Thank you Christopher that is really lovely feedback! Glad to have you here!! You must be a fan of dry mid-heavy euros ☺☺ appreciate you taking the time to comment.
Congratulations! This video just showed up as the video of the week in my "Geek Weekly" update from BGG. Great to see your wonderful videos getting out to a widening audience! Well deserved!
Ladies, the Big Box is coming out this year. Will you do a playthrough?? I loved your playthrough of Wingspan Asia! I know you love this game, watching you do a playthrough would be awesome!
Great to have you here Crystal! Thank you for the lovely feedback and taking the time to comment. Please let us know what you think of Nusfjord once you've had a chance to play! Happy holidays!
Just when I think I've purchased my last Uwe game, another one goes on my radar.. particularly since the Big Box is being released. Thanks for the video!
First time I've ever seen this channel, and already subscribed. Great presentation! Looking forward to checking out more videos. Thanks for making them!
Thanks ladies, I really needed this today. In the US it is Election day, and TH-cam and your video is helping me skip some of the drama. I voted early. I skipped over this game a few years ago but watching your review it looks great, very interesting choices. I am not a fan of games with lots of negative points, but can get past that if I can finish game with enough points to be a positive score when done. Thanks for video.
We are glad we could provide some distraction, even if for a few minutes. There are not too many negative points in this game, it's more a mild annoyance than a stressful key element like in Feast. Stay safe and well today.
Thanks for the recommendation for this game. Nice review! I typically like Uwe Rosenberg games (although I've only played a few). This one looks great (nice & quick but has depth) & glad to hear it's good with 2 players. Cheers!
You're so welcome Bill! Glad it appealed to you. Yes when Uwe gets it right he really gets it right!!! We are a big fan of his as well. Although Maggie vowed on a live stream to play all of his games this year. Before finding out there were hundreds. And so far she's played.... 1 new one. So it's not looking good. 🤣
I love this game as well! If somebody asked me for the most underrated game I always come back to this. I mean a BGG 7.6 is surely not bad, but considering how well Uwe managed to squeeze the quintessence of a tight worker placement with huge variety into a 45 minute game with 2 players is simply brilliant.
Yes couldn't agree more! AND to top it all off it is so easy to set up. There needs to be more games like this! Thanks for watching Johannes and taking the time to comment 😊
This one was high on my radar due to its popularity in the solo world, but to hear it's also fantastic at 2 just sold me on it! Fingers crossed for Black Friday deals. 😊
It's a good one because the set up is so quick which can be a real barrier when thinking about getting a whole euro out when it's just Maggie and I. It is a good tight little battle... and Maggie plays it lots solo but more on that soon!!! ☺
Thanks for the video. This reminds me that I still haven’t played with the Plaice Deck... Plus, I had no idea that there is a Salmon Deck coming out! Who knew you would enjoy a game about fishing... 😂🤣😂 I think the fisheeples (? - sounds like fish sheep), uhhhhh fishples (? - sounds even worse) are cute too.
Hahaha fishples... yes they are super cute! At least get the coins out of the Plaice Deck 😅 what's your favourite Uwe by the way? Assume you own all of them 😁💕
hey gals! congrats on your video. I came here from BGG. Great job! I'm curious to know though why the constant comparison with Grand Austria Hotel? they are very different games, although I would say that GAH can be even more tense because you are always restricted by only fulfilling 2 actions, and that prestige track can be a pain! That said though, I love Nusfjord. I also mostly play at 2 with my partner and this is one of our top Uwe's. This and Glassroad are a treat to play because they play so quick and always leave you feeling that you needed one more round to accomplish all your dreams :) A feast for odin is one that I mostly play solo because my partner doesn't enjoy as much :/ Looking forward to seeing more of your videos :)
Hi Nain, thank you for the lovely feedback! Yes we completely agree that GAH is a very different game but it often gets referenced as one of the best/better 2 player euros. We like the game, but don't find it to be as tense or usually as close as Nusfjord. We LOVE feast for odin ☺ welcome to our channel we are happy to have you here! Thanks for taking the time to comment!
@@ThinkerThemer i understand your point. All of them are lovely games ☺️ thanks for your answer and good luck with your channel! To one day joining you both for a session!
Great video! I really like how you both approach games, and greatly enjoy your channel. I own this game and like it a lot. Have you played any of the other lesser known Uwe games? Any recommendations from among them? I think I've played many of the more famous, but have not otherwise branched out.
Thank you so much for the lovely feedback and glad you liked this video. We have been playing Fields of Arle recently but otherwise we have a backlog of more obscure Uwe to try! Maggie is a huge fan and pledged to try most of his main titles this year but that was before she realised just how many there are... (and we are in Feb and so far only 1 LOL)
Do you ever play Nusfjord solo? On BGG it's considered a good solo game, but curious of you've given it a try. It's on my "maybe" list - since I mostly play solo.
Do you also catch crocodiles in this game? Thought I spotted Crocodile Dundee on the board 😜 Have you played Fields of Arle and if so how does this compare to it? I already have Fields of Arle so wondering if this is different enough to add to my Uwe Rosenberg collection.
your channel is now one of my new favorites! somehow, you two seem to talk about games i really want to hear about :) Keep up the great work

What! Wow we had no idea!! Thank you Shawn for pointing this out to us and for your kind words!!! ☺☺

I recently bought this one and plan to play it over the holiday break. Great review and glad to have found this channel. I’ve subscribed!
Great to have you here Crystal! Thank you for the lovely feedback and taking the time to comment. Please let us know what you think of Nusfjord once you've had a chance to play! Happy holidays!
Uwe is one of my favorite designers. Don't know why or how I missed this one. Will have to pull it off the shelf. Thanks for the video!
It's a good little one! Definitely one of his under the radar releases. Wish we could play it with you! Soon I hope :)
Thanks for information about the expension with metal coins! ;) Love this game! :)
The metal coins are still tiny but so much nicer!! Thanks for commenting and glad you love it too! ☺
Glad I found this channel! Great job as always.

I just found your channel, and I'm very impressed. Liked, subscribed and looking for more games!

I love your video and agree with the conclusions. I haven't played FFO yet but this is one of my fav Uwes so far.
It's a lovely game, I just wish both expansions weren't impossible to find now, even used.

I might have to check this one out. I just picked up New York Zoo by Uwe Rosenberg. I like his games.
I can't wait for Hallertau!!!!! 😁 we love Uwe too.

@@ThinkerThemer Not aaaaaaaaaall of them (but a lot). Hard to say really. But maybe one of Feast/Glass Road/Fields...
the salmon deck is out already. Arrival to NA will most likely be in January/February.

Great review! I really enjoy the deeper analyses of the two sides, mechanics and theme. Have you ladies played Keyflower?
Thank you Matt for taking the time to comment and the lovely feedback. We LOVE Keyflower!!! Is it one of your favourites? ☺
@@ThinkerThemer Yes, very much so. I'd enjoy seeing you two do a review of it some day.
Yes we should!! Now that we can get back to our gaming group we can freshen up on the multiplayer experience. Thanks for the suggestion Matt.
That game seems interesting. Some of the art on the cards looks a little undercooked, but mechanically it catches my interest.
Hahaha yes it is very "euro" in its artwork - luckily the game is so fun 🙃 thanks for watching!
Had the same thought. Very drawn to this game but the art (and lack thereof) puts me off. I will pick it up if I find it at a great price though.
Is plaice not a fish in Australia ;)?
Do you ever play Nusfjord solo? On BGG it's considered a good solo game, but curious of you've given it a try. It's on my "maybe" list - since I mostly play solo.
Ooo stay tuned John!!! Will have an answer for you on this very soon! ☺
Solo is awesome in Nusfjord! ;) One of the favourite solo board games!
Do you also catch crocodiles in this game? Thought I spotted Crocodile Dundee on the board 😜 Have you played Fields of Arle and if so how does this compare to it? I already have Fields of Arle so wondering if this is different enough to add to my Uwe Rosenberg collection.
+1 for the Crocodile Dundee spot - maybe it’s only those from Aotearoa who can see it!
How would you compare this game to Agricola?
