They feature a lot of kickstarter games as paid promotions. Kickstarter board games can be really hard to get once the kickstarter is over.

@@Algous27 If the game is well-received when it's distributed, they may choose to do another production run (and then another, and then another). Once the company has enough cash to support a production run up front, they might end up being available direct from the publisher without going through Kickstarter -- but that's a lot of ifs and maybes to get through!

This is an absolute sleeper hit. I backed it, but I really hope it hits retail (I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to-maybe they mention that in this video, haven’t started it yet). It was a well handled campaign with the only KSE’s being component upgrades and won’t effect gameplay. I hope for online retail success for these guys.

@@mauriceoksman8594 we will have to agree to disagree...I thought it was a niche game unecessaarily complicated

skyblaze eterno, I respect how you put forth your opinion and I can totally see where you’re coming from-I’m not saying it’s going to be as universal a hit as Blood Rage. Keep in mind I’m talking about people attracted to this sort of hybrid game; I think you’re on the same page as me on that (ie, this is definitely not a sleeper for someone who prefers splendor level complexity and game style). To expand on my original comment, I think there’s something here bigger than it’s original attention garnished-a lot of that has to do with the company size and the saturation of the market. Back to your point in terms of over-complication, I do see it on the heavier side of euro than most hybrids, but no more complicated than the obviously euro marketed Barrage, that was highly anticipated-albeit again, by a different audience. I think this is one of those games that you need at least one ‘practice play-though’ to really get, not to mention the fact that I had to listen to the instructions video at 75% speed to even remotely understand the rules-IMO the host has a tendency to explain games SUPER fast, and one of my constructive criticisms for her would be to slow down. Although again, it depends how you learn-personally I learn best when I actually play it. I think this game will ultimately appeal to those who enjoy heavier games like those from MindClash Games (Anachrony, Cerebria, Trickerion), but also enjoy a rich theme. There is a push towards ‘Streamlining’ everything in games now because of the amount of games flooding the industry. Most reviewers are constantly overwhelmed by the amount of games that come out, so, understandably, they have low tolerance for what you refer to as fiddlyness...I think there are a lot of gamers like myself who’ve gotten over FOMO for the most part, and would instead play 1 good in depth game, than 4 light-medium games. So yeah, I think we’re both ‘right’-I think a lot of people will find this ‘too heavy’, but I think that with the right marketing and exposure that this game has enough legs to offer something to a lot of gamers. Not to mention the high production value for a small company. I also highly respect the fact that the campaign avoided the gimmicky route of offering KS exclusive gameplay material-all KSE were just component upgrades so I think a lot of people passed waiting to see how it panned out. The creator is played the long game by avoiding the quick buck associated with KSE’s. Creator integrity is highly important to me and I know it is to a lot of other gamers-I know plenty of people who outright avoid any game with KSEs just recognizing the ridiculousness of it all and what it has become. Ultimately he invested in gameplay-Hoping upon release, enough people would try it/see it and want it. There are some that will skip because of the complexity, but at the very least they’ll walk over to the table it’s being played because of its table presence alone. Then, I believe there will be those that fall in love with it, maybe not right away, but kind of like Raiders of the North Sea, where it took enough word of mouth and people playing it to realize there was something really special there, when originally all they saw was yet another Viking themed worker placement.

It means the game is balanced and doesn't make it impossible for newbies to win just because they don't know all of the nooks and crannies

Yeah it seems very very overly complicated for no reason at first; but after a few plays it flows nicely. It's not for everyone.

I’m trying to set it up still and don’t fucking get it?

It's because they allow creepy hipsters to gofundme make games. They need to stop these guys from creating these headaches.

I would like to know the very same thing....

It was a Kickstarter project that is coming to retail later this fall.

It was a Kickstarter... ended back last May

Well that sucks

@@christianwright5813 yeah... i accidentally on purpose backed it. Still haven't received it... soon though.

Maybe check out the court of the dead website? Or the sideshow collectibles site?

It was a kickstarter I backed it it will be to us probably April and then for sale soon after

Maybe it has something to do with KZfaq compensation (since you now have to watch 2 vids)?

didn't Taliesin make her a vampire in his one-shot? when Matt opened the door and went *poof!*

IDK vampires were involved, that's for sure.

I don't like games, with a lot of bookkeeping.

The quality of the smaller miniatures is very lacking. There was a kickstarter update recently that showed close ups and they look like someone melted the detail off of them with a heat gun. Everyone is extremely disappointed but it's how the game will ship. - TL;DR they are not detailed enough to paint.

yea they really need to put the how to play video in the description if they are gonna keep separating them hre's a link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNyGqt2az7enkYE.html

@@WardNightstone It actually _is_ in the description.🤷‍♂️

If the game is well-received, they may eventually do a second "printing" and sell it -- either retail or through a second Kickstarter.

@@bigdream_dreambig Hopefully. This game is really awesome

It was 8 months ago.

🙄 Creativity does not require drug use. We've lost too many artists (of all stripes) to that myth.

Who's the brave soul that's gonna go correct ultra Instinct shaggy?

U don't deserve to know, mortal.

Lol well that's what you get when you have hipsters make a game wanting something they think is "goth" cool. I barely got 10 mins in the video before seeing how boring it is. Same thing with Cthulhu Wars. Unfortunately I watched the whole video on that one.

@@nemomortis1866 jeez play more games besides monopoly, don't bring your toxic influence into this community with your "anyone who enjoys complex board games is a hipster" bullshit.

@@SaintMoonMoon and yet the person who bought the game even called it crap and you get on my ass because of a opinion on why these modern games are not profitable. Lol I play alot of games outside of monopoly. Including the real one that was stolen by Parker Bros. Lol

Do most people not have skin on their head?

I agree. That other female is cringe.
