I don’t know how you guys do it. But every time I’m thinking about a new board game to get you come out with a buyers guide for that series. I’m always appreciative of your videos even if my wallet is not.

Our apologies for the loss of your money. Can't wait to read your mind for our next Buyer's Guide

What an Exellent review and summary, I have watched about five other reviews and none were as clean as this one. You covered all aspects soo well.

[@BoardOfItReviews]

Thank you so much! So nice of you to say!

[@virgofortissima]

Great guide! Appreciate the perspective from a couple rather than a solo player, which is the most popular one with this game. And the honest opinion of how you don't need them all, but might end up wanting them all!
We too got started with Classics, added Legend and are currently waiting for Horizons to come out in Spanish!

[@BoardOfItReviews]

Thank you! Looks like Imperium has you in its grip!

Hello guys. I'm not an Imperium player but I wanted to say how well done and incredibly helpful your buyer's guides are. Years after everyone else I finally decided to stop resisting and get Nemesis. Your guide was really helpful even though in the end Ive gone for the original game (I'm a huge Alien fan so the original setting is everything for me, Lockdown just wouldn't be the same). Thanks.

[@BoardOfItReviews]

Thank you! We love making them so we are always on the lookout for more to make. Hope you enjoy Nemesis!

The various incarnations of Dinosaur Island/Dinosaur world might be a possible future episode?

Great video! I am waiting on my Horizons order to arrive. Do you find the different Commons decks similar, or do you have a preferred one, or do you rotate for variety?

[@rafiweiss3915]

The Horizons commons deck feels quite different from the other two. I think it is a bit more complex as the game expects you to work a bit harder to find the combos. This might just be a side effect of being very familiar with the Legends and Classics sets while finding Horizons having mostly wholly new cards and effects.
Edit: I rotate for variety!

[@OgamiTringle]

I have roughly 16 plays across all three titles and have used each set of commons more than once. I do not think I have enough plays to truly appreciate the differences. They do have different feels though even with out "enough" plays.

[@BoardOfItReviews]

They defo feel different, but not enough to put our fingers on the exact reason why. No preferred one yet, although we do like to rotate in and out just to see what happens.
