I just received this today; cannot wait to play. Thanks for the great video.
Read the intro of the manual. They explain why they partially negate your comment on conservation and social responsibility. In fact the premise of the game is on the unique opportunities the Salton Sea has for a cycle of creating geothermal energy and the extraction of concentrated Lithium in the brine it possesses.
This has jumped to the top of my list, loved White Castle and Red Cathedral. I also hear another title by Devir called Sand is due out.
This is 100% up my alley. Great review!
Hey thanks for watching. Yeah it’s a fascinating system and a great production. Hope you dig it when you get it to the table!
This game is amazing. Thank you devir
With all the Devir coverage are you going to review Red Cathedral or did I miss that review?
I really hope to, I just haven’t had a chance to get my hands on it yet. I did find a copy of 3 Ring Circus that I hope to cover soon though.
Is this MPS? So you’re saying this game doesn’t even finish in under 90 minutes?
There’s a degree of multiplayer solitaire to it but the choices your opponents make influence your own decisions, including racing to objectives, rewards from the shares in corporations and what cards they pick. Rarely though will you prioritize denying your opponent something over optimizing your own efficiency, so it’s less interactive than say something like Terraforming Mars.
Hello good! What size sleeve do the cards have?
Hi there! I don’t typically sleeve games but I just checked and the cards are the exact same size as the cards in The White Castle (and other recent Devir euros). According to BGG, the cards for The White Castle are 45 x 68.
@@TheCardboardHerald thanks!
Hi, I don't understand if you appreciate the game or not.
I don't like The White Castle because I think that it is more driven by.
I prefer the games when you have more fredoom of choose your strategy and I don't find this possibility in TWC.
So, I imagine that the puzzle game inside Salton Sea could be more interesting because give to the player more chance to create point occasion.
Is it true? Do you think?
Hi there Francesco! I thought I was being clear based on saying that I'm keeping it in my collection that I enjoyed the game, but if that's not clear I'll say it now; I really like Salton Sea. That said, I'm a huge The White Castle fan, so maybe that's something to consider. I don't think the games are that similar other than both being crunchy euros in small boxes, but I view them part of the same line.
I do think there is more longterm strategy in Salton Sea where you can try to veer in one direction or another and shape your approach to game, so in that I think you'll find you enjoy it more than The White Castle.
I hope that helps!
