    I came for the game. Stayed for the beard.

    I’m not even a big “theme guy,” but the Chicago gangland thing is so painfully tired that I’d rather play SoA despite any small improvements to gameplay or variety. Thanks for the vid!

    Reminds me of a cross between their Son's of Anarchy, with a bit of Dune mixed in.
    Dudes were members & prospects.

    Have you ever played Supergang by Ludodelire? That for me is the ultimate gang game. I especially enjoy the combat system. :-)

    Are they going to release the SOA expansions re-themed as well? Or is any of that content already incorporated in this base game?

    • @TheDiscriminatingGamer
      @TheDiscriminatingGamer  2 роки тому

      They may release more faction expansions for this in the future. Not really sure.

    I own and really enjoy Sons of Anarchy but a problem I have with the gaming group is that they are uncomfortable with the theme of selling drugs. I tried called them "Bootleg CDs" but the locations didn't help. I am loathe to purchase what is essentially a reskin but the group might actually play this one.

      Both great games.

      I love Sons of Anarchy: the board game. My favorite board game. I can barely get it to the table for various reasons. People are funny feeling uncomfortable selling fake drugs versus killing dudes, selling guns, etc. I received my copy of Wise Guys and it seems to have enough different things to enjoy as well as feeling and playing familiar. My only gripe so far is that I wish it has plastic pieces like Sons of Anarchy did.

    I don't understand the red gang rule. It says "win or lose, you walk away leaving the winner controlling the location." Why would you ever use this? you combine your stats with someone but get no benefit? What does walk away mean? Do you move your guys to a new location or bring them back to your clubhouse? It looks like it prevents a die roll, so is this used passive aggressively where you just ally your single associate with someone you don't want to win so they don't get to roll the die? I'm just confused.

      I'd have to read it again. Haven't played it for a few weeks.

      @@TheDiscriminatingGamer Its the chicago outfit's gang ability (arbitration). The rulebook doesn't cover it.

      You can force someone to spend guns to win and lose clout. You then walk away with no damage taken. Seems pretty strong to me.

    It's such a barometer of where this country is right now, when a porn shop or adult theater could be "off putting" to some....in a game about theft, murder and betrayal.

      I recently read "The Second World War" by Anthony Beevor. There were more than a few spelling errors in that book. It happens. Still, a great book that I'm glad I read.

    Hi Cody,
    I wonder how the gaming experience feels compared to other remarkable mafia-games.
    More thematic, more rapid, more life-like?
    - or -
    gets abstract, drags on, far from reality?
    E.g.
    1) = = = Nothing Personal
    2) = = = Bootleggers
    3) = = = Mafiozoo

    • @TheDiscriminatingGamer
      @TheDiscriminatingGamer  2 роки тому +1

      Sorry. I haven’t played any of those. I like it about the same as CMON’s The Godfather, but better than IDW’s The Godfather.

    According to Jesus this game is not founded on any historical facts ...
    ...
    .....
    ...
    because it's set in the United States and they couldn't find 3 Wise Guys.
