Thanks! Hope your game comes soon!!

Really nice to hear, thanks for the feedback. It means a lot!

I have seen this house rule mentioned and I do like it, for sure. It helps without having to point and such - I often find I want to elaborate though. Like "I think we should play X here because we might want Y in our next region" as opposed to just "I think we should play X". In one particularly frantic game my ally same i ended up leaving the room to discuss stuff!! But that obviously grinds down the speed of the game so it's not a recommended solution, haha

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate the support

Thank you. Really glad you enjoyed it and hopefully get to continue to do so! :D

Thanks very much, appreciate the kind words ☺️

We have, and in our experience it plays out exactly as you would expect! Nothing really changes - the game just carries on. In a tight game it might be more impactful because the lower players might have a chance to take the lead, but haven't experienced this scenario ourselves to comment there. This is why I like the merge - it shifts the game and adds a new variable at that point!

@@BoardDownUnder that’s good to know. I used the merge once in a 3 player. The merged players lost considerably. But had a lot of fun, and the unmerged god was extremely nervous of us, especially being able to do whatever actions we wanted.

Sounds like the leader must have been off to a cracking start! But also sounds like everyone had fun though is the main thing, haha. Good to hear mate

Thanks for the feedback ☺️

Glad to have you on board! We have a wide taste in games, but hopefully some of the content is up your alley! :)

That's terrific feedback, thank you! Glad you enjoyed it

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed

Thanks a bunch mate! :) Glad you enjoyed the review :)

Thanks very much, I did have really high hopes for the merge which potentially added to my disappointment with it!

It's not just you. :-)

Thanks mate. I replied to oerthlings comment around theme, but didn't actually add much new input, haha. I can certainly see how others might disagree with theme, it just didn't resonate with us

Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed. We (I, Jake specifically) tend to ramble a lot if left to my own devices, so we've been trying to find a balance between getting trying to get concise information out and just sharing our rambly thoughts! :)

You are more than welcome. Thank you! Glad you enjoyed your game - hopefully most your friends will enjoy it rather than a complete split! haha

Thanks mate. Super motivating to read a positive comment like this! :)

Thanks so much, Brian. We're also glad you've found the channel, haha! Your feedback has been fantastic to read :)

That's very high praise. Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. :)

Hey mate. Unfortunately we haven't played Kemet so can't really comment. Would love to give it a try though, and if we do hopefully we remember to post back here! ;)

Thanks for the positive feedback! Glad the jokes were on the "good" side of corny. Sometimes the line of 'flat out lame' and 'funny lame' get blurred for me, haha. ;) If you want to elaborate on what areas of the game you might have concerns with, we might be able to shed a little more light on those areas for you?

@@BoardDownUnder Hi there. Thanks for your reply. I think I am going to love the game. But I am not sure about my wife and kids. They surprisingly loved Blood Rage. Surprisingly, because there are no other games we have similar to Blood Rage that they enjoy. I am just not sure if I can get them past the learning point where they learn the fun strategies that can be employed. I am wondering what difference the pharoah expansion adds, as this might be something that draws them in.

​@@yankeejer Unfortunately we didn't pick up either the pantheon or pharaoh expansion, so that is definitely something I can't comment on. I can say that I've introduced friends to this that haven't been strategy gamers, and they have enjoyed the experience. The game itself is streamlined enough that I think most can "just play and have fun" without worrying about strategy. It's harder to do that if one or two in the group know the game and have learnt some strategy, but if your family is primarily playing the game together there's a fair chance they'll learn together and be over similar skill level, which is where this game shines. You could hedge your bet and just peel open the core game for 1 or 2 plays and see if they enjoy it. The resale value you have on the unopened expansions will still be high, you might just lose some $ on the opened core box if it's a miss for them

This is really interesting!! We don't mind the game how it is, and tend to play without house rules as such just because I like to think the designers have done a better job than we would, haha. But we might actually give this a crack just to see how it feels. One issue is in a higher player game you would actually run out of figurines, so you either need a completely different guardian at that point or a substitute figure. Either way it sounds like something to try!

We house rule It so that ONE copy of EVERY Guardian is available in the game. Less variety between playthrous, but nobody ever get without a Guardian. And nobody has the same Guardian, so they feel more special when you get then hehe

Thank you, mate. Glad you've enjoyed the content! You're right, it is a real shame we don't have the the expansions to play with as I'd love to do full coverage on the game. I'm sure other content creators will fill that hole, though :D Thanks again!

Haha, we should have done this just for the entrainment value!!
