Turncoats is a Tiny Battle for your Table

~FOLLOW US AROUND, WHY DON'T YOU~

[TheAtticus]

This seems like a game you’d see wise men play in a fantasy series.

[mariliacesarhorta]

A game so powerful that even Tom himself was abstracted away

[centurymagic]

Tom this is unacceptable. You can't make hilarious videos while also making calm and collected ones like this. It's just not fair.

[GuerricSamplesGames]

I'm both tremendously excited for Tilda, and also tremendously afraid for her order backlog

[DoctorEth]

Watching Tom develop as a review-maker has been a treat, and this is a perfect example of letting the game set the tone and letting those writing skills really shine.

Mathilda is a friend of mine and the fact that this magnificent game of hers is gaining this traction makes me so happy and proud omgg (thank you Tom for a great review btw, you just got yourself a new fan!)!!

[alexaliss]

Tilda is a great person and is clearly really passionate about game design. She explained how to play Turncoats to me so patiently haha. It took me and some other friends a while to get it but it was really fun to play a few times in a row and watch people develop their own strategies- however silly they were or how effectively they worked. Always a joy to grab our pretty Turncoats bag off the shelf!

This game looks like something i would hate every moment of ... i know several people however who would absolutely adore it!
She handmakes them?! Tom i think this video might break her...

[FalkFlak]

There are a lot of abstract game productions of this kind played on a piece of linnen fabric or leather but with this area control mechanism you can see what superfluous aspects many other games put on the board.
If there would be a big volcanoe in the middle, landscape surround it and instead of stones you have colooured dudes of orcs, elves and whatnot you just have a standard fantasy strategy game and it shows how little that actually brings to the table.

super happy i found out about this gem because of you, it's perfect for my TTRPG players because it's a game that they've never heard of that *feels* like it's as old as chess or go

[MURDRD]

I really, really enjoyed the tone you took with this review. It fits in with what this game achieves thematically perfectly. This game looks really interesting to have as a talking piece, art piece, etc.

[luigiscazzari]

We went within a week from Quinn's euphoria to Tom's ASMR. Such a rollercoaster.

[btmurphy]

“Allowing different brains to bash against each other in weird and interesting ways” is a line I will be thinking about every time I play a game from now on. Thanks, Tom, for being such a weird and interesting person and for sharing these videos with us.

[bubblewandd]

Insightful, nuanced, and poetic. This review is a piece of art.

[lukesanwick]

Oh man, I feel for Milda’s Google Form right now. 😅

[sojou.RN.]

I love Tom's goofier reviews, but he really knocked it out of the park with this one. Simple and elegant game; straightforward and compelling review.

[Gfloresadam]

Bloody hell Tom, way to throw us an absolute curveball after all your recent videos with something wildly different and yet still amazing.
Enjoyed your writing in this one, really succinct!

[cdgonepotatoes]

Imagine if a game was made to work parallel of Turncoats, where the factions have a player "king", and they have to gather support of the "nobles" by offering them power but at the same time trying to bind them to themselves.

[philvan]

Amazing quality in this one! From footage to script to delivery, this was an impressive departure from the usual style and reminded me of video essays in the best way possible.

[scottdarrington]

PHEW! I just got the confirmation of my order for this a few days ago, in before the new wave of orders this lovely review will no doubt bring. 😅

I actually also made my own copy of the game to try out before, and I have really loved my time with it so far!
