BoardGameBollocks

We fumble through board game play-through's and reviews once or twice a week with videos in 4K.

We don’t much care for rules and we always make mistakes so don’t take it personally if we screw up your beloved Euro game...we had fun doing it 😉

You’ll most likely get a loose tutorial in the play-through's before we start playing so if that isn’t for you then just skip ahead.

    I find that most people complaining about the humans never use the trogs. The key to stopping humans is simply getting minis on the board, they do not have to be yours. The game does NOT make this clear. And if you dont summon some trogs humans take free control and its too hard to stop them. Spend your first 2 turns getting trogs spawned on the human side, and the game will be perfectly balanced (humans can still win, but it wont be easy). That kind of mandatory policing can be a huge turn-off, but i highly recommend it. Machines also benefit greatly from doing this (since killing trogs = points)

    This print of the game is pretty terrible. The second TSR print 1992 was pretty solid.

    This confirmed my suspicion that this will be over-hyped due to "pro planet eco-fairyness" fetish by other reviews and I wasn't wrong there. To me, on top of the horrible component quality the artworks are VERY hit or miss. Game mechanisms are nothing spectacular, with typical deck building game tropes. Mediocre gameplay wrapped in a good variety and interesting - plus absurd money milking of the eco hype.

    There’s cartoon art work that looks like it’s been lifted from an episode of Dr Snuggles and then there’s the other stuff. Horrid monochrome tat that makes me want to run sand paper on my face.

    I did not think that I needed to watch a Board game review by someone who appears to have come from a Guy Richie movie, but I was wrong, so very wrong. This was a really wonderfully honest review that cut through a lot of the normall bollocks. Thank you

    What's all this Bollocks? Well done sir. I lost my mom to a very agressive and fast pancreatic cancer back in 2013. She was only 59. She started running in her 50s and so of course im going to chuck you a few quid. Hope you'll have recovered by UKGE! Good Luck mate!
