Every time you squint at the screen, I think you're trying to read livestream chat 😄 - you definitely need a bigger monitor for that, and hopefully we'll see you two livestreaming soon!
@BoardGameBeans Před 2 dny
Ahaha yeah - just squinting at the tiny flip out screen from the main camera. I do have a external monitor I want to try just need to get the right cables (Micro HDMI to mini HDMI or something like that 😅)
@Coralou Před 2 dny
Everyone I know who has played Cartographers in person has said they use coloured pencils or markers 😃. Nice review, although you're right the plants in the foreground are distracting, at least the camera still kept focus on your faces! Nice shoutout to the Nerd Shelves! Also, for a roll-and-draw like this, remember how long you take to play the game depends on how long you take to make the artwork, haha.
@BoardGameBeans Před 2 dny
So lucky the camera kept focus this time! Aha true regarding the time based on the level of detail we add. It was pushing midnight when we filmed this one so that probably didn't help with me feeling it took so long, especially considering there was -no- artwork going on at my end 🤣
@racheldav4643 Před 2 dny
The plants still look great! And I agree about the pencils. I use colour pencils to fill in mine. No idea what the card is. Maybe solo? Or a promo card to put into Roll Player?
@BoardGameBeans Před 2 dny
Thanks for the comment :) I wish I left a section of the video before I applied a transform to scale/move it. The plant by me was taking up at least 1/4, pushing 1/3, of the screen lol. A big "oh no..." when I sat down to start the edit. And yep, seems the card is indeed a promo card for their other game Roll Player 🎉
@zmikers Před 3 dny
Woohoo. Thanks for sharing and thanks for the shout out ♥️
@BoardGameBeans Před 3 dny
Sorry if the audio sounds bad in this one, I'm forever learning how to get good with these microphones, and this time around it seems on of the transmitters failed us... Also the plant placement 😆Whoops. Plants and audio aside, I hope you enjoy this video, and please, if anyone knows what that mystery card is about, do let us know 😊
@spielmill1755 Před 8 dny
Hey great video! We love Wingspan. Like you noted, we love how the mechanisms tie into bird behavior. We have brown headed cowbirds near our house and we know how they'll drop their eggs in other birds nests - something Wingspan replicates. Anyhow welcome to the content creation community!!
@BoardGameBeans Před 8 dny
Thank you so much for your kind words 😊 Oh cool that you have cowbirds near you! 🐦‍⬛We still need to play the European expansion physical copy, so we can see some familiar faces 😅 We love how many birds there are to play with within the game. Shame about the audio quality in this one, I think I got it a bit better in our more recent videos.
@Brigelo-ef5in Před 11 dny
Thanks for the video. Very nice cosy setting. Relaxing and interesting to watching and listening you.
@BoardGameBeans Před 10 dny
Thank you for all the kind comments :)
@Brigelo-ef5in Před 11 dny
Thank you for the video and your point of view on this game.
@Brigelo-ef5in Před 11 dny
Hey very nice first video, thank you ! We are happy to discover your channel. (Sorry for our english)
@SecondStartotheLeft Před 12 dny
Always happy to see Button Shy games! This one is a fun one.
@racheldav4643 Před 14 dny
My husband and I played Tranquility at a smallish convention, last game of the day. It was really good to sit back and be quiet for a little while, but the game was meaty and thinky enough to keep our interest. The illustrations are lovely. Another great video!! 👍👍Lol
@BoardGameBeans Před 14 dny
Aha yeah it's certainly meaty and thinky - I liked it a lot, Joana even more! :) Can't wait to bring this one back to the table for another game or two. Thanks for your kind words :)
@TheNerdShelves Před 17 dny
Ahhh, the sweet smell of chemicals, hahaha.
@BoardGameBeans Před 17 dny
Ahaha, it's the same with the cards or cardboard boxes. That new game smell :D
@cunhajoe Před 18 dny
❤❤❤
@NoliKannoli Před 24 dny
Love the components and art in this one!
@NoliKannoli Před 24 dny
Great first game for a fun and in-depth review! I think that bloopers are charming and a great idea. And I’d love to learn more about the Beans Token mascot! (Is their name Beans perchance?)
@BoardGameBeans Před 24 dny
Many thanks for checking it out and the comment ☺️ aha the bean/cat token at the end there is Nanina, and while she has some cute beans I more frequently refer to her as a pumpkin or a loaf of bread 😂 I’m sure we’ll feature more of her in later videos.
@racheldav4643 Před 27 dny
Congratulations guys. This was a very fun video! Can’t wait to see what you do next !
@BoardGameBeans Před 27 dny
Thanks so much! We have lots of stuff planned, hopefully we can get to filming this week and the editing process will be a lot easier from here on out.
@cunhajoe Před 27 dny
Love the Metal Token of Greatness 😄
@BoardGameBeans Před 27 dny
and the metal token of greatness loves you! 💚
@TabletopExpress Před 28 dny
Congrats on your first video!
@BoardGameBeans Před 27 dny
Thanks you! 😊
@TheNerdShelves Před 28 dny
Woohoo... Great video. We just subbed ♥️
@BoardGameBeans Před 27 dny
Ah thank you so much for taking the time to check it out 😊
@Coralou Před 28 dny
Love it! Yes, please tell us more about these "tokens of greatness" 🙂. I hope the "bloopies" will be a regular feature.
@BoardGameBeans Před 28 dny
Ahhh thanks so much! 😊 the Bloopies will 100% stay a thing - I don't think we can ever get through a filming session without making a few blunders 😅 As for the tokens of greatness, they've had some refinement since we filmed this. We will have a new way of rating things going forward, in addition to this "award", aha. Thanks again for checking it out.
@TabletopExpress Před 2 měsíci
Great game with a ton of replayability. Haven't touched it's full potential yet.
