Excited……. Nice unboxing! Almost shouting that you could push on the techtree, instead of using your knive… hope to get it before the Christmas holiday
Very excited for this game.. Haven't been playing campaign games in general but I'm stoked for his one. Your excitement for this title is a bit infectious.. Good sneak peek
This video was the most fun unboxing video ever! I appreciate that you sent the video to Cody to make sure you didn't inadvertently spoil anything, and I love your overall excitement about the game! Great job!
I backed both Arydia and Agemonia back after you previewed each one. I'm very happy with how Agemonia turned out. I'm hoping I feel the same with Arydia, but by all accounts, I think I will. Their latest update said they would be at PAX Unplugged this weekend with a booth, but they aren't selling any copies. Backers will get theirs first (they are on ships now). Good to hear. I also picked up Xia and it's expansions later in the campaign, so now I have no idea what I'm going to do when all of the boxes arrive...
So excited for this game!! If you didn't know, for Primal there are sheets on BGG that make it easy to mark everything each character has for the campaign. I laminated mine so I could use erasable markers with it.
I had to "watch" this unboxing without looking, just audio. I can't wait to jump into this box and experience it's greatness! Also you gasping has got me VERY excited.
Cannot wait for my copy to arrive, with everything going on Cody has done an amazing job and he abd his team should be praised for their hard work abd amazing communication.
@@BoardGameCo I'm sure it will be, and for the record, I doubt I would have time to play it until January anyway. I haven't decided on path yet but I'm leaning toward a solo play with Valour.
@@BoardGameCo I think that depends on the goal. If the goal was for the box to close, maybe not. If the goal was to be entertaining and relatable content... unequivocal success.
I'm so stoked I have a copy coming! I couldn't afford it way back when the campaign first ran, but I was able to secure a late pledge about 6 months ago. Big fan of Xia and Cody, and really happy I was able to help support his next game, and again, feeling lucky I was able to get a copy to late into the game.
Struggles for five minutes to get everything back in the box, pulls the box into view, shows the packing instructions xD Anyways, SUPER HYPED for this game! Have been for YEARS now! It's gonna be fun, fun, FUN!
This looks really MASSIVE game. I'm not surprised some people are waiting this so badly. Personally I'm waiting for the new printing of XIA from this campaign.
Somebody help me out. I have Arydia just arriving, Oathsworn, and Gloomhave Jaws of the Lion. (I also have Agemonia re-release coming this next year, but I want to start one now)Which one of those might be the 'easiest' barrier to entry to get my girlfriend in? She's interested, but I don't want her to be overwhelmed by the heaviest/hardest game. I know people gameplay on Arydia may be limited, but as far as you think, thoughts?
Great unboxing. I was very hesitant to watch, afraid that it would have too many spoilers, but you showed enough for us to get even more excited about this game without going into the details that Far Off Games wants us to experience! 😅😅
I need to become a content creator so we can get our backed games first. I CANNOT wait for this game to arrive. Plan is to quit my job and play Arydia 24/7 until the campaign is done
If they'll ship to Ireland my regular online store has it available for pre-order, but at the price tag I'm hoping they won't sell out and I'll buy it when it actually comes out.
Man, Alex, you really should play Eclipse: SDFTG before you give it away/sell it. It's a REALLY good game. Heck, my wife even liked it and she typically hates 4x space games.
I don't mind that a content creator gets a pre-production copy. This just builds hype and is appropriate. I mind a LOT when distributors get copies to sell to the general population before backers get theirs. I'm looking at you CMON Cthulhu DMD FotU. This is honestly insulting and unnecessary and just tells me a company is bad at managing their project (because the core box is done well before the rest of the add-ons), and there is no excuse for a company as big and successful as CMON. I'd be pretty forgiving for a small indie that didn't have many under their belt.
Far Off Games are a great example of how to manage delays. Their handling of delays and communication is so good, they earn high levels of loyalty and trust.
Good lord, that box... THIS is why I crowdfund! Can't wait for my copy!
Same!!
My most anticipated game for 2 years
I almost had a heart attack watching you take a knife to the tech tree 😳
I behaved in the end :)
Alex. It’s already been *at least* 10 hours since you opened this box. Where the heck is your review man! 😉
35:49 I want to be in the meeting where someone says, “You know what we need? We need people like Alex ruining things with their knife.”
Excited……. Nice unboxing! Almost shouting that you could push on the techtree, instead of using your knive… hope to get it before the Christmas holiday
I’m soooo incredibly excited for this to deliver! Let’s GOOoOOOOooO
Very excited for this game.. Haven't been playing campaign games in general but I'm stoked for his one. Your excitement for this title is a bit infectious.. Good sneak peek
So glad I backed this last minute. Cannot wait!
Been waiting on this for 2 years. Looks like it'll the board game to end all board games for me. Can't wait for my copy!!
I have a feeling that Alex likes this game.
Alex's unrestrained enthusiasm was as much a motivator for backing as my joy for Xia.
I"m super excited for Arydia!!!

Thank you 🙂 I'm definitely excited for it

This might be the most “crowdfunding” game I’ve ever seen. So many bits and bobs. Interested in learning more, though, because of course I am.
Can't wait for mine to arrive! :D :D :D
So excited for this game!!
If you didn't know, for Primal there are sheets on BGG that make it easy to mark everything each character has for the campaign. I laminated mine so I could use erasable markers with it.
Yep! I use them But it still means work when you jump from single shot to the campaign
I had to "watch" this unboxing without looking, just audio. I can't wait to jump into this box and experience it's greatness! Also you gasping has got me VERY excited.
That’s the best way to experience an unboxing and rambling. Until Alex gets to showing off the minis. Then listening is just boring.
@@srebme2 Must...resist....looking...OH PAINTED MINIS!!
I really enjoyed how much Alex humiliation was in this video! Good job sticking with it dude! You are a master of pivots
I do my best :)
AH!! I want to watch but I’m waiting on my own Copy! Oh man. Have Fun Alex and fam! Congratulations to Cody and FOG!
Holy moly that box is huge!
Cannot wait for my copy to arrive, with everything going on Cody has done an amazing job and he abd his team should be praised for their hard work abd amazing communication.
I think I may be a Dwarf named Werf the Hungry!
“I’m Werf the hungry dwarf.” That has a nice ring to it 😂
Can’t wait for my copy. Thanks for the unboxing Alex!
Ohh. Can't wait for my copy to arrive. FINALLY.
I'm so jealous, have to wait until January here in UK
I'm sorry. :-(, I hope it's worth the wait
@@BoardGameCo I'm sure it will be, and for the record, I doubt I would have time to play it until January anyway. I haven't decided on path yet but I'm leaning toward a solo play with Valour.
The blind repacking attempt was great. "Try to repackage a big box game under a time limit" would make for a great competiton video.
It...did not go well.
Lol I was too confident

Mmmm…coffee. So happy to see Arydia finally arriving and fulfilling. Really excited to get it into my hands and on to the table.
Dammit I should've backed this.
I'm looking forward to this.
Thanks for this video! I'm a backer of this game, and I'm really looking forward to this! Nice to see the unboxing.

JOTL is probably the most approachable one.
So excited for this!!!
Amazingly infectious video, thank you. Not going to pick my combos yet, I'll save that for when it arrives.
Enjoy it 🙂
Yay, i might get my Xia expansion soon. Or maybe slightly less soon.
I loved xia and would love a big box expansion for that game! I wait on this one to see how it lands.
Alex my friend you are one lucky S.O.B, mine is still 11 days away at least !!!😅😅😅
WHAT??? This is a nice surprise. Let’s GOOO
I can't wait to dive in 🙂
Great unboxing. I was very hesitant to watch, afraid that it would have too many spoilers, but you showed enough for us to get even more excited about this game without going into the details that Far Off Games wants us to experience! 😅😅
The edit jumps from cut out content made me laugh each time.
I need to become a content creator so we can get our backed games first. I CANNOT wait for this game to arrive. Plan is to quit my job and play Arydia 24/7 until the campaign is done
Any chance we get a playthrough? This game looks amazing
If they'll ship to Ireland my regular online store has it available for pre-order, but at the price tag I'm hoping they won't sell out and I'll buy it when it actually comes out.
0:19 Woah! Woah! Woah! There is NOT enough cream in that coffee.
I really wish i had backed this game and not Wild Assent now. 😢
My preorder for this died with the gaming goat. 😢
I don’t think I can justify buying the game twice. Looks really cool though!
The Marvel Champions rule, you mean when the decks run out? Recently encountered that!
Man, Alex, you really should play Eclipse: SDFTG before you give it away/sell it. It's a REALLY good game. Heck, my wife even liked it and she typically hates 4x space games.
Caffeine rambling Alex is fun Alex
Lol, agreed
cannot tell, did you cut any bits out?
Yes 🙂 there should be two jump cuts, one is at around 18 minutes, and then the other one at around 19
@BoardGameCo hope it did not spoil too much for you
@boardgameco constantly hiding what is in the package (not sharing spoilers) and I’m over here like Brad Pitt asking “WHATS IN THE BOX, MAN?!?!?!”
Yeeeeessss!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Wow. This game is like 2 years late from what was promised or "estimated". Completely forgot about this game.
Literally no kickstarter promise any delivery date
Estimated promise
Normal KS delays for a project of this size were compounded by the creator's son getting cancer. Fortunately, he's doing well now.
Far Off Games are a great example of how to manage delays. Their handling of delays and communication is so good, they earn high levels of loyalty and trust.
