I just came across your channel and so glad I did. I love the format of your reviews with your 7 questions. Great job!

[AtomMusicSchool]

This is finally the format of video I want a little overview and a review. Perfect. YES! Subbed.

Another great review! You always cover a lot of different topics and questions to help us really understand what the game is like without spoiling too much! :)

[gabrielleju]

Really enjoy your videos. Short and right to the point. Good stuff

I really like your review format, is very unique and it's easier to understand your opinions when they are reduced to a couple of Words in the whiteboard

I played Scythe on App and didn't like it at all, felt Boring, but im Still considering to get it and play with newer gamers, maybe in person is more interesting

Best format for reviewing a board game

[sandmaniac]

Found you pretty late. But love the review format. I use this as a gateway game for people that have ventured a little bit into heavier games but aren’t ready for the really heavy stuff. It does a great job at introducing engine building, lots of moving pieces, and complex strategy in an easily digestible format, breaking each play into a series of small, easily understandable decisions. I generally move people from basic games to Wingspan (same publisher, different designer) to Scythe.

This is my new favourite board game channel!

I love Scythe but I agree, it’s a simple game in disguise. Great video, keep making content Janises!

[namelessfire]

Eldritch Horror with mechs? That's some rather odd expectations to bring into Scythe. I'm really glad you gave Fenris a go. It's a truly incredible expansion.

Love your content guys, you make an amazing job!

Love the review format of the back and forth discussion. Keep it up

[peacenite]

i will buy this one for my first time heavy games

No fighting is a problem which you only have as a beginner. Since most of the factions can have 2 Stars from fighting in a 5 player game, we have up to 8 fights per game. My only problem with the game is that it's unbalanced. Some combos are laughable bettet than others.

Mmm now I feel like getting the expansion to see what I am missing... 😅

[Madgaar]

@BoardGameHangover what is your opinion of Eclipse second dawn for the galaxy? just to see how closely our tastes align ;)

[matissmatiss]

I would not call this a simple game, BGG: Weight: 3.42 / 5 There is a lot to it to learn and start playing with new players, especially with non gamers.
It is definitely not for Sunday players I would say ;D

Both expansions (Rise of Fenris and Invaders from afar) are great and must have if you like Scythe base game. But Wind Gambit expansion is a no for me, it is just not good at all :)

Warcraft 3? How? What? Kek? I've played that game hundreds of hours and I cannot related that in any way to Scythe.. WC3 was all about your apm, micro, harass and conflict all the time. I got none of that in this board game.

[mirkosrndovic]

So, if I've undrestood you two well, this game is fantastic (but a bit expensive) disappiontment? 🤣
