Quotes (from this video)
- And the final one is three chapters.
- very reminiscent to a kind of recent hit called Fantasy Realms.
- In this one, you are playing kind of a trick taking game.
- And then you're building a tableau with all the cards you've collected throughout the game to score points.
- Just over a tenner, so just about10 to buy this one.
- I think it's a great value with tons of, you know, where you get like 50 unique cards with great artwork, different combos throwing themselves at you throughout the entire game.
- And the final game I'm going to talk about is a straightup Euro game, a kind of maybe a lighter Euro game with Loot.
- Loot is a kind of a hybrid of a puzzly almost like set collection style game.
- As you're deploying your little adventurers on or your Vikings onto this map, collecting tokens, those tokens are going to be populating your own playerboard.
- And it's all about this kind of spatial puzzle on how you line things up and position things next to each other to try and optimize your layout and squeeze every point out this game as you can.
- the uh components you get here way outweighs the cost of the game.
- You know, you can get this one for, I think, less than £20 for a full puzzle euro game experience.
- brilliantly done, and it's so charming and easy to play, too.
- So, I definitely recommend casting your eye over that one.
- So, that's all the games I wanted to talk about, and I will say, you know, I will personally advocate all of these.
- They are all in my own personal collection and I'm sure there are way more games out there which I think is a a nice sign of the strength and the position of the hobby at the moment because again despite there being um you know huge price hikes in some aspects of the hobby, there are still tons of great games out there that you can buy at a very affordable price.
