Thank you for this fantastic interview! I love Taiki Shinzawa's games (I own Ghosts of Christmas, 9 Lives, Maskmen, Big Top, Charms, Inflation, American Bookshop). There's a few of his older designs I've been looking for but they're really hard to find, such as Cowardly Bat.

I see Innovation. I hit Like And Subcribed lol.

Where can I buy it? Can I buy it online in the US?

Love your channel. Used it to buy many games in Japan. Though perfumery took 3 of us 2 hours lol i admit both are very AP players and analysis everything. At first you think it's going to be a worker placement game but it's more a thinky, brain burning engine builder. 😂 love the game. Keeper.

Hmm so many zodiac board games, i searched it, zodiac rush is the best as i have experience

Great review 👍🏻 What are the dots / markings on the tiles for ?

Other than the take that being impersonal, I wonder if the counterplay possibilities from placing your veggies in certain positions help mitigate that sense of powerlessness in take that games where "someone else just plays a card and you can't do anything about it"

Yeah that kind of randomness-dependent interaction feels like you can only interact if the game randomly allows you. That should've been the player's decision..

The games has 6 little boards, how do I know how many of them am I going to use? Also, in a two player game, is it mandatory to use 4 boards?

I'd thumbs up the cake solution and like that house rules are inherent depending on how you like to play.

This is really cool!

Thumbs up for the cake solution! Its sounds like it could create some really funny explanations 😂

Thank you for this very informative and thoughtful review. How do you feel about the game 1 year on? Has it held up?

U look like “nothing is better than chocolate covered hotdogs” guy lmfao

Cute video. But, beyond that, an informative one. Thanks for sharing!

Great analysis. Enjoyed the video.

Great video! Love the sincerity and quality of the content. Just genuinely helpful. Thanks!!

Thumbs up! 👍

It would be great if you would translate all the cards for us non-Japaense speakers, so that we folks could make paste ups for this game 😇

Hyaenidae is one of the smallest mammal families. It consists of only four subspecies that are distributed throughout the African continent, Central Asia, and India, and not all are particularly aggressive. In fact, other than the spotted African Hyena they tend to be rather cowardly, relying on hunting in large groups, and almost always avoiding attacking when on their own. So, they tend attack in number in order to feel safe and, on many occasions, they will retreat as quickly as possible when they feel under threat. So the theme is understandable - especially as it's an asian game designer probably more used to the striped Hyena which live as far as South Asia.

Bought on amazon jp both the one with the haunted house theme and the one with business theme. both games have English text. thanks for the recommendation and congrats on 1k subs!

Nice list. I have more in common with Eric than with Tsumachan, but both are cool. For Eric: have you played more Splotters? Any that work good with two players?

What are the Left and Right tokens for?

Congrats on hitting 1000 subs! That’s huge! As for the game example, I have to give a thumbs down. I think it might save the cake topper but not the cake, sorry. The game does sound interesting. Could definitely be an add-on to a future order. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you TH-cam for this wonderful video suggestion

I have the Haunted House theme published by Cosaic and it also has English text. That version has gone over really well with the people I've played it with, maybe because it's a little easier to imagine solutions to the situations (?). I like the Board Game Dojo's nuanced review of this game, it's not for everyone, but I think if it sounds like something you would enjoy, give it a try.

Thumbs Up ! Congrats on 1000k

Thumbs up! :)

Congrats on hitting the 1K, love the channel. Not sure about this game though, not giving me the same "I want to play it" vibe as other games such as ITO.

Thumbs up for the game, thumbs down for any leaning cake problem solved WITHOUT sneaking a taste of the icing😇

I don’t think you did a good job because I don’t think you would be close enough so it would work. 😂

I've almost bought this so many times!

the hidden team sounds clever in how it allows honest evaluation without team bias.

Love it, but a bit too simple for me - great for new players!

did you see the new Ito Classic version?

This is an enjoyable video but I was hoping to see the how to play first... and seems like you didn't end up making one? Good video regardless, but I think I prefer your format with them together and I can skip to the part I want, or watch in the order I want. :)

Sounds great! Where can I find this game to import?

REALLY Appreciate all the thought that went into this comparison!! Thank you!!! Really ENJOYED the video and your insightful perspective! Just subscribed 😊

Datto! Looks great. I can’t find it anywhere online. Do you know where I can get hold of it?

I am SO bad at this type of game, Kermit the Frog would be better at it. It looks like a fun game, but when you're as poor at these games as I am, it's best to just give it a pass. Great video as always there mate, keep 'em coming.

What an amazing game! It's such a shame it's so hard to find, why hasn't one of the big publishers picked this one up? This is going to become my new obsession, track down and find a copy of this gem, and adding it to my collection. Just one little question: if two players play - let's say - their purple die, one to increase the value of a card, the other to change its colour, do they still have to roll off at the end of the round? I got a copy of Nokosu Dice a few weeks ago, and being a sucker for throwing dice, I really love it, but this one looks even more up my street, so the hunt is now officially on. This video has been absolutely fantastic, because you introduced me to a game I was totally unaware of, and I thank you so much for doing so.

Hi. Great review! Did you try 2 player without the 8s? I heard that it is a pretty good variant; closest to the 3-4 player game.

Hi there! Thanks for the tips! Is there any store you recommend that sells online and ships to the US?

Why does Rumble Nation remind me of Age of War...renamed perhaps? Must add I appreciate the names in the description for easy reference since the big channels hate doing so for some reason..

Great video! I really love the look of the duck game but I'm not sure I understand the rules entirely. Even reading the manual on BGG left me with some questions, is it a game y'all might do an entire video on?

Does anyone know an email or contact for Board Game Dojo?

Congrats you two! Have yall caught wind of the new Ito coming out? Would love to hear your thoughts!

She's as cute as her artwork☺️

Thank you Eric and Tsumachan. This is quite a heartwarming video and yes, I also vote for Tsumachan to contribute more. A mix of posts would be great. May I share that my wife and I started playing FLOWERPOWER (Kosmos) and TARGI (Kosmos) especially when travelling. More recently we have enjoyed FOX AND THE FOREST DUET (Foxtrot Games) and really enjoyed the co-op aspect. We are currently stuck on SAIL (Allplay) and it’s not an easy co-op game. But we are still trying. I love the way you let each other speak and say what you want to say right to the end - I know some couples have difficulty doing this. And you both bring different reasons for liking certain games. That’s very important indeed (and great to hear too). So……Happy Anniversary and thanks again.

Happy anniversary! Fun video! I especially enjoyed hearing about how you play Wingspan together; it sounds really lovely. Yes to more Tsumachan!
