anachrony honestly haha. I loved it
Nice video. Btw. Highly recommend endless winter if you haven’t played it yet. I think we played it 4 times in 5 days. Much better than what I expected
Rallyman GT implementation on BoardGameArena is great, worth checking it out there. (Downforce is also there). Rallyman GT > Downforce + Flamme Rouge for us.
what - no exo minis for Anachrony??? you are missing out! the most necessary unnecessary bits ever. So happy that you loved it - take easy on the mods and expansion - so much longevity there.
I think so yea. I’d need to go back and play flamme rouge again before confirming that though. I do like the tandem race mechanic in flamme rouge though. It’s close. They are both very good
I’ve had the Infinity box for ages but have been too scared to attempt to learn as it’s an absolute beast of a box but you’ve convinced me to get it out!
Obsession runs beautifully…. I really enjoyed it way more than I expected
Same!! It’s so smooth
Rallyman GT is also really good. Dice driven instead of cards, but it is fun. But heat with the Vincent Dutrait art is so pretty!
Heat is VERY pretty. You’re right
I'm super excited about Heat. It's nice to know multiple reviewers like it too.
It’s definitely getting the love!

It is!!
Never stop the BIDJYAAA!
It’s going nowhere hahah

Thanks Matthew! We really like this format too. Haha hope you enjoy the game, keep us posted on if you enjoy it!

Let us know what you think of them when you get a chance to play them! I think you should take a crack at anachrony! I believe in you

We hope to give lacrimosa a try soon!

Yea get into those iron clays!!!
The app really helps this game out imho!

Ah man I really love wacky racers! It’s such silly fun

Ohhh good to know!! Definitely agree it’s group dependent. But I would argue most board games can be bad with the wrong group
Can’t wait to get my copy to the table
Love Obsession, can't wait for my Flame Craft to get here (ordered the deluxe from 401 games and I am still waiting for it).
Hope you get it soon!!

Reggie let’s play obsession together on BGA!!! Message me (Jeff) on discord and I’ll line up a game for the three of us

We love Obsession and yes it’s still on Board Game Bliss!
Such a great tight game!
Obsession might be a great game to play in between waiting for the next season of Bridgerton!
We support that!
Great video as always. I really wanna get Obsession and Flamecraft.
We do recommend!
@@FostertheMeeple i really enoy Obsession on BGA and Flamecraft is just f-ing cute
Nice video. Btw. Highly recommend endless winter if you haven’t played it yet. I think we played it 4 times in 5 days. Much better than what I expected
We just got our copy!
@@FostertheMeeple I hope you like it. I’ve already lost 4 times to my wife in the last 4 days and I’m ready for more. I really like this game .
Think I'll be racing to the shop for Heat.
Ehoh! I see what you did here
@@FostertheMeeple hehe 😏
I LOVE FLAME CRAFT!!!! got it as soon as I saw it at my LGS (Victory Pints...What up All you can Board)
Nice!
Rallyman GT implementation on BoardGameArena is great, worth checking it out there. (Downforce is also there). Rallyman GT > Downforce + Flamme Rouge for us.
I’ve seen it on there!! I’ll likely try it out at some point
what - no exo minis for Anachrony??? you are missing out! the most necessary unnecessary bits ever.
So happy that you loved it - take easy on the mods and expansion - so much longevity there.
We have the minis! They were packed up to move when we played
Love your mugs!
Thank you!
Heat sounds just like Formula D but with cards instead of dice and I really like Formula D! Obsession sounds like Gold Diggers the board game 😂
Hahaha Victorian England gold diggers
I did got heat played at 4 and was good
That’s good to know!
On Jeff liking heat. Thanks
Jeff does heat beat out flamme rouge for you, too?
I think so yea. I’d need to go back and play flamme rouge again before confirming that though. I do like the tandem race mechanic in flamme rouge though. It’s close. They are both very good
Would you recommend Heat as a 2 player game?
We enjoyed it at 2! That’s not to say you will though! So take that for what it is
Jamie, are you able to pop a link to the JonGetsGames Anachrony play-through in the comments as I can’t find it for some reason!
I’ve had the Infinity box for ages but have been too scared to attempt to learn as it’s an absolute beast of a box but you’ve convinced me to get it out!
My bad it turns out it wasn’t Jon GetS Games it was Nights Around the Table ua-cam.com/video/MoqFAuunCcE/v-deo.html
Ah ok, no worries. Thank you!
Your a grown ass man turn your hat around
