Oh man, that is exactly what I was hoping to achieve. Thanks for responding because hearing this made my day.

Thank you for the kind words, Jonas! I appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective.

Hey, thank you. That means a lot!

Hey, thank you so much. That's very kind of you. Though I don't want to give you false expectations, not every review is an in-depth video essay (though our Eclipse Second Dawn, Forgotten Waters and Marco Polo II vids are all similar formats), some are more casual unscripted reviews (Small Samurai Empires & Stardew Valley), some are scripted on camera / off camera combinations (Wingspan, Journeys in Middle Earth, a War of Whispers). Ultimately I try to go with what format seems best to convey what I want to say about a game. Either way, thanks for checking out our stuff, I appreciate your kind words, the super generous comparison to Dan, and your support. Cheers from Alaska!

@@TheCardboardHerald Oh I’ve seen several. I like what you’re doing here. And look forward to hearing your thoughts on Sekigahara and Cuba Libre. (Hint, hint)

@@TheLEHaskell1 Yeah! They are both on the to-play list. Also I got a copy of that old 70's War of the Ring SPI war-game that I need to explore. Was thinking about live-streaming an unboxing of that bad boy. There's a lot in the box. Cuba Libre is def at the top of the list though.

Crash is like a ninja, always sneaking his way into shots!

That's my hope. If they release an expansion or official variant I'll 100% be covering it on the channel.

@@TheCardboardHerald I'm pretty sure of it. The last thing I've heard him say about it's that they are working on an expansion with an invader theme, semi-coop and competitive for two. The game has as much potential as "Root" ... even more. If they don't, after so much time invested in the design of the game it would be a real shame. A waste. Let's see what the future holds. Great video by the way.

Hmmm, that's a hard call. At 2 players you kind of have to believe in the system and both acknowledge that you are not getting the full competitive experience. It's there, and my most recent game was a pretty nail-biting 2 player game, but some of the nuance is lost and it means 1 person will have to run the clockwork prince. Personally, unless you're a super dedicated Cole Wehrle or Leder Games fan, or the evolving world and scope of the game intrigues you so much that you're confident that you can look past the somewhat hampered 2p play, then I'd say it's a solid try-before-you-buy. There's no shame in being any of those things, buy and enjoy what interests you, but there's a whole world of excellent games at 2p that are worth exploring if you aren't confident that this game is for you.

@@TheCardboardHerald This is great! Thanks for your thoughts and time!
