- Join Tablenauts for a playthrough and review of Babylonia. One of Reiner Knizia’s best board games. Babylonia has gone under the radar and is, in my opinion, one of the best board games of 2019.

Everyone knows about My City, The Quest for El Dorado, Tigris and Euphrates, etc, but Babylonia deserves much more love as one of Reiner Knizia's best works.
This is one of the best two player board games, also one of my favorites, and scales incredibly well. Every play is fast and every action is important. In my opinion, this is one of Reiner Knizia’s best board games.
Where do you think Babylonia should rank in a list of Reiner Knizia’s best?! We’re real fond of it.
@@callaxwithac1320 interesting as I think 2 player Tigris and Euphrates is very good. It is so deep strategically, that you can win some local battles, lose others, but win the war if you manage to pivot and make a big swing at the right time.
@@callaxwithac1320 I need to check out Samurai, thanks for your comments
@@callaxwithac1320 would love to try Samurai and Blue Lagoon but I really think Babylonia works great at 2.
Maybe it doesn’t seem that way on camera but, personally, I felt like there was a lot of interaction. I spent much of the game trying to stop Doolin from chaining stuff together, getting Ziggarauts, etc.
Now, Samurai and Blue lagoon may be better- I’ve never played so I can’t comment, but I really enjoyed this game and think it has a healthy amount of interaction.
Thanks for your comments though! Looking forward to trying more Knizia games in the future!
Always a blast making Max annoyed, so this was a great game to me!!
This deserves a replay. Revisit with rules corrected.
Agreed! We still love Babylonia.
Def got some stuff incorrect in this video and tried to notate it on screen when able.
Great runthrough. I've just grabbed myself a copy of this so cannot wait to table it. 🎲🥃🇬🇧
Have so much fun!
saw your playthrough on quackalope, loved your personality, checked out your channel now :)
Thanks Dan! That means a lot. We hope you enjoy the videos! :)
@@Tablenauts love your playthroughs, can definitely tell your having fun and that's entertaining :) reminds me it's the people that can make playing board games much more fun
Interesting play through. I might have missed it. But is the area that is in play depending on the Player count?
Correct! You divide the map based on player count. If playing with 4 you play with the entire map!
@@Tablenauts that is always something I really enjoy in games. really makes it more concise at 2, if the map size is reduced then
This feels like a really advanced version of Caesar:Seize Rome in 20 minutes
Desperately wanna try that one!
There's definite similarities! Especially the tile that increases your hand limit and gives you an extra turn, are very reminiscent of the bonus powers in Caesar! SRi20M (or vice versa).
I was surprised how well Babylonia plays at 2, largely thanks to the reduced map. Caesar is just more compact, affordable and in print for 2p only.
You guys didn’t score the ziggurats right
Thanks for playing this. It’s a little hard to see the strategies when just observing, so can I ask, have you played Tigris & Euphrates? It seems to me T&E is more interesting and more engaging. T&E is in my top 10 games of all time and I would buy more Reiner Knizia games, if the game is really strong. Do you have a preference and comparative?
Definitely recommend Babylonia but I cannot compare, unfortunately. I am fairly new to most Knizia games having only played My City, Quest for El Dorado, and Babylonia.
I thought you could do the farmers in the river as long as they were face up?
I’ll have to go back and watch- farmers should be able to go in the river but face down I think? Possibly we misplayed- and it’s also been a bit since I last played lol.
The game looks interesting, but at the equivalent of US$100 on Amazon Mexico, this is an easy pass for me. Too bad.
Wooooah, yeah, that's ridiculous. Maybe it's in between print runs? I'd pay $40!
@@Tablenauts That might be it. Who knows. I'll see if I can get it cheaper later on.
