Watch “Arigato - Board Game Review - Mitigation Is Important!,” a board game review for Arigatō from The Broken Meeple on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by The Broken Meeple on YouTube:

Arigato - Board Game Review - Mitigation Is Important! Here's a link to the forum thread mentioned in the review: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3590387/advanced-planning-variant All the villages in the land are bustling with excitement as in just twelve days, it will be the Shogun's birthday! Gather your best artisans, craft magnificent offerings, and deliver them on time to earn his favor. Arigatō is a strategic and competitive card game in which you play as the leader of your village and try to combine the best artisan cards to claim victory. Each of twelve rounds consists of three phases, all of which are played simultaneously: Dawn: Secretly choose the role of each of your five artisans in hand: one resident, two travelers, and two crafters. Day: Reveal your artisan cards and collect the objects provided by the producer artisans. Trigger the effects of your resident artisans, if applicable. Manage your objects and try to gather those required by your residents to prepare offerings for the Shogun. Dusk: Check whether you've fulfilled the Shogun's whims for the day, and earn additional favors. After twelve rounds, the player who has accumulated the most favors — which are earned through offerings, effects, and objectives — wins. —description from the publisher *************************************** 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. You don't like my opinion, that's fine, but I'm not going to sugar coat my thoughts or suck up to the highest paying bidder. I'm here for the consumer and I wish to remain objective. 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 streams. I look forward to engaging with you, the community on my live streams or in the comments on my videos! *************************************** Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction 01:45 - Game Overview 04:20 - The Review 13:42 - Summary and Verdict #brokenmeeple #arigato #ludonaute #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.
