    I’d just like to tell you that for a while now, I’ve been listening to your reviews during my panic attacks because your calm, matter of fact voice is really good for grounding me and helping me get through it. Thank you.

      That is actually brilliant, I might need to try that now that finals are coming up.

    Seems like one of those games that would benefit greatly from a computer calculating everything for you.

      I used to go to a weekly board game night with friends.90% of the games they liked were like that. When the pandemic started, I was glad we switched to using Board Game Arena... then after a while, other people decided to switch to Tabletop Simulator, which to me is the worst of both worlds. (All the tedious counting, math, and rule-memorizing of doing everything by hand, plus all the technical issues and accidentally clicking the wrong thing of using a computer.) I quit participating shortly after that.

      @@naturesfinest2408 I liked BGA. We talked over Discord while we used it, and it was nice having the games keep track of things for us - not just the math, but also reminding us if we accidentally tried to do something out of order, letting us know that a move was against the rules, etc.

      Every game has manual state management. The more complex the game, the more state to manage and more rules to remember. This is appealing to some people. A computer runs it for them. Different strokes for different folks.

    Why does it feel like a game Ben Wyatt would make? Cubes of Dunshire

  • @0cellusDS
    @0cellusDS 2 роки тому +16

    It took me way too long to understand that every player gets their own city instead of building the same one.
    I kept wondering why different cubes are colored after different players for no reason.

    Fun fact about this game, there's a rule that says you can cheat as long as you don't get caught.
    So don't get too worried about the rules.

      I kick started a board game several years ago called cities up and that was the exact same problem I had with the final product. It involved a lot of blocks and they would just constantly fall over

    • @MattMcIrvin
      @MattMcIrvin 2 роки тому +5

      This might work better as one of those Lego board games. I could see a game exactly like this being played with bricks on a Lego board and nothing would ever fall over.

  • @dikkedorus

    I feel this game would've been great if the blocks were shaped and "clickable" so the construction would automatically follow the rules

    • @zacharyadler4071
      @zacharyadler4071 2 роки тому

      Clickables are annoying cause they make the game take so long for people to get things to click. Like if you’ve ever played Eclipse the only clicking part is the resource track but it’s the most annoying part of the game for me

    Whenever I am at my parent's house, I watch all your board game reviews while I'm walking my dog around the house, helps me get through the boredom of watching my dog keenly sniff the same corner of the yard that she investigated 4 hours ago. Board games are a hobby that I really want to partake in, but the friends I hang out with aren't very interested in really getting into them. My favorite reviews so far are the ones you absolutely love, and the ones you aren't fond of, as they get to showcase the differing aspects of what does and doesn't work in this type of space. Thanks for putting time and effort into this, these really are some of my favorite videos you do

    I can't imagine this would be all that fun to play. As you said, super fiddly, lots of tiny rules that interact with just one or two things, and then there's the whole part about counting your revenue which just seems like a headache. Definitely a candidate for a game that works much better if done through a computer than done manually.

    Yeah, that definitely looks more fiddley than it should be. If you're interested in a game that's kinda-sorta similar, you should check out The Estates! It's great for hitting that city planning itch with only a fraction of the rules.

  • @vizthex

    These rules are so restrictive. Honestly, it should be reworked. Trying to keep up with your explanations just made me zone out. I gave up on it. It's such a simple, but cute design. . . unfortunately, the rules (as you said) are non-intuitive. And the entire process is RNG. It doesn't sound like very much fun to play the game as intended by the developers.

  • @reddragonpress
    @reddragonpress 2 роки тому

    Based on what you said (haven't played the game myself), I have some ideas for changes that could be made to make the game simpler:
    - Instead of being in their own stacks, elevators have to go between cubes and count as the same cube type as the one below them (so you could have a stack of residential -> elevator -> residential -> elevator -> residential)
    - Parking garages are a different type of block entirely (maybe a gray block)
    - Yellow blocks can't have anything on top of them and are optional, but give bonuses for every block around them
    - Red blocks can be banked for later
