This really was an incredibly well written and thought out review, and I say that as someone who watches and reads a huge number of video and board game reviews. Really great work!

Efka claims to be Banksy to avert attention to him being Batcritic.

Its those damn dino doodles that made me back it.

You're the man.

That Swiss Army Man poster/record in the background caught my eye. What an absurd film! Love it.

I backed the kickstarter and I really like the game. I hear your points, and I get what you are saying, but I still have a lot of fun with the game. So no regrets backing it.

Who would have thought that innovation on the roll and write front would come from... electric pens.

I disagrea with you 100% Love the game. I love the Doddles of dinos and the heavier gameplay this ads compared to other R N W

I've only managed to play this once so far, but I'd say the main thing I experienced was exactly what Efka was talking about: stress! It's so hard to imagine what you might do in future turns, so drawing things in, drawing them in an efficient shape with efficient generator placement and efficient use of roads takes up so much brain power. I think I like it, but it's the crunchiest roll and write I've encountered.

Genuinely laughed out loud at the Nero crossword puzzle. The yes I’ll hold is perfect.

Swiss army man's soundtrack is incredible! You have a quality vinyl collection 👌🏻

I love the vinyl record you have of the Swiss Army Man soundtrack. Such a good movie with great music. Also the game review was great as always...but I mean...that vinyl...

For the record, the dino doodles were from Zak (graphic designer) rather than Beth/Sabrina. Another well-produced and entertaining review overall.

Poor Zak never got the credit! Thanks Bez.

Efka, how did you not ask the most pertinent question about this game? The question that goes to the very heart of the matter. The reason why you didn't like this game as much as you did? Why is the rubber not shaped like a Dinosaur?

Honestly, Efka, have you been losing weight? You're lookin' good these days!

Wondering if making it a sliding scale of points akin to welcome to rather than one off bonus points would improve the arc

I played this last week and, although I enjoyed it, I did realise that I'd lost around turn 2. I twigged that, in turn 1, I hadn't contributed towards both of the available 10 point visitors available to me, so my opponents always were that one step ahead to completing them. Because you can only draw one Dino pen and one facility each turn, I couldn't catch up. Scores in our game were around 100 points, so 20 points is massive.

And now, imagine that everyone is on top of their objectives. The game is then hidden in the margins, and those margins are tiny and obfuscated. Hardly feels like an interesting competition.

Simultaneous actions + Open information + Public first-come-first-served objectives is a recipe for disaster. After one game I was so ready to houserule how objectives are scored or even how the game is played (secret drawing). Kinda like Tiny Epic Quest, this feels like a wasted opportunity (to me).

Great review. Perhaps a “second price”, lower points for completing visitors could balance out the third act? #houserulesfordinodoodles

Can't wait to try this game, thanks!

What was up with the First Class bit?

looks cool but yea if points are mainly from first come first serve cards then that's iffy. seems like a good variant might be play a certain # of rolls and everyone can try for all the cards [they don't get taken by only one completer] wonder how you like Imperial settlers roll write? i've heard some negative things about it lol

To be honest we just used it as a handy prop of another roll and write, even though we haven't had a chance to play it yet. We'll see!

It was the least fun I had at UKGE. I feel there must have been a rule missing or something....

I was next to NPI when they were trying this out one of the nights of UKGE I was going to come over and say hi to tell them how much I love their reviews. Buuuutttt Efka never came up for air!!!! So I can imagine how hard this review was for him after trying to get to knitty gritty of the game. Don't worry I got to meet them the next day and asked him all about it.

Ah, by then I was on my third play. Still confused as heck.

Love NPi reviews... but apart from liking Gloomhaven, I have not agreed on any of the dozens and dozens of reviews I seen from NPI. I like seeing other opinions and like how NPI at least explains why they dislike something, even find it entertaining in the way they highlight these points... yet every time I push play I expect a great review telling me not to get a game, or I end up arguing with the screen about a review I disagree with.

DarkChrisHour So accurate. I have only seen one or two games they actually like being reviewed out of the tons I have watched. Seems also that some of their reasons between videos are kinda contradictory as well where not enough choices is bad but too many is bad as well kinda way.

Lightning is not free??? Oh no, i have to go pay my lightning farmer. Got go!

Definitely disagree, I absolutely love this game so much! Also, not sure what you said, but you can use multiple dice to draw your pen or paths...just means that you are doing "less".

Well, Come to Dino World!

Great review

Nice to see Efka shilling for the rules-teaching authority of the Dragon's Tomb.

Come on let's tackle the elephant in the room... How did you hurt your finger?

Wrong. Dino World is the best roll and write to date.

Y'all British reviewers really like to bury the lead as to weather you like a game or not, all the while making us think you actually like the game

I am giggling at "giant rubber"

Fun fact: in the US, "rubber" is a slang term for 'condom".

Oh, it is also a slang term for a condom in the UK too, hence so much tittering from adolescent school boys in lessons when anybody asks for the rubber. However, once you are out of high school almost no-one chuckles any more because people just refer to condoms as condoms and erasers as rubbers (unless you are being extra careful to avoid titters from juvenile men). 'Johnny' is another slang term for condom, AND 'Rubber Johnny', which is actually where the slang 'Rubber' and 'Johnny' come from :).

*Translator Note: Rubber = Eraser

I disagree :)
