Onitama Expansions - Beyond The Base Game
Sorry that auto focus messed me over a bit again, but it's only me that's blurred, you can see everything else!
Yes, the series is back! Now that things have calmed down from the Essen and Top 100 rush! Today I'm giving you an insight into the three expansions to Onitama including the newest Light & Shadow only released this week!

Damn shame these types of videos do not get more views. You're absolutely correct that expansions rarely get covered. I am very happy that you make these.

Thanks!! 😊 I agree they are useful.

Sorry that auto focus messed me over a bit again, but it's only me that's blurred, you can see everything else that's important - just listen to it in audio form if you have to, but I didn't have the strength to re-record the whole thing.

It wasn't that bad at all, still a good watch! Expansions are always dodgy choices for me, so I love to see more of these!

I enjoy the altered dynamic that Way of the Wind offers, but don't have the other ones. Light and Shadow slipped through the cracks for me, so now I'm curious about picking that up. I haven't seen the need for more movement cards as Way of the Wind offers a couple new ones that can be added to the base game (plus the ones that are Wind-Spirit specific). However, it sounds like you felt that more movement cards from Sensei's Pather are worth it.

Thanks for the review. Chess has never needed an expansion, and it looks like this one doesn't either!

I only just recently got Light and Shadow, and I love it. This game (while incredibly easy to learn and teach) has always felt incredibly cerebral to me, and I love that about it. Adding in a bluffing option into piece movement just made it more interesting for me to play. I'm now curious to see if it's worthwhile to add buy the Way of the Wind expansion to add into matches with the ninjas involved too. I'm hands down getting Sensei's Path though. More cards is definitely worth it by any standard.

@TheBrokenMeeple 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, anyone can get Sensei's Path - the other 2 are good expansions but I'll never really use them given this game is more of a teaching tool for new gamers for me.

Thanks for the video. I have been looking at this game and War Chest. I know the rules of both, just never played either. A few similarities between the two. Which do you like playing more?

@TheBrokenMeeple 2 жыл бұрын

Onitama, much simpler and yet still thinky. But both are solid games. War Chest has luck of bag building though, there is zero luck in Onitama.

Great video! Definitely good to add sustainability into your review considerations. Please keep that going :) As an industry I think it is needed and should be highlighted when it is done right! Expansions are often the biggest culprit of unnecessary waste if the plan is to store it in the main box. With a large amount of sales happening online now, having a bigger box on the shelf simply for presence is overrated IMO.

If you sleeve the cards from the base game and senseis path, do they fit in the base game box slot for the cards?

Hi Luke, love your videos and I really enjoy the Beyond the Base Game series. The packaging of these expansions really is a waste of resources. Unfortunately, my wife doesn't like to play Onitama, so there's no need to get the expansions. Greetings from Germany!

How does one guarantee that the ninja is where it is? Like, my opponent moved to my ninja spot. Do I have to tell him that he captured mu ninja? What is stopping me from just keeping quiet? I don't like games that rely purely on players being honest.

I can't recall it's been ages, but yeah some honesty required.

so easy to cheat with the ninjas... you really have to play with people you trust. If you play with people you don't know, will you ever be sure that great ninja movement you weren't expecting was fair? this is too fraught

@TheBrokenMeeple 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah true, trust is key in this one.

@kiwisoup 5 ай бұрын

Just don't play with shitty people I guess? Nobody I play games with would cheat, so not a concern. You can record movements on a sheet if it's that big of a deal or just not use the expansion.
