Bitoku seems like the most absolutely charming and gorgeous clusterfuck of a game

Whatever the descriptors used, it’s a bag of awesomeness

Honestly, watching the explainer of bitoku was like a spoof of complex boardgames.

Check out the rules video for Feudum. I thought it was a parody the first time I watched it. kzread.info/dash/bejne/l619k7CJcazYkpM.html

Wait until you play Bitoku solo! Ai works totally different!

I've played Brick & Mortar before, and I will say it has some of the most tense and stress-inducing auctions I've ever seen in any game before.

@@Rugerfred Ooh, that's a tough call! Less expensive than in Tramways, but it's hard to compare the tension since I haven't yet played Tramways at the max player count, where I'm sure it's brutal. Regardless, my opinion would by biased anyhow since my underlying design goal of Brick & Mortar was to whittle it down to make every decision as tense as possible to capture the feel of barely scraping by in a competitive retail landscape. ;-)

@@octoraffegames thank you for your reply! I'm definitely intrigued by Brick & Mortar. It partially reminded me of Smartphone Inc., that's one of my favourite eurogames of the last years. Do you have any suggestion on how/where to find Brick & Mortar in Italy? I would love to not be put under a bridge by insane shipping costs. :)

Bitoku looks beautiful but also very very busy. Still on the fence about that one.

Have to agree, I have some games I can't play with my fiancee because looking at the board gives her a migraine. I don't think there's any way I could sell her on that one, no matter how beautiful it is.

@@omfganinja As a French-speaker, I must say that the innuendo in your comment is through the roof.

Mythic Mischief is kind of reminiscent of Santorini minus the building but adding RPG level-up elements. I might have to check it out.

Devir keep coming out with great looking games!!!!

"Bitoku" such a great (wink wink) sounding name for French players, hahaha! :D

Good grief, your run through of Bitoku gave me empathy for the normies who cut me off halfway through explaining Catan.

It's not that bad when you learn it

Bitoku and Icaion were my favorites here. Great video.

Hearing "Bitoku is simpler than you might think" was a bit misleading. Now I feel like I'm in a very hot bath of rules.

Hot rules? Like No Shirt rules?

I feel like the LCD Soundsystem poster was the fourth cast member during these previews, and I missed it during the last half of this video.

The genre of game I’m most into but can be tough on the ole preview format! Great stuff SU&SD 👍

Brick & mortar looks like a fantastic game

Great previews as always, keep up the great work! Of all the games featured here, I'm the most interested in Bitoku, but I am having trouble finding anywhere to source the game online; do you happen to have a link to the game or know when it will be available to purchase?

Bitoku segment looks like a parody of a euroboardgame review (preview)

Termite Towers looks fun

It's too bad all those diamonds and rubies disintegrated in 2 days in my brick and mortar store. Tragic.

Mystic Mischief would've been a better name. I wonder why they went with Mythic instead.

"Brick & Mortar" sounds like evil twins of Rick & Morty.

Isle of cats is already out why you playing prototype on computer?

I REALLY hope they change BITOKU 's name for a french language release.

Are these paid promotions?

@tigriscallidus4477

KZread shows the "contains payed advertisement" so I guess so. These are payed previews during awshux. (Publisher pay to get their game previewd)

Why are you reviewing Isle of Cats, when it's a computer game, not a board game?

"Bitoku" isn't a judicious name for the french market. (I'm ashamed for this miserable joke)

I may just be a boardgame newbie, but Icarion feels more like an ameriTrash from this explanation. Or it's more of a euro because of worker placement?

That was for sure the hardest game to categorise this show, it has elements of a lot genres! Definitely could have fit in the Thematic video as well, but we figured the euro and abstract mechanics slightly outweighed the rest.
