Bought that game a few years ago and it's one of my regular go to with my friends, took us at least 3 game's to fully understand the rules

i enjoyed this review
@darbyl3872 April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
Symbiotic is a fun genre, compared to semi-cooperative, co-op, or purely competitive. There's so much goodness here. The rules are fantastic. The components are cool. The artwork is good-looking. The gameplay is great. You could buy 20 different packs of Uno, or spend the same amount on a masterpiece like this.

Two things. 1) I just bought this and it's my first Vital Lacerda game. Everybody told me not to buy it. They said it's too complicated. They said I'll be frustrated. They said Gallerist would be better. I don't care and I can't wait for it to get here after watching this video! :D 2) I just watched this and it's my first No Pun Included video. Loved everything about it. The camera work. The editing. The playful banter. Thank you for not fading to black in the first 45 seconds!

With my severe ADD I mostly just heard high pitched hum through the whole video
@tigerpjm April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
Fewwwf!

I'm exhausted just watching that review! It looks way too complicated and, knowing my game group, will never get played.

Which is why I just bought it.

Obviously!

Because, like actually settling On Mars, it will probably never happen in my lifetime. But, if the right sequence of events takes place, maybe it will. And I don't want to miss that opportunity, no matter how unlikely.

New to this channel and I love the two of you already 😂❤️. I’ve been delving too much lately on channels that showcased lots of board game scales easy, intermediate and heavy and plethora of titles. Just got so overwhelmed and excited and your video is like breath of fresh air with the entertainment value sprinkled in it 😆👍.
@dave0754 April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
I had placed this game on my "for sale" pile but rewatching this review made me change my mind. Maybe I'll just play it solo after all.
@BlazblueFan April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
Thank your for a great review. I was looking into this game, because I love thematic euros (Terraforming Mars is favorite in my family), but also I kind of want something less involved lately. Sadly, I just don't have enough time and patience to learn and play such an extensive game.
@Kr1stmas April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
Easily the most engaging, funny and insightful reviews of boardgames on YouTube.
@teratoma. April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
4:10 dude this transition is insane
@ylein6508 April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
It’s heavy but once you play it and understand the game, it is very thematic and every step makes sense.
@carnalito80 April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
You two need to get outside.. :P
@benjoslin3782 April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
Every time you show the box on the table, I think "Damn, that's a huge box! "
@partiesprivees8829 April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
On Mars is still our favorite game of all times, but this video is still our favorite video about the game.
@christianhorvath791 April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
What is a euro game? I hear that name all the time and have no idea what euro games are
@yashizuko April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
This game looks good etc. but at what point you can apply the phrase "It's so complicated you could have made it in a videogame" i bet this would be a nightmare to explain to my friends.
@frankmeredith2422 April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
I actually canceled my KS pledge because of the color palette: the game is clearly a huge brain burner, and there is NO WAY I want to stare at this color combination for hours at a time. I don’t know why, but they make me feel annoyed and almost nauseous. So sorry!
@stacie_everdell April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
I love the look of this game—all the colorful components, the art, the table presence—but I think if I ever tried to play it, my head would explode. :)
@radioactiveali4619 April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
NPI: On Mars is as complex as board games get
High Frontier: Hold my beer.
@dczepiel April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
Cool, I played it once & it does give you that experience, that whatever you play later, no matter how complex - will always feel less complex than On Mars. I lover Lacerda games, I just stay on Earth.
@kreativtetspsykologi2395 April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
What happened to your other Vital Lacerda reviews? Where did they go?
@BoardGameCoffee April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
Great review ;) Always entertaining
@HerrFinsternis April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
If the first 25 seconds were the entire review I would have loved you forever 😂

But I would have wanted the entire thing the next day.
@truce11 April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
What camera and mic are you guys using to make this great videos? Production and environment is really great
@emmybnye April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
Actually LOL'd at the intro. Great review, ya'll!
@jadam42 April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
15:35 oh but wait, soon it will be cooperative! Lacerda is making an expansion for it — Surviving Mars
@hatchimmmmm April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
bought it becouse of this review
@ClockworkWyrm April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
I really want to pick up this game as it looks amazing. Sadly I think this is far too complex for my usual gaming group.

Aesthetically On Mars is probably my favourite of the various recent Mars themed games with Mission: Red Planet coming in a close second.
@sloikalamos April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
Even if it's a heavy game, once it's running, the choices are not as much as you thought. My group enjoyed this so much!
@rooter6 April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am

@user-vh4hd9bi7p April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
This is the greatest board game review humanity has ever made
@ryandavenport3893 April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
DIdn't think this game was a difficult as it was made out to be(not just by you guys to be fair). Surely it IS heavy and requires the rules to be read and then re-read. But after one mistake filled game, we got through game 2 with hardly any issues or rule checks. I just think there is much heavier stuff out there, and I think Lisboa is harder to learn. NPI being seasoned board game vets I was surprised they struggled with it. Those 18xx games they just reviewed are more complex then this. Just me. My point is: Give this game a shot, it's worth it!
@reallyidrathernot.134 April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
Hey the tumbnail has it's title blocked out by the time. So it just says it's bad. And then there's no title card to find out what the complete sentence was.
@KayKay2U April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
Hey I just made a board game video I would love for you to check it out. I love the video
@pincao April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
Great Job ! Thanks for the in depth analysis of this very deep game.
@cameronknotek-black2833 April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
Great review as always! If you mind sharing, what camera do you use?
@glennvanhoeck7846 April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
Regarding the stalemate you mentioned near the end; it's not necessary to have the technology to build complexes in order to advance the colony. You can build a lone building if it's exactly 2 tiles away from a matching tile. So in theory it's possible to level up the colony the whole way with no complex technology in play.

P.S.: Good review though!
@benruegg April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
We get it. You don’t like Lacerda. I actually reckon this game is one of his best. Sure there’s a learning curve, but it’s kinda like learning a guitar. You can’t just pick it up and know everything. It’s gonna take time.
@Heraclatian April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
I just ordered this. A great crunchy euro, this will satiate my cravings for worker placement and meeples, and I thought A Feast For Odin was complex.
@mohre5911 April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
The new camera is so damn good!!!! You're videos reached next level!! Thank you for your effort
@samuelwillmot2972 April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
Your game criticism has gone up to 11. I'm really enjoying your insights in a whole new way (not to mention your comedic timing and production!).
@superdux1997 April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
I LOVE the look of this game! But experience has taught me anything this complex (above about 3.5 on bgg) makes me cranky like a 3 year old in need of his nap, and none of my gaming group will want to play it. So ill keep my bank account looking a little healthier on this one I think. Great review.
@chris83watts April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
We've got that kitchen.
@kipel1563 April 9, 2024 - 3:33 am
Great video!!
