A board game channel with a video every couple of Mondays.
The first Monday I do a Top 10 based around a different board game topic, a review-style vid, convention coverage or something else board game related.
On the third Monday I release a 'how to play' video which you can use as a rules refresher or as a rules overview rather than a rulebook replacement, they're pretty quick but very concise!
Also, check out my Insta ( jestatharogue) and Threads (www.threads.net/@jestatharogue) to stay up to date with what's happening with the channel.
I also blog at jestatharogue.com where I review a game every Tuesday.
Enjoy and remember to like, share and subscribe and of course, leave a comment!
Thanks!

How not to run a Kickstarter (or play Monumental)
A look at how Funforge messed up the Kickstarter "African Empires", the expansion to "Monumental".
I look at the timeline of events and then look at what could and should have been done differently and what Kickstarter can do to help backers.

It’s only a game. I’d rather wait a while than have some people lose their jobs
People have lost their jobs at Funforge.
Thanks for the video, but.. Come On? It's "see-mon", right?
Not according to them.
As a backer, I am happy that they have produced the games and have come to an agreement to deliver them to backers. Communication was terrible but they never asked us for more money. Perhaps they should have done so. Hopefully they will all get delivered.
Well, I’m in the UK so they might (and probably will) still ask us to pay more which sucks.
Thanks so much for this video! For some reason the rulebook wasn't doing it for me, but this greatly helped!
Thank you!
Great quick explanation. Thx
Thanks Larry!
This both makes me feel less bad and terrifies me about LSG and their handling of StormSunder and Wild Assent... If you aren't following, they are at the point where monthly updates are still coming about gameplay mechanics but they no longer have a schedule for the projects and stopped commenting in forums and discord the end of last year... I'm basically just waiting for the updates to stop coming.
Hmm, might need to do a video about other projects, I’ve got a couple. Ore I backed worth mentioning :)
I so nearly backed this and then nearly late pledged it. Glad I didn't seeing how this has all transpired. I managed to get a copy of the token edition on deep discount from my local game store and its a good solid, fun game, so I hope if it ever delivers you all enjoy it. Although having been on the end of a few mismanaged kickstarters I know first hand the desire to play the game can wane when you have been messed about for so long. Just hope it gets resolved soon.
Thanks Michael. I think we’re lucky that a lot of us got the base game in the first Kickstarter so we have been able to play and not have it ruined by this experience :)
I must have been lucky so far. I have not run into a mismanaged project.
I’m sure 99.9% are either well managed or at least within an acceptable level of service even with delays. But yes, you’ve been lucky… so far :)
Unfortunately, you saw the one campaign FunForge executed well on. Tokaido Collector's was well over a year late, with a whole bunch of issues. Sucks, but there are so many backers and actual retail channels that seems to be selling FunForge games that this'll eventually get to you. The company looks like it'll remain solvent.
Most have delays and many have issues, it's part of it, things happen. It's when they go silent for months I worry.
You are a taking a risk when you gamble foolishly on KickStarter. That's on you. You need to understand how KS works. You can lose your money, every time, with no recourse (outside of bitching about it, like you are doing here).
Foolishly? Watch the video first before putting on your big boy pants and getting mummy to type for you. People like you and this attitude are the reason Kickstarter is the way it is. If you had a brain cell you would see that and not let them walk all over you. Also, because of me ‘bitching’ and a couple of others ‘bitching’, Funforge have updated for the first time in 9 months so at least I’m doing something and not just moaning in the UA-cam comments like a sad little baby.
If they delivered on a previous campaign, why would backing a 2nd campaign be foolish?
@TheDonovanFisher that’s why I questioned if they watched the video :)
You must be a christian.
Atheist, but close. :)
The day you post this Boardgamewire releases another interview. This time, the CEO literally says he doesn’t care. Never ending mess.
He says nothing of the sort. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I decided not to back this, but there's nothing nefarious here, just "poorly managed company is managed poorly." Nothing he says in that interview is particularly outlandish or unusual. Small companies of all kinds struggle with liquid asset management and underestimate shipping costs on the regular. Doesn't mean you shouldn't be annoyed at how long delivery has taken, but there's no conspiracy or scam here. Just poor planning and bad luck.
Yeah agree. He doesn’t say he didn’t care. But at this point anything he says should be ignored until action is taken.
@@JestaThaRogue"I will let people chit chat and explain how some other great companies are doing so well on KS and how bad we are. *I do not really care.*" - FunForge CEO Philippe Nouhra
@EvanGMan he doesn’t care about what was said, but he doesn’t say he doesn’t care about delivering.
I'm just glad I didn't bite on the Titans add-ons, though I really wanted them.
I did! :D Funforge have logged into the Kickstarter today finally so hopefully there will be an update on the way.
I backed the minis African Expansion and the Titans foolishly. I caved and purchased the retail African Expansion on Amazon last week while it was $35. I guess I can proxy out different minis if my kickstarter version never arrives.
Titans, yeah...and there is a nicely painted retail(presumably) example in Images! Cheers.
I don’t think the Titans went to retail but they had some at conventions.
I was tempted by the titans but felt they were way overpriced.
I had not even had a chance to play the first game when they announced the expansion. Was almost glad they initially didn't want to make a token version because then I decided to opt out. Unfortunately FOMO won out when they announced they indeed would make a token version. Annoyingly enough, this is the version being sold, so if I felt like sponsoring this company I might have bought one. New update article today though on boardgamewire.
Thanks, this was helpful and succinct!
Thanks!
It's available on digital version, maybe that can make it a little easier, but it's clear that has a lot of rules. Great video, the board version looks great.
Thanks! I think I’d miss the look and feel of the game digitally. It will try and give it go anyway.
Formula D/De (for its simplicity) and Steampunk Rally (with plenty of choices) would both make it onto my list.
I only played Steampunk Rally learning it out the Rulebook at a board game cafe but it was good fun :)
No wonder the game is balanced poorly
I don’t think it is
This video was amazing. I love this game so far, but was disappointed that the rule book didn’t really give you a “how to play” section. Sure it has lots of info, terms and definitions, and such, but it doesn’t exactly walk you through setup very well, nor a turn. Six minutes into this video and we had a grasp to get us through several missions without needing too many trips to the book. Thanks for your hard work in creating this video.
Cheers dude. Helps showing the kids
Thanks Ross!
Thanks so much! This was a really helpful explanation.
Thank you!
Think I asked in a different video, but forget which one. Where did you get that Rogue shirt?
It’s a company called Gametee. They have a lot of black and white RPG shirts. I’m hoping to design my own some day :D
Loved the efficient format of the video ❤
Thanks Kaytee!
Really appreciated the overview, and insightful criticism! Def worth a sub
Thanks Bryan!
Thanks for such a great review!
Thanks! Good luck with the Kickstarter!
I'm going to back it! It's a fun game that I've played a few times now. Love the theme and think it's quite immersive. Plus the artwork is beautiful. Cannot stress enough how easy it is to teach, and how intuitive play is for new people. If you've climbed, you need to rest. Then, you prepare, and around the circle you go. But there are interesting strats - tagging definitely one, which allow you to do your own thing and have a different game every time! Great review
I agree, thanks Adam!
Just bought this at the UKGE. A very simple game to play but heavy on theme. So will keep this in my brain 'warm down' pile for after a heavy session in something more complicated.
Yeah, it’s perfect for that :)
@@JestaThaRogue Thanks for the run through by the way. I have seen too many explanation vids often 10 times your length that don't give as much info. So congrats on the clear but (extremely ☺) concise explanation.
Thanks!
Excellent, thank you. I could not for hell or high water figure out the directions for the blue die. They were not written clearly
Thanks Greg!
Thank you for making this video. It helps a lot. Do you take a video like this for the new Resident Evil board game?
Thanks! Sadly I don’t have that game so I can’t do a video.
Nice Demo !
Thanks!
Yeah, I am impressed he managed to get the game surmised in under 10 minutes.
It seems like an effort to try to simplify down or at least mix up Babylonia a little bit, one of Knizia's recent designs.
It’s getting compared to a lot of his previous games!
Correction. For boss fights: You draw one relic per player +1. Great explanation of the game! You cleared of some confusion I had.
Yeah got that, and thanks!
Hi...how would you compare this to through the desert? i mean, in term of enjoyment, not just gameplay.
Similar sort of thing I guess. I remember through the desert feeling more anxious and tight. With me wanting to win areas and get next to the Oasis etc. This felt more free and easy going.
thank you. appreciate your video. i'll be keeping an eye for it.
I found the Concordia UI/map terrible. I could never clearly tell what was going on.
I’ll probably give it miss!
Great review!
Thanks!
Yay finally someone with Suburbia in their top 10! 😄
Has been since 2012 :)
Tip for parking: Birmingham International railway station's multi-storey carpark can be prebooked for £12.50 per day (guarantees a space too), and is a lot closer walk to the NEC (via the footbridge) than the NEC's own carparks.
What a great tip Nick, thanks!
Also if you're staying at a local hotel without its own carpark, you can pay for a 3-day parking in that multistorey (for slight discount) and leave your car there for the whole expo including overnight, something you can't do (well, "is not allowed", not sure how they enforce it) at the NEC carparks.
Another one is you can get all day at resort world for £3 if you spend £20 and get your ticket validated. Not bad if you’re spending that anyway.
Since you liked Robot Quest Arena but were turned off by the price you should check out Ascension Tactics and the upcoming Ascension Tactics Inferno. It's a deckbuilder with an area control and combat theme but you get to control a squad of 3-4 characters instead of just one. It's also way, way cheaper in part because it uses standees; usually available for 60$ CAD and I got my copy brand new for 40$ CAD. It also has solo and co-op modes so it's not strictly competitive like Robot Quest Arena.
I’ll check it out, ta :)
So the students…..die?
I assumed they went back to the mansion?
Short and great summarised! Thx for that. I needed to relearn it and your video helped me a lot! 😊
Thanks you!
This video was well made, thank you for going over each topic with a fair amount of detail.
Thank you! Enjoy the game!
You look like an average board game enthusiast
Your mum doesn’t mind
@@JestaThaRogue haha you replied
I like to get in early and get as much engagement as possible, like your mum at an orgy
like a sexy beast?
Great video and awesome t-shirt haha
Ha, thank you!
Does the x-men resistance box contain both zombie and hero modes, or does it only have hero mode? I would like to get both modes for the cheapest possible price, but I can’t find a good description of what’s in each box.
You need the hero trait cards and zombie enemy spawn cards and minis from x-men resistance to play hero mode. So you need both base games.
At around 12 minutes info the video you mentioned that after boss combats players you reveal 1 boss Relic per player or 3 if solo, you're actually supposed reveal 1 per player +1 additional Relic. So in a 3 player game you reveal 4 boss relics.
Correct
Played Red and Wolf in Story book woods. Won in merely 5 turns. The chicken bone and Thorny vine combo is so broken with the wolf track mode. All you need to do is to walk/sprint. Leave the bone and thorn. End your turn, Wolf takes 3 damage for both tokens. Rinse and repeat. Do weak attack then dead. WTH this is my first game with red and wolf.
Lucky :)
Excellent instructional, fast, concise and to the point 👏👏👏
Thank you very much!
Thanks, was looking for an up to date how-to-play video of this. Many is up pre-campaign, kinda annoying. ;)
Thanks! Yeah. I had to buy it and wait for delivery but it means I can use BGGs rules section as an FAQ to make the videos more helpful :)
