Hi, Lindybeige! Their mispronunciations remind me of Simon Whistler, the bloke that has the Today I Found Out channel. There's hardly a single vid of his that doesn't have an hilarious example. P.s. Love your channel btw. (Especially that rant about modern art, sublime!)

Ohai Lindy, fancy seeing you here.

Lindybeige in this video, Metatron in another... Why don't you all just make a 5 hour long video about you all playing some of these games?

He's British, it's just what they do.

@@Dinoman9877 So is Lindybeige.

Santiago Sinisterra or crusader kings for people who have friends

It even has a ton of DLC...

Can you marry your horse?

Did you hear that Paradox is actually making a Crusader Kings board game?

It's been backed on kickstarter stupidly successful. They got several times the amount they asked for.

I share in your feeling of upsettedness, fellow human!

We all know that "Pope" is pronounced pop-ee

Jerry Krane they be making a board game rn on KS

Aside from the fact that CK2's advanced video board is capable of displaying changing information more fluidly than old-fashioned physical boards. You'll never wonder how many soldiers are in an enemy army, only how the hell a loose duchy has access to _that_ many troops oh shit I forgot to check their alliances.

More precisely : fjɛf.

It actually uses the Saxon pronunciation of trailing F. It sounds more like Feefth.

Also " *Bish* uhp rick" instead of 'bi *shop* rick'

Brandon Pack- "It actually uses the Saxon pronunciation of trailing F. It sounds more like Feefth." This is the first I've heard this. I don't know anything about Saxon pronunciation though. Where did you get your information on this? Thanks.

Ash1138 thank you for the advice. I found the game interesting.

ThaineFurrows So what’s your thoughts about the game?

Bump. Hello, so, can you make any update on your opinion about this game?

Well, I'll be the third person over the course of five years to enquire what you thought of the game.

​ @greginfla @michaq11 @David Murphy Oh, sorry. I didn't see the notification on youtube that there were questions about the evolution of my opinion. So to make it short. I love it. There's a few drawbacks though. The rules are a bit cumbersome and fiddly at places. It could have been more elegant. Also, I think it shows it's full potential only with 5-6 players. I played it with my sons a lot (3-player games, sometimes 3-players with each playing two families) and it works, but it's not as it should be. I recently found a 2-player variant on BGG and think that one can be adapted to add AI players to fill up the empty seats. My boys and I are testing that at the moment. I since bought all the expansions, although they are in French and Spanish, and am working myself through the rules. Like that it has become a medieval sandbox game. I'm far from having the experience with it to give a good and informed opinion. So this is only my impressions. To me the biggest part is in the stories that develop. I don't think the game is necessarily balanced. And although there is no player elimination, one can be wiped of the board early and I think chances to recover from that are slim. Also there's a decent amount of luck involved with dice battling and card drawing. But I don't mind that since, as said before, for me it is about the story. Even when I played a game in which I lost, the things that developed on the board were always fun, interesting and worth the time.

Don't be hasty in writing off Fief. The Chief from the Dice Tower and The Discriminating Gamer offer a very different view of the game. The game is polarizing... you may fall on the love it side just as easily as the hate it side

Thanks for letting me know - I'll get round to checking the reviews.

Oh, Fief is not polite at all. And as far as back room dealings goes, the game literally has a mechanic (that Quinns didn't cover) where you can spend a carrier pigeon token (you get 3 for the game) to take any players you want to a back room and make deals privately for 3 minutes. Fief is a game where there is a mechanic (marriage) that creates an actual team between two players (not just an alliance) that win the game together and also has mechanics where players can dissolve this team by murdering their spouse with a hired assassin or by marching an army against them to slay them on the battlefield. Hardly polite.

diplomacy

@@ricardorix73 Exactly my experience. The winner is decided by the exhaustion of the group when they reach that point where the game is way past its welcome. It's more a role playing game really if you're so inclined. The group you're with will make or break the game.

not making any alliances until hours in sounds like a skill issue to me

That can happen in this game too, but the amazing thing here (that Quinns didn't cover) is that you are never out of the game. Indeed, players who seem wiped out actually have a perverse advantage of sorts through diplomacy. This is due to the powerful roles in the game such as the King or the Pope. NOBODY wants a player in the lead to get one of these roles, so most often the table can be negotiated to let the player doing the worst get these roles (since they are not a threat). But then, the thing is, the power of these roles as well as the victory point the come with all of a sudden makes that player a prize to form a marriage partnership with. In Fief, it's very possible to go from the worst position in the game to victory in no time due to the diplomacy aspects of the game.

Its a shame cuz those bits and boards are Gorgeous

There's going to be a second edition soon.

The SUSD gang are much too elite for us little serfs.

Vancouver, BC. It also looks like to me that he is at the Creekside Park near the Science World at TELUS World of Science.

It made me homesick...

As someone who owns this game, don't be too disheartened- it depends what kinda gamer you are. My gaming group is a little too... "fun" for this game. But if you've got a group of super-nerds who are happy to lose an afternoon and enjoy the fiddly details of the negotiations and the voting, then this game is worth it :)

To me it seems like Fief makes a better roleplaying game with some strategic elements, than a full-fledged strategy game.
