It's great that they show games accessible to a lot of people, but I do wish (selfishly) that the players could get some sense of strategy before going on video - playing and not knowing what's going doesn't show the game well.
I love this game for my casual gaming group. It does a great job addressing bad dice rolls (have a stone) and losing a card (have a delver card). Great mechanics that keep everyone focused on the game.
KIRI!!!!!! I still think you guys need to do a vlogger reunion episode. Play a game with Kiri and Omar and Mia and Nika and Becca and JBI and Amy and Holland and, what the heck, Fly in Dael, Scott, Sachie, Paul, Teri, Vaughan, and Caitlin and get Akeem, Mitch, Katie, and Christina to drive into LA while you're at it! You can play a giant game of Werewolf!
This is one of those games I picked up for the cool art and haven't been able to get my group to play, so this was nice, thanks! Great bunch of hosts. Even if Kiri stole her catchphrase from Dr. Doe =P
Becca did the rules video. so she have read the rules before. And she has played a lot of board games, possibly the only actual gamer in the group. Have DexBonus/DexterityBonus/Dodger appeared on this show? She is part of the gang around the late TotalBiscuit and she was on Tabletop and is most definitely a gamer. I believe Dodger would have the upper hand on Becca in most games.
So if you roll a 1, 2, or 3 you get a gem from the card you are focusing on correct? Okay how come though, when you clear a card, you do not get any remaining gems still on that card?
@@Hapsasa Apart from the rules, the gem thing is to compensate for bad rolls. Did not quite catch what happens if the card was emptied of gems, do you get a random gem for a bad roll then? This adds another layer to the game, high rolls are used to get ruins, low rolls give gems that gives wonders.
There has to be a decent board game show with actual gamers somewhere on youtube. I am not dissing these person because of their gender, but because they are so obviously there to bee seen, not to play the game. In real life I have met plenty of female gamers.
I bought this game hoping my friends would be down to delve, but every time i bring it out, they find an excuse. :( Hopefully this video will persuade them otherwise.
Wil Wheaton got tired of making it after several years? He after all had some standards when it came to the quality of the games and the guests when it came to the board game aspects of the show. There might have been some jealouosy induced metoo garbage involved as well.
meh, yet another game that looks boring and guest stars that i have no clue of with Becca trying to, yet again, steal the spotlight. really considering pulling a Wil Weaton and unsubscribing
The game, to be honest, looks brutal and interesting. "Reroll any dice on a ruin", as in rerolling that 8 that is shown at 12:42, if "any dice" includes other peoples dice, which makes sense. If you roll low, you get wonder,s if you roll high you get ruins. Assume: Ruin worth 11. Another player has two fours on it from D6:s. You roll a d8: 1-2: you get a gem. but your D8 is locked up. 3: you get a gem, they get the ruin, you get a bonus power card. 4-8: You get the ruin, the other player two bonus cards. This is an odds calculation brain burner AP nightmare. And the dice still have the last say.

This was such a fun episode! Laughed throughout. This game is on my list now too.
This game looks great!! Buying it right now. This is the second show after TableTop that convinces me to buy a game just by watching

It is SO GOOD to have Kiri back on G&S, welcome home fam

Easy, natural chemistry in this episode. 👍

KIRI CALLAGHAN! Man, I miss the old G&S Vloggers.....
Antenox They'll always be with you... In your heart
Just looked for a review on this game and this just gets posted. The timing
Becca slapped them all silly!! LOL

ahhh It's Kiri. Is this the return of the glory days of youtube...
am i the only one who got both confused and annoyed when the music suddenly started midway through the video XD
Wasnt the only time, but considering how long it lasted it was somewhat baffling!
Chris Bullseye it also starts again toward the end maybe they hired a new editor or didn't quality control the video before it went out
"Things are going well for old Heather Higginbotham!"
These guests were awesome, and they should all be permanent cohosts.
So glad they finally got a new host of Tabletop.
LEEEEEEEROOOOYYYY WHEATON!!!!!
another good one.
I'm a simple man, I see Kiri, I stop!
Man, this is complicated. Remember Trouble? It had the bubble. Let's playTrouble!

Greg Putnam because the rules says so?

@@57thorns when card is emptied, the stones go back into the bag
@@akshitshrivastava4827 What happens if there are no gems on a card and you get a bad roll?
There are no gems to put back in the bag.
@@57thorns you draw a random stone from the bag
Did you get yoshi back?
5:14 Yoshi?!? ☹️🐶☹️
bring back tabletop!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I miss tabletop

8:40 well that was annoying...
I bought this game hoping my friends would be down to delve, but every time i bring it out, they find an excuse. :( Hopefully this video will persuade them otherwise.
So I thought I knew the rules until halfway through when the delver card changing a roll got a chip. Is that legit?
Yes.
Rerolls get stones. Modifier card results don't
Kiri is so cute and funny 😍
That dress during the teaching segment.. *drools*
JustWilward I'm not sure that you watched this whole video, as there was nothing soft about Becca! She was utterly savage :p
Becca sucks, bring back Wil!
Just curious, but what happened to tabletop? I'm guessing this replaced, but just curious why.
Why didn't the chick on the left get a yellow gem for her last one.. She could have built that tomb.. >_
It’s not MADNESS it’s MINING!
i didnt know you were coming back to g+s, kiri :O
#MinorMiners
Anyone know what happened to tabletop ?
Wil Wheaton got tired of making it after several years? He after all had some standards when it came to the quality of the games and the guests when it came to the board game aspects of the show.
There might have been some jealouosy induced metoo garbage involved as well.
First comment this is the best show on UA-cam.
All hot!
What's up with the porn music a couple minutes into the game?
Why does this channels hosts all seem 10 years younger than they probably are? Like talk to me like an adult!?
They're women, pretty self explanatory. Got to try and be cute, no matter the cringe.
and they usually are all some form of improv presenter type
Anyone else think Becca's eyebrows are especially on point this episode?

Free me in the twitch chat, woms is a meany

The channel uploads a lot of video.
Thrd comment
One day they'll play a game that requires skill and I'll finish watching an episode
A skilled gamer would have wrecked this table.
feminist version of CR? meh
If there were four dudes playing, would you say "Men's Rights version of CR? meh"?
@@wookieesden3133 Probably not, but if the were playing this bad no one would watch it at all.
So feminist is wrong, it is more of a boob version.
