Arborea - Board Game Kickstarter Preview - Patron Spirit of Euro Games KICKSTARTER LINK: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alleycatgames/arborea?ref=bggforums This new "Quick Draw" format is what I planned for smaller reviews and KS previews. Trying to keep to a rough time scale of 10 minutes (give or take, it's a learning curve and previews require more time), these are for the games where they don't justify a full 20-25 minute explanation usually by way of size or scope. I hope these work for you as well for quick-fire style videos to digest, but I appreciate all feedback! Welcome to the world of Arborea. You are a Patron Spirit, guiding your villagers to heal and grow the landscape around them by sending them on pilgrimages and building your personal Ecosystem. Arborea is a worker placement euro game where time, and planning ahead, is key. During the game, players will place workers on Action Tracks ("Pilgrimage"). These tracks will then advance, moving all workers with them. The farther the Action Tracks move, the better the Rewards gained when workers are activated. These rewards may help Players to contribute to the Shared Resource Track, make offerings to the great and wise Sages to invest in future gifts, or attract animals to the land of Arborea. Explore different Seasons each game for new opportunities and paths to take. Take from the Shared Resources to build your personal Ecosystem, overlaying terrain cards to build habitats and placing animals for end game Victory Points. *************************************** SUBSCRIBE ► https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmjyHBcqxxQjrg0KUN944dQ?sub_confirmation=1 KIENDA SPONSOR REFERRAL LINK The Broken Meeple is happy to be sponsored by Kienda.co.uk where you can buy great games at great prices from a warehouse local to where I live!

One single batchelor from the UK talking about his passion for board games and the people who play them! I support small content creators, board game cafes and go against the status quo when it comes to the board game industry. I give my honest opinions without bias towards any publishers or designers and will not hold back if I don't like a game. The Broken Meeple is a variety channel that hosts all kinds of board game content from reviews to Top 10 lists to playthroughs to live stream collaborations with special guests (predominantly small channels who deserve more exposure). I look forward to engaging with you, the community on my live streams or in the comments on my videos! *************************************** Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction 01:26 - General Rules Overview 04:46 - Brainburny Timing 05:54 - Good Aesthetics But Size Is A Concern 07:15 - Busy Board and Fiddly Areas 08:05 - Rewarding Little Bonus Chaining 08:51 - The "Honshu" Spacial Puzzle 09:24 - Summary 11:00 - Please Share and Give Feedback #brokenmeeple #arborea #alleycatgames #kickstarter #boardgames #boardgame #lukehector #supportsmallcreators #tabletop #tabletopgames #bgg #boardgamer #boardgamereview *************************************** Useful Links Become a Patreon ► https://www.patreon.com/TheBrokenMeeple Facebook ► https://www.facebook.com/thebrokenmeeple Twitter ► http://twitter.com/TheBrokenMeeple Instagram ► https://www.instagram.com/thebrokenmeeple Podcast ► https://soundcloud.com/luke-hector-broken-meeple Full credit to BoardGameGeek and its members for any images used that aren't my own or part of the publisher press kit.
