Who needs SETI? I've got Cosmic Encounter and have discovered hundreds of aliens.
Not the most appealing box art on this one.
You don't need to scan the whole universe, just terraform Mars.
The review gives me a big Terraforming Mars vibe — a game that I loved, though I recall that SU&SD didn't.
Yeah, not for me. I'm going to play Disco Elysium now, thank you
Sorry Tom, but, you saying that you don't like SETI because it's not like Arcs, feels to me like a burger-lover saying they didn't like sushi because it doesn't have enough bacon and cheese.
Your review and opinion is still totally valid, but I just think you're just not the target for this type of game.
For what it's worth, your review convinced me to get it 😀
Shut up and seti down
And also, great review!
Oh dear, that dial-up connection noise at 0:40 or so brought back memories
I hope this video title is a reference to Review with Forrest Macneil
Too late, I already have a copy of Search for UAPS. Can’t wait to hear about it on the podcast.
Also while playing it with a group at my library, we found out that the app does not connect you to one game while playing on multiple devices. Instead it creates a separate instance of that game on each device. We were a bit confused by this at first since the game didn’t clarify about that.
intrepid is a cool space game.
Fun fact space is actually flat.
No Uranus joke?? oh maan…….
"I probe Venus, and play the James Bond: Golden Eye card in defence postition!"
Are you really comparing SETi to a push your luck dice game? ouch
Nice recommendation of Sol: Last Days of a Star. Despite being an almost abstract game, it's incredibly thematic and thought-provoking. And the best part is, it mostly achieves that through in-game mechanics rather than the flavor text. I'd love to watch an entire episode on it, although perhaps it's not new enough for a video.
Space may not be flat, but the solar system is (almost). That's because formed from a rotating cloud of gas and dust simliar to the rings of saturn.
At first i was super confused thinking this was a re-upload, then even more confused because i thought another member of the crew did a Seti review and Tom decided to do a second one just for good measure. Only then did i realize i actually watched the "first" video on the no puns intended channel XD
i like your coffee mug
Rotate the board?! That's NUMBERWANG!
Looks like the flippable alien boards might need some sleeves after a few games, if anyone cares.
god that data looks delicious
Flat space is already a thing!
We (meaning scientists) already proved that it has to be. It just means something very different than one would think without knowing a lot about complicated physics.
I think SETI might be good for many people for whom board game nights are few and far between, and the people playing can change a lot between sessions. There is not the same chance to feel games feel similar, if you only play now and then.
1:13 our solar system (and our galaxy, to a slightly lesser extent) is actually quite flat, due to the conservation of angular momentum which affected the dust as the system was forming.
I really like that wheel thingy
1:24 most of our solar system do in fact move in one flat plane
look! it's Tom! <3
