Maybe one day. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes! Great sugestión for a video

IP's cost a lot of money now. FFG knew they could not make enough money on certain contracts and declined to continue them. There is also the problem of a large catalog. Games like LotR and the Star Wars lcg's, Galactica and Netrunner had a huge amount of content and was going to cost a lot of money to maintain with constant reprints on top of the IP cost. They became too big to continue.

@@robertthurman9866 Too bad.

Yes. I was always totally hyped here in germany and waited for the translated versions (Arkham Horror 2nd, Android, BSG, Twilight Imperium, ...). And now? Only Living card games or streamlined versions. Nothing really special for me....

Thank you. Happy to help.

ToI is such a great game. Get everything published, even a second copy for playing the biggest scenario in the "Designer's series" book. Greetings from germany

@@Dogma-mr7bq I hope to play it again soon! Definitely won’t be getting rid of it any time soon. Cheers!

Thank you. Great game!

Yeah, but CoH is still a really fun game, IMHO. Tide of Iron is great too.

Yeah, I went in for the 2E upgrade. Looking forward to it.

Wow. Are you planning on selling them? Otherwise you gotta play that sucker!

@TheDiscriminatingGamer I don't really want to sell them. Just wanna find the right to play it with. I'm happy to have 'em for sure though! You're totally right!

What do you use for the 5-6 player minis?

Excellent.

Great game. Happy to help. Have you played it?

Haven't played Starcraft, but heard great things. Hope you get some of the expansions down the line.

Thanks!

Great list. Thanks.

Too bad about STFC. Great game.

I am in the UK and I have been luckily able to get star trek fleet captains with the dominion expansion but it's extremely hard to get the romulan expansion a friend of mine has a prototype expansion that was never released I think it's a Borg expansion or something like but he is in the USA so sadly I will never be able to play it

I do love star Trek fleet captains

Thanks!

I’ve always wanted to find a copy of Magic Realm and have heard how hard the game is to learn! Have you played it a lot? I’m curious what your thoughts are on the actual gameplay. Cheers!

I Haven’t’ played Magic Realm.

@@TheDiscriminatingGamer oh shoot sorry Cody I didn’t specify, I was asking Antoyal. Thanks for responding though!

@@-RTC- I know I'm supposed to say something like, "Nahh, the complexity is overrated--it's actually easy to learn!" But yeah, I found it to be pretty tough. From what I've read, the game was intended to be more of a series, but shortly before production started Avalon Hill told the designer to fit whatever he could into just the first edition and not count on any follow-ups. This meant that some of the advanced rules and characters got included, which is great, but there just wasn't enough time to rewrite the rulebook properly. The game has a reputation as one that is *very* difficult to learn just by reading the rules. It is quite easy to learn if you have someone there with you to teach it though, which is one reason that it is such a great convention game. All that being said, there is a thriving community of enthusiastic Magic Realm players who have done a *fantastic* job of reorganizing the rules, creating player aids, posting play-throughs and session reports, and even writing a great Java-based version of the game (it's called RealmSpeak). Check out "The Magic Realm Tutorial Project" over in the Magic Realm forums at boardgamegeek.com -- there's a lot to read, but you *will* learn what all the fuss is about. For me, Magic Realm is a fun game but not one of my *most* fun games. Complex but not one of my *most* complex games. And so on for other descriptors such as difficulty and game length. It has a great decision space, and a really well developed risk-reward loop. Some of the mechanics in the game are exquisite, and I find it hard to believe that they haven't been adopted by other games. On the other hand, I find the game to be a bit dry. It's always fun and well worth it the time when I play it, but like with some other games like Mage Knight I have to sort of psyche myself up to breaking out the box, reviewing the rules, and playing it. Speaking of Mage Knight, while that game is often compared to Magic Realm, honestly I can't think of any game that really conveys the Magic Realm experience. It's a sandbox game, with each player prioritizing their objectives at the beginning and then trying their best to meet those objectives over the course of a game month. It uses programmed actions for each day, which is of course challenging. The characters are IMHO not remotely "balanced," in the modern game design sense, and the differences between them can be huge or subtle. But the characters are rich and distinctive. The chit-based system for handling movement, combat, injuries, and exhaustion is amazing--one of those game mechanics that I'm surprised hasn't been used by other designers. It's from an era of fantasy gaming that predates much of what has become received wisdom about character types, how magic works, and so forth. For example, the Dwarf character isn't a tanky powerhouse with shoulders as wide as he is tall. He's a small guy who doesn't move as fast as most of the other characters, but he is hardy and he *really* knows his way around caves (which are generally dangerous or risky areas for most other characters). I should say, by the way, that a game called _Dragons_ _Down_ had a successful crowdfunding campaign recently, so it will be seeing publication. It's sort of a streamlined spiritual successor / homage to Magic Realm, designed by someone who clearly adores Magic Realm. I backed Dragons Down and I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on it!

Thank you. Happy to help!

Great list. Thanks!

Star Wars Rebellion is a great game, but it is still easy to purchase, so not really a grail game.

I haven’t painted mine. Unfortunately, I don’t have time to paint my games, and I doubt I’d be much good at it if I did.

Could be fun. Stay in touch.

Haven’t heard of DTP. I wouldn’t hold my breath for FS. Thanks.

Indeed. Their heyday was great!

Excellent. Thanks.

Betrayal and Horrified are still easily obtained, so I wouldn't really consider them grail games. Thanks.

@@TheDiscriminatingGamer Oooh, duh. The meaning of Grail was lost on me. "The land and the king are one!"

Yeah. I've heard about that. Haven't looked into it, though.

There are a couple. Galaxy in Flames adds Imperial Guard, Necrons, Tau and Tyranids. Its fantastic and the 3d printed models are amazing.

Excellent. Thanks.

Yeah. Good point. Thanks.

Munchkin

I really enjoy the 3-4 hour games, if you can find the people.

@@TheDiscriminatingGamer oh I do too. But a 90 min game is MUCH easier to get to the table than a 3 or 4 hour game.

Wizkids’ Fourth edition is great. I think Wizkids gets a lot of crap, but I’ve always enjoyed their games.

Star Trek Ascendancy is very good, as is Star Trek Away Missions. But Star Trek Fleet Captains remains my favorite.

@@TheDiscriminatingGamer I just checked and ascendency is available here in the U.K. Thanks for a great video and info!

​@TheDiscriminatingGamer Fleet Captains is great, but once I discovered Ascendancy, that became my favorite.

@@michaeljones8168 ooooh interesting! I’m def gonna look it up, watch a few playthroughs. Thanks!

Thank you.

Ah, I left Wyoming last year. I’m in Idaho now.

Very cool. Yeah, back in the day I had the Saddam cover version.

Working on it. Need to play a few more.

@@TheDiscriminatingGamer I got Sniper Elite not too long ago - it's pretty solid for such a light game.

I've thought about downloading, but I feel like it would miss something.

@@TheDiscriminatingGamer Digital games always lack in person appeal. Still, for some, it's far better than nothing.

Probably not. Getting married this summer and too many expenses. I'll hope to review it eventually. Thanks!

Sound like great games. I’m not familiar with any of them, other than SFB.

It wouldn't surprise me if Julian Gollop creator of the original Xcom had played the boardgame Snapshot by GDW. . One of his early video games Rebelstar Raiders was similar to the Snapshot boardgame

I'm in the Boise area right now. Where are you?

@@TheDiscriminatingGamer , Helena Montana

A little ways away.

Haven’t played it - and it’s not in my collection. Is it currently hard to find?

If you don’t have a good “gamer” playing Dracula, it will not be a good game.

4th. I like the painted minis.

Ouch. Yeah, you’ll prolly never see it again.

Yeah. Figured eclipse scratches that itch, and I play 40k. Used the funds to pre-order a and a North Africa. Should have kept it. Lol

Good idea.

I never played the video game.

@@TheDiscriminatingGamer I think you will like it, you take turns with the AI, and you have a percentage to hit a targeted enemy. But it can be extremely difficult.

Xenonauts 2 is the new Xcom.

@@todd3458 how? That game looks like it was made in 2008, in terms of gameplay it looks nothing like XCOM, it has similar features yes, but it looks like an old version of XCOM

Tide of iron , nice maps, I've heard it takes time to set up ,,war room looks the same , + big footprint,,,so I'm sticking to devil pig bud, heroes/shadows, nice post btw , ta bye🕊️

I've only played STFC. The rest sound like fun.

The original version is still easily available, so I don't know if that works.

Hard to go wrong with Stephen King. The Stand, Salem's Lot are the best. World War Z by Max Brooks. Bram Stoker's Dracula. Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles. Anything by H.P. Lovecraft is worth reading, his best are "The Shadow Over Innsmouth," and "Herbert West - Reanimator." Hope this helps.

@@TheDiscriminatingGamer thanks :) i am reading The Stand right now and am loving it so far! World War Z is also one of my favorite books, so i will definitely check out the others. Seems like our tastes might align :)

@@lukaswernig9721 Indeed. I don't read as much horror as I used to, but I love it. Thanks.

Very good.

Indeed.

I guess I should have put Company of Heroes on the list.

@@TheDiscriminatingGamer You let yourself down, you let your family down, you let your friends down, you let Bad Crow Games down, shame on you. Ha just kidding ;)

@@chadvader974 I do that frequently.

@@TheDiscriminatingGamer LOL... welcome to the club.

TS is still easy to find at a good price. Not really a Grail Game.
