This is a sponsored preview and this is a prototype copy in front of me so all rules, components, things like that are subject to change.
Because, in Operation, this is going to be a tower defense game at heart where you are trying to defend your village from these different aberrations.
And you're going to be doing this with a bag building to build your bag with certain actions that will also power up those actions and then you're going to use what you draw for your actions each turn.
So, when any of the map tiles are completely filled, then players would lose the game.
So, you can see where those are very different, depending on what you are playing as.
So, this is going to be a game where players are working cooperatively together, where every single chip is going to matter with the different actions that you choose to do, and even how you set up each other for certain actions.

Hey, I'm Alex Radcliffe from Board Game Co, and this is news and week in review.
So, I definitely be It's definitely worth being aware of that at the very least as you choose how to spend your money on board games and as you choose how to spend your money on Prime.
Effectively, Spirit Island is something that the rights to a lot of the things are held by Flat River Group, but the right to the game itself, he has.
I always thought Spirit Island deserved better, you know, better everything kind of just to some extent.
Because Awaken Realms is one of the fascinating companies. Like they have they are responsible. They get they they kind of moved into the Seeman problem where people love to hate to an extent, but people love to hate they How to put this?
My own two cents here um is that when a company is successful, they either can be comple- or individuals. Individuals, companies, whoever, they can either be like almost completely pure of heart and then they earn a lot of respect for being completely pure of heart.
But because they've been so successful, you fall into that range of almost some groups of people will love to hate them even as they continue to put out things that are massively popular and have huge audiences and they're clearly delivering things to people who want those things.
I think the complaints people do have are legitimate. I think they're often over-magnified because of the success of those companies, and I think those complaints often ignore the very large groups of people who are fans of those companies and enjoy what those companies put out and do not have the same issues you do.
I cannot get over the fact that I played Eureka over 50 times in like a 2 and 1/2 week period.
I hope you enjoyed this video and as always, I hope you have a good one.

Do I say the words Kingdom Death Monster?
Are these games still good? I guess is the question. Are they worth saving? Are they worth holding on to? Are they worth purchasing?
It could be that the quality of the games have just increased so dramatically that these really fall into the wayside.
Monopoly has opened the door for players all around the world to be very comfortable house ruling and playing from a teach and never actually reading the rule book which in some ways is a benefit to our space.
I don't think they're good games, but I did grow up loving and enjoying gaming because of them.
