Quotes (from this video)
- Academy deep water games really good to play a games yeah we freakin yeah this is one of our last ones against the table out of everything we purchased but it's a quick little jewel simple rules deep strategy and quick so I very much recommend this one yep I know that you want to play once you play it feels playing this terran wants to play against her away because I think he's that because I want the game know I was working fun because okay just let me have the last week okay yeah it is quick and fun but I was I got my bad thing I was a little bit late at night and we didn't end up playing good again but we'll definitely play again
- next is roughly guard position we have the other view for you of this one as well it's a social reduction game yep social reduction sedna Magic the Gathering universe yeah for me we haven't we haven't got a group of people around to play this one yet but I like its idea and I like that it is a biscuit now we've had it yeah because if you've watched a vlog from a couple of months ago I always struggle with the blank slate nature of a game like Avalon or werewolf this one structures things a bit better specific events are going to happen right you can respond to those that's that's what I prefer in a social reduction game and I think this puts it together pretty nicely we really need to get a group together that can play this with us because our normal gaming group is usually four because most games can be played with four so our gaming group is naturally for people
- next one if it's not you'll play a game trick-taking game called claim by deep water games yep I think like we don't play a lot of trick taking games I played a lot of 503 university but Stella didn't say yeah it's still fun though we'd see the twists with a special power of which sections trying to claim throne yep I think what I would say for this game I've seen a few modern trick-taking games out there and they all have these twists on gaining points in certain ways of trying to get certain cards I like this one because it's not too convoluted each suit has a relatively simple ability that you've got to manage it's not like you know this number does this and this suit gives you that sort of points it's like you know just trying to get suit majorities and each suit has a small ability that doesn't throw the the standards of trick-taking out and so I think this is one of the best design modern tricked design bicycle else hi Scott yep considering I haven't actually played a lot of trick-taking units this one's pretty easy
- so please a some pads here which is the welcome to expansions oh thank all of those outs away yep so this one's the Easter egg hunts Halloween the bomb shelters they do all change up the game changer game out quite a bit and I think the one that's stood out in my mind we played doomsday and it was the shortest game welcome to with a plague by far because the three the three objectives we were playing just you could complete them all in one street essentially and so we were done so quickly and I did not adjust my strategy I can't even thank you I can't remember we're playing for you this is one of our my favorite go-to when it just have two of us or there many people wanting to play
- and that's the the Roland rifle Copenhagen alright that's a really good quality Roland right it is currently a diploma filament is on Kickstarter yep yep yeah it's it plays very quickly it has some clear strategies you can go for with different types of colors you get I think they've put together a really good lead and follow Roland right there yeah there's another one as well that is steel prototype which is for plant so they're still in development and they're still changing up the rules changing up the card so it's a little bit like welcome to is this by the same publisher is welcome to which is support against so it we play it once it has got that similar sort of taste - welcome - when you put which one you're gonna do you know which one you're gonna solve face and so on that's very interesting
- yeah there's another one as well that is steel prototype which is for plant so they're still in development and they're still changing up the rules changing up the card so it's a little bit like welcome to is this by the same publisher is welcome to which is support against so it we play it once it has got that similar sort of taste - welcome - when you put which one you're gonna do you know which one you're gonna solve face and so on that's very interesting

- I
- I was never super into the video game, frankly. So, I'm not I don't have the nostalgia for it.
- I'm also not really into army games, so like the scale of it, not the physical scale of the models, but how many models there are is also not really my thing.
- I always love making lore for my miniatures in Trench Crusade. It's just so interesting making backstory for each of them.
- I love the new GW Cog fort model, but is anyone going to make a squadron and buy four of them at $210 a piece?
- The white ones are definitely the type that don't take rattle can.
- Shatterpoint biggest problem wasn't really the game. I think it was the feeling of the neglect.
- That walking building sure is cool. Assume I can buy it and it's not totally sold out already.
- Metal minis, that's a tough one. I'm not good at those.
- Sets one and two are grim dark, but three and four lean into the Wim dark. Oh, I like the word whim dark. That's fun.
- I'm going to be working on these guys, which are um the naval raiders from uh Trench Crusade.
- It's such a fun world to build inside.
- I'm probably going to paint these guys up and then when the plastics come out, I'll probably just redo them.

- So, we're going to jump right into these here. I'm going to take a look at them and tell you what I think about them.
- This game is now 20 years old.
- It's not nearly as good as made by the people who made War of the Ring.
- This is my favorite because all the pieces move like rooks sort of and you're trying to take over other people's pieces and each one has a special power and I like the theming of it.
- Layers expansions bring it up to a nine. Layers is amazing.
- I think the base game is fine, but when you I mean it's it's very it's enjoyable, but when you add the expansion it's fantastic.
- Nothing here I think is amazing.
