It's even more amazing how gameplay actually can make or break a game. I don't care if your game is beautiful if gameplay is uninteresting. It's a game, after all 🤷♀️.
This game and Teotihuacan kicked off a huge interest in Dice placement games for me. Ive previously enjoyed worker placement as a mechanic but the formula started to grow stale. Throwing dice into the formula suddenly made the individual workers matter because they now have different strengths and adds another layer of strategy into the mix. The fact that it isnt all that difficult to gain camels to change up your die in this game earns it a plus. Though I havent yet played another dice placement game as good as this and Teo, I have found excellent dice-as-resource games such as Troyes (and by extension, Black Angel) and The Magnificent (which took me a while to appreciate because of how abstract the theme is). Anyways, I agree that Marco Polo and its sequel would be great games to check out if youre into dice placement or euros in general.
These are in those genre of games that looks dry, but when I see how it is played sounds really interesting. I still want to play it before buying it, but definitely interested in it.
How is Marco Polo 1 obsolete. I own both and they have a very different feel. 1 is a lot more tight with money and travel. 2 seems looser in this aspect but still has many difficult and interesting choices. I dont recommend owning both, I might sell one of them, but they cater to different people.
In my case 1 because my friends found 1 too tight and rather not play it. I already played 1 a lot and still like it. Personally I like 1 with expansion better. I just wanna say that if you get 1 at this time it is still a great game. 2 is not necessarily better.
Will you ever check out Agricola? It's really good. Rules are fairly simple, but the amount of strategic thinking is very high and luck influence is almost non existant.
I love this game. But I'm also super good at it (with an 80% win rate in 4-player games) so people don't want to play with me anymore. 😅 Also, am I the only one who loves this theme? I've listened to a bunch of podcasts about people like Marco Polo and Giovanni da Pian del Carpine, and they lived amazing lives. It's awesome to relive their journeys in a board game.
Ughhhh I wanna play the game so bad but the thing is I can’t get a bored game cause idk how to get 1 anyone know how to get a decent one like where can I buy them?
I never liked this game. It feels a little unbalanced. The traveling part of the game is way less rewarding than the contracts. If you play in less than 4, just ignore the traveling and keep doing contracts and you win by a landslide.
Untrue. Play more games and you'll see. Travelling gives you more options on where to put your dice, not to mention the bonus on the big cities and the turn bonus on small cities (blue ones). Also there's the possibility to get the bonus points from Beijing. The trick is balancing what contracts you do with the travel you want to do. Need camels? Try to get camel contracts. Money? Money contracts. The extra movement contracts are also really good if you use them to land on an extra city and not on an oasis. Not travelling is throwing away ~20 points plus beijing points, plus the extra city bonus and actions. Only works against people that are new to the game or have extremely bad luck on dice (and even then I doubt it). Not to mention 2 characters are made specifically for travelling and there's a bonus 5+10 points on the 8th and 9th outpost (One of those characters can actually lay down 11 outposts for an additional 10 points).
@@mariomartins261I owned this game for many years and while I love the gameplay, me and my group seemed unable to fully "understand" the game. Everyone came to the conclusion that travelling was so expensive, it wasn't worth it in the end. We never managed to get all trading posts on the map while fulfilling the contracts has always been way easier. Since they reward you with a lot of points and the one who fulfilled the most also got additional points at the end the winner after every single game was always the one who fulfilled the most contracts. We never felt that placing trading posts was worth the effort. Since we want to give this game another try after many years of neglect I wonder if we simply didn't understand something about it or if the game really is that unbalanced towards one strategy over the other. Discussions and reviews don't seem to suggest it so the problem must be within our group.
Essentially there was never enough time to nearly get all trading posts on the map. Felt very weird to read that other people do not have this problem. :D

Let’s face it, Meme review is nothing compared to Board Game review
So which ones better
Board game review
I'm depressed. You don't get to cry out, "Marco," and someone else call out, "Polo?"

This game is fun when you actually remember all of the stuff you needed from the manual
It's not that complicated. Everything's on the board.

ProZD: The theming is a little dry
Me: MARCO POLO!!
Yesterday I played this on yucata. Very good boardgame
I love these board game reviews, keep it up
This man is more entertaining then 90 percent of the you tubers on this platform
This game is really good. Marco Polo v2 is even better
Return of the king
You should review "small world" its a pretty fun game with lots of friends
The game has friends?
This game was like Wingspan to me. Turned off by the theme and couldn't care less, but the game is surprisingly fun.
Couldn't
It's amazing how much theme can make or break the game... there are so many rules I am more than willing to learn for 7 Wonders and all its expansions
It's even more amazing how gameplay actually can make or break a game. I don't care if your game is beautiful if gameplay is uninteresting. It's a game, after all 🤷♀️.
Marco!
Polo!
He’s back boys
Yes!!!
He never left
Jeoslapha he means he made a new vid
Marco
Polo Ha!
If you think Marco Polo is boring, watch the Marco Polo Netflix series. It's basically Game of Thrones in Asia. Awesome show!
Season 1 is mehh so I did not watch season 2

Yo,i like these reviews.
Will you ever try The Binding Of Isaac:Four Souls?although it may be too simple of a game or something.
There are a lot of times where using items can be really confusing
It's a fun game, nonetheless XD.
Played it 2-3 times...dope little filler about using souls lol
"No Views" oh I'm early nice
"3 likes" Yo TH-cam wtf
Pls do a video where you review the taste of all your board games.
It says that theres 3 Comments.... TH-cam you fricking liar.
Or maybe i'm the 3 Comments
Perhaps.
Lol just subbed and turned on notifications
Iv seen that board before
Hey ProZD, you should do a boardgame review on Jumanji the boardgame. I've seen the boardgame at target but you could probably order it online.
I wonder if this is in Tabletop Simulator
Watching a board game review when you don't have friends 😶
I feel you
The lg and sm resource tokens - legit complaint.
Thoughts on The Fox in the Forest?
They should have sent you Marco Polo II :( Polo 1 is already obsolete
How is Marco Polo 1 obsolete. I own both and they have a very different feel. 1 is a lot more tight with money and travel. 2 seems looser in this aspect but still has many difficult and interesting choices.
I dont recommend owning both, I might sell one of them, but they cater to different people.
@@Edwinschuur which one will you sell?
In my case 1 because my friends found 1 too tight and rather not play it. I already played 1 a lot and still like it.
Personally I like 1 with expansion better.
I just wanna say that if you get 1 at this time it is still a great game. 2 is not necessarily better.
First time I caught a vid semi early
Two years later, do you think the game holds up?
Marco Polo?
Ticket To Ride ish
MARCO

Amazon has offers all the time. Also checking the publisher's website. Try to find a group near your area about boardgames, you might find something.
When there's no views but 16 comments
