I bought this for solo play. Nice game to play at night that is not too brainy. The final map is pretty satisfying. Great review. Very clear and best explanation of the game play
Thanks for this video. I bought this at a board game con (along with its Ships & Shores expansion), and it looks super fun. Looking forward to playing this tomorrow! I also just noticed that you did the Botxop Pinball video I had watched. Keep up the great content!
@@tabletalkreviews will do! Doubt I'll play it tomorrow, but I'll come back to you. But the guy at the shop told me that it takes the game to the next level, and adds more depth to it
I got them custom made. I found a canvas printing company and used tile art from various board games I like. I think I used Canvas Champ, or I at least checked their prices and now get spam mail from them.
@@tabletalkreviews Thank you so much for the information! I appreciate the quick response. I'll definitely price around. Did you just give the canvas printing store the actual tiles in person or did you just take a high resolution pic of each tile and uploaded it all online?
@@renees5672 I was able to find images online, they weren't all very high resolution, so some don't look super good close up. I can't remember if I photoshopped the edges or if their software did that. I think you can choose between coloured edges or mirror the image. I wanted the image in case it wasn't perfectly aligned on the frame.
If you are willing to do a little work yourself, a cheaper way is to buy canvases from a dollar store and mod podge images onto them. I did this to make little comic books for the wall.
Cool review! I didn't espect much in the beginning, but the game seems very fun. I was a bit confused in the beginning, since you didn't mention it was cooperative until later in the video. Also, doesn't adding the additional tiles make the game easier, since you would automatically gain more points? It seems like it would make more sense to first remove the same number of tiles before adding them in.
Oh you are right, I totally forgot to mention it was cooperative upfront. I was filming super late to avoid traffic noise and yet there was still tons of traffic. There are separate scoring tiers for when playing with 1 expansion or with both. So they increase how many points are needed to do well.
Yes it is. Different tile order creates a new "puzzle" every game and the number of directions you can spread out in varies based on player count. Two mini expansions are included as well, so you can add 1 or both in for 4 different possible sets of tiles to play with.

The solo play is very chill. The best solo games are ones like this, where they is almost no setup.

Thanks for the kind words. Always happy to help teach people great games. Let me know how the Beacon Patrol expansion is, I haven't played that yet.

Thank you for this great explanatory video of our little game and your honest review
So great to see you having fun with it ☺
Thanks for creating a fun game for us to play!
Where did you get those awesome wall tiles!?
I custom ordered them from a canvas print company. I don’t remember the specific one I used, but there are many out there.
Thank you for making this informative video!
I love the board game art hanging on your wall. Can you please share where you purchased it? Ty!

@@tabletalkreviews Thank you for all the helpful information! I'm excited to try making these canvases.
I'll post a pic when I get them done. Ty!

@@tabletalkreviews Yeah, though I got it pretty fast. So no big deal. ^^
Adding different scoring for the expansions makes sense.
Looks very nice
The art is very pleasant
Is this replayable? Thanks
