Welcome to Board Game Buzzz! My name is Carly! Join me as I share all my thoughts and recommendations on the latest board game buzzz!
Land VS Sea Review: Watch Out... Or You Might Score For Your Opponent!
Part puzzle, part game. Play as either Land or Sea (or the Cartographer in a 3 player game). Each player plays with 2 double-sided hex tiles containing a mix of land and sea shapes. They take turns placing a tile each to make a map together. Land places tiles trying to complete land areas, and Sea places tiles trying to complete sea areas. Completed areas score a point per tile; land areas for Land, sea areas for Sea.
Watch your rivals’ possible plays, and control tempo strategically with Play Again and Steal tiles. Look out for opportunities to score valuable bonus points in your and your rivals’ areas. Carefully select tiles as you replenish your hand to prepare for your next turn.
The game ends once the last tile is placed. The player or team with the most points wins!
And yes... Before you comment, I KNOW I SAID VOLCANO SO WEIRD DURING THE REVIEW! I have NO idea why I said it that way LOL! Forgive me!

Dune: War For Arrakis: What's In The Retail Box?!
I have not played Aqua, but I like all of the other games, including Harmonies. Have you played Reef and Neotopia? They also have mechanics that are similar to Harmonies, completing patterns that are on cards.
Radlands Expansion -- yes please, thanks for the info. Need it ASAP. Still sooo many new polyomino tile-laying game. I have yet to get my Plane Unknown special edition. I think I already have too many. Skyrise looks good though - but also expensive!
Agreed!!! Hopefully I can find it for cheap!!
Harmonies is definitely on my very short list to get asap. I never pulled the trigger on Callico, because of its restrictiveness. Here in Downunder I have not received my Cascadia expansion Landmarks (paid for it over half a year ago.) And I don't think Harmonies is widely available here either yet. Thanks for the video.
Of course!! Thanks for watching!
Nice short video Carly. I thought the 3-player modus brought some nice and different touch to the game. Granted, the "Cartographer" plays quite different than the other two players. Therefore, I thought that the balance might be out and would have to be taken by a player more familiar with the game. Unfortunately, I have only been able to play this with my wife in a two-player-mode (which I agree is the main/preferred one). BUT you made me intrigued to now try it with three! My problem is that I hardly ever have a play-team of three.
Yes I agree! The 3 player mode is interesting for sure! I am glad they included it.. but I just prefer the two player mode! ❤️
Looks like fun and reminds me of Cascadia in the way you match up topography. I love tile placing games. This one was interesting with being able to benefit the other player. The back and forth play with opponents would be fun. Thanks for the awesome video! I'd love to check this one out.
Glad you enjoyed it! It is a great game!!
I love this game, although my wife has a knack for letting me allllllmoooossst close off my area before extending it out and out so I can never finish it. I agree with you, though- after hearing you talk about it, I'm itching to play it again!
It’s so good!!
vol-cann-o
Oh my gosh I know. I was DYING when I was editing it! Why did I say it that way 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Land VS Sea is am excellent game. You gotta play with Ships/Caravans and Mountains/Corals. I would never even consider it more than a 2P game.
Agreed!!!!
I think my kids would have enjoyed this game when they were younger. I'll keep this in mind in case they start having kids of their own soon.
It is very cute for kids for sure!
This seems really similar to the old Goosebumps game from the 90's or 00's. But the tile elements and dice significantly improve the mechanisms from that game. What a fun share!
Yes!!!!🎉🎉🎉
The game looks really fun. I love the flipping tile aspect of it and the fact that the box is an element for the game itself. Very clever.
I agree!!!
please adopt me 😭
Give me the papers and I will sign them. Addy needs a mermaid sister. ❤️
Found your channel recently and with two little kiddos myself I adore the mom life vibe here :) I also love Arnak so much! Thanks for all the work you put into these!
Awww thanks so much!!! We are so glad to have you here!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for such a thorough and detailed review! I always try to carefully watch such reviews and listen to them for a “work on mistakes” in upcoming expansions. By the way, I've finished on the duel version of Aquatica and it will bring a lot of new things to the gameplay. Thanks again! Cheers, Iv.

This is a great game to teach more complicated mechanics to people who haven’t played more complicated board games. My fiancé has never played board games beside the traditional games like monopoly and life. It’s great to teach mechanics like production and turn phases.
Great point!!!!!
I know why you were scared :). Cutting boxes open is very stressful.
Yes it is 🤣🤣🤣
Genius😂😂😂
🙌🙌🙌
😂
🎉🎉🎉
I really like the theme and art direction of this game. And...that Rehearsal booklet is genius. I was figuring this might be too complex for me, but now that I saw that it's got me rethinking... 🤔 Reminds me of the starter pack in Wingspan that I have used on more than one occasion to teach that game to non-gamers. I wish more publishers would create these kinds of guides to their games. Very thorough and beautifully shot video! (Now off to check out the campaign!)
I totally agree!!!!! It is one that is honestly not complicated to play. So it’s nice that they have that to help with the teach!
At 5:08 I'm noticing that Beckham is desperately trying to tell you something about Gnome Hollow. 😂What a cute little guy! Given that I love both The Red Cathedral and The White Castle, I find that I'm becoming more and more interested in Rock Hard 1977. (Plus '77 is the year Best of My Love by the Emotions came out....great song!) I was just the 500th person to click the thumbs up for that game on the BGG Gen Con Preview list. It's the #1 most anticipated game on the list! Two games I'm curious about are Pixies (Bombyx card game currently on BGA) and Pirates of Maracaibo. Great video, as always!
OooO those are some great picks too!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This game is probably too heavy for my group, but your overview has me interested in it!
I really liked it!!
Fantastic preview, Carly!! Your B-roll and overall editing style is on point! 🤌 You're setting the bar so high! (p.s. You need a bigger table, it looks like! That main board is taking up 99.9% of your surface area!) 🤣
AWWWW THANKS DAVEEE!!!!
It's going to be hard for me to continue to be curmudgeonly watching videos like that :)
❤❤❤
Good preview! The artwork and theme is what primarily caught my attention. As a solo gamer I was wary when I heard the main mechanism was blind bidding. But David Digby has done a phenomenal job creating a solo mode that incorporates this mechanism, flows well, and simulates an actual opponent. After sampling a couple rounds on TTS, I decided to back. Have you played Darwin's Journey? I think you would enjoy the worker placement in that game as your workers become more powerful as the game goes on and you actually have the ability to craft their abilities and which worker placement spots they will be able to go to. It's really unique.
I have not played that one! I would love too!!!
If you enjoy games about decorating your home, I recommend checking out Bamboo. I haven't played it yet, but part of the game is placing tiles in your home and balancing out how amount or types of tiles on each side of the home.
Such a wonderful outro ❤
❤️❤️❤️
I'm sitting in on a session of this at GenCon! Can't wait!
I REALLY LIKED IT!!
Jenna definitely talked me into Luthier. She said it had similar elements to Trickerion, which I think is a fantastic game. Nice preview Carly.
Thanks! Yes it has Trickerion vibes!
Thank you for the bright and cheerful overview of one of our most favorite games.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your reactions are priceless....love it! 🤣 Now down to business! haha I've played Harmonies only once. I was really expecting a spark from it, but there was no spark 😕. I'm not giving up on it though cause I can see it's potential. There is just something about Cascadia that I absolutely love and will always be at the top for me! 1- Cascadia, 2- Calico, 3- Akropolis, 4- Harmonies & Aqua. I've only played Harmonies and Aqua once, so as of now they are both tied for 4th until I can give them both a fair shot of being played. Hope my list doesn't make you "slow melt" off the couch too! 😂
Bahahahahahah IT IS OKAY!! Not every game hits for everyone! I just wanted to plead my case for a bit 🤣🤣🤣
Great list, Carly!! 😀 I actually played Rock Hard: 1977 at a small local convention this last weekend. It was so much fun and very thematic....and I won! 😋 I absolutely must own Comic Hunters!! I've wanted it since hearing about it, and I'm so stoked that it is getting released here in the US!! I'm also really intrigued by Pampero ever since seeing it on display at BGG Con last year. So many great games!!
SOOOO MANY GREAT GAMES!! So fun you got to play it!!!!!
Aquatica is one that doesn't get played much much, but I will have to get the new expansion. The art is very colorful.
It’s so gooood❤️❤️❤️
I just picked up the base game last week and played my first game of it yesterday. Now I need TWO expansions? I feel like I should apologize to my wallet. I was wondering about those purple mantas, thinking I might have gotten a bad copy because they were so difficult to read. Was thinking of contacting the publisher to see about getting replacements. Oh well, so much for that! 😂😂
Bahaha I am sorry!!! Hahah! And yesssss uggg the purple mantas have ALWAYS been hard 😭😭😭 Unfortunetly 😭😭😭 They really do need to all be made again!
Another game to dive right in.
❤️❤️❤️
I see what you did there.
@daem0nfaust and for the rhyme I could say " I'm whaling for the game.. even if the word may not exist haha.
Harmonies is super fun and I don't even normally like games like this.
I really love it 😍😍😍
First time seeing one of your videos. Great picks!
Awesome! Thank you! Welcome to the channel! ❤️❤️❤️
Love seeing a young mother with a baby going HAM on geeking out of Board Games.
Awww THANK YOU!!!
This is the first time I've seen one of your videos. You and your child are simply delightful 🥰
Thank you so much!!!!
Can't wait for Kitten circle, also Comic Hunters is high on my Must buy list.
Same!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Seeing you sitting behind a table again makes it easy to forget how damn tall you are. :D Own Radlands but am finding that I much prefer Mindbug to Radlands now that I own both.
I am tall 🤣 5’8”! And I gotta check out Mindbug then!!
@@boardgame_buzzz I can't remember which play through video it was but you seemed to tower over everyone. Yeah mindbug is so good. Definitely check it out if you liked Radlands.
I own all five games and I agree om the scoring on Aqua still after, I think, 13 sessions. I don't stack the small animals by the ecosystem tiles - only the one to tell the scoring - so I would probably prefer one of each small animal to come without a point marker or maybe a backside without. This is probably the biggest hurdle - get the points by the ecosystem, not what's on the tile.While I obviously like all the games, Akropolis and Cascadia will come out as my two favorites. I like the format of comparing similar games so good idea there!
❤️❤️❤️
