I thought the same terraforming mars combined with wingspan
It is so pathetic to recommend a game because your wife likes it. Maybe then she should be doing the reviews on this channel?
I have played it on the BGA and want to say that I also feel daunted by the too many options and possibilities to earn points. Sometimes I even compost cards just to not paralyse myself. I feel I would still prefer Wingspan and terraformng mars. Wingspan is more elegant in the way you build engine from what you hardly gained and is more okay with higher player count. Transforming mars is just more complex engine. I feel that everybody picks earth for the best playing time versus actions ratio
The first game I played before you reviewed it! 😀 I have to say, with more plays I want to play it less and less. I don't like the simultaneous actions, it's more chaotic and solitaire. I don't know what islands the other 3 players had at the end. The cards are so balanced I feel I can do just about anything and will get a fair amount of points. With 2 players the goals are not about who get's them first, but if you get them, so you don't need to be in a rush. Also because it's play time all the time you have no breathing room and I felt a bit drained after that. The end game scoring takes forever. 😀 All in all this game made me appreciate Ark Nova more and showed me than building engine is for no good if you can't interact with other players/engines. I don't mind it, but I would pick other games to play (7/10). It's a quick crunchy multiplayer solo puzzle.
It s spelled 'Everdell' 😉
Great game, but one thing stops me to categories it as "must have" – it's kind of not very unique.
The mechanism where the inactive players get to do the same thing as the active player (albeit to a lesser degree) is also found in "New Frontiers" (among other games). It's a great mechanism, IMO. But as I already have "New Frontiers" and like the space theme, is it worth also getting "Earth"? Not so sure.
Nicely done review. Good pros and cons. Quick to explain what it’s like, how it plays and some honest evaluation with playing partners. 👍👍
How do you guys think it matches up with Ares Expedition. I got that one already and from what I understand that game generally has the upper hand. The only reason I still consider this one is the girlfriend approval factor.
This game is going to be a hit. My wife-person is also a big fan. I don't think there's an easier game to teach at this complexity level. It legit takes 10 min or less to explain.
Kind of in the same bag as Janis ^^, it sits somewhere between Wingspan and TM, it feels like more refined Ares Expedition. Altho I would not say I liked it more than Wingspan but definitely more than TM. It has a good spot in a collection, it is shorter than than both Wingspan and TM, but is not as crunch as elegant as Wingspan in my opinion, but as it is shorter and scratches the same each it has its place
This game sounds like Everdell mixed with Verdant, I want it so bad 😀 Great review! I want it even more now 😀
Huh. I own Earth (Deluxe), Terraforming Mars (Big Box), Everdell (Complete Edition), so… I probably don't need Wingspan.
The more I play the more I enjoy it, and the more I can learn to read other players and how to mitigate their tableau, it's all about timing, it's like a Wingspan but made better and simultaneously, it's simply amazing!
Great review! Got this recently and feel this solves Wingspan's biggest problem (in my opinion) of being over too quickly, just when you get a good engine going the turns are over. With Earth you feel like you get good use of your engine. Glad you guys reviewed this!
Wow glad you guys like the game that much and thanks to have taken the time to review Earth 🙂 Well appreciated!
i love the quality and format of your videos! keep it that way.
After I tried it, this went straight to the top of my rankings on Board Game Geek (I use decimals and everything to tier it). I can’t wait to get a copy (my friendly local game store sold out instantly, so I had to try someone else’s)
Can we get a review of everdale? Not heard of that one 😂
I Love this game when I saw the cover… Considering that we have Cascadia and Planet at home, which of these games will you pick as their companion: Earth, Parks, Meadow, Evergreen or Verdant (in terms of the Nature Theme). Thanks! 👍🙂
Earth or Ark Nova?
have to try that everdale game. hope it's as good as everdell.
First time I've seen one of your reviews, and I loved your style! Subscribed!
Great review & very nice smooth format! 👏
Another great review guys but…Everdell not Everdale. 😂
Great video, although I must admit that the videos I most expect for –
Are those which about games that have a lot of buzz around and yet – there's no consensus about them..
(For example 'Marvel Age of Heroes')
This is on my radar, looks good defo for family game level with kids of 8 and 10, they play Everdell happily. I like the idea of stimutanous play as it would keep my 10 year old from getting up to kick a ball around while other people are taking their turn (maybe😂)
We have TM as well which we love but this sounds not as complex.
First review I have seen from you guys, and just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the layout! Quick video but I got an awful lot from it, keep it up! (Also, I just have to say this… and I'm sorry… but its EverDELL, my wife always calls it Everdale even after 200+ plays……😁)
I haven't seen your videos in a while, but I now I remember your videos have a nice chill vibe that has a calming effect while being entertaining. Thank you.
Beta man, Start thinking on your own.
Thank you! Love your reviews. You give so much information in a short time. I think this game may be a good fit for our family; we are fairly new to modern board games. This sounds like a good next step toward more complicated games.
How is player interaction on this one? Is that the kind of game that you just mind with your own farm, or in this case: earth? Can you mess with other people's earth or plans ? 😈
Now I just need a place to find it and buy it
Thanks for the review, good points 😉
So smooth..
Loved the review, you guys are amazing!!!
YOU ARE BOTH AWESOME! ❤❤❤
I love these card-based engine building games (Wingspan, Everdell, etc). The unique thing about this game is that it can get pretty big but is much shorter. And you're always doing something because of the simultaneous actions. It's also like you guys said, crunchier than Wingspan.
