I’m so glad you enjoyed the game! It’s incredibly rewarding to see it resonating with others, and I’m thrilled that the experience was positive for you.🥰

Fantastic preview! I'm excited for this to hit Kickstarter. Thank you for going to the effort to cover this game.

Out of curiosity, will you two be attending Essen Spiel? As one of my favourite channels, I've wondered if you attend public events or prefer to enjoy games exclusively at home.

Love your reviews! Thanks for all the hard work that goes into them.

How much player interaction is there in this game? Are you only focusing on tracks for bonuses and your own player board?

Nice review, this had completely slipped under my radar. Out of interest, how big is the box compared to an EGG Lacerda? And when you say it's heavy is it Lacerda levels or more on a par with Brass?

Thanks for the review. I love your style of reviewing I feel like this is like a buddy of mine telling me about a game they played, just they got the rules right. 😂

I would like to ask about something that I have come across in your videos before. It seems Ferrell 'always' wins, that is the gist I get at least. My wife and I have a similar issue where I usually win and I will admit that I will 'throw' a game just to keep her playing. I just wonder how you handle this, feel free not to answer as this may be a more personal answer than you want to give.

Thanks for your work

How long does this game take to play? Is BGG correct when it says 100-200 min?

Wow great review!
I don't really play heavy euro game, but you definitely got me interested, lol.

The kickstarter page says that this game is inspired by Terra Mystica and Terraforming Mars. How does it play comparing to these 2 games?

Thank you!

When people mention Euro styles of games, what exactly do they mean? I’ve looked it up online before but didn’t really get a satisfactory answer.

You are by no means the first, but board game media has to come to terms with the professionalisation of criticism. Receiving something "for free", whether a review copy or the promise of a future retail copy is payment. Moreover, it is not simply the monetary value of the product in question, but the future relationship with a publisher/ designer. Folks can insist that they are uniquely insulated from such persuasion, but by accepting payment from publishers/ designers you remove yourselves from the position of a consumer (when your own money is on the line). A critic is supposed to represent the interests of the consumer/ audience. I appreciate boardgames is in an awkward phase historically whereby the audience isn't large enough to support much by way of genuine critique. Of course anyone is free to make whatever content they wish, consume whatever content they wish etc. and I appreciate you being clear at the beginning that you have received a review copy and the promise of a future copy. However, it just jars with me when people follow up that admission with... "But that's not very much really and it hasn't influenced my judgement in the slightest". You can't serve 2 masters equally...
