    Without the gears, could you imagine each round having to move each worker up one space? What a time saver the gears provide. I really do not think the gears are a gimmick. They serve a perfect function. Genius adaptation of the multiple gears moving as once to advance the workers. NOT A GIMMICK. Thanks for making these videos!

      I'm with you. The gears are a brilliant invention that basically created a new board game mechanic. That part of the review is... bollocks.

    Tzolkin is one of my favourite board games. The tribes and prophesies expansion makes it amazing.

      Cheers mate...trying to do something different here. Always trying to improve and I think we have if you look at our early reviews.

    Genius mechanic to feed your workers on the Chicken Pizza cog!

    Been enjoying these 'still worth it?' reviews!
    I really dig the gears in the game, as it does beat having to reach around the table to move the little bits around. Otherwise, the weirdness with all of the different tracks and yellow/red wheels and what you can do with them once you figure them out is definitely making this a keeper for me.
    The expansion might be interesting to try out and review as well. I've personally found the starting abilities to be super fresh! I also like how they give you an anchor for your strategy, so you don't risk getting super lost as often. I'm assuming they made the marco polo game and found "why not do this in our other game?" lol

      I’ve not played the expansion but it’s going cheap at the mo so I may pick it up...

    Great video! I keep watching it while I decide whether to buy this game or not. I know you said you play with your mom, but I am not sure if you play exclusively 2-players or with more people. Is this game worth it if I am *only* going to play it at 2 players?

    • @BoardGameBollocks

      It’s fine with 2 as you block off some of the spaces on the cogs.

    I like you, The Discriminating Gamer and Drive Through Reviews as the best reviewers. Besides Tom, Zee, Roy & Mike that is.

    I feel a growing need to buy this game. Probably because I want to pose on Instagram with some freshly painted gears with a gormless expression upon my face. Strange what 12 months of lockdown does for your priorities.

    • @BoardGameBollocks

      My gears arent painted but I got the gormless look down no problem 👍🏻

    Love these “still worth it” videos. I agree that Tzolkin is still worth it. I enjoy the game and it’s always a good thinky time. I do wish there was some more variability a la teotihuacan, but it’s still a solid game. I see dungeon petz, any chance you’d do a video on it?

      Turns out we’ve only done a live playthrough. I get a review done in the new year. Will have to go back and play it again.
