The deluxe components are nice, but I don't know if they are nice enough to double the price of the game though. Still on the fence about which to get.
I've played the deluxe Version and I find it too bulky. The bag is huge and end up being in the middle of the table blocking the view to other people s boards. Also, the box is big and heavy. I prefer having smaller lighter games so I can bring more games on a game night...
I was on the fence about whether or not to get the deluxe version. I ended up getting the standard version then used the left over cash to get Inis on sale…. And still had change vs the deluxe edition. I think I made the right choice. The care shown to the standard edition is amazing.
@@xshadowscreamx Someone bought me the Deluxe version for a gift. Still not sure it was worth it. Had I bought it myself, I think I would have been disappointed at what you got for the difference in price. I think I would have rather had the base game, which is perfectly fine, and enough left over for another game.
Got the retail and cant wait to play it. They both look great and I like that the retail one has a smaller box. Makes it easier to travel with. Since im new to board gaming and starting my collection I felt that I could use the money to buy a different game as well(maybe Dune Imperium)
Looks like you already saw the campaign update about them, but in case you didn’t, I reached out to Chad from 25th century to ask about the coins. There was an update on the campaign, which you can read here with much more detail: gamefound.com/projects/25th-century-games/ra/updates/7 But basically they tried a lot of different options and approaches to get the enamel filled coins to work but nevertheless found anything that actually looked good. Quote from the update: “The problem is that with art on cardboard you can get texture gradient depth, but was something that no matter what we tried we could not get to come through on the enamel. This resulted in the coins looking fake and plastic, almost like cheap nail polish, since nothing we did was able to get a texturing wash to stick. The other concern was spillage of the enamel into other areas of the coin as well as thinner spots and chipping, which just looks sloppy. “ The link to the full update is above and there’s a lot more detail there about what they tried, including pictures of their best attempt, and I agree, that look pretty bad and I don’t think many people would have been happy if that’s what they had gotten.
@@PlaytheGameHQ yeah the samples were pretty bad so a completely understand them changing. Just a bit sad it didn't work out since the renders were nice.
On a different channel, the host said that he took cardboard components and used super glue on the edges to keep the pieces from fraying. A lot of work but maybe worth the effort?
I’ve seen people use modgepodge, that’s pretty common to protect pieces, but superglue seems much harder to work with and cleanup is worse for any drips and spills. I haven’t done the modgepodge thing personally but there’s a lot of information out there on forums I think
I am very impressed with it. For a game where most of it is in the bag, it's nice to have this really big bag because it feels very fun to get and move the tiles around before drawing one.
Wonder when these are supposed to ship to backers, seems like some have already got their game. Looks like another game I'll have to make an insert for. At least they didn't waste money on a poorly designed insert like too many seem to do. Always makes me appreciated the GameTrayz inserts and their well thought out designs all the more.

You're the first video that pops up for an unboxing for this game, and I just gotta say that this video would have been much easier to watch if you weren't in a race to get to the next video you have to shoot. I'll check some of your other videos to make sure this wasn't a one off, but slow down, be present with us in the video your shooting, and edit if you're going for a time limit. Keep checking cubes 😁
I feel like the retail one to other companies would be the deluxe version as it itself has great wooden components and high quality punch boards
This is an awesome comparison. Great video work with your two camera setup.
The Deluxe version wooden tiles really look nice.
My Pharaoh copy arrived two weeks ago. Played Ra for the first time ever, tonight, with that copy. SPECTACULAR!
Cheers, thanks for running through these!
Wow! looks unreal, cant wait for mine to arrive! Great job 25th!
Great editions of Reiner Knizia’s classic!
Thanks for the rundown! It's very exciting that this will be fulfilling soon!
Seriously thank you for putting this video together!! Exactly what my wife and I were looking for!
Glad it was helpful!
Looking forward to getting the deluxe KS soon! Thanks for the preview!

Agreed.
Still a little bit disappointed that they couldn't do the coloured metal tokens but those wooden tiles look really nice. Can't wait to get my copy.

@@mrthommo6551 The funny thing is that someone on BGG went and added the color to their own and they look great.
I am actually okay with the way the retail looks. The colored coins on retail make me happier to look at.
I bought retail but I'm jus happy to have my hands on it soon

I’m super happy I went with the regular edition. The differences are negligible for me now that I see it
The regular edition feels pretty premium.
Yes I’m pretty divided which version to get. But I can’t justify the cost. Here in Australia it’s priced at $210? ($140 USD)
Wonder when these are supposed to ship to backers, seems like some have already got their game.

At least they didn't waste money on a poorly designed insert like too many seem to do.

GameTrayz is awesome but because 80% of the components are in bags, I don't think you really need to.
Aren't the metal tokens supposed to be colored? They are on the campaign page
Pretty disappointing, I guess I'll play with the cardboard tokens

I thought the pacing was fine. Its a 12 minute video for an unboxing.. that's plenty
