What kind of sleeves do you use? With so many games every week, you'll need tons of them. 😅 So I'm sure you know which ones are the best. It's always difficult to find the right sizes of a brand for a game.
So, I actually use Mayday sleeves because they are the cheapest and thinnest ones I can buy. I do have thousands of them in my collection and when I sell games, I take them off and transfer them to my stock to be used again. I like the thin sleeves because they take up less space in the box, are easy to stack with cards in them since they don’t lean and tip over and are half the price of thicker ones. On the sizes, I usually check BGG.
i get the whole sustainable use materials and thinking about the environment, and especially for games that its the thing they are talking about, but i agree, stop with teh stupid paper organizers and such that will break down over time versus just plastic ones. If i'm unwrapping something and it just goes into the trash, absolutely give me somehing biodegradable, but if its meant to stay in the box and live wit hthe game, then gimme proper components
I agree. Suitable for the application. However, I can say that in the case of this game, the inserts have been good to use so I am not too worried about it. I have had some that have been less than ideal.
@@JohnLaRuffa I love sleeving my cards. I always use the Mayday thicker premium sleeves. I don't sleeve every single card in a game, however. Generally, all decks with at least 10 cards *that are shuffled a lot* I sleeve. For all cards that don't require shuffling (or decks having 5 or less cards) I never sleeve.
It's just...a game, for heaven's sake. What do you want to use for components, seaweed? This is like saying there's a game about vegan food and the components aren't plant-based LOL
@@realdealastrology9 Of course, it is just a game, but games can reflect our values too. A lot of board games are moving towards sustainable materials because players care about it - especially in a game with this theme, it’s a nice touch. No, we don’t need components made from seaweed. 😉
I got my copy just recently too. Looking forward to seeing some game play, John!
I enjoy this game. I thought components were great. It all got organized well into box. Easy to pull out and start playing. Have fun
Thanks! Gonna try to get a game in tonight!
@@JohnLaRuffa what do you think of it so far (before you put out a review video)? Permanent keeper, great, or ehh?
@realdealastrology9 certainly a permanent keeper for many years. Very interesting gameplay from a solo perspective. Lots of scenarios too!
@@JohnLaRuffa sold!
@realdealastrology9 you won’t be disappointed.
I am looking for an unboxing of the retail version. All unboxing videos are about the deluxe version.
Sorry, I don’t have one…

Oh you sleevers!,...

I think it's appropriate not to use plastic in a game about developing sustainable ocean projects.
That is a fair and apt point and after reading the rules, I can see that this makes sense.

@@realdealastrology9if it's "just a game" then what's wrong with wrapping it in paper (and putting seaweed in it I suppose lol)?
@jakoseto3398 well, I will say that the brown paper wrap looks boring.
