I occasionally peak at my old Boardgamegeek page and saw this pop up. Thanks so much for the video even for my ancient game. It still feels great to see people loving something all these years later.

I agree, it's a fantastic game that simulates really well the video game! I love it!

I remember this game because it was designed by some YouTubers called ForgedByGeeks who used to do playthroughs for KDM and Pathfinder Adventure Card Game (how I found their channel). They haven't posted a vid since Covid days so I hope everything is OK with them. They did a very good job explaining all the thought and considerations that went into their design.

I really enjoy playing this game. I ran events for this game at Gen Con back in 2018? 2019? It's too bad the KS had some issues, and there were production changes made post-campaign but it's still a good game. The production quality is very high. Nice models, and excellent boards and cards. Nice and thick.

If you backed the KS, you were supposed to get a map a month for 2 years. There are even some maps that required two copies of the game to play.

Rob, if you can't find those maps on the internet let me know and i'll send them to you.

What are your top ten Steam Deck games?

I do like a good tower defense game, but i've yet to find a board game that simulates a video game version. So this interests me. There are a few copies for sale on eBay... but they are on the wrong side of the pond for me.

I watch your channel specifically BECAUSE it's "the most unprofessional thing on the internet", Rob :-)
