The "It spins" made me chuckle and wake my wife up. Thanks for getting me in trouble.

[MaisieSqueak]

Had to pause and laugh for a full 30 seconds at "It Spins"

Don't worry, Efka: You're right about the cards in Ark Nova. <3

4:32 Proxima Centauri, Vega or M. Bison... almost missed that :D

Literally your intros and PUNs MAKE these videos and I love it. Thanks for your in-depth reviews!

Got my copy for free as a prize draw for the playtesters and will certainly be keeping hold of it but almost agree with you on everything here. In playtesting, at one point there were neutral signals in the star tracks to make filling them quicker but I'm not sure why that went away. It could very easily be house-ruled back in but what I actually like with SETI is there's not the usual string of things to remember when you're adjusting the game for 2. I've found it plays fine at 2-4 (haven't solo'd yet) but it's just a different game at each count. Four is pretty chaotic as the players race to each objective. 2-player is almost semi co-op as you have to fill the tracks together to some extent but probably puts the emphasis on the probe actions over telescope. My main concerns with the game are length (it was 3 hours with three, admittedly the other two were new) and the downtime. If one player just isn't getting the right cards, then they can potentially have an uncomfortable wait watching their opponents keep going long after they've passed

Love your review and the effort you put into Bon Jovi analogies!

My only problem: I can’t afford a bigger flat that could include a rugby field sized table for that game board.

8:30 "I hope now, a different picture of SETI is emerging - "
Ah. Dogs are aliens. All is made clear.

"Do I Bob or do I Odenkirk" caught me almost as hard as a chance to say widdershins in context. Also: I too resent Ark Nova and TM and Wingspan for having a cludge of strategies that never manifest. I like playing them... I just wish they didn't have cludge in the decks.

I’m so distracted by Efka’s fantastic outfit. I’ll have to watch this again and actually pay attention 😂 (Seriously, I love the t-shirt and knitted cap.)

[florianschoppler]

It is a remarkable euro game. One that will be played and talked about in years still

[drunkexperiter]

Flashing that Europa Clipper card at 12:55 right about a week or so out from the launch was so cool. God I love Europa Clipper man...

By the way, there's a gang in Judge Dredd that idolizes Bon Jovi...and is at constant war with a rival gang: The Bruce Springsteens.

As usual, a fun, and informative review.

[Boberman]

Demoed at Gencon. Didn’t like the teach but I did like the game. I am eagerly awaiting for my preorder to arrive!

[Anglave]

I'm here for landing probes on planets!

"Please, Efka, tell me it spins. *sigh* It spins" If I was not already subscribed, that would have won me over.

that thumbnail is absolute perfection.

Best Bon Jovi songs were Jon Bon Jovi solo soundtrack of Young Guns II and Im dying on that hill (which would fit the movie)
