I just went "all in" about a month ago and picked up two core sets and all 17 expansions based on price and the recommendation of our FLGS owner. Took me about 10 hours to find out if I even liked the game. Now I am in love with it and have been playing regularly with my spouse, opening a new pack every couple of games. In the end, I did find this more enjoyable than the Netrunner LCG.
Yeah, it is a complicated game, but when you 'get it'..... there is no better :D
Fucking hell how much did that cost?
Daniel McDevitt i just went all in too...ebay has some good deals. Now i need to find people to play with lol. It cost me $90 on ebay, plus the purchase of a second core for $15
I really love this game and was sad when it stopped the first time. Then it started back up, still great, then is stopped again.
Thank you shut up and sit down for making me cry once again.
Doomtown: Reloaded has a ton of expansions (maybe more than 20), you don't need them all, but they offer a ton of variety.
2021 Doomtown is still in print...
Rewatched this the other day and, on a whim, added DT:R to my BGG wishlist. The next day someone offered it up in exchange for Elder Sign. I'll have it later this week! Thanks, Quinns.
0:34 Hey! It's Baki from the Istanbul review!
You had me at Bobo the psychotic clown...
I wish netrunner had the kind of following you talk about in my area . Ive always enjoyed the game but trying to get people to stop playing mtg to play another card game is difficult.
New Core Set Kickstarter Dropped RIGHT NOW
DriveThruCards now sells well made starter decks for all six factions.
New sets have been announced! This game is not dead!
The Doomtown combat article mentioned in the video: www.shutupandsitdown.com/holy-cow-doomtown-pretty-neat/
I really tried with netrunner. I mean... I hate to admit it... but I hate it soooooooo much. I am still trying. Now doomtown... I just fell it love with it. I played only one match and this is one of my favorite card games.
Doomtown never dies, it just gets Harrowed.
I've been playing Doomtown since the 90's. It's alwsys been a fantastic game. I would have taken the plunge were it not for how much I sank in the original release.
I absolutely agree about The Good, The Bad and The Ugly’s final shootout scene - the build and anticipation as Ennio Morricone’s ‘The Trio’ is playing. But that scene is made all the better for its proceeding scene of The Ugly running dizzily and elatedly around the grave site, set to the incredible tune ‘The Ecstasy Of Gold’ - these two scenes are my favourite one and two punch in all of cinema.
This review made me finally buy Netrunner.
Ahh, you went with peer preassure and not game quality then ? ;)
This game fired Netrunner for me and I never looked back, despite having NR as a favorite game since -96.
Doomtown:Reloaded is sadly underrated. Great game! However, I think Netrunner was a lot harder to learn than D:R.
Thanks for the review. I saw this game was discontinued, but I picked up a cheap copy today at a used game store anyway. Really looking forward to diving into the complexity.
Not discontinued! AEG let it go, but Pinnical the owners, formed Pine Box Entertainment to keep it going. They did a KS for a big box storage and have a big expansion coming out in early 2019. Game is still alive and kickin'.
Did you like it? Is it worth $15? I found someone selling a used copy
Doomtown has lots of expansions, however sadly AEG is no longer supporting the game. Which is typical for them.
Correct, AEG is out. But luckily the actual owners PEG will continue supporting and releasing so... all is good :D
Hey there’s that guy from the Istanbul episode
If you like cowboys and Descent was your favorite game, how have you not reviewed Shadows of Brimstone?
1:26 all the descent in the background
I had to stop the video because you talked about Netrunner too much, and now I want to play it so I had to find a place to play it online. I promise, I'll come back.
I love Doomtown, I just find it hard to get into the new version. I find it hard to buy even in the new model for TCGs. I bought the base set and played it a couple times, and then I bought the first couple expansion pack things, and they just didn't feel that exciting. And one would think that for all the rulebook and new presentation, the movement around the board still manages to be one of the most confusing things, and things like adjacency and noon jobs should be a lot clearer than they were in the base set.
I appreciate some of the revisions, while others, I'm not so sure about. And then I stopped, waiting for the new factions to be release. Then they were and I just haven't gotten a chance to really dig back into the new version of Doomtown.
The shootout mechanics are easily some of the best, most fun elements, and it was in its time one of the best multiplayer games I ever played. But the complications of the game make it hard to introduce new players, unless they are already pre disposed to the TCG style games, like Netrunner, magic, etc.
This is just Deadlands(RPG), the card game. ... Which is not a bad thing.
A new kickstarter is up for the next base set. You really ignored the fiction that makes this game amazing. Been messing around with this game since 1998.
I've seen more organised play kits for Doomtown than I have people actually playing it.
And here I have a horde of people who are playing, but have seen only one organised play kit.
I guess it is all about geography, huh? :D
Where's the link to the article regarding combat? Sounds like a good read!
It’s Malifaux, innit?
I love how at 3:24 the bottom of the box is sliding into the top part with a little "plop" noise, as if in protest of Quinns calling the game "obtuse".
What kind of deck books are you running there? They look nice
The next decade comment is a little sad now that they've stop expanding it
Yeah, they struggled in the competition with Android: Netrunner and the FFG LCGs like Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings.
Personally I am holding out for the Legend of the Five Rings LCG whenever it comes out.
I know they have stopped expanding it the base game can be found cheap but not all of the expansions can now be easily found. Have they stated that there will never be another print run ever again ? a Deluxe big box would be nice but I know that will never happen.
PEG who own the rights to DT:R actually announced during their Deadlands kickstarter that Doomtown will be continued with another company. So more hiatus than cancelled since their deal with AEG ended. www.kickstarter.com/projects/545820095/deadlands-good-intentions/posts/1809097
A return has been announced, so it's all good :)
www.kickstarter.com/projects/545820095/deadlands-classic-20th-anniversary-edition/posts/1809098
that's good news.
I loved the combat, and I loved TRYING to out-maneuver my opponents...
but the movement is just awful. does the movement make sense at a high level of play?
Very much so. I would say it is 60% of the game. You get to a point where it all clicks into place and the game opens up - and then you can focus on refining your tactics. I would say that this is a boardgame of area control.
lol, a dinosaur that lives on the internet. Poor Chaos Theory--if Quinns is still involved in the game, he's probably aware that her fate (and said dinosaur's fate) has taken a turn for the worse.
SHE IS VERY HAPPY AND BOTH OF HER DADS ARE FINE AND EVERYTHING IS OKAY.
I used to play the original TCG back in the days, great game!
Poor sad skeletons, now lost to the land of former greats.
_in the arms of and angel..._
if you like the deck building in this game, you will like Calculords.
Wait wait wait ... Netrunner has Digimon?
so basically savage worlds deadlands but a card game
huge fan of netrunner. Just tried the core set of doomtown and me and my opponent gave up trying to understand the game on the second round. The cards just don't make sense to us at all.
Yes Quinns... IT IS.
I’ll give it a go after this video!
Doing the dirty is the best part of this game.
Hey there is a RPG in that same setting
Deadlands!
So does anyone know when they have these games nights at the pub? I'd love to come down and learn about these games before indulging in purchasing one of them.
This video is a few years old, but we still do Tuesday nights at the Old Thamesside pub near London Bridge - London City Grid on Facebook for more info!
Thanks for the info. I'm from Essex so it's not too far to travel and if I can ever plan it around work I'll definitely pop down one night.
Netrunner by a mile
"as this game grows in the next few years, or even the next decade"
Pretty sure this game died in the first year... Looked and no one plays this game.
It's pretty niche, but there are still saddlebags and expansions being produced. Not a lot of players, true, but not dead (yet).
Not dead yet. Not widely played but still has new sets coming out. More alive than net runner.
still has conventions and announced a new expansion two weeks ago
Saw some folks playing at my LGS last night, checked this video out to see what it was all about. Looks alright! Not sure I'll pick it up though.
I'm confused. Everything about this game got me excited. I love the theme, love anything western. But Martin is right, it's already been cancelled, they're not making anymore. How disappointing.
The people who own the deadlands property has announced a re-revival of the game :)
Cool. Such a roller coaster of excitement and disappointment this morning. And its only 10.30.
That means that the old AEG stuff is really like an old edition already. ... should be going real cheap then....
No. Just been looking. Pinnacle are offering the entire bundle for $309 with promises that more expansions are on the way. In that sense it will be just a 6 month gap or so since AEG's last release.
that bundle is only for customers in the U.S. though !!!
Me, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in magic the gathering: netrunner sounds cheap lol
netrunner was a great game, it was asymmetrical, complex and yeah cheap....it was a great time, shame they dont continue the license
This really hasnt aged well....
When talking about LCGs, I think it's important for the review to compare with traditional CCGs. Why should one invest time / money into Netrunner or Doomtown as opposed to Magic or Hearthstone?
Relatedly, in general I think it's fine to review most board games as if digital competitors don't exist, but with CCGs/LCGs specifically, Hearthstone is such a dominant presence, I feel it's remiss not to address it.
I liked this game but one or two of the starter decks were really, REALLY bad. So bad my brother didn't want to play it anymore.
This game is getting a Kickstarter right now! :D
So Doomtown sounds a lot like Deadlands (I'm only 3 minutes in, so...)
That is because it is based on the Deadlands RPG
Netrunner. Oof.
yeah this video kinda aged poorly for both games....
Doomtown is bloody brilliant and the strategy is even more prevalent and appreciated after playing MTG:P
eyebrows?
I’ve played neither this nor Netrunner, but “a dinosaur that lives on the internet” unquestionably makes Netrunner the objectively superior game.
So coming to this video 3 years after published I look at both netrunner and doomtown and think "Fuck that." Same, unfortunately with (I believe) Fantasy Flights Lord of the Rings LCG. I'm definitely DEFINITLY in the camp living card games are just better for the consumer/player than collectable card games. But it always feels like if you're not there at the start, or at least no more than one maybe two expansions in, you've just missed the train.
Flipside is, every now and then, as in every few years, a friend and I will buy a magic the gathering starter deck each, play for a few months enjoy it and then get bored and pack it away. LCG's don't seem as easy to 'drop in' to as CCG's.
Never have I bounced so hard off of a game. Not into LCGs and this seems like an extremely obtuse one to do introduce it.
Wow. This sounded really cool until the poker hands were described.
actually, that is the BEST part of the game.
poker is both thematic to the wild west, and matches the feel of a shootout.
in both poker and a shootout, you posture, and bluff and prepare, and maybe bail out, or maybe THERE IS AN EXPLOSION OF ACTION when you reveal.
Those hands of poker have the same tension as a shootout.
That said, I was underwhelmed by the entire rest of the game. Moving was so cumbersome and finicky.
Yep, that's where the game really starts to shine! Probably the best game I have ever played.
I felt the opposite. Having shootouts via poker hands was way more engaging than simple attack/defense numbers like most card games
this game STINNNKKKKKSSS
First.👍
This review is a godsend for anyone trying to look into the game. Yes, this is a necro-bump.
I'm buying 2 copies immediately.
