I like the new editing touches! Good job to the Dice tower team

Tom, I like this new style/playlist of "what I love" as it gets us out of the cult of the new and back to older games that deserve time back in the sun. Look forward to watching the others in the series.

Really enjoying the "Best of..." and "Why I love..." series, Tom. Whether I'm agreeing your opinion or not, I always enjoy your passion for games! :D
Also like the view of a different section of shelves. Thunder Alley!

I finally got a copy of Kemet and played it with my 7 and 9 year old kids. It was a huge hit. I love the game. Instantly got to my top 5.

My favourite dudes on the map game. Got all expansions, 3d printed obelisks, 3d printed fast setup tiles. :) Cannot wait for the kickstarter in few weeks to see what new things it will bring :)

Just got second edition delivered.
Hype!

Kemet is the best war /area control game IHMO. It's my favorite genre :)

[riverOfWinds]

Tom, do you still love Kemet now as much as you loved it three years ago? (Asking, as I want to buy Kemet.)

[gkpr]

One of my all time favorite games. I really need to play this more.

[tommygrahn]

Can't wait til I'll get this one..been keeping an eye out for it in Sweden for awhile now. Can't find it anywhere

My Kemet experience - id not played games since high school (except for the occasional Phase 10 with the family - barf) and that was around 25+ years ago. We used to play Hero Quest, Conquest of the Empire and the like. Anyway, I wanted to get back
Into board games and so found a local MeetUp group. On my first arrival there they had Kemet laid out in the table and I remember thinking, "oh crap, this is one of those 8 hour long confusing as Hell games". I'd only expected to be introduced to some of the newer, funnier games...not five head first into some 9 month long campaign!!! I sat down at any rate and four of us dove in. I was amazed at the combat and the tiles were extremely easy to understand (thanks reference guide! - it comes with the game). Before I knew it we had played a seemingly long, confusing looking game in no time and with very little learning curve.
I ended up playing it two more times in the weeks that followed and after buying it the GF and I played several more. To this day it's one of our top five. On a side note I also got Cry Havoc as Tom suggested ("very Kemet like") and it too is a good one.

If you don't have Kemet, get it.

been wanting this for a while but out of stock in the UK, hope it comes back soon

For the battle cards, you have to throw one away. But aren't these closed? So your enemies don't know exactly what you have left.

[LittlePanda]

For me is the best war game ever, i love the customisation and the gods are pretty cool too

[sepandgousheh]

it would nice if you link the game review DT did either in the description or on the video at the end.

Hey Tom, I just got to play this game recently. I really love it. How do you think this game holds up to all the bright and shiny games of today? I was lucky to find a copy of the base game online.

Hey!
Im a player with 7 Wonders, Zombicide, Terra Mystica, Smallworld, Twilight Struggle and some other games in the collection.
I liked both Kemet and Arcadia Quest... which one should i choose?

[Blinkin]

This game is great. My only complaint, the amount of tiles, you always have to refer to what they do, as they symbols can be a little confusing. I made copies of the little booklet with the descriptions of all the tiles for everyone and it made it much easier for everyone to see what tiles to choose from rather than passing the booklet around to everyone every turn. Otherwise, awesome game! One of my favorites

[brockhutchinson]

I've owned this game for years and it is still in the plastic. Sad!

[DuraheLL]

Kemet is a game that should be good, but it sucks. Dry action. Sorta lame, like half a game.
