    I like that they want to incentivise people to not always go full on war, but seems like the war strategy needs some adjustment... Maybe loosing one culture only even in epoch 2 and 3? Anyways, what is the point of a mechanic which does seldomly work out or won´t be persued due to the negatives...might as well get rid of that then completely...

    I was later told that his storage should not be increased with this power. So, that would help it a bit, but I am still not convinced it is balanced.

  • @joriswitjes5067
    @joriswitjes5067Ай бұрын

    Looks like a cool game! Not sure what to think about the 'randomly remove cards without revealing them according tot the number of players' (in rulebook). If you have 2 players for example you have to remove 30 cards (that's a third of the whole deck!)... it could mean there might only be half of the cards for 1 family in the deck (if 7-8 cards out of those 30 are removed from that family).. not sure if I like that. I'd rather see the family cards divided evenly (10 cards for each famliy).... did you find this to be an 'issue/problem' when you were playing this or not really?

  • @boardgamersteph
    @boardgamerstephАй бұрын

    So we totally agree with you that we would prefer it balanced. We also feel the game is fast enough that even though it is not balanced it still might not matter so much (15 min game). so I can see both sides. It doesn't bother me too much

    Hi there, it was i beautifull video gameplay 😊 i pledge the game, and swear they can rebalance the war aspect of it. Maybe the war monger can attack everyone, but the others players can't. With this single rule change, the warmonger still have all the negative effects, but he will not be afraid about losing territories ora points. Seem fair enough, what do you think?

  • @boardgamersteph
    @boardgamerstephАй бұрын

    I do think that would help the war monger strategy a bunch. Even if they don't change the rules you can house rule it!

    I really enjoy these monthly reviews. First, you both know so many games that you can add context. Second, I appreciate how everything is explained, and that you state the game name at the beginning of the comments and repeat it at the conclusion (for me, so it’s possible to listen as if it’s a podcast while doing something else). It’s fun to hear an overview of the rules / gameplay - even if I’ve played the game. Great choices- and likely others you considered noteworthy A variety of weights and an emphasis on fun!

    Can you put a link to when you start actually talking about games ? The beginning banter about not playing games is boring and will turn people off that actually want to hear about games . Do that banter stuff at the end as final thoughts. Start those videos with " let's get right to it ! " This will help your following count . 😊

    Thanks for the video. I think you are the first who release a lestplay for the 10th anniversary edition of the game. As far as I can see, the font in this version of the game remains the same as it was in the 5th anniversary edition. It received the most criticism, because of this, players preferred to buy the first version of the game. Do you have the opportunity to compare the 10th anniversary edition of the game with the previous ones?
