When I was a youngster I would have been all over this. Sadly now an old fart that plays games with my Gen Z son, my ex wife and my friends wife. Not a chance this lot could get their collective bonces around this :(, easy to play 90 minuters for me
Highlight comment of this video “ - But if you do have the stamina of an in demand porn star…” 😂 I see you’ve decided to start using the longer version of the intro again. 😊 Not my kind of game personally but I did enjoy your video as always.
A great review, sir. I love this game. For me it sits in the same sort of place as the HexploreIt games or Xia Legends of a Drift System and I only play them solo. For whatever reason, my friends prefer games that are less sandbox / story telling affairs. How I’m friends with people like that is beyond me. Ha! I think my biggest regret with getting this is that I got the complete 2nd edition when I already had everything for the first and I really only got it just so everything would fit in the bigger box! The bigger neoprene map is very nice and def improves the game, but damn. I’m a bit more disappointed with this than I’d thought I’d be and I still have a 1st edition that I have no idea what I’ll do with. Cheers!
The game cost around $120 and with everything is around cost $203 game look good wish i hade the money even when I do have the many I most like wound like to get ummm Nemesis for like around $150 and with all the extra and stuff for Nemesis let just say $$$ I just if I am paying over $100 on a game I would like nice look game pieces
When you say ‘post-apocalyptic ameritrash monster’ you are in my wheelhouse. But after that my reservations creep in… First, it’s a Kick$hitter product with UK retail still in the future. Second, there are an awful lot of icons to keep track of and the player area looks a mess. Third, I would aim to play this in my group of 4-5 players and within a 2-3 hour gaming session which ain’t happening from what you say. I agree there’s much to like, but any game that isn’t going on the table is useless cardboard and plastic.
Recently got my copy. Makes a great solo adventure game which definitely helps on the game length. Still is definitely a longer game but we’ll worth it. I like being the Iowa City factions because it’s only about an hour from where I live. Great review as always.
Wow, so many praises, didn't know you could do that, I guess I have to put this game on my wishlist now! Shame the board looks like 🤢... too 80's for my liking, but hey, if gameplay is good then nevermind. Thanks for your review!
Response: We are talking with Zatu Games in the UK about distribution there. They will be buying our left over stock from the Kickstarter and should be selling the NEO mat on their website soon. Sean
Agree, the card management is a nightmare. It’s too bad. The app doesn’t help you track special abilities whatever a certain phase comes up.. we love the game, but players were getting frustrated by constantly missing special abilities strewn about all the cards.
Aw, damnit. It looked like a game I'd like, and then you gave it a thumbs up ... fxxk. And it looks like it'd be harder to get to the table than Arkham Horror. Great. Just fxxking great.
I'm sorry but the art direction on this has me running for the hills. It does remind me a bit of Defenders of the Last Stand though which is also a post apocalyptic game...
First time in the channel, I love it, so well done guys the editing the dialogue the straight to the point, liked and subscribed thanks for the awesome content.
Great review. I'm on the fence with this one. Looks good though. BTW, I now say the word "bollocks" all the time now and I fully blame this channel. LOL.
The theme of this game is right in my wheel house, but it's a tough one to find anywhere here in the UK. Also, the aesthetics are a bit weak for my tastes of Ameri-trash goodness. I managed to find a Collector's copy of Outlive at a price point that didn't require me to donate a testicle or my eldest child to seal the deal and, for me, it kind of scratches a similar itch even if the most generous assessment is that it is a flawed gem. I need to check and see if you have passed your jaundiced eye over that game.
OoO is the card stock quality good? Like i got Zombie Cats did not even play the damn game yet accidentally drop it on the bloody stairs and it the card got damage complete Bollocks for $25 at Walmart.
This game has random die rolls for how far you can move? Yuck! That is a sure sign of crap game design. I noped out of this video only 4 minutes in. Keep up the good work man!
As a native New Yorker, I appreciate your non BS reviews as well as the jab at the US in the video. A board game channel with balls , much appreciated
If I could give a hundred thumbs up for your commentary I would
It's bloody brilliant mate
This is the most punk rock channel in the Board Game world, I love it!
This. Best summation so far.

Hard pass I only have the stamina of an unemployed porn star
I don’t even think I could muster a hard pass with my stamina 😎
Just got it. Love it. Already making custom characters for it.

The only well dressed board game reviewer.
My definitive ameritrash game is camp grizzly...took forever to ship back in the day but it's still our favorite halloween board game.

I think you can just sell your first edition!
Which one will you prefer… hexplore or fallen land…?

There are variants to combat the length but what's the point in having one can of Stella when you can have 10
And who the feck is BigLardRinger? You had a little run-in with the scum at BoardGameGrift? Do tell.
I don't play this game.. I live it 👊
Oi M8! I gotta buy this! Cheers! Love your show M8! Kind regards!
Got this jewel. It’s amazing.
Thanks for the video. Not sure we could do this due to its length. Maybe house rules to lower the points for a win.
There are variants in the rule book
'If you go through a city it's going to cost you 3 movement points.' I see traffic hasn't gotten any better in the post apocalyptic age.
You don’t live where I do mate

Trying to get this game in UK is tough. Managed to get the main game but can't find anywhere that ships the Stitched Neoprene Mat

@mjesuiledemoisne7728 that’s great news 👍🏻
All just listed on Zatu

Have a copy of this and the descendants expansion in the U.K. - Waste knights 2nd Edition is superior in every way. Give that one a try!
Aw, damnit. It looked like a game I'd like, and then you gave it a thumbs up ... fxxk. And it looks like it'd be harder to get to the table than Arkham Horror. Great. Just fxxking great.
Hmmm... yeah thanks for this - ill give it a go. Thank for the usual quality review.
Love your content. Its refreshing. Keep it up mate.

I agree. I like the sound of this but the art for this makes it a non-starter.
@kevinbabb7004 the art really does melt away. The story the game creates is what it’s about
@@BoardGameBollocks If I ever run across someone with a copy I'd try it.

Sorry not sorry 😂
Great Review ❤
Cannot find this anywhere to buy in the uk 😢
You may have to get it from the publishers
@@BoardGameBollocks Got a copy after zatu imported a load in, still need decendents though
Hahaha, great review again, as usual ... interesting game indeed.

Haha. You did... after a fashion.
That board is WAY to brown to be looked at for hours...
I tend not to stare at anything brown for more than 5 seconds…
Pony up for the playmat, it's a beauty m' son!
Wish I got it now
OoO is the card stock quality good? Like i got Zombie Cats did not even play the damn game yet accidentally drop it on the bloody stairs and it the card got damage complete Bollocks for $25 at Walmart.
Yes it's fine
Right, how do I get this game in the UK?
Contact the designers at fallen dominion studios
cant seem to purchase in UK
Contact the designers Fallen Dominion Studios
Yes!!!! The stair is back!!!
Just for you mate 🤣
@@BoardGameBollocks Definitely appreciated!
This game has random die rolls for how far you can move? Yuck! That is a sure sign of crap game design. I noped out of this video only 4 minutes in.
Keep up the good work man!
Actually it doesn't. The for roll is a bonus movement so anything you get is just that...a bonus
@@BoardGameBollocks Fair enough. I'll give it another look.
Xia does dice for movement with decent mitgators in the Embers expansion and it works just fine.
