Darwin's Journey: A J&G Review
Ойындар
This week, Jarom's back with a review... and this time he's sizing up Thundergryph Games' spanking new title featuring everyone's favorite naturalist, Charles Darwin.
Darwin's Journey is... Bold! Burgundy! Beige! Bred to bring out the competitive Victorian plant fan in everyone!
It also addresses the legacy of a historical figure, so OF COURSE Jarom had to inject a few bits of history into the review. He can't help it. We hope you enjoy our smattering of Darwin Facts!
Most importantly, Darwin's Journey seeks to set itself apart in an increasingly crowded genre with an innovative take on worker placement. Is it successful? Let's find out!

Now I want to see a game designed around Victorian beetle collecting!

That's legitimately an excellent concept. We've got 'Botany' coming out next year about Victorian flower collecting, why not beetles?
Darwin was also a fan of board games. Specifically, Backgammon. He played two games a night with his wife who happened to also be his first cousin. I also enjoy oatmeal, but today’s. Great review!

Thanks for the great Darwin Fact! And thanks for checking out the review :)
Did you know Darwin once once rode a beetle. That beetle's name was George Orwell and thats how we got 1984

great review as always guys! I loved the bit about researchers taking the credit for their undergrad assistant’s work, it was too real😂

We're glad you enjoyed it! Yes... the war ravaged wastelands of academia are not easily forgotten 😂😂
Sounds like an interesting game to play. Lets try it!
I wish I was as obsessed with beetles as Darwin was. Anyway. I love the idea of worker placement with personalities!

The world would be a better place if we all were, I think. 🤔
Another stellar review... (don't underestimate the power of yesterdays oatmeal, though... oatmeal of today is still learning the world around it, but oatmeal of yesterday has head plenty of time to scheme...)

This made me picture ancient oatmeal as a Lovecraftian monster, which would make the Quaker Oats guy its cultist emissary, and ngl I am all in. This is marvelous.

Great video, got the game today and cannot wait to try it. Although I think it might be a little too "take that" for our usual taste...
