Much better unboxing than the amateur one I did on my channel! I did mine to share with a couple friends and I was shocked that almost 600 people checked it out. Anyway, I bought unassembled, thinking I could leverage my car model building skills from high school. 20 hours later, I'm about halfway done and questioning the sanity of that decision. However, looking at the models in yours, I do see that I'm spending way more time than Archon did. I notice they didn't file or sand a lot of the sprue attachments down and at least one of the models didn't have the foot pressed into the base all the way. I guess the perfectionist in me is now glad I went with the unassembled version. We've played twice now and have enjoyed the game quite a bit--thanks for covering this!
Event cards: The game is more deterministic in that you see all patrols and spawns and even what will come when the alarm sounds, so you can plan around that better. These events are the wild cards that screw up your plans :)
Ironically, I had minis from their unicast and HIPS for Wolfenstein and directly compared them and the HIPS were sharper in several areas. At their time, the resin minis were outstanding, but technology always improves :) Just look at KDM minis from 2015 and now and you'll see the improvement.
I am confused, is this the kickstarter or the retail edition? Because you mentioned that you did not back it. Because, for retail this looks expensive and awesome
Keen to hear your thoughts on this, I played it solo a few weeks back. It was pretty fun :-) Word of advice, don't forget those damn Officers and their infernal re-roll skill ;-)
Loved the original Wolfenstein for PC. Ya... I'm that old. And totally hoping this game will do it justice and be just as awesome. (Disclaimer: it was awesome for its time. Trust me)
I think burncycle, is more accessible then Too Many Bones. I really love too many bones, but their is always confusion with my player group and a learning curve for each of the characters.
I enjoyed the 2009 Wolfenstein, but it definitely seems like Bethesda’s Wolfensteins are better games, so I should probably get them for my Switch someday. To wit, it doesn’t surprise me that the manual would be highly visual for those of us who are not primarily board game players. 🙃 Also, I’ve mostly had Swiss Army Knives, but I did have one of CRKT’s weeb knives, the Hissatsu folder if I recall correctly, and it was pretty nice. And, on the subject of some assembly being required, I’ve got the 1/144 Gundam American Type some months back to give me something fun and kitschy to do on the 4th of July. 🙃
Funny they are asking those of us that back assembled to now that $15 store credit to get non assembled . With no time frame you must be lucky to get a copy.
I wonder how this will fare against Reichbusters. But from some first reactions I'd guess Wolfenstein is probably not quite worth it, typical Prodos/Archon stuff..
Hands down Wolfenstein is the better game IMO. I did a versus video on it I think? IMO, Wolfenstein will change a lot of attitudes of Archon as a game developer. I look very forward to seeing it's final state and hearing what Alex thinks on it.
"This" is a point on the back of the knife for breaking a window.
Thanks!
I have no interest in this game, but I really like the ramblings to the point that I watch the whole videos lol

Thanks a lot! Can't wait to see your impressions of the gameplay :D
I bought assembled and it came unassembled. No idea when I'll ever have a chance to put it all together. My pet project for the next 3 years probably
Oh that sucks sorry
Mad props for taking the phone call in video. Imma fake a phone call with you during a future unboxing, mark my words. :D
I'll take your call anytime :)

Anybody else here a fan of Wolfenstein going all the way back to the Apple II?
I played the original, but not on apple
According to John Carmack (the original creator of the game) B.J Blazkowicz is polish and of Jewish descent
Oh nice!

I'm excited for their upcoming Heroes III boardgame.
Yes!

I can't wait to hear your thoughts about the gameplay - I've been hearing a lot of negative opinions on this one
This Tuesday :-)
Nice unboxing video I wonder how this board game will feel like the video game

So am I :) running around the entire castle hitting every wall hoping for a secret passage

What did you think of Nemesis Lockdown?
I think that I should probably table it :-)
Love the shirt!
Thanks :)
Kinda sad that there wasn’t any Zerstörers or Zitadelle figures, that would have been cool
Yep, absolutely
They wouldn't sell it to me, I live in Germany.
Ah that makes sense. That's Germanys laws, not theirs. (I believe)
Is that a windshield breaking tool? I have no idea if it has a official name.
2 years jail if your caught carrying that knife in public in Australia. Looks cool though.
Ouch, good thing I'm not in Australia right now

I preferred the older video thumbnail :). This one is good too though.
Lol yep

Sorry!
