    Oh my word - I came to watch this to see if the game would suit our family and in the background our kids were giggling like mad listening to your intro. An encouraging start, as fun is definitely a win!

    The greatest lie of this game is that the cats would stay in the same place

      The manual actually states that the tiles represent the space that a cat would prefer in order to walk around. That's why the tiles can go through walls. Otherwise, these would be some HUGE cats.

    Been looking into this one a lot lately. Seems like the card play gives it a bit more game than, say, Barenpark. Thanks for the review!

    i always like how you compare similar games at the end! Having said that, between this and Kingdomino for family play, which one do you recommend?

    • @3MBG
      @3MBG  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Isle of cats has a family mode, which is a little simpler than what i explained here. So it would work for a family. But if it comes down to budget as well, Kingdomino is a very cheap wee game.

    Hmm.. meah. Still can't see what the fuss is about?! Looked like a simple tetris style game with the card drafting and other scoring mechanics piled on to make it unnecessarily complicated.

    • @3MBG
      @3MBG  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's a fair assessment. I still think with the card drafting and scoring its not that complicated. Its also why i recommended King Domino and Tiny towns at the end of the video for other options.

    • @Rufiy0
      @Rufiy0 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Solo mode is very thinky and puzzly, it's probably even harder compare to normal mode and you have to think a lot more about what to to get as the AI score base on what's on your boat. I really enjoy solo mode for this game.

    it's a really nice puzzle game, but i feel the drafting part is a bit unnecessary. I mean I get why they have the drafting part, but I could've been a faster game without it and it wouldn't really affect the gameplay much

    ? I don't remember medium being a quantity of time? I rate this review medium out of a bunch.

    • @3MBG
      @3MBG  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      The reason for that is my group seems to play games much faster than most, and some people would say "2 hours to play that, you're lying and clearly didn't play the game as it takes 6 hours" and i finally got sick of it.
      So instead of telling those people "it's not my fault you are slow" I generalized the play times.

    Bought it on Kickstarter, played it four times, sold it. Game is too random and too much point salad and also far too long for what it is.

      @3MBG  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Can't say i agree, but i suspect i get why you feel that way. The lessons can feel pretty swingy, but i felt the more i played it, the less random it got. Which is what i mentioned in the review
