As a Kiwi who lived in South London in the late eighties and nineties ( think east londoners, just as "tough" ) , it's just to test your metal. Stand up for yourself, take no sh*t ,you will do right - be well sorted . Only had some dislike with some west Londoners from certain areas, real bunch of snobby twats . Also don't take rewards that don't belong to ya , no one likes a sneaky little bast'd . Given that like anywhere and nice bunch of people. same as where I grew up in a rough school area, there was a brutal honesty. Was surprised when i went to university how more well off were in more ways deceitful - eg I'll be there to help you on Saturday and don't show. My primary school mates , Nah F off , got better things to do . Plus it you are a nice kind caring respectful person , 95% of people will like you. they may take the piss out of you , but they will genuinely look after you. just have the strength to be yourself
@@BoardGameBollocks Figured that, so didn't get the crap Londoners got when they went north to visit other places . As a kiwi never got the crap Aussies got as well
Happy to hear positive thoughts with this one as I wasn't sure about the initial campaign but took a chance based on the IP and company behind it. Well presented opinions as well, as is usually the case. Thanks!
Got this in last week, and got it to the table yesterday. the game is solid. it was a struggle to learn, but once we got it down, it was a blast. I agree about the rulebook, it was poorly laid out. Could have been condensed a bit. As for set up, once you get the binder built (no where near as intense as ISS Vanguard), it was easy to follow the instructions for zone exploration. The building of the map reminded me of Cthulhu: Death May Die. I agree about the cards, they need to have some bit of texture to keep from sliding on the map. The game play was solid and it did a good job with it's theme and elements. I look forward to continuing the campaign. Cheers.
I had backed originally, then cancelled my pledge when they made core gameplay changes. But I'm glad to hear it's still a good game. I may pickup the core box in retail or second hand. But hearing about the rules and setup makes me glad I passed for now. I have enough games on my shelf shaming me for those same reasons, right now. Haha. Thanks for the review as always!
Exterminator ensemble, poster, and foot‑ball‑sized ZARDOZ 'head' are only exclusive to Kickstarter. Webley revolver not included. When you win, you have to shout 'ZARDOZ' all around your house while wearing the Kickstarter‑exclusive Exterminator ensemble. ☠️
I backed this and something felt off maybe it was a bad taste from Lords of Ragnarok... Anyhow I'm glad you liked it gives me hope I never wasted £300 😆
Stalker is an amazing movie I had no idea based on a short story. Can't wait to read. Great review as always. Given the movie, I can't imagine this will be in anyway approachable for a social game. Not sure which movie reference was better Sir Connery or Robocop. The ultimate demise of that character from Robocop is unparalleled. Verhoeven was a bit ahead of the curve despite some blunders.
Hopefully we'll see another chance in a future campaign to back it. Not convinced they tack this on to other Awaken Realms campaigns in add-on choices...
The only thing that put me off backing was the inclusion of stickers. Did that still make it into the final product? Is this a 1-time legacy game as such?
Please i have question. I want play this game probably alone. It is good just for one player? Other Channel says that optimal experience is with two player Yours opinion please? Thanks
All counts including solo. Obviously time is extended with 4 players but not so much that it becomes a drag. In fact some games progress more quickly due to more actions being available each round.
Any plans to review Andromeda's Edge? Also have you ever tried IV Games's catalogue? Moonrakers, Mythic Mischief, Brink, and their upcoming one Tend are all great fun!
components set up on games like stalker will always be a huge turn off, Because its a sort of game you take a look at your shelf and be like Oh man this game is cool to play..........but setting it up is a pain in the asshole, might aswell just play something light we only got like 2 hours of free time''

I think you are the perfect guy to review Stalker... You look like Strelok from the first Stalker game, Shadow Of Chernobyl.
Thanks 😳
I like you. I'm slightly frightened of you. But I like you.
I couldn't quite put my thumb on how I've always felt about this channel. But this is it. By God, this is it.
I'll wager that in real life he talks like 'enry bleedin' 'iggins.

Thank you for reviewing Stalker, I’ve been wondering about it for a few months.

Upon hearing "geezer out of Robocop"--instant Thumb from me. Cheers.

We smoke a lot of weed when we play too tho the wind sounds are less subtle
Can't wait. I like the film, the book and the game trilogy. Zona isn't bad either

Been waiting for this game to arrive in the mail for a looonnngggg time! We have similar tastes (god help me) so I’m glad you liked it!
I would love to back a ZARDOZ board game!

That Zardoz reference :D

Excellent review, as always. Thanks 👍
massive setup is par for the course for any awaken realms game

Someone was having a wank in the next aisle when I watched showgirls at the cinema…true story
Hopefully we'll see another chance in a future campaign to back it. Not convinced they tack this on to other Awaken Realms campaigns in add-on choices...
Late pledge should be opening back up once Wave 1 is done delivering.
The only thing that put me off backing was the inclusion of stickers. Did that still make it into the final product? Is this a 1-time legacy game as such?
Yes there’s stickers but there’s 3 sets in the box along with 3 maps.
Also maps and stickers are available on retail release
where do we even buy this?
Looks like the breeki wasn't so cheeki, this time.
Ohhh mamá… the flashing Sean Connery
Please i have question. I want play this game probably alone. It is good just for one player? Other Channel says that optimal experience is with two player Yours opinion please? Thanks
I’ve played it solo and it’s great. You get more actions per round by default.
Thanks for the review boss man
At what player count did you play this game? I hear comment about 3-4 players been taking too long.
All counts including solo. Obviously time is extended with 4 players but not so much that it becomes a drag. In fact some games progress more quickly due to more actions being available each round.
@@BoardGameBollocks Thank you for your answer! It help a lot.
Awesome coverage! And no men with painted fingernails. This channel is Majestic!
Thank you
So, about these playthroughs …
I said maybeeeee…
Who’s up at 6am to comment on this
It’s 11am on a Sunday, bruv…
@@BoardGameBollocks ahh, forgot you were, what do they say “across the pond”.
By the way your vids are great…I like and subscribe
👍🏻
I like your no bollocks review!!! Good game explanation… and the video is short and sweet! Well as sweet as you can be… 😜
Typical game to pick up used for 45 quid in 3 years.
I highly doubt that
Good video
Isnt this game real time?
No
I don’t think it’s appropriate to make a board game about stalking. This game should come with a trigger warning.
