Quotes (from this video)
- hey everybody and welcome to February's edition of board game Buys
- I only have eight games here to talk about but hopefully there's something here to grab your attention
- it's just more to give you an idea about what's coming up on the channel
- let's start with probably the the heavy hitter of the bunch which is setti the search for extraterrestrial intelligence
- it kind of got relentlessly positive reviews
- I generally like the games that cge put out there
- so I have can I have played this one a few times already
- so that is seti the search for extraterrestrial intelligence onto an older Euro now then this is um hadara
- always had my eye on hadara but never really managed to um to find a copy at a reasonable price
- so that is hadara another more recent game is a message from the Stars
- so I'll leave it at that I do need to play this one some more before I solidify solidify my thoughts
- so that is a message from the Stars a couple of fillers now uh tempura is one of those an awful game name
- hit uh also known as no mercy
- and this is hit extreme which I think adds in some more kind of special rules and special powers
- so yeah finally got this one played um and yeah I'll share my thought thought soon
- Druid is another one that was very kindly um sent to me
- so that is Druid another one that I'm sure you guys wouldn't have heard of is time of War
- this is a kind of a negotiation auction game
- this is definitely a homemade product know definitely um self-published which I think is always cool
- no spoiler I've got some positive things to say about um this game
- so that is uh time of War and the final game is a game I know nothing about actually
- so not to end it on on a high uh this is uh shitenno I don't know anything about this game at all other than it's got some very nice Vincent D trait artwork
- so that is shitenno let me know if you've played that one cuz I'd like to hear your thoughts
- that's it really that's all of the games that I have um picked up
- so some pretty pretty wacky games here old games kind of forgotten about games um self-published games kitsa Classics uh and sell on little card games and even some Euro such as setti uh and hadara
- so hopefully you've enjoyed the video
- see you next time on chairman of the board bye-bye
