This version has over 100+ custom character cards and new game modes!

Catan the modern day monopoly lol

Ohh guys. The info is good, but the audio sucks. You need to upgrade you mic game asap

Did secret Hitler pretty much copy this game?

My favorite

1st.

I just stumbled upon this video. I really like this channel and I'll support it as much as I can.

Bang! has been replaced by the much better Bang! The Dice Game.

Cool videos!

Unfortunately sometimes the nearest "local game shop" is hours away and therefore is not a viable option.

Really?

can you guys make a top 10 games for each style of game?

Ah like mitsuo Yamamoto from logygames, I love his skyscrapers and safari

Great review, loved it ;).

Lol nice quick explanation about a real time board games xD

Love You Guys, Keep More Videos Coming

I Making My Own Western RPG Board Game , Its Coming Soon

I disagree quite a lot with the problems he brings up about Avalon. namely the "optimal strategy" and "luck factor" of the assassin. My group plays this game every week multiple times and there is no optimal strategy because everyone becomes better at the game, and each player knows all the possibilities of the game and attempts to counter the strategies. Assassin can sometimes win based on pure luck, but as i said, my group is exceptional at this game, and anyone who is not merlin, (usually percival) will pretend to be merlin, sometimes so well that assassin kills him instead of the real merlin. The problems stated in this video are purely based on the people playing it. if everyone ends up being exceptional, the game becomes much more intense and much more fun instead of being more funneled.

haha no relation, but are you guys married? or was it just a coincidence.. nice vid btw

i wish the cameraman didn't have parkinson's disease, other than that, good job.

I was curious about this game but heard it was broken. Your input though makes sense. I'd hate to miss out on a great game experience because of one scenario.

I knew of this games existence (or one just like it) but didn't know it's name. Thank you! Now I can get it!

the chick on the right is hot.

Tried Hearthstone in closed beta and never came back to it. Too simple, too flashy, too random. Magic is much better for my strategic game taste.

A couple of questions for next month's podcast: How did you wind up on The Dice Tower? And, if it's not a rude question, were you remunerated in any way for the content you created for The Dice Tower?

That ding is so piercing... it truly hurts my ears... can you find something not as high pitched or er... mute it or something? Or not mention One Night Werewolf again :) The discussion about Hearthstone's randomness and it's relation to tournament play... Pokemon TCG has a mass of cards that have "flip a coin x number of times and for each head do something or another" and every Special Status (Burned, Asleep, Confused and so on) also require coin flips to determine if the effect continues/triggers. And yet they have tournaments every year where the best of the best play... I agree that the random element makes it more accessible but I don't think it limits it's depth.

I miss you guys on Board game Breakfast!

you mean we don't get to see Jessica's sexiness anymore? :*(

I have Spyfall printed myself (without the art, so it is a bit weak, as you can't relate to objects or colors:) on a card), but i still have to give it a play. Not sure about it yet, until we play. Because it is so hard to think of a good question.

I've bought that humble bundle! I was playing Android Star Realms free version already, now i have second campaign, which is Haaaard.. :) Yeah, i miss your reviews ;)

Welcome back, you've been missed! I loved your videos so I'm sad to hear that it'll be difficult to produce any more, but this podcast is a worthy alternative. Hope the move went okay Sam.

FINALLY... miss your vids :(

Isn't the first episode meant to episode 4, not episode 2?

Good on you, glad to see you all back doing board game reviews/podcasts.

You guys talked about Five Tribes. I haven't played it yet, but I can't get behind using slaves as a resource. I find it incredibly offensive and unacceptable in this day and age. And I certainly don't accept "it's thematic" as an excuse, especially in a game where the theme is tacked on as it is with Five Tribes. What are your thoughts on this?

Did you died?

Very cool! Great podcast! I was wondering where you guys were at.

Still no answer from you guys? I live in Australia so doubly loved you videos. Please post some more, please, pretty please with sugar on the top!

I know this is months old, but one rule you can add that most people forget to mention is that whoever is the leader can control which mission they're going to try and pass, allowing you to complete missions in any order, so that adds quite a bit to the game, I feel.

Ok come on. I'm right now writing on a design document for a mecha game based on anime mechas, like Chris suggested for Evangelion AND you released this video on my birthday. Coincidence? Chris, if you haven't: Watch Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. It makes for much better game designing ;) also, it's like Eva in a comic universe, exchanging the drama with pure liquid awesome. Still love Eva though ;)

What happened to this channel?! No more uploads?

No Avatar: The Last Airbender? Before the Fire Nation Invasion. It would make an awesome RPG. You pick an element to bend and be on spiritual journeys or visiting friends and there is the looming threat of the Fire Nation invading. In the World of Korra you could also have an RPG and pick not to have Bending and instead use newly-developed technologies. It could even make an Overlord game where you're trying to find Airbenders and each scenario would be different towns and mountainsides and villages where the Overlord is trying to hide their captives, capture you etc. The terrain could be manipulated; so it'd probably be hexes consisting of Earth and Water. I'm aware an RPG seems to already exist; though I haven't got to play it. I would imagine it'd be pretty awesome getting to create different offensive and defensive techniques based on your element.

There is a Pokemon Board Game. Flip the Table played Pokemon: Master Trainer.

I was just about to subscribe, then he said "that is a filthy lie". Why do you think we are watching video's about Avalon? Its because we're interested in it. Know your audience.

Doesn't have a lot of replayability? Woooooooo boy are you guys wrong. No way you're gonna get a feel for the game after only 5 plays.

Great list and video first of all. I love the Cornetto Trilogy and I think a themed Fluxx game would work well to like the movies in a game. You could have goals to collect a matching pair of Simon and Nick from the same movies, or multiple of one from different movies. Creepers could be zombies, aliens and a fence. A good way to work with the theme is have some cards have additional or different effects if they affect or play of other cards from the same movie. A game I would like to see is a co-op Doctor Who game where each player is a different doctor, each with slightly different skills, trying to complete quests in different timelines. Another co-op game would be for Borderlands. Team up to find the vault, fight bosses and collect loot along the way. A unique mechanic would be that weapons are made out of three cards laid on top of one another, one that determine the weapon type, another what manufacturer made it and one is an attachment. All the cards have different stats and special effects that combine to make a weapon.

I have to disagree with you on this one. First off, the ability to lose a game due to a weak link on your team is not a reason to give a game a poor rating. You wouldn't say Pandemic or Arkham Horror are bad games because you can lose if someone on your team is bad. And in a game about deception this is even less true. 1 strategy is for the spies to all try and win over 1 Resistance member and alienate the rest. Also, if you're going to rate a game poorly because it makes people upset, then just about every competitive game would be considered terrible. As for there being an optimal strategy, this really depends on how many people are playing and what group you're playing with. Yes, like any game, a group may settle into 1 strategy for victory but to say this all boils down to the first mission is ridiculous. Yes, in a 5 player game, the first mission is extremely important. In a 7 player game, it's all about the last mission. Monopoly isn't a bad game because 1 strategy for winning is immediately going for the railroads. And when you use the Event cards, strategy varies even more. I haven't played Avalon but judging by what I've seen the Merlin mechanic seems a little silly but for anyone watching this review I would encourage you to try out The Resistance. So long as you don't play with the same boring group every time it's a fantastic game.

I did have a pokemon board game boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/1381/pokemon-master-trainer it wasn't that great. but yeah having a good one done would be amazing!!!

Needless to say you guys, and girl, gave me a lot to thin about. Thanks!!!!!
