Thanks! It was a fun exhaustive effort. Sadly, we don't play a lot of cooperative games. We are partners that prefer to beat on one another in a board game rather than work together. We should have stipulated that in the review, but I suppose we forgot.
@@TabletopTurtle I really recommend you try the cooperative version. It's much more tense and the experience is worth it, even if you're not much of a coop gamer.
Haha oh my the pressure! Hopefully they're convinced and you have a good time with it! Dear Henchman friends, just play the damn game your boy bought for your entertainment!
Good review. This game looks like an investment of effort and it's important to understand the pros and cons first. I'm the one who would set it up, so that doesn't bother me. It's the initial learning curve. My wife can handle even On Mars once we played a time or two, so I'd like to believe she could handle this. Thanks
Thanks! It is a bit of an effort but we think the tutorial version of the game really is a must when learning because it makes the entire experience far more digestible in a single sitting. I would say that if you played that version first, the game wouldn't be any harder to understand than On Mars. So if she can handle that, she can handle Voidfall!
Hey, great review, very well done 🙂 If you don't mind me suggesting something, that would be timestamps (really would help me search the video by topic) and more b-rolls ;-) Really love the format, wish you success and alll the best.
Mike's occupation has never been represented in a board game before, so he was a little too excited! It won't be long till I find that card framed in the living room some day!
I have the galactic box and I would never spring for it over the retail knowing what I do now. It’s not “worse” per se but it is bigger and it really doesn’t need to be.
I'm wondering if you've played Feudum and how these games compare complexity wise. Would love to watch a Feudum review! Maybe you have no interest in that one?
Feudom is the epitome of fiddly rules. This game is much better with that. Not only is the iconography very helpful once learned there are a ton fewer rules exceptions and little rules that are easy to forget. Feudom is so cool, but this one is easier to teach (though still not easy…)
Nice to see a reviewer put in the work needed for this game! Love the energy!
My local board game café does this thing that you can hire a guru to come and teach you a game, and he/she will bring it. 👍🏻
Our local game cafe seems to have stopped doing that. Now it feels like nobody really knows how to teach most of the games on the shelf.
Wow glad I came across your channel! Subscribed. Great review, quality, succinct, honest, articulate. Looking forward to seeing more big game reviews!
Forgot to mention funny 😄. Poop Voidfall sounds like a very serious condition.
Thank you so much! These comments are so nice that people are going to think we created an alternative account!!
Really good review. I have this on my list of games to play. Glad to hear it is not heavy into PvP.
Nope! It's there and probably shouldn't be ignores but it's not the primary objective
Thanks for the in-depth review, you really notice how often you have played the game.
Have you ever tried out the cooperative modus?

Subscribed. Not only are you both ultra cute but also very articulate and thorough in your reviews with no wasted time. Keep up the great job 👍
Thank you for the very kind words!
Excellent review. This is the review I’ll send to my game group to encourage them to agree to play the game. 🤞Subscribed. Thanks.

Voidfall design philosophy: "F it" lmao, yup! Subscribed
Thanks for the subscription! Playing the game really did feel that way in the best possible manner.

Noted and added! Thanks!
Just want to point out that I used the time stamps, and then scrolled down to see this comment.
Ooooo nice Netrunner drop❤

Good review at least you put the work in rather than phoning it in. And don't worry plenty do phone it in...
Thank you. Game is worth the effort.
Would you recommend the galactic box over retail? Do you think it's worth the hefty price? I think it's going from $200-400 atm 😂 awesome review btw!!
Honestly, I think the retail version is better if only because it actually takes less time to set up!
I have the galactic box and I would never spring for it over the retail knowing what I do now. It’s not “worse” per se but it is bigger and it really doesn’t need to be.
Subscribed at "topical politics" x) just got myself this game can't wait to try it out
We give some hot takes on this channel! Hopefully you like it and have an easier time on the setup than myself.
I'm wondering if you've played Feudum and how these games compare complexity wise. Would love to watch a Feudum review! Maybe you have no interest in that one?
That's a game I've looked at a lot but never tried. I'll have to find a copy.
Feudom is the epitome of fiddly rules. This game is much better with that. Not only is the iconography very helpful once learned there are a ton fewer rules exceptions and little rules that are easy to forget.

I'm also a technical writer lol and i do care.
My brother!
too much is sometimes too much
Sometimes. But of course we are all a little different on where that line is that we think is just too much.
No mention of corruption frustrations? Total A-holes.
. . . wut?
The crisis board can quickly end plans if corruption is not kept in check from my experience. Is a tricky balance.
Topical political commentary. Loved it.
Imho teach other players how to win. Crushing people new to a game is a weird flex.
Sometimes, things are said for shits and giggles in videos. But also, nobody goes easy on anyone in our friend group.
