My wife just discovered Allplay games at Gencon and is wanting to try all of them. We picked up Sail, Mind space and Mountain Goats at the convention since they were so inxepensive there. A lot of game in those small boxes. They are great for when we go camping since they take up so little space.

It was a long time ago (4+ years) so my memory is hazy, but I still remember one aspect of my play: I got sacked and stuck into some form of negative feedback loop where I experienced the opposite of a catchup mechanic.

Interesting, I can't quite fathom how that could be. However, I certainly have not played enough times to where I can say confidently that it couldn't happen. I would be curious to know if you had the same experience if you played again. Thanks for sharing, I'm going to go back to the rules and see maybe I missed something with the sacking details.

@@HungryGamerReviews I just recall that we were near end game and my income was back to the starting income. I may have just had the worst build strategy for what came up, I’m not sure. It was our only play so it’s also possible we got the rules wrong.

@@JohnSebastienTaylor Hey John, I can't say for sure what exactly went down for you, but most of the time when this happens it's because the group/person missed a very important rule: save every piece that falls off your castle. If you return them to the supply instead of back into your own stockpile, the game is BRUTAL! It can be a tough game as is, so when you throw those pieces away, it becomes nearly impossible to prosper. Either way, sorry it was rough!

Thank you for this very interesting recap! You put many new titles in my watch list. The main reason I play board game is to interact with people and move away from the computer screen. But, deep down, maybe the real reason, is to have fun and a good time. Which is why I think we have many interest in common. I had on my watchlist: Clank legacy 2, Colab, Stardriven Gateway ( I love Rock Manor games), Star Tycoon. And you made me add: Conquest Princess, Seti, Frozen Frontier, Defenders of the Realm (I played the older version), Above and Below: Haunted, Murray the Ashole Frog. Can't wait to watch your more detailed review/preview video. I was invited to go this year, but I might actually go next year. I have about a dozen friends going every year, would be nice to do it at least one and see if I'm ready to do it again!

I have like 12 games still coming that I backed at some point. I was wondering if any of them would be in this video. NOPE. :P Sort of should have expected that because it's titled hype-worthy. But yeah there are just a LOT of good games coming. It's kinda crazy. Defenders of the Realm was already on my to-watch list. Invincible sounds interesting. Didn't know about Land vs Sea. And Conquest Princess sounds cool too... Rivers of Gold is using the Rokugan world. I recognized it instantly. That's from Legend of the Five Rings. I always loved that theme but the card game never really panned out. I'm now starting my first play of Fateforge... I just went through the rules. It's like a campaign dungeon crawler, with app. That doesn't sound too appealing perhaps, given that there are so many, but.. I got a really good feeling about this one. I managed to snag the Deluxe edition that was still selling at their online store.

I've just learned about this game and am SO EXCITED. Our kids and I love Gloomhaven JOTL. Two girls, 15 and 13 and one boy 9 1/2. We just finished playing it and WANTED to play Gloomhaven "next" but are going to wait on Gloomhaven 2.0 to come out which is like March 2025 or something. I missed backing it and am thinking of just waiting until it's on Amazon or I can get it directly from Cephalophair next summer at this point. Anyway, I started looking for other games "similar," and found Tales from The Red Dragon Inn! School starts back in a week and we won't have 20 hours a week to game anymore. (I teach at their school so we're all home all summer together.) But this looks so amazing!!! It gets rid of all the things I DIDN'T like about GH - tracking mana, setting initiative, figuring out enemy attacks, tracking everything, and leveling up separately (absolutely annoying with kids) - but has everything I love! So yeah, I'm excited!!! Thanks so much for the great review!!

Sought it, got it, sold it. Loved the theme and artwork but after a few plays I found this a real grind. Just felt like as soon as you get rid of one monster, then another two would attach themselves to you… spend most of the time dealing with these and the exploration felt very limited (once you have played a couple of missions you know most of the locations). Also, each scenario has a very limited number of monster types, a bit like Earthborne rangers where one area has certain enemies, but here it is those same enemies for the whole game. Also, I know this is far more streamlined than previous version but set up still felt finicky (especially sorting the location tiles) for the overall length of the game (and I am someone who regularly sets up Voidfall!). Like you say, it is also very swingy… being given an easy random win isn’t much fun…

This is very high on my list of things I think I might really like. Really love the Fallout videogames so the theme fits. Also a somewhat lighter campaign and gameplay then the gloomhavens and agemonias. I played earthborne rangers though and sold it. The movement system was getting annoying after a while. For a mission I needed to go from A to D but then to pass B and C it would involve minutes of setting up decks and rushing skill checks just to get to the location with actual interesting things.

I absolutely LOVE Scarface 1920, but it's absolutely the kind of game that REQUIRES you to leave your emotions on the table. Go out, cause some chaos, brush off the wild moments you get caught up in and just have fun with it. Thankfully it does tend to balance out those overly aggressive players with the Raid track, and I'm yet to see someone actually win by focusing too much on kicking over someone else's toys instead of focusing on building out their resources for sale and being opportunistic with the aggression. It's a big teach, though fortunately flows really nicely once it's clicked in. I also created an orders reference guide (boardgamegeek.com/filepage/257796/scarface-1920-orders-reference-sheets). If you give it another go, make sure you have these handy as they're a huge help.
