@@AnthonyClay thanks so much!

@@markusbiewer2756 ha nice! I’ve yet to play twin suns but my brother loves this format!

@@BanterandBoards Do yourself a favor and try it! It rocks.

@@stevenkhemraj 🤣😅😅

@@therecogniser2122 thanks so much! We may have the same taste in complexity! I love me some heavy games but I do lean more to games I’m able to put on the table often! These games do a job on that at least for who I play with (different groups)

@@nickfarley2268 snap 😬

@@hagbardceline1004 I need to get back to playing hive! I played it a long time ago! What are ur thoughts on LotR Duel? I’m excited for the new TMNT Unmatched set!

@ it’s quick and simple. I think they really streamlined 7w duel and made it a little less clunky

@ nice!

haha definitely a place worth checking out!

@@EE-ou4pc snap. It means that you gotta go check it out

As someone who was very intimidated by MTG this is a great starting point for me. I really enjoy the gameplay and the community has been super rad!

@ nice! What deck are you running?

@@hendranuryanto3147 thank you!

sorry! didn't think about the color blind, I mean...they understand color to a certain degree 😅

@@BanterandBoards i was making a joke about playing with someone like my now blind grandmother, but i wasnt trying to call you out or anything LMAO

We played with 2 dads who are colorblind. It was awesome 😂

@ bruh 🤣

@@alleyagemch4585 thank you so much for the kind words!

@@pwing2611 lol maybe…..😜🤣

@@saeedowski3074 nice!!!! You have great taste! 😜

@@JacobRamirez-li9dt haha no I’ve just been traveling a lot this fall and am taking advantage of it and visiting different LGS, it’s been a lot of fun! Will be flying to San Jose/San Francisco this coming week to stay tuned!

@@izzyserrano3876 Nice! Literally just finished playing a game of it on the digital app version. It’s a really solid game!

Obi WAN is pretty cool! My favorite character is Qui Gon!

@@ricardodeur2377 Ooooo Kylo is an interesting leader! He has a mono red Kylo deck!

@@Theframeinator yeah, it’s sad 😢 I loved the books from Timothy Zahn and the Thrawn trilogy!

Nice! She’s in set 2! Those mandalorians are really cool!

@@aldenetra8817 snap! lol he does have a cool robe tho

@@Lizardwithdahat haha! Ok I will admit, the first Han did throw me off but it’s grown on me. I do like they give the artists a lot of creative freedom so it gives us a lot of different flavor instead of it all being the same and generic

@@Mycatz that’s really cool to hear! What deck you running?

@@BanterandBoards started with Tarkan space and Princess Leia blue Playing Han blue now Super excited for set 3 Got a few friends to start playing too

@@Mycatz oh nice! my brother is currently running han blue as well! I ran han yellow, he's a tricky leader but I'm pumped for set 3 as well!

well to each their own i guess

@@ProfTomahawk Nice! That’s awesome, congrats! We had the PQ a couple weeks back and someone one who had young Han blue got 2nd, I’m hearing good stuff about him!

@@BanterandBoards yeah! Its pretty fun to play. The first PQ here in Germany was today too, but berlin is a little bit to far away ^^

@@ProfTomahawk oh Germany! Wow! How is the meta over there? There’s were LOTS of boba’s over here!

@@BanterandBoards not so much difference i think. Boba Yellow was the winner yesterday, palp green 2nd and bossk blue top 4, like me. I have seen 2 suprising decks, heroic boba red and luke yellow, but didnt play against them :D

@@ProfTomahawk wow! Heroic boba red? That’s different for sure my brother pulled out an old han blue at a store showdown yesterday and people were thrown off with it. That sometimes helps!

Time will tell! Boba is an issue but will be curious to what set 3 does

@@BanterandBoardsfix it now why wait? Tell me how many set 3 leaders that flip at 5 are 4/7

Lorcana had huge balance issues after two sets and that game is flying now. FFG may have made some missteps in the past but I’ve been really impressed with their transparency around the development of SWU. And yeah they may have messed up with Destiny but I’m sure they’ve learnt a lot from that. They’ve got a good track of supporting their LCG games at least. At the end of the day, if it’s makes them money then they’ll keep supporting it (and SWU has vastly outsold Destiny from what I’ve read)

@@juanbonilla1006 true!

@@R8C2 yeah, on their latest stream they’ve been saying they’re keeping a close in on which leader is winning more consistently (boba) so curious to see what happens

@@Aldana-Alone that’s awesome! I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying it! What deck are you running? Also nice!!!! I pulled a showcase Hunter from set 2. Which showcase did you get?

@@BanterandBoards I play a lot Palpatine yellow in the first set and also Luke green... Now i play Rey / Red ( even if i not a fan of the character) the deck have everything i like, so cool to play! I have a Chewbacca showcase!

@@Aldana-Alone nice! I’m running a Rey red too! I went mono yellow han for the PQ!

Which other TCGs are in your Top 3? Thank you!

@@markusbiewer2756 Flesh and Blood and Magic

@@70rickterscale boooo lol

@@JoaquinReinoso great question! So I love SW deck building game and originally stayed away from SWU because I had fears of getting in on a TCG and was content with my deck building game buttttt the artwork drew me in on SWU and the gameplay kept me in. I honestly think it’s fairly balanced, the “meta” is still taking shape. Granted, there will be cards in general that will help your deck be better as in any game, but I don’t think it’s by a large margin, you can stay fairly competitive and win if you just outplay your opponent. The game FEELS like a chess match as you only make 1 move per turn. Set 1 cards got a little pricey because FFG printed less supply than demand but they are reprinting set 1 this winter so cards will for that set will be pretty cheap again. Set 2 cards aren’t expensive at all because there was enough supply! I feel like the game is fairly healthy and balanced at the moment with the exception of the Boba leader, he’s pretty dang good and it’s a cheap leader card. Also they did their first competition “season 0” a couple of weeks ago to intentionally get new players familiar with that scene. It was fun! And there’s a lot of cheap deck options out there that are REALLY good! Check swudb.com and they have TONS of deck options! The Han card in this game is pretty dope too!

@@BanterandBoards hmm... I'm going to check it out a little bit more, maybe it's worth the try. Got a friend nearby who wants to get into it. That's for the page recommendation!

​@@JoaquinReinosoi just started playing, spent about 100$ to get in (a starter box and a 24×box), ehich gave me a fine base to build loads of usable deck, first game night i went to i went 2-3 with my homemade Bo-Katan deck. The communuty is great and the game fun, 10/10 recommend if ypu are a SW fan and game enjoyer.

Check in with your lgs to hear if they have players playing on a specific day. Most of us who has been in the game since the beginning has tons of cards to literally give away. You can make a pretty solid deck (Tarkin Yellow (Leader and Color of the base)) with just commons / uncommons and a few very cheap rares. I absolutely love this game, however, it is a licensed game, which generally tends to have a shorter lifespan than orginal tcg's. That said, they supposedly already have the next 7 expansions planned out. :)

@@reneskyggebjerg2092 great idea and yes! I can say I literally have so many cards to help others build their own decks!

Thanks for your input!

Greater Atlanta for all intensive purposes.

@@Toxic8arbarian it’s in the metropolitan area of Atlanta

@BanterandBoards Exactly. Very cool shop tho. I may check it out soon.

@@sailbot1 nice! The workers there were really nice there!

@@jonathanantscherl haha thanks! So I love original splendor and it’s great game to play with anyone. Splendor 2 is more cut through and more player agency which I personally enjoy! But OG splendor works at 2 players too. I’ve not played Hanamakoji, what’s that game about?

@@BanterandBoards thanks for the quick reply! It’s strategic beauty. Each round is only 4 moves if I remember correctly and it’s sort of a trick taking game I guess. So you start off dividing a small deck of different suits (each with a variety of numbers 1-5 if I remember correct but some suits have like 3 cards only and some have 5). The 4 moves each player has is something like - split and chose - you present 2 cards face up and 1 face down and the opponent picks either the 2 face up or 1 face down, another is to just place cards down etc. But each move results in one or both players laying cards down into the respect column of suit. And some actions are better to use near the end when you can see what the other player may be tempted by or not need (but then you can screw your self as you have less in the hand to choose from). You win if your total from winning hands is 11 points or more or if you win a load more suits than your opponent (can’t remember exact number) It is pure strategic slightly infuriating brillaince. Not sure if I’ve done it justice but definitely go check it/get it!!

@@jonathanantscherl interesting! I appreciate the explanation! I’ll have to try it out! I saw it’s on board game arena!

@@riogakun there’s definitely a few! It’s also just contingent on what I’m able to get on the table a lot and get more sessions with. There’s definitely some that could change within the next couple of years but we’ll see! At the moment, these are my favorite! Thanks for watching!

@@vinz5091 thanks man! Very kind of you!
