    Villagers is one of those games I believe will end up in pretty high demand, and has a real shot at being an evergreen title. It's got the right mix of easy to teach & enough game play to keep veterans engaged. And it feels like its own game and not a remake of something else. The only reason I didn't put it in my games to start a collection video, was that it wasn't out yet.
    Some people have suggested I do more "ratings" or clear endorsements/condemnations in my vids. I probably won't and will just leave them for the pinned comment. Does that work for you?

    • @RichardArpin

      Numbers and ratings often lose sight of the difference and subtly in games and how they operate. Distinction and understanding suffer when the goal is a rating, not to say that ratings are always bad. Rockpapershotgun has a badge for bestest best and otherwise do not rate.
      I however would say that if a game is trash then it should be condemned, be that Tops Trumps or something similarly vapid and useless. Not enough time in the world to waste on terrible games.

    • @3MBG
      @3MBG  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yeah, i'm personally against numerical ratings as they strip nuance out of a game review, as people start quibbling about the score. I've lost track of the number of times peoples arguments for or against a game boiled down to "but dice tower approved it" or "SU&SD endorsed it".
      I want people to make up their own minds based on what is in the video. Not hammer everyone into my way of thinking.
      But yeah, if a game is one I really feel strongly about, either way, i'll mention it here.

      What I appreciate of this channel is the remarkable blend of precise review and personal voice in just a few minutes. Your short videos have made me more self-aware of my own preferences in board gaming than many a rambling 30 min review. By eschewing score and recommendation, one gets very quickly at the heart of the matter: would *I* love this game?

    • @3MBG
      @3MBG  5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Nailed it, its not about if I like the game, its whether you will. And I like to leave that decision in your hands.
      I think a lot of reviewers, and not just board games but all media, act from a place where they think their audience needs to be led to a decision. I don't personally like being told what i should think or feel about a game. So I try not to do it myself.

      I like you keep the 3 minutes clean and focused on what the game is as now. But you could consider a second short video for your personal opinions about the game.

    You're by far the most helpful and concise board game reviewer I've found on TH-cam. Good job! Thanks for your help.

    I like 3 min board games so much that I watch the full advertisment.
    Kidding aside (but I really do watch the ads), I love how these breakdowns give a sense of the mechanics. I may never play some of these games due to time constraints but this channel is a gem.
    I'm actually considering my first ever Patreon, although I should worry about my schooling first.

    • @3MBG

      Your schooling is definitely more important. But I really appreciate the comment :)

      @@3MBG I went to law school before starting engineering and that was pretty much a waste of money. Would've been better to take the $40k and started a mini painting company, a t-shirt company, or board games review channel.
      Construction helped me pay it back but I don't know that engineering is all that amazing. I meet plenty of engineers working at the mall serving me ice cream... The modern Western economy is wack.

    A little late to the party but thanks for this video! To explain the game in 3 minutes will be extremely useful to get this on the table with my playgroup.
    Small note to clarify basic builders: they DO NOT count within your build limit, and the video appears to suggest that a hayer + thatcher is two builds. So the player who builds the thatcher is still allowed one more build.

    Reminds me of Machi Koro with less RNG.

      Well, no RNG for starters.
      I can see some similarities, but its a cut above Machi-koro in my mind

      It isn't in stores yet. It should be arriving to KS backers, and stores who backed it in a few weeks. With the retail coming a month later around June.
