I love Armello. League of Geeks used to say they weren't planning a physical version because a couple mechanics were too complex, but I knew there were work arounds.
I've been very hyped that this kickstarter being successful. Idk if there's a way to play other heroes besides the main 4, but I'm liking what I'm seeing.
I love the digital Armello game, but I can't help but to feel sort of apprehensive when it comes to the change in genre. The Digital game is a Dicebuilding game where you're constantly rolling your dice. But now it's a Deckbuilding game where your dice feel secondary to your cards. I like the fact that in the digital version, you had a global pool of spells and actions that you drew from. I also liked the way you could choose between two quest rewards. The rot mechanic also doesn't sound very fleshed out in this version, as you could embrace rot to be more powerful at the cost of being a consequence free target to kill.
@@spilchsaysstuff1427 Fair, I'm just concerned with the drastic shift. Because thematically it feels less like Armello and more like any other deckbuilder.
I have put hundreds of hours into this game. I have never wanted to get anything from Kickstarter until now. I'm definitely getting the Deluxe Edition. I want all the Dice, I want Spirit Stones made of glass I want this game.
I was so exited for an actual board game of Armello... But was so extremely dissapointed seeing only 4 character And having only 2 ways to win inteast of 4. So much that makes think of not getting the board game at all and just get a couple of copies of the actual videogame to my friends
The changes from the digital game look well thought out, looks like it streamlines a few things and the deck building will probably be make the game more appealing in the tabletop space than the if it played just like the digital version. The rot victory condition was cool but frankly very hard to pull off until the DLC came around, so makes sense to omit it but maybe there’s potential for an expansion.
Oh My God !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Edit: There are quite significant changes from the digital game, however I love the characters and world of Armello, so I don't mind experiencing them with different gameplay mechanics.
@@elromcohen6751 @BeforeYouPlay Yes please! I love watching your game play videos (especially since I can't afford anywhere near the amount I want to buy... not and stay married. ;-))
It's been a long time since you made a top 50 board games of all time, which is one of the best I've seen on youtube, do you plan to make another one in the short term? I'm dying to know if Ark Nova, Cascadia, Planet Unknown, Heat or Earth took a new place in your rankings. Greetings from Chile.
Not sure when retail release will be, currently just know about their Kickstarter campaign. The link is in the description of the video where there should be some more info.
@@BeforeYouPlay yeah, Kickstarter is completely out of the equation for us here in Brazil, specially with the current chaotic state of our Postal and Shipping have been with imports lately. We would only get this when it's actually available in our stores here 🥲
are there only two paths to victory, both requiring victory points? (ie, no rot victory or spirit stone king heal?) if so, that would be incredibly disappointing.
I enjoy your presentations and positive energy. It's hard to absorb all the details though. Perhaps focus on the emotion and story of the game. But don't necessarily listen to me. This is a hugely successful project.
As of the current ruleset there is no 2v2 mode, but things could change in the final copy. I’d recommend messaging the publisher and getting that idea on their radar.
I've played the digital version and didn't like it very much. So much randomness for a very hard and in your face game, take that from left and right. Me and my friends fought everytim we played hahahaha. But it is gorgeous and maybe the boardgame version makes it a little more bearable for me.
Sad to see many elements of the game not making it to the table (understandably), and the visual presentation (going by the prototype) not being improved. Still, it does seem to have good production value. Still, a pass for me, at least when a much better experience is still available on Steam.
HOLY SHIT. I PLAYED THE SHIT OUT OF THIS ON STEAM! PLEASE BE GOOD! (Sorry for all caps but i'm excited as duck!)
Same! Was planning on saving a little bit but here we are 😂
Also... hoping to see River or Magna
@@patrickgagnon6329The life of a boardgamer! Luckily i have no other hobbies like reading books or playing videogames. That would be rediculous. 🌝
So excited for all the fans of the video game!!
You always have the best videos. So informative. Thank you so much for your hard work. ❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words!
this was very detailed. well done.
I love Armello. League of Geeks used to say they weren't planning a physical version because a couple mechanics were too complex, but I knew there were work arounds.
I was always curious how they could possibly implement stealth. It seems they didn't 😂.

Many years ago I got this as a free game when PlayStation had a promotion and I go so addicted to it
What?!?! I love this game! It’s a board game now??
Sounds like a lot of people love/loved the video game. I think it's time we tried it!
@BeforeYouPlay There is a f2p version on mobile that features the characters you demonstrated in the video (including a spell-casting bear).

Yep. Gonna wait for retail, if it comes. I see a lot of reason to think this board game might be very average. Whereas the video game is kick ass.
It's not going to be the video game. It couldn't possibly be that. I'm going to let it be its own thing.

Such a fantastic computer game. I rarely back Kickstarters these days, but this will be one of those rare occasions
I have to confess that I didn't really like the changes in relation to the digital game... But I'm going to give the game a chance since I'm a fan
We haven't played the video game so it's hard to know from our prospective. Hope you will enjoy it!
Best Armello Board Game video so far.
Thank you so much!
I have put hundreds of hours into this game.
I have never wanted to get anything from Kickstarter until now.
I'm definitely getting the Deluxe Edition. I want all the Dice, I want Spirit Stones made of glass I want this game.
So many people have been raving about the video game! Monique is the main video gamer in the house, I think she's going to try it.
Man this looks so good!
I was so exited for an actual board game of Armello...
But was so extremely dissapointed seeing only 4 character And having only 2 ways to win inteast of 4.
So much that makes think of not getting the board game at all and just get a couple of copies of the actual videogame to my friends
I hope you guys do a game play video..😊

man if only they ship this to my country... still this is a must have for me.
Sorry to hear they don't ship to you!!! SAD!!!
@@BeforeYouPlay
Please do a gameplay when they allow you to show more things...🙏
@@elromcohen6751 @BeforeYouPlay Yes please! I love watching your game play videos (especially since I can't afford anywhere near the amount I want to buy... not and stay married. ;-))
Sounds like this will be great fun. Keeping my eye on this un 😊
Thanks for checking out the video!
Allways. You made me buy Lisboa and On Mars 😃

OMG. I cannot believe this is actually happening. When this actually hit stores, I would buy it without a second thought.

Yup :( it’s very different from the video game.
It's a shame that they won't deliver to the Middle East😢 Playing this pc game for years!
Sorry to hear that! Hopefully that can change!

Armello content LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO
YEEEEEE!
Can you play this 2v2?
As of the current ruleset there is no 2v2 mode, but things could change in the final copy. I’d recommend messaging the publisher and getting that idea on their radar.
@@BeforeYouPlay thanks for letting me know!
Sooooo in a way there is a solo mode with the Hero AI deck ?
Not officially 👀
will the channel play it?
Can you defeat the king with the spirit stones like in the game? Or am i misremembering? I know i loved that moment
I think the main purpose of the Spirit Stones are to gain prestige points. Not sure if this will change in the final production copy.
Thanks for the info!@@BeforeYouPlay

You fought with your friends lol!! I know they are also working on same more aesthetic things for the final product.

Yet another voice who really enjoyed the computer game. Maybe we can get virtual Armello games going in the Discord.
