Still want to try Mori and Sail. Thanks for your impressions.
The example at the end of the video covered all the gameplay and edge cases so smoothly! Thank you!
@@dadtier564 glad it was helpful. Hope you enjoy the game. One of my favorites.
"Flavor Text"
Title idea: All Bite and No Play Makes Jack a Wings Boy
isnt this just similar to sheriff of Nottingham ?
@@123LuffyDMonkey it is quite similar. This is a little shorter and simpler (and I know I’m biased but I think a bit better too).
Kinizia games are crap
Thank you for a concise and useful video.
@@Kristinonlinetoo glad it was helpful!
I really enjoyed your insight! Great podcast! As a designer that has pitched to Joe, he is a wealth of industry knowledge and it’s nice to see the inside scoop on how the decisions for the games journey come about. I look forward to learning more about Nicks process as well. Perhaps I will see both you guys at PAXU in a few weeks!
Great meeting you both at the CMON expo in Bangkok. This podcast is a cool initiative and we’re looking forward to future episodes. Subscribe 🎉
@@rasulmajid3454 great to meet you too. And thanks, we’re excited for things moving forward.
For best name: (see full list) Beyond the Box The Box and Beyond Pub-Talk DevOpsPublish Boardgame DevOps Corner 2 corner
“Tabletop Process”
Another name idea, how about “Open up the box,” to play on opening up about industry detail and also looking at details and components in the end product! It’s also got a dentist angle with the open up part ;)
I like the idea of "Board Game Blueprints" (or BGB for short) 'Blueprints' indicates behind the scenes 'Board Game' points to the target market (and makes for easier searching of new podcasts etc)
and the above is most certainly Reiner Knizia approved!
How about ‘On the table’ or ‘To the table?’ The first is a play on cards on the table, since you’re honestly sharing, the second is a play on farm to table, discussing the whole process to actually getting a game ready for play.
The Pub Process: an insiders perspective on board game publishing
For a name, how about “Thinking Inside the Box” (as opposed to the cliche of thinking outside the box)?
Could be more removed from Board Games specifically, like "TableTopics". Should the cast outlast the Vision to Product journey, then the name covers any other areas you may shift into. Or "The Game Components", covers what goes into the game, what it's made up of, and you also get to call yourselves The Game Components.
Love this chat. Great to have differing voices and different perspectives (especially as a fledgling designer mysefl). Can't wait for the next episode!
Nice work, looking forward to some more of these. I've got two ideas for the name of this podcast. Beyond the Box - Suggests taking a look inside the process, beyond just the game itself and Game Plan - Reflects the strategies, planning, and insights needed to bring a board game from idea to reality.
2 guys in the pub
For the Pod name, "The Bits and Pieces" has a nice ring to it. This is awesome!
Board Game Bigwigs
This is phenomenal. Thank you for sharing!
Nice work! Excited to see where this leads. Thank you for being so active in the design community and sharing your knowledge 👏
All box, no bite?
For the podcast name I like playing on a Comercial term and applying it to board games. You guys used the word 'vision' several times this episode... how about "Vision to Table" ... playing on Farm to Table. Which is really what you seem to be talking about. How you get your vision from your mind to my Table.
Pub Games, Board Games: Secret History
What about “inside the box”? Since you will be discussing the ins and outs of publishing, game designs, and other insights.
so this was all just a list to plug your kickstarter at top 3? got it.
Awesome teach incl. examples. Well done 👍🏼
Thanks Qrank. Sorry. Thanks THEQrank. Glad it was helpful
@ 😂 Qrank was already in use so I had to add THE 😋 I just discovered your channel and was listening to your Top 50. You nominated so many cool games other than just 50 Euros or the common Top 50 titles. It was really refreshing 👍🏼
@@TheQrank glad it was helpful. Those “best games” were from my work partner, Nick. I may eventually make mine too. But it is nice that he enjoys things other than heavy euros.
Not a fan of this format on youtube. And if its just a script anyway, personally Id rather just see the script so I could scroll through at my own pace.
@@Luk3d4wG well it’s your lucky day! Nick posts his podcasts as blog posts so you can read it if that’s your preferred method of consumption. 😊 bitewinggames.com/blog/
why you upload this on a video platform? lol just use spotify or podcast platforms
There’s a good article about it. Linked below. In short: most everyone has TH-cam so we can expand our reach, people can engage and interact where other platforms don’t any comments sections or ways to discuss. www.thewavepodcasting.com/articles/should-you-put-your-podcast-on-youtube
For people like me that don't use Spotify or other stuff. I listened to all these video with the ranking from 100 to 1. So I appreciate that they posted it here as well 😅
It is a bit weird to not have video.
Just audio?
Just audio. It's a podcast episode Nick uploaded to spotify, etc. but also uploaded to TH-cam cause some people listen on here. Nick usually just records audio and can read from his script while recording. I (Kyle) don't know if it would be worth him recording video cause it would just be him reading from a script, not some fancy production showing the games or anything. But what do you think? If people want to see him while he talks I can chat with him about getting something set up to record video while he reads and chats.
@@BitewingGamesI just had laser eye surgery so its perfect for me!
@ I think you should do the most you can with the medium. Shots of the components, games set up, the box covers, etc.
You need two copies of gang of dice, then you can play with more than 4. More excitement and chaos!
More excitement? More chaos? Sign me up.
Never heard of #2 - Ego? What game is that? I don't see that as a Kinizia game?
Found a page, looks like it's not even out yet? A 2025 game?
Bitewing via crowdfunding@@corbinhubbard5887
@@corbinhubbard5887 #2 on my official list was Ra. EGO is one of the games we've created here at Bitewing Games. It is currently on Kickstarter. Definitely check it out there if it sounds interesting. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bitewinggamesnick/secret-epic-big-box-reiner-knizia-game
Hi. What would be weight of Silos (according to the BGG rating)? Would you say this is a “family game”? , a Family game Plus, Medium heave , medium light? Thanks!
I would put it as medium light. I'd say it is a bit easier to learn than something like Wingspan. So the ruleset is relatively easy to grasp. But there's enough strategy and nuance that I wouldn't play it with kids under 15.
The examples at the end were a huge help to make the concepts all make sense. Thanks!
Cool. Happy for Mike and Dan.
Thank you!
Thank you for video and summary of rules! Also helps your style, that you display, what, when happen on desk. Please continue, good attachment to written rules.. Also examples, and consequencies what/why something to do.. this must not be obvious when reading rules..
How do you work out which cart moves first when all players have had their go?
@@karlallison1990 carts can move simultaneously, order doesn’t matter. I always move the furthest forward cart first, because if 2 carts end on the same space the one that was further ahead originally is considered to be ahead.
Thankyou very much got a game night with 8 players later on, so really looking forward to this one :)
@@karlallison1990 I haven’t played this one for a while, but I’d love to get a large group game night and do this one - I love it.
"Have you ever _made_ a mixtape?!" 😅
I remember playing Starcraft on the computer, and a song I loved coming on the Radio, and diving across the room to hit record on my old boombox.
I 100% agree with your analysis of Cscadia and really like the "sugar rush" anonolgy. I feel board games are currently suffering from the problem that's plagued video games for a while. Games are designed to impress reviews in the 1-5 hours the reviewer spends with it... instead of being designed for depth of play. Very thankful for board game publishers like Bitewing and IV studios. And for video game publishers Nintendo, still designing games for gamers for critics
This is Kyle, Nick doesn't get on the TH-cam channel too often since I do most of the videos, but I think there is a big issue like you talked about of games not holding up as well to repeated plays. But I also think it's an issue in the hobby of people consuming a game twice and then being done. But lots of that is cause there are hundreds of games each year worth trying, so how do you play games more than a few times while still trying all the new hotness? A real problem!
Is this published by Bitewing?
This one isn't. It is being published by Massive Asterisk. I was sent a review copy of the game to make a how to play video.
Thank you for the video! We didn’t even need the rule book after watching this!! Love this game!
I held out for one day then I backed the all three games. They all look to be good fun.
@@torelaursen4139 well you had one day of self restraint. Haha. I know I’m biased, but I like all 3 of them.
Very cool! Have you ever played Inis? I feel like it's extremely slept on. Easily my favorite game of all time -- simple to teach, but extremely complex strategy. There's never a gamestate where you can't find a way to win even if you've been getting beat on all game -- especially at the end.
Do you think it would be possible to play Tatari rules with Zombie Mania components? I haven't played either but am interested in the system and Tatari appears to be much better and much more difficult to find
Do you guys plan to do an unboxing video for SILOS?
@@angeloa9041 yes. I have to finish editing it but will post it sometime this week.
@@BitewingGamesSick, thanks for responding
Box art looks incredible.
please...just let him design games in peace. dont put him up to this. it's kinda demeaning and embarassing.
