Great to see you “back”. Great review of a game I have heard about often but which I’m still in two minds about. Maybe it’s me but the theme, while fascinating, also feels quite depressing and too realistic. I am tempted though and I do solo Dead of Winter and play Robinson Crusoe from time to time so it can’t be worse than that for depressing theme :-). I hope you can post more in the future but we still have all your old videos to go back and enjoy. For example, it was nice to see a kindred spirit in the Roll for the Galaxy video. Thank you again for being a shining light in the area of solo boardgaming and, don’t forget, it’s only you and, if you’re lucky, an AI so you’ll be unlikely to argue in your games! “Open the pod bay doors, please, HAL.”
Thx for the uplifting comments. It is a darker game than DoW (I think, haven't played it in years) and RC, but at least as unyielding as RC. I enjoy how I don't spend much time, but just enough, reading through the scripts. It adds and yet doesn't take away from the game in perfect fashion.
Been eyeing this one for a very long time, but the theme...I just don't know. I'm afraid it'll put me in a funk. Anyway, great video as always, the quality is pretty darned sweet! I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season. Stay well, friend!
You as well! And yes, it might put one in a funk, but plays amazing solo. I just broke into the 1st expansion, super pumped as a reward for winning a scenario (there are 5) allows you to open an envelop and permanently add stuff to your base game. Clever, and a nice incentive!
@@boardgamerants as you said in your “It’s been real” video, you have found that you have gotten away from what you love most about the hobby, playing games and enjoying the moment (being in the moment). That is what matters most! Maybe you will find sharing those moments with us occasionally can still add to your overall experience. If so, great. If not, you are doing what matters most. I have enjoyed the ride. Thank you,
Had to try out the new phone 4K stuff. Notice a difference? A little clearer, perhaps? Didn't even mic up. Damn upload went straight to public, though, threw off my grove... :)
After your last video I thought it is better for you to not share your thoughts about solo boardgames with us all anymore. I was really feeling you in that video. I felt sad. I really hope you are feeling better and just do what you like to do and please do not feel the need of producing videos. I really appreciate your content. Greetings from Germany, Flo
Yeah, it's a pretty dark game. perhaps re-themed to an animal developing/protecting its den? Could work, probably attract more players. Cuz the mechanics are top notch.
I think so too - LOVE the video game but the thought of setting all that up to play alone sounds even less fun then cleaning out my closet or rearranging my living room. REALLY wish they would just bring out more video DLCs

So good too see you back. I love your delivery style.
Always appreciate content from you! All the best :)
Thanks for coming back:)

Great to hear from you ! Everythings oké ? Many thanks for this review !
Good to see you back… Excellent review as always.
Another top-notch review... plus the quality is just outstanding!
I wanted to wish you a safe and Happy New Year! Take care.
To you and yours the same, SBGK. I'm currently compiling a top 10 list, hoping to get a video out relatively soon, take care!
@@boardgamerants That’s awesome! I’m actually looking forward to watching it!
Great game , I haven’t played any of the expansions , what do they change in gameplay, great to see a new video from you .
I just picked up the first expansion. Just looks like more of everything. I'll take it! :)
Welcome back!!!
Alright! Nice to see you review a game! Hope you’ve been good
I have been, thx. Just gotta find the right balance in things. There is always the win win somewhere, right? I appreciate your support.

@@dennisbowe9535 this is the challenge. It's always about mutual benefit for me. I have to find the balance. And I will.
You’re back!

@@boardgamerants It does seem more crisp, and autofocuses quickly between different depths!
@@boardgamerants yeah the quality is great! Thanks for the video, excellent as usual!!

So glad to see you back. Not sure this is the right game for me though. It's a bit too bleak.
Yeah, it's a pretty dark game. perhaps re-themed to an animal developing/protecting its den? Could work, probably attract more players. Cuz the mechanics are top notch.
As awful as this is going to sound since Ukraine started I really want to play this game again
just from seeing a million different cards on this board i already lost interested in the game. man this thing must take ages to set up...
I think so too - LOVE the video game but the thought of setting all that up to play alone sounds even less fun then cleaning out my closet or rearranging my living room. REALLY wish they would just bring out more video DLCs
