Sagrada: How-to-Play and Review! (My #3 Most-Played Game!)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 чер 2024
- NOTE: Empty spaces in your window are -1 point each at the end of the game! (-3 points each if you're playing solo!)
Sagrada is a fantastic, abstract, family game designed by Adrian Adamescu and Daryl Andrews. This is a game I bought just about two years ago and it's been played over 70 times since! There's something so satisfying about dice drafting and the puzzle of completing your own personal stained glass window while fulfilling the placement requirements and going after the endgame objectives is wonderfully fun! Definitely a huge hit with my family... and I'm sure it would be a great fit for your family as well!
Let me know what you think of Sagrada... or what your favorite dice game is! (I'd have to really think about what my favorite dice game is... I mean, technically A Feast for Odin uses dice and it's my #1 favorite game right now, so... maybe that one? Otherwise, probably Teotihuacan!)

How to play in less than three minutes-including solo. Well done my man, well done.
Thank you, Mike! (When I was filming, the “teach” felt kind of long, but it was surprisingly short by the time I was done editing! More credit to the elegant design, maybe!) ⛪️
Azul, Splendor and Sagrada, all you need if you like puzzle games.
Three fantastic recommendations for sure! I love all three! 👍🏼 Have you played Harmonies by any chance? That’s a great new, abstract game that’s been a huge hit! I’ll be reviewing it tomorrow! 🦁
@@BoardGameDave Not yet, but I own Cascadia and Calico, also I'm not that much into 3D mechanics in board games.
For example Reef was not really my type of game.
Looking forward to your Harmonies review.
Sagrada is definitely in my top 5! Love that game!
It’s such a beautiful, peaceful game… until/unless it gets really confrontational! 😂 We haven’t played it in a while! Let’s get it to the table soon!
This is one game I really need to play great review excellent job!
Thank you, Rich! And it is an awesome game! If you don't have any friends who own it you should just get it for yourself! The solo mode is great and it's such a wonderful game to teach people who are newer to the hobby! Definitely well worth the money for sure!
New to your channel and gaming. You do a great job explaining how to play this game. Really enjoy your enthusiasm over gaming. In another video you mentioned your a teacher and would love to know what grade or subject you teach. Your passion for gaming Really shows . Looking forward to future videos.
Hi there, Eileen! Thank you so much for finding my channel and for the kind words; that really means a lot! I’m so excited that you’re just getting into board gaming! What games have you been enjoying the most so far? And yes, I’m an elementary general music teacher so I teach from kindergarten up to sixth grade! I’m currently in my ninth year of teaching full-time! 🎼 Thank you again for your comment; I’m so happy to have you on board!
I bought this one for myself for Christmas 😊😊 My hubby likes it too! (He has beat me EVERY time 🤣) The solo mode seems impossible to beat. Haven’t beat it yet but I’ll keep trying 😊. GREAT VIDEO and Review!! 😊
That's so funny; Hannah almost always beats me at this one! I wonder what it is that they have that we don't? 🤣 And yeah, the solo mode is very hard to beat... many other people have said that, too! I've only won one time in nine tries!
Thanks for your explanation how to play and your review. Our family and friends that are casual gamers, tend to like abstract, puzzle-like games. Azul and several of it’s versions are huge hits. Unfortunately, Azul is limited to 4 players. So, I’ve just placed the order for Sagrada and the expansion set. I think it will be a nice addition to the Azul collection, especially since player count can be up to 6 players with the expansion! And I will definately consider solo play too!
Thank you for checking out the video and for your comment! ☺️ I think you and your gaming groups will really enjoy Sagrada since it has the abstract, puzzly nature of Azul and even the drafting element, too! And with the private dice pools the game doesn't overstay its welcome, even at six players! Enjoy! ⛪️
p.s. The solo mode is very clever but it's also very challenging! I filmed a solo playthrough if you're interested in how the solo game plays! ☺️ ua-cam.com/video/DNWRtEFNmGM/v-deo.html
Very well explained compared to other explainer videos of this game. 👌
Thank you so much, Deimantas! I really appreciate that! ☺️
Can you do a video like this for Castles of Burgundy? Thank you!!
Hey there, Alice! Thank you for the suggestion! 🏰 I'll add it to my growing list of games to review somday!
Sagrada with the 5-6 player expansion is the best way to play it for any player count!
I do like the way it can speed up the game but cutting down on the drafting phase of the game! It is a double-edged sword though, because although you can see half of the dice that will end up in your display and plan accordingly, it feels really deterministic when you realize, “Oh, wait… where am I going to put those dice?” 😱 That’s how I felt the last time I played with the private dice pool!
@@BoardGameDave Going to be playing with 5 people this weekend so we will see how everyone likes it :)
@@GaryGiffin That sounds like so much fun! Keep me posted on how it goes if you can! ⛪️
I haven’t played nor own this game but I think the 2 actions you can do on your turn (favorite tokens & placing a die.) are optional. And every empty slot on your board is worth negative points.
Also, where did you see this game at less than 30 dollars? I seem to see it at online stores at 40 dollars.
Great video by the way!
Thank you so much! You are absolutely correct: placing a die and using a tool (by spending your favorite tokens) are both optional. And that is a really important point that I missed in my video: empty spaces in your window are -1 point each (unless you're playing solo, in which they're -3 points each). I really appreciate you pointing that out--I can't believe I missed that rule! I'll add it to the top of the description box right now!
I always use BoardGameAtlas to check out prices from various online shops and I'm currently seeing Sagrada on there from $24-30 through several retailers! Hope you can get yourself a copy sometime soon! ⛪
@@BoardGameDave You’re welcome!
Maybe it’s because right now the game is discounted on the websites, but it’s original price is 40 dollars.
@@fightingkitchen7960 Yeah, it looks like the MSRP is $40 but typically you can get games significantly cheaper by shopping around a bit! Like I said, BoardGameAtlas is where I start when I'm looking to save money on a game! 👍
@@BoardGameDave Interesting, I should probably look into it more. Thank you for the recommendation!
Absolutely! I hope you can find it at a good price so you can add it to your collection! It’s a wonderful family game! ⛪️
