      Your intro is VERY GOOD. But you need to improve on your content. I'll give you a tip: write a script on what you are about to say about the review before you start shooting. That way you can be concise and confident and focus more on how you deliver your review. It will also be easier to edit the video later. You can always add free-talk/ad libs here and there, but overall you will have a more meaty content when you think it through and write it down beforehand vs. thinking about it when the camera is on. You will also have better and more constructive way of talking about the negative parts of the game. Just my suggestion.

    Thanks for the comment about solo (it is very important to note any solo variances in opinion).

      Trying to add more of that and be conscious about it.

    We have the first editions of both GWT and Rails to the north, in a collection of over 50 games GWT with RTTN is the game we play the most!

    Great Video. The old expansion was not interesting at all. I felt it took from the game rather than adding to it.
    The changes they made for the new version, is stellar, I really like what they did to the mechanisms and to the feel of the expansion.
    FYI: The medium-town tiles are not to be flipped. They go face up to the board from the set-up.
    Keep up the good work!

      Thank You for commenting and watching! May have mossed that on the medium town tiles but will make sure to correct it on the next playthrough

    Just a small note or constructive criticism. I'm about 17 mins in and we're talking about weaknesses of the expansion and I'm not even sure what the houses do yet. I feel like the beginning should be an overview of that. Keep up the good work though.

    I was on board - no pun intended- to buy this expansion because I generally do when I love a new game. But then you threw out that you wouldn’t recommended it for solo play and this is probably the only way I’ll get this to the table. What makes this not a good expansion for solo play?

    • @BadatBoardgames
      @BadatBoardgames  Рік тому

      Well I can’t say it’s not good for solo play my opinion is that the extra set up doesn’t make it that much better. I really like the base game though lol. If you don’t mind adding extra set up and time to your solo play then I can recommend it. Everyone is different in what keeps games
      From getting to the table. Dis I explain that well enough ?
