    • @mrscruffy8045
      @mrscruffy8045 Před 4 lety

      Yeah, i mean, i never played this game, but from the review, i am left with the impression, that it is about making like 2 choices each turn and doing a lot of multiplications before, during and after each time you made these decisions. When your game requires a calculator (or an on paper-version of it), well, i dunno... and before you can even start to crunch the numbers, you first have to collect them.
      The art seems very nice in style and execution and i can see, how some fun can be had from that alone, when it´s done this good. But still: If the game works anywhere close to how i imagine it, some IT-lab theme would have been probably more fitting to the mechanics. As is, it seems to me to be mostly sort of a trick, to get people to play (and possibly enjoy) this game, who would otherwise not touch a board-control-game involving lots of math (like, say, a less colourfull war game with armies instead of bunnies and complicated combat mechanics with lots of stats).

  • @howardgreenwich490

    My 10 year old daughter ADORES this game and we play it at least once a week. She picked up quickly on the evil part, taking things away from me in the draft and chuckling about it. She always shows me which cards after the game is over. Your review is spot on - as a two person drafting game, its brutal and decision-making is excruciating. As much as it looks like there is no luck involved, there is - each of the many strategies to winning depends on getting the right cards, sometimes THE right card, and that depends on their sequence in the deck. Still, I think Bunny Kingdom is more interesting and strategic than Ticket to Ride, arguably the most popular of the family strategy games.

    • @friedrichschumann740
      @friedrichschumann740 Před 4 lety

      How by any means is a random sequence in a deck not luck involved? Well, unless all the cards are laid out open in sequence - which they have to be since no luck is involved.

      @@friedrichschumann740 I could be wrong here, but I think what he means is that the random variables do not determine the winner of the game. Rather they create a need to adapt to the situation best to thwart your opponent and maximize your own gains. Thus the game is uses variance quite extensively but that does not inherently create a luck driven game.

    Loved this review! Informative, funny, it had drama, it had enough costume budget to make Cats jealous, and your editing and lighting is always on point (I feel like it doesn't get enough recognition).
    About the game though, I also think it's not really a fit for me, and I find it hard to find who it could be for. It's not enough for my dedicated gaming group, but is too much for my family. I think it may fit on gamer groups who like meatier stuff but don't want to sit there for 3 hours with a heavy brain burner while still feeling somewhat engaged, but that's a rather specific venn diagram.

    My wife and I picked up this game around Christmas after seeing this video and oh my word. It is awesome. The two player version makes the game more cutthroat than a full Monopoly game. We typically love cooperative games and story ones like Call to Adventure the most so it was a surprise to enjoy this as much as we did. I feel like the simplicity helps mitigate it somewhat. We just got my dad to play it too with us and he loved (and crushed us) it. Definitely a keeper. The art style is just lovely throughout too. Expansion is on the list to get!

    Hmm whats that piano tune at 17:08? John Vervaeke has that as his channel theme (examining the meaning crisis, which you all should watch)

    Oh damn, I recognise that music from the end (the "If you love something you have to let it go") bit but I can't place it D:

    We just started playing games like Hero Quest, Dungeon and Star Trek Panic with my 10 year old niece(we're slowly working up to the Doom board game). She's working on her math skills so this should be a great game that is fun and educational. That's a rare thing. Going to buy it due to your review and Dice Tower talking about it as well.

    I don't think I'll ever be able to play Gymnopedie no.1 without thinking of fortified bunny castles now
