As someone who has played the video game quite a bit but hasn't managed to get this game off my shelf to play it yet due to Frosthaven, your descriptions of everything remind me of the video game so much and has me excited to dive in!
Their expressed enthusiasm for the game is a HUGE win for me! I’ve put in loads of hours on the video game, and to hear 3 dudes talkin about a game not having touched the console version, and yet excitedly discussing strategy, challenges and euphoria of working together obtain victory just shows that the designers nailed it! I’m more interested in the nostalgia aspect and this is a miss on my end if I don’t buy it 😂
The video game is a 10/10 for me. I've got hundreds of hours on it. This is a fantastic adaptation of the game into cardboard and plastic. I would also rate it about 8/10 as a board game. I agree the rulebook could use some work. That specifically I'd give about a 5 out of 10. I made some of my own player aids for new players and that helps a lot.
This game is extremely close to the video game. Hearing you guys talk about, it almost sounds like you're talking about the video game. Also, I will say that it's a lot easier to learn and remember the rules, if you're familiar with the video game. I enjoyed it a lot, but thought that some of my enjoyment might be coming from my love for the video game, so it's very cool to hear such a positive review from three people who are not familiar with the video game.
I love that you guys keep going throughout the years. I dont tend to keep up with this channel as much as I did before life took over, but whenever I wanna check out a game, you guys are the first ppl I check. Keep it up.
I just got my kick-starter copy. And the game just works it hits ALL the spots of a nice dice rolling mission based game. It does everything zombicide doesn't. Some things are worded funny in the rules book but it didn't take away from the game. I can see this hitting the table frequently
3 Things, if I may: 1. The lack of reference sheet is because they know that a part of players will be people who have played the videogames.... And for us color make sens... But yes, it's a fair critics for people, just wanting a boardgame. 2. The driller exit method is a legit strategy from the video game.... 3. You guys (viewers and critics alike) don't hesitate to try out the videogames: it is very good IMHO....
You guys are missing out for having not played the video game! Actually shocked with all the love and praise that it's only 8. I'll take this long over Darwin's Journey 😂
Just a minor nitpick, but it would be nice to know that the game is cooperative at the beginning of the explanation, rather than the middle. That's a very crucial piece of information that I'm going to use to determine if the game is for me or not. Other than that, great job as always.
I have Massive Darkness 2 and Zombicide and don’t care for them that much. DRG? I enjoy it more than both of those games and like it a lot. My favorite dungeon crawl. It’s a 9 for me.
I am glad the game is getting more coverage! Good review. Interestingly, the enjoyment you guys expressed having had through clever mechanics, tactically-rewarding choices, and richly thematic moments doesn't seem to match the seal of approval. It seems like the rulebook unnecessarily kept the game from getting a seal of excellence (which I do think it deserves). I am curious what Tom would have thought of that one, since he loves lighter, fun, and thematic coops like this one. This seems like it would be a 9 for him.
I had a chance to get this on the Kickstarter but I didn't take it and I really wish I had. It's so lame that there are so many games out there that if you miss your window to get in on it you'll never be able to have the access to it. I love the video game deeprock and this boardgame looks great.
@@MaspitalWow almost missed it! I'm gonna sleep on it right now, and decide in the final few hours because I haven't seriously investigated this game but it sounds right up my alley. 😊
@@lystic9392 I actually decided against it, mostly due to their pricing but also because I don’t need another huge miniature game :p I’ll wait for their standee version, which will release next May
I loooooove this computer game (I have over 1,100 hours played). Ironically, this is one of those times that it makes me not want the board game even though I like this tabletop genre, because I'd always play the original instead.
@nerdyjawsh because a lot boardgame enthusiasts are constantly getting high on purchase and excitement of looking forward to the game than actually playing
Great game and nice to hear your thoughts as usual, but the overview was a mess. Not knowing how to name different objects/items and getting several rules wrong like grunts doing no damage, puttning gold on upgrade spots to overclock the secondary weapon etc.
As a deep rock galactic player, im mildly infuriated at the loadouts during the overview. Driller has the impact axe not the gunner, but the gunners primary is fine. The gunner also doesnt have the jury-rigged boomstick, the scout does, the breach cutter is for the engineer, but is not a primary, and i dont know any of the other weapons the engineer has. (Yes i know they havent played it before) Edit: Nevermind. After watching another video i now know that the weapons arent class specific

From the final thoughts it sounds like they did a great job of getting the video game feel on the boardgame. This is a must have for me.

Rock And Stone Forever!
Wake me up when there’s a Dwarf Fortress board game 😂
Did I hear a rock and stone?
Favorite game! so, so good !!! It is so true to the video game, better than I have seen in any other game.
I need to get our copy to the table!!!
Dice Tower rocks!
If you Rock n' Stone you are not alone!

This is up for pre-order at a couple local game shops I frequent, so if you really want it there are probably ways to land a copy. 👍
The campaign for their expansion is up, there you can also get the base game!

@@Maspital A channel called Optimal Play has a gameplay session with the standee version of the base game if you want to see what it's like.
I backed Marvel Zombies over this (couldn't afford both) but I still really want to play this. It just looks like a ton of fun
FOR KARL!!!

Dude holy crap that’s 45 straight days!!!! Remember you only have one life! It’s great to be alive!
@@john-qz3fu True, but I’ve been playing it for many years. Since early “early access.”
How would you compare this to Massive Darkness 2?
completely different game.
I will start a playeraid boycott. If the game doesnt have a playeraid for each player then I wont buy it. Time to put my consumer power to good use!
I wonder how many thousands of games don't have a player aid and managed just fine when someone didn't buy it because of that.
I've had this on my shelf of shame for a while. Debated selling it, but dang you guys! Now I'm gonna have to try it. You made it sound like a blast!
Why would you buy a game and not at least try it before selling it?
@@nerdyjawsh I was more interested in it during the Kickstarter. My time is limited, so that's why I debating just selling it. :)
@nerdyjawsh because a lot boardgame enthusiasts are constantly getting high on purchase and excitement of looking forward to the game than actually playing
@@jettryker lol "My time is limited" everyone's time is limited, we only have 100 years to live.
