Lol I 💯 hate on the muted, terrible graphic design. That’s def why it took us so long to play, but as to my feelings about it, I’m still undecided! I enjoyed it solo, and was enjoying it at 2pl. I just wasn’t convinced it would be a top fav game for me. I need to play it more, but my Player 1 is gonna be hard to convince because I’ve had trouble getting him past the boring look. Gotta say, I get it! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Excellent picks! Love that Root made your number ones!

If you've not tried Mythic Mischief I'd give that a go as it feels aligned with what you both might like.

We would love to try Mythic Mischief! I have played the app, but never a physical copy :) I will preface with the fact that the Lacerda games are big shifts from our usual, but definitely let us know if you try something!!

@nitrorev 4 ай бұрын

@@ChitsandCardboard Ah great! Since the app came out and they were able to collect a lot of data from the player base, they've buffed and nerfed a lot of the factions so the app is more up-to-date at this point. I'll probably spring for the physical game only after they've finalised all the faction changes into a 2nd edition. Your list made me want to particularly try out Pax Pamir 2 as that's also Cole Wehrle's work. They just released a tutorial on BGA so I'll be diving into that soon!

Good list. I like Root, but typically only have two people to play. Recently bought the hirelings and clockwork to see how that will play with two. By the way, you definitely have to play Dune Imperium: Uprising - SO good! Even more fun. You won’t go back to the other.

@grantfraser5430 11 күн бұрын

Great video, great game choices. I'm in Vancouver but if I ever make it to Toronto for a convention I would totally hit either or both up for a game of Inis or Dune: Imperium. I completely agree with you about Immortality and I have yet to play Uprising myself also. I'm not sure if I prefer 3 or 4 players best but I think the game is still extremely good even at 2. "Heat is a perfect game." What a great way to describe it. The only non solo game I have played was 4 players, one who confused it with Formula D rules and was too far behind to catch up. 3rd finished one space behind the other two in a wild finish. You can't get any better than that. Do either of you have an opinion on Seasons of Inis? Another one I'm looking forward to playing some day. Ark Nova is our most played game and the Marine Worlds expansion is fantastic. Lots of little tweaks, improved and extra final scoring cards and the variable action cards are the best addition. Thanks for your energy and enthusiasm. Subscribing now, look forward to more videos.

@ChitsandCardboard 11 күн бұрын

So, lots to reply to here. If you're ever in Toronto, yes, give us a shout. We are down to play whatever! Immortality, yeah not amazing but not bad. Could take or leave. We have played uprising since and it is definitely solid! Seasons of Inis is fantastic and really helps tie the game together. Strong recommend. Also the game is awesome at 5

@DrakkanWoW 4 ай бұрын

Interesting thoughts on Root player count. I really didn't like adding in Hirelings but did so because playing with 3 without isn't great. I think 4 is the best player count, followed by 5. 5 just makes the game slightly longer for me. Its a shame... Root is my favorite game as well, but just so hard for me to get to the table!

@ChitsandCardboard 4 ай бұрын

We table Root a bunch! I don't think all hirelings are made equal, but it's a fun aspect to worry about at 3. I just loooove Root at 5. If everyone knows what's going on, it's ripping fast, too! I think playing with the same group consistently helps though, and we do play it in streaks.

@VirgilCummings 4 ай бұрын

Root is amazing but since the android and ios app came out i have found no reason at all to bring it to the table. The digital version solves all movement mistakes and any other small rules that are easily forgotten. Have you played the digital version? If so what do you think?

@ChitsandCardboard 4 ай бұрын

We love the digital version, but I still think the tabletop version warrants frequent play. It's just such a great way for 4 or 5 people to spend a couple hours. We host weekly game nights though so, it makes it easier to table consistently.

@Jeff-ChitsandCardboard 4 ай бұрын
