Quotes (from this video)

it's doing really well on Kickstarter
the IP has drawn a lot of people in
Co-op draws me in a little bit
I'm pretty middle of the road on the theme
I don't know if it's doing enough different and have a theme enough that it's ever going to hit the table
we're passing on that
two-player only kind of gives some of those old vibes
it's a firsttime Creator
I prefer to wait on you know those First Time Creations until we know what they've been able to produce in the past
if it's a good game it'll probably have a second campaign or it will show up at retail
it's so beautiful on the table
I definitely want to play the John M Trail first to make sure that it's a game for us
solo game where you are essentially going out fishing

Oh god. It was just Yeah. You know, it's just he was talking about like, oh, we we all of a sudden realized that oh, the manufacturing cost for everything was five times greater at the very least as what like Chinese manufacturers would do.
The tonedeafness of this post is mind-boggling, blaming everyone and everything else but the people running the business.
Why would you buy a warehouse and machinery without comparing it to the cost to manufacture in China?
I'm not even close to being an entrepreneur, but that would be my first step before I sunk my money into something like this.
what's your game with Madera? I mean just flat out lying like through multiple things like making fabricated pictures of production lines and things like that of games being made. Seriously?
And then they then they finally realized that they they didn't have like anything
Um we finally rechieved the the level of quality we're looking for and coordinating with our various suppliers we've approved the production samples and the games are being made and assembly will be completed in the middle of June 2022 and then like a year and a half later says So, here are the We're still working on getting the rulebook files together and it's just like what, you know, just

But he says, 'Before confidence in your company and future campaigns can be secured, can you address these genuine concerns? Number One, the Saddler brothers said you use you use the name Max Lei, an anagram of Alex Lim, while claiming to be an intern at Blacklist Games. If not you, who is that? And what was his role in the company? If so, why did you hide your involvement?'
Number two, EasyHip called you out for lying to Dan Spisano when you said they were unable to ship his contract, claiming he hadn't provided his full address. Easy Ship said it was because you had failed to pay their warehouse fees. Is this true? You also claimed in an update that 75% of the Contra games had shipped. They hadn't, as confirmed by later updates. Yet, to date, only one person I know has said they received theirs. Why did you claim they even shipped when you had outstanding warehouse fees?'
'Four, why did you walk away from your previous company, Artistic Justice Games, and the unfulfilled fairy tale games miniatures campaign without a word? Here's a link to that campaign. The comment section is very telling. Since you're here to make things right, does that include the fairy tale campaign.'
'Six. Is it true that Kickstarter forcibly cancelled your myth and goal Kickstarter due to the you having too many unfulfilled projects open? If so, is your suggested name change for blacklist attempt to get around that restriction?'
And then in your January update, you claimed you would be making monthly updates from there on out. It is now April and you have we've had no further updates. Are you willing to concede that this we're just never getting these games?'
And then they did the basically the Fantasy Miniatures 2, which raised 1.4 million, and then they they put together, but they never delivered on the first one before when they launched that second.
I don't think it's one in 10. It's probably Yeah, it's probably less than that. But it's like what I could pick. Just like the ones that basically just don't deliver anything. Like just take the money.

I can chop and change between which ones I like and don't like at any particular time. and it just felt better to just go and carpet bomb about 25 solo games that I do really enjoy.
It's got a cool little dice system, but it's the it's the fact that the game feels like it's evolving as you play each one
But if you want just a nice light storybook game that you can pull out every now and again that feels a little bit different each time you play it, then Lands of Gowzer is a solid one.
But I think in terms of gameplay and challenge and theme, the solo mode for comban EV is, I think, the best of the Lord ones.
Basically, I just assume that all the like, you know, ranking stuff at the end of every Lord solo is blank, doesn't exist, and I just play the game, have fun, try a new strategy.
And honestly, if you can get it, it's definitely worth it because I would rather play this solo than four or five player any day.
It's like, oh, for crying out loud, I like solo modes and games, but not every single game needs one, people.
regardless of whether you prefer to play by yourself or play with other people, it's still only a game.

Welcome to Shelf Life, the monthly series where I look at games I covered about six or seven months ago and let you know whether they're still in my collection.
This is a solo cooperative adventure game, very much influenced by Arkham Horror, uh, but it's got a cyberpunk theme.
I think if you went to Great Western Trail, you should trail elsewhere.
And yeah, this is the best Assassin's Creed has been.
And hey, this is my only keep for the month.
This is sort of like a worker placement game. It's kind of crisis management like Pandemic, but then you also like go on dates and have uh friendships with some of the characters.
Street Masters can be amazing. It can also be pretty rough.
I think it's probably the best attempt I've seen at it.
So, this was a lighter month than pretty much any of the ones this year.
Almost 60% of you called it correctly that I kept one hit heroes out of all the rest.

I love Spirit Island. One of my top games of all time. Amazing design, but it's a game that will often have a boring ending...
if you make your game fun enough, like it's just a blast to play, you can forgive a lot.
Pandemic has a lot of problems with this. Alpha player will creep in.
I do think some games like you can design against alpha player without like totally hiding everything.
The biggest one is like the more your game is a puzzle and there are sudden must-win like moves that need to be made.
The only way the only reason it was uh beneficial was because of the asymmetry. If we both could do the same thing, it would just be kind of annoying to sit there and have a discussion on strategy past, you know, a couple minutes.

Quotes (from this video)

Hopefully, I'm saying that correctly. But basically, this is my fighter, 20 health, requires six power to charge up, and its main attack action is a punch.
So, the point of this game is to defeat Dimmitri.
So, I think I will probably put Gathering Storm back in. Draw them from the sky as well. And then uh we'll draw two more. Draw them from the sky and shock wave.
Now thirsty Kevlar is a gear says if Dimmitri has less than five, he gains three random. He does have less than five defense tokens, so he'll gain three, which is pretty crazy.
But the loots that I totally forgot about that I gain when I defeat the minions were definitely very helpful.
Um, but yeah, really, really, really enjoying Street Masters.
Thank you, Todd, for sending me a copy.

Pros

Dice-based combat with clear, tangible feedback (hits, damage, and tokens) creates crunchy, tactical moments.
Token and tactic systems introduce potential depth and modularity in play, with various combinations to explore.
Loot and stage/objective cards add variability and sense of progression during a session.

Cons

Solo playthrough feels limiting; the author suggests two-handed (co-op) play may better showcase the depth.
The session escalates quickly with multiple high-threat enemies, risking a quick loss near the exit.
Some complexity and strategic depth feel underexplored in a single run; may require multiple sessions to fully appreciate.

I do like her.
I feel like I didn't really get to experience the full strategy with her deck, especially with the tokens and the different tactics you could have out with tokens on it.
This might be my last one for a bit because I feel like it's a bit repetitive when I'm using the same two stages that I only have right now.
Not really my style.
This game would do a lot better solo; two-handed is not my style.
I might just change up the fighters or do the story mode to make it more interesting.
