    So glad to see this game getting attention! A ton of this game is about interpretation. I totally understand your concern with lack of explanation in there. I felt the same way when I looked into the game, but as I experimented with it I found that giving your own explanations to things can really boost the narrative in your campaign. If you back yourself into some sort of plot hole, you have more freedom to work a concept into the game that helps you out a bit. Great video!

      Yeah, as I said It seems like a game where a lot of its qualities become more evident as you play it.

    This is the best troika review / explanation of the rules online IMO. Thank you

    Best review of this game I've found by far, cheers! I enjoyed the dispirited approach to the world of making CZcams videos as well. Refreshing.

    Excellent review! I really appreciated the way you showed how combat works.

    This is the kind of review I like. It covers the mechanics and some of the implications of those mechanics. Much better than most reviews out there which are just "I like it!"

    Very concise explanation of this truly strange little game. I find myself wondering about one thing though. Did you get to choose to have a pillbox hat, or was that randomly assigned equipment from some chart result?

    • @zigmenthotep
      @zigmenthotep  Před 3 lety +2

      Neither, it's a standard piece of equipment for the sceptical lamassu.

      @@zigmenthotep Ah, I should have know. Lamassu are noted for their millinery fashion sense after all.
