Wyrmspan - How Good is the Successor to Wingspan? | Review Merlins Manor 2024-03-28 | As a big fan of Wingspan, I was excited to try out Wyrmspan. Does it hold up to the great gameplay of Wingspan?

World Wonders Organization Merlins Manor 2024-03-23 | I show how I organized World Wonders utilizing boxes I got from Michaels. The crayon box costs 99 cents and the clear bitty boxes cost $1.99 for 3. The total for all of the storage boxes was less than $7... especially since I had a coupon that made them 30% cheaper (the prices I listed are the regular prices).Small Boxes: michaels.com/product/clear-bitty-boxes-by-simply-tidy-3ct-10653356?michaelsStore=7729&inv=8Crayon Box: michaels.com/product/clear-stacking-crayon-box-by-simply-tidy-10584304?michaelsStore=7729&inv=42
How to Play World Wonders Solo with Playthrough Merlins Manor 2024-03-23 | I teach how to play World Wonders with the Solo automaton.

Essential Expansions for Board Games Merlins Manor 2024-03-19 | In this video, I go over 5 expansions that I have played that I would consider essential to add to the game to make the game objectively better (or at least as close to "objectively" better as we can get... I know this is still my opinion so there is some subjectivity here). I also briefly mention an expansion that I have heard is an essential expansion. What do you think?

How to Play Legacy of Yu with Playthrough Merlins Manor 2024-03-05 | I teach how to play the solo board game Legacy of Yu designed by Shem Phillips and published by Garhil Games and then play through the game, showing how it is played. I recommend at least watching through the first round to learn the game. From 9:50 onward, spoilers for the story for the first game of the campaign will be encountered. If you don't mind the storyline spoilers, I encourage you to watch the whole video, but if you don't want to spoil any of the story and unlocked content from the first chapter, then I recommend stopping at 9:50. You can skip to the end if you would like to know what happens after you win/ lose a game in the campaign.Timestamps:Introduction 00:00Set-up 00:30How to Play 01:28Start of Playthrough 06:54Playthrough with Spoilers 09:51After the Game 47:42
My City vs My Island | Review and Comparison Merlins Manor 2024-02-29 | I compare and review My City and My Island, which are two Reiner Knizia games published by Kosmos. There is a section with what some may consider to be spoilers. While I still try to keep things vague, I have timestamped this section and I give a verbal warning at that point in the video for those who want to avoid even a hint of a spoiler to be able to skip to the next section.I forgot to give my thoughts on replayability, so I figured I'd throw in a write-up here on replayability. My wife and I got 48 plays out of My City (playing through the campaign twice at the 2-player count) and plan to do the same with My Island. You can do this if playing 2-player games, but at higher player counts you will only get 24 plays out of the Legacy campaign as the boards are altered and there will not be enough stickers to play again either. There is also an eternal side of the player boards which offers a permanent way to play the games. We have not yet felt like trying out the Eternal Game as it does not hold the same appeal to us as the evolving legacy game. 24-48 games are already a pretty decent amount of replayability for a game of this price, and some may enjoy playing this game later as the eternal game, but I don't see that mode as being as engaging and lasting forever as there will not be a huge amount of variability in that mode outside of card draws being different and changing up the order of polyomino tiles coming out.Timestamps:00:00 Intro01:30 Art and Components02:33 Ease of Play04:13 Gameplay07:20 Spoilers08:15 Gameplay wrap-up08:46 Final Thoughts

Is Sagrada Artisans Worth the Price Tag? Merlins Manor 2024-02-24 | I hesitated to buy this game due to a discrepancy I perceived in the price of the game and the value in the game, but I bought it when I saw it on a Black Friday sale. My wife and I just finished the Sagrada Artisans Legacy Campaign. Now that I have played through the campaign and seen what else the game has to offer for long-term replayability through the booster packs, has my opinion on the value changed? Is it worth the hefty price tag? Or is the value just not there?Introduction 00:00Art and Components 02:18Gameplay and Replayability 03:59Ease of Play 07:58Theme 09:25Final Thoughts 10:06

How I Organize My Board Games Merlins Manor 2024-02-10 | While the most important aspect of finding a place for my board games is fitting them onto my shelves most efficiently to fit the most games in the smallest amount of space leads to placing some games simply where they fit, I do try to find ways to organize them by theme/ by game mechanics/ by publisher... I actually use a combination of these things mixed with size... and some just have to go somewhere.How do you organize your board games?

My camera set-up has been getting better, but I still encourage you to check out those other videos if you want to learn how each killer and location works.TimestampsIntroduction 00:00 How to Play Wolfe Asylum 00:20How to Play Ratchet Lady 02:45Playthrough 04:30Spoilers here:Again Spoilers:I accidentally missed a bloodlust increase (technically increased it and then when I changed where the Ratched Lady went for some reason I lowered the bloodlust as part of undoing the victim in one space dying and then failed to increase it when the other victim died). With the way bloodlust increased during the game it would not have made a difference until the last couple turns. While it would have forced me to either heal or get a guard instead of discarding a short rest and another card to be able to get two attacks for the next turn, it would ultimately likely only have led to either using Weak Attack instead of Furious Strike in the last round or getting a Retaliate to finish off the Ratchet Lady. The outcome would likely have been the same.
