Jamey Stegmaier released this game as a 'print and play' and provided it as a download for free to everyone during the pandemic. I find this just awesome. Therefore, I also bought this as a sign of appreciation, even though I could have gotten it for free as a download. Kudos, Jamey.
Absolutely agree it’s your points made. I love this one, especially the solo mode. As you mentioned, having a specific goal to achieve within certain parameters/cards to use, makes it so enjoyable. Haven’t quite made it through the first round of 18 ‘holes’, but savoring each one, whether I succeed at first or need to replay it. I’m glad you emphasized the strength of the solo mode because that combined with the ease to teach and quick playtime made this an easy buy
Love this approach to review games. I agree you need some dice luck in the last turns, but you also need to use some tactics, in order to be able to adjust the dice. Good on you, you have more than 18 points (or stars) every 6 plays. In 120 plays (or 40 games), I managed to get more than 18 points in 14 combinations (about 12%).
Thanks for the review. I was wondering about Rolling Realms and it sounds great as a lighter game and a solo one. One question: are the player cards language independent? If so, it could be great when I want to play games with members of my multilingual family.
Heard great things about this, pff and you said Skytear is also for me. It's too much, so many good games and can only house 50😳 What a luxury we have☺️
Really enjoying your adapted review layout. Hitting all the points I want in a review. Interestingly I thought giving a score was a good idea, but not missing it at all. Good on you. As for the review, I find I don't have much room for r&w games as I mostly play boardgames on Shabbos. During the week it is mostly solo games - so would you say this has the best solo mode you've come across in r&w games , or is there a better one you could recommend? Thanks!
Played this for the first time over the weekend, and pretty much agree with everything you said. I have a daughter away at college, and we'll play games via GoTo Meeting, and while it will require us both to have a copy, this will be a good one for that.
I haven't played any of the games that this game features..do you think id still have a good time with this? I LOVE roll and writes and really...just want to play them all, but somones video said if you havent played the stonemier games that you might not like this game? Any thoughts on this?
While I appreciate the quality of Stonemaire games in general, I've certainly not played them all. Without even knowing some of them, the fun of each mini game puzzle in this is still fun. If you know the game it is based on might be even more rewarding, but certainly doesn't take away from any potential enjoyment. 😃
Alex, as a Kickstarter wizard, can you tell me why an anime style TCG that looks like Magic ripoff and from an unproven publisher attracts so much attention and backers in this day and age? ;-)
@@BoardGameCo lol yep I skipped that video, I was thinking “I already like how he reviews games, I don’t need to watch that one”, but thanks for always being so introspective and self improving.

Like the review format in these roll and write reviews!
Thanks :)

I'll check this one out.
It's solidly enjoyable, and I'm 20 games into it

Sadly not, they definitely have english on them. Although if you know the rules it's easy enough to not need them.

Are the scores gone for good? I miss having them as they really determined whether I wanted to watch the rest of the video or not :/
They're coming back :)

It's delightful :) I'm 20+ games in already. Not that heavy, but easy to play and variable.
Are the ratings out of 5 coming back?? Really missing them in the past week or so of reviews

Which game? Or in general.
@@BoardGameCo Grand Archive TCG. Currently at $692,649. Blows my mind. I mean, it's TCG and it's the year 2021. :-O
Why the lack of a number out of 5? Don’t think you have enough plays yet?
I temporarily stopped rating games, but it's coming back :) This would have been a 3.5
@@BoardGameCo why? I watch almost all your videos but I must have missed that explanation.
@@Juliadeer check out last week's video on how to review games better

word!!
I think... 18 times 3 is 54. But on the other hand, what do I know... I am sure you'll play it 56 times anyways...
Weird game. I would never play this.
Lol fair :)
