    8:27 would love some recommendations on large group games, if anyone would be so kind

      Well, that depends on how large a group, and what kind of experience you’re looking for. If you’re looking for an intense, long, and very thoughtful game for 8-16 ppl, I don’t think you can do better than blood on the clocktower. But, for just giggles, something like monomer/times up doesn’t require the same kind of intensity and is just fun. There are so many games. I’d recommend going to boardgamegeek and sorting by party games if you want even more suggestions.

    As much as I appreciate your longform essay vids, These sub 15min reviews are ideal for me as well as I can consume and appreciate them quickly. Everytime you guys release an essay, it takes me a long time to find the space in my schedule between work and kids to consume it. Looking forward a to mix of both types in the future. Keep up the excellent work gang!

    Not gonna lie, when I heard the Microsoft Windows error sound--on my PHONE--my heart leapt into my throat for a moment before my brain registered the gag. Well played, NPI. Well plate.
    Autocorrect changed the second, misspelled "played" into "plate" and I'm keeping it in for comedy reasons.

    Thanks for another great review from my favorite Disney Princess! I've been looking forward to more coverage of this game since SU&SD dropped a mention of it (I have some family members who love hiking who I have been looking for games to play with) so I am really grateful for as much in depth consideration as you gave it here!

    Not accepting review copies is AWESOME. You'll feel so much better when absolutely blasting a game into outer orbit -- or loving it, for that matter. No more nagging thoughts in the back of your mind. No awkward e-mails.

    While the waterproof nature of the PVC cards is ridiculous like you're saying, you can't sleeve the card cards, and I do worry about their durability - my local board game cafe's copy of Bandido is GRIM. So I went for PVC - they shuffle nicer too.

    • @arthurdent9281

      Are these like the deluxe cards for Radlands, or something different? I really like the ones in Radlands.

    • @nickmurray5169
      @nickmurray5169 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@arthurdent9281Yeah Radlands uses PVC cards as well. Although the Trailblazers cards are a tad thinner (which is good because small cards are hard to shuffle if they are too thick).

    what a brave decision to get away from review copies, I always admired your integrity and personally I wouldn't call you biased if you'd keep receiving review copies instead, but I appreciate the extra effort you are making there!

    • @NoPunIncluded
      @NoPunIncluded  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I appreciate you saying that but bravery had nothing to do with it. It was simply convenient and somewhat necessary for us to do so. I don't think review copies have any actual sway, there are far more pressing issues for board game media to tackle.

    The mechanic of passing your hand to the player to your left reminds me of Between Two Cities .. if BTC was only about playing the last few rounds where every hand you get from the player to your right is constantly a poor fit for your city 😑

    Lovely review ❤ Trailblazers seems an awful lot like Button Shy's "Sprawlopolis" family of games, with the overlapping of cards and scoring conditions based on shapes and connections? That game hurts my brain too much though, so I'm gonna stick with Calico (which I love btw, perfect amount of crunch)
