Join Tabletop Turtle as we drown in an abundance of choices and components in this very enthusiastic review of the board game Voidfall from Mindclash Games. It took a full month of playing every day, but we finally reached a point where we feel confident giving our opinion on this great game. And don't worry, we don't use the term "contentification" a single time!

Nice to see a reviewer put in the work needed for this game! Love the energy!

My local board game café does this thing that you can hire a guru to come and teach you a game, and he/she will bring it. 👍🏻

Our local game cafe seems to have stopped doing that. Now it feels like nobody really knows how to teach most of the games on the shelf.

Forgot to mention funny 😄. Poop Voidfall sounds like a very serious condition.

Excellent review. This is the review I’ll send to my game group to encourage them to agree to play the game. 🤞Subscribed. Thanks.

Haha oh my the pressure! Hopefully they're convinced and you have a good time with it! Dear Henchman friends, just play the damn game your boy bought for your entertainment!

Really good review. I have this on my list of games to play. Glad to hear it is not heavy into PvP.

Nope! It's there and probably shouldn't be ignores but it's not the primary objective

Good review. This game looks like an investment of effort and it's important to understand the pros and cons first. I'm the one who would set it up, so that doesn't bother me. It's the initial learning curve. My wife can handle even On Mars once we played a time or two, so I'd like to believe she could handle this. Thanks

@TabletopTurtle 8 ай бұрын

Thanks! It is a bit of an effort but we think the tutorial version of the game really is a must when learning because it makes the entire experience far more digestible in a single sitting. I would say that if you played that version first, the game wouldn't be any harder to understand than On Mars. So if she can handle that, she can handle Voidfall!

Hey, great review, very well done 🙂 If you don't mind me suggesting something, that would be timestamps (really would help me search the video by topic) and more b-rolls ;-) Really love the format, wish you success and alll the best.

Just want to point out that I used the time stamps, and then scrolled down to see this comment.

Thanks for the in-depth review, you really notice how often you have played the game. Have you ever tried out the cooperative modus?

@TabletopTurtle 8 ай бұрын

Thanks! It was a fun exhaustive effort. Sadly, we don't play a lot of cooperative games. We are partners that prefer to beat on one another in a board game rather than work together. We should have stipulated that in the review, but I suppose we forgot.

@AmertumeB 7 ай бұрын

@@TabletopTurtle I really recommend you try the cooperative version. It's much more tense and the experience is worth it, even if you're not much of a coop gamer.

Voidfall design philosophy: "F it" lmao, yup! Subscribed

Thanks for the subscription! Playing the game really did feel that way in the best possible manner.

I'm wondering if you've played Feudum and how these games compare complexity wise. Would love to watch a Feudum review! Maybe you have no interest in that one?

@TabletopTurtle 3 ай бұрын

That's a game I've looked at a lot but never tried. I'll have to find a copy.

@johnathanrhoades7751 12 күн бұрын

Feudom is the epitome of fiddly rules. This game is much better with that. Not only is the iconography very helpful once learned there are a ton fewer rules exceptions and little rules that are easy to forget. Feudom is so cool, but this one is easier to teach (though still not easy…)

Subscribed at "topical politics" x) just got myself this game can't wait to try it out

Mike's occupation has never been represented in a board game before, so he was a little too excited! It won't be long till I find that card framed in the living room some day!

Would you recommend the galactic box over retail? Do you think it's worth the hefty price? I think it's going from $200-400 atm 😂 awesome review btw!!

@TabletopTurtle 6 ай бұрын

Honestly, I think the retail version is better if only because it actually takes less time to set up!

@johnathanrhoades7751 12 күн бұрын

I have the galactic box and I would never spring for it over the retail knowing what I do now. It’s not “worse” per se but it is bigger and it really doesn’t need to be.
