I've been going through the backlog of SU&SD, my explaination for the 4 year old comment ... Why shouldn't you leave them there?

@@Edit-nk6nb because the heat and changes of temperature don't do them any good

All of your cards activate when you roll the number, but the order is about payout. If you're broke you might not be able to pay out (red), but then you can still earn on the same turn.

Living the Tsundere life

I sold it once a family member blew my mind by finding the broken aspect and politely rampaging with it. Glad the game expansion addresses the issue.

Jonol Son My son pointed that out after playing the game over a dozen times.

ERMGERD!

Ha, I never noticed!

Just let people like the games they like. Don't tell them they can't like it because you don't enjoy it.

Yes, we're big fans of that one!

@@shutupandsitdown Guess who told me about it first

It might take you longer to accumulate the wealth to build your four landmarks if you invest exclusively in shops triggered by one die. Greater and more rewards await you when you enter Twodiceville but they also carry greater risks. I guess it all depends on your playstyle.

Yeah I noticed that too, I've got the Aussie version and we've got the nice coins. Must be something from the first print run!

Exactly, it's the best part of Settlers without all the tedium of Settlers

I couldn't agree more. It feels like it doesn't matter at all, what kind of buildings I choose. I would even go further, that you would have a probability >>0 to win if you just chose arbitrary buildings along the way.

...I'm a bit late I guess but how does that differ from Catan? Don't get me wrong, I love both games. But in both games you roll a die and hope your number gets rolled. Catan had trading, but Machi Korro gets going faster. Because I feel like Machi Korro makes it easier to get good numbers, and it reduces the first player advantage that happens in Catan when you go last, and your Aunt gets 6s and 8s but you somehow get a twelve, and... what? Two twos??

Machi Koro died a death in my house very quickly. Once you've got a strategy, you just spam it and hope to outroll your opponent. Repeat games are dull!

Dave Dogge kids or your girlfriend who thinks rpgs are for meganerds

The King of all Awesomeness yeah also, it's a good intro into RPGs (although it's not really an RPG even though it has the story element).

SUSD used to post on Vimeo back then for whatever reason but now they're uploading everything to YT.

Probably to get their catalog all in one place. I mean when was the last time you did a video search on Vimeo?

I like that they are consolidating their reviews, but I wish they'd put the original air date of the videos so people don't get confused when they say "It's out of print" or "Is coming out the next month". Right now all you have to go on is Quinn's haircut.

Matías Paolini They do have it in the bottom of the description. Still curious as to why at this time and not sooner...

Yeah, having the date below the fold doesn't really cut it.

My teens love machi koro.

Splendor is amazing, probably the most played game at my house (and I probably have 50 games). MK is new to the games list, and fun, but seems easy to spam certain strategies, and we generally don't like games based on luck rather than skill.

both are interesting in the discovery phase, and then not that interesting. Unfortunately the discovery phase is one game for machi koro.

There are definitely strategies to splendor and I win more often by using various strategies. The strategy I implement depends on the game and how the game is going, which keeps it really intresting as I change my approach depending on the game. Splendor gets better once you have played it a few times so you understand how you can get better at it.

Funnily enough, you can clearly see that Splendor has an insert to hold the cards upright but they stacked them up in the box for some reason lol

Thanks!

I feel the same way.

Try Valeria: Card Kingdoms. It's Machi Koro only better and easier.

splendor was good for about 10 matches. machi koro was good for 1 match.

The harbor expansion fixes the dominant strategy problem Machi Koro has.

Mark Fuelle If a game needs something in an expansion to be a good game, that element should be in the base game. personally, my experience with the base game makes me unwilling to try an expansion, even if it fixes the problems.

Aleksandra Paul Bohr it is an old review. you can check on the description for the published data of the review. they are uploading old reviews for the KZfaq.

oooh. I'm sorry! Thank you!

Aleksandra Paul Bohr No problem! 😊

they are uploading the old vimeo videos to their youtube channels

Preston Poland Do you know, that you are giving money first and then collect income?

Yes but it put me so far behind the curve so fast that there was no way to catch up.

Preston Poland stop rolling 3s

must be played with the Harbor expansion which randomizes the available cards out to buy (I was unbeatable in vanilla: mines + forests + furniture factories)

If all the other players are piling on the cafes, just go for the other stuff they're letting slip by.

Truth :D

It does essentially come down to luck, assuming the people you play with plan ahead.

Well if you are in a game of any amount of players, strategies are bound to overlap, and when playing, multiple decisions lead to your desired outcome, but it is up to you to solve 1.What is the most turn effective/fastest way to your win condition 2.What could slow your opponents win condition down while still helping yourself 3.What is the safest play where your opponent cannot set you back. 4.What is a move I can make where I am assured I will have an effective next turn. When me and my friends play the game it turns into a match of who can read the other the best and make the most efficient moves. And we really enjoy it! So if you ever wanna give the game a shot again try and think of it more like that. Hopefully you can find it more enjoyable!

There is one element of strategy: when do you start rolling two dice instead of one? You really want to roll two dice, but it starts off weak, so you have to figure out when to push to the two dice cards. It is fun once.
