Thanks. Been busy with work lately but hope to get filming a new episode soon.

I've reviewed the first 2 Jurassic Park games but haven't gotten around the the third one yet, but it is sitting near the top of my pile!

I didn't know that, thanks for the info!

Thanks. Not at all stolen from Buzz Lightyear....

@@AtticRaidersRetroReviews To Battleball and beyond! I picked up a copy after your review - now to get it to the table in a 2‐player session… Despite being told, I was unprepared for the sheer size of the board - that and the sculpted figures should make for quite the impressive setup.

I thought the same, but actually my wife really enjoyed this one!

It's on my list!

Agreed. That's what I tend to do too.

The pre-painted figures are great!

Thanks 😁

Yes, I am still looking for a replacement ball. Check out Twitter.com/AtticRaiders if you wish to get in contact. :)

Sent!

I've not had trouble with stickers, but I find Pritt Stick or any other glue stick is the best for gluing them back down on any game. When I bought my copy at a carboot sale (50p!) all the dice were missing so I bought replacement ones from eBay in the correct colours, so that'll be why they look different. :)

That's from the Lightyear toy range!

Well, even though I'm no designer I do enjoy discussing design so I hope you won't mind if I jump in here. (Disclaimer: I don't own this game, have never played it) First off I agree, the board feels unnecessarily huge, but at the same time some of the potential move numbers are huge, and a more compact board would likely go hand in hand with less figures, which in turn would make tackles more painful. As a lighthearted kids game I can see the benefit of having a big enough stack of figures that losing a handful doesn't feel too bad. I think it could be done, but I think a lot of tweaking the dice and odds would have to go along with it. Regarding the idea of rolling all the team dice at once, well, it would be interesting to see how it works in practice, but I'd be worried about a couple of things. Given this is a kids game (or even if you choose to look at it as a beer and pretzel game) I think longer turns would be best avoided. The fast and simple back and forth with minimal downtime is, I think, a very valid design goal here. It would also complicate things as you'd now have to keep track of which figures have already moved on your turn, which only gets more complex as you could be resolving multiple tackles, passes, and handoffs. Not necessarily desirable for a kids game or a beer and pretzel game, too much information to track. Plus it could potentially open up some cheesy strategies involving chains of passing/handoffs. Plus, if you're moving your entire team every turn, getting tackled puts you at a bigger disadvantage than would be the case otherwise, as you're now activating fewer figures than your opponent every turn, increasing risk of a landslide runaway victory. Just my 2 cents :)

Some good points from both. I agree with @Qualjyn that the one per turn does keep both players in the game - one of the reasons I've stayed away from Warhammer is the long downtime between turns waiting for the other player to make all their moves. There is a V2.0 set of fan rules on Board Game Geek that allows players to move 3 figures per turn (which seems a nice balance between the two views) which is apparently a great way of playing the game, but I haven't yet tried it that way myself.
