#JasonReviews #boardgamemechanics #news 0:00 - Intro 0:07 - Title Screen 0:25 - Description of the Game 2:06 - Components 7:05 - Final Thoughts 11:29 - Credits Strap up your piratical boots, and navigate your ship through turbulent waters in Sail, a co-operative trick-taking game for two players. Reach the end of this dangerous deep end, and avoid taking damage from the Kraken to win the game together...or your crew will be sleeping with the fish! Before each round begins, players exchange cards, then play a series of tricks. Different game actions will be triggered depending on who wins each trick in combination with the unique character skills. However, the crashing sea water and the roaring Kraken make for a deafening situation, and players are unable to communicate about tactics and card information from the moment cards are dealt to the end of the action phase. Players win the game as a team if they sail their ship into the final token before the Kraken reaches the Death tile or the Kraken deck is exhausted. - description from publisher - To watch the play through for this game click the link below: https://youtu.be/S2jOagjojGk For more information about Sail: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/377470/sail To check out a little bit of everything that we do visit our website at: https://www.bgmechanics.com Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theboardgamechanics Follow us on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/boardgamemechanics Tweet at us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/bgmechs If you would be interested in having us review/preview a game, or just want to chat, shoot us an email at: contact@bgmechanics.com

#JasonReviews #boardgamemechanics #news 0:00 - Intro 0:07 - Title Screen 0:26 - Description of the Game 1:43 - Components 3:23 - Final Thoughts 6:14 - Credits You've prepared your whole life for this. Every movie you've seen, every show you've watched, every song you've listened to, every place you've visited, every book you've read, every kind of food you've eaten, and every person you've ever heard of makes you better at this game. It's finally time to get credit for everything you already know! In Everything Ever, you and your friends take turns listing things from categories like "Every Dinosaur Movie" or "Every Brand of Soap". Two category cards are in play, and on your turn, you must say something that fits in one category and something that fits in the other, with both of those somethings not having been said previously. If you can't think of something, you can play a category card from the three in your hand to cover the one you're blanking on, then name something from that new category. If you can't think of something for a category, you must take that pile as a penalty, then flip a new category from the deck. If you say something that fits both categories at the same time, you can either discard one of your penalty cards or draw a new category card from the deck, then play a third category card to the table. (Once someone is penalized, drop back to two categories.) Keep your friends' iffy answers in check with judge cards, and win by collecting the fewest cards once the deck runs out. - description from publisher - To watch the play through for this game click the link below: https://youtu.be/EH7uiX_eSaI For more information about Everything Ever: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/391086/everything-ever To check out a little bit of everything that we do visit our website at: https://www.bgmechanics.com Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theboardgamechanics Follow us on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/boardgamemechanics Tweet at us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/bgmechs If you would be interested in having us review/preview a game, or just want to chat, shoot us an email at: contact@bgmechanics.com ***Review copy provided by Floodgate Games***

#JasonReviews #boardgamemechanics #news 0:00 - Intro 0:09 - Title Screen 0:27 - Description of the Game 2:24 - Components 4:43 - Final Thoughts 7:46 - Credits Gempire is the strategic hidden-action, city-building board game with different victory conditions virtually every time you play!

The first architect to satisfy any 2 of these 3 demands wins the game! However, do you want to know the best part about Gempire? You NEVER have to wait your turn! That's right! EVERY player uses their own secret planning dry-erase book to choose their actions every round, and the entire group reveals their choices simultaneously! Now you can get the most action out of the limited time you have with your gaming buddies! Using your secret Gempire planning book and your unpredictable wit, build up your city's population, gold, culture, and science and try to meet King Zarmund's random Demands in ways that your friends never saw coming! Upgrade your city, renovate your palace, and discover technologies that give you a leg up on your undeveloped opponents. Most of all, let NONE of them predict what you are writing! Always try to stay one step ahead and be the one laughing manically when the books fly open! The re-playability of this game doesn't just stop at the victory conditions though! Every game, there will be a different combination of 5 useful technologies the players can discover to boost themselves to the finish line! Also, the rewards received for upgrading your palace are different every game as well! You truly will need to adapt and fine-tune your strategy every time you play this game! If you are looking for a unique and highly engaging strategy game, Gempire is the game you've always wanted. There are no random, unforeseeable events that destroy your strategy. There is no way for vengeful opponents to easily ruin all your hard work planning a strategy (except for having a better one of course!) There are no unbalanced characters or races. And dice results are available for EVERY player, meaning no more losing just because the dice won't fall your way! Every player has the exact same opportunities 100% of the time. This game is purely a battle of brains!

#JasonReviews #boardgamemechanics #news 0:00 - Intro 0:07 - Title Screen 0:25 - Description of the Game 1:48 - Components 4:41 - Final Thoughts 7:33 - Credits Thebes is a game of competitive archeology. Players are archaeologists who must travel around Europe, northern Africa, and the Middle East to acquire knowledge about five ancient civilizations -- the Greeks, the Cretans, the Egyptians, the Palestinians, and the Mesopotamians -- and then must use this knowledge to excavate historical sites in the areas of these civilizations. Through the course of the game, expositions are revealed, and an archaeologist who has treasures from the requisite civilizations may claim the prize (this is a change from the first edition's handling of exhibitions). The archaeologist who learns the most about the civilizations, claims the greatest-valued artifacts, and collects the most exhibitions will win out over his or her colleagues. The key element to the game is that it is played out over a period of two (or three) years, and each action a player performs takes a certain amount of time -- traveling is a week between cities, gathering knowledge takes time for the level of the knowledge, and actually digging at a cultural site takes time to yield a certain number of artifact tiles. The game uses a novel mechanism to keep track of this. There is a track of 52 spaces around the outside of the board. Each time a player moves and takes an action, he or she moves their player token forward in time. Players take turns based on being the one who is furthest back in "time". So, a player can go to an excavation site and spend 10 weeks digging for artifacts, but that will also mean that the other players will likely be taking several actions in the interim while that player waits for the "time" to catch up. In addition, the artifact tiles for each civilization are drawn from a bag that also contains dirt. When a player excavates a site, that player pulls tiles from the bag, but some may only be worthless dirt instead of valuable treasure. That dirt is then returned to the bag, making the first draw more likely to provide useful tiles. This is the new entry for the Queen printing of Jenseits von Theben. As the new game changes several mechanisms of the original, and is available in a much wider release, the two games should be regarded as separate entities. - description from publisher - To watch the play through for this game click the link below: https://youtu.be/mAmx4Zl9f34 For more information about Thebes: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/30869/thebes To check out a little bit of everything that we do visit our website at: https://www.bgmechanics.com Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theboardgamechanics Follow us on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/boardgamemechanics Tweet at us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/bgmechs If you would be interested in having us review/preview a game, or just want to chat, shoot us an email at: contact@bgmechanics.com

#JasonReviews #boardgamemechanics #news 0:00 - Intro 0:08 - Title Screen 0:27 - Description of the Game 1:40 - Components 7:44 - Final Thoughts 10:39 - Credits Hanafuda cards originated in beginning of 18th-century Japan. Legend says stewards of Edo Shogunate created it from Portuguese playing cards. A deck consists of forty-eight cards divided into twelve suits of four cards each. Each suit represents one of the twelve months of the year or individual plants (almost all flowers). The cards are small (about 1 x 2 inches), made from stiff cardboard, and are beautifully illustrated. Many different games can be played with a Hanafuda deck. The standard game was Hachi-Hachi (Eighty-eight), which resembles the Western game Casino, but is more complicated and subtle. The standard game now is Koi-Koi. —description from the publisher To watch the play through for this game click the link below: https://youtu.be/hh9IQT6DpgU For more information about Hanafuda: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/5451/hanafuda To check out a little bit of everything that we do visit our website at: https://www.bgmechanics.com Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theboardgamechanics Follow us on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/boardgamemechanics Tweet at us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/bgmechs If you would be interested in having us review/preview a game, or just want to chat, shoot us an email at: contact@bgmechanics.com
