Quotes (from this video)

Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the discriminating gamer.
This is Fury of Dracula, the fifth edition. Now this is a game of deduction and gothic horror.
My recommendation is five players. That is my favorite way to play this game.
Now, you got to find the count before time runs out. That's the whole point of this game is you Dracula's running around the board, he's trying to hide, everyone's trying to find him, okay?
Fury of Dracula has always been one of the favorites.
This fifth edition looks really good. I can't wait to try the new style, the new game mode. I can't wait to play the new character.
Fifth edition is going to come with a new character to play and it's also going to come with a faster game mode, both of which I am so excited to play and I cannot wait to get this one to the table.
Great game. I'm really curious to see how this one plays out.
England doesn't have a kidney bank, but it does have a Liverpool.

Quotes (from this video)

Shadows Over Camelot. Now, I used to say that this is probably one of the most thematic games that I've ever played.
In the Hall of the Mountain King. Now, this was 97 last year and 76 the year before. So, it's hanging on.
Warhammer Underworlds. I probably have close to 10 to 12 different war bands that you can play with this game, but I think I probably have only I don't think I've put together like four of them.
Terracotta Army. Terracotta Army was my 96 last year and my 67 the year before.
Jackal and Hyde versus Scotland Yard. Another Vincent Dut Trade artwork game. Uh but really it's the mechanisms um that really made this one fun for me.
Comic Hunters is a really cool game where you are drafting all different kind of comic book covers.
Cities. It's really an interesting thing. And one of the cool things about it is that the game does come with a a good number of different cities.
Decorum. This is from Charlie and Harry Mlin and Drew Tennbomb and Floodgate Games. I really like Decorum.
Fury of Dracula. Now, I specifically have the uh third edition, but I think the fourth edition is the same.
Nar. Um, what makes Nar such a fantastic game is that it really is a race. Everything that you're doing in this is speed of getting to the 40 points and being done.
Criminally low. That's all I'm going to say. [referring to Nár's rank]

This might be my favorite list of the of the top 100 that we do.

Lift with your legs, people. LIFT WITH YOUR LEGS.
You get to live the fantasy of being a mushroom.
That was the best sentence that I've ever heard anyone say. That was amazing.
This is a Euro game. This looks like a giant miniature war game, but it's at its core, in my opinion, a a resource gathering Euro game.
Screw it. Take my money.
The mechanics I love, but the theme is just so on point.
It's a 'thinky' game. Like there's a difference.
It's a big pivot game cuz you're going to get blocked. It's going to happen.

This is actually my intro game that I will play for anyone that thinks that Catan is still the big board game to play, right?
No, let me show you what games can do. And it's like, 'I'm going to be this, and you're going to try and catch me.'
I will sometimes fudge the rules to make it shorter.
And when third edition came out, I think they did a a better job of cleaning up the game without making it so clean that it became just about moving this to that and getting that and without it becoming Pandemic.

Fantasy Flight and Games Workshop have decided to concede their partnership meaning that they will no longer be working together
and there's one game on here that actually crushes my soul and and basically is the reason why I'm making this video
Talisman is my absolute favorite game
it's it's all of them like it's not just like the first edition or second edition it's all
the more I think about it the more I think that Fantasy Flight actually is not going to be hurt by this
A New Path forward so that could mean that they obviously it wasn't just like oh oh I I I thought we were in good standing I thought we were you know everything was going well
and if you do like these games and Games Workshop is just taking them probably expect the price to go up

Quotes (from this video)

In terms of light filler card games, this one is a real standout to me.
It adds this fun bit of tension for a really light little set collecting game.
And adding that shuffle push your luck mechanism to a draft that you've manipulated really really worked well.
It's a good game. Highly recommend it. Very approachable. Even though it has those couple of uh very gamery mechanisms in it, it's very family level friendly. It'll be a perfect filler for people who like heavy down to light games.
They always have great components, great artworks and this is a great engine building.
Yes, this is, you know, this style of game, the arknova ants, terraforming Mars type of game where you've got the giant deck and the major thing you're trying to do is get a big tableau of those and most of them do something immediately and some of them give you ongoings and some end game points.
I always say that's the one of the things that frustrates me about or terraforming Mars is that you are mining the deck for things randomly.

Overall sentiment (raw)

Pros

The quick variant makes the game much more accessible and playable in a shorter time frame.
The game escalates well and tells a story.
The quick mode gets players into the thick of the game quickly, removing the sometimes dull first part.
Sea travel has been streamlined for quicker movement.

Cons

The quick mode is a less perfect game compared to the full version.
The quick mode might not scratch the itch for players familiar with the long game.
The game can be swingy due to event cards and map changes.
The initial combat in the quick mode can be very punishing for Dracula due to starting items.

Thematic elements

Dracula myth/legend, hunting Dracula
Europe

Comparison games

Nemesis
Hako Owner
Terraforming Mars Prelude
SETI Space Agencies
One through the Ages

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)

Hidden Movement — One player takes on the role of Dracula and through hidden movement tries to run around Europe keeping secret and increasing influence.
One vs. Many — One player takes on the role of Dracula and the other players are hunters.
Set Collection — Hunters look for item cards like weapons or other helpful things.

Variable player powers — Each hunter has unique abilities and items, and there's an optional additional hunter, Jonathan Harker.

Quotes (from this video)

One player takes on the role of Dracula and through hidden movement uh tries to basically run around Europe keeping secret and increasing influence.
Now the key thing to ask up front is what is new here or into a fifth edition.
So, it's still very much that core game that's been big for many years, but it also now introduces a quick variant, a streamline variant that you can play in shorter time.
Fury of Dracula has always been a very long night when you play it.
It's a good game and it's it's a game that escalates well like it has that same thing that Nemesis has or Hako owner or a couple of games like that where it's kind of telling a noir story or a mysterious story as well as being a balanced game.
The journey is half of the fun.
The question of is it balanced? I think it's swinging.
I think the quick mode is a less perfect game.
I think if you play a lot of long mode, it probably won't scratch the itch that you're after.
Don't don't do the exact sequence that I did because it was bad.

Quotes (from this video)

So, Talisman Saga's Crown of Blood. This is the third expansion for Talisman fifth edition, which came out in 2024.
The English version of the game, but we're not going to get it in retail in the UK until 2027.
Oh, my god, this sounds entirely political. I don't think I like this anymore.
And Crown of Blood is a Dracula themed expansion. So, from a company point of view, they're pushing the Dracula theme this year, which is why we have Talisman Saga's Crown of Blood.
So, uh, what we do folks is we do all things Talisman. We are big gamers, board gamers.
I know there's a lot of Talisman fans that don't like what Avalon Hill are doing with fifth edition. Specifically, rather than producing content expansions, they have so far produced alternative ways to play, which personally I think is really good.
My fears have been confirmed. Denied. 100% confirmed.
This card uh the character card in this expansion, the investigator Mina, and I was like, God, that that's so tight. That's so thin.
They have skimped on the um the thickness of the card.
If you don't if you don't say anything now forever hold your peace. You'll never you'll never get those nice cards that you're looking for. Yeah. Ever. And that's your fault, John.

Dexterity games are not ball games.

My main point of contention with Drillers is maybe it might run long with too many players and there is a little bit of downtime in the game when you're waiting.

Pros

Not a bad game
Death of Dracula was last Friday

Last Friday is easier to teach
Last Friday's round reset means a strong first act as killer doesn't determine outcome

Cons

Pain to teach people
New players playing Dracula will struggle and have to ask questions
Experienced Dracula against unaware players will run rings around them
Too much happening in the game
19980s game with a lot of moving parts and extra rules that might not add much

hello and welcome to games that left my collection in 2018 this is a list of 10 games I've gotten rid of over the last year or so
not every game needs to stay in your collection especially not if you found a game that does much the same thing only a lot better for you
I don't have to be the one that owns everything I don't have to be the person in the group that owns every single game other people can own games and I can borrow them off them that's fine that's great
it's actually quite neat for other people in your group to go actually this is the game I want to own I want to add this to my shelf and for you to go cool you you get that one that's awesome I don't need every single game
the app absolutely killed my interest in playing this as a solo on the tabletop or as a multiplayer game
all I could think was this is an improved version of Arkham Horror wow I must be totally out of line with what everyone else is thinking because I'm not enjoying this at all
it really bugs me when the optimal way to play someone is so utterly boring
one thing that drove me up the wall was when a character would be at one location discover a clue but then anyone could act on it so if you were on the opposite side of the map you could go and complete that assignment and it just didn't make any sense to me
Foreclosed is just rubbish
you either have to play down so people can learn the game or you play your ability and people just get stomped
it's just because the groups I play with if they want that hidden Trader experience they're going to play Battle Star Galactica and shadows of Camelot just occupied much of the same space
no game is for everyone and Through the Ages is not for me
it's just such a time consumer there's so much fiddling around with cubes and the game just has a heck of a lot of downtime when it's someone else's turn
my only real regret with this one is that I got rid of it just before I started the channel because despite my reservations with the game I think it's one that would do quite well as a 3-minute recap

Yeah, dude. I was uh on on a side note, I was uh watching an old interview with the woman that did uh Who Wants to be a Bill a millionaire. Like there was Regis who did it, then the woman who took over after him. She was interviewing Tim Curry uh and was talking about how like he's very seductive about like with like his being a villain and stuff that it's like, man, if you were the devil and you were talking to me, it's like I I'd go with you. And I was listening to him talk and I was like, damn, he really does have a sexy voice.
I I pretty much take what PubMed gives me and I'm like, well, that's the algorithm.
Um, and the and the more of those citizens you have on top of each other, um, the more powerful their action gets.
So, it has that follow mechanism. Okay. So, which I always like kind of because it keeps everybody engaged, right?
This game's kind of an anomaly nowadays just because of the amount of content you get for the price you pay.
This is a nonverbal cooperative uh game kind of like the crew but it's not tricktaking where you as a group are trying to diffuse wires um based off of the mission.
This game is very very challenging. It is. Uh but it's so quick to play that once you lose, you're like, 'Okay, reset.'
It's It's kind of an anomaly, but it's a really really good one. One to definitely break out during a game day.

Girl I never got around to play. When I tried to getting into solo, I don't remember when it was like a couple years ago. I try thinking I'm gonna make a solo series because that's going to be a good idea and I didn't enjoy myself too much because it felt like work.
It's one of those where it's a very clever game. It's very good. It's just a little bit dry and a little bit long for what it was.
I feel like I played it enough because we got to play this a couple of times, a few times uh when we got it.
Legacies was for me too much work for the fun I had. It is a little convoluted. It's it's a it's a cool game, but it's not my kind of game.
In a crowded market of so many tile drafting, tile placement games, we have like we have harmonies, we have spectacular, what else do we have? Cascadia, we have still have Baron Park, we have King Domino, like we have ASU, we have so many games in this category.
But I think I would have chosen to play for example Spectacular over it.

Quotes (from this video)

I think from my perspective based on what I've seen of the games that they inducted the original 25 uh I just wanted to speculate on what the next 25 would be
there's some interesting gaps in the 25 list that's out there now
Shadows over Camelot out really started that whole thing
it influences things that you wouldn't necessarily think that it did influence that kind of thing
it really took the world over for several years
it's like too big I mean the shadows of Brimstone which isn't on this list and I would never suggest to be in the Hall of Fame is like its own thing
it is such um a force or a presence in the board gaming world that it just has to be in there
it's almost like the quintessential board game in in a way
it is really the predecessor of all of these board games that have been a big part of the board game geek hobby
maybe eventually this is my opinion here I think they should stick to the games for a few years and then you know later on they can start thinking about like putting ryer kitsi in or stefen Feld or Christian Peterson or Corey kesa Cole Worley Richard Borg
