Fair enough!

Just understand that my purpose was to go quickly, and to overview the game, not review it. The point of the video is to take very little of your time, and to give you a quick visual reference. This is what the other video series don't do, which I why I made the Brief Overview series very brief, and sometimes, fast-paced.

I was making the kind of videos I wished someone else would do. Some may like it, some may not.

Thanks for the feedback!

About the review: For me it was fast but that was the intention (aka a 3 minute overview). I personally liked it because I now have a decent understanding about the game. If I was to teach the game I would obviously read the rules, but if I was debating if I should buy the game or not this to me is perfect. So I salute you! Job well done! Keep it up!

About the game: I haven't seen another game like it. It looks unique, medium-light gameplay, fun and high player interaction with some cutthroat potential. All in three minutes! Thanks again!

Also you have a great radio-type voice.

There should be 2 types of review.

The once who give you a brief overview of the game. Show you how it looks and "how" it plays very compact, maybe a bit of info about the depth of the game (fun/luck/strategy/tactics)
These reviews shouldn't be to long, better say fast!

And the reviews who explain the game step by step, bits/how it looks/gameplay step by step/conclusion.

Personally when im looking for new games and i see a review takes more than 10 mins its a bit to much for me. But if i seem to like a game i don't mind that.

So thats why i say : a Great review to get a good "first impression" of the game!
It sure gave me one!

Keep up the good work! thumbsup

Great job man! Short, clear, and informative! I was just watching to remember the rules, but now I look forward to checking out your other videos if you have any. I'm sure a marathon wouldn't take long

I LOVE the speed of this overview, I wish all games had these as well as the longer, in-depth reviews for when I am more seriously interested in a game.

Thank you for doing this. I look forward to viewing all of your Brief Overviews, they fill a much-needed niche in the gaming world. Perfect!!

Me Too. I'm waiting for your next vid. You should list the games you have and take a poll for what you should do next.

After my RftG overview, I abandoned the Brief Overview series. I don't have the time for this project anymore.

Thanks for your interest though!

wow, really fast, but flows so well. I learned how to play the game without wasting any time. Knowing how to play the game helps me most when it comes to deciding if I want to play/buy a game, but usually those type of videos are 15 minutes each. Trying to narrow down 10 or 20 choices can take forever that way.

I wish every review was this efficient.

I even felt I had time to leave this comment.

So I am Curious.
What do you think of the game?
I really like the artwork and the play sounds fun.

Actually, I traded this one away because my wife never wanted to play it. It was well-liked in my gaming group though.

I thought it was fun. But if you have someone who's really good at this kind of strategic thinking, he'll win the majority of the time.
