This was like a trip to the gaming store without leaving my house. Really enjoyed that. A couple of weeks ago, I was browsing the web for a game that has been out of print since it’s first and only printing in 2017. Lo and behold! Cape Fear Games still had two copies of it. It was a great moment! Used the code, got the discount, and the game arrived last week.
I like watching the videos of how to play a game because so many games can look all blingy on the box and description of it, but can end up being marketing hype. There ARE plenty of games that STILL give me that feeling, but I don't want to be just buying stuff and then disappointed or have it taking up space on the shelf.
The recent expansion for 3000 Scoundrels, Double or Nothing, added a solo mode. I recently got the game and expansion, but have not had a chance to table it yet.
Damn, they have a painted Mistwind KS edition!!! That would be an instant buy for me. Seas of Havoc gas a reprint campaign upcoming. 16:13 Bonfire, a very dry but well made euro.
Mistwind looked very busy, main reason it didn’t win out. Sometimes busy is quite good 🤷♂️. And I wish I had taken a closer look at the painted minis. To see what that means. Sundrop? Full color? I seem to recall full color.
@@BoardgamesforOne The game is actually a really chilled pickup and delivery. Painted in this case is a very sweet and unique Sundrop-Paint combo that somehow goes very well with the theme and minis.
As for new games: Fairy Ring looks fun and Reef project. Daybreak caught my eye because of the hopeful theme but the actual play through I’ve seen don’t have me sold on it. So looking into Reef project a little more. Used games: Bitoku
CDMD is one of my favorite co-op games, and I'm not a big Cthulhu person either. It's dice chucking chaos while your characters get more powerful as they go crazy. It's about balance and risk management on a timer. I'm currently playing online with a few out of state friends in a house ruled campaign mode, and it's been a blast. I'd absolutely recommend you try before you buy given the size of the even the core box alone.
Thanks. Good to know. For some reason I remember hearing about this a while ago. Is this a reimplementation? or maybe that was just the crowdfunding buzz I heard.
@@BoardgamesforOne It went back to crowdfunding for season 3 and 4. Season 3 is the one you showed in the video. Annoyingly enough they're already at retail but US backers won't get their pledges until December probably.
@@morgaknightgames that explains it. Thanks. I do not like that system of backers getting their copy later. It discourages backing. I’m glad for things to hit retail, but the order feels distasteful.
I love the variety of new games, it just means you can find games to match very specific criteria. I look for engine building solo-able games with a scenario/campaign mode, engaging art, non-table hog, 30-60 minute gameplay, and unique theme. 😅 Still plenty of options even with pretty specific criteria.
@@BoardgamesforOne Oh gosh, I didn't mean that towards you personally and really sorry if it came off that way. I really enjoy your content which is why I watch. I mean the big picture.
I like Search for Planet X. I have only played it solo but I think it’s competitive to find the information multiplayer. I would like to try Flashpoint. Creature Caravan looks gorgeous and I have been reading about it on Instagram and it sounds fun. Really enjoyed the health and safety warning about metal vs wooden pieces. 😂

That’s awesome man. Thank you. What game?

even better, a trip to the gaming store that didn't cost me any money 😂

I get it. I watch how to plays sometimes just because they are calm and generally slow.

@@chapmage oh that’s fantastic. Thank you.

@@Biodelic Well I'll be back in the store in a week so . . . who knows what may happen.
I played Rebuilding Seattle recently, multiplayer and solo, and it was fantastic! Highly recommend. 🙂
That is two strong recommendations now. Thank ya

@@christagregg9363 nice. I just got daybreak out for a a few plays. Gameplay is great, but it’s a bit heavy on its message imo.
I learned how to deck build with Arctic Scavengers... it is a great game.
😎 I’m looking forward to it myself

@@BoardgamesforOne I'm usually ok with it if it's just a few weeks, but several months is incredibly disrespectful.
@@morgaknightgames agree
Creators of Islebound, Near and Far etc also made ROAM. It's a great game 😊
Ah the Button Shy game? Sweet

Any top games you’d recommend in those criteria?
These have been on the table recently :)
Lost Ruins of Arnak
Viticulture
Harvest
Legacy of Yu
Aeon’s End Legacy
OMG, I played Arctic Scavengers in 2009. I didn't know it was reprinted. It was one of the first deckbuilders but was sort of an indie game back then.
Ah an oldie. I like a deck builder so I’m excited for it. I’ll have to check when it was reprinted.
Creature Caravan is amazing!
@@JeremyJohnsonmcmxcAD then I’m glad I got it.
Everyone seems to use the Rhode mic's...if that counts for anything! 😉
It does thank you.
I often feel like I'm being manipulated to buy a products which isn't a great feeling.
@@lilianempls that isn’t great. It’s not something I want to do. Is it my delivery or when I mention the sponsor?
@@BoardgamesforOne Oh gosh, I didn't mean that towards you personally and really sorry if it came off that way. I really enjoy your content which is why I watch. I mean the big picture.
@@lilianemplsoh I get it. Like in general 😎.
I feel the same way. So glad that someone else shares this feeling.
❤
I love 🎉😊🎉😊🎉😊
well thank you

Safety first. Thank you. It sure does look pretty. So far I hear only good. I wonder if it’s going to fit the honey buzz niche for me.
