Huge fan of this game and have also pledged the 2nd edition. This is a narrative machine and produces many cheering, moaning and laughing-out-loud moments. Love your idea with the faction summary sheet - I need to do that when I get the new edition.
I just played this yesterday. I do wish it was a little more challenging solo, but I agree with everything you said about the emergent stories and adventure. I love this game.
This is the type of game I find most enjoyable…Games with emergent stories are really the most engrossing. I want a loose objective and then for my gameplay to flesh out how the story gets told!
Just played this. Wow. What a pleasant surprise from such a little box! My party got wiped when they were messing with an unexploded ICBM! So much fun! This game is unforgiving. The victory points and prestige never got above +4 for 6 turns. Still had lots of fun though!
As usual mate another great review that leaves me with the inevitable feeling wanting a copy for myself now 😀 👍 Looks great and I love a huge card collection in games as i feel it adds a nice physical element rather than pen and paper recording
While the gameboard is dull looking, those awesome in-depth character cards and gear cards make this game worth checking out--not enough gear or gear variation is a limiting downer in games. As for the art, I own Dark Darker Darkest, and I enjoy independent art in games which are unique. I have a small allowance for board games, but Fallen Land is now on my list--I'm afraid of loving it more than Fallout Boardgame which is a favorite, LOL! Thank you for reviewing this really cool game, Daniel!
I have got into both! I have all 3 kickstarters but this will be a great all in one box experience. Love brimstone but there is way too much content haha
For me, shelf space is more important, because I have a very small house and a very small room to keep my games. I want all of my games to be in the smallest box possible.
I’m a massive fan of this truly great game . Own first edition but pledged for everything in second edition . The stories on the cards are insane, often hilarious and always fun. Just a terrific experience
Loll The wannabe bad ass all suit up in a armor with a shotgun is actually a real badass! Thanks for the review! Never heard of that game before but its really my kind of game!
Also eagerly awaiting the new edition. The amount of written content in this game is amazing - it's like a giant novel in board game form. From the moment you assemble your party of survivors, my mind is already wondering what's going to happen...
After debating between this, _Posthuman Saga,_ and _Waste Knights 2E,_ I decided to put in a last-minute late pledge for Fallen Land's upcoming 2nd edition + Descendants Expansion. Your videos on WK and FL were a help in navigating the choice. Thanks! (I might have gone for Zona but copies are scarce... I'm on a post-apocalyptic kick). Are you think you might pick up the Descendants expansion and/or the 2E upgrade kit?
When you said that first character's name was "Chad", I just burst out laughing. Not sure why, maybe cause I couldn't remember a game of any kind I've played where a character was named Chad. That does it next character I make in a TTRPG will be named Chad.
Fallen Land 2e is just starting to deliver, certainly here in the UK. Looks like the new 2e box is huge so at 09:24 when you talk about your hopes that 2nd Edition isn't too much bigger and that, "the map isn't bigger" 😬 are quite poignant. I know the neoprene mat is way larger than the board map so I think a lot of folk might struggle to get the neoprene version to fit on a table; I know I might! However, first impressions of 2e are coming in and looking good 👍
Hi Daniel - love your content. Just pledged for the 2nd edition after watching this! After reading the rules and seeing your overview, that spreadsheet you made looks like a great idea for tracking. Any chance you could share it in the files section of bgg? (I know there is an app, but I like the old school approach).
Unfortunately I don't really do let's plays, especially for games like this with a lot of rules. I make too many mistakes, and then people just complain about the mistakes. :) I just don't have any fun playing games on camera like that. Not my forte. There are people out there who are way better at it than I am!
@@TheDungeonDive Fair enough! I get that. Second editions map will be slightly bigger (including Canada and Mexico) but at least this new version comes with a card and token tray to keep everything nice and clean.
I mean come on, a game with this many cards, loot and gear it’s halfway there to being a good game for me. I bought this game and had to get it from the US as well as future expansions. So I must like it as it cost me a fortune living in the UK. They are a proper Indi company. I reached out to them for promo cards which they kindly sent FOC. In return I asked them to send extra so I could distribute out UK & EU fans of the game.
I have the 2 main expansions for this. There was meant to be a 3rd main expansion I think named 'Caravans & Exiles' in 2020 but it never got released I think. Anyone know anything about it ?
...wow... *years* ago I decided to pass on 1e since the second edition seemed right around the corner... Well that was then and today finally I bit the bullet and just picked up 1e with expansion for a reasonable used game price. Nice little 4 year detour ahah...
yea this looks great, went back and forth on backing. looks like a simpler and more old school version of fallout!and i love the art too! so much game art falls into a type trap, getting boring
Great content, but I don't understand the worry about this becoming a large box with lots of content. If this game is so good, give me more content. That would be the least of my worries.
I have a very, very, very small room with not a lot of space for games. So size is one of my main concerns. It's something I talk about on the channel frequently. Maybe that's not an issue for you, if so, you are blessed!

When did you pledge? i want to but i’m not sure if it will process now?

I"m waiting for the game. I ordered it on KS. I think it will be a huge adventure! I have been waiting for months!!!
Never heard about that one , ty for showing us this "
I'm with you on the art. It seems like it goes perfectly with the theme of this game
Another 2nd Ed pledger, here. Thanks for posting this vid! It will help while I wait for delivery.
Can’t wait for the new stuff!

It’s such a wild game.

If I wasn't already getting into Shadows of Brimstone I would be playing this one. It's definitely going on my wish list for sure 😃
I have got into both! I have all 3 kickstarters but this will be a great all in one box experience. Love brimstone but there is way too much content haha
The big box will only make it easier to get to the table. its full of removable trays and all the components are all set up in seconds!
For me, shelf space is more important, because I have a very small house and a very small room to keep my games. I want all of my games to be in the smallest box possible.

Couldn't agree more!

Totally! The anticipation for adventure in this game is off the charts good.
Can't wait for 2nd edition to deliver! I think this is one perfect for homebrew as well!

You made the right choice! I was a backer for the new stuff.
I would buy this game mainly because of the art.

Yeah I saw the new box. Ugh.
Hey Daniel. Did you know that there is a fallen land app. Super handy to manage all your roll stats.

Would love to see some playthrough videos on Fallen Land from your perspective.
There are a handful on TH-cam!
@@TheDungeonDive I know, I've seen some, but from your perspective and with your excitement I think it'll be the better of the lot.

That sheet looks great, would you consider uploading it to BGG?
I submitted it a couple of days ago.
