    Great video! One of the many things I liked was that, in your “unboxing” portion, it was clear you knew what was in the box. I can’t stand unboxing videos where the unboxer simply has no idea what they’re looking at…it’s then a video of the contents listed on the back of the box: iow, almost zero value added. I’ve also seen “how to play” videos where the presenter didn’t seem to understand the rules. You clearly have a solid handle on the game. Again, well done sir!

    Hello. Good review. I do realize it is four years old now, and perhaps everyone has moved on... But respectfully, I must agree with the respondents who can do without the social commentary. I don't even disagree with the viewpoints in question, but shouldn't games unite and help us escape the real world for a while? I feel there are tactful (and ultimately more successful) ways to represent, without prompting groans from half the audience. For example, simply show the character cards to the audience. Because let's be honest here, whether everyone is as vocal, topics well-known to be divisive can be (by definition) alienating to a lot of customers. So please, please, please... let's focus on promoting our fun world of gaming. Anyway, I ended up buying and loving this game based on an otherwise awesome review. I do agree it is a worthy "sequel" to Mysterium!

    • @123ricardo210

      You can, it's just a bit more involved, you have to use post-its (or something to that effect. A specific color of small lego brick would also work) and take notes (like which envelopes and specific cards you've used, the points, who's gotten which sticker, etc.). Taking a picture afterwards also helps, to clear things up. For board altering stuff you could use post its or pieces of paper.

    Homebrew rule for this game. If you fall into a hole while playing on the 6x6 side roll a D6 2 times to find out where you'll be landing, if space is taken roll again. Same goes for the 7x7 side, but with a D8 instead. 8s are an automatic reroll. I've done this before for my games and it adds to the tension in a good way imo. Game is fun. Hope you all have a blast if you try it.
