At 7:40, you state that whoever bid the most money picks investment tiles first. However, the rule is that the player highest on the stairs (row closest to the delivery tiles, then rightmost in that row) picks first. With 4 players, it's possible that someone will get first pick while paying less than another player.
Its weird that you don't get anything for actually delivering the pizzas. I honestly think that is a big part of it. No money, no immediate victory points, no real sense of satisfaction. Completing a tile DOES let you go up on your player board, so you'll be a little better at delivering pizzas but it always feels like you're delivering pizzas just to deliver more pizzas with no real end game. A game like this I would expect it to be about buying low and selling high – some sort of market where you invest money into your pizza parlor in order to make money and I think that aspect was just noticeably missing. That might be something they could consider if they decide to make an expansion, and would add a bit of engine building and risk / reward, because right now the game doesn't really have any risk or push your luck element.
Hi Man Vs Meople, I designed Papa Paolo (Paowlo) and just looked at your review twice. Allthough your comments aren't as positive as I hoped for, I was stunned by the quality of that video. Never seen something like that before.
Never met anyone named Paolo or heard of San Paolo? 😉
Pretty sure it's "pow" like a punch, and "low" like cold temperature. And I just realized the same spelling ("ow") has two different pronunciations in English. Ha!
It might be weird to say it, but I found it refreshing that you reviewed a game that you didn't 'love' or even enjoyed! Such reviews help immensely in getting a feel for how similar my tastes are to yours!
you have one of the top 3 channels for the tabletop hobby in my opinion.
Really enjoying your channel. You guys are doing a great job.
Not a native speaker, but it might be "pow'-loh". Hope you guys have a nice New Year's!
Thanks guys, good overview. Not really sure about the theme here and the board is a bit dazzling at first glance, like a bit bewildering.
when can I expect to be able to purchase this game in the US?
