    This was an instant back after watching this. This looks great. The best thing about how this game turned out is that it feels so incredibly authentic to many of my game sessions where one missed rule spirals end game totals to laughable amounts. But, these teachable moments always become reminder points to stress on for the teach later. The journey was worth it and we found out we were the foxes all along.

    I watched this video when it came out. I even am backing the game, but I might cancel because honestly, I do not like how they are marketing their KS.
    Just an opinion from what I have observed and read on the campaign page and honestly does not have to be responded to. Just an outward thought on my part.
    The fox meeples I am cool with either design, I just do not understand why we had to have exclusive meeples offered to us by the player? That seems weird rather than just offering one whole stretch goal for all player counts to get the KS meeples. What would have happened in the event that only 1 or 2 or even 3 of the players got the improved stretch goal met and not the others. Would we have gotten the game with that odd number of KS exclusive fox art meeples? Just seems weird.
    Also, why not just make the 5th -6th player count as an add-on or something included in retail? If it had offered some exclusive mechanic or changed the game I would understand the exclusivity, but it does not. So, why the exclusivity especially when the main box is made to already house this expansion? Seems weird to limit and lock this behind KS exclusivity and limit the chance for this game to reach the table for larger parties when it seems to perfectly include 2-6 players with no change to the core game.
    Of all the stretch goals including solo is great for a huge backing of solo gamers. UV-spotting is always nice on games, and I enjoy the artwork. I want this game, but just because it is a KS does not mean it needed to have stretch goals, look at maul-peak they offer their game as is intended. Their game is offered at face value for what they are giving and the only benefit to KS backers is early accessibility. It is just a good example I can compare to. But, I still can not wrap my head around the idea that I am being sold 2/3 a game and having to pay an additional $40 just to get the last 1/3 of the game with the matching upgraded components.

    1:01:18 The Red player in the bottom right has a friendly dice with two halves, only one of which is being used (by a purple die). Could they also complete a blue or brown die, or do the friendly dice have to also remain in a single-colour row?

    • @mobilemole
      @mobilemole 9 місяців тому +1

      The split friendly die does not have to be the same color. Rule book shows an example of where one half is used for one trait and the other half is used to complete a different trait. It’s super helpful!

      Good to know as otherwise that would seem like a waste of a half-wild die.

      its basically the next step up to multiplayer solitaire (which i dont mind).
      sure you scored 200pts last round. Ill take your word for it. PS the 2 seconds I looked you made these 3 mistakes. GJ on the win though.

For example, curly tails were not a selected trait but often was a corollary trait to obedience and submissiveness.

      @@BoardInTheHouseBGAplayer the domestication of wolves started too many years ago for making it the object of a conversation today. But if you want to bring this in the mix, the domestication of dogs indeed created an infinite number of genetic diseases to dogs of pure breeds, which wolves never had, and this was caused solely on the genetic breeding and domestication by the hand of humans. Of course I am not saying that people should not have pets. I am just saying that making a game over the same phenomenon, today in 2022, could maybe romanticise something that is actually not that good for a wild animal. That's all
