Is ZOO TYCOON Board Game EXPANSION Worth It?
Ark Nova is one of the most popular zoo themed euro games out there. Other games like Zooleretto, Bareknpark, Miller Zoo, Habitat, New York Zoo and Aqua Garden are some of the games that have yet to come anywhere near to emulating the complexities of managing a zoo. Zoo Tycoon was a beloved PC game that has now become Planet Zoo. The primary focus is building a park that promotes and conserves animals and building up their happiness through breeding and monetary ventures. Its a simulation game at heart and one of the best.
In This video we look at the Zoo Tycoon Expansion: New Shores.
We examine what has changed, what has evolved and whether it adds new changes to the original game to make it more accessible and dynamic.

Board Games I DIDN'T Expect To IMPRESS

With so many popular, top and hot board games and tabletop games passing by these days its hard to stop and look and notice board games that simply do one thing well and that is bring enjoyment to its players!

SPINOFF Board Games, Do we need them?
Переглядів 1,7 тис.Місяць тому
With so many spinoff board games based on popular games like star wars, dune, scythe and wingspan. Board games like dune uprising and wyrmspan are simply games that capture an audience who is already invested in a particular game. Enticing them to expand their palate and reaching out for fans of the same IP such as Lord of the Rings is something that might warrant a spinoff board game. But what...

    OMG i’m falling in love with this game. I know that I should try the base game first but all those animals in the expansions are also amazing and really hard to pass. How is it learning this game? Does it have a bit of a learning curve? I’ve never played the pc game before. I do like Ark Nova but this seems like building up your zoo ground up seems pretty interesting. I am seriously contemplating going for both the base and deluxe. Not sure if it is wise to do so. I have been playing board games for a little while now and can play medium to heavy games. (Though not Lacerda level yet) Hoping that I can totally learn the game correctly and enjoy it.

    Thanks for your informative video about the upcoming expansion to Zoo Tycoon. Like many others (it seems), I had all but given up on trying to understand the base game rules and frustratingly put it aside and even tried to sell it on. Thankfully I still have it, as I’d like to give it another chance when the revised rule book comes….and the expansion looks beautiful! I absolutely love the theme and artwork of the game. Thanks for giving me hope I’ll one day get my head around Zoo Tycoon!

    While there are a few rare occasions that it isn't the case, spinoff versions of games are almost always a cash grab or profit-seeking practice imo. Especially if it's just a reskin (I'm looking at you, Monopoly, you'll never enter my house no matter which of my favourite franchises you monotise next). HOWEVER, for people like me who can be entirely put off playing an otherwise fab game simply because I don't like how it looks (I know, sue me), there are times where a reskin can actually be what makes me go from meh about a game to getting the hype. For me, at least, I was super excited to get my hands on Wyrmspan and have loved playing it so far. One of the people I play games with regularly already owns Wingspan (and all the expansions lol) so it never felt justifiable for me to own it as well, on top of the fact that I just felt very mid about it. I knew I enjoyed the mechanics and gameplay, but I just... birds? It's cute, and the art is beautiful, but I'm sorry, dragons are just way cooler xD Buuuuut... I'm also the type of person who will own 5 different editions of the same book just because I love it, so I'll happily take a reskin of a favourite game any day. (Flamecraft but make it cat familiars? Please?)

    Carcassonne is one of our most frequently played games that even after a respite it eventually returns to the table. We have introduced the game to many friends over the years and it carried us through the pandemic on Board Game Arena. I have Carcassonne Big Box and several additional expansions, so I thought I might be done making purchases. Looks like I need to make an exception with Mists Over Carcassonne. I think it will be a hit. I like that it has a solo play too! Thanks for your fun and creative review.

      Don't worry about keeping up with videos. Life is hectic and you should get to take breaks without feeling guilty. For games in my backlog, really what I have recieved from crowdfunding campaigns: Castle's of Burgundy Royal Édition, A feast for Odin, Find the Source, Elements of the God's, Hunted Wode Ridge, Minotaur, Mechanical Beast, Paper Dungeons and Canvas. Not including solo only games like Gloomhaven Buttons & bugs or The Forgotten Road. I've only played the Merlin Big Box, and Heroes of Might and Magic III once each. I have only played Zoo Tycoon, Oros, Nightmare Cathedral and Spirit Island twice so far. I tried to sit down to Arkham Horror the LCG and struggled to self teach myself the setup twice. I just get too busy juggling a handful of MMO's with friends and guilds, and don't sit down to boardgames as much as I would like. And Lego building competes with boardgame time now also.

    Great video. Loved it, so I subscribed. I think for games which use buildings the square shape tend to be better, but games with use landscapes is generally better with the hexagon in my opinion. I have played a lot of dungeons and dragons and here this is illustrated particularly well where, dungeon or city maps tend to be better squared, but open terrain or big overview maps tend to be better with the hexagon, especially if the maps or boards are bigger. Of cause I love chess, Dungeon Quest and Hero Quest which use squares as a board very well, but when it comes to strategy fighting games or exploration games I love the freedom, option and look of Hexagon games like Settlers of Cataan, Kingdom Builder and the Castles of Burgundy.
