Couldn't agree more! One more thing for me personally that is as important as Ambitions is posibility to go through Core Worlds to reach the other end of the map. It saves so much time and opens up whole another level of strategy to think about.

You are so right Veljko. Somehow I forgot to mention that at all in the review. 🤪 I think my brain was melting down at the point I recorded this. The Core World's are a great change. Thanks for watching!

Really enjoying your channel. I subscribed a while ago but hadn’t really watched much. That’s changed as I’ve enjoyed this playthrough before trying the expansion out and also your Merchants of the Dark Road video. Still deciding on that game but you may have pushed me over the edge! Excellent content, really well filmed, enjoy your pacing. Well done!

Thanks Mark! I'm really happy you enjoy my videos and my channel. Your sub and support really makes a big difference for a small channel like mine. Let me know what you think of the Outer Rim expansion once you get it to the table. I had a great time with that playthrough (and the several games I played to prepare for the playthrough). It really is a great game. Thanks again Mark and I hope you enjoy the other content on the channel.

Your comments resonate with me, and I'm right there with you--Ambitions can create tasty, thematic & situational moments, the AI improvements are rad... everything is just humming now with this game. I liked it at the start, but it's in my shortlist of favorites now. Regarding your comment on "optimal" play, I like making choices that suit the characters, perhaps play a bit against type, or really lean into a serendipitous story beat that adds a flourish of flavor. As you said, it bolsters the base game to what it could've been (I won't say "completes", as maybe we have room for moar?) When I think of the total cost I paid for both, I still find Outer Rim + Unfinished Business offers as much or more value to me than what pops up now on Kickstarter, Gamefound, Backerkit's new platform et al.. Cheers for your well produced review! Subbed.

Thanks so much Brian for the sub and support! I agree with you that a game like Outer Rim is a much better value than all the random crowdfunded games that seem to get so much money and attention. I do worry about the health of the hobby going forward. Thanks again for taking the time to comment!

”The base game is lacking” is the FFG trademark, which you commented on 10 seconds later 😅

@TotallyTabled Жыл бұрын

Yep, for sure. It is a business plan that is unfortunately catching on. Thanks for watching!

Well I got the base game from the nedz sale so looking forward to it and then probably the expansion since I watched this lol more money 💰 damn this hobby 😂

@TotallyTabled 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I hear you BAD. I would definitely play the base game a few times, because if you hate it then I'm not sure the expansion will fix it. More like it takes it from good to great and from lacking replayability to having a bunch. Thanks for watching!

Couldn't agree with you more. Unfinished Business is an absolute necessity for this game to the point that it's basically Outer Rim 2.0. If they every do an official second edition, the expansion should just be included in the base game since it fixes pretty much every issue that it had in the first place. FFG is known for fixing games with expansions, but this truly is like the second half of the game. Playing with 2 AI opponents is a blast as well.

@TotallyTabled 2 жыл бұрын

Ohhh, I need to try 2 AI opponents. That does sound fun. An expansion like this really makes you wonder if they are stripping out content from the beginning. When you play the expansion, you see just how incomplete the base game really was. How could they have come up with this stuff after designing the base game. It fits too perfectly. I swear I feel this way more and more -- mostly because I remember a day when not every game had an expansion within a year or two. But then again, as you say, FFG has been doing this for a long time. Oh well, Outer Rim is great now, so that is good news. Thanks Brandon!

@@TotallyTabled They did the exact same thing with the Fallout board game. The atomic bonds expansion feels like a module that should have always been part of the game from the beginning, if not the actual core of the game. I don't know that they are intentionally holding things back per se, but they may hedge on a game to keep costs down at first rather than produce something that's $100 right out of the gate, as a way to get people invested. The expansion model lends itself to that well as long as they come quickly. In the case of Outer Rim, I think unfinished business was supposed to release way earlier but the pandemic delayed it significantly.

That makes sense. It does feel as if the expansion should have come out sooner.
