Extra time is our "no rules" review format that goes deeper into why i like, or do not like a game we have covered in the 3 minute format. This one is for everyone wondering why i gave Underwater cities the gold medal.

In general, I'm loving these "extra time" videos. Great format for more detail. Your perspective is appreciated!

@3MBG 3 жыл бұрын

Cheers. It's great to stretch the legs a little. I love our core format, and its not going anywhere. But it has its limits.

"I like long games, I like games with lots of decisions, and I'm a sucker for a Sci-fi theme. And UC does all that. Just like Gaia Project, and just like TM." Good sir, I think we have similar game tastes haha. I have all three games, and the expansions for each!

I'd also put in a plug for Crisis then if you dont have that :)

UC is my favourite game. You capture why I like this game so much here. Doing the best with what you got. That part reminds me of another favourite Castles of Burgundy. I love that I have had almost no rule questions playing this game. Everything is on the cards.

Yeah, quite like COB, especially in terms of tight decisions each turn. And yeah, the rules are very straight forward

You still remain my favorite board game channel on KZfaq. I feel your recommendations have always paid off the best for me when I get the games. I got Brass Birmingham and this one looks awesome! Love Gaia Project too.

@justadude5217 3 жыл бұрын

The tightness from the limited actions is what sets it apart from similar games like TM in my opinion. It’s a condensed fighting ring, and if you’re not maximizing the efficiency of your actions it will be hard to win.

Really enjoyed this Extra Time, a great addition to this channel and something I’m looking forward to seeing more of on these games that warrant it 👍

I'm glad I watched this Extra Time too. Will give this a try now, even when it looked overwhelming in the review.

I almost wish I didn't watch this, I hadn't given this game much thought until you compared it to Gaia Project (and TM to a lesser extent). Now I want it

@tonybowers9490 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for sharing. My copy arrives tomorrow. Even more excited now. What you described so well, about not figuring the game out yet. I’m that way with Rurik and that’s why I enjoy Rurik. For me, Once the challenge is gone the fun is also gone.

I'm glad to hear what you like so much about it! I love Underwater Cities and I'm not a fan at all of Terraforming Mars, so I'm intrigued by the similarities between them.

@3MBG 3 жыл бұрын

They are weirdly similar, yet totally different. It's one of those wacky things that the scratch a similar itch, but in a very very different way.

My friends and I have just started playing Underwater Cities and couldn't agree with you more about how satisfying it is! So many wonderful/painful decisions! And I'm really interested in playing Gaia Project after having just played Terra Mystica for the first time...

I'm right there with you on UC (as well as TM and GP). It's well worth checking out Vladimír Suchý's previous game Pulsar 2849 which is a very good meaty dice drafting game which flew under the radar a bit.

I've seen that around, sci-fi them im a sucker for, but i just haven't gotten to it. Probably because it was under the radar a bit

hi, if I had terraforming, and its quite nice, would UC still scratch that same itch? (also have Brass B, for the route building/economic)

Underwater Cities has been in my Top 5 since it came out. Clean design and crunchy decision-making. I agree 100% with what you said about the luck factor: it's about doing the best you can with what you're given - that's what sets the good players apart. P.s. Underwater trumps Terraforming Mars for me.

Not played it yet. Have no relationship with the publisher and haven't been backing pricey games personally for a while.

@dave0754 3 жыл бұрын

On Mars is an excellent games, but it's very complex. There is a slight symbiotic relationship between players, who need to work together to develop the base but also need to do their own thing to win the game.

Oooooh, interesting! I'm glad you did this one. I watched your other two and was about to buy. But, now I have a question... would you say UC is as "tight" (aka. excruciatingly painful) as Through The Ages? I absolutely hate TTA because every turn is agony. I love the "freedom" and ability to actually accomplish something that TM provides.

@3MBG 3 жыл бұрын

Different type of tight to TTA as you can always do something. In TTA, sometimes the only thing you can do is disband something and go backwards.

You say bad dice rolls can be over come and in economic games that is true. But, wargames unfortunately dice rolls are everything and I have the kind of luck that I'm better off just painting the miniatures.

Disagree. I went from bottom tier wargamer to winning competitions, it wasn't my dice luck that changed, it was practice
