  • If Galactic Cruise is a peek at what we can expect from Kinson Key Games, I can't wait to get every single game they make on my table. Galactic Cruise is an incredible medium/heavy worker placement game, and the most shocking thing about it is that it's from a group of first time designers/publishers. Check out the review to see why I fell in love with this game.

    Play the Game HQ a youtube channel dedicated to sharing our love of boardgames. Our flagship series, Play the Game, is a high quality multi-camera board game play through series featuring a bunch of friends gathered around the table playing board games. Play the Game takes its inspiration from other shows like Tabletop. Our Mission with Play the Game is to highlight the joy that comes when you gather around the table with friends and play a board game.
    Play the Game features a dedicated board game playthrough studio with 7 cameras, a custom board game table, an awesome custom made back-lit logo on the wall, and tons of easter eggs sprinked through the studio space.
    Play the Game is also the home of the Kidsplaining tutorial series, where Jarred (12) and Peyton (9) teach some of our favorite games in high quality, scripted board game tutorial videos. Kidsplaining started as a way to share our love of board games and help those who were intimidated by more complicated modern board games take a chance on new ones - because if a kid can teach it, how hard can it be?

    This game has had all the buzz for a while now, so cool seeing it on some tables. I clicked that Notify me on *LAUNCH* button. Thanks for the preview! I loved seeing the early prototype pics.

    Seems like they borrowed a lot from Vitale Lacerda's Lisboa (including the employee handbook, influence/reputation track, and Ian O'Toole)...but that's great! Those are the kind of things everyone should be stealing.

    Thank you for the review. Amazing, incredible, the game I’ve been waiting for. I’m struggling trying to see what makes it different or unique. Outside the bump your opponent from their space and they get a bonus, I’m looking for “incredible”…

    @ScytheNoire 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    I keep seeing huge praise for this game and often being compared to Lacerda games.
    Ian O'Toole is the master of making complex games easier to play, so I think it was a great move hiring him for graphic design.
    Very interested in seeing more in the campaign.

      look at it's massive table presence, tokens, meeples, and more... I can't imagine it being cheaper. $89 seems to be the right price... of course I would want the expansions... so $130 makes me think the mrs is gonna give me that look

    Also, why should I care about this when you insiders somehow have connections to see and test these things years before us? It's already old news then

    • @PlaytheGameHQ
      @PlaytheGameHQ  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      This is the least insider game I’ve ever seen going to Kickstarter. They’ve taken it to every convention they can get to sent copies with people to conventions they can’t personally make it to. It’s been playtested hundreds of times with the general public. Would you prefer to know nothing about the game or do you not like crowdfunding and just prefer games show up on retail shelves?

      @@PlaytheGameHQ 'Worker-placement Euro', 'bumping out others' workers', 'play-testing hundreds of times' all probably means the game contains nothing to find. Everything that could be seen has been. Probably lacking a certain richness of emerging phenomena and subtle, undiscovered nuance(s). So... what's the point?

    Sick of seeing over-reliance on iconography

    • @PlaytheGameHQ
      @PlaytheGameHQ  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      So do you want less complex games or text heavy boards? Not sure what other options there are if you’re getting rid of iconography. Or do you want cleaner boards and players just need to know what their options are and how to execute moves without the aid of on-board icons?

    • @jamesmorgan1967
      @jamesmorgan1967 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      Clear iconography makes it less language dependent. Being less language dependent is good for selling your game in markets around the world. Clear iconography allows people to get into the game more easily and spend less time reading or consulting the rulebook (once the icons have been learned). Consider it a kind of "shorthand" for how the game works.

  • @coltonbeatty6117

    Probably tested and revised and scripted to the point of already being 'solved'. If that's what you mean by 'polished'...

    • @PlaytheGameHQ
      @PlaytheGameHQ  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Polished means that everything makes sense and works cohesively. There’s no solved, there’s plenty of strategies you could play with but still need to keep an eye on what other players are doing and adjust accordingly got. There’s hundreds of different choices you could make during a game
