Board Games with Scott 057 - Small World

[iconochasmmetal]

You've got the best reviews on youtube, man. Always something positive, informative, and constructive to say, with good humour as well. This is next on my list to buy.

[tragedija]

this video really helped me, thanks.

Can you review Runewars?

thanks

[klayclay]

@snicholson I was wondering if you could do an instruction video like this one on the game Betrayal at House on the Hill. It looked really interesting to me and am wanting to know more about it.

I really want to try Small World now too :)

[Tubeblurr]

This is very good. I love this game and I really like the way you explained it...

[bassmzero]

I don't even LIKE board games lol! Although I was a bit of a Warhammer 40,000 nerd and I might start that up again xD. There's something about your show that I just love and I can't stop watching!

[NaturalTwentyFilms]

I saw this game at the store yesterday and thought I would look at a review before buying it. Your video has helped me decide to go buy it!

[LouigiVerona]

Played it once, loved it and now ordered it, gonna get it in a couple of hours, yay! This is not a one-time game, it is simple but deep and with huge replayability, something you would play throughout the years - at least, so it seems.

[XShrike0]

I am a little apprehensive about how light the game is but, it solves other issues for me though. The game has an end and there is a way to come back from a beat down. The expansions, particularly Tales and Legends, will add some spice.

Thank you Scott! I actually bought this game (and four others!) based upon your recommendations. Now, I just need to find some people to play with here in frozen Norway! Also, I went to the Days of Wonder website, and unfortunately they do not sell spare parts for this game (only for Ticket to Ride, Memoir '44, and Mystery of the Abby). They will however send missing or damaged parts, but only if you just opened the box.

Have you ever thought of taking a look at Heroscape? I have yet to see someone with a boardgame v-blog talk about Heroscape or even bother with it.

[snicholson]

@TimmyTheNerd I did that back in 2006! Check Episode 5.

[plastefuchs666]

@TimmyTheNerd The Dicetower here on Youtube also has an extensive review of Heroscape.

[Watanga10]

@TimmyTheNerd this game (Heroscape) lots of fun so i think scott should do a review on it

[TimmyTheNerd]

@Watanga10

He said he already did, episode 5.

[GodofChaos45]

I like this game. Its fun. :)

[jagjagjag009]

i where thinking of add my own race on the blank one.

MUNKS

there powers is that when you flipp them in DECLINE they give you 2 points in every teretory you have, but they dont have anny defence in decline (so its only the basic land cost of 2 to conquer them)

i give them 4 amry value

[jagjagjag009]

Hi Scott! tnx for a nice review. There are now some expansions available.

Grand Dames, Curse, and Community´s compendium 1 & 2

Have you tried any of them? Do you think they make the game better?

[snicholson]

@jagjagjag009 I haven't had a chance to try the expansions yet.

[marsrc3]

Just wanted to clarify one thing Scott: On your 2nd turn, and thereafter, before beginning your conquest(s), you don't have to leave 1 race token in the regions you conquered in your previous turns. You can abandon previous regions (1 or many), and use those tokens for new conquests. note: if you abandon ALL previous regions, then you have to enter the board like it's your first turn. Cheers!

[h00sha]

Scott, you are awesome! Thank you for your videos. In particular, the episodes on Puerto Rico and Agricola have helped me a great deal. One question about Small World: you imply that a player's new race can enter the board adjacent to the declined race. Is that right?

[Kadasoyio]

Regarding the comment in the very beggining about the unwanted event of losing one of the game race tokens, it would be great if board game companies had a mail delivery system that allowed you to buy small sets of replacement tokens.

Scott, thank you for another great review. Keep the good work up!

[BlackAssasin]

@Kadasoyio

Some companies have such a system. Or at least FFG customer service can send you replacement bits if you need some.

[Ilopsen]

@Kadasoyio Or just included extras, similarly to Ticket to Ride.

[cruzdt]

the beard gives him strength.

[extragunbon]

@cruzdt It makes me think of Tom Bombadil. I'm not even so sure why... O.o

[Ilopsen]

@cruzdt Wheezywaiter power!

[apex2000]

@cruzdt what we talking like a + 7 to Beard.

[ORCA4312]

@cruzdt It IS mighty, indeed.

[supercatjesse]

another question, do you have to place all your pieces or can you save some to reinforce some of your territories?

[snicholson]

You place them all, but you don't have to use any of them to fight with. You can leave behind whatever you'd like.

[supercatjesse]

SWEET THANKS BUT ONE MORE THING, can i enter in from the same place as my oppenent... sorry for all these questions im just kinda confused.

[snicholson]

When you do that, you are attacking them! If there are opposing pieces, then you pay 1 for each opposing tile there (in addition to your normal cost), and kill them all but one. The other person then has to put the survivor somewhere where they already are.

[supercatjesse]

so i have a question, on the first conquest of the first player, he comes in on the corner of the map, can the other player come in on the same place and take them out?

[Sant182]

Thanks for all these reviews, I'm getting into more complex board games myself, so these reviews help me a lot!
