Thank you Sir -- a very fine video review! You provide an excellent overview of the components as well as the flow of play and the clear, direct way in which you present this information is much appreciated. Well done! I look forward to more of your reviews in the future.

Thank you Sir for another excellent video review. I enjoyed your Claustrophobia review (convincing me to purchase the game) and this review was just as excellent! Please keep them coming

Nice Review! I really like this game and think it is great to see both you and Drakkenstike put out a video on it in the same day!

I was hoping to get mine up before he did, but my laziness factor got in the way.

Great review. Thank you for including some detail on how the Co-op game is played.

Co-op games are a favourite of ours, and this one is now looking a likely candidate for our next purchase!

The co-op game has two versions: regular and brutal. The brutal version sees a lot more resistance counters come out, and some of those can be nasty. If you want to play solo, you'll be using the co-op rules as well. Glad you liked the review.

Excellent news. We particularly liked the difficulty levels in Forbidden Island. Helps my short attention span on repeated plays somewhat.

Oh, and I have to say; As a bookseller by trade, I congratulate you on your bookshelves sir! Fine looking specimens, if I say so myself.

Thanks, I bought Claustrophobia after watching your review. You were spot on with that review. I enjoyed it so much that I purchased a second copy. After, watching your review of Conquest of Planet Earth, I went ahead and ordered two copies. I respect your opinion and trust your judgment. Once again, thanks!
