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: youtu.be/H-7OvR3rXFE

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)

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.
