It takes Sisu to give a review copy to the most honest (and ruthless) board game reviewer in yt. Such a great Finnish design, with the insert, all the great art and everything. Congrats to Sami Laakso! (Highly recommend you check out the movie 'Sisu', Luke)
Thanks for the solid review. I love Lands of Galzyr, it's world building, it's playability at different player counts and the quality of it's components. This is looking like a must buy for me.
Another honest review. Recently finally played my Pursuit of happiness big box, what a nice game, now I´m looking for the rest of the decks, from 10 to thug life.
good review luke, thanks! i'm preordering the game. got a question though: i think you sleeved your cards? do the sleeved cards fit the box, and if so, which sleeve did you use? i couldn't find the card dimensions anywhere.
I have Dale of Merchants and Lands of Galzyr. Was looking forward to trying this one out at some point because I love the other two. Thanks for the review!
@@TheBrokenMeeple just doesn't really do it for me, same reason I haven't played dale of merchants or galzyr yet. I'm also a bit over the anthropomorphic animals thing. Prefer either more realistic style artwork or almost like painting style (Dutrait, Bosley, Moriya etc)
I know it’s only a board game, and maybe I’m just sick to death of the continued portrayal of violence in the service of the marketing of games and movies, but am I the only one who is appalled by the theme of having one type of animals at war with another when, with a few exceptions (our close genetic cousins, chimpanzees, come to mind) it is only us humans who wage senseless war against each other? Just make the theme about men killing men, either in a fantasy setting or not, but leave the poor parrots and cats out of it.
How much time do you spend watching animals in nature? Here is an example: There is a continual war between hawks and black birds in my neighborhood. Blackbirds try to take the eggs or chicks from the hawks. Last year, a blackbird was able to get to the nest and take a chick, then flew above the road and dropped it, so it would die, and it did. This year, the hawks seem to have reinforcements. There are 4 hawks in my neighbor's back yard, protecting nests. They don't even let my neighbor in her own back yard, they keep swooping down at her. The war is real. Black birds keep watch on roofs of houses, waiting for their chance to pounce on the nests.
@@elqord.1118 Exactly. It was weird when Tom Vasel reviewed Dawn of the Peacemakers, how he was also putback on the theme. I mean, with all the war and division in politics around the world, we now truly need Peacemakers to bridge the gap.

Thanks for the review, Luke! Glad to see you like the newest game in our little universe. 😊
:-) Thanks for the chance to get in early! :-) Hope others get to try it soon!
I hope this goes retail in the UK!
That insert is genius. Love it.

I've heard of Sisu - I can certainly see the comparison! :P
Thanks for the review!

Glad to hear!
This looks super innovative!
It certainly is a very different thematic setting to most. Most games would have you battle as one side trying to win. This is truly a unique theme.

Great concept, very good board game. Everdell meets This war of mine in the best way!

i think they are standard card sized but don't quote me. I just use Sleeve Kings as always and yep, easily fit.

Please do!
Thanks for the video. Beautiful and very interesting game.
Thanks for the visit!
thanks for the review... love your work and effort... thanks a bunch...
Thank you!!
awesome game it’s been a while for a 9er
Never played Dawn of Peacemakers, this looks neat, not 100% sold on the art style, might pick it up at some point
Why not the art style?

An asinine take when this game of all games is all about making peace
