Cardboard, acrylic or minis? Our pick after playing the Castles of Burgundy Special Edition

We’ve now had a chance to check out an “all in“ pledge of the new Castles of Burgundy Deluxe. In this video we talk about our experiences playing with the cardboard, acrylic and (sundrop) miniatures. Our previous video includes a discussion about the Vineyard expansion (still great) and a comparison of old vs. new: Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to this video 01:15 The acrylic tiles are stunning 03:23 ...and they have practical advantages 05:50 Maggie’s fear & Amy’s frustration 10:07 Miniatures add table presence... and time-to-find 13:20 Again the monasteries *shakes fist* 15:20 Muted colour tones with sundrop wash 17:28 Cardboard, acrylic or minis? 18:06 Things that have been fixed 21:01 Wrap up (spoiler: it’s great) For more information about the game: Thanks for stopping by! We’re Amy & Maggie aka ThinkerThemer. We’re an Australian couple with two very different perspectives of what makes a great board game - Amy (Thinker) is all about the mechanics and enjoys tight, competitive games, and Maggie (Themer) is all about the storytelling and the theme of the game, and the ’world’ that the designer is trying to create. Subscribe to our channel to hear us talk about these two elements of a game, and how well integrated we feel these are in delivering a cohesive and wonderful game experience. #board games #tabletop games #thinkerthemer ❤🏳️‍🌈🇦🇺
