In defense of the competitive mode of Summit: The Board Game
We really like the OG Love Letter and so we tried another version. We chose Infinity Gauntlet which I noticed that you ranked at #1. I've played it several times and with different people but each time I've played it, it definitely doesn't appeal to gamers or my family as much as the OG Love Letter
Wow, Lost Legacy is not LL. It was designed as a successor (e.g., added the investigation phase) with 9 different games (Starship, Flying Garden, Vorpal Sword, etc.) I’ve never played the Marvel 1 vs many game, but that doesn’t seem like LL either. Maybe you should define what you think is a LL game is first.
My favorites are the Avengers one ( not even a Marvel fan) and Lovecraft letter. Oh and "Power hungry Pets" which is a new one is cute, only minor rule changes though
Great video! I got extremely lucky and got a pretty cheap new copy of Lovecraft Letter and it's my favorite!! I love going Insane and getting access to new abilities, but you have to be careful not to die from insanity. I highly recommend it.
I still have yet to get my hands on it. I'm so eager to try it.
How would you rate xeno?
I have never played it! Have you? How does it compare?
@@thenerdgirl1 guard is 2 cards and can target other guard : less random shots. Baron is a 6 : double baron hand is medium strength. Princess may revive. some plays here : th-cam.com/video/fnO_4f-kU7U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QsqPVchrv0trhEIj
@@willyboun957 interesting!
Hey, the deck looks great, but unfortunately there are no images in the cards as i can see... Can you also confirm if this can be fixed. Thanks a lot:))
I can take a look but I may not have the images anymore to reupload. I wonder what happened.
Thanks for the video! I’m hoping they reprint the “Letters to Santa” version so I can play it with my kiddos at Christmas 😊
My family started with the Princess Princess one and we love it!!
I enjoyed your perspective on all the characters. This is slowly becoming one of my favorite games in my collection as I learn and get more expansions / characters. Originally I was starting away from the Marvel expansions due to having Marvel Ledgendary and a few other games, and just getting burnt out on the Marvel world in everything, but after your review of the characters, definitely going to reconsider.
Even characters you wouldn't think you'd like end up being cool in practice. Go ahead and try more. We own all of the content for this game and I like all of the sets.
great content
Thank you for this video! It's good info you gave and I love how you presented it. Very good job!
Straight to the point. Focussing on the game with no ego. Thank you.
Thanks, nice video, and you have a fun style.
Thanks! We try! :)
Have you played Lovecraft Letter since making this video? If so, how does the experience rank?
I still cannot find it! It's no longer in print so my local shops can't order it.
Batman is still the best. It may not have the fresh twists the newer ones have, but it's implementation of the classic game is perfect. Getting points for correct guesses and being immune as Robin open up very interesting strategic choices. We loved the art a lot. Looks like we have the opposite appraisal in every way about the game!
Good video, new sub.
Hello, thanks for the review. I have a question, were the back colors lighter in the expansion cards?
I never noticed a difference.
Super helpful overview, thank you!
Noooo why did you paint Luke Cage like that 😱😱😱
Thanks for the video! Short, sweet, and to the point.
Nice intro but saying G-D was unnecessary
Cool shirt
Played it once at a con great game
It's so immersive and thematic. It's pretty dang cool.
@@thenerdgirl1 yes it is
This one fell flat for anyone I play it with, all of them were non-gamers, and... yet 😕
I have to admit I got bored with this one and it's no longer in my collection. It lacks what I've come up describe as board game magic.
Hi. I just found out about your channel through this video, already saw many videos and I like to say that I'm impressed. I really like your taste and your perspective and I already wish to watch many many more reviews :) Do you have an updated collection in bgg which allow to check your current ratings for games? - Anyway, obviously - I subscribe! Regarding The Faceless, 1. I really don't like when the art is repeating itself on cards. 2. Don't this game as a huge potential for alpha gamer, or someone who "knows better than everyone"? 3. I've been offered to trafe this game (KS all in) and I'm really on the fence... Doesn't it bother you?
I don't have an alpha gamer problem in my group (does that make me the alpha gamer (probably???)). This game requires conversation. We have to discuss the best way to meet our objectives. I've seen people actively hate this game. I don't understand it. It's a very different kind of game. An interesting coop experience.
I like unique experiences and this game intrigues me. Nevertheless, when a game is annoying people or gets negative critics, it makes me feel insecure to offer it. Can you try pointing out types of people or characteristics who might not like this game?
Just checked out your deck and it looks so fun! Very interesting
Great breakdown! I've only played this game once as Alice, and I was able to squeak out the win by making myself the lesser threat against my two opponents (Arthur and Medusa), picking and choosing my battles, swinging in Big to deal damage, and shrinking Small again to hide away. I liked playing as her because of that choice you get to make each turn; do I stay this size based on what's in my hand now, or do I switch based on what I might draw into? That's also why I love this system, too. It's designed to give players as many choices as possible to let them find which characters feel best to them. I just got two of the Marvel sets for myself (Daredevil's easily my favorite Marvel hero aside from Spidey), and I bought my brother and his girlfriend the Dr. Sattler/T-Rex set since Jurassic Park is her favorite movie of all time. I know they'll likely never play it (they never play the games I get for them) but I imagine if I sat down with them and taught them myself they'd probably get a good kick out of the concept and want to find their own favorites.
I really favor Alice myself. I was watching an unboxing of Teen Spirit and the new characters look hella cool.
Great video!
How did you upload the images? And what size are the cards? Wanna do this myself but the links I paste don't show up on the maker.
This was super awesome, I’ll have to get my hands on the Marvel sets soon. My top 3 as of right now would probably have to be; 3. Ellie Satler 2. Achilles 1. Raptors And I do win regularly with the Raptors, there one of my faves bc of the unique challenge they bring.
Those are all great characters. I really like Dr. Sattler. She's a really strong character.
Odd that your seeing that with Electra.... she is very strong in my group... super annoying actually
Oh really? We've not had that experience here. But we're about to play a bunch of it again when the Houdini and Genie set comes in so we'll give her more plays. But even in our tournament she didn't do well.
@Play Me I have the genie... my group hates when I play him. He speaks to me very well. The raptors feels weak and ingen feels too strong against them
@@Liquidbleugraphics the genius just got into Canada. My copy is actually stuck in all of this Christmas mail backlog. I'm anticipating getting my hands on it any day.
@Play Me you'll love this set. So far my absolute favorite
@@Liquidbleugraphics I'm very much looking forward to it.
Thanks for this list. I only have Cobble and Fog. I don't like Sherlock that much as most of the times I get powerful Dr. Watson cards after he dies and then it clogs my deck.
I feel that way about Dracula's sisters. I can never get then to work properly.
@@thenerdgirl1Just use them for boosting movement. Dracula is scary, learn to utilize him, and you will see his true power.
Hi.....I'm subscriber #190
Thanks so much! We'll see you around the channel!
@@thenerdgirl1 🙂
Nice review! Subscribed! Now I need to try to find a copy of this game, not an easy task I suppose... 😌
I am not sure how hard that is in your area. I enjoy this one a lot. It's not for everyone. Two people I've shown it to don't care for it. So... Not bad. But it's a frenzy of fun and points and I think it's great!
Oooh thanks for covering the expansions. If you had to pick one which would it be?
I think I'd pick the Yeti one.
Hunting vampires is easy. I want to see a t-rex hunt
I could record and upload a game or two of Buffy vs the T-Rex if you'd like.
it would be something perfect
That would be amazing if Buffy can defeat the T-Rex!!!
It would be. I'm still placing my bets on the Rex though!
Lol - I know who I'm betting on in the Buffy vs T-Rex...
Buffy? Just kidding. Lol.
@@thenerdgirl1 I'm cheering for an Alice vs. T-Rex finale!
@@Mortimare77 I have no idea what's going to happen. Medusa and Sherlock are really strong too.
Good list! I am Brasilian. Great Chanel
Thanks for watching!
Medusa is 20? Lol 😆 keep smoking that good stuff yenenga 15? Lol sherlock holmes is number 2 easy lol terrible list no subscription here lol
Well I'm so glad you stopped by just to be mean. Thanks for watching.
Hi. Just started the game with the Marvel Boxes and did a little tournament on my own. Daredevil won. Greetings from Germany.
I thought Bullseye could take the whole tournament and he was taken out by Buffy the Vampire Slayer! 🤯 Buffy also beat Daredevil in Tier one. I still can't believe it though.
You pronounce Carnegie correctly. From Western PA?
Canada!
I thoroughly enjoyed both of these games! But if I had to choose one to play, it’d probably be underwater cities based on its aesthetics, it’s overall prettier and more attractive to the eye. Carnegie isn’t bad either, a bit heavier I think, and I wouldn’t mind seeing it hit the table a few times here and there!
I like Carnegie better out of the two. I don't see Underwater Cities becoming a favorite of mine, but it's been fun to play so far.
This is great! I know the current 'Big Three' on the tournament scene are 'Sherlock - Medusa - Yennenga' (with Sun-Wukong, Little Red, Big Foot and Achilles being solid favorites for top players) so its cool seeing how your rankings differ and how even fighters the top players consider 'bad' can still be both fun and successful in other settings! *Prior to the Rex v Sattler and Marvel sets, I don't think their have been any super big tournaments with them yet*
Little Red and Big Foot are both out of our tournament but I think the others will be strong ones in ours as well. Our Rexie will go up against Bullseye and I think Bullseye might take it.
@@thenerdgirl1 Oh looking forward to hearing the outcome then! 💜
@@Duhad8 hopefully later this week the second tier results will drop.
Hey! I was searching for new Unmatched content and this video came up! I love this and can’t wait to hear about round 2!
Me too! I can't wait to see who shakes out on top. I have some theories but I was surprised with some of the first tier matches so we'll see!
What a great review! Everything I need to know in 8 minutes :D
Thanks!
Bummer! Bloody Mary is so fun to play. I also like Dracula though!
She'll get another chance!
Haha best thing in this game is when the rocket launch's without someone
Lol! It's a co-op!
I prefer hero realms still fun tho
I love the space theme the best. 🚀
This game is so fun and a real thinker
I'm hoping to give it some more plays this week. We played it a bit when we got it and then got distracted by something else shiny.
