A game like this is a lot of fun for its theme. However I always deduct points for a game which can come down to if I lose to a single dice roll. It can be really thrilling in the event that you win but it can be very disheartening to the point of not picking the game back up again if you go through all that effort and and then lose anyway.
Granted you could say a lot of games come down to a final dice roll but in a game like this it can feel like that final dice roll can make or break all the effort you spent.
It still seems worth picking up for anybody who's a fan of the video game and likes board games which I am one of and there's a reason this thing is sold out everywhere. It's five out of five for theme. But I think mechanically it might be a 3 1/2 out of 5.
53:08 Nikki (about Shane): "He might have a little bit of a drinking problem…"
Nikki, you've got no idea xD
loved the intro!
Greenscreen?
Yaaaaay! Just saw that you won the game on that roll! I was very tense then, and got really happy Nicki got the roll you guys needed.
I always imagined an episode where you guys bring wil wheaton on as a special guest to join you guys at the table. wonder what that would look like…
Longest intro ever, haha. Great to have you back, guys, thanks!
Wow that was intense. Maybe you could make it easier, by taking one more season card each season
I'll be honest, Only Gamenight and Board Games can make Farming fun for me! 😀 Great playthrough!
Wow, that came down to the wire! Congrats on the narrow win!
Also, though it didn't really end up impacting the game, I want to clarify the Mixed Seeds item. You don't plant the two crops like you did; you just get them outright, so you could've just plopped two pumpkins (or whatever other crop you wanted) into your inventory for free.
Continuity error when explaining how to play the game…we saw into the future.
This looks fun! How is the replayability of this game?
oh god that clutch
Stardew valley is one of my favorite video games. Please play more of this!
With the second printing, the creator made moving down the mine easier, plus, getting hearts is easier because everytime you donate to the museum you gain a heart.
3 hours of game coming down to a single die roll. You should have just rolled that one roll three hours ago, and then go do other things 😉
(Also Lincoln's "I need a friend" sounded very pathetic 😀 )
That got really tense at the end. Looks like a fun game I should check it out some time.
Nikki seems to be in such a goofy mood in this episode. I love it!
I'm months behind in watching this, and I'm only half-way through the gameplay explanation at the moment, but this is giving me some Robinson Crusoe: Family Farm Edition vibes, at the moment.
I'm not sure how often you do replays of a game, but it seems like this one is popular what do you think about doing a customized seasons deck to your liking, maybe pre-setting some Grandpa cards which have you not in the mine and do more museum stuff, pick different jobs etc.
Surprised during the review none of you mentioned anything about length of play. I've seen three plays of this game which all finished with reviews and two review only videos and the top remark is how luck dependent the game is, quickly followed by the game length and everyone mentions they wouldn't play the game with more than two people because at three and then certainly at four the scaling the game makes you do is ridiculous.
Literally never heard of this game (pc) and then decided to watch the game play videos mentioned above and this is quite cute. This game (board) seems more like an activity than a true game, but with that understanding still a nice time. Thanks for the play (and maybe another haha).
Also, I cast a second thumb for a Star Wars: Outer Rim playthrough
It feels like Uwe Rosenberg helped create this one 😄 Looks really fun!
"You've got the cat, you make the rules".
LOL, I see what you did there 😀
Krobus HATES forageables…. I'm sorry but WHAT?! He loves Horse Radish! XD XD
Watching this video WHILE listening to the Stardew Valley soundtrack in the background is peak living my best life. Great video by the way!
The rule book actually does state that it is possible to catch more than one fish during one action if your roll matches up with the card icons. So if there was one fish that needed a junimo symbol and one that needed a heart symbol and you roll two hearts and a junimo you could actually take both of those fish. This is in addition to catching as many crab pot fish as you are able, so you could technically clear out the entire fish track in one action if you got lucky enough ! (And if you had enough inventory space) 🙂
Good game. Really good game.
Can Aaron stop telling Nicki what to do. Like he keeps microing this whole video…
37:49 I'm gonna use that line on my wife sometime. lol
42:25 "I've got wood for the fire" – haha, Robinson Crusoe reference, I like it.
I have never played the video game, it just didn't appeal to me, but my daughter has spent hundreds of hours on it. I'm a huge board game fan but she's only mildly interested in them, so I bought this game to entice her to play more! Much to my surprise, Stardew Valley the board game looks like a lot of fun and I can't wait to play it. Thank you for this fantastic video!
Got a copy of this coming tomorrow, and there's no Dave in this video, so that's my next few hours sorted 🙂
I think the guy fishing should’ve shifted the strategy to help you the others like mining
My game arrived today and thought I would check yt for a good instructional vid and watched every minute of this. Really enjoyed it
I love how you guys did this video can’t wait to get my copy of the game
In the newer version of the game, I believe that whenever you donate to the museum you get a heart, which is so much better and makes the trip worth it
100 hours? That's low
"I need to make friends, but I've got nothing to give."
I feel you, Lincoln 😢
That was an intense ending. I accidentally jumped ahead to the review portion and thought, from what I heard, that you ended up with the opposite result. It was crazy to see that last roll!
nikki like dead weight lol
