I think you are the perfect guy to review Stalker... You look like Strelok from the first Stalker game, Shadow Of Chernobyl.

Got this in last week, and got it to the table yesterday. the game is solid. it was a struggle to learn, but once we got it down, it was a blast. I agree about the rulebook, it was poorly laid out. Could have been condensed a bit. As for set up, once you get the binder built (no where near as intense as ISS Vanguard), it was easy to follow the instructions for zone exploration. The building of the map reminded me of Cthulhu: Death May Die. I agree about the cards, they need to have some bit of texture to keep from sliding on the map. The game play was solid and it did a good job with it's theme and elements. I look forward to continuing the campaign. Cheers.

I think I found my new favourite board game youtuber.

I had backed originally, then cancelled my pledge when they made core gameplay changes. But I'm glad to hear it's still a good game. I may pickup the core box in retail or second hand. But hearing about the rules and setup makes me glad I passed for now. I have enough games on my shelf shaming me for those same reasons, right now. Haha.

Thanks for the review as always!

Slay the spire was a great big box game that had a very well designed box to make setup and tear down pretty quick, a great example of how to get it right….

Happy to hear positive thoughts with this one as I wasn't sure about the initial campaign but took a chance based on the IP and company behind it. Well presented opinions as well, as is usually the case. Thanks!

Thank you for reviewing Stalker, I’ve been wondering about it for a few months.

I got this and Ive only played the Zone Survival standalone missions and been really enjoying them. I was surprised how much of the content in the box was dedicated to this game mode as well as the massive variery and replayability of it.

Stumbled across this video searching up the board game. Left a subscriber not sure if I was coerced into it or not but don’t regret my decision. Nice vid too.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention! Great explanation of the mechanics. Short and sweet. Love Stalker Anomaly and the immersion. My potato cannot handle Stalker 2 or Gamma so this is a great alternative right now.

Thanks for the review mate, I'm hoping mine arrives soon as the boat is mooring today. I've got a group of victims lined up to play so hopefully it's a blast.

We smoke a lot of weed when we play too tho the wind sounds are less subtle

Can't wait. I like the film, the book and the game trilogy. Zona isn't bad either

Upon hearing "geezer out of Robocop"--instant Thumb from me. Cheers.

Stalker is an amazing movie I had no idea based on a short story. Can't wait to read. Great review as always. Given the movie, I can't imagine this will be in anyway approachable for a social game.

Not sure which movie reference was better Sir Connery or Robocop. The ultimate demise of that character from Robocop is unparalleled. Verhoeven was a bit ahead of the curve despite some blunders.

your delivery makes me to check, every time, whether I am subscribed :) Great content mate! Cheers from Greece!
