You know how people constantly die in this game and you have to make up new names? (You can only use survival abilities after you've named a character. That's a rule.) One of our players solved this problem by constantly inventing new names based on the old one. Edmure. Edmoor. Eddmure. Etmure. Ettmure. It was starting to drive us crazy, which was funny to him, so he continued. Then we fought the phoenix. It saw him. It unnamed him. He lost his name. Nobody could remember his name. He could no longer use survival abilities. And he could never again go by the same name, or he would cease to exist. The game literally made him break his naming scheme, lol. His new name was Edless, and his next character is called Ariah.

I think the negativeity is more because of the oppertunity cost. You could play KDM or you could play about 50 other games and that's hard thing to justify. I get that if you think of KDM as an RPG with an automated DM the oppertunity cost is less concerning but it's being reviewed in the context of being a board game with the review audience assumed to be boardgamers. It's also pretty clear that Paul doesn't like the theme at all and there's no way that isn't impacting his review. (if it matters I own KDM and have finished a solo run).

The game does occasionally have a tone problem. That's the most offensive example I can think of, though. Most of the rest of the game manages to stay within that survival-horror kind of feel you might get in Bloodbourne or Dark Souls. I think that the White Lion fight was originally developed as a proof of concept in order to pitch the game at conventions and gauge whether or not it would have an audience. This kind of results in the prologue having a different mood then the rest of the game.

They very often hit the common market now with very little exclusives in a lot of cases.

And you forgot to mention the add-ons that can vary the campaign quite a bit, you can replace many of the huntable monsters with others, get new events and even change the basic structure of the campaign through some of the bigger expansions (like immortal heroes etc.).

Amazing review Paul! One note is that the random event deck exists because of encounters like the lonely tree where you shuffle another card in the hunt deck I believe. This game is definitely polarizing and I for one am on the side that wants to live in said blackest of boxes.

Glad to see a review from SuSD! I like you guys a lot and was curious to see what you thought about the game. I wrote up some reactions while watching your video. Sorry it's quite long! Your point about not playing with 4 players is a good one and one shared by most of the community, from what I've seen. Player elimination is a core part of this game an An important thing to note about the version you're reviewing right now is that it includes expansion monsters (just in case folks are thinking all the content there is from the core game). Folks can go to board game geek to find lists of what's in the core game. Early game repetition is definitely a bit of a pain. There's a new expansion being introduced that lets you start developed at about the halfway point of the game. That's not an experience you'll get out of the core game, though. I've found the folks who tend to be most enthusiastic about the game are also fans of the roguelike video game genre, which can also involve large amounts of repetition while trying to achieve mastery, and I can imagine folks who don't like the roguelike genre are going to be more likely to dislike this particular board game. As to the sex: your response is exactly why I like this game's aesthetic. Kingdom Death juxtaposes the sleazy and the obscene/grotesque in a way that cannot be ignored. It's repulsive, and I'm not sure if that repulsiveness is the intent of the creator, but that repulsiveness reveals things about the way Western culture objectifies the human body (and especially the bodies of women), and, to me, what it reveals is fascinating and in keeping with the game's body horror motif. Does this justify it? I don't know if you can ever justify reductive objectification. I do think it communicates something worth thinking about, though. In addition, while this doesn't excuse some of the stylistic choices, there are actually some surprisingly progressive moments of representation in the game. Most of the plastic figures for men and women are equally represented, for instance, outside a few unfortunate cleavage windows, and there are quite a few instances of naked men in the book to go along with the naked women. There's a clear disparity in the intent of their representation, with the men never really being represented in a titilating way, but the new Kickstarter has taken some small steps to even things up again by producing "male pinups" that are explicitly designed to represent men the way that the game already represents women. If you're strongly opposed to sexualizing and objectifying human bodies, this doesn't solve the issue of representation, but there's an entrenched tendency in the miniatures industry to sell cheesecake miniature representations of women, and I can't think of any other company in the market that has acknowledged that representation and made a concrete effort to make up for the disparity in some way. If you compare the representation of women in games like Conan the Barbarian and Super Dungeon Explore, for instance, those games seem to exclusively represent women as objects to be observed and men as subjects acting in the world. I think Kingdom Death, in its bizarre, awkward way, is trying to represent men and women in both ways, and to do so in a way that does not masquerade as polite or acceptable. In the game itself, the women are equal to the men in every way outside of their biological ability to produce children, and they're as often depicted in the art defeating monsters as the men. Kingdom Death's explicit rules enabling same sex partnership is also something I appreciate. There's also inclusion of mechanics for transgender characters in certain of the expanded materials for the game, though those materials are bogged down by the company's tendency to rely on infantile humor. It's fun, to me, to see a game that's willing to include options for people to play characters who are like they are regardless of who they happen to be, and to have an equal (and equally bleak) chance in the world regardless of their sexual orientation and how they choose to identify. I really like your prog rock metaphor. You have me wondering, now, if my love for King Crimson is in some way related to my fascination with Kingdom Death.

@chausser

Just noticed I forgot to finish the second paragraph of the bajillion page essay I ended up writing. I was going to say that player elimination is a core part of the game and it can really hurt the fun of the game if someone gets eliminated early. I hear a lot of people recommending two players for the game or even solo play for that reason. Three is workable, but if you have four players you should run the five or six character variant and you should never really play with more than four players.

Doubtful. I know from personal experience that you can love King Crimson and still hate Kingdom Death. Objectively, it's just a badly designed game with well-sculpted minis (of dubious aesthetics). Imho, the only reason this isn't more widely recognized is the high cost of admittance. No one likes to admit they just wasted a pile of money, after all. I'm really glad the theme just doesn't appeal to me (and I happen to hate having to assemble minis).

For the hunt event cards, the made those to future proof the game for expansions. As you get more expansions you add extra hunt events to the deck.

My friend bought the game and I played it several times. But I soon got bored of it: too frustrating and so little pay off. When you "succeed" ie. survived, (only to die some unimaginable death later...) it felt more like complete luck and random chance, than something I did. And I got the same feeling when my character died. I'd invested time and mental energy into seeing my character somehow survive several encounters and I would be happy, only to have one bad die roll or encounter snuff him out in the blink of an eye. For those who love that kind of emotional payoff, they will love the game: for me - not my cup of tea. For the same frustration, I'd rather play golf... At least the scenery is nicer...

I don't agree with the statements from about 22:00 to 25:00 , but the rest of this was pretty much spot on. (Not counting the conclusion, but that's subjective to everyone.) One thing I would like to point out in the new Kickstarter is the expansion which will let you skip the early phases of the game and jump right in to a settlement that's pretty far along. Beginners should definitely fight the White Lion a few times to learn the flow of things and how to craft and guide the settlement. Once you're a pro, it's pretty safe to skip all that because you know what you're doing and ready to jump right in to the harder stuff. And yeah, it is definitely my thing.

Player Elimination , you then become another survivor from the settlement , in fact you can switch the survivors you take on the hunt , once you have increased the population. A time for some to rest and recover. You gain equipment by population , so you can swap it around between fights and Hunts.

As an owner of the game I can say the amount of paperwork involved is pretty intense. Especially when a survivor who had a glob load of stuff dies. I've found it much easier being able to keep it set up but the packing and noting down of gear for the departing survivors is quite a load to bear.

Thank you SUSD for doing this review, and the owners of the game who lent it to you guys to try. I've pined after this game ever since I've heard about it but that $250 price tag combined with the delayed gratification of waiting till the summer to get it has kept me from purchasing the game. Hearing your closing argument about how it is similar to bad prog rock definitely spoke to me, since I do listen to prog rock and can understand the reference. Personally I'm not a big fan of the horror theme and would prefer these game mechanics (boss fight/settlement phase/crafting/RPG) in a smaller game with maybe tokens and add-on figures to buy in different theme, sci-fi or fantasy.

I'm sorry but that guy's hair in the flashback just wiped my mind of everything I just heard till this point.... I'm not far in to the video, but I'm not sure I can get that epic do out of my mind... it's encapsulated my attention

Seeing the same table set up with several different boards reminds of how few tables I own.

I think you have "The Gates of Delirium" for this review!

Nice review as always but I really think you should mention that the miniatures all come on sprues and will take, literally, dozens of hours to cut out and glue together.

Random hunt events aren't all the same, some of the promotional/expansions add cards to that deck, there's also harvesting/mining events that are on those cards as well, it does seem a bit silly but it's a future-proof for added content. Having said that there is a lot of stuff to keep track of, luckily a friend of mine has made an app for the game which we use to keep track of all the settlement and survivor things.

One thing about tokens/cards/character sheets: Permanent information is on your character sheet, random information is drawn from cards, and tokens are temporary and are all wiped away after a showdown. There are also the square gear cards, but that's intuitive enough. They're items. Information is in a lot of places, but it makes sense once you get into it.

4:54 what is happening with that man's hair? Did he go super saiyan and forget how to go back?

I find this review to be very helpful and informative. I liked the music references. I wanted to get the game, but it did intimidate me. Also, I didn't have the money for it. From what I've seen, lack any personal experience, I would get it if I could afford the monetary cost of the game. I see his argument on the nudity. And nudity isn't bad as long it has a place in the context of the world the story makes. Overall, it looks bleak, intense, and excessive; and I like it. Reminds me of Berserk in board game form. Just wish I had the time and money to spend. Awesome review by the way.

Paul I am not sure if you are really aware of this, but your choices of words and phrases and your communication throughout this review is BRILLIANT. Just a stunning, epic and well thought out review that really borders on poetic at the wonderful conclusion. I say wonderful because it's an amazing conclusion and so well worded, a conclusion that cleverly arrives at the realization that we are all different and will respond differently. Not sure how to say it well, but trying to point out that you did a tremendous job here, thank you!

I laughed quite heartily when you said, "there's a fine line between stupid and clever..." even though I don't think that's true (there's a big gap in case someone needs clarification). your video is definitely on the clever side. and brave too! brave for showing your old haircut... well done, sir. well done. your review has really helped me make my decision regarding the kickstarter. thank you.

He ripped that line off of Spinal Tap

I have played Kingdom Death:Monsters for going on 90 hours now,i play it with my girlfriend and every now and then a 3rd party. Best comparison? Dark souls, it will never give you the full story, everything is brutal, it is random, and when you beat an obstacle for the first few times it gives that "Hell yeah, we/i did this!". For the sake of the emotions this game will bring to you and the quality of it all, and how differnt it is is why i love it, a single session will have brought Joy,Sadness,Exitement,comradery,rivalry,wonder,arguments,feelings of being terrified. No other board-game have ever brought anywhere near what this game does. And a sidenote: If you wanna try it before you buy it, there are really good versions on it on tabletop simulator. This guy´s review is a bit vague on the game, but the game itself is pretty vague and dark, and gritty,evil....You should try it atleast once, if its for you its gonna grab your soul.

Genuine question, did the art bother her?

@@niallreid7664 it didnt, she actually loves to look at it in detail, at most it was a bit of a shock like " they can have this in a game and its allowed? " .

Hi, it's my first time watching a review from this channel. Great work! Pretty entertaining and informative. Thanks for that.

12:35 "You hit the monster right in the ding dong" !!! lol wtf?!

All that zooming in on the Sunstalker's mouth makes me a little apprehensive for encountering it now. Can't be worse than the King's man for the first time, can it? ... can it?
