Guards of Atlantis 2 : What makes it so great?
มุมมอง 3.1Kปีที่แล้ว
Guards of Atlantis 2 is in my opinion one of the best boardgames. A fantastic team vs team skirmish game with great tactical depth while keeping the downtime very low. It will be available again through the current Gamefound campaign.
I'm really liking the flavor of this game. Far too many big names forget that fun wordings and fluff can really enhance the play experience.
What a great summary of Sorcery!! I completely agree; it's the most fun TCG that I've ever played. As an avid fan of the game, thank you for bringing awareness to SCR.
Thank you for the kind comment 🙏
Great Video!
thank you 🙏🙏
where can i contact for business?
Can't find anyone within a 50 mi radius of me to play a game, though.
Thank you for giving the answer to the video at the beginning ❤ immediately liked shared and commented
hope you're doing rad, thanks for the nice video
Cooles Video!
Looking forward to it coming to the EU, the thematic gameplay looks incredible.
Have they said anything about when? I really want the starter decks
Love hearing about sorcery. I hope more and more people start playing and collecting it.
True, it is a unique experience
Rudy asking if they need some shitty promo cards an/or mat?
Where is the best place to buy this in Germany?
Sorry, since I live in Switzerland I'm not too familiar with the options in Germany. Here it seems that the Beta Set is already difficult to get. You find boxes on the secondary market but they are quite pricey
@@RingOfCards Same in Germany
The best thing about card games is that you can print them yourself.
You can definitely tell Sorcery only has the one set available. It feels (and looks) like very early MtG. It's not balanced, there's not a whole lot of counterplay, removal is extremely strong, card draw is super limited, card pool is still small. It's a game that's only had one set's worth of design development (counting Alpha/Beta as one). But it's a strong start, and I think Sorcery has the potential to be a great game in a few sets when the developers have been able to explore the available design space more. Right now, Sorcery is fairly fun, and breath of fresh air for worn out MtG players, but it's not a tight, competitive game that's going to compete with something like FaB or (potentially) Star Wars Unlimited. Yet.
Great points. And great work on the video. Sorcery spares no expense on flavor and it shows. Looking forward to hearing more of your thoughts on the game.
Thank you for the kind feedback. I wish you much success with your own game - I will have to take a closer look soon but I already like the grid and potential for clever moves :)
2:02 Played it today for the First Time. I loved the Artwork and Feel of the Game. It felt smooth and beautifull. 4:17 Good Old Pudge from Dota 1 and 2. 4:55 I dont know if the LEgend of the Five Rings TCG was the First to do this. To Fix Magic the Gatherings Manaproblems. 5:38 I love the Sites so much!
I'm glad you got to try the game, I'm also playing with the beta cards right now using the sealed mode opening 6 packs per player and then building a 25spell card deck from what you got. Very fun way to play👌
It feels like the bullshit Yugi pulls during duelist kingdom. Attack the moon lol. Nowadays, yugioh is just 1 million card combo and deny. There's even a card in Sorcery that turns a frog into a prince. The entire set has one prince and he's not even that good. It is like a return to those simpler and sillier days instead of "meta" and "value" chasing.
Moment mal, "Hallihallo"? :D Tolles Video und schön, dass es noch andere DACH Sorcery Enjoyer gibt :D schöne Grüße in die Schweiz :)
😁Hab mich sehr über den Kommentar gefreut. Hab' gleich mal bei deinem Channel reingeschaut - sehr cool gemachte Videos, man merkt, dass viel Arbeit drin steckt 👍
I really want this game. But freck me, im not going to spend 160 euro's for a boosterbox, not for MTG not for this.
I heard from somebody that they are having a lot of fun and different feeling games from playing the Precon decks a bunch of times. Maybe the prices for the booster boxes will go down in the next print after beta but I'm not quite sure..
Had such a fun moment in a learning game with my brother in law when my frog swallowed his amazon warriors. Gulp! And a couple turns later, his soldier token (buffed by king of the realm) sliced open the frog's belly to free the amazon warrior, who then took revenge and knocked me out of the game. It's these epic, emergent storytelling moments that got me hooked.
Thank you for sharing this- Sorcery really shines through this almost cinematic feeling. The frog is a great example among many; cards like Earthquake, Wildfire, Courtesan Thais and the Doomsday Device come to mind :)
Huh, I could almost get the accent correct to your country.. nice video, good highlights. I agree, you better play a few matches before you can talk about what is good and what is not so good. One thing to me still remains: Cards often only have a keyword and you need to know the effect of that ability. For new players that needs some explanation.
You are correct about the keywords. I feel that the way defending and intercepting works and especially the relations regarding above-/underground- and land/water units will also be some tough points to get right when starting out.
they keywords are almost self-explanatory. every single cardgame has keywords...easy to reference on a player aid
I had a lot of fun opening the boosters of this I bought, sending photos of some of the weirder cards to people I know 🙂
Understandable, Sorcery has some very unique designs :)
It's amazing. Can't wait for beta and Arthurian legends!!
Thank you for commenting, Is the Arthurian Theme confirmed?
This game is easier to teach than any other ccg. I like that the wording on the cards themselves have clear concise wording, but I would ask that the comprehensive rules published online should include technical wording for each card.
Agreed, once you know about the keywords and the interactions between land/water, above/underground the rules are very easy to remember
My big question i cant seem to find an answer to, is this game 1v1? Because thats what it seems like
Yes it is a 1v1 game👍
A very warm hallihallo back to you! Thank you for another very convincing video with many great perspectives on this TCG. The so-called freshness mentioned by user Weldras tempts me to give the game a try soon.
Happy to hear that😁 and thank you for taking the time to comment🙏
Now lets hope they print the crap out of Beta. The worse thing that could happen to this game is the collector-investor-scalper market takes it over and kills it before it gets legs. It is a very real threat.
Thats an important observation- I had the impression that the Beta run seems quite limited. Here in Switzerland a couple stores list it as sold out.
I hear it’s sold out everywhere I ask. Managed to get 2 boxes at least.
Very well said! This is why I love the game. It's so perfectly said, that I sent the link to my friends in hopes to convince them to pre-order beta. The only other thing I would add is that if people wait for Beta the game is very affordable. Ordinary and Exceptional cards are abundant, cheap and do most of the work. The rule of only having one of any unique in a deck and 2 of each elite should keep the chase cards at reasonable prices. Brilliantly designed.
thank you very much for these motivating words, also you make some great points: buying alpha now is way too expensive. I just had the precons, playmat and 1 display (very lucky pulls though) from the kickstarter. I have to say playing sealed was extremely fun and probably my favorite way of enjoying the game. kind regards from Switzerland
Really great review - thanks!!
thank you very much for the positive energy💛
Wow, sehr gueti Zämefassig, merci ❤
Liebschtä Dank und beschti Grüess💛
Blows my mind that theme/flavour has taken a back seat for so long in mainstream games/tcgs.There's tons of great thematic card games out there if you explore. Hands down my favouritre is FEROX (a cannibal-exploitation film themed card game from Craft Fair Games. NOT family friendly, which is a plus point for me. The only reason I got into nerd stuff as a kid was because of residual satanic-panic vibes coming through from the US in the mid and late 90's here in the UK)) I really want to try out Sorcery and have been aware of it for a couple of years before it was released, but I can't bring myself to enter the tcg realm again. I'm tempted by the pre-constructed decks, but then do I need a massive playmat too?
I also feel that many TCGs lack this thematic focus - for example the abilities on the cards often feel tacked on and not like they would truly belong to that character, Sorcery is a big improvement in that regard. About your question: You could make it work somehow without the playmat but for this game I would strongly recommend to get one, and they aren't as big as I thought.
Great video, love Sorcery 😊
Thank you very much - Yes I hope the game has a great future with more new cards to explore
Very interesting video! I’m delighted to see how you connect your passions. I’d love to see more content like this.
Great content man
Thank you for the kind words and taking the time to comment 🙏
Incredible video about the gameplay, thank you so much for broadcasting Sorcery on your TH-cam channel. Cheers 🍻
Happy to see you here, I love the artwork for the Bull Demons 💛
The points you address regarding this game are very accurate, and I share your opinion. It truly invites collecting and exploring! A highly innovative and fresh game concept among card games!
"fresh" describes the game really well:) and thank you for taking the time to comment 🙏
Very interesting I hadn't heard of this game, I would try it if it wasn't collectible. Going back to buying the loot boxes of the 90's in the form of booster packs is very unappealing to me. Have you played Netrunner? That remains my favourite card game in this vein.
I can understand this but opening the packs for this game and not knowing which cards I would get was really exciting to me. From a competitive perspective it may feel problematic trying to get all the best cards but I mostly just play to have fun and for this approach even the starter-decks do a good job. If you want to try a great non collectible card based skirmish game I strongly recommend Summoner Wars 2nd Edition. As for Netrunner: no I have never played it but I know that it is very beloved among it's players. When you say "in this vein" do you think it has similarities to a skirmish game or do you mean it's similar to a collectible card battler?
@@RingOfCards I'm not sure what qualifies as a skirmish game, but if Magic does then Netrunner should as well. There's different factions, there is deck construction and you have a one on one battle of sorts. I don't think it has a ton of similarities with this game judging by your review other than broadly being in the same genre. But it's a great game none the less. Unfortunately it's out of print although there is a community initiative keeping it alive and designing new sets. I heard about Summoner Wars but haven't played it. Thanks for the recommendation I'll check it out.
Netrunner is the GOAT
Netrunner was great
You don't even have to get into the "collectible" aspect of Sorcery. A set of 4 Beta precons, which includes a booster pack and tokens is $40. That's cheaper than most board games and you would likely get more play out of it than your average board game.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences on the topic. Appreciated your insights.
Very nice overview for an amazing game! Thanks a lot, looking forward to more of your content! :)
Thank you Filip🙏
Great thoughts! I've already observed on myself, that I buy most boardgames when I dont have time to play.
Thank you for your insight
It is truly delightful to hear your thoughts on this intriguing topic of mental health. You captivated me with some of your phrases, and I also discovered some of my own unhealthy habits with buying new stuff - So, you caught me there :)
Awesome explanation! Would be great if you can do spot lights on a few characters and show us how they can be played! Thank you~!
Thank you for your kind words, I did a video with the thumbnail title "unique enough?" where I have a closer look at some of the characters. Maybe I will do a video with a more in-depth focus on gameplay and tactics for certain characters - thank you for the suggestion :)
Hi, you got some good presentation there. I am curious to hear what you have to say on other games too. :) I really enjoy GoA II myself.
Thank you very much, I will surely talk about other games in the future, maybe do a Top5 list at some point:)
Totally agree about the tight movement system in Godtear. That element of strategic placement can feel almost chess-like.
Yes, such a clever design- protecting and destroying banners brings a "puzzle" to the game that I really enjoy. One of the very best skirmish games in my opinion.
Fantastic content! This will help with the long wait till the game arrives next year. Hope to see more deep dives into the game from you :)
Greatly appreciate your encouraging words! New content will follow surely :)
Great content and super well presented. Makes me wanna play the games again right after hearing your engaging thoughts. Love your gestures, so vivid! Keep it rolling!
Thank you for the positive energy and the motivation boost🙏
Just casually starts a youtube channel and makes a dope video?? Well done! Did you have experience already with this area?
Thank you very much for your encouraging words🙏 I don't have much experience with creating videos, but hopefully my work as a teacher helps a bit with presenting and talking :)
From the acent I thought you might be Swiss and then I found it in the chanel description. Great video by the way! Lot of work went into this Us weler Region bisch? Würds gärn mau vorem oktober 24 usprobiere u spile nid so gärn digitau. I bi in Luzärn, Bärn Biu ungerwägs.
😁 Sehr nice! Ich läbe in Züri, das chömmer gern ihrichte. Schriib mer doch uf RingOfCards@gmx.ch
I got judgement Eternal champions isnt this similar to that game?
I have been looking into Eternal Champions. While Guards II and Eternal Champions both are skirmish games, I see some big differences: Guards II has a focus on team-play while EC seems to be designed for 1vs1. Guards uses a no-dice system. In Guards you play a card from your hand to perform each action. Also in Guards any attack at the right moment can be deadly while in EC the characters usually have well over 10 health points that first need to be reduced to zero. Hope that this helps to get a feel for the differences between the two.
This was great, love the deeper look at the characters along with the clear visuals of the components. Would love to see more
🙏 Thank you - Will make sure to have a new video soon :)
