Dead Reckoning Post FOMO All Content Analysis

In this video I dive into a game that a few years ago was insanely hyped. Now that I have had time to get plenty of plays under my belt and no longer suffer from the campaign hype I think its time to take a sober look at dead reckoning before I decide if I will back the newest Port of Call expansion. #boardgames #boardgamer #tabletopgames

Like this comment if you want my thoughts on the new Port of Call Expansion Campaign...

[davidhughes]

I appreciate more discussion on this now that we have some time to see things in restrospect. Thanks for your video - well made and compelling!

[chaps]

Love the content. Don’t even want buy. But you kept interest!

[stormburns]

Been curious about this one. Thanks for covering it!

[BillyIndiana]

I appreciate this overview and review. I've been curious about the upcoming project and this gave me a good foundation.

I love how this game looks and the idea behind card crafting but I’ll have to look at it again after we’ve moved when we have a designated game room. The length & setup/take down is long enough that we wouldn’t try it out for months.

Thank you for the video! I was debating the same thing. We've only just started the first saga....

[nccjv]

Thanks for the detailed breakdown. It looks fun but I'm finding myself less interested lately in getting games with that level of time commitment.

Big, epic with take that?? Sounds like it was made for our group! Also Letter of Marque's bounty sounds like a great way to hunt down mates, auto-include for my pledge 😁
Thanks for your review, it was helpful, especially your comment about sea dogs 👍

Our group struggles with campaign games though, would you say the sagas still work if they're used in one-off games? (Just to attend a light narrative event element to the game). Or if I use sagas must all my games be somewhat connected with the same players in a continuous way?

Cheers!

I really like Dead Reckoning but it is very long and very expensive for what it is too. The Saga Expansions are neat but I think I would get overwhelmed if I put all 3 in at once. I am hoping my wife will start playing with me more so we can play through more of the saga content. The new KS I am torn on... that is an expensive storage box... but I do like the idea of the Port of Call expansion. I think for most people if they really want the game, Core + Port of Call would be the way to go as well as adding on Sea Dogs. Then if you really want that campaign/story content get the Sagas but they are very much not required.

This is a game that I want to like but guess it is not for my group. I’ll stick with working through my shelf of shame rather than adding to it for now. Someday though…. It’s on the list.

I just have the base game and the two Sea Dogs additional character packs. Instead of going for the expansions/campaigns, I got the deluxe buildings/coins and the playmat.

I really like the game (feels like a pirate themed Scythe to me in how you achieve objectives to win). I do think 3-4 players works better than 2 to force more interaction/competition

I'm still looking for my dream pirate game as a solo player. Dead Reckoning looks beautiful and seems fun. But there are a few things I really enjoy. Rolling a lot of dice, and often (not in this game). Deluxe bits and beautiful art (check). And official soundtrack/app with ambience and voicework (nope). I think if it had 2 out of 3 I would be all in. But it's just not quite there.

[kimklisiak]

the layered card upgrades had me like OMG I MUST HAVE THIS, then you showed the battle system and was I immediately moved to NOPE I'M OUT (because of the randomness of the cube tower, not the take that aspect)

[mariolaflotte]

Hello, I'm going to back Dead Reckoning and I would like to know what the best expansions are.

[christopherdrogos]

I’m sure it’s in the comments here but the music was way too loud. We couldn’t even quite hear parts of it.
