Another good video, mate. Very helpful.

I don't like dummy players in most games, but Leonardo is rather inoffensive in this one. He's mostly a tool you can use to mess with your opponent while whittling away at the fresco, keeping the game the appropriate number of turns. I prefer it with 3 or 4, but it's still fun with 2.

Yet another good review! Thanks. BTW, our group finds that playing with all of the variant options together makes for a much heavier game that runs closer to 90 minutes. We mostly tend to like our games meatier, though, and it works well for us. That said, I really like the way the game scales based on the desire of the group to play light weight to mid-heavy.

@JimPAX92 Absolutely, I think that is one of Fresco's biggest bonuses, You can tailor the game to your group. A great game that i'll be sitting down to this weekend....

Great review James, but you're ruining me! ;)

I also dislike "dummy players," but a 3-4 player game is a perfect fit for my regular game sessions.

Nice review. One thing that I'd like for future reviews are a few more seconds on component quality. Is the packaging useful for storing the game? Things like that. You don't have to spend a lot of time on this. Optionally, consider listing the MSRP in U.S. dollars and your country's currency as well; that's not a deal breaker, but is more of a point of curiosity. Great job overall. Big fan. One of my favorite game reviewers online. Humorous, informative, and approachable.

@hudarklord, Sometimes times not on my side but if time permits

that's a great idea. Everyone please always let me know of things you'd like to see in my reviews and i'll try and include them, Rather than an animatded section for the components i might try a video part in my next one. As for the U.S dollars i considered it but where do i find the U.S MSRP? for some games it can be hard to find. Cheers for the compliments and the suggestions.
