It's ridiculous how generic Guild of Merchant Explorers is, but it plays really well. I really love the way the special powers work in this game. It really gives diversity among the players that you usually don't see in this sort of roll & write-style game. To be clear, it's not a roll & write (it's flip & place a cube), but it has that feel.
The dynamic between Tom and Quinns is amazing. Would love to see a games round-up video like this from them every few months.
This video was perfect. None of these games quite piqued my interest, and yet I loved every minute of it.
Really liked this video. Super funny and also a great way to show off a number of different games.
It does have the downside of making me interested in even more games. Wormholes particularly looked neat, but so did Merchant Explorers and Village Rails.
I know all the lighter games will get a little more attention, but for those heavey board gamers reading, Imperial Steam is absolutely fantastic. It's incredibly brutal, there's so much going on, and the set up is long, but it's one of the best games I've played in ages, and despite route building being an element, plays surprisingly well at 2 player.
This video was a laugh riot, and a great way to cover some games that wouldn't otherwise get the time.
I loved the Imperial Steam joke at the start...only wish I loved setting it up as much. It's the one game I refuse to set up alone.
Everyone and their mother has said good things about Guild of Merchant Explorers, and I like roll n' write type games so this seems like a no-brainer
