Always interesting to see how you cultivate your collection! I look forward to the next video.
I appreciate it, thank you! 😊
Very curious about space empires 4x. Keep the great quest for your perfect collection
Thank you William, I will try to create content for Space Empires 4X as soon as possible
You actually also have Blood Rage on your shelf which is from CMON, which is an amazing game!
You're absolutely right and I forgot about it hahaha
Great pick with Dutch Resistance, it's the game that's really tempting me this week! Like you said, I think it's important to support indie creators when we can.
Thanks for commenting Carlos :)
I'm glad your eye caught Dutch Resistance as well
Quite relatable, with limited shelf space (and budget) I've gone for a 'one in, one out' approach with my collection
In my opinion that's the best way to keep your board game collection trimmed and having really only the best of the best (in a personal kind of way, of course..)
Thanks for the giveaway as always!
I'm really curious about the solo mode for war of arrakis, i don't usually like these type of bots so i'll wait for your impressions.
That's a very good idea for a video..
So I'll get on it asap :)
Thank you 😊
Awesome selection of games that are on the out, that only means the game that is in are even better
Lets hope for exactly that 🤩
I'll check it out as soon as possible
La Granja has always looked amazing to me. I have not played it though. I didn't know much about Dune, but have recently watched the movies and read a couple of the books.... Now war for Arakkis looks like something I hope to get one day. Just can't justify the price for me personally.
Oh I totally hear you.. I saw this game being sold second hand for 350-400$ which is CRAZY!! So I guess half of it is not that bad.
I hope you'll get La Granja and thank you for watching and commenting :)
I have been wanting to try Dune for such a long time, I’m thinking I might back the new campaign and desert war expansion. You’re going to love Nemesis such a thematic game that keeps you on the edge of your seat! Keep up the great work! 😄
So happy to hear that I've made some right choices haha
I have Dune on my table now ready tobe learned ;)
Dune war for arrakis box really makes me want see what this game is about...also im so happy for the 1.5k man! you deserve it!
It contains really beautiful material. Hopefully, a good game aswell ;)
Like how you phase in and phase out games ❤
Super nice of you.. thank you 🥰🥰
Still crushing my man, keep it up! Excited to see some coverage on SE4X and that Dune big box looks great, would love see what your thoughts are.
Thank you! 😊😊
I need to get those games to the table as soon as possible.
Right now U'm learning Twilight Struggle so I hope that's a good entry level game into GMT Games
I actually got my name in the rulebook for Orange Shall Overcome for helping to playtest haha. It’s a good one with a great unique theme.
Oh cool that's awesome!
Playtesting is quite the task indeed..
Thanks for the giveaway! Ive always wanted to try the Stardew Valley Board Game because I love the video game I just haven't had a chance yet!
Then I think you might like the board game as well 🤩
Oh man, I am so excited to see coverage on Space Empires! I've been wanting to pull the trigger on that series but never have. We'll see if you can sway me!
On the topic of backing games, have you had a chance to check out Cysmic? If not, check it out! It might be up your alley!
It seems that all roads lead for me doing a how to play for Space Empires.. Jesus lol
I have checked Cysmic from the first time they got funded and decided NOT to release the game because they wanted more. Left a sour taste in my mouth, you know what I mean?
Also, the price is quite high EVEN for a good production value. Hard for me to justify such an expense now, but we'll see what happens in the 2nd hand market.
Thanks for watching the video, I appreciate it 😊
@@ezbgames Oh I didn't know that about Cysmic! Pays to do research, I guess!
@@lmedved5000 It's just because I was interested last time and I followed it. It was very expensive then also
La Granja with dice drafting would be a major hit at my house!
Well, you're on the list so there is a chance 😊🤞🏽
I love Risk! Also love La Granja! You are a man with a great taste in board games 😂
Lol!! Thank you :)
Crossing fingers for you 🤞🏽😊
I personally really enjoyed Nemesis, altough it is indeed extremely punishing 😅 Hope you'll like it aswell! As a fan of the Alien movies I might be a bit biased though 😂Thanks for the video and the giveaway! I'll cross my fingers for La granja 🐄
Ridley Scott did some good movies with that theme I totally agree..
Crossing fingers for you 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
Hi Asaf ! Great video as always :) I'm looking for a chill game to just relax after work and Stardew Valley may be just what I need :D Thanks for showing it !
Sounds exactly like what you need, I agree 100%
Crossing fingers and thank you 😊
Nemesis has been on my list to try for a while now. Though I may wait for the latest one to come out as it sounds like my favorite
If I got it correctly, in the last episode you're playing like a groupe of soldiers coming to clean up some aliens.. and I personally prefer the scenario of clueless people trying to survive them.
I might be wrong though
I'm right there with you about Nemesis.
But looking for MMH to have it back in stock...
I'm glad I made the right decision with Nemesis..
I like your taste in games, La Granja sounds like a Game you would keep, am surprised for it to leave
I just feel that I don't need another farming theme board game because I have Hallertau and Fields of Arle that I prefer.
But La Granja is a good game on its own for sure 👌🏽
With 3 plays, dune war for arrakis is definately on my top3 2player games!
Then I guess I did the right choice! 🤩
Thank you for this 😊😊
thanks! these are quite heavy games , literally
That's true 😅
Thanks for the video! La granja is definitely on my wishlist.
Noted Mariam 😊😊
Thanks for another giveaway! Awesome channel!
With pleasure and thank YOU for sticking around 😊
Well picked 🎉 I have no game with a farming themen in my collection yet.
I hope the 1st one will come soon! 🤩😊
Enjoy your new games! Great picks!
I previously owned Stardew Valley. We played it twice with my wife. (That's my personal opinion) The first few rounds were fun, but it became repetitive and it's suuuuppppeeeerrr lucky! (although, sometimes it leads to unpredictable and funny outcomes)
Conversely, the game is adorable and very thematic, especially for people who are fans of the PC game.
Hope it will find its lucky winner.
Wish everyone good luck with the giveaway contest.
Thank's for doing it again Asaf!
You said it buddy!
That's exaxtly how I felt with Stardew Valley..
The pleasure is all mine and thanks for watching the video 😊
Hey EZ also I have now been playing a few games of Company Of Heroes 2E and OH MY GOD it may just be the best game I have ever played! It's amazing at 1vs1 and 2vs2 and the mechanics and ruleset are just sublime with the changes they made in 2E. It is tense and exciting from beginning to end with such a lot of juicy strategy and tactics and everyone I have played it with can't stop thinking about it. It may well equal Forbidden Stars to become my joint No. 1 game of all time. Seriously.
I TOTALLY get what you're saying..
CoH 2E is just a candy both for the eye and the soul 😅
I love it and can't wait for the physical copy to arrive! I will cover it in a few videos of course.
It is in my top 5 and doesn't seem it will go anywhere any time soon.
Cool video as always! Keep up the good work!
Thank you 😊😊
I love Dune as a theme, so might get your new game one day! I got Imperium and love it. I know it's not close when talking about gameplay, but still :)
Dune is a super cool theme I'm with yoj on that! 😊
I don't know if you knew Dune: War for Arrakis are from the same designers than War of the Ring. It's my new fav game of the last year and fractal is close behind. Great vid ++
Ohhhh I had no idea!!! That's already earning a few points with me 😮🤩
Ohhhh Fractal... I have to get it back to the table.
Thank you so much ❤
@@ezbgames I played Fractal and oh man it was so dull... the guy who bought it also sold it soon after without even giving it a second play. The mass of iconography is confusing and It was visually and mechanically really nothing special.
@@somerandomperson8282 I do need to bring Fractal to the table one more time, but I'll probably agree. It didn't give me any feeling of playing it again. I had high hopes for this one, but at the end I just prefer to play different things
Still debating moving D:WfA out. Let us know what you think!
Will do! I'll try to create content for it asap
WOO
Hopefully next time 😊
Space Empires 4x should come with this text on the box:
Warning, this game can ruin your social life, have you lose your employment and fuse you with your chair. It also carries the potential to cause severe cases of tourette and make random objects to randomly take flight and crash into walls. Also, tokens, tokens, tokens, tokens, tokens, tokens, tokens....
My recommendation for crowd funding at the moment is:
The Thinning Veil - Cormac Mac Airt on the Other Side of Midnight
Yes, that is the game's name. 🤷🏻♂️
Edit: I pass on the giveaway.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's hilarious hahaha
Is that game so complicated? Or so tough to manage?
I'll check your recommendation for the crowd funding.. thank you for commenting!
Et viens me visiter stp a Paris 🤩
@@ezbgames If you hate tokens, many many tokens, square ones with small prints and information overload or if you are color blind, you might have have found your own personal hell.
If you like upper-medium complex but super deep and widely open tactical and strategic gameplay with an emphasis on memory and quick mental arithmetic, that can stretch on time wise, you will be in absolute heaven.
I'll be in France somewhen in October. Not sure if I will hit Paris. Since I live in Berlin, for a large part, and Paris is like Berlin, just worse, it isn't one of my "I really have to hit it again" places. 🥴
@@Biodelic oh wow! you really know this game, huh? okay I'll check it out as quickly as possible.
haha "like Berlin but worse"- I';; remember that ;)
Lets see where you'll land in October and see how we can have a game night
@@ezbgames I will be hanging out in Argelès-sur-Mer at a friend's place. He has a gigantic board and wargame game collection. Maybe that would be motivation for you to come down south for a couple of days. 😁
@@Biodelic that does motivate me indeed!
Heard great things about La Granja but havent tried myself.
I hope you'll get a chance to check it out😊
I’m actually so excited to play La Granja at some point (whether or not it’s this copy haha)
And I truly hope you'll like it! 🤩
If you like Nemesis but you might find more satisfying killing other olayer rather than monsters, you will need to play Stationfall.
Big disclaimer: it could look at first a big party game but it is actually much more deep than that.
That's a good advice to be honest. I'll check it out 😊
I have been tempted to get Stardew Valley on Switch, but i know i will spent and unhealthy amount on it lol Def more open to the board game! 😀
I think you're making the right decision my friend.. 😅
I should start refining my collection aswell 😅
You have no idea how good that feels to keep a trimmed collection.. only the best of the best
Now that you’ve finally found some winners on your hunt for farming games, are there any other themes that you want to explore and evaluate in the same way?
Such a good question.. thank you!
I need to do a 2nd video for 4X games and see what has changed since last year.
I might want to find a good civilization game? What do you think? Do you have some recommendations for me?
Still the best gaming channel
You're too kind my friend ❤
You did well getting first Nemesis! I loved that game the - sadly - only time i played it. Don't own it myself, and I've played lockdown a few times since - but frankly i found the electricity mechanic in Lockdown really annoying. The first nemesis was a great, solid game - and i think the two "re-makes" of it (now they're making a third one... raised a wild $15m on kickstarter, but you prob alreayd know that) - well i think those are just business moves to milk the franchise. Not bad games by any means, but i think the first was def best!
btw - I hear you're gonna be reviewing UltraMassive sometime soon ah? Glad to hear and looking fwd to that! I played with Alex again recently, he changed some stuff - it was fun!
My own game has undergone huge changes also since you last saw it - a lot is streamlined now, it's still very much the same concept but very different gameplay now - well, every day it's getting closer but I'm still working out the kinks before i bother you with it again hehe.
ANyways, hope you're doing well buddy!
So good to hear from you!! 🤩
Yes, they made a nice amount of money from these games, but what's the difference between this one and another Marvel movie for example? They're just giving the people what they're asking for.
Not to talk about another zombie game from another company haha
For Ultramassive, I'm not going to review it (I never review games I get for free) but I will do a how-to-play video, yes :)
I can't wait to see the changes you've made in your game and to playtest it again 😊😊
How is Heroes of Might & Magic for you? Liking it?
@@ezbgames I wasn't criticizing nemesis - it made sense to release sequels, in their place i probably would also do the same - and the sequels still are good games - i just think the first was still the best, so you chose well ;)
I actually just did a playtest of the new version of my game last night, with Alex and another friend - like i said i think the game flows way better now, it's really different than before, the turns are much faster, a lot of the same concepts from before are still there - but they now serve different/simpler purposes, and the whole game now is effectively about a number of ticking clocks that are all pushing us to act and if we don't act fast enough, then bad things happen - but still a few things that i thought were gonna be simple/fun/useful - were not quite. So i'll do few more tweaks and will invite you for the next revision's play test in few weeks if you're up for it. I'm quite excited for the game, but also I won't lie - nearly a year later, i'm just dreaming of wrapping that project up already haha. It's closer every day - but still needs a bit more work.
About Heroes - I started painting the minis. I never in my life painted anything or don't even think i owned a single mini - but for the sake of nostalgia (Heroes3 is my childhood) i delved deep into mini painting with all those figurines. A little voice in my heads screams at me over how nerdy and time-consuming it is heh - but on the other hand I've really enjoyed it. Between two work-heavy long term projects now (my board game and a completely unrelated movie project I've been working on in Syria in the last year) - I'm constantly working on something with no clear end in sight now so painting the minis in last weeks has become like a little meditation break from work hehe.
I am intrigued by Dune: War for Arrakis. It looks so good but I don't know how much time I'd have for it... I'll do a little more research. Thanks for the video!
With pleasure, and I'll try to create content for it as soon as possible
Hello!
In case you haven't seen the new video, you won the free giveaway! congrats :)
Please contact me via mail to tell me your address so I can send you either La Granja or Stardew Valley
@@ezbgames Seriously?? That's awesome, I'll head over to the video to check it out. :)
No problem :)
Please contact my email that is listed in my youtube bio, so you can tell me which game you would like and your address 😊
@@ezbgames Just sent an email a little while ago. Just let me know if there are any issues. Thanks!
I haven't heard much about the CMON Dune game yet.
🧐
I've heard quite a lot and all of it was excellent. I don't know.. usually I don't pay much attention to their games, but this one has an incredible table presence and it looks interesting. So... why not..? you know? :)
I recently discovered your channel, and I really enjoy it!! Your explanations of how to play are excellent!
That's just super nice of you.. thank you!
I'll have a few more of these during June 😊
Any specific game(s) you would like me to cover on the channel?
@@ezbgames
Lords of hellas
Horizon zero dawn
Deep rock galactic
Tiny epic series
And more :)
🤩
Haha besides Ultra Tiny Epic Galaxies I have nothing of this list, but I will see what I can do ;)
@@ezbgames I understood that there are unofficial rules for solo mod for northgard.. maybe you should research and learn it :)
Adding it to the list.
Deal!
Thanks for the vid and giveaway!
My pleasure :)
I am sad to see SV go. We just played it yesterday for the second time. The first time we totally lost 😂 but at three players, we were much more efficient and we finished in the first round of winter.
Also, you might need to do it updated 4X video because there's going to be a big Star Trek announcement tomorrow. Are you excited for it?
That's exactly the thing.. you need to play with most, if not all, characters in krder to win. So I'd say it's not well balanced..?
I am definitely going to do another 4X video very soon because there are a lot of new things out there innthe last year. It's one of my next videos for sure!
I've been interested by La Granja for a while, but I get why you wouldn't want to keep too many farm games.
The new acquisitions all look amazing! I'm intrigued to hear what you think about them. Also, I was wondering if you generally find your second-hand games in local stores or online? I generally find them locally, I look on BGG and Okkazeo but I haven't found that many good options (due to shipping, etc.) - except for Star Wars Imperial Assault, happy I got that one!
So happy you commented :)
Well, I think 100% of the games I buy second hand are on line. Okkazeo is a super good website if you put the alert on time and you know the prices you want to get. Sometimes you can get some interesting deals on Leboncoin and also of course BGG.. Where do you find your games locally? I would love to find a place ☺
@@ezbgames I currently live in Switzerland and I recently went to different local stores around me to check what they have, and it turns out one of them has a "consignment shelf" where you can leave your games and they display them to try to sell them for 6 months.
I recently got Merchant's Cove with all expansions (additional characters), it was around the price of just the base game and it turns out I really like it, so I'll probably visit again soon.
They currently have some games I want to try like Twilight Imperium and This War of Mine, but I try not to go too crazy :) And if something looks good but I'm not familiar with it, I try to watch videos before I actually purchase it.
Thanks for the tip on the alert on Okkazeo, I'll try that! And I didn't think of Le Bon Coin, will check it as well since my parents still live in France
@@denaiir4775 That's very cool to find a game with all the expansions for the price of just the base game. A few videos ago I did a review for This War of Mine and I got to tell you that this is an AMAZING game! I think you won't regret taking it. TI4 is a bit of a different story.. it shines with larger groups and take basically a whole day to finish. I would say that everyone should play at least once, but I don't know if someone should own it..
Risk my first modern board game, still have it ahahaaaaha🤣
Have the Space Empires 4X in my shelf still waiting for me... My concern with this one is the "Civ flow"... because that seems you are really constructing a civilization very slowly and then after a while you get the good meat (fights!!!)... when normally I prefer a more early confrontation style of game (Exodus Proxima Centauri/Ecplise (and god I hate Eclipse 😡) )...
Maybe it's my perspective but I'm dying to play it 😅
The Dune... oh boy I'm trying to get it so bad!!! I love Star Wars Rebellion and War of the Ring and Dune are getting a lot of amazing feedback and just like the LOTR I love the books 🥲
About CMON... Don't be mean to the Blood Rage it has the CMON old logo but it's still a CMON title ahahaahahah
Amazing collection keep strong!
Hahahaha oh my God I totally missed that I have Blood Rage aswell lol!!
I would try to do content for Dune as quickly as possible.
I'm a bit nervous about Space Empires. I'm not leaening Twilight Struggle and... even though this game seems simple, the rulebook is not the most friendly. But we'll see 😊
Thank you for always commenting my friend. I truly appreciate it ❤
@@ezbgames I will be waiting for you review/opinion about Dune 😁
I think Space Empires has the potential to be in my top 3 4x style games but we will see.
Thank you for your videos! Have a good week!
You too buddy 😊
I'd rather have Stardew Valley. What is your shipping policy for the giveaway?
Space Empires seems to tell good stories. Do try it against the doomsday machine.
My shipping policy is "give me your address and I'll ship it for free" (otherwise it's not a gift, right? 😉)
I'm learning now Twilight Struggle and hopefully that will ease up other GMT games :)
Another giveaway already? Crazy! Thank You for your video about Europa Universalis. I played it with 2 friends and I was soooo mad. I really want to like it. It has everything. But it is way way way to complex and just not a pleasent experience. I will pass on the upcoming Gamefound. Hopefully.
Any chance for more Voidfall or StarCraft content?
Right?! Will you belive me if I tell you that I still in the process of playing a game for about.... 2 months now?? Every session some new rules are introduced lol
This game has everything! Besides normal streamlined rules ;)
I have 6 videos in total for Voidfall ;)
Tell me what would you like to see for Starcraft! 🤩
I should do something to honor this game
@@ezbgames Oh, I am so sorry for the delay!
Maybe play a hard scenario or something like that? Rank your favorite houses? :) And I did not realize you had 6 videos all ready -_-
And for StarCraft I somehow thought, that You had the Expansion. Oops.
@@Gainward123456 Oh I totally I have the expansion for Starcraft.. Maybe I should do a video for that as well. Good idea!
And for Voidfall- I hear you. I'll do my best!
Right now I'm working on a video for Dune War for Arrakis :)
thank you sir do u ship intl ? 😊 surely the winner will enjoy
Yes I do.
Free delivery anywhere in the world
Where's the link to your Patreon?
Haha no link.. it's here on CZcams ;)
100 games only is .. wow. Commitment 🤣
Hahaha you got stop somewhere 🤣
Space Empires 4x is a unique but realllyyyy ugly game, which has basically remained unchanged in looks since GMT first made it, which I think is really a shame. They have now changed the cover art on the boxes but all the in-game art and components are still fugly as hell. There is a new and final expansion called "All good things" soon to be released which you can find on GMT's website. I ordered everything but I honestly don't know if it will make it to the table very often.
I'm happy someone is backing me on the art thing!
I guess we'd have to find a way to make it more beautiful.. but I'd need to learn this game first 😬
Oh and I forgot to mention that 3D printing or buying organizers is ESSENTIAL for this game, do not even try to play for the first time without them because organizing the tiles for setup each time without organizers takes freaking ages. Seriously.
Damn..
Okay I guess I'll try to find some on Etsy or something.. :/
