Easy fix for Mice and Mystics: roll for attacks against you, yourself? And just have another player check so there’s no cheating (if that’s even necessary). Then you don’t have to feel like you’re hurting another player 🤔

I believe the video game Monkey Island 2 is subtitled "La Chuck's Revenge". I like seeing board games make parodies/references to non board games.😁

"You get cursed by a witch and you turn into little mice." That's not what happens in Mice and Mystics. They turn themselves into mice to be able to escape.

Have you all played through the D&D Adventure games, Sword & Sorcery and Shadows and Brimstone? I'm not saying any of those games should be on your list, but just curious to know your experience, since all of those games are pure co-ops and not out of print or unobtainable Kickstarters.

Kyle has not played any of the D&D dungeon crawlers but they look very interesting. The fact that you build the dungeon with puzzle-like piece seems fun. He knows there is pressure to keep moving because extra monsters come out if you hang around too long. They sound pretty fun!

You can probably tell that Kyle does not prefer the really “crunchy” games. He likes things a bit more streamlined and quick. All of the ones you mentioned are great, but not his cup of tea. We also tried to stay away from the ones EVERYONE mentions.
@scottsysol200
@scottsysol200 Ай бұрын
Yeah I get that was the approach. My definition of dungeon crawl includes that it has to be crunchy…character leveling (real leveling not zombicide leveling) and it has to have rules and conditions for everything. D&D in a box…

I once nearly made a buddy of mine rage quit the D&D fantasy adventure boardgame. It's a co-op dungeoncrawl like HeroQuest. My character had found an item that let me summon another player's character on an adjacent square next to my character. So what I did was: Walk up to a locked door. Summon my buddy's character on the other side of that door in an unxeplored room that ended up containing 3 orcs. It could have been worse, but a 3 on 1 fight isn't ideal. What made it worse was that he had already taken his turn and the monsters still had to take their turn. What made it even worse was that after the monster turn we'd have to shuffle the turn order cards meaning the monsters could get another turn before he finally had a go! Ah good times.

These are other Dungeon Crawlers that can compete with Barnacle (not fiddly, cooperative and fun), are you familiar with these: Massive Darkness 2, Kinfire Chronicles, Tales from the Red Dragon inn.

Kyle has watched play-throughs and reviews on all of these. All three of those games are good, but for theme, simplicity and fun factor, he personally believes Barnicale Bay is the superior game.

No Heroquest, Warhammer Quest, Descent or Darklight: Memento Mori? What's the point of even making a video like this if you leave all of the best out?

@mirrortwins9694 6 ай бұрын
We did mention Hero Quest early in the video, and dungeon crawls have come a long way since then. While we certainly understand that everyone has their own personal preference, for Kyle, the other games you mentioned don't even crack his top 20 for various reason touched on in the video. Warhammer in particular is notorious for its unforgiving complexity and crunchy mechanics, which is against what we find enjoyable in board games.
