    Glad to see this is an objective based game. I tend to like objective based games rather than summing victory points with my victory points calculator.

    I gladly pass on this, although I grew up with MotU miniatures and the original TV series,
    and not just because of the ridiculous region-restricted licensing.
    I think both games don't do enough justice to the MotU theme!
    The cash-grab feel is too strong.

    Thanks for the review. I went all in on Conan, which a 1 vs. many game and is pretty similar. I worry this would compete in the same space, and I'd rather just play Conan.

    I can’t wait to play this with my kids the Kickstarter has been such a blast thus far.
    Based on what I’ve seen so far, the gameplay and the IP, this will easily be our household’s most played game.

    board may look bland, but with the 3d terrain (yeah its coming) it will help make the board look better. This game has 6 year old me very giddy. going all in on this and sticking to it. thanks for this review Alex!

    Thanks for this video Alex. I am still uncertain about backing this one. I already own Conan and Batman: Gotham City Chronicles so Masters of the Universe must be phenomenal before I will back it.

    Is it difficult to control multiple characters when it's a 1v1 game? I find that when games are designed for someone to control one character at high player counts, it becomes difficult to control (a lot to manage) multiple characters at lower player counts.

    This one is an easy pass for me - I have no nostalgia for He-Man and am lukewarm on the IP in general. That upcoming cyberpunk game though...

    Thanks for the review Alex. I'm unsure about backing.
    Is 1 vs. 3 the 2nd best player count?
    Is the transfer of energy from players to controller balanced?
    What is the your favorite 1 v all game you have played?

    I liked your video very much, as usual. I am a fan of the MotU franchise since growing up with it. I loved the cartoon and the action figures back then and loved the reboot of 200x too. I got excited when CMON announced the game. But ... man... that board maybe functional but it ilooks bland and ugly to me. I like one vs many games, love special powers and still Clash of Eternia doesn’t give me any positive or nostalgic feeling. Still thank you for a good and informative video.

    it's not a boardgame, it's a way to get a complete set of heman toys and a caste for under 250 and still have a semi decent game attached to it.

      Very similar, lots of overlap in the game design. In terms of preference, I prefer this one, Rina prefers Moloch. Moloch is one of our favorite games.

      Same. This is an important question for me. I'm not really into competitive games, so how well the co-op works with 2 players determines whether I get this.

      I have to agree. We'll see if there are 3D terrain, and once we see some painted minis. I don't really love He-man like I do X-men. So this one might be a pass for me.

      their board art minis and dice were all better. But you still don't get to fight on castle gray skull.
      Really why would you pick either base game vs the castle grey skull fight if you were going to table just one.
