    Zee, you are consistently a great pleasure to watch. You have become my absolute favorite person in board game content. I love your humor, and your reviews always feel thoughtful and thorough, without going too long. A+ all day long, dude.

    The game looks awesome but there is just one small thing that bothers me. Why make the letters on the player roles/characters SO big that they bleed into the image of the person ? Make them a bit smaller and put them a little bit to the right so they are just on the orange part of the board. It drives my OCD crazy !

      Hello! My name is Kaity and I was one of the lead play testers on the Atlantis Rising 2nd Edition. The new version does allow players to make the games easier or harder if they like. There are 5 different difficulty levels outlined in the rule book with instructions on how to set up for the different levels.
      Some of the fans of the 1st edition of Atlantis Rising enjoyed how difficult the games was and you can still achieve that challenge if desired. In development, the Elf Creek Team worked with the designers to make it so the game could scaled to be more approachable (and fun!) for gamers not looking for quite the crunch.
      I hope this answers your question!

      Christofil Anciano it’s very possible he just changed his rating of the game since recording this review. But I can’t imagine he recorded this review more than 2 weeks ago, so it’s surprising it changed to a 9 so quickly.

    @holywarriorbear7720 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I find one thing about this game very tedious. That rolling a die for resources mechanic. It's so lucky. The only way you can mitigate the results are by using those super scarce power pebbles. You know, there should be a consolation. I hate situations in games, where by rolling badly, you get absolutely nothing. YOu feel like your entire turn has been wasted. There should always be a less powerful action available if your dice luck is low.

    • @unlimitedrabbit
      @unlimitedrabbit ปีที่แล้ว

      At least they could redo the rules to scoot the washed away Atlanteans to the Mystic Power Source to get a Mystic Energy per Atlantean as a consolation prize. I might house rule that since I played it that way incorrectly the first few times and still lost. I know that this invalidates one of the Library cards but it's a small price to pay to keep this from entering The Night Cage levels of hopelessness.
