There's something about the way that the two of you introduce each game that made me always click away after the first few seconds. It wasn't serious enough for me and I though it's going to be both of you explaining the rules which for me would be confusing. Thank God there's no other rules explanation out there for AFFO so I stuck around this time. This rules explanation was AMAZING. Great great stuff. Keep working on your intros guys, there might be others like me out there. Liked and subscribed!

I have only played one game of A Feast for Odin, and, oddly enough, I didn't end up in the last place! :D It was a four player game, one player owned the game, other two haven't played AFFO but did play Caverna so they were familiar with how the game should work, and for me it was the first exposure to this type of games. I didn't go for pillaging, plundering or raiding, neither did I settle any island, as I was focused on filling up my main board properly. I managed not to lose points on that and I did have one house on the side, but that was it. Like I said, it surprised me that I didn't end up in last place. This game is amazing, I absolutely love the amount of tokens in the game and the number of different actions you can take. Even if someone blocks you (and we played very competitively) there's always something to do, something to upgrade or gain and fill up that board or at least make sure your Vikings are fed :) Pity it's so expensive to be added to a home collection just to be played occasionally :) Many thanks for the video, I've now refreshed my knowledge of this game and next time I'm asked to play I'll go for ships and islands :D

Haha you should believe in yourself more! That sounds like my first game too, too scared to go to get island etc. Thank you so much for sharing that, and your lovely comment. If you haven't already done so, also try to play with The Norwegians expansion, its really good! xx Stella.

Actually there are couple of boardgame shops in Jakarta, my husband took me to a boardgame shop in West Jakarta called Toko Board Game and we played couple of times there and even make new friends and bought this game in your video from the same shop haha, the reason we chose this game is because initialy I want to buy Caverna because of many cute animals in there but finally my husband and I reached compromised that Odin also have many 'cute' components inside lol, hence we ended pick this. There are also board game shops in Kelapa Gading, Tebet, and Bekasi. Yes, Jakarta is cleaner and more pleasant to see now, and Bali still beautiful but more crowded because of tourists.

Very helpful, AND informative. I did not know if the 'k' in 'knarr' was pronounced or silent. Here's why I was confused - I've known two Knutsens in my life; one pronounced his name with the 'k' (K-NUTE-son), the other without ("NUTE-son). Hence, I had NO IDEA.

@MeepleUniversity 4 жыл бұрын

Both could be considered correct, I think. English/Anglicisations will drop the k, continental languages will pronounce it. Given the theme, it felt more natural to pronounce it.

Greetings! First of all, thanks a lot for the amazing video! I have a question about tile laying during the feast phase: you mentioned that the first tile of a specific food type can be placed horizontally, while the rest should be placed vertically. However, there is no such requirement, if I'm reading the rule book correctly. In fact, the image accompanying this rule explanation shows the first salt meat tile placed vertically and the second one horizontally. Am I missing something here? :)

@MeepleUniversity 3 жыл бұрын

Hi. Strictly speaking, I wasn't quite correct; it would have been more correct to say that the treasure chest could have prevented the loss of nine points, rather than being worth nine points in its own right.
