In Europe, we call the ground floor just that, and the second layer would be the 1st floor. It helps with the points: 1st floor x1. 2nd floor x 2. Etc.
A great game that is so easy to learn and play! We did different variants of the base game and preferred a version where you build the stack together but in competition with each other. When we had gone through one deck of cards we shuffled them and continued on the stack. It was great, tactical fun! 🥰
Played this with a few non players last night. It was super-easy to teach and everyone enjoyed it. Thanks for the run-through. It made teaching easy. Cheers.
It seems interesting, the comments are 50/50 about this game. I personally liked it, I suppose it's more of a taste kind of thing. As always though, kudos on the nice episode guys!
22:48 ... There's the Dave heel turn!!! Well... He is Benjamin Cooke, the heel manager of Lucha Underground Champion Johnny Mundo (a.k.a Johnny Impact)
I think my family would like this game. I wonder if screens in front of each player would make it more mysterious and the endgame reveal more exciting?
I just started watching so I don't know if it gets mentioned yet but this would be quite a bit better if everyone had a player shield to hide their progress and to prevent people just copying others...because even if someone doesn't copy anyone exactly, if they get a tricky combo of numbers but someone else doesn't find it tricky, that person can just look over and be like "oh, that's a good idea", etc
what is the highest stack possible? And what would be the highest score possible? Both within the rules, so each number used only 2 times, with correct placement rules, without expansions or house rules
Awkward that the birds eye camera actually makes it a little hard to tell what's going on with the stacks at times. Still, looks like a lovely game to try at a board game cafe some time. I'm surprised with the scoring though. I'd call the "first level" the 'ground floor' and that way you know to multiply each floor by its number for scoring 🤓
I don't know what to think of this game. The idea is good, but when I'm watching this video, I'd think: "Why wouldn't I just peak at an opponent's play area when I don't know what to do next myself, especially early in the game?". My thoughts would be that this could work in a cooperative way, trying to get the highest possible score together. As a competitive game, I feel you need little screens, so the other players don't know what you're doing and can't copy your actions.
I got my copy in yesterday and used Ultra Pro 44mm*68mm Mini European sleeves (which I had lying from sleeving Robinson Crusoe). They fit perfectly, but might be like 1mm too long if you're nitpicky; but you could always trim them down a tiny bit. And when sleeved they fit perfectly snug in the insert ;) Hope this helps!
You can't influence other players at all and it takes roughly the same time no matter how many players so I think it works well with any player count: 1 -99 (as long you have extra copies)
This is the most dull game I have seen on gamenight, counting of the endgame also is boring and to complex if you ask me. it's almost more work then the game itself.

I just love these guys

Wonderful Game !!! I think everybody would like this game here in my house ! Nice video !!!

Yeah! Dave, I just noticed your crocodileish-intro now. GREAT!
Thanks for teaching us!

would it be easier if there's a score board to score the numbers once u place them?

Hope you’re still alive, I definitely agree with you about privacy screens!
1:50 I got it, Lincoln
I played along and got 87! So close!

Looks like a fun activity.
this game is easy and fun
"And your score will reflect that" Aaron ended up being right!

As a mathematician, I agree!

Dave is about to take everyone to SlamTown #LuchaUnderground
Nicki's got my tshirt! :) admittedly with a lower neckline than I went with.
Btw the line is "Base! How low can you go? death row, what a brother know"
Actually, it's "Bass! How low can you go?"
anybody know the length and width of the cards for sleeving?

anyone else got annoyed that Dave wasnt at his usual spot? :-)
I'm sorry - my bad! ^^
But I do hope you still enjoyed the episode! :-)
no problem and it was a great episode.
Reminds me of F.I.T.S. more than a little.
Does this game work well with two players?
You can't influence other players at all and it takes roughly the same time no matter how many players so I think it works well with any player count: 1 -99 (as long you have extra copies)
One set can be played up to four players. It can play solo as well.
A bit of a tease with a game that isn't available ATM. ;D
depends where. It's available where I am.
Death row. What a brother knows. :p
Aaron had only 82 and Lincoln had 68.
I think Lincoln's level three 7 was illegally placed. It looks like it stacked on only a 9.
You're right, so Lincoln's 82 is supposed to be 68
i find this game somewhat pointless. like a really shitty version of tetris. hard pass
This is a dud. Who knew they could make Tetris even more boring.
house rule, if you flip a tile it's worth 0

velorian85 just use a calculator then
