Chris, you were on fire with this discussion. The zingers and reactions were a blast. Oh, and the game explanation was understandable, too.

Haute couture is not meant to be worn in the streets in the same way an immense amount of art pieces aren't meant to be hanged on the wall of your house. It is literally a piece of art with no other purpose whatsoever than showing the designer's artistic vision or commentaire about some aspect of existence.

Fair enough. My problem with the high fashion industry is the enormous amount of abuse and exploitation the is the churning engine of the whole thing. I just can’t stomach appreciating the artwork of people who are so comfortable with participating in such monstrosity. I can’t just ignore all that and look at the art for its own merit.

@@EmeraldWaters-uq1jb I take your points, and generally speaking I agree about the ubiquity of exploitation in all our products, but the fashion industry is rife specifically with sexual exploitation of underage girls and while it may be hard to avoid overwatered crops and the exploitation that goes into them, I certainly can avoid lavishing praise on people who are cozy with the most heinous of exploiters. The exploitation in modeling and the fashion industry is so widespread it is near universal. I just can’t morally see past the faces of the models to the piece of art they are wearing and be ok with it.

This game looks fun. The fashion industry theme is unique, and for a "filler" game, introduces that theme in a very accessible and engaging way. As a self-described omni-gamer, I do hope to add this to my collection at some point. As for the review, it was entertaining and insightful to hear what everyone had to say. But I do have one minor complaint. Mr. Tom Vasel, to me, is one of the main reasons I delved deeper into this hobby, as probably is the case for many, many others. But I will say that although he is the godfather of board game reviews and one of the best, if not the best out there, I wish he wouldn't be so quick to rule out a playthrough of a game at the highest player count. Sure, I understand for Tom he has experienced games that play terribly at the highest player counts so he could make that assumption, or he assumed that maybe one of the other DT staff members would playtest at the highest player count. But as the board game review godfather that he is, I would have hoped he'd do a completely thorough review. Don't get me wrong, I still admire the man. But unfortunately for the video, although it may seem slightly trivial, no one did mention it at it's max player count, and it still would have been interesting to hear the dynamic of a six-player game. My assumption is at six players, yes, certain people won't get cards during certain rounds, but with that prior knowledge, how does the play style of six players work when they try to outbid the others for powerful cards in certain cities, or if knowing that the most others would go for those powerful cards, do players aim for the less powerful cards in the other cities, weighing the risk and strategizing that they know they'll at least get a card (or maybe even more). And especially for a "filler" game, sometimes they tend to play at higher player counts, when played at social gatherings or family functions. Sorry for the long spiel. Just my two cents. Again, much appreciated Tom, Mike, Chris, and "Dressed like this" Zee Garcia (as well as the rest of the DT crew).

Great review and glad to see it play well- I backed the 4 and this one was the one I was least excited about. It appears I was wrong in my assumptions. However, next time I would appreciate the insight with this one and other reviews- on all player counts if it was enjoyable or not, flow, pace & feel. It was very apparent it was concern but wasn't addressed via an actual experience.

You've reviewed Chomp, Sail, and Couture...will you be reviewing Mind Space for the full set? I really want to know how that is, especially as a solo experience. It looks calming and pleasant but the theme is a little odd.

I know you asked The Dice Tower, but I’ll put my two cents in and say Mind Space is a very well-made, if somewhat by-the-numbers roll and write. It plays like a combination of Silver & Gold and Cartographers; you’re trying to fill out your board with polyominos, but each color you select has a unique way of scoring. It’s a little mind-bending at first, juggling all the different variables, but it’s fun! The production is beautiful, especially the deluxe brain dice
