    I am just loving everything about this premise between the bag building and worker placement mechanics and the high fantasy theme. It just checks all the boxes for me.

    Great tutorial as always! Seems a lot like or at least heavily influenced by lords of waterdeep. At least there’s actually meeples that represent warriors, clerics, etc rather than just cubes! 😀

    I get that, but it looks weird. Especially since none of the other characters have anything meeple specific in their artwork. I am also not a big fan of the overall art. I don’t mind cartoony, but not necessarily 80s Saturday morning cartoon style. Gameplay looks solid though.

    Hey Jon! Question for you, about the game. The person in the comments below said that he had to go to the kickstarter site, to check out the game. When I went to kickstarter, I typed in the game and nothing came up at all. You said the game was a prototype, but you did not say it was coming to kickstarter or when. I tried to contact AEG last night and their auto response said that I might have to wait 6-8 weeks for a response. That may be too late. Can you please give me the where and when this event might take place?

    There is a link in the description of this video which takes you to a kickstarter page for the game. Right now all you can do is click a button to subscribe to it since the campaign hasn't begun. If you do that then you'll get an email when the campaign launches (I believe on March 2nd).

    ​@@JonGetsGames It's not in your title. Nobody should need to load your video to know this is a prototype. Click bait for views, pretty much. Cheap. There's better channels that have fixed this misrepresentation of the products they host. You may want to take by example in the future, or just make it known your entire channel is marketing prototypes somewhere in clear view. Well I am one pleb who looks for useful information on existing products. This will probably mean you wont do a thing to be helpful besides towards your channel. Views for the KZread algorithm. It's a pain in the backside to look up info on games I own to find actual rulesets. I do prefer to be taught visually than shuffling through rulebooks that may very well be confusing or just simply not functional. Your channel, like a few others I've made note to avoid are a waste of time and don't deserve the views they get for misleading what it is they are about.

    @@JonGetsGames Your content is wonderfully put together, and great for when I want to look at a prototype for a game that hasn't been released yet, but it's completely useless once the game is out on the market. Completely useless because I am not going to sift through which of your videos is of the actual game, and which is just a prototype made way back when. Take it as constructive criticism.
