she got a lot of "lose 1 wound"s but she NEVER moved the wound token and he never warned her. literally she is just at max wounds and they just said 30 seconds ago that she should lose 1 wound and neither of them questions her being at the max wounds. I'm at 1:30:00 and it's very bad for OCD persons Still, thank you for the effort of shooting this video with such high quality and with a friendly attitude. it's really enjoyable.
Watching the video I was like "Wait a minute, I thought he went after all players take their turn"? Had to look that up and yeah, was happy to see I was correct. If TMIB went after every player he would WRECK them. lol
Great playthrough and review! It's so awesome to have you guys back! I really liked your ideas for possible expansion items and tweaks, especially the MIB. I can't wait to get this game to the table.
First I got to play my friend's KS copy with him two weekends ago. Loved it. Then I got to watch (briefly) Cartman, Kenny, Kyle, and Stan play the game. Then I got to watch you two play the game. I think this game is gonna be more popular than the KS let on.
Thanks for a thorough playthrough. It seemed like you both enjoyed WL much, I'm still waiting for mine example to show up. I needed a sandbox western themed game, so I'm glad.
Thank you for this fun playthrough and review. I'm just now paying attention to this game thanks to the current Big Box Kickstarter. Regarding the competitiveness of the Man In Black: why not just say that if he reaches the LP goal before the players, he wins, goals or no goals.
To remove downtime I am going to try the variant where all players put 3 action cubes of their color each in a bag and after taking a single action you pull a cube from the bag and that person gets to go (if you move to a location you take that location action immediately). There is a reason we can't all take one action each as players turns can be ruined everytime knowing the next person is going to mess with your plans... but the randomness of the bag means they might.. like in real life. But the downtime can be brutal in a 4-6 player game if you just time how long each person takes to do 3 actions. It was even hard to watch on this playthrough at times.
Great playthrough as always! I came to watch this playthrough because I am picking this game up this week. I've heard a lot of criticism towards this game at 2 players. I was hoping that the game is at least FUN at 2 players. Considering that both of you enjoyed the game without any mention of a negative towards the 2 player experience, confirms that it is a lot of fun!
I think people exaggerate the two player experience. I play primarily two player, and this is great. Yes, I feel like it would be fun with 4, but it's not "broken" at 2 like so many seem to say.
@@BobLee-df4zh I completely agree. Since I got the game I have played it at 2 players, 4 players, and 5 players. I had fun at all player counts and would gladly play it at 2 players again. From my experience, 5 players was the least enjoyable for me. It was probably my group, but the game DRAGGED. It was just too much .
if your handsize is 4 and you discard down to 4, on the start of your next turn can you then draw any poker cards as of you starting turn options? i played with you can have as many cards you like when its your turn but need to discard down att the end of your turn, and is there a diffrence between gaining poker cards and drawing poker cards towards your hand size?
You should. Waste knights already exists and is already available. They are planning on releasing a 2nd edition soon which will be on kickstarter. Prior to the 2nd edition I was already interested, but with a 2nd edition I am definitely interested. Just have to wait and see I guess.
Nice overview of the game. I skipped this kickstarter because of the reasons Anthony mentioned, conflict heavy etc. Glad to see that it seems to be not the case and you enjoy it so much.
I really enjoyed watching this video - it looks so much fun! This made me buy the game and i'm really looking forward to play it! I hope everything is fine with you two and that you are staying healthy and safe. Best regards.
Pliability is of the charts is good way to begin, the ways to play the game is number two of my favorite thing to hear , and the art is unique and good drawn and lot reading information is like you made this game sells for me , very nicely done!
In the top right corner of screen @2:51 you have a red seemingly plastic box with dividers. what is this and where did you get it? I have seen this in several of your videos and really like the flex it has to hold tokens!
Great play through as always ... Thinking of picking this one up... Note I say this in a playful way but I think this play through could make for a fun drinking game for every time Frances says "you know" or "you know what I mean" :) .. they are fun to watch as a team I've yet to find a video I've disliked so far.
Well, last time I complimented you guys on how nice, warm, and contrasty the camera angle of you too looked. Unfortunately, this time that look is gone, and now you guys look a little too bright and almost washed out. Sorry, color correction is my job, so I notice these things. I REALLY liked the look in the Brass video. Either way, great video playthrough again! I love this game!
LarkinVB That may be the case, but he doesn’t score enough points to be competitive unless he goes after each player. I think of it as a difficulty modifier. It’s really up to you how you choose to implement the Man in Black.
Maybe give him twice as many points per successful action? Or even 2 actions in row? Might be easier to keep track. I'm not sure they gave him all his turns in the play-through.
The letter board in the background.... "Never look down..." isn't this quote from Jesse Jackson (not J. James)? I didn't watch the entire video so I'm not sure if this was a joke given the western theme?
After searching the webs, it seems that this quote is often wrongly attributed to Jesse James, perhaps because he was thought to be a "robin hood" like figure (although there is no evidence that he shared any of his loot). But its actually a paraphrase of a quote from a Jesse Jackson speech. www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/jesse/speeches/jesse88speech.html
att 1:20:00 ich when she arrested you , when loosing a fight you take a wound and draw a poker card, so you should have had one more poker card when the MIB came for you,
Tere are some strategies that are more luck based. Or can seem that way. If you go Outlaw, than you are going to have to deal with the poker cards you are dealt. If you are dealt lower cards it might be harder to win fights, making it easier for other players or the sheriff to arrest you.
Also the event/story cards may give you a better benefit than another one did to another player, or some might hurt you if you didn't contribute. But it really isn't that debilitating. In my opinion it is not super luck based. But I have only played once. Those are my initial thoughts. Hope it helps.
So,,,, that lighting. I almost went blind. Sounds like it was raining over yonder. Ha, your sign changed in the background. This theme is absolutely a US thing.
Everyone has different tastes. We've always had the same approach: if the game is not fun for us we don't film a playthrough. We have too many games and not enough time to cover them all unfortunately.
I see that explains a lot. So basically all the games on your channel at least the review one (I am guessing previews are paid for correct?) are the games you like. In this case, would you consider maybe giving an indication in the end to just how much you like it like a score or some general stuff like GOOD game VERY GOOD, AMAZING... Anything basically that we can go by on?
Loki Hve Our review discussions provide viewers with our thoughts. We no longer give a rating as we do not want to categorize a game’s perceived quality with a word. Our playthrough and thoughts should hopefully be enough for viewers to make up their own minds about a game. Our previews are only labeled differently as they are done with prototype copies of the games, usually before they’ve been released. That’s the only difference. And no, we don’t get paid for anything we do with board games.
I really wanted to like this game, but unless you have 5 players who love the sandbox Old Western theme, it plays kinda meh. Plus it has multiple female characters but only one female mini. Poor form.
12:10 FYI - a player may only have one copy of each item in the general store
she got a lot of "lose 1 wound"s but she NEVER moved the wound token and he never warned her. literally she is just at max wounds and they just said 30 seconds ago that she should lose 1 wound and neither of them questions her being at the max wounds. I'm at 1:30:00 and it's very bad for OCD persons
Still, thank you for the effort of shooting this video with such high quality and with a friendly attitude. it's really enjoyable.
This looked so fun, loved Frances’ laugh when she was making the arrest 😂
So glad to see this! We backed this game on KS and havent had a chance to play it yet. Thanks for the coverage!
The Man In Black goes after ALL players have had a turn AND you cannot have 2 of the same item at any one time.
Watching the video I was like "Wait a minute, I thought he went after all players take their turn"? Had to look that up and yeah, was happy to see I was correct. If TMIB went after every player he would WRECK them. lol
Loving the new set, lighting, and branding props. Well done. 👍
Great playthrough and review! It's so awesome to have you guys back! I really liked your ideas for possible expansion items and tweaks, especially the MIB. I can't wait to get this game to the table.
Thanks. This looks like fun, win or lose. Which to me makes a really good game. Wonderful job, as always.
This is a great game. I played it with 2 other people the other day. We were shocked how close the score was in the end.
Thanks for the playthrough of this game! I'm looking forward to playing this game in the next couple of weeks.
First I got to play my friend's KS copy with him two weekends ago. Loved it. Then I got to watch (briefly) Cartman, Kenny, Kyle, and Stan play the game. Then I got to watch you two play the game. I think this game is gonna be more popular than the KS let on.
Great gameplay guys. Thanks for posting.
Thank you!

any chance of a new playtrough of Nemesis! now that the rulebook is final. id love to see a new updated rule run
+1 Yessss
If and when we get our hands on the final version of the game...just might happen.
French designer, but as far as I know, it haven't even arrived at European shores yet :(
I'm really looking forward to finally get my KS copy!
Great playthrough and review!

I think Frances should be in control of shuffling the decks. A bit to much top decking if you ask me.
I am late to the party but you guys should check out Xia or Merchants & Marauders. Two other great sandbox games!
I'm trying to learn how to play this game. How do you know how many poker cards you're supposed to have?
if your handsize is 4 and you discard down to 4, on the start of your next turn can you then draw any poker cards as of you starting turn options? i played with you can have as many cards you like when its your turn but need to discard down att the end of your turn, and is there a diffrence between gaining poker cards and drawing poker cards towards your hand size?
What's the red and black component holder thing on the side of the game board
You should probably try out merchants and marauders with or without the expansion.
What about waste knights 2nd edition?
You should. Waste knights already exists and is already available. They are planning on releasing a 2nd edition soon which will be on kickstarter. Prior to the 2nd edition I was already interested, but with a 2nd edition I am definitely interested. Just have to wait and see I guess.
Heyy guys big fan
What are your top 10 games in terms of theme ??
Nice overview of the game. I skipped this kickstarter because of the reasons Anthony mentioned, conflict heavy etc. Glad to see that it seems to be not the case and you enjoy it so much.
well it very thematically and some people didn't like it just because of that .
I really enjoyed watching this video - it looks so much fun! This made me buy the game and i'm really looking forward to play it! I hope everything is fine with you two and that you are staying healthy and safe. Best regards.
Although there were a few misplays throughout the play through it wasn't bad. Love this game myself.
Pliability is of the charts is good way to begin, the ways to play the game is number two of my favorite thing to hear , and the art is unique and good drawn and lot reading information is like you made this game sells for me , very nicely done!
Just got this today :), nice seeing the playthrough, also, where are you guys? hope you are ok! :)
In the top right corner of screen @2:51 you have a red seemingly plastic box with dividers. what is this and where did you get it? I have seen this in several of your videos and really like the flex it has to hold tokens!

Seems like a lot of analysis paralysis. I was considering playing with 6 players, but that would probably take too long. Nice play through guys!
And you probably should watch out for the waste knight 2nd edition as well.
Like the slogan on the war behind Francis, still thinking about the game. Hmm
Great play through as always ... Thinking of picking this one up... Note I say this in a playful way but I think this play through could make for a fun drinking game for every time Frances says "you know" or "you know what I mean" :) .. they are fun to watch as a team I've yet to find a video I've disliked so far.
Is that a quote from Jennifer James on the wall?
Seems like it scales well?
I like the aphorism from J. James in the back. Will you make a New one for each Video? That would be a nice touch, which it is already anyways.
Well, last time I complimented you guys on how nice, warm, and contrasty the camera angle of you too looked. Unfortunately, this time that look is gone, and now you guys look a little too bright and almost washed out. Sorry, color correction is my job, so I notice these things. I REALLY liked the look in the Brass video. Either way, great video playthrough again! I love this game!
Scotty Cross Yes, I noticed this during the edit, but it was too late to do anything about it. Will address in the next video...which is Escape Plan.
Are u guys planing on playing the expasion
Sounds like a fun game. Count me in!
Replace the money with poker chips for more theme!
poker chips in the wild west? I think that'd be even less thematic
ulysses2711 There were eventually poker chips in saloons, but to each their own. To me it feels cooler than the miniature money cards.
Except that poker chips were never used as legal currency.
@@bgm-1961 Poker cards weren't used as action cards either...
I have done exactly that, poker chips are far better
According to BGG Travis from Kolossal confirmed that the man in black only goes after both players and not after each player.
LarkinVB That may be the case, but he doesn’t score enough points to be competitive unless he goes after each player. I think of it as a difficulty modifier. It’s really up to you how you choose to implement the Man in Black.
I agree. I just wanted to point out that the official rule is different. I will play your way too.
Hmm... the rules that come with the man in black specifically says, "after each player's turn". Did Travis do an online errata, then?
Maybe give him twice as many points per successful action? Or even 2 actions in row? Might be easier to keep track. I'm not sure they gave him all his turns in the play-through.
The letter board in the background.... "Never look down..." isn't this quote from Jesse Jackson (not J. James)? I didn't watch the entire video so I'm not sure if this was a joke given the western theme?
After searching the webs, it seems that this quote is often wrongly attributed to Jesse James, perhaps because he was thought to be a "robin hood" like figure (although there is no evidence that he shared any of his loot). But its actually a paraphrase of a quote from a Jesse Jackson speech.
www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/jesse/speeches/jesse88speech.html
Ahh very possible! Can't believe everything we read on the internet, but yes, our quote was intended to fit the theme.
Xia reminds me of this game.
att 1:20:00 ich when she arrested you , when loosing a fight you take a wound and draw a poker card, so you should have had one more poker card when the MIB came for you,
Did it come with the money/token holder?
Yes
Thanks, I should have made it all the way through the video before asking :)
unless you mean the one in the top right - that's this

How much luck does it have?

Bandito? Twenty one pilots reference 😂😂
"Three stupid points" Lol
Man your hair looks normal today... what happened? :-)
