Small World Review 1 of 3

Game Night with Geekshow takes a look at the newest game from Days of Wonder, the light-hearted fantasy based Small World. Use several fantasy based races to take over the world, but when you stretch them too far, you will need to dump them and move forward with a new race. Part 1 of 3, recommended in HD.

Personally if I look up a review I dont want to see an entire explanation of game mechanics. If the review is already split into 3 videos then why not do 1 review and a seperate game mechanics explanation for those who liked the sound of the review. Like seeing your actual review sections though, keep em coming.

@slugsmudge The review isn't "already split into 3 videos". The review is one video that had to be sliced into 3 videos in order to upload to Youtube. Thanks for the thoughts! I seem to get very mixed opinions when it comes to that subject.

I have just seen part 1 of this review - its very well done, i like the relaxed style and you obviously know your stuff, but why so long? I think i shorter, opinion led review is much better than 30mins slog through a game. You may be able to cover more games this way too? Keep up the playing/reviewing

Simply put, we haven't done many reviews yet. So pacing is still an issue. We have a lot to say, but not much time to say it in. It's something that we will be working on in the future episodes. Thanks for the opinions!

Oh my gosh! Where did the top of his head go?!

Bought the game

Played the game (5 players)

Sold the game

It wasn't for me. It far too chaotic for me and you can't build up any strategy since when your turn comes, everything has changed in a so drastic way that it feels like the game plays alone with the players being there only to move the pieces.

The guy who hated the game the most won the game...

@slugsmudge I agree with you a review of a game that takes longer than 10 min is just too long.

I like the fact they show how to play. So hopfully even if they do a quick review of games they will keep up on the how to play vids

[dejagore]

have You played a session of this game with 'Tales and Legends' expansion ?

[Bodacious406]

could use better sound quality

Actually, I do appreciate the explanation of how the game is played when I look into a review of a board game. There aren't many opportunities for me to try a game out if I am interested in it other than trekking to a boardgame cafe downtown. I'd prefer knowing the mechanics of a game before I consider buying it or playing it.

I guess there's a couple of negative comments on the pacing of the video. I don't mind it. Maybe there should be a quick review for those with a short attention span, but I enjoy getting a detailed explanation of the game. I currently own it, and it also helps in clarifying the game after I've read the instructions. Thanks for the awesome video!

I have to agree with other reviewers. cut down on the banter and you won't be taking a road five miles long to get to a place one mile away. Go back and review what you said prior to posting your review . To be honest, two minutes into the actual review, I was really confused as to why I would even want to play it. Otherwise..... don't give up.
