  • First of all, guys - I'll keep an eye on my panning in the future.

    Secondly, I likely won't review the Carcassonne big box any time soon, since I don't have it. But I wouldn't rule it out in the future.

  • Nice review. Just one minor quibble: the tiles are indeed drawn randomly from the bag, but then they are placed on the center board in order. That's what those big "1-2-3-4" printed numbers are for! :-)

  • i havnt played it but sounds like something on the lines of 'ticket to ride'.

  • Good review, but I don't think you give the game enough credit. We discussed Alhambra on the most recent episode of our podcast. There is a link on our channel page.

  • Tom, this is awesome that you are reviewing the base game and the expansions. Could you please do this with the Carcassonne big box as well? I know you reviewed some of them on your website, but it would be really cool if you could do it in video form.

  • Great review Tom. I've had Alhambra on and off my wishlist for years. Now it's going back on. That Alhambra big box is usually quite a steal at Spiel in Essen, so I will probably just pick it up.

  • I didn't think it was so bad this time, but I agree that panning while zoomed in is a bad idea.

  • I have to concur that the big box makes a huge difference for replayability for me. I've played Alhambra more in the last month than I had in the previous two years.

    I find that I like to just choose two random expansions from 1 to 20 (enter the d20) and play with those two expansions paired. That way every play is a slightly different flavor.

    Some of the expansions are minor. Some have HUGE impacts on your decisions making.

  • nice hair cut

  • medsas, its that bad. Actually it makes me sad because I can no longer watch Tom's reviews. I can listen but can't watch.

    I used to work for an editing house so I am very aware of camera angles and related stuff.
