    Oh my gosh, at the end of the vídeo, when you sing "azul, subscribe", your pronunciation of azul was a hell of a good portuguese pronunciation of anything.

    I found you because of your review of Battle for Rokugan (I'm a new Legend of the Five Rings fan), and I thoroughly enjoyed your style even if your review of the game turned me off of it (by which I mean I don't think it's the kind of game I am looking for, especially in an L5R game). This being the second review of yours I've watched, I am quite hooked. You two have an absolutely marvelous sense of style and humor.

      @user-iu5fb5hu9n 3 роки тому

      That's what stood out to me... Y'all still have lime in your Starburst candies in England? I knew it - there was an anti-lime conspiracy when I was kid here in the US. Lime was removed from all my favorite candies - Starburst, Skittles, Sweet Tarts, Runts, Lifesavers. Either eliminated or replaced with green apple. Really? I need to write my senator or representative and get an initiative started to bring back the Lime.

    Have azul,came here to see if our taste matches.
    AND I COULDNT F AGREE MORE.
    I really find it one strategy game,with the main fun existing in screwing your friends.
    I currently try to expand my collection and move on,but my play group is too casual,advise needed to lure them out of Azul.
    Tried pandemic(disaster),catan(they actually like,but ive bored of it),wingspan(that kinda worked,they play,but they cant pull combos yet,they cant see them).

      Catan has always felt like a franchise that would bore me which is why I never gave it a chance. It feels like it's a victim of the natural advancement of game design. It achieved a legendary status in the pantheon of family games for its time and probably influenced it's fair number of designers of some modern day favorites but, to me, personally, it feels very static and clinical.

  • @keseph7749
    @keseph7749 6 років тому +4

    I didn't get the pre-Essen hype around this game. And maybe I should feel a little more curious about it, being Portuguese and actually being a fan of abstract games, but it still doesn't generate any curiosity. I'm sorry to say, but this is just another game, from what I gather. Good if you're new to abstracts, if you are trying to get an abstract game to your abstract depleted shelf or if you are just a buy it all collector who's trying to push the 1000+ games mark.
    By the way, I really like your work. Keep it up!
