This was worth the watch. Have seen reviews on other channels and had a bad opinion of the game. Have now changed my mind. Looks like it was well designed. Thumbs up to the designer.
I've watched three full plays of the game so far (this one, MvM, and Becca, Ivan & James before launch day). Love the theme and the general gameplay, but I have two observations. Biggest problem I see in all three plays is the player who completed the most quests won easily. It appears if you simply follow a quest completion strategy your chances of winning are pretty good (I'm aware this is a small sample size, though). Second, in all three plays people wrapped around the score track (sometimes twice). May want to consider increasing the score track size to 100 (this is a minor problem in my opinion however). Everything else looks great. Love the artwork. Happy gaming!
Yeah quests seem to be the strategy you'll most likely win with. They should definitely play test someone winning multiple battles vs someone only doing quests. If they add cards or chips that say 50 on one side and 100 on the other then that helps
@@chasebarr3492 Oh I think Purple is a fine colour for the Hatter. Just not that dark purple. Should be more of a mauve, so it doesn't blend into the backdrop.
Love seeing this. Great job Becca and Crew...Game looks brilliant. March 2021 can’t come soon enough...OMG KIKI YAY...better get the censor out to bleep all the MotherF’ers
1:31:25 James dropped the bag with the same haughty flare as dropping the mic, but nobody noticed. It was just like a tree falling in the Tulgey Woods when nobody was around to hear it :/

Didn't Becca straight up cheat on 1:35:25 she drew a flamingo previously but Rooks don't apply multiplier effects on them so it would of just been three?
Hey there, I've been only watching Wil Wheaton's Table Top. So I just wanna ask what happened to that show? That was the best show I've enjoyed on UA-cam.
So... Is there going to be any official informatiol about this channel or are we just supposed to guess if the channel is closing down or not? I mean I miss game the game, relics and rarities, frontier, etc .. would be nice to have some news...
Not official, but I came across this tweet which says everyone at G&S was laid off awhile back. Given the lack of new content here and in the website, can only assume it is true. twitter.com/dougluberts/status/1234577250390986752
@@evarchavex4800 it's understandable. Something you're watching suddenly goes off the air without any word, I can understand how it could be a tad disrespectful. Maybe disrespectful isnt the right word. More....disappointing? It does happen, and sometimes it happens in such a way they don't have the ability to say "hey, we're going off air for a bit, don't know how long" but it does happen.
I think they're going to be shutting down. They haven't uploaded in weeks, they haven't streamed in ages, and they have no new content aside from Game the Game.
Anybody know why there’s basically no content coming from this channel now? It’s been almost one month since this wonderland video. I love this show so I’d like to know if it’s getting cancelled
Awesome play through. Can't wait to get this to the table. Actually ended up closer at the end that it looked like it was going to be. Of coursde the Hatter won though. It's his Tea Party after all!
Hi, nice channel. Actualyy I'm seeking for a game like INTERPOL, that is an old board game where you must find the secret spy, which is a player, too! Do you have any similar game to recommend?
Three weeks now since this last video posting. This channel officially died back in 2017 when TableTop was cancelled. but this is just cementing it's death truly.
Hi, I am an A-level student and I am conducting primary research on tabletop games for my marketing assessment. I have seen your videos based on them. I was wondering if you could take the time out to answer these questions; 1. What about tabletop games attracts you 2. Would you prefer them over digital games, if yes, Why? 3. Are there any factors beyond personal choices, that are attractive about tabletop games?

I didn't notice that, but I did catch that the digital white rabbit card overlaid on the screen was slightly different from the physical one on the table. Discrepancies like these are probably due to this being a new game still in development.

A game that I would love to see you play is Gloomhaven, if you haven't already had that up yet. It is a great game for 1-4 players and I think it would be great to see you play this, similar to how you did the Betrayal Legacy game.
This channel used to be awesome. Now you guys only do like a post once a week. What happened to all of the RPG videos and all the other stuff that you used to do? Kind of disappointing.

Okay, this channel is dead. Everyone important has left, Alpha has gone under, TableTop got shafted, the RPG shows have gone to their own channels, there's nothing left here. This might as well be the "Game the Game" channel, since that's the only thing posted here now.
Hello my friends, there is a time you need help. She has two young children who are less than two years old. We can help her, if in dollars, for everyone. She lives a difficult life. She rents a small house, she is sick, and she does not have Sunday to help her.
I think some of that is a factor of the personalities playing. But, yeah, I think it'd be a bear to teach to players who need everything explained to you. I will say that I watched a 2p playthrough and it was super streamlined -- only took them 45 min.
I disagree with this. This game is far from complicated, just a meeple placement game with a sudo deck-builder aesthetic placed over it, and well explained. It looks like it would be really fun.
@@bobdole8830 for everyone else it was their first time playing. Even if you read the rules for a game and can explain them, during your first playthrough with most games you will forget things during the game itself and make mistakes. having to be reminded of things by a more experienced player doesn't make a game necessarily complicated; it just means they have had more opportunities to understand it.
So......... is this channel dead? It's disappointing if it is, I found the channel about 3 weeks ago watched about 60 videos, 95% of them with Becca Scott in them because she's absolutely beautiful. I watched we're alive: Frontier in 2 days. Awesome. Tried watching that Vampire the Masquerade crap, got about 40 mins in. But now I know Becca's in it so I'll watch the one she's in at some point.

Absolutely not. But, from my experience, play it before you give a final judgment on it.
Kiki was so great in this. I hope she comes back for more Gaming of the Game.
Antonia Pineiro you mean game the game but yea she was fun and I also hope she comes back
This play through has me wanting to play the game right now. It looks so fun. Can't wait!
Love seeing new board games, Becca is a great host, would love to play a game with Ivan
Meanwhile, the thought of getting a job never crossed your mind, did it?
Great play through! And Kiki was amazing in it!! Well done gang!
I love when James is on Game the Game. He is a wonderful human
Thank you for this gameplay. You got so great energy there. It was a pleasure to watch you playing and having so much fun ;)
This looks really fun! Kiki is adorable and fun to watch. Great episode.
This was worth the watch. Have seen reviews on other channels and had a bad opinion of the game.

They have actually added a token to track 50 and 100 pts.
They did mention that they're still doing some balance testing-specifically referencing quests vs winning battles.
So great to see Kiki making more gaming content. It'd be awesome if she became a regular.
Good to see Kiki join. Just found her channel a few days ago. Interesting game.
I have to admit, I usually fall asleep during playthroughs, even of games I've backed or have bought. This one actually seems pretty cool.
I am not colourblind, but that purple player token on the boardwalk (wood track) is IN-VIS-I-BLE.
They should of made the mad hatter green and maybe the jabbawock white or maybe black

This looks like so much fun! Can't wait to get my copy soon:)
I was so hoping you were going to be showcasing this game Becca ! Definitely going to back this one based off of this game play through !
Goodbye G&S. Thank you for giving us Critical Role, Wednesday Club and other cool shows.
P.S. Release Sagas of Sundry: Madness, you cowards.
hey im new here what happened to the series?
Vitor FZ Everyone got laid off/fired maybe because of Covid. It says on their Twitter
1:31:25 James dropped the bag with the same haughty flare as dropping the mic, but nobody noticed. It was just like a tree falling in the Tulgey Woods when nobody was around to hear it :/
"You always make people work so hard when you bring a game."
"Because I'm an ass."

Roll tide.
Maybe he is straight and that's why he didn't say that.

Miss these videos, and Table Top Gaming videos
I love that little outburst of madness from Ivan at 1:26:55 . I laughed so hard too :D
Oh such a Hatter laugh too hahahah, want to play this game now
At 1:44:30 he is supposed to get x2 since it’s completed. He only gave himself 4 points. Shouldn’t he have got 8?
I'm SOOOOO excited! I was FINALLY able to purchase this game WOOT WOOT!
ps. i miss your board game play throughs
48:35 "I also enjoy that the tea party has a rapier." - Totally misheard that. Not a Leap Year, but a ..
Watching entirely because of Kiki. Lol. Well, I'm also totally backing this amazing-looking game; but Kiki's awesome.
Strange that the card displayed at 27:14 says 3, but the one in play only says 2 (as read by the player and as shown at 27:25).
Didn't Becca straight up cheat on 1:35:25 she drew a flamingo previously but Rooks don't apply multiplier effects on them so it would of just been three?
Ivan really took serius been the Mad Hatter... he when Mad and laught so hard ... LOVE IT!
Could the DM of 10 Candles be anything *except* the Mad Hatter? I mean really
Dear Becca, I'd love to see you play Cartographers, or an other Tiny Towns... A hug from Mexico :)
Holy jumping Christmas how did I not know about this game?!?
my son just really wants this game......cant wait till it comes out
Somebody put tea in my bourbon!

they haven't posted in almost a tear :(

If the other player in a region busts, are you allowed to keep going?
A game that I love to play is Explorers of the North Sea
Will spellsplingers be back or is that show done?
I WANT THIS GAME SOOOOO BAD!
Do they still stream on Twitch? Last few times I checked they had no shows at any of the scheduled times or any updates.

Did you guys ever do a video on the unmatched board game?
Has the betting mechanic been dropped or did I miss it?
I’d really love to see you guys make a gameplay vid for Zenescope Entertainment’s Wonderland The Board Game 😁🤞🏼
Has Game The Game gone belly up or just on hold for a month?
The whole channel is dead.
It's interesting to myself but I don't think I have ever liked the background music for any of these videos. Possibly due to the volume.
It says release date March 2020, will the retail version be available soon after that or will we have to wait quite a while?
I think that is just the date the Kickstarter ends
Background music name please, it is really suitable for root T_T

I know covid is around but I guess we won’t see game the game for a while
Hey, its person that plays Felicia Day in super natural, "Charley"
I think the only way I would play this game is if, the Red Queen herself, Becca invited me to the next round.
Did anyone else noticed what the jabbawock's card said and what he did didn't match?
I didn't notice that, but I did catch that the digital white rabbit card overlaid on the screen was slightly different from the physical one on the table. Discrepancies like these are probably due to this being a new game still in development.
anybody remember the guild
Loved it, that's what brought me to this channel.. Just now! xD
Can you play, a wolf by any other name next?
I miss ya guys I wish ya luck in Covid

BRING BACK TABLE TOP
Vsauce says hi
seems really convoluted and unnecessarily complicated.
I think some of that is a factor of the personalities playing. But, yeah, I think it'd be a bear to teach to players who need everything explained to you. I will say that I watched a 2p playthrough and it was super streamlined -- only took them 45 min.

thier is only one show after table top ... that is GAme the game!!! indeed chanlgenge excepted!!! now let roll nd draw. roll intertatation
How come you stopped Game the Game? Just on views alone, your videos have not done nowhere near close to Game the Game.
This game looks like a chore to play. It pretends that complexity is a replacement for intuitive playability. There are too many mechanics, but no clear theme that unites them.
The wonderland element is what it is, but it is not clear how it contributes, or what aspects are meant to be brought forward. Is it just goofy silliness? The death wish element? The math? I am assuming it just functions as a skin, and it could just as easily be Nancy Drew. It is a content empty aesthetic.
It feels less like a game than an elaborate tissue of allusions and injokes for gamers and geeks in the shape of a game. And it doesn't look like fun.
Fallstar Spot on. It’s a mess of unrelated game mechanisms piled on top of one another. Basically calvinball the board game
Don't agree with you on that. I'm not sold on everything about the game but I wouldn't say it is complicated and the theme works.
I have to disagree. Some stuff looks like it needs some more reworking on how the abilities go, but this game is far from complex and all the mechanics looked like they flowed pretty well together
I will say that I was in agreement with your thoughts after I heard some about the game-mostly thought mechanics seemed like a weird mix that wouldn't work well together and could be more complicated than normal.

Absolutely not. But, from my experience, play it before you give a final judgment on it.
