I play games mainly at 2P with my wife and we are definitely TEAM AGRICOLA. Love how tight the game is, where every single decision is not only impactful, but also cascades down to future actions. There is a certain amount of meanness to it that I really enjoy too. If we wanted to play a Uwe tile laying game, we'd go with Patchwork or New York Zoo instead!
@AllYouCanBoard
@AllYouCanBoard 2 жыл бұрын
Yup, that cascade effect is definitely more present in Agricola than A Feast for Odin. As for polyomino tile-laying, if you like Patchwork and New York Zoo I'd recommend Spring Meadow! Of all his lighter polyomino games, Patchwork and Spring Meadow are the two I enjoy most. - Carlo

Great video. I would say .. if you are gonna spend a whole hour comparing these two games (they absolutely deserve it!) .. but at that point I do think it’s fair to include the expansions in the discussion of which is ultimately the better game. Sounds like y’all haven’t played with Norwegians much but for me this is what places Feast as the clear number one. Team FEAST! That said when I think about which game I could play forever it might be Agricola as I think at a certain point Feast becomes more clear on what strategies are most viable (not there yet but I suspect this could be more possible since the cards are so much less relevant to the broader strategy). Thanks for the vid!
@AllYouCanBoard
@AllYouCanBoard Жыл бұрын
We haven't played any expansions for either game actually! Aside from some additional card decks for Agricola. But Dylann recently got The Norwegians finally, so we'll try it out soon. Sounds like your assessment of your short-term vs long-term enjoyment of both games could mirror exactly how I feel, it just so happens I've played Agricola over 150 times now and I've played Feast around 20 or 25 times. I've lost the urge to play Feast a bit (hopefully The Norwegians changes that) but I still absolutely love Agricola with every play. Thanks for watching! - Carlo

Gotta go with Agricola. The tightness of the game coupled with the game changing cards is unmatched. Although there is certainly room for both on my shelf. Uwe is the man.
@paulszki
@paulszki 7 ай бұрын
The tightness of Agricola is what makes it unpopular with my some of my more casual peeps (including my girlfriend) so Feast for Odin sees table time, while Agricola just kinda collects dust because people are afraid of having a bad time. Agricola, despite the inviting theme is very deceiving. People often think "oh I can manage my own farm and grow animals and stuff!" -> No, as a beginner you're constantly on the verge of starving and by the end of the game MAYBE you'll have something that resembles a farm but just when you start feeling good about yourself, the game ends. So to me Agricola is much more of a "Gamer's Game" (especially with the card drafting, which is really the way to play but everyone NEEDS to know how to play the game well) while Feast of Odin, despite the complexity, you can absolutely this game inflict even on new players. And even if comparatively they might be doing horribly, that will mostly be reflected by a lower score at the end but even the last player will have filled up most of their homeboard and an island and generally have accomplished some stuff and feel okay about themselves. Meanwhile in Agricola, a first time player who did badly might be lucky to not be in the negative scores.

TEAM FEAST The thing is... I don't own any of this game, nor have I played them. However, the name I hear once and again since I stumble into the hobby three years ago is A Feast for Odin. So many people have talked about how interesting and fun it is to play it that I just keep thinking about giving it a go. I thing however in this debate the thing that made me take this side is the idea of showing it to people. Because I like to play a lot with different persons, often times my favorite part is watching the spark in their eyes the moment they get a game and are 200% into it. I believe Feast might be one of those games.

Team Agricola! I love how every action you take in the game is basically crucial to the final result. The theme is perfectly combined with the tension of making your farmers eat during the ending of the plague. The game is incredibly variable due to the cards you will draft at the start of the game, therefore the long-term strategy will always be different in every game. I never played AFfO because I was always afraid of the big box...but I would love to try it! Love from Rome! 🇮🇹

If you've played Agricola, you have nothing to be scared of in A Feast for Odin. It's a more complicated game, but it's not more complex, if you know what I mean. There are more things to learn, but it's easier to play and make decisions throughout the game. But I totally agree with your comments on Agricola, especially the importance of each action and also the cards. - Carlo

Let's see, be a raiding, pillaging Viking, or a, struggle to feed your family farmer. TEAM FEAST, of course! Feast has so much to offer in a game; so many options. Agricola is a very fine game, but I prefer less cutthroat games. I'd never turn down an Uwe game though. He's a master of board game creation. Dylann, you hit the nail on the head. Feeding your Vikings is not as worrisome as feeding your family. The polyomino field below the Viking dining room allows you to plan ahead. It's actually one of the first things I do each round to assure it won't be a concern. Struggling to feed someone really stresses me out. There is additional material included in Feast, that details different aspects of Viking life which really enriches gameplay. Loved your debate. Very fun to watch!!!
@AllYouCanBoard
@AllYouCanBoard 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks Heidi! The theme of A Feast for Odin is definitely more intriguing, and you're right that feeding your family isn't as stressful in AFFO. There's just something about the way that Agricola all comes together, it just feels so satisfying and addictive. While I still love AFFO, I don't get that same pull to want to go back and play immediately. They're both still amazing games though. Thanks again for the kind words and all your support recently! - Carlo

There is no "heavy competition" for spaces in Agricola because you can't go after only one resource (unless you plan on losing). For example, a player blocked your sheep? Go for the pigs, and wait until the next round when the other player goes for the pigs, and you take the sheep.
@AllYouCanBoard
@AllYouCanBoard 2 жыл бұрын
I'm sure you understood the rules correctly, but it doesn't sound like you understood the strategy of the game. It would never really make sense to take 1 single sheep or boar in the round immediately after someone else took a pile of them. If someone goes to one of those spaces, then next round there's only one of that resource there, and if you're taking just 1 sheep or 1 boar with an action, that alone will probably set you far behind. I've never seen anyone do that and win. And your point about there being no heavy competition doesn't make any sense. It has nothing to do with going for one single resource, I think you misunderstood what I said in the video. Everyone needs REED to build rooms and renovate their house. Building rooms allows you to get more family members. So if you're not going for reed and you let your opponent keep getting it, you're pretty much guaranteed to lose unless you have an Occupation or Minor Improvement that helps you get reed in some other way. Similarly, if you're not racing for the first Family Growth spot to get more workers, you're probably not going to be in a competitive enough spot to have a chance of winning. - Carlo

I've played, have, and enjoy both. Prefer A Feast for Odin overall as I find there is more varied strategy you can employ. Carlo lost me at 26:09 when mentioning Terraforming Mars. If you are 2/3rds of the way through Terraforming Mars new cards should only be kept (as you have to pay to keep them) if they play heavily into your strategy and you can see them paying themselves off quickly. I will add that the issue you have with nothing to do with cards that don't play into your strategy in AFFO is fixed by The Norwegians expansion. It adds the option to get rid of an occupation when you could otherwise play it to score bonus points. I'd say it resolves most issues I had with the base game and makes it a more streamlined experience. If you haven't played it yet I highly reccomend it, I don't play without it anymore.

Fun discussion! I haven't had the opportunity to play either, but I posted earlier that I was on team Feast based on what I knew.. but after watching your video I'm switching to TEAM FEAST. I like the idea that the decisions you make have consequences.. some might call it 'punishment', but to me it adds enjoyable weight to the decisions you make. I also admit that adherence to theme is something that bothers me more than it should. I'd disagree that polyominos are inherently hard to incorporate into a them. You mentioned Patchwork.. but also Cottage Garden, Isle of Cats, Cartographers, etc are games the incorporate polyominoes well into the theme. I could imagine a version of feast where maybe polys placed on the island represented villages and roads, and maybe polys placed on a banquet table could be plates of food, etc. Great work!

Great video - I confess to being Team Agricola. Had this for a long time - first learned how to play worker placement on my own (self taught) with Agricola Family Edition so the whole series has a special place in my collection. I have also purchased A Feast For Odin, and am starting to get into this, but I still find it hard marrying up why a polyomino tile of a rock on an island means you don't lose points from a thematic point of view! The amazing wealth of extra cards that have come out for Agricola Revised Edition over the years has also helped replayability - maybe more will come out for AFFO in time as well (although there are a large number in the base game! Shame the money in AFFO is quite small and hard to pick up at times in order to place on your island/dining table ;-)

Good point about the money being so small! I've been playing on BGA recently so that hasn't been an issue. And glad to hear you agree about the theme. :) Still an amazing game though, of course. - Carlo

I think this is one of my favorite videos you’ve done. Thank you for this!!! Having not played either, and solely based on the video (and having played other Uwe games including Caverna, Hallertau, and Patchwork), I think Agricola will be the first of the two I will purchase (probably tomorrow). #teamagricola #lovethisdebate #opentobeprovenwrong

Definitely, but there are 2 reasons we went with this comparison: 1. Agricola is my #1 game of all-time, and A Feast for Odin is Dylann's #1 2. When we filmed this, neither of us had played Caverna yet. I've tried it a few times on Board Game Arena since, but we have yet to play the physical version together. We love Uwe Rosenberg though, so we'll continue playing his games and making videos about them. There's a good chance you'll see an Agricola vs Caverna video in the future and maybe a Caverna vs A Feast for Odin one as well. Thanks for watching! (Also, I love the Hobbes profile pic - classy!) - Carlo

In my opinion, AFfO is representative of the "modern day euro", with its focus on letting all players always do what they want, with little conflict or worry. A crowd pleaser for the masses that have joined the hobby in the last 5 years or so. But to me, that barely even qualifies as a game. More like a shared experience. Does winning or losing even matter if there was no competition? Agricola is on the opposite end of that spectrum. It represents what it truly means to be a good game. Players groan at moves you make. They have to rework their failed strategies. Wins feel earned and fought for. I'm happy that Uwe produced Nusfjord to bring back this tradition of design. It packs a lot of the same punch into a shorter, easier game. Of course, anyone that complains about (or enjoys!) how punishing Agricola is should have to play the game that inspired it: Antiquity, by Splotter. Not only is that game a marvel, but it is also one in which every player at the table can lose. And no, it isn't cooperative.

Excellent video, I was very pleased to see the comparison...as I have played neither. Even though Agricola my have a less appealing theme, I like the "take that" element in games in general...where you can do some strategic blocking, etc...I think that element is definitely a product of the games age. In our current world of participation trophies (where competitiveness and winning is "not fair for everyone")...I like that. I like to be rewarded for my creative thinking and planning in general. Also, just wanted to know what is hard to understand about a silver buying you a meal?...most people do this every week! The only thing missing, is touching on how both games solo (if at all).

It can be tough to get excited about Agricola because it looks pretty drab but you really have to experience it to get a feel for it. Not saying you have to like it, just saying it's a tough game to really understand how punishing and tight it is without actually playing it. That might not be your thing in board games though, and that's totally cool too. - Carlo
