Quotes (from this video)
- Fallout with the expansions with the California expansion and the atomic bonds um Atomic bonds expansion the small expansion that basically fixes the game uh yeah out of the box wasn't a great game I liked it more than most people did but those expansions greatly Elevate the game it is a great great post-apocalyptic game that does have that unique Fallout feel
- The combat is a little fiddly and just never really feels natural I always forget uh how to solve combat in that game but uh everything else I really like the questing is super cool and just it's a neat world to be in and I think they did a really good job of capturing the uniqueness of Fallout
- But once you start adding in all of the incredible expansions for Defenders of the realm then the game really does feel like this Grand epic adventure game
- It's a cliffhanger game fortune and Glory the Cliffhanger game it has that old Cliffhanger serialized feel to it where you jump for a cliff and you fail that roll and you miss and then on your next turn you have to pick up on that Cliffhanger and you're hanging on by a thread
- This is probably the most unique game on this list and that is B in one aard game all about Brighton and that is the 2022 it's the uh 10th anniversary edition I believe it's the newest edition that he just put out and this is a game all about having a adventurous day in the city of Brighton and it's a modernday urban Adventure game and it is so Charming
- It really is it's impossible to keep up it's impossible to play all the games it's impossible to play the games I want to play enough to to satisfy me because there's just so many things coming out and so many things competing for for our hobby intention

Quotes (from this video)
- man they came really quickly they came I think a day after I had ordered them and they arrived literally minutes after I had edited and uploaded the long review
- I don't need uh boxes in fancy packaging for my expansions because I try to get as much stuff in the base box as possible
- this is where they kind of introduced The Experience system
- so you can start your Heroes out with their Advanced ability and that will add four dots to the hero side and then to balance that out you can also start with some zombie Advanced abilities
- so that's what I'm going to do so here we have our two new hero cards rise to the challenge
- so that's pretty powerful a good zombie swarm card
- so it looks like a hero pack 2 so this is missing all of the her heroes from hero pack 2 that is unfortunate I did not know that
- so you have to go out as the heroes as the survivors you have to go out and find the items and bring them back to your safe space
- so this is kind of a new way to set up the game where you are kind of playing almost a tower defense where you have the hero area and the zombie area
- what would be really cool is if you if the zombie player moved a zombie off the opposite side of the board here and then that zombie came back as as a behemoth zombie or some kind of king zombie that would be super cool that would be a really fun little house rule to play
- so this would allow the zombie player to move towards the hero they want but that's kind of how I play solo I ignore the zombie zombie hunger Rule and I play my zombies more like the zombies in Return of the Living Dead where they do have a little bit of intelligence to make the choices of who they want to attack
- so that was uh revenge of the Dead I think revenge of the Dead sounds the most interesting so far
- nuke it from orbit uh the only chance for survival is to find enough flares to let them know that are still survivors
- so you do need to come up with something for your uh flare tokens if you don't have that expansion
- so that's a a look at the web exclusive expansions for last night on earth if you haven't gotten them yet and you were interested in what they had to offer I hope I provided you some good information
