Why do I need this game now!!!!???? 😂
You might even need all 3 Delve games! 🤣
I wish my game group liked cards games. 😢
I hear you! It can be hard to get some of these small box card games played when everyone is itching to play the bigger, more robust games.
Dang I need this now. Btw new sub. Also you should try and make some playthru videos. You explain well enough.
Thanks! I don't think I have anyone I play with who would be inclined to be part of playthrough videos with me haha
@@settleroftheboards omg do it yourself! lol You can just be that other person!
Haha I guess that's something to consider!
@@settleroftheboards do it!
Are you on BGA??
Does this version has all 4 factions? I never saw the red faction
No, it only has 3 - blue, yellow, and green. My full review highlights a quick list of the main differences like that, as well as smaller hand size.
Theymade my favoirte saying into a game? that's cool cool cool.
i really like this game. i just played my first 2 solo games tonight. i just stumbled upon your channel. Liked and Subscribed! I just did an unboxing video of "Rock Hard 1977". cant wait to see what that game is all about, love the theme.
Nice! I can't wait to play, just have a lot of games on my play list right now haha. Thanks for the like and sub! I played Rock Hard recently, it's neat! I like having the 3 separate phases for worker placement, I think it works well.
@@settleroftheboards i wish Rock Hard had a solo mode, the majority of my gaming is solo.
I play things mostly at 2, but I like a good solo mode too. Sometimes boardgame geek forums have like fan made solo modes which can be helpful!
Hey me again! 😊 I just saw before you play video and they said this game killed it at gencon. Another great video. 🙏
I have no idea what this game is but after seeing this video I think of need it! Thanks I guess. 😮
Happy to help, haha! I know it has some worker movement, resource management, and contracts. I haven't played it yet but I agree, it looks great!
@@settleroftheboards Have you played this yet?
No, not yet. I'm hoping to soon!
Sold me! ❤
Very nice!
Thank you!
Great review and overview! I loved hearing your gripes and likes about the game. Def looks like one for me :)
Thanks for checking it out! I hope you get to enjoy the game :)
The acrylic standees are only printed on one side? It doesn't look particularly good...how are you supposed to recognize the characters when all you see is a "white wall".
Yeah, it was not my favorite design choice at all. We ended up having our own characters face us so we knew which ones to move around, but it was just odd.

These are great
Thank you!
Just discovered your channel. I've not heard of this one. Apologies if I missed your mentioning it, but does it have a solo mode?
My copy does not mention a solo mode, but I have the retail version. The deluxe may have more options, but I am not sure.
@@settleroftheboards Oh, that's a shame. Looks like a good game. Thank you for the review.
Sure looks interesting.
Thank you for your thoughts on Neotopia! I am glad you liked it 😊 - André Santos
I'm so happy to see someone talk about this game. I am looking forward to your review. I got some playtime with the game and got to say it's easy to pick up (gameplay-wise). The components are fantastic. The only downsize are the Standee themselves, not by design, but functionality. Some of them are very wide where they take up two additional spaces, which makes it difficult to move them without knocking over other pieces of the game.
I've been playing a whole lot, and I have the same complaint. I LOVE the acrylics, but some some are just way too big for the board. My other biggest issue is just the character elimination. I have played other tactical games where your characters revive so that you don't lose the flexibility of cards in hand, which I personally prefer. But I like the objectives in this, and the range of characters - I definitely just need to try a few more and find a really solid team!
Where did you buy your copy??
I was lucky enough to be provided a copy from the publisher. You can order directly from their website! -- www.japanimegames.com/japanime-tactics-granblue-fantasy-special-bundle
First! I enjoy your videos. Straight forward and quick.
Thank you! 😁
Impressive! How long did it take to paint everything?
Thank you! A looongg time lol roughly 2 hours each for the small ones. The sentinels were probably 4 each. 😬
This is a great review! Nice job.
Looking foward to the review on this one!
I have never heard of this game... I love a good title laying exploration game, but might be out on the theme. great review!
It's not too spooky if it helps! Haha but yeah if you're not interested in a "nightmare" theme, it might not be the best choice.
@@settleroftheboards I am willing to admit it might be to spooky for me!
Thanks for reviewing Tenpenny Parks! 🎪
How did you feel about playtime? BGG list it was 60/120 minutes, and you talk about it being slow action-wise on your website. Does it feel that slow? It looks fantastic and something my group might like, but it's hard to get a 2-hour game to the table sometimes. Love the review btw!
It definitely fell in that range. I played at every count, my plays averaged at about 100 minutes. With 2 players we got it down to an hour after we both knew how to play. 2 certainly doesn't have as much downtime, so it doesn't feel as slow. At 4 if can just feel long between turns sometimes but even at a 4 player count where everyone was new to it, it was right at 2 hours (give or take a few minutes) so the timing is fairly accurate. I think it really comes down to who you play with. I think if someone is prone to AP, this might not be the best game for them. But most games I didn't feel like the timing was too bad. And personally I think 3 players is the sweet spot for it.
@@settleroftheboards That's good to know, thank you!
It does look interesting. The buliding art looks nice, though the graphics itself is just ok.
I gave this one a 3. It took HOURS longer than it needed to, and everything was more fiddly than fun. I also lost by a mile and still don't understand WHY. Overall it was a terrible experience. I played it at 5, what was your player count?
My partner felt the exact same way you did. He also loves Castles so I think it made him hate it more. I wanted to like it more than I did, but I do agree that it is more fiddly than it should be. I tried it at 1,2,3, and 4. And by then I kind of decided that it wouldn't be enjoyable at 5 at all. I liked it best solo, but it was still really long.
Such an amazing job! I bought this boardgame mainly for painting the miniatures. It's sad seeing boardgames with cardboard minis.
I am looking for a good tutorial video on this as all the ones I can find don't follow the rulebook that I have. Do you know of a video like that, or do you have a demo video you made? Thanks.
I don't have anything like that. It looks like there might be a how to play video on the boardgamegeek page for it, but I am not sure what rulebook it uses, I wasn't aware there was more than one, actually. Hope you find what you need!
Great review!
Thanks!
I wish you mentioned some of Carls games because this sounds familiar but I can’t remember the game I’ve played 😅
Haha, sorry! Some that I have played are Uchronia, Innovation, and Glory to Rome!
Great review!
Thank you for this brief review!
Great review thanks
You are pretty redhead donut and you look like interesting person, you have sub and new fan from Serbia
Thank you so much for your review!
Hi. I have included a link to this video in my review of Outrun the Bear over at boardgameadd.blogspot.com/2023/11/review-outrun-bear.html Hope thats okay
But is the game fun and would you teach for this game often against games like cubirds
@@settleroftheboards I meant reach for and cubirds is free on bga
Keep it up 🎉❤
I want it!
im hoping to get this fulfilled soon!
Can’t wait to hear what you think!
Nahh thats called diabetes and getting fat
Oh nice! You’ve got Omega Virus back there!
Thanks for the video. Also, I see Forbidden Bridge back there. I don't care how simple it is, it will always be one of my favorite games.
Another great video! I will keep an eye out for this one, sounds fun
Omg your video popped up above mine and we have almost the same thumbnail but we're holding the box on diffrent sides 😂 Awesome video though, this game is so much fun
Settler. this is good uploading. adios.
