Thanks for the preview! I am *really* looking forward to this game, so I'm envious that you got to play it early. I agree that Duel of Ages and this game are tactical wargames. There have been so many skirmish games coming to the market over the last few years that this super-duper-uper skirmish game may make a splash. I hope so!
I think it will. I expect the Kickstarter to do very well.
Love the content :) You always find cool hidden gems on these "episodes" that most other content creators/reviewers just ignore. Big thumbs up from me :)
Thanks! Happy to help!
This is one that I heard about recently so I'm glad you previewed it! Very, very interested. Thanks.
Thank you! I think you’ll get a kick out it.
Truly a unique game. There is really nothing else like it that I am aware of. If the theme appeals to you then it would find a prominent place in any collection. And welcome to the Boise area Cody! I live here as well, and I hope that we can sit at the same gaming table sometime.
Shoot me an email and we can work something out.
Thanks for the preview. Even more excited for this now!
Happy to help!
Thanks for talking about this, I was hoping to get a better idea of what was on Kickstarter, as I've never played Duel of Ages 1 or 2. The streamlined play is a big plus for me as most of my players don't go in for too much complexity.
This is a good one. Easy to learn and teach.
I think it was a good idea for the name change from Duel of Ages to Worldspanner. Always been a great game.
Indeed.
There are no longer defined ages in the game, so we had no choice! :) But I really like the new name.
Love Dual of Ages 2 and the master set . Would you say worldspanner has enough differences to warrant owning both?. I notice many of the cards look very similar if not identical to dual of ages
Gameplay is swifter and more streamlined. Plus, there are a few new bells and whistles throughout like the different challenges on the faction keys.
What TDG said, plus you have a co-op/solo campaign for 1-4 players and then can play the regular game co-op/solo as well. Plus the ability to creator your own characters easily with a true-formatted printout.
The lowly "common" gamer :D
Quite a few games with this general concept, but this may be the most ambitious. 111 chars? Goodness me.
It really has a lot of content, for sure. And a very cool combat system.
If you had to choose between Worldspanner Factions and Firefly 10th Anniversary Edition, which would you choose?
Two very different games. Apples to Oranges.
@@TheDiscriminatingGamer Thanks for the reply! I get what you’re saying. I guess I saw the similarity in that they’re both longer experience-type games, where it’s more about the stories than the mechanisms.
Is there any game you’d compare this to, other than Duel of Ages I and II?
@@d.b.4910 I'm not sure. With the changing board it's pretty unique.
I cannot flipping wait for this game!!
Me too!
Kinda feel I would had preferred they finished the last game.
Don't know which parts would had been unsmooth there but yeah spacious maps and I guess it took some time to play. Don't know what this improves.
Whoa. DoA reboot? Yes please
If you like DOA, you'll love this.
Do any of the boxes have a full cooperative mode?
I know there is a solo mode, so I assume you could use that AI for a coop. Not 100% sure.
Factions Set 3 is the campaign, which is co-op for 1-4 players. The AI used in that campaign then lets you play the regular game co-op for 1-4 players.
In Boise. I did not know you moved. I hope you and Kim are still together.
Yup.
Great. Just because I am single I like to see realationships that work survive. I became a widower 3 years ago on the 13th of this month. I am curious does she watch you videos?
Unless it's a party game, simultaneous play or timed with a clock game I can't imagine how an 8 player game takes about as long as a 4 player. Maybe there's some special rule that addresses it that but I don't know if you mentioned it.
Allowance must be made for AP, but as I mentioned the teams can take their turn more or less simultaneously.
The secret is that the "game" is actually a fistfight.
He is back!
Indeed!
I have that same table! Also the game looks neat and a little bit completely insane baha
It is completely, gloriously insane!
Have you ever reviewed any pocket sized games?
Is that a brand, or just a description? Here are some of my favorite games in small packages: ua-cam.com/video/kQT_jMIsPxA/v-deo.html
I have to admit, sometimes your jokes are pretty bad, but the CPR one had me chuckling.
All the jokes are good. Some are gooder than others.
@@TheDiscriminatingGamer Sure, sure.
:D
Looks fun, but 210 dollars, and almost 200 euros fun? I don't know
You must decide that did yourself.
This releases with three full game sets. Set 1 is $59, the whole series is $179.
@@worldspanner6072 Oh that sounds a lot more feasible and reasonable for me. Consider my interest piqued :)
