Tom, I would love to see a revisit to Chads Combat Commander. I have read your review and tjat was a great read. Would be cool to see you do a video about that game, and see what you think of it so many years later. 🙂
Played this at BreakoutCon in Toronto. 2 players has an automata, and it's really well made, even though I tend to dislike those, this one worked well and was really easy to follow the instructions. The game is really really meh, and as I have literally hundreds of games and really amazing ones, I kinda wanted to just ignore it.. but I had fun playing it. It's a weird thing, the take that is lightly sprinkled, yet still 100% annoying, the decisions are not super clear and sometimes don't matter at all, most of the game plays itself I feel, and yet I would play again.. I almost won it at a raffle, but I wouldn't buy it. There's almost no reasons to play this when you could play something else, and yet I would play again if asked to join a game. I just wouldn't suggest it, like ever. Confused review :p
It was a fine game but I'm surprised you didn't comment on the downtime. In 3-4p the downtime is just too much. You do nothing while you wait for other players to take their turn planning out what to do with their dice. You're talking 90 min for a dice chucking game, too long.
This is the kind of game that will probably be hurt by the glut of games that are continually being published. Good but not amazing. I'm interested in the game but with only so much $ for games I'm going to pass
Wow. Either I didn't have enough coffee, or that was a disjointed and confused review. I don't understand anything. 5:38 - Thrown into the bag WAIT WHAT? Maybe the bag should have already been introduced by this point? Though to be honest, I was already lost. at 5:52 I just skipped to final thoughts. And still had no idea where any kind of victory track bump came from. Sorry Tom. I love you and your reviews but ... holy hot mess.
This looks so fun to me. Would have picked it up today if my FLGS had it in stock.

Reminds me so much of a more complex “Ra: The Dice Game.” Really looking forward to this one!
@ the Energizer commercial.... I first saw the bunny commercial in 1989, there is NO WAY it's still going!
The contrast between the great box art and the very "meh" looking game is very odd.
Dometooplz the game board reminds me of the original SimCity

Downtime was also problem with Centerville’s predecessor, Urban Sprawl. Tom made a review on that too.
That is one, uncreative and plain looking board.
