I dont think stores will go out of fashion. Sometimes you need something in a pinch, so online sellers will need to provide 5 minute free delivery. Sometimes shopping is just fun - it’s a social aspect. Sometimes you need to touch and feel the items. Sometimes you buy on a whim. And while online shopping has been beneficial, I find that it also takes up a lot of time. And I think there is still more credibility buying in person. A physical store has to take on more risk to display items in-person. And buying food online? It’s hit-or-miss. I like having control over the produce I buy.

Thanks Ryan Still use your videos if I forget something or if I have new players who want to learn more.

Cool video!

It seems very clear to me that this was inspired by the classic arcade game, Gauntlet.

I wish more channels would make it clear on where they stand politically. Thank you for being so open about it. Once I'm more stable with income I'll become a Patreon. Now if only the Dice Tower did the same, I don't subscribe to them anymore after seeing them use AI in a dice tower west FB post.

What are your thoughts about the downtime? Since players are doing all of their actions on their turn won't it have a lot of downtime between turns?

Cooperative games brought me back into board games... starting with Pandemic. I have Essentials + Tuscany + Rhine Valley and my group is just about to try it in the next month. If I had not bought those, I might go for Viticulture World first. For the versions I have, I could relax the worker placement blocking if I felt it was too restrictive, but my group values the experience more than a winner. When we played Pillars of the Earth that has restrictions on spots and we had no problem with that. Just pick something else.

I want to back it thanks to Shae videos but no shipment to Japan yet. Hopefully they will find a solution with a good price so I'll be able to back it.

Hey Rahdo, kind of unrelated to this vid, but do you have any thoughts about Hans Im Gluck claiming they own the trademark on the word "meeple" and design of the common "meeple" figure and are currently sending out cease and desist letters?

AJ rightfully states that game platforms and reviews are not here to promote personal political views mate!

WOKE ( or not) opinions in board gaming "? NO ONE CARES !!! just play the bl@@dy games!!

How does this game hold up today?

Do you not like Arkham Horror the LCG?

There's zero chance I pay $100+ for a game that literally looks like a prototype. I don't care how "elegant" the gameplay is.

looks boring XD

I was hoping this game was based on the video game you worked on back in the day. Isn’t this the same name?

I would assume that the ambassador cards are not always the same. How many different ones come with the base game?

10:45 Ok, off the top of my head (so no internet cheating - scroll down for my answer so I don't spoil for others) Dilithium - Star Trek Flux capacitor - Back to the Future Oscillation Overthruster - The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (one of my favorite movies back in the 80's - how can you go wrong with John Lithgow, Jeff Goldblum, AND Christopher Lloyd in the same movie ) Kirillian crystals - sorry, no idea 😢

Just picked this up 2nd hand. I find the concept intriguing. Complete table hog though and the rule book could be easier to figure out.

I wonder if this game gives Rahdo any Splash Damage flashbacks?

Thanks for the video! Rahdo's burning brain in full swing in this game. The hype seems quite real. :)

Tiny Towns on Steroids.

Great job on this one. I hate when I get surprised like that. I really appreciate how you recognize and respect the design. So much praise even though it isn't for you. This is often how I feel.

Rahdo please explain because for some reason I'm not getting "it"....about the vote...what's the purpose of it both thematically and what do you want to achieve during it/ gain?

IV Studios is in my Top 3 board game developers/producers, and all of their games are basically insta-back for me. I have yet to be let down by any of them, and their component quality is unmatched in the industry other than Stonemaier & Awaken Realms (also in my top 3). Thanks for covering the game and giving your honest thoughts!

@3:00 you talk about trading with everyone, but all trades must include the active player. 2 off players can't trade on the side on player 3s turn.

#TeamHenko

@39:53 riders stack!

@21:00 Komek home world grants 2 power! Not sure if you'll fix this later or not. (All home worlds give 2 power, you can tell by the double line around the edge) Edit: fixed it 2 min later with subtitles

#TeamHenko.. off to the gameplay!

Thanks for the video. This game is not for me, but I’m sure plenty of other people will enjoy it! I think that’s generally true for IV Studios’ games. I guess there is a co-op expansion for Moonrakers, but the barrier to entry is too steep.

The blind bidding at the end of the round sounds very similar to dune imperium. You don’t get your stuff back in dune though, I think you just get reduced rewards unless you come in last.

Sidereal Confluence incentivizes trade. I think the designer has a huge post about what he learned from designing it too.

Please don't misunderstand me, but I think they should set a higher discount rate to be able to sell these games faster. One of the most criticized aspects of this company has been the high prices of their released games compared to the market. Perhaps it's because the quality of their products is high, I don't know. But ultimately, even with a 25% discount, the prices are still high. I hope other companies in the market won't face these kinds of issues in the future.

So how well does this work at 2p? Does it lose anything?

This sounds fantastic, I was very much not in the market for new games, but this one just made it onto my wish list.

Backed! I love the art!

I think you're crazy. If this is too long you may have ADHD. Lol

Thanks for showing Algae Inc. to your community!! 🙂 Glad you like it and you compared it to Lacerda-Games ;) Julia & Chris

Thanks for this really fun-to-watch run through and the detailed explanation. We`re happy you liked Algae Inc. :) Greetings from Berlin! Julia & Chris

I think you handled the first question with diplomacy and poise. You're a cool dude

The industry cannot keep up with the passion of Rahdo. It is not economically sustainable. Too much love, too small pool of funds and time.

Please never stop supporting others who do not have the same privileges and are constantly subjected to injustices. I struggle to understand peoples attitudes.

Bringing any extra message to hobby is a sure way to ruin experience. You're promoting your political or social message on the behalf of the people you're playing with. You may feel yourself righteous while promoting any message but it's pretty fair you lose audience this way.

Thank you for doing this for us :) You were an amazing partner to work with! I think I had tears in my eyes when I watched the final thoughts of Oak for the first (and second) time :)

I love your enthusiasm for a nature theme game. And that chicken cup is adorable! (where did you get it please?) You've just inspired me to have a go at playing Meadow solo, learn it well, and teach it to my husband.

Sorry, one quick question, if I draw one of those messing with the die loot cards, are those a one-time use card? are they permanent benefits?

So is this going to be going to retail? Or from their website only?

I think the asymmetrical conversation is more applicable to pvp games. Because I think Twilight Imperium and Adrenaline (with its incredibly pertinent expansion) are such that even a small nudge is a big enough difference that you will likely win the better you are at working with that particular play style. In specifics I had many thoughts about the adrenaline expansion because it changed the entire feel for the game. You no longer were just running around picking up random guns and using them to replace with new different guns. Instead you were trying to best utilize your personal unique gun and mechanics (which weren't strictly actually balanced)
