Great to see Johannes and Sunniva from Board Game ramblings on the channel. A couple of my favorites creators and nice job with an interesting and unique Q&A
Thanks for organizing this, love BGR and they know it because I leave comments on their channel all the time 🤣! Now they need to invite you on their channel and ask you 20 questions too... hopefully before they finish ditching 30% of their awesome collection.
Hi Alex, may you can make a video about "Wutaki"? It's from a small german publisher (only two people), who are doing everything on their own. It got "Pick of the week" from Shelfclutter and this campaign embodies the perfect kickstarter spirit just like Coraquest. At the moment it looks like they make it, but it's very tough between all those big fishs like root expansion, zombicide expansion, Terraforming Mars CG etc. Maybe you can help them out get a little bit more public in your next "to back or not to back". Have a good one!
I love Ragas of the Ganges, but I have found the “three different markets” space to be over powered and a sure win because it does not cost a die. You all mentioned you enjoy this game as well. Have you experienced this problem or have any advice on how to counteract this strategy?
When counting # of games in your collection, is that unique games or does that number count expansions? For example, would Everdell plus expansions be one game or four games?
Clip Art is NOT bad in TM, it's extremely thematic. With this kind of art, I feel like I'm CEO of a corporation working with project presentations not looking at some artist's drawings on a given theme. Art in Ares Expedition makes it more abstracted and game-like because, yeah, we all know every card needs some beautiful picture from some professional artist. By the way, for example, I remember a lot of pictures in TM but not at all in Race for the Galaxy, and I play a lot of both games. Why? Because of a thematic sense.
My one and only game (so far) of Terraforming Mars was deeply marred by two things: a really bad teach and the art. The graphic design is fine, but so much of the art felt mismatched and basically like placeholder images. I kept expecting to see a Getty Images watermark and it was very distracting. I was surprised that new art wasn't part of the big box KS campaign, but I guess at this point people have fallen in love with it's quirky art style. Perhaps we could call it board game kitsch. Still I throughly intend to give this game a second chance, as soon as someone brings it to the table.
@@modemacabre But Getty stock images make a total thematic sense if you think about it. As a person who did a lot of presentations in real life, I really dig stock images style, it really enchances the scientific/financial feel of the game. Why people are so into cliche conventions of what "good art" should mean in board games?
Looks like you have discovered a new series of videos. This was amaZing, and you need to do this with other content creators. Especially, smaller content creators like Think and Themer

I'll likely be covering it this Monday :)

Agreed, I do find it's too strong if no one else is trying to go there. Not obviously so, but a little bit.
Always enjoy these collaborations with others.
I just found bgr because of their boardgames leaving the collection series! Now going to watch this video for some quite me time :)
That is awesome to hear! We are playing hard to get all those games played during the year!
BoardGamingRamblings is great!
I know right!

For me it's unique games.
This was a fun conversation.
Thanks!
great video with great non-standard questions
It was a lot of fun!

I love TM card art, no sarcasm. I'm pretty sure that if it wasn't that realistic, I would pass on it.

What's going on with the board game names being backwards?! I can't take my eyes off of them!
Lol likely a zoom issue
4 ads in 8 minutes, that's crazy! That's 20 ad breaks across the course of the video... no thanks!
Apologies, CZcams sets automatically and I usually change them, I forgot to do that here.
@@BoardGameCo no worries Alex, just glad it's not a new format 🙂
