Description
Freyja, the Norse goddess of fertility, joins Thor in Asgaard for a wedding along with all the proven warriors from Grimheim. You’re not one of them. Loki, the trickster god, sees his chance to destroy Freyja’s sacred well in Grimheim. Soon, monsters appear from all directions, advancing towards the small village where you are now the only defenders left. Kill monsters to gain experience and upgrade your hero, solve quests to discover weapons and equipment, and stand shoulder to shoulder with your friends against the mighty monsters of Norse mythology. The fate of Grimheim is in your hands.
Fate is a cooperative game where players who take the roles of talented but unexperienced heroes. Together, they defend Freyja’s well against trolls, the dead, and the fire horde monsters approaching from all sides of the game board. Each time a monster enters Grimheim, a town piece is destroyed. All players lose if the town is completely destroyed, but they win if at least Freyja’s Well remains when she returns at the end of the game

Quotes (from this video)
- It is a game that it is fun it is exciting it is tough which is something that I want in a cooperative game.
- I feel like I've gotten to the point now where if I read the rules to a board game I can Peg it pretty well I can just say this is going to be fun I can tell U from the get-go.
- At its heart a tower defense game.
- I love games that do that where they have the rules printed on the board so you don't have to go back to the rules.
- Combat is really really really simple. [...] just one die roll done, apply the damage, move on. Super cool, super straightforward, and it doesn't bog the game down at all.
- The solo game is awesome it just is.
- It's tough to get that feeling of 'oh my gosh, this is like super cool' after you've been doing something for a long time.
- It's cool to be powerful and like oh I I I crushed the the the undead and I won this but it's also really cool to be like just kind of stand back and watch somebody else do something awesome knowing that you know you kind of helped them down that path to get that.

Quotes (from this video)
- Welcome folks to the Hungry Gamers back with another episode of the monthly menu.
- And today we're talking about the top five games of March 2025.
- And apologies for this being about a week late.
- As I mentioned in the last monthly menu, I've been working on a play. Canadian Kev was actually down here directing the play and that has now just opened.
- And of course I promptly got sick and I'm still recovering from that.
- So everything's been a little bit behind, a little bit slow, but here we are. Monthly menu.
- And before I go any further, a quick call out to Fight in a Box Games, who have the greatest t-shirts in the world, and I bought one right here. You can see little dumpster fire t-shirt. I highly recommend getting one. I love them. They're great and very much illustrative of the state of the world in my opinion.
- Anyhow, as a reminder, what this is is this is the games that hit my table the most in the month of March.
- And as always, digital plays, if they're done in real time, count. I count them as less than a real time meat space play and so on.
- But jumping right in to last month's picks, we started out with the list. didn't happen.
- Next, we had STI. Again, I was being hopeful that I would get that to the table, but it was going to have to happen before Canadian Kev got down here. He's not a huge Eurogame lover.
- And so again, another month, second month in a row, it remains on the unplayed list.
- Next, we had Reckeners. That was one that I said I was confident was going to get played the night that I recorded the monthly menu.
- And yes, it did. We played against one of the expansion bosses, Regalia, and we did a whole five player game and had a good time.
- I learned that I don't think Reckeners is at its best at five. I think it's at its best at three or four.
- But again, still a really good game because everybody is involved every single turn. that works really, really well with a large player count.
- Love Reckoners. Really happy to keep on playing it.
- Next on the list is Aridia and yes, absolutely played it. We played two or three different games.
- Canadian Kev, myself, Mrs. Hungry Gamer. I don't know that Mrs. Hungry Gamer is going to keep playing just with our time, but she might.
- Canadian Kev, he's obviously has left to come back to Canada, so I'll be taking over his character.
- Suspicions this is going to wind up on a most played of the month several times throughout the year. really enjoying it.
- And then the last one was Moon Rollers from IV Games and I just didn't get to it and just one of those that with rehearsals just did not have the time.
- So, moving into the top five games of the month and as you can imagine, it is a little bit of a lighter playlist than I normally have because I was rehearsing this play in the evenings and so on.
- But coming at number five, that is Zombicide White Death, the retail edition.
- And I enjoy Zombide. I have a video out about it.
- I think it is. Well, it is Zombicide. Nothing new there. Everything the same.
- Really good minis, quick, easy combat.
- But this one adds this really interesting bit of strategy with the way the walls work in Zombicide.
- Fast setup, easy to play.
- Probably want to chase down like one kind of monster expansion or something if if they have those.
- I can't remember if Zombicide has those that or if that's just Massive Darkness.
- But good, solid, quick, easy to get to the table, fast to play. Every game is new. Can't really complain about it. Had a had a very good time with it. Enjoyed it.
- Number four on the list is Wandering Galaxy.
- Now, this is a neat one to me because I got to play this several times during the month with Jerry Hawthorne, the designer, who has become a buddy of mine over past few years.
- and he zoomed in to our sessions cuz he obviously has his own sessions, his own cards.
- and he ran one of the different stations that was a little bit easier to kind of just give off to somebody on his own.
- And so we actually got to play through and I got to play several sessions with Jerry.
- We finished an entire campaign. We just finished it uh yesterday and it's just great. It's just so very good.
- I loved loved love playing this game. I'm absolutely going I'm absolutely going to try solo campaign.
- Really really really enjoyed it.
- In my opinion, it took all the issues I had with both of the other games and it's wiped them away and it's just so so much fun.
- I'm actually really looking to trying this one solo whereas the others I really wasn't interested in playing solo as much as I liked the games.
- Moving into number three, that is Elder Scrolls: Betrayal: The Second Era.
- And this is one that only got a few sessions played, but these are long games.
- and Canadian Kev is a huge fan.
- And so he came down, I we put it out, I made a really dumb character using the expansion material that I didn't really know if it was a good idea to pick these abilities right out of the gate and the answer is no, it wasn't, but man, we made a good show of it for a little bit and then we just got waxed.
- It's a very good game. Really, really good.
- I don't know anything about the Elder Scrolls universe, so I probably care less than many other people do.
- It's not knocking too many bones off the list for me right now, but it is very good. It is very fun, really enjoyable, great character creation, just all around a very, very good game.
- Coming at number two is one that I have to say thank you to Aldi from Board GameGeeek who told me to check this thing out cuz it was a lovely surprise to him, and that is a game called Fate: Defenders of Grimheim.
- And this is a tower defense game where you're sending your Vikings out all around the board to beat back the hordes trying to destroy Grimheim.
- And as you're doing that, you'll be leveling up by defeating monsters. Then you get new abilities or you can advance abilities.
- But you also have gear that you can go collect if you go do a thing. It might be as simple as go spend an attack action in the bandit camp somewhere on the board. Get a new gear.
- And as you're going through, you're just increasing all these things that you can do. So turns get more and more powerful as it gets more and more desperate.
- Very, very easy to play, but very, very fun and has this wonderful art and wonderful sense of humor to it.
- Just I adore it. So good.
- That brings us to number one on the list, and that is Aridia.
- I've talked about this a lot. I waited years for this game, and it takes a little bit to get into it.
- You got to kind of learn what's going on and I need to get it back to the table before I lose it.
- But a really good start to this campaign for me. I've already played four games. I'm still calling it a start. I'm digging in.
- It looks beautiful. It's huge. I mean, it's right it's right it's right here. You can't quite see it, but it's this massive box. It's got so much in it, but it's just a beautiful game. Great components.
- Interesting things going on. My only thing so far is I had a little bit of a hard time figuring out kind of where some of the cards are supposed to go, but now that I've get that figured out, it's really moving and really cooking.
- So, really pleased with Aridia so far. Looking forward to playing more of it.
- So, moving into my picks for the month. Third month in a row is going to be on here. I'm hoping I can get original Dawn to play this with me sometime soon. Just I like it. I just need to play it.
- Next is the list. I am not confident the list is going to happen because Mrs. Hungry Gamer, now that I am not super busy, she is super busy. So, I don't think it's going to happen.
- We have like four games left on the list to play and we just keep not getting to them. But maybe hopefully, I don't know.
- Next on the list is Red Dragon in. Just regular old Red Dragon in. It's one of my favorite games that I shouldn't like.
- And I say that because it's just mean pure. Take that. But I love the art. I love the characters. They even have the characters feel very different even though at their core they are the same.
- I got tons of characters and I always have a great time. It's just such a wonderful way to kind of end a game night. So want to get that played. Love it always.
- Next is one that I just got for review and that is Azul Duel.
- And I've always been more of a cigarada than a Zulu fan. And I put them together cuz it kind of came out roughly the same time. They're both very pretty.
- But I've played a fair amount of Azul and I've heard great things about Azul Duel and there had an opportunity to review it. So I got it. It's here and looking forward to that.
- And the last one is right here. This is from 21st Century Games and that is Run Run Run.
- And this is a co-op game where you are a cat trying to get away from like dog mummy things going through a dungeon.
- And Beatatric, the board game dog, clearly doesn't approve of it, but she also understands like cats are the worst. Chase them out of here.
- In fact, she has one cat that likes to taunt her in the backyard. It's always drama early in the morning. I have to wake up for it.
- But I had to have it. And 21st Century Games was nice enough to send it to me. I'm really looking forward to trying this one.
- So, those are my picks for April. I am not confident I'm going get all of them. I'm hoping to get maybe three of them. That's my hope.
- So, next thing, as always, I have to say thank you to Noble Knight Games for being my sponsor.
- What that means is they give me some store credit every month.
- And if you buy games from their store, which I do recommend because you can find a whole bunch of used games there and new games, prices will vary depending on how rare it is that you're looking for.
- But it's a place that I've been using since the very beginning of my gaming adventure before I even had a channel.
- So, I've always been a fan of them.
- But if you make a purchase using my link down in the description, I will get a small percentage as store credit.
- and that does come back around and turn into stuff that gets covered on the channel.
- And then more importantly, sorry, Noble Knight, are my channel members as always. You can see their names scrolling across the bottom. Thank you very much to all of you for supporting the channel.
- As I always say, every single month I do this. This is what allows me to continue to slowly improve things.
- It got us the Beatric Cam. It got us better audio for when I'm recording, you know, the top down view. allows me to do better recording of multiple people if I'm playing two-player playthroughs and things like that and better lights and so on and so on.
- So, thank you to everybody who is a channel member. It really is so very helpful.
- You can come in at 99 cents all the way up to like 10 bucks a month up to you. Different things you get at every level.
- At the very least, at the 99 cent level, you're going to get advanced viewing of stuff and extra opportunities to win giveaways and those kinds of things.
- I am not going to be so tacky as to say I could not do this without you because I did do this without you and I would continue to do this without you.
- But it does allow me to do more and get better stuff and occasionally cover things that you specifically ask me to cover.
- So, thank you very very much. Please consider becoming a channel member if you'd like.
- That is the monthly menu for March 2025.
- As always, if you found this video useful, please like, subscribe, share, maybe become a channel member.
- Thank you so much for watching. Have a wonderful, wonderful day.

Quotes (from this video)
- The reason that I do this starting in November is I've started doing my calendar year, I guess. Is that my fiscal year? I'm not making any money, but my fiscal year, I guess, from November to November.
- So, what I do is I go back, I look at all the games I've played all year, and then I take those and in the month of November and into December, as necessary, I replay all of those games.
- And so, what I've done this year is I have expanded the categories just a little, but I've split a category up that I had last year just a little bit to really try to lock in a way for me to rate these games.
- And so the categories this year are going to be story, theme, and so I pulled story out of theme because story and games just matters a ton to me. I love story and games.
- Next is weight. And this one is the most gimme of all of them because truth be told, there is a sweet spot for me in weights that I most enjoy.
- And the last one is I'm adding this year, which is kind of in honor of my students vibes. Just how am I feeling about it? Right?
- And at the end, whichever game has the lowest number, that's going to be the winner.
- And the first one is Wandering Galaxy. This is a game from Platack Games and Jerry Hawthorne which took two preceding games of Forgotten Waters and Freelancers from Plahat Games and just distilled it to close to perfection.
- And this is an evolution of Pandemic and I'm told of the Pandemic Fall of Rome series.
- And this is the first truly open world game that has really grabbed me.
- And then the last one is my only dungeon crawl on the list and I'm so happy that it is on this list because I waited I don't know four years for this game.

- My game of the year for 2025 is none other than Wandering Galaxy, designed by Jerry Hawthorne and published by Pla Hat Games.
- I would love to get that to the table right now.
- Stellagbite Deeper Caverns takes a fun game that maybe had a little bit of a limited shelf life and sends it into the stratosphere when it comes to replay.

Quotes (from this video)
- Hey everybody, welcome to the final episode of Shelf Life for December of 2025, where I look back at games I covered in May of this year and discuss which ones are still in my collection.
- It was fine. Nothing too amazing for me. I enjoyed my time with it, but not one I would come back to.
- Holy crap, I forgot about this one. This was so much fun.
- When is this game coming? I want to play this.
- Uh seven of them covered a lot of games all at once. And these were fine.
- This is also a call. I did enjoy the core gameplay pretty well.
- This is a game I called even though I love it.
- I adored this game, one of my favorites of the year.
- Take everything I just said about Life of the Amazonian. Repeat it.
- I should have kept it, but I just got too aggressive with my culling.
- And that's only because it fits in the same box.
- this one's just more tracks that are okay and have a bit of a cool mechanic on one of them.
- yes, this is not a high recommend. I would not buy this myself. I would not keep it if they hadn't sent it to me.
- this is what I really love the design of.
- So, it's still a recommended game. I think it's a great design. Uh but I am getting rid of it just because I don't really play it much.
- I don't remember this one spec it had the drowning mechanic. I know that where it would actually attach to your Phoenix and it's kind of like extra damage on your character unless you can get rid of it. I thought that was pretty interesting.
- Overall, this was a tough tough month just cuz I got a little call crazy. I actually loved a lot of the games for this month, but I only kept one, not counting the expansions for existing games.
