Watch “A Distant Plain and Stronghold Undead - Two Blueprints for Conflict on Cardboard,” a board game review for Stronghold: Undead on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Let's Talk Game Night on YouTube:
How do you make a game fair when players have completely different toolkits? In under two minutes, we compare two brilliant but polar-opposite solutions to the problem of asymmetry. See why Stronghold Undead is a focused, clockwork puzzle of pure efficiency, while A Distant Plain is a chaotic, four-way simulation of real-world competing agendas.
