Who would've thought a mixture of Guy Ritchie + Board game review would be so delightful? I also like the soft tone, makes it a relaxing watch. Subbed! Great review. :)
A gentle and insightful reviewer. Proper channel, this. It's just that his accent is so bad-ass that it's like at any moment he's going to pull a Jason Statham.
Nice review. Still my favourite game of all time. It's a tight design, limited options means to win you really need to think. Don't think Rosenberg ever made a better game. Hundreds of replays
The flexibility in player count can't be overstated. Get this game even if you're only ever going to play it alone. It should also be known that this game is *challenging*. Getting a high score in this game feels like a genuine accomplishment.
@@BoardGameBollocks I've looked at videos of that, theme wise it really doesn't do it for me, same with stone age. Do you think this would be to much as a first game of this style?
Tbh yes mate it’s not complex but it’s more complex than others.The D&D theme isn’t really prevalent in Lords of Waterdeep, but the game itself is excellent. I’ve done a top 10 worker placement games video a while ago so maybe have a look at that. What sort of theme are you looking for?
@@BoardGameBollocks I'll definitely check that out. I don't really know I'm fairly open to suggestions, I'm a country boy at heart so the farming kinda clicks with me, I guess something close to nature maybe. Perhaps I'll give Lords of the water deep another look.
We've owned this game (current printing) for many years, own all the expansions and have upgraded all the components. Of the several hundred games we've played over some ten years, this game is a masterpiece.
Still love this game, and the cards are the key, although a random deal can indeed screw someone. Drafting is ideal, but as you say it takes time - potentially a LOT of time. A popular compromise is the “10-3” method: deal 10 per player, each discards 3. Takes much less time, yet provides at least some degree of control.

Thanks for the kind words mate...👍

Haha 😂
just ordered this today based on Matts feedback. Looking forward to it
It's like being told to like it or you better watch your back by Vinnie Jones.
Subbed, thank you for this review.
I’ve been wondering about getting this game for so long. Good to know that it’s still worth getting!

Love this game. I just can't get tired of it, and I don't think it's too stresful like many are saying
It’s a nice kind of stress...want to do everything but can’t.
Watching this again, I'm thinking this may well be my first worker placement game.
Could be. Lord of Waterdeep may be easier.

Pillars of the Earth is an excellent entry level WP game.

Good idea mate...will use that next time 👏🏻
My favourite Euro💙
Definitely. I love agricola. Caverna is good, but agricola will always be the ultimate game for me
Worth? What an odd word.
Why?
