Well, we've only been doing this for 2 months, and I guess it takes a while for people to find out about it. The more games we cover, the more people see the vids and subscribe. And yeah, RC is a great survival game, not my favorite though. That's "this war of mine".

There might be one, check online. If you live in Central Florida, you could check out The Cloak and Blaster. Cool place. Their menu is called "The Player's Handbook", gyros are "Bags of Holding", Chicken Tenders are "Chocobo Tenders", etc. Oh, downstairs is themed after "Lord of the Rings" and upstairs is themed after "Star Wars".

Do you have a local game store? A lot of them will teach you how to play games. They usually teach you for free.

I only ever play RC solo, usually with 2 characters

Its a special one. I just got the big expansion and need to give that a go soon

@@3MBG Mystery tales? Just finished the campaign yesterday.

That's the one. Just haven't gotten around to it

Is it still your favourite? Thinking of getting it!

@@isaacrigbythere was a game that overtook Robinson Crusoe: This war of mine!!

Not really off hand. Maybe lost expedition?

Cheers. Its a neat game, but a dense one to "decode" for your first plays as there is so much going on.

Can i come too? R u close to greece?

How did it go? :)

Might mug one of my patreon peeps who has it, and lives around the corner from me.

Nah, i skipped that due to the whole procedural generation thing, combined with it being competitive. Just seemed like it would produce a very unpolished experience

@@3MBG it does seem like a weird choice to do procedural customization. It's a turn off for sure. I thought the game had full co-op though.

It was a weird combo if i recall, like perhaps it was co-op, but you couldn't really help each other or something. I forget

@@3MBG maybe so. I haven't looked into it too much because the overall reviews seem to say it missed the mark. One review I watched mentioned co-op and versus modes. I was under the impression that they were separate.

is that even out yet?

Its quite pricey though right?

Pretty easily. It's not as good a Robinson Crusoe, but its a similar enough experience in many ways. I find it curious how vocal the haters of the game are. It's done "ok" on BGG

I think that's the one Paul Grogan from Gaming Rules rewrote.

@@3MBG Indeed. I really like the way he explained rules-heavy game like RC. I remember that some Polish players asked Portal for translation.

Not me personally, i have most of the game already and still have a whole unplayed expansion

I was considering to back it as well and even had a pledge locked in at one point, but after watching a couple of reviews the game looks too complicated for my personal taste. I prefer games that are quick to learn and hard to master. This one seems like a nightmare to learn and re-learn each time I want to get it back on the table.

The pledge manager opened up on Gamefound today and I'm $217 in on a $45 game 😅 Its not everyday a game this renowned gets a collectors edition. That 4 mission tutorial developed by the same person behind the Jaws of the Lion intro, the additional companions and support items, that book of adventures which breaks down difficulty and target audience, a 44" playmat, and a layered player board made this all too good to pass up.

Dead of winter & this war of mine, but those are both still pretty complex. The lost expedition is a lot less complex, but i didn't like it much. Sub Terra is kinda a survival game of sorts as well. That's about all i can think of

@@3MBG thanks for the recommendations ! ive checked em out ... dead of winter looks about bang on but too complex for now. lost expedition looks pretty good maybie a little bit simple. i really like the idea of having minimal resources to build, craft ect. also tricky / risky survival decisions with minimal tools, weapons or skills, also dealing with fatigue, injury levels, weather ect. i love real life survival theme as well as the very different post apocalypse theme. might have another look at "friday" and other post apocalypse but they seemed too player vs player for me. i'm new to board gaming, thanks again, your channel is great ! any more suggestions from anyone would be welcome.

It is a rather overwhelming game, and not one i would recommend for everyone. But quite rewarding if you can get past the complex rules and high difficulty. I recommend checking out "Watch it played"'s long rules break down to make sure if the game is for you. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z8iPkrOrs9q7qH0.html

It really isn't. Under the files section in BGG is a breakdown of all the steps and things to do during the day. With that handy it's a rather simple game.

Yea I know what you mean . I put it aside several months ago but I’m now trying to master it and enjoying the process , for an extra challenger I’ve got the Russian language edition :-)

Early video, had a $20 microphone and no editing gear when i started. Sound quality has improved on later vids.
