  • Should you back Deep Regrets the board game over on Kickstarter? Today I'm going to take a deep dive into the game to see if this game is worth your pledge on Kickstarter.
    Check out the campaign here: www.kickstarte...
    Check out the official gameplay video here: • Deep Regrets: How to Play
    Check out my solo playthrough here: • Deep Regrets Solo Play...
    #ad - I received a prototype copy of this game to play before the launch of the campaign. Because of this I have been able to gain insights into this game that I normally wouldn't have and my ability to have a hands on with the game has not only granted me a better understanding of how the game works and the experience you'll have playing it, but by extension has therefore greatly impacted my opinion of the game.

    Great job on offering your feedback on this game. You are now my go-to back or not to back content creator. I do hope you expand to other content types but as you are a smaller channel, I understand that might be hard. Either way keep up the great work and love your transparency!

    Thanks for the solo playthrough - nice done. I'm a backer and I think the feeling of the game is great.

    I’m confused like how do you have it? Why do I have to wait like a full year

      So for clarity I haven’t been paid a dime otherwise as per advertising law here in the U.K. I would be obliged to disclose it.
      I met Judson at U.K. Games Expo this year where he was showcasing the game, I wasn’t able to get a demo but we spoke and I said I was following the campaign as I’d been served some pre-launch ads and it looked interesting. We spoke via email after the expo and he wanted to send out a copy so I could see what the game was like in order to give me thoughts, so he sent out a prototype of the game (that he had been using to demo).
      I’ve had the prototype for two weeks and this morning I’m posting it to another reviewer.
      Again, I’ve not been paid a dime. I’ve marked a paid collaboration on this video because I’ve been sent a prototype (which I am now sending on).
      I’m incredibly transparent about this kind of thing, I think it’s very dangerous to assume money has transferred hands just because I recommended the game. If you watch this channel you’ll know that not every game I mention gets recommended.
      Aside from that if you’ve any questions I’m about whether I’ve been compensated or not I’m more than happy to answer.

    Consumers are confused by crowdfunding because this ad is disguised as a review. This was paid for and made to look good on the kickstarter's main page.

      @@shouldyoubackit Right, but event though you haven't been paid, you still received preferential treatment by getting the game early, you have some positive relationship with the designer, and there is a (however small you believe) social pressure on you to provide a positive review in exchange.
      All that might amount to effectively nothing, but we don't know that.
      Consider a person who has met the designer and received an advance copy in good faith, versus a person who went out and bought the game with their own mony after release.
      You will agree, these situations are not the same.
      FWIW I also backed this game. I like the artwork and there seems to be a nice and accessible push your luck element. I hope I'm not disappointed next March!

      Hey there! So a couple of things, I make sure that anyone who asks me to cover their campaign or who offer to send a game for review recognise and agree that I am not obliged to say anything positive about their game. As such there are some games that haven’t been on the channel because they didn’t want to continue the conversation further. There are other campaigns here on the channel (and some videos I’ve got recorded) where I say I wouldn’t recommend backing the game.
      Again for clarity I am backer #35 for Deep Regrets, I was sent a prototype which I have now sent back.
      I get the argument for ‘you’ve received something therefore your opinion is tainted’ but I think it puts very little faith in the normal humanity of us as creators and the integrity we’re trying hard to build. I know it’s been modelled poorly in the past but for me and this channel I’m doing everything possible to be open and transparent, I declare it verbally in this video too and all I can do is ask you to judge me on my actions as opposed to what other creators have done on the past.
      All I’ll say is hold me to account in that if you ever see me with a game and I haven’t declared it, shout it out.
      I’ll likely do a video and unpack this further but either way i appreciate you sharing your thoughts

      Not sure where you get the idea consumers are confused by crowdfunding? Seems like a very sweeping statement. Also very odd that your accusing someone of trying to be underhanded and declaring this is a paid add. Can't help but feel you have some kind of grudge with the designer / publisher or this channel. I've watched a few vids on this game and there's nothing in this video that stands out as being different to anything said anywhere else. I'd personally agree with 'safe' project comment based on their previous campaigns. Alex Radcliffe also covered this in his most recent to back or not with a similar opinion. I'm not sure someone being lent a game for 2 weeks counts as payment. Also if your assumption is that anyone has been sent a game for review is biased then I'd advise not to watch any crowdfunding reviews - how would anyone ever be able to review it without being sent it? I would say you need to make your own decisions if a game is for you, everyone's tastes different so just because a reviewer likes it doesn't mean you will and vice versa.

      @@ThePhiloctopus You sound very sanctimonious and with righteous anger on behalf of a few. Most of us understand what this video is about , we have our big boy nappies on , and can look after ourselves . You add nothing of value and no additional info we can not see for ourselves. You seem put out that Other People than your esteem self get an early review copy. Wow when did this start to happen , like always. What is the alternative? that would appease you , no previews . Just info on the kickstarter , gamefound page . Being able to play in a digital version?
      Like I said you just sound annoyed just because , you get annoyed easy . We know how to look after ourselves and do due diligence . The Channel here did some , looking at track record, saying his players concern. Personably looks a good quick game, light, doesn't drag a bit of fun, Do I need it , no . Do I have other light games already yes .- does it have a cool social element in the market like an auction or bidding no . So my take good game for someone without such a game , still could be fun if you need a solo game as well . Also i think the cool fish would be great with younger kids, they could create their own games with the different fish even if std paper clips and magnet fishing lines ( probably best sleeved )
