@@BoardGameCo - In one of their previous Kickstarters, some people came after the developers in a nasty way. Stupid me came to R2i's defense. I commented that the comments were unnecessary and called for maturity. To my shock, R2i came after *_me_* instead of those who were insulting them. They even tried to get me banned for life from backing any future Kickstarter project. Needless to say, after investigation, Kickstarter sided with me. I still can't believe what happened, and I will never back an R2i project again.
I didn't know where else to post this but I got to say it's weird that go on board is using it your review of the game they're trying to sell right now and at the same time they are using your crowdfunding platform. Not cool.
Appreciate this; unfortunately I didn't realize they were going to combine the video they did. I try to disclaim whenever there is a conflict of interest but as I didn't put together that video they did, I didnt' realize they were presenting it that way.
Modern games just keep getting sillier and sillier, and more ridiculous in an effort to sell bits of plastic, wood and cardboard. I guess thats because actual good games are really hard to design and as a designer, your lucky to have 1 or 2 masterpieces under your belt in your lifetime. Even Uwe Rosenburg, for example, while he has a bunch of okay games he has only 1 true magnum opus, and that's Agricola. Most modern board games have been reduced to little meaningless efficiency puzzles involving a bunch of meaningless actions with a thin theme pasted on and gimmicks like a lazy-Susan for those folks that get seduced by the shiny that need to have every game that comes out.
@@EfrainRiveraJunior lol why? because you cant handle a game that punishes you for poor play and is actually tight and where your decisions have actual consequences?
Fair enough, and I do relate, but I could say the same* about video games, mobile games, books, films, TV shows, songs, cars, or electronic consumer goods - a constant stream of new releases which and mostly doing much the same job as previous items/media. Humans, or modern 'first world' humans at least, seem to have an endless appetite for 'new'. (*A caveat: board games also have a strong collectable element - the 'shelf of shame' - and not all of those other things do.)
@@WhatsDaveUpTo - Agricola fanboys are so predictable. 🤣🤣🤣 There are no other fanboys that get more offended by someone saying the slightest negative thing about a game, than Agricola's. It does make sense when it's from someone who went on a rant because he believes that the reason why gamers who might have a different taste is because they are "easily seduced."
This game looks really gouda and only $50 on KS. Thanks for the video.
😂
As soon as I saw this game I thought it had to brie mine!
Anyone know a good video for the retail v. limited editions?
It’s on BGA in beta now.
Nice!
This is an instaback because I enjoy everything from R2i games, even Globetrotting. Will you be reviewing Globetrotting in the future?
Did you mention a score? If so I missed it! I’m guessing from your review probably 3.5/5?
Yep! 3.5
Omelette du fromage
Omelette au fromage ;)
Hahah Dexter's Lab?!
Dexter!!!!
Was kinda interested in this game, but now I am on a fence. Seems game will have similar ways to victory in game to game.
Keep an eye on the comments on the campaign, the designer is taking loads of ideas on that may end up as stretch goals.
Distilled is a nice game.
I would've backed this game if it wasn't for the way R2i treated me. I will never understand why.
What did they do?

Add to this that Agricola is pure crap.

@@EfrainRiveraJunior you didnt give any valid critiques about it. you just said "it was pure crap"
