      And you're a total sheep, who simply regurgitates the same old typical comments. What...couldn't come up with anything better? Hoping to relate to me and everyone else, by spitting up a sub par meme maybe?
      So let me get this straight...you literally waltz your ass into the comment section and decide to post this garbage without even giving what you say the proper thought beforehand? Perhaps maybe something with a little dignity? You know, something that says you have intelligence and a modicum of creativity? Thought provoking? No?
      Of course not...because you are a sheep...and you suck. If you can't take the time, why even comment?

    The more I see of this, the more I'm happy I backed it. I'm definitely excited by the thought of a dice tray.
    One thing this video shows me is that when everyone knows how the game works, that it moves pretty quickly. And it seems pretty forgiving with the dice -- it's not about the rolls themselves, but how/when to use dice. So cool!

    @mattmatier5745 5 років тому +12

    Looks like a great game! I'm going to back on KS for sure. One comment I'd make on the video....I think i like the format of having the full rules at the beginning instead of jumping to videos all the way through. It lets people who know the rules skip the intro rules sections and just enjoy the gameplay! Either way I enjoy watching you guys!

    • @nightcatarts
      @nightcatarts 5 років тому

      I prefer having the rules in one lump too, but for a different reason: It can make any audio level differences less jarring if the volume only changes twice.

    • @SpydersByte
      @SpydersByte 5 років тому +3

      The problem is when the rules sections gets too long people start getting lost and forgetting things. She only splits the rules up when they're either very long or very complex. Also, if you already know the rules, that's what the -> arrow button is for, it skips the video ahead by 5 seconds per click so I find clicking it a few times is easier than scrubbing through the timebar with your mouse trying to find where the break is.

    • @orochifuror7148
      @orochifuror7148 5 років тому +1

      Looks like it has a lot of character and a modest amount of replay-ability. Far too many pieces though, lose a few of them and could be rough to play. Also far too complex to just jump into it, the chance of playing wrong is very high with all the things going on. I think this would make a fantastic digital game like Armello, I really hope the devs think about that. Being able to play board games online with other people is amazing.

  • @GrumpyWasp

    I hope the audience enjoys this stuff! The game looks sweet, and who doesn't love Mercer??? Becca is a decent host, and the production crew is knocking it out of the park...But this just isn't Table Top. It's completely subjective, and you're all allowed to disagree, just like I'm sure some people love Sushi, BASE Jumping, or Crocs.
    This episode has shown me something about myself, so I don't want anybody thinking I'm shitting on the show. It has almost everything I could've asked for; but Wil Wheton, and the energy he brought to this style of content is what brought me to G&S(along with the Guild) and rekindled my childhood love of playing games down at the FLGS. So for me, whether it's the music, or the pacing, or the last bits of bitterness over the G&S/Alpha transition, Game the Game hasn't been able to convert my viewership. But you get my like, my engagement and some sponsor $ for the view count!

    • @SheezyBites
      @SheezyBites 5 років тому +8

      It's not even that simple, you've got to design 2 distinct complexity curves; one across the first game so that it eases players in to using more complicated rules, and one across multiple games as players get more familiar with the rules and plumb the depths of the system.

    I love this game so much. I've had the chance to play Tidal Blades 3 times with one of the game designers and it's been a blast each time! The first time I played it over a year ago, it was just printer paper and a bunch of borrowed borrowed meeples. My friend and I were shocked how much we loved the gameplay when it was in such a rudimentary stage. It's been so neat watching the development of it. I loved seeing other people I think are awesome enjoying it also (especially Matt-critter here)! I can't wait until this is released!
    As a D&Der, I think I just love rolling dice.

Thematically: the judge roams randomly to prevent people from faking it for him, but you can get leaked information to know where hes going

    As nice as this game looks, it seems like each new component and rule was added to fix an existing thing. Like, instead of rebalancing the ideas that were really strong and fun, they'd add a new stack of cards or a new just-in-case condition. I'm really interested in trying it out and I hope it's much more cohesive in person.
