    I think this is an absolute banger. And now that it’s been out for a few years you can routinely find it for around $20. There’s a ton of content in the box for that price. Thanks for the review Luke!

    This is a perfect review, Luke. You have really mastered the length, pace and presentation of your reviews and it’s really noticeable that you’ve put in the extra effort to get to this point with your videos. Well done.

      Much appreciated! The down side is that it takes me even longer to edit, yet doesn't build any extra viewership, but it's a better video all around.

    Another great video as predicted. Again, showing more images was a great change on your videos. Thanks for your reviews.

      I also LOVE you showing the rule book page by page...another thing others are not doing. All you need now is a Green Screen while you are standing on the board game while reviewing. LOL Now that would be something completely different.

    • @TheBrokenMeeple
      @TheBrokenMeeple  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ha ha I ain't go no green screen tech or skills ! :P But yeah I was struggling to come up with enough B-Roll to fill the videos and I figured, well, why not show how the book is laid out?

    Great review and fun graphics. I’m hoping there are more solo games truly designed for one player.

      Much appreciated! Appreciate it! The down side is that it takes me even longer to edit, yet doesn't build any extra viewership (compared to someone who just switches on the camera and talks), but it's a better video all around. But I do enjoy using the clips when I can!

    Agree with other this is really good stuff and a great review. I rarely watch reviews of games I actually own.. why? as I've got it... but I actually watched the whole thing.
    Personally I think this game could find a place in most peoples collections, it's cheap, doesn't take up much shelf space, easy to learn, quick and fills a nice genre gap so relatively unique IMO. Yes it's very space invaders and Xcom Base building but it's still very different ..well at least to me.

    I love the video 😄😄😂. I just bought this a couple of days ago lightly used for 20 euros. It wasn't even on my list, but ai had seen all the hype and since In my fb groups I saw a lot of people buying it and almost none selling it, I thought it must be good. I don't know I haven't received it yet. But even if it's not that good, at that price and with all this content I bet it will be making his money by the 5th time I play it. I also like your videos, did I mention that? 👏👏👏

    Great video! I finally had to break down and grab this one. It will likely be one of the last games to arrive now that I have stopped buying new games for a while. I still have a load of KS games coming, but it is time for me to cull my collection and stop adding to it. My wife let me add one last shelf, for 5 total, so I need to make that work for now.

      @@TheBrokenMeeple I think viewership is elastic (as in: does not respond instantly to changes). The videos are ever more refined. And I believe you will see viewership keep increasing over the next quarter as more people stumble on or have the newer videos shared. The effort you put in doesn't go unnoticed and is appreciated!

      Get both.. but I'd say it will come down to being able to find a copy of either is the main issue ATM.
      Looking on Zatu they are both the same price @ £25.. again they are not expensive relatively so why restrict yourself to just one of them as they are very different games.

    I recently added UFS to my collection. So far I've only played with Roswell flipping a few boards to increase the difficulty and I'm quite impressed. UFS looks like a keeper that will join Friday, Warps Edge and a couple of Tiny Epic games as solo filler games.
