The extra work really shows here. I've seen a lot of Essen videos and you just don't get a sense of game seeing a box cover. The editing showing moves and interacting with the boards are really helpful and you've turned me onto a few games that I had otherwise dismissed because of it.

Think HBO missed a trick not making King's Dilemma an official GoT game. "Not happy with our ending? Fine, make your own." Would've made a killing.

@@TCViper8618 HBO didn't make or commission that, the game is quite a bit older than HBO's series and was made at a time when the most recent book in ASOIAF was the third one, deep into the war of the five kings. IMO it fits that part very well.

Reiner Knizia with a game set in an ancient civilization - who would have guessed? - LOl. Babylonia definitely looks like a winner to me.

And your description makes me even more excited to get Pret-a-Porter soon, because my wife backed the Kickstarter. (BTW, my wife has her own KZitem channel, Meeple, PhD, which connects board games and astronomy.) Also, I was surprised and pleased by the shout-out at the end. Hi, Jon!

I want to believe you, but the last time I made a character video it was over a month of work and I didn't receive any new patrons from it. I will continue to make them, but they require far more effort than any other video. And I end up having to leave the channel dormant for weeks while I make them, which means I get less views on my return.
