This was the first game I went all in for. It’s also the first game I’ve had friends asking when it’s going to arrive so we can play! Very excited for this one.
Did the all in + 4 inventory pack. At some point someone that doesn't play board games is going to find out that I spent that much on a board game, when that happens I'm going to show them this video. I'm glad it worked out for you.
I got into a bit of trouble when someone found out I spend 150 € for Tainted Grail. I'm never gonna tell them about this. Or about Isofarian Guard. Let's just be happy about it for ourselves.
Like you my top games of all time are KDM followed by Too Many Bones. The other Chip Theory games I have played haven't been keepers so I was starting to doubt this one but you have me hopeful again. Excited to get this and Nemesis, both of which I have on order.
Wow 50-60 hours is great to hear from a board game reviewer in such a time (+1 sub). Usually lifestyling is hard for such work. As a massive CTG fan I can't wait for my copy!!!!
Thanks for a fantastic review Mark, and happy to hear you still enjoy it so much after 50+ hours of play. So much looking forward to this one hitting the table, and it looks like it will stay there for a long, long time.
So excited for this to arrive. I backed purely on the Elder Scrolls IP having never played a CTG. The more reviews, gameplays I watch, the more excited I am! At first I was a bit concerned it might be to weighty with the 96p rule book, but the gameplay I have watched eased my concerns. I’m sure there will be some curve, but it seems like this game is going to be a hit for me! Thanks for the video.
Thanks Mark for your review!, As we have very similar tastes (with some exceptions, of course), I cannot wait for this to delivery, love TMB and will love it and this will be played a lot. Greeting from Poland!
Happy for you Mark - it is always great to see publishers improving systems and doing justice to an IP! Really enjoyed the thorough review as someone who has never played TMB or Elder Scrolls, I am looking forward to my game of this at GridCon
Huge kdm fan, never played tmb but heard lots of good things. TES is my favorite video game series, and inspired me to become a game dev. So excited! Plus i have models from the tes minis game, so i can use those :D
Great review Mark 👍 Can’t wait for this to deliver. My only slight complaint is that the “tutorial” scenario doesn’t actually teach you the game. On the contrary, it may very well sound nonsense if you go though it without first reading the corresponding sections in the rules. I wouldn’t call it a “tutorial”, it’s just showing you how to piece together all the rules on character management, map exploration, combat, delves, etc. But you need to read and learn those rules form the rulebook beforehand. Usually a tutorial booklet runs you through the game explaining the rules as you go
Oh.... this is exactly what I wanted to see! A review from someone who loves Too Many Bones!! I need to make time to watch the whole thing, do you think TMB and Elder Scrolls live in the same collection? Or do you feel this replaces TMB? Gah just typing this message I cannot wait for mine to arrive!
@@NotBoredGaming Fantastic I will most likely do the same!! Appreciate you making this video, videos just take so much dang work, and I would love to see your top 10 games of all time too! Anyone who likes TMB has a good taste in my book ;)
Thank you for this video. I enjoy your content. Eventhough you focused on solo play, as per your channel’s mission, I am curious about your comments on your experience on the other player counts. Sometimes when I enjoy a game solo, I like to consider trying with friends. Thanks.
Thanks for watching. As I mention in the video - I’ve played it with 2 and 3 players. Both were great and it really scaled very well but obviously takes longer the more players there are.
Love this Mark. I can't wait to get this. I keep wondering if I should ignore all new kickstarters since with this I may have enough great games already. Especially if this is so good.
Thank you for the review. I will be curious to hear your thoughts in a few months after the newness wears off, especially whether you really think there is a place for both ES and TMB in a collection and if TMB makes it back to the table over the winter months. I didn't back ES as I have everything TMB (and Cloudspire and remastered Hoplo) but it does look very good.
Love the review. We clearly share a lot of favourite games so it’s looking good I late pledged :) are you thinking this replaces TMB? Is there space for both games in a collection?
I am debating whether or not to back cloudspire at the moment and get into that world as well for solo gaming. On the other hand Elder Scrolls should be around in a couple of months. Having played elder scrolls I'm curious about your opinion on a comparison to cloudspire.
"It's got its quibbles". 42 minutes and that's the critique, that's the negative. What a joke, this is not a review, it's a paid gush. Really tired of these unprofessional clowns in the board gaming community.
Dude - have a Snickers, you aren’t you when you are hungry. “Paid unprofessional clown” - love it. I mean, I’ve never taken any payment for anything on my channel but, hey - what do you facts have to do with anything when you are going full “Donald Trump”. Who says I’m a professional? I’m just a guy with a camera, this isn’t my job it’s a hobby 😂😂 As for clown, my kids will tell you I’m not funny so you kinda missed the mark on that one as well. Look, it’s not for me to convince you to change your opinion on me, you think I’m a paid, unprofessional clown just like I think you are a spineless, keyboard warrior dickhead with a poor grasp on social interactions, some things just aren’t for changing.😂 Now, go and have some food, take a nap and I’m sure you will feel fine when you wake up. If not, ask Mummy to make you some cocoa and watch Blues Clues - I guarantee you’ll feel better then.
Actually your comment is an clown troll reaction. I personally doent care what your tired of. I don’t have to agree with the review and the hype. But your rude reaction and sneaky comment is what’s more fucked about and I’m the one who’s tired of trolls like you.
@@NotBoredGaming Just tired with the hobby in general. Scum such as Quackalope is just breeding like there's no tomorrow. Even scum who will make a video for free games such as you. Really, it's just so shameless even an idiot can see right through it. No editorial honesty, and it's been getting worse. I play boardgames since the original Hero Quest, Agricola, Starcraft and such, some 30 years more or less. It's never been worse reviewer wise. No wonder your channel is so small though and god bless, it will stay that way.
Hmmm...seems we have someone with hurty feelings...you don't need a snickers buddy, perhaps Vicodin to mask all that pain you're feeling...who hurt you bro beans 😢 Great vid Mark, all other comments agree. I don't think you're clown..in fact, you're not funny at all 😂
Your enthusiasm is absolutely contagious, and I am eagerly awaiting my all-in pledge as well!
@@TableTopTroubadour thank you and thanks for watching. It’s a wonderful game and I hope it gives you as much pleasure as it gives me.

You are getting me hyped for delivery of this game!
Wow, a very strong review of you to give this as your “favorite game of all time” !
thanks Mark! playing 2 handed is my plan as well. that cooperative 2 character element is key i think, from what ive seen.
I cannot wait for this to arrive! Thanks for the review to reignite my hype for it :D

@@dayoltay thanks. I was in no rush to get a video out which afforded me the ability to really spend time with the game over numerous player counts.

This was great, thanks so much! You’ve got my hype bar maxed out
Have the gameplay version coming and I can’t wait.
Great review!

CTG has amazing games. My favorites are Cloudspire and Too Many Bones!!!!!!! I think Elder Scrolls is going to be amazing!!!!!!!!

@@Johnny-qg3ll I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Thanks for watching and happy adventuring
I went all in and I am so excited for this.
Very nervous about this product. Great to see someone liking it.
Great review Mark 👍

Well, you persuaded me. I was afraid this game would be too similar to TMB. I wasn't expecting: better.-Toby
But can you take an arrow to the knee?
Great review, Mark.
Can't justify it until I've played all my TMB stuff. But looks great
Thanks for your review!

Wow number 1 game of all time ! What a surprise ! Thx for the great review. Did you also enjoy cloudspire ?
Very much so.
Love the review. We clearly share a lot of favourite games so it’s looking good I late pledged :) are you thinking this replaces TMB? Is there space for both games in a collection?
I’m definitely keeping both. Whilst there’s a shared DNA they do offer different experiences
I am debating whether or not to back cloudspire at the moment and get into that world as well for solo gaming. On the other hand Elder Scrolls should be around in a couple of months. Having played elder scrolls I'm curious about your opinion on a comparison to cloudspire.
Yeah I pretty much know that every other game is going to slowly be lost under a pile of growing dust once this arrives! 🙏
Uh oh, now I have fomo for not backing this!!
