I love Inis and found the rules no problem. It’s probably one of my favourite games. For player count I actually think 3 is best. It’s a beautiful game at 3, which very few are. It’s elegance is in its simplicity so I think the addition of monsters and the rules overhead with them would spoil it a bit. The monsters are in the epic tale cards - which are hidden until you use them. Finally I think it’s one of those rare games that it’s impossible to play well on your first (or even second or third) outing. Unlike most games where you can usually play tolerably well the first time and have fun, but quickly grows stale with subsequent plays. Inis doesn’t. It’s all in your opponents. And is highly interactive which is the feature of a game I value most -and again is a bit of a rarity.

Love inis, my favorite 'dudes on a map' type of game. Expansion arrived today. Great review, I hope this channel takes off.

Inis has become one of our go-to games. Its great!

Interesting review. Personally your comparison to some other games and mentioning its missing monsters etc is very strange. It's ultimately a card game at its core with area control. Totally refreshing take on the usual dudes on a map repeated drivel.

“Suffers from a lack of monsters” is such a weird strange negative comment to me. The epic tales do crazy things. Why do we need monsters, and why is that a disappointment?? I could see that happening, but I hardly see it as necessary. Not all movies are westerns, not all area control games need monsters. Nice review, but heavy disagreement here. I like all those other games too, but this may be my fave of all of them after my first 2 plays.

I found I love your reviews even if I personally not allways agree and even have a totaly different opinion but I allways follow your reasonings and respects your honest opinions. This makes your youtube channel one of the best imo, cause it challenges my own opinions. And gives me valuable information if I am curious about a game if it is for me or not. So, happy new year to you and yours!

Just got inis and the seasons expansion. Looking forward to it hitting the table. Was kind of attracted by the lack of monsters after blood rage/kemet etc, but I guess I'll have to wait to play it to see if it works for me with the omission or not. Interesting review.

If anything, the absence of « game-breaking monsters » is a plus, as it helps differentiate the game from its competition. Besides, mythical events cards fulfill that role. I don’t see anything lacking here. Inis goes for elegance and restraint. You have all the these other doam games for tacky extravaganza. I do agree that the expansion feels unnecessary.

I like this game, but I find it kind of annoying that you can't see the effect of the advantage cards that your opponents get for having a majority in a territory, unless you memorize them before they go into their hands.

I just tryd exspansion for Inis it is brutal . It add 5 player and more action cards and more epic tale cards and more lands and islands and few more rule additions . The game witch is already the king of elegancy become more deep. I recommend this Exspansion it is must have .

i do agree with a lot of things your saying here, but at the end you ask 'why would we play this if we could play kemet?', and my answer to that would be the set up! Kemet is an absolute ballache to set up, i can easily set up inis in 2 minutes. If your trying to play with people newer to the hobby too its a lot less intimidating

Inis is AMAZING !!! My new favorite game

I don’t think it not having monsters is a problem. That’s like complaining an apple is not a pear. Ok. So?

Thanks for you objective review and you opinion. May not resonate with all, which is fine. It would be boring if we were all the same.

Thanks for the review. Have yet to okay Inis. Do like Kemet, may be a nice change.

This is coming a bit late & without any patience to sift through your Comments but did anyone get back to you regarding the query over Island tiles? We, too, found the rulebooks deplorably unequal to the game and the Island tiles confusing. Kindly (or not so kindly) let us know. And hello from Toronto, Canada! It's refreshing to find a Channel with some balls for such a splendid (often timid) hobby. Keep up the great work.

I like this so much more than Cyclades, Kemet, and Blood Rage.

Stop trying to pick out my eyes please

Your reviews are honest and refreshing, I grow tired of being fooled by the overly positive mainstream reviewers. Cheers mate

Oi! Trust me! Nobody instigates The Clash! 😄👍

Hahaha I have complete opposite views on inis, lords of hellas, and kemet. Looking forward to more videos! :)

Inis Rules Ok! 🙂👍

Can i play Season of Inis without buying original inis?

Shut Up & Sit Down's Quinns said it's better than Cyclades!!!!!!!!!!! 8 /

Please talk a bit louder. Seems like you are whispering. haha

are you hiding in the basement or something? you almost whisper

It's a shame that the minatures are so shit in this game as everything else is gorgeous.

It’s not Blood Rage or Kemet. It’s not supposed to be. Those games already exist. No big game breaking monsters wtf? You really didn’t grasp this at all. Hopefully no one is led astray by this and misses one of the best and most unique games on the market. Of course we all have different likes and dislikes and that’s fine but hopefully people who will love won’t skip it. It’s exactly what it’s intended to be. Maybe watch Boardgameco videos about how it fits into the trilogy for a better understanding.
