why are you staring into my soul

it sounds like you weren't enthralled by the fantasy of this game's world. Well, neither was I! Thanks for an objective, balanced review. -Toby

I can't tell if this guy likes board games or wants to headbutt me over football

Fireteam Zero comes to mind for some reason. Love these reviews. Nice to know I am not the only.non-nerd who likes boardgames.

Thanks for making the honest review. Production quality looks very poor. Maybe ill play someone else's copy.

Great review. I was waffling in getting EBR, but the video made me stick to my initial reaction of passing and continuing to circus my LCG play on Arkham Horror and Marvel Champions. As for the card and game quality, if I remember correctly it was on bc purpose to make the game 100% recyclable. Great sentiment, but I imagine it hurts the tactile feel of it.

Great review and comments on gaming comparisons

I really don't agree with the sliders that you complain about. I think it's pretty smart since there is a required 'cost' to make the discs available. Also if you would have all the discs visible from the begining, the player area would about just as big as it is with all the sliders out. The rest of your player area is all taken up with where you build your departments and move around you workers, can't see how that should be made smaller without generating other problems with visiblility etc. Overall I would not say that the table presence is extreme, there are plenty of games that 'fills up' the table a lot more. Also if complaining about meaple colors is one of your biggest beefs with the game, it's not that much to complain about.

I'm doing my bit for the environment by not buying this game and playing something I already have. 😝

ive subscribed i have one isuue with you mate ..could you tell it as it is i think your being to polite lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great review, made me chuckle. Another negative for me is the contrast in color of the runes. On black is hard to differentiate in bad light.

As always, a great honestly blunt, review. I have not played this, but i cannot understand some of the hype its received. Thought it was not for me and your review has confirmed it. Thanks.😂

Bollocks! Most reviews praised the game a lot and told its worth the money. Im glad, you did not jump on that hypetrain. I guess I would've regretted a purchase. Save a lot of money thx to the biggest c**t in the boardgame community. Keep up the good work ;)

There are no hidden information that are not revealed right in the start, the problem is to remember it while remembering all the other information as well. And yes, if you take a gift and it’s wrong and others challenge it, they get the point.

I am sick and tired of activists. The Captain Planet theme is abhorrent to me, and an instant ignore.

When I saw both SU&SD and NPI reviewed this game I knew it had to be woke as fuck so lost any interest in it.

I honestly don't understand how this is getting the reviews it is getting. The game is so rubbish

Every time I watch a review of yours I end up buying a game. Today I snagged a copy of Pathfinder for $15 on eBay.

I think it is bizarre how the other reviews didn't actually go through what you do when playing, bit of an emperor's new clothes moment.

If you’re after an intriguing story - read a book. I’d watched other glowing reviews but still couldn’t work out what the actual game was here beyond a nice plot and an eco message - it’s good to find out that there isn’t one really. Can’t say it’s saved me £100 though - a game would have to be truly exceptional to get me to consider spend anything like that.

Controversial!

Dont like the game but the other games you name are more expensive if you want the same amount of content

I do wonder why you bought this and thought it could be for you 😂

Great, thanks I had considered backing...I'm glad I didnt

The quality and price are of course well justified because the game is sustainably produced... As in they slapped 'sustainability' on the box and can now change whatever they want for a bunch of poor quality fire starters.

After the No Pun Included review, I needed this to clear the BS.

We have this game and are undecided as to whether we like it or not. Just to mention something on your component quality points... The game has been made apparently as sustainably and eco friendly as possible and that is why the game is physically made the way it is. For instance the cards don't have a plastic coating as the designers believe most people sleeve this rendering it pointless. Likewise very little glue etc has been used. So whilst I agree with your point, the reason is as stated above. 🤟🏻

Finally an honest review of the game

Great review as always. Waitin now for it to be tuesday.

Nice. Good to see someone not wanking themselves silly over this game.

Thanks for the video! We actually like this game quite a lot.

As a tree hugger I was never pulled to this game. I believe it is very overrated and agree with what you say 100%. Thank god I stayed away. I'll gladly stick to my Arkham lcg

Arkham horror and pathfinder adventure card game are my two top coop board games that exist so I need this game. Also SUSD gave this way higher praise and they are usually right. A shame you didn't really get into it. Our tastes don't generally align so I doubt I am going to share your feelings on it once it arrives, but its cool to have another opinion. I'll see how it lands for me when it gets here :P

Shit quality and high prices is what you get when saving the environment.

Thanks for the review. Seen a lot of hype about this from different content creators and I was really unsure (mainly due to the price point). Glad you have mentioned this in your review.

‘\”Rave reviews” for this are “paid reviews”, as it is in most games.

I ordered it, and I wish I had watched this review first. Doesn't seem like something I would like.

I knew all that glowing praise meant it was overrated. This seems very similar to Dune: Imperium and Oath in my eyes: Overwrought, contrived nonsense, where the game is constantly robbing you of all your options, starving you, and ending up as a boring slog where you didn't actually get to explore the mechanics that much or have any damn fun. No thanks.

It’s amazing what frucking mass marketing will do. They sent this game and some bucks to every sheep reviewer on RUclips and got “rave reviews” …. People never learn. They will sell millions of this bullshit game because of marketing

I like the solar punk theme. Components seem very pretty and bring the theme to life. But after seeing gameplay videos, it doesn’t seem like a genre for me really. When it comes to co-ops, I love dungeon crawlers with dice chuckin’ combat. EBR won’t scratch that itch for me. It has a nice slow burn for folks who don’t like a lot of combat/ conflict. Seems great for folks who like a comfy adventure

Bollocks

I'm an avid solo gamer but had my doubts about this one, but went in on the KS anyway. Set it up, played some of it... and then stopped halfway through. i got the same "on rails / flowchart" feeling as you, and realized that it just wasn't for me. So I agree with your review, other than the visual aspect: I think it looked good.

Ill never forget the time I was tricked into playing Golem based on how the box looked. BOY was I disappointed 🤯

I was interested in this game because of all the praise it was getting. But, after your comparison to Arkham Horror LCG , which I am a huge fan of, I think I'll pass and just stick with AH: LCG

Thank you for saving me a bunch of money. Keep seeing all these glowing reviews and I just didn’t see why.

Thank you for the review, I have searched so many reviews but none of them can be as straightforward as yours. The overwhelming positivity was frigtening. Still my favourite and the best RUclips boardgame channel.

Mate I love your channel. You are a real one 🤘💪

I see someone punting a card tray for this on ebay for 40 quid. I mean, who? just who??

Unsure about the game but that artwork looks gorgeous. Hope to see these artists in future games

I got this game because I primarily play alone and I heard it was a very good solo game. I found the issues you did. Very tedious to rebuild the deck each time you move as you're trying to get somewhere. Drawing so few cards into your hand made the game play feel slow. I did enjoy the little story elements, but honestly after 4 plays I just never had the desire to pull it off the shelf. Now it's been sitting for months and I feel pretty over it. I'd much rather play something like D100 Space now that the Galaxy Builder book is out.
