    My group had a blaaaast playing this! I had to go crazy printing FAQs and rules summaries to help - but game was good!

    Nice vid, I’ve got the game as well along with the minis. Looking forward to playing it asap. Hope to see some painting tutorials or suggestions on the minis, they look fantastic! Really like what you did with them.

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I’m so impressed at how quickly you get minis done. I only use contrast paints and I’ve been ‘painting’ the first expansion for Journeys in Middle Earth for the last two months. I really struggle with which colours to choose. Your work is also just so neat and clean, I don’t know how you can knock out a whole game in one evening!

    🥳🥳🥳 Very happy for this unboxing video, it's great.
    I loved the Joy of Unboxing and was so sad to hear you weren't going to do unboxing videos anymore. They are beautiful sounding videos and I love your quick instant review of board game the components.

      Thankyou! I miss them a bit too, but they just weren't getting the views. But I'm less strict about categorising my videos these days, I just do what I enjoy, so the unboxing is certainly not completely dead!

    I gotta say you done a great job with those minis using mostly contrast, takes me ages to paint up stuff but then I go full hog, and they look good, but impressed with how good yours look using quick methods.

      Contrast paints have become the main weapon in my painting arsenal these days, they really speed things up, and I can always go back and detail the paint jobs more at a later date.

      Don't know yet, haven't had a chance to play it! But I think you'd be missing quite a lot playing it solo - the whole concept is about bluffing and secrecy and who is the alien and all that, after all.

    Looks like you didn't receive the Human Miniatures Set 2. It includes Fuches, Copper, Palmer, and Childs (and character cards) for a total of 12 characters to choose from. I suggest you track it down. Looking forward to your rules summary as they are consistantly excellent.

    • @EsotericOrderGamers

      Oh no! I was wondering about Childs. Will do, thanks. There's nothing else I missed?
