Thank you for reviewing this! If I'm not imagining things, I asked about it on a previous episode... I think it's pretty fun for what it offers, it's easy to explain and also a great way to end friendships. As always, thanks for your videos - and have a nice weekend.
Came across your videos a while ago (can't remember which) and really liked your content. I must have forgotten to subscribe. Glad I came across you again. Video liked and subscribed.
For a wee second I thought this was about a game I've been trying to remember the name of for years. That game is simple. There's a maze(like) and a stack of tasks. Each task says "figure out the least amount of moves from point a to point b". A move is a straight line and you have to continue that move until you meet a wall. Each player has to figure out the least amount of moves in their mind, ones someone thinks they figured it out they put down a timer, mention the amount of moves and other players have until the timer runs out to propose a better number. Then they have to show that route. If they can they score the card, if they don't "bidding" starts over. Cool little mind training game. If only I knew what it's called.
That was a voyage of discovery for me. I had never seen or heard of this game, although abstracts are not a big thing for me, so I probably would not have been looking for it. Not for me, but well worth bring to public attention for others.
@@BoardGameBollocks Jack Burton is Kurt Russell's character from the film Big Trouble in Little China. He's a bit of a cock who muddles through life with barely a clue but occasionally, just occasionally, has moments of clarity and success. I felt a kindred spirit and, not withstanding that, the film is a blast. One of John Carpenter's very best.
Lack of strategic depth? Hmmm, I'd have to disagree with you there. I feel like there is an incredible amount of skill involved in order to determine the best offensive and defensive wall placements. Wall stringing is as mentally stimulating to me as most chess games. Would you be willing to settle this debate with me on a friendly best out of 5 online match? Loser concedes opinion? I'd love a good natured challenge!
That’s just it…Chess isn’t mentally stimulating as it’s just a series of pre determined ‘best moves’. I don’t play video games so I’ll have to politely decline your offer 👍🏻
Sallright, but I have never been tempted to buy. There was a plastic version in the 80s called Cul-de-Sac by Lazy Days which some people claimed to use to lay out dungeon corridors. weird or what?

Cheers Michael. 👍🏻
This world can never have enough references to Cube. Fantastic movie.
Great vid. Cheers.
great review - ! tempted to try the 4 player - seems like a nice bit of fun tho
four person when people are strategic and gentle, is incredible. PRO TIP: save your walls!
I like your idea, this needs a Cube retheme. Maybe if your pawn gets trapped in a corner it gets cut up into little dice. 😎
There’s a game called Room 25 that does just that.
Solid criticisms and an apt summary. Well did. Any chance you'll review Quarto next?
If I decide to grab it. Don’t have it I’m afraid.

I think the game is called Ricochet Robots? Melts my brain every time.
@@petermillen6924 YES! That's the one thanks a bunch 😄
I really like this one!
Word up!
never knew about this game

One question. Who is jack Burton

Last saw it in the 80s…would explain the brain freeze

The new game in the series, Qawale, looks like a lot of fun. I was thinking about snagging Quarto. Have you played it?
No mate. Just this one…although some of the others look tempting.

Nutters…
Wha do you mean, still worth it? Is chess still worth it?
I mean is this game still worth playing…how hard can that be to understand? 😐
