Sam Phillips knocked it out of the park with the art for Assyria! It's really cool to see the two distinctive art styles of both the mico and Sam defining the two main lines of games you guys have. Both very vibrant in their own way and make Garphill games stand out on my shelf!
I played my first Garphill Games game in July of last year. It was Wayfarers of the South Tigris. And it was one of the most brilliant games I've ever played. I've been hooked since. I now own WotST (2), SotST (24), E&N (20), IotST (7), and SotNSR (40). And all are in my top 50 of all time (ranks in parentheses). The South Tigris Trilogy has helped me realize that dice worker placement is my favourite mechanism. And especially so with the unique and innovative ways it's employed in these three games. All this to say please keep up the outstanding work! Can't wait for the expansions KS and checking out the other projects you're working on. I play primarily solo so I appreciate, in particular, the excellent solo modes you two develop and create to allow solo gamers to still enjoy these phenomenal games.
I like that you listened to feedback on older games and are still looking at improving them. The Paladins individual suspicion decks makes a lot of sense, and my wife who's always up to criminal behaviour will appreciate it.
Just want to say been LOVING the podcast. I listen to a handful of board game related podcast but yours is so fresh with the technical side of gaming and design, love all the "behind the scenes" talk of your games and how they've been shaped and tweaked.
I don’t know whether to cheer, laugh, or cry. I just purchased the playmat for $100 because people on bgg were saying that it would never be reprinted and after trying to find it for nearly a year we caved and bought it at this insane markup. Womp womp lesson learned for me. So glad to have the opportunity for the Runesaga and the solo deck and the promos that I also have struggled to get my hands on. Enough bemoaning. THANK YOU. Thank you thank you thank you for doing this. Raiders is a beloved game still for many and I am glad these items are coming back for people who only recently got into board gaming or just discovered this wonderful series, or maybe missed out the first time around.
Oh, that is pricey! Sorry we hadn't announced this sooner. At least you have it now though, and don't have to wait another year for this Kickstarter to deliver.
I couldn't catch you live. I find it cool that you try to revive some older titles. Older ones can be very simple, clean with lots of depth. I am really excited for the East. Curious to see how deep you go into the heavy realm :D
Sam said in one episode of Lens & Veil that he would love to make a Paladins otWK Redux, and I hope he does- my wife and I loved paladins, but we ended up selling it because there’s a winning strategy (1 of the paths yields far fewer points and one yields far more, meaning it’s ‘solvable’), so an evergreen Redux version would be fantastic! It’s my favorite theme and mechanism-wise of the North/South/West games
Great news guys!! Thank you for creating the whole Raiders of the North Sea series. Do you have any plans to add more content to the game on iOS? That would be great!!
@ they’re the only ones doing it in board games, but they’re common in poker circles. Wyrmwood made them available for their custom poker decks, and they came out great
Have not been a fan of the south series. Happy to hear some love for the west again. Suspicion deck change is interesting. Might be worse. Don't care. Take my money.

Couldn't agree more! Thanks Jono.

Always look forward to these announcement videos.

The Assyria box art really pops. Stunning!
🤩
Thanks for the video. A question. Will ASSYRIA have a Solo Mode?
It sure will!
@@garphillgames excellent!!, Thanks for your answer

That was produced by Dire Wolf Digital, so it's out of our hands. I think at this stage though, it's safe to say that they won't be expanding it.
New Zeland rocks.
It’d be great if you offered the playing card decks in the plastic card format, like Radlands had
Not sure if that is Roxley specific or not, as I haven't seen anyone else offer the Synth cards, which are in Radlands and Santorini CE.
