    Onitama was the game that kicked off my girlfriend's and mine board game addiction. We played it last year while on a holiday in Cyprus. There was an Englishman there who owns a board gaming hobby store where he doesn't sell games but instead you pay a small price of 2€ to play as much as you want, and they sell snacks and drinks. They don't live there and they only open the shop seasonally when they themselves are on holiday. I asked the owner for an entry level dueling game and Onitama was the one he recommended and taught us in a few minutes, it was very fun and a nice story to tell.

    Orc! I live in London and if you go at weekends, it can be super busy cause it's not a paritcularly big space so you're trying to work around people, it gets a little uncomfortable. But agree that the layout by theme is super cool and they generally have great stock

    Onitama is amazeballs. I really like the Way of Wind expansion, but the base game is awesome on its own. You can set it up and learn it in a few minutes, and it plays in no time at all. Really fun spin on chess-style play.

      i'm really really leaning towards this! was at a board game cafe today and saw 2 tables playing onitama actually! thanks for the tip on the expansion!

    Awesome! I visited London by the end of last year and if I knew about this store I would have stoped by without a doubt!
    In fact I visited the British Museum and I see that this store was not that far from it.. :(
    Next time I will.
    Thank you for this series of videos, cheers!

    I didn't realise Orc's Nest was still around, first place I came across Monsterpocalypse (the original release) and never stopped kicking myself for not buying it - this would have been about 2009 as they had the expansions. Glad you reminded me it is still there as I'm off to London next week.

    • @TimChuon
      @TimChuon  3 місяці тому

      oh no way! yeah it's a smaller shop, but definitely worth checking out if you're in the area! Monsterpocalypse minis are unreal 🤣

    ORC. Ooh this game store I've actually been to. I was there last August. Very tight to move around since it's pretty small although you can't really tell from the video. Revive is great. Played it last year. Definitely worth a try.

    • @TimChuon
      @TimChuon  3 місяці тому

      yes so true! there were actually a ton of people in store and they were so kind ( i didn't realize it until later) to wait to look at the games until we finished filming 😭 definitely will look into revive down the line, thanks for the tip!
