It was nice to see you talk about a game for "Cult of the Now" that I know you thought this was very... just a game... This is a great deal for a game that has been super super hard to find in the past. I haven't played it yet myself, but my copy should be here any day. People have been raving about it, so excited to form my own opinion shortly.
@@nirszi Yeah, there was a time when you were lucky to even find it and if you did it was 300 or more. I get it's a higher price game, but it has good components and the expansions in the box. You can always not get the Maximum Chrome edition if you want to save some money.
Thanks for the video! Some good games out there, but I was only tempted by vestige. I backed it because I believe in O Neb. Im excited for your coverage on it (hopefully it will validate my decision to back!) And I think subsidize is the word you were looking for!
Thanks for this, as always. That said, I did skip some parts of the video, but I think you forgot Enormity, the new game from Into The Unknown (developers of Aeon Trespass Odyssey).
I would put a very big question mark around the timetable you will supposedly receive a Wyrmwood table based on reports from others who have ordered. To say Wyrmwood over promise and under deliver is an understatement in itself.
Avalon always had me, but I think I'm going to manage to keep away from all pledging this December :D May actually get into the cult of the now wishlist and pick something old-new for the holidays
You forgot to mention Keep The Heroes Out has content for the physical game in their digital campaign! I’m in for the new faction and mats right now (emberlings).
I was excited for the cooperative mode in Vestige, but unfortunately this from Tom (designer) via comments on Gamefound: "The co-op aspect of this is the version that is the least far through development". So, no one interested in coop will be able to back during the campaign unless purely on faith. Will be waiting for retail - at least ON offers everything in retail for their games.
Thank you for the info! Unless Alex and Meg are super excited (and it didn't seem like it), I will also just wait. It's a pity that they went on crowdfunding at this early stage (because I do appreciate the coop mode and the smaller box size).
@@m.schwarz After observing for the past 2 years, I feel like ON is pretty consistent in missing a lot of details when they launch campaigns. From what I can tell, this casual approach is part of their culture and they lean into that. On the upside, everything ends up in retail, so it's relatively safe to just wait on their games. The only flaw in that is missing out on freebies from the campaign, but I think that's not so bad compared to backing something you may not end up liking for lack of details. I think they design their campaigns for die-hard fans of their games, and I try not to be a die-hard fan of anything 😛
@BoardGameCo normally I'm actually pretty good in the mindset of 'if it's not a hell yes, it's a no for the campaign. But on this oddly I'm really struggling. 😅
Avalon looks really good just hard to decide how many of the add ons to get currently leaning towards metal and mistwalkers and skipping the holofoil and other upgrades
@ nope easy answers are long gone. I feel like there are just so many good games now. When I cull I’m cutting 8/10s and amazing games are only hitting the table 1-2 times a year. It’s a great time to be in the hobby but choices just keep getting harder where to put time and money
@@BoardGameCo Nah... You don't need to justify it reasonably. Where's the fun in that? 😁 No but seriously. In first place I like maximum variation and exploring new thing in my games so I at least want to have all the gameplay stuff. 😊 Foil cards would be a nice bling but yeah. Not needed 🙂
I really want to like Vestige as it's own game. It seems like a stripped down re-skin of Vindication with very little new to set it apart. I'm holding out for a video with gameplay to convince me it's worth backing. As much as I love O-Neb, I'm not one for throwing money at games that don't offer anything meaningfully new. Sure hope you'll get a copy early enough to show us how it plays.
The moment i realized the 180 is nott in my local currency (which woould make it around 45 usd) but its HUNDRED EIGHTY DOLLARS i think I need to smack someone 180 USD is not board game money unless you buy the whole lot of them at once, what the actual fuck do you mean "haha 180 USD for a game haha you see proces do bd like that" no they dont i feel like smacking someone. Thats like what SEVEN- EIGHT HUNDRED ZŁOTY? ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME INSANE. THIS IS INSANE. THATS LIKE 5 GAMES. NOT ONE. WOW
The first available videos from content creators about the Waste of Parts did not make the game shine. Meg just found it ok and the first playthrough made the game look mediocre. If you look the comment section, you'll find a lot of people who cancelled their pledge or didn't back at all after watching these videos
Personally I am glad I passed on the chrome edition. ALL the expansions fit into the base box with no inserts. The next expansion won't fit I bet. Base game is a 7 ish. With expansions the games a 10
Don’t want to back games anymore, tired of the buyers regret i get because of the FOMO I feel in the moment. There might be one or two games every now and then that I back because I believe, but I’d rather just get a game that is already out.
It’s all what you’re used to. I actually listen to these videos at two times speed. What Alex does well is pronounce his words well thus allowing others to understand his faster speeds.
Haven't watched one of these for a while but good to see the ceiling looks much further away from your head than it used to 😅
Very excited for Storyfold :)

$180 for Thunder Road V is a great deal?
@@nirszi Yeah, there was a time when you were lucky to even find it and if you did it was 300 or more. I get it's a higher price game, but it has good components and the expansions in the box. You can always not get the Maximum Chrome edition if you want to save some money.
Reviews are my opinion...but in every other sense I'm here to help, so I'm always down to promote a game I know others want.
48:52 Subsidize!
Really liking the available gameplay footage of Lairs. I almost missed it but it's my first backed game in months, now.
Me, looking at all those games, knowing that i'll overspend on Cthulhu DMD: "I am so sorry little ones!"
Thanks for the video! Some good games out there, but I was only tempted by vestige. I backed it because I believe in O Neb. Im excited for your coverage on it (hopefully it will validate my decision to back!)
And I think subsidize is the word you were looking for!
Thanks for this, as always. That said, I did skip some parts of the video, but I think you forgot Enormity, the new game from Into The Unknown (developers of Aeon Trespass Odyssey).
Alex mentioned Enormity on Monday
I would put a very big question mark around the timetable you will supposedly receive a Wyrmwood table based on reports from others who have ordered. To say Wyrmwood over promise and under deliver is an understatement in itself.

48:55 did you mean subsidize? 🙂
Any thoughts on First Monday in October ending on Dec 20?
Subsidize (shipping). I think that’s the word you were looking for, Alex
Indeed:)
Will Vestige have a solo version?

Still wrestling myself whether I should back Storyfold
If you're unsure, there's always retail down the road

Yep, I think the $200 all in is a nice bling ..but how many plays will you get out of it to justify it? No easy answers

Vestige
- we like to know if u gonna get a copy, and if u will play it along Vindication - as a serious player.
Im supposed to, but I can't control for when ..we shall see. Either way you'll get my thoughts somehow
Hopefully Roxley surprises with launching Brass next week. 😂

Pretty dry thig week, I might back Vestige but it will be a last minute decision.
Evershade, vestige, Avalon, storyfold...I thought there was a lot :)
@@BoardGameCo I should've said.. for my taste :)
...g. There I finished your sentence.
Lol
Thank you for finishing the sentence. But now I'm left wondering why I didn't get the joke...

$180 for Thunder Road must be the lowest value board game on sale right now. Even if you LOVE this game, which I don't.
Lol you're not wrong..but it is sought after
Don’t want to back games anymore, tired of the buyers regret i get because of the FOMO I feel in the moment.
There might be one or two games every now and then that I back because I believe, but I’d rather just get a game that is already out.
Good, I think it's awesome to reign things in a bit. Buy what you love.
ill just stick to discords and wait for people to upload 3d scans of the models and will print them
Which game?
WHERE THE HECK IS ENORMITY??
Just launched yesterday...I'll see if I can find a way to cover it :)
I love watching your shows but you talk so fast. Only half of what you say is understandable. Take a break from your coffee buddy
I say this out of love for Alex but he's even quicker in a real life conversation lol. It's amazing honestly.
Thanks Alex you're the man
It’s all what you’re used to. I actually listen to these videos at two times speed. What Alex does well is pronounce his words well thus allowing others to understand his faster speeds.
