From Oathsworn taking up as much space as 3.5 Gloomhaven boxes to Skyrim and Stardew Valley board announcements to Kickstarters being taken down for IP Infringement or just outright canceled its kind of crazy right now.
In this almost hour long video I’m going to take you through each and every one of them.

To this day, my worst experience with a game developer has been the Super Dungeon Explorers Legends kickstarter. It almost single handedly turned me away from board gaming
I agree a 100% about Bloodstone. They were charging way too much for the amount of things they were offering. That is exactly why I did not back it. Looks like a lot of companies now want to become the next GW charging outrageous prices for very little content. Also, I would definitely like a Hocus Pocus board game 🙂
Thx for the news. helps alot.
More please!!
Tiny epics are great but I don't see the need for more than one or two, which I have.
Hoping Bloodstone comes back stronger. Wasn't a backer but it definitely looked cool
Always enjoyable and informative.
I still like the look of Tiny epic dungeons😁
I love your work man !
Thanks for the video, great stuff coming in! I'm glad you are honest and blunt, I am the same way and prefer things straight up, not sugar coated. Especially when it comes to me spending money on risky kickstarter where we won't see games for 2+ years.
Kudos to the one who notice the same shape for the pants in the Batman games nice observation and also get a life lolol
I have been educated! I take back my comments for Ravensburg and hope it means Gargoyles will be good 🙂
Thanks guys for being such awesome rockstars!
Ravensburger is one of the colossus of the gaming scene… But It's a european company and a german one, so for an anglo-american It's only "a bunch of crap". Embarassing, but not exactly surprising neither
A lot of the complaints on Bloodstone were that they weren't really focusing on the game so much, more about the setting and stuff. They were trying to build this world, but since no one was familiar with it, no one reeeallly cared. In the end, it was overpriced and not showing off a lot of unique experience/gameplay, so it didn't get much traction.
My main thing with the cancellation was how from the start they said "no stretch goals, it's complete from the start" sort of thing, but 200% funding wasn't really enough? Whatever.
Shame Bloodstone didn't work out, hopefully they'll get it right in version 2. Really felt like they went too premium without bothering to check the market for interest. Extra large minis and "sundrop" prepainted, these things don't come cheap. When you look at the content without those considerations its a $70 game and while to some its worth extra to get those type of premium upgrades for me I would rather just get the game at half the price.
Wow, you dont know Ravensburger! Sry man, but that is just …..
"It's not about the money" LMFAO!!
I thought MotU Board Game is for US while the wargame is for EU.
I need more Petersen game content! 😛
27:30 Technically, she's wearing an oversome instead of an overall then, isn't she? 😀
No news about the Rainbow Six Siege board game from Mythic Games?
We cannot see what you are pointing at!
I came to see all the amazing comments on Ravens burger. I am not disappointed. Love the kickstarter coverage, but the board game world is HUGE!
Excited for this month's Mythic Battles!
7:55 I think Orconomics looks awesome. But the shipping is a lot and I'd want the metal coins and I couldn't just $90 for that game, so instead i just opted out of it and decide to save that money for Super Fantasy Brawl next week. (I'm fully aware those games are nothing alike)
Regarding Bloodstone, you harping on about the "it's not about the money" for several minutes is a super bad take. I think you misunderstood what they were actually saying. You took ONE sentence of James saying "it's not about the money" and took it as actually being all about the money. If you watched the Q&A, it was all about the negative feedback they got in the campaign, the way that people were critical of it and their reveals, the overall package being offered, and how continuing the campaign and/or releasing the game in its current form would look for the company.
IMHO, your "I don't take money from publishers" mindset really skews your opinion on subjects like this and leads you to misinterpret and incorrectly laser-focus on single sentences like this.
Morphius on skyrim?…whoahhhhh…..PDF/books I can understand, but miniatures-BGs?…They sure mess up siege of Citadel KS 2016 delivery to 2021… so, be warned (read that project comments).
The rest doesn't seem much of my interest…Ragnarok slightly…too many nordic-fantasy games around..
Grats on the new dog!! Nothing like the first few months with a new puppy. No sleep, cleaning up messes, and one disaster after another but so worth it
Hi! Great video. The Oahtsworn Base Pledge (with standees) is equal to a Gloomhaven box size?
Bloodstone died because it had no stretch goals and u got shit value for 125 or 145 with expansion … so the campaign is the same whether it raised 100k or 100million
The main issue is the name of radlands i guess. The purple/pink theme is as 40 years and more older, and right now realy often used.
35:15 great, my daughter heard that and came running around the corner
funny enough i am actually quite interested in that robinson crusoe premium game. i always thought about buying RC but for being a thematic experience felt that the components and illustrations just werent good enough to pull me in and be worth my game groups time. now i wonder what they will improve on… illus? at least the box is looking great already.. tokens? cardstock? maybe clean up the rulebook a bit.
Archon will have far better Masters of the Universe minis. too bad they couldnt get the license in the U.S. LAME!!!
At one point you had previewed a game about a descent into Dante's Inferno and it had a circular board. i tried to do a Google search for it and found nothing. does that game still exist? it looked unique
I know it's not a board game but Shieldwolf Miniatures has published a Kickstarter for Tallarn Desert Raiders and Death Korps of Krieg proxy miniatures called Imperium Desertum.
Probably shouldn't be giving lectures on pandering considering how much you've been gushing over Sankokushin .
I totally agree that it is about the money. It is known that the initial funding goal is always understated and stretch goals help achieve the real funding goal. It also rubbed me off the wrong way, though admitting that even achieving 197% is not enough to make a profit would be suicide.
Have to agree with you on TED. I just backed Bardsung and few add ons with that so why would I want a light dungeon crawler with no story?
Fine for short game with your kids I guess but I can see myself getting bored after couple games.
I like how your honest about games and not sold on everything.
Some channels I’ve unsubscribed as it’s obvious they’re being paid and are sold on everything.
Wow, that waz a lot of stuff that I didn't care anything about 🙂
Mmm. For Radlands, the colors are just vaporwave, aren't they? That it's "rad" if you use vaporwave is pretty expected, so a pun on badlands with rad is also obvious.
For the record, I played in two pen&paper campaigns that called itself "radlands" and one used vaporwave title cards. So to me it just feels obvious that the real criticism to me for all of these people is "get better titles, not the thing everyone immediately thinks of".
Shame about the masters of the universe game 🙁 limited preorder exclusive mini with gameplay features sigh. Just want a complete product as one package… Seems like a miss.
Surprised you skipped Forest of Radgost. Thought you had covered it a few times previously? It's done on Wednesday (March 3) I think.
Another great video!
Did you back Forest of Radgost in the end? Oh and any news on the Star of Akarios review, really want your view on it. Or Isofarian Guard?
Looking forward t your next video
Always good to see your video and have another point of view… there are too many board games on KS or GF and is important to focus in what we really like and own friend will like to play not just taking a game because look cool
Would like to get Millennium War but the fact that it will cost more for EU backers its a pass. They are charging us the full game and on top of all that i have to pay VAT myself
This video brought joy to my weekend.
Any idea how long Mythic Battles Ragnarok will run?
Can you start a Kickstarter campaign for the puppy? 10$ pledge = 1 pet, 20$ pledge = 1 pet + 1 kiss, All-in $50 pledge = 5 pets and 5 kisses.
You have to do it in a livestream for proof 😉
55:48 those two games have VASTLY different art styles
King of average I think you're smoking crack but the Batman game is trying to fit the comic book style of The Dark Knight series it's not supposed to be bamming Chronicles and the you not really buying the game so I 4 miniatures look at the gameplay itself look at the rest of the game as a whole that's why you wanna back night game not for much is stupid miniatures they just are extra and you don't like that then get the $60 version so the focus on the miniatures and how you don't like him is irrelevant it doesn't matter and in reality they're actually not that badd is like they're good or badd if they are what they are for what they're supposed to do that's what it is
Have you seen the enormeous amount of banning and censoring going on on bbg? It's on the topic of Tiny Epic Dungeons and female representation (2 things you also cover in the video) The female designer of Wingspan started a thread completely trashing Tiny Epic while it is live on KS for it's classic high fantasy trope representation of the female characters. It's true the art does have the same problems with female characters as we often see, but they already changed some things and c'mon trashing a project from a fellow designer while it's live? And the worst part is everyone that disagrees with her point of view or makes constructive remarks has had their comments deleted and been banned from the discussion by bgg. In the KS comment section dozens of people say they have been banned just for things like asking for a source of the information. This is censoring in it's purest form and I think you should look into it. I never used bgg much, but this makes me never wanna go on it again. The worst part is they have such a huge influence on the community.
Ouch, I'm going to struggle to keep watching this and take it seriously after you crapped on DKR's artwork. Maybe it's a generational thing, but FM has some of the most iconic and influential panels in Batman's history.
This is mostly a pointless comment, but I genuinely couldn't keep myself from making it 😉
