This is one of htose card games where you really wonder why no one thought of it before. bravo, man. one of the best 2-player games in print.
Hey man, just want to say me and my partner have been playing this a lot this past week and we think you've made an absolutely fantastic game. We love it!
Good job man.
The art style caught my eye, the theme piqued my curiosity, the gameplay engaged a proper good game night. Well-designed and well-explained.
We just discovered this game, it’s great! A nice fun game that we intended to use to kill 15 mins, but find ourselves blown an hour playing many games!
Hey John! Thank you for the tutorial! I bought the game for Christmas so I can play with my brother when we are at lunch break at the office! 😄
I finally got my copy of AL&S this week. I've been after it since I first got into 'board gaming' during the lockdown. Such a great card game!! Can't wait to see what else you come up with!
freaking bonkers good game. SO tight, SO crunchy, SO dense. The vastness of the decision tree for a round where you only have 6 cards each out of a possible 18 seems to violate some kind of law of nature.
even the Back of the card is used😮thats epic and opens up SO many possibilities in my head😊thank you for that idea
Brilliant card game! I'm curious what other games you will design in the future!
Thank you!
Just watched it and played with my stepson. Wow. So light and so wonderful! I bought this many many months ago after watching shut up and sit down.
This looks fun, time to grab a copy. Thanks!
Wow! Very refreshing and different. Thank you for creating this game.
Just bought this today. Can’t wait to play!
Just bought the game. Can't wait to play. Shut up and sit down reviews were extremely positive !
Just picked up a copy of this as I'm a huge fan of your game Time Barons! Still hoping to see another expansion released for it!
Awesome, I hope you enjoy it! I can't promise anything right now, but I would also like to see Time Barons get some new life some day...
this is nothing short of amazing ... given the card count...bravo!
I love that you designed this to play with your wife 😊💜 my husband and I are playing on Valentine’s Day 😁
This indeed one of the best 2 player only game I’ve played! 😎🙌
I just purchased this, can't wait to play it!...♥️
Thank you. Just got the game and this video was great.
This is a neatly designed game. Thank you sir!
Such a lovely games. We take it pretty much everywhere we travel. Thank you for bringing it into our lives. /manhug
Marvel Snap designers definitely played this. 👍
Clever design, putting this on my to get list.
Very fun game congratulations love it!!
Grabbed a copy after Board Game Barrage brought it up. Can't wait to try it out!
Which episode did they mention it in?
Thank you for such a great game
Simple game but fun. It even has strategy.
Jon, this game is an absolute blast to play. I didn't expect it to be so crunchy (in the best way possible).
One question though - did you consider swapping the retreat values for player 1 and player 2? Right now player 2 loses ties AND has less favourable retreat conditions. What's the reasoning behind this design decision? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
Glad you like it! Player 2 gets the last move of the game. This is a huge advantage, as you get to make your final decision with complete information about the board state. So that is why P2 loses ties. That is also why the retreat values are the way they are. I want both players to have a tough decision regarding a 4->6 point jump near the end of the battle. But this decision would be meaningless for P2 if it aligned with their very last card where they have total information.
@@jonperry this makes total sense, thank you for your answerJon. Yesterday I showed AL&S to my friend and he wanted to play it over and over again, this thing is just addictive ;). This is the best 2 player micro-game I've ever played so far, a brilliant design. Great job, Sir.
Oh snap! Lol interested in seeing how the mechanics of this game influenced Marvel Snap.
If the blockade card is played in the center row, and one of the rows next to it has 3 or more cards, this means a card played in the center row would be destroyed correct? Or is it that Only the lanes adjacent to the blockade card would be effected? Brilliant game by the way! Any help would be greatly appreciated to settle a big argument!
Only adjacent theaters. Blockade never affects the theater it is in.
I hope I can get an answer Jon, as I really enjoyed your game, its a ton of fun and is surprisingly deep for its simplicity. When an ability card is flipped face up after it was first played face down, dies the ability go off? Additionally, if I play a card face down in a theater it doesn't belong in, if its flipped face up, is it discarded or does it stay?
Hi there, thanks for playing! Yes, abilities trigger when cards are flipped faceup. Page 7 of the rulebook says "Instant Abilities: These take effect immediately after the Battle card is played or if the card is reealed by being flipped faceup." And no, cards in the wrong theater do not get discarded. This is addressed on page 8 of the rulebook under the "Cards in Non-Matching Theaters" heading.
@@jonperry Thank you for the response! That was a ton of help. Me and my friends have really been enjoying your game. I look forward to other projects of yours.
Hi Jon, thank you for your creativity in making this excellent game. It's a delightful strategic and tactical game! I looked up your other games and am considering printing out the Time Barons one, which also looks really good :) But in terms of Air, Land, and Sea (or the Critters version, which I own), I have an idea for you. Would you consider the possibility of making an extra promo theatre (or an expansion would be even better). One possibility for an extra promo theatre could be Scientific Research or simply Research. Just wanted to put it out there and see if you are open to the idea. Thanks again!
Happy to hear you're enjoying my game! I'd say a second standalone expansion with three more theaters is very likely, and if all goes according to plan, one of the theaters will be very similar to what you're describing...
@@jonperry That is very good news! Another random thought-have you ever considered changing the theme of time barons to make it a little friendlier (similar to the criterification of ALS?)
@@jonperry also, can I post your reply on BGG?
@@Flicky669 Sure you can post it on BGG
My son and I love the game! We are both into history and he was wondering if the game was inspired by WW2?
Glad you both enjoy the game! And yes, the theme on this edition was definitely inspired by the World War 2 era.
Excellent tutorial. Question are all tactics always in play even if they are covered? And looking at the rules am I to understand that a cars that bus covered can never be flipped? For example I play a wild card on sea theater, then cover that card, then it means I can never flip that wild because it's covered?
Whether a card is covered or not has no bearing on whether that card's tactical ability is active.
However, covered cards can never be flipped by another card's ability.
@@jonperry Ahh, so covered cards are "protected" I've seen videos where covered cards get flipped by certain tactics. Im glad this is corrected. And to be clear, all tactics are in play unless the card was flipped and the only thing that nullifies a tactic is another tactic, and if the card was flipped to its wild side. Question: Is the same true with a flipped card that is covered? It cannot be flipped back to its tactics side?
@@BLDTHEGAMER Covered cards can never be flipped under any circumstance and it makes no difference if that card is facedown or faceup. Note that this is the ONLY special rule about covered cards. Covered cards still have active powers, can be moved, returned to a player's hand, etc etc.
@jonperry thank you very much.
Hey, Jon. I see there are two different versions on Amazon. What's the difference between the revised version and the original?
I summarized all the differences here: www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/2585647/what-expect-revised-edition
Good job
Man you are lowkey genius.
When playing sea card ‘1’ (Transport) and using ability ‘you may move 1 of your cards to a different theatre’ would that card’s ability trigger again after being moved?
No it would not retrigger the ability.
@@jonperrythanks for the quick reply. Just bought spies, lies and supplies and looking forward to playing it and combing with original. Thanks for designing an easy, quick yet intriguing game.
you can't flip a covered card, but can you move a covered card based on a tactical ability?
Yes, you can move a covered card.
Can a card be flipped multiple times?
Yes it can!
Expansion idea. Politics and economy theater
Your idea is already in production and will be available sometime this year!
Do a French version pleaseeee 🙏🏻
Did you play “snap” is the same game but Marvel themed, if this is really your mechanic I hope they gave you 💰
Did the creators of the new game Marvel Snap pay you royalties? They copied your game 1:1
