Histrio Review with the Game Boy Geek

My board game review of this theatrical show producing game. Create your troupe of actors to please the king. However his mood is ever changing between wanting a comedy and tragedy. You do have influence to help change his mood though.

I think I would really like this. The production & art is fantastic. I may not buy it right out at first, but I definitely want to try this.

I think you explained something wrong ? at 3:21 you say they go face down in the playing area but thats wrong The rule is : Finally, the player places the Actors remaining in their hand in front of them, face-up. These are added to their troupe, which must always remain face-up. This is copy and pasted from the Original rules

Pretty spot on review. Bought it during an online holiday sale for $10 and was blown away by the quality and components. Not as blown away by the gameplay, but a nice filler game if anything else

I just bought it today and we played it aswel and for a family game we think it's a good game. Simple actions but still thinky enough to be interesting.

Generally I love your videos, but this was a bit disappointing. I came after watching the Rules School video so first 8 mins was a repeat. Then there was not much of a review in there. You praised the production, then explained what the game makes you think. Then just your personal feelings about the game with no explanation as to why you don't think this is a great game. Which mechanics don't work well, or is it lack of player interaction or does it not play well at particular player count.

Thanks Dan for the review, but this one looks really boring to me. I normally like Bruno Cathala a lot as well, and the production is gorgeous. However, I'm going to pass this one, very disappointed.
