As always thanks a lot for your review Joel!

It's a shame that i found this Game very late now it's awesome but now its imposible find the expansión in México good video😊

Thank you for this video! The day after I played this for the first time, I brought my copy of War of the Ring to sell at a game swap. It's precisely the type of thematic dudes on a map game that I wanted out of War of the Ring but in the time frame that I can play without having to schedule it weeks in advance. I know it wasn't an exhaustive review but I hope you didn't miss the rule where settlements add their level in dice, so even the Atreides player loses troops, level 3 sietches are very hard to take over.

Backed this on the original KS and so glad I did. We've only played a few times and not yet added the expansions. But with the three playthroughs it has scratched the itch without the time commitments of Rebellion & WOTR. Im looking forward to your thoughts with the expansions. We plan to add them with this weekends play.

absolutely love Dune:WFA

We read the dialoges together as a group and presented our oen characters ofc. Its fun

I keep hearing the 4-player option for this game is substantially better than for Rebellion or War of the Ring. People are actually saying they'd buy it just for the the 4-player implementation. Did you get to play it much at 4?

Sorry you didn't love it. I adore it! Replaces War of the Ring for me outright.

I have a hard time with people commenting on balance of a game when they haven’t played it very much. I’ve played it a few times, and I see what you are saying, but I also can see both factors balancing out each other. I’m not ready to give a verdict yet. But I’m very confident and experienced player will have a higher probability of winning regardless of which side they play. This will also be played a lot more than War of the Ring, because it’s way more approachable in setup and playtime.

I play this with my son and our only experience with Dune is the recent films. He is 13 and always plays the Fremen/Atriedes side and I have to say that neither of us find the Prescience cards random. I feel that anyone that would have watched the recent films then they make sense and we actually find them very thematic 👍 I do find this is a game where we are learning together, so you kinda need that consistent ‘playing partner’ to grow together with this game, Great review 👍 looking forward to what you think of the expansions

Yeah, Dune is one of my favorite science fiction novels of all time, so I am very excited to try this one. I was just talking about this game earlier tonight with a friend that I am planning on playing it with. Can't wait! :-D

"Cone of Silence". That's some Get Smart vibes. I don't remember Cones of Silence in the books. Maybe the "null field"? Guess that's not as cool sounding. Great review, Joel. Always like your perspectives on games. We've disagreed on many points in the past but you're always a fresh voice in a sea of... well, in a sea.

Damn tnx for this review….. I’m definitely not going to buy this 😂

Great video! There are over 100 Dungeon Board Sections now available on my custom board!

interesting that you think the leader abilities are unique and thematic. I heard from other reviews that they were doing the same thing but in different way which made it very boring :D Dune is my favorite book. I haven't played war of the ring yet but I did play star wars rebellion which didn't click a lot with me. Still not sure about this one. I wish it wasn't a huge investment :(

Hearing you say that it’s similar to Star Wars Rebellion really caught my attention. Being able to play it solo is a huge plus, for me. I’m glad the solo mode turned out well and from what you mentioned, it seems to have been done well. I guess I’ll be adding it to my collection. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

I recommend you A gest of Robin Hood . I know you like Cuba Libre. Great video , thank you.

After watching this video, I just ordered the game (+expansion) as a birthday gift for a friend of mine. Hope it gets here in time ^^ I tend to be a bit late when it comes to birthday presents :D

Is it still worth it nowadays?

Just got the revised edition. Totally agree with what you say. Not an amazing game, combat is dull and drawn out HeroQuest. But the compagnie makes it enjoyable. Not enjoying the rulebook. Very scattered, which makes it hard to find answers to questions that arise while playing

Firstly! forgive my Ignorance of this stuff. I am looking around, and found Game Toppers. Went to th website and decided to try youtube first. Anyways,...my question is how well do they stand-up to leaning-on the edges? Would a dumb-player not paying attention, tip! the whole table and get his butt-pushed out the door? How Stable are theyonce assembled? They just "Balance" on another table,...right?

Years later and Mark Latham should be ashamed of having his name on this game. Kickstarter remains unfulfilled with not much to indicate they spent the money on even trying to produce the game. Used kickstarter to get $75 off of backers and then another 25 off gamesfound, but added an extra .50 cent charge so you can't actually complete the purchase of the pledge (can't pay any amount under $1) to be eligible for a refund. And oh hey they are selling the pdf without even giving the pdf to their backers while flooding the reviews with fake accounts to coverup how blatantly generic and boring the game is. If anyone is seeing this years later steer clear of this game and Blacklist games.

As a South African everybody had one of these back in the day....hours of fun 😂

Cards interacting with each other is usually called (soft) synergy 😁

I found you through an old game review where the pinned comment was "I would love to have a backdrop of a game shelf. That's not in the card currently though.".... I wanted to say the quality really improved and I'm happy to see you got your game shelf!

Lumineth are villains.

Finally I found a video that shows off the base box components lol, looked for an hour or so. Not sure if bgg has a single pic of the base box components, cheers! edit: looks like there is, just wasn't obvious before in regards to BGG.

Is there a chance this could be played cooperatively, by all players achieving the leaf collecting in the best possible time?

I finally got a chance to play it (2024) and it's an interesting game. The print and play expansion is interesting, offering new options without changing the game a lot. They should reprint it, with a different theme.

Inserts are important to the value of a game. Talking about them is not boring (to me).

Please advice me to choose which one​​ to be... More funny Repeatable Each time another pleasure No dice or chance Long lasting And at last great pleasure as a solo version also These are: 1)Terraforming Mars 2)Wyrmspan 3)Ark Nova 4)Carnagie 5)Great Western Trial 6)Dune Imperium 7)Lost Ruin of Arnak 8)Meadow 9)Earth 10)Heat Pedal... 11)Cascadia 12)Viticulture 13)Marvel Champions You can also recommend 2 or more... Thank you 🙏

The best thing about HeroQuest is that it DOESN'T REALLY SAY! It's more of a guideline. And the possibilities are endless.

Great to see LoD as your no. 2. I have yet to play, waiting for 1.5 and the new expansion.

Also they added 1 shot mode with preconstructed deck / items (but you could also custoimize with some deck building pretty quickly), and one expansion adds a mini campaign with just 3 bosses. i reall like how they reduced this game to the essence and eliminated unnecessary frills. It is a 4 space board, no dice, just grab a monster and charakters and start playing. and there is a wide decision space from the first round on. it is immediately interesting and choices matter.

Thank you so much for sharing your varied player count experiences. Sounds like a very interesting and fun game!

Would love to see it on Spotify eventually. Great podcast. Thank you.

Great review...how would u rate this 1 to 10?

Great review!

Mh world is actually amazing. Combat is super cool because the weapons play very different

I’ve enjoyed the game so far and I agree with your analysis. My favourite phrase you used was “fluff text”. That was so good.

Thanks for the review. Do you think the expansions are nice to have, or is it recommended for the full experience?

Joel, you rotter! Still haven't got my pledge. Good to see your enthusiasm on this. Makes the wait a bit more bearable.

saw the channel because i was looking at warhammer quest stuff, your other videos are good vibes to listen to while im painting so il def be going through the backlog.

Thanks for this video! I really really wish there were a cardboard standee version of this like with Oathsworn. Last I heard the publisher considers the minis essential to the game and won't make a standee version.

I thought this game would just be a box of plastic with some cool art. Glad (and sad) to see I was wrong. I regret skipping the campaign and really hopes it gets a retail release or does get another crowd funding campaign.

Thanks for the review.

The game definitely doesn't try to be narrative, it's exactly like Monster Hunter. They added some because you need some kind of story for the campaign but you can pretty much skip all of it and jump the reward section without any issue. Plus if you want, you can just play expedition mode and play fights directly without bothering with narration! My favourite game of the year so far!

Comment for the algo =)

Hi Joel, I'm quite surprised that you haven't reviewed 'Circadians Chaos Order'.. There's a lot of depth to it and you guys might find it unique and refreshing. Definitely worth considering to put it on top of your wishlist because if you already reviewed Last Light, this creation has possibly slipped away under your radar, and not rightfully so...

Got the physical copy for like 20 bux on Amazon. Super excited to play! Thanks for the video
