Deep Regrets & Eternal Decks (Board Game Fun Phase Ep. 1)

Description provided by Tabletop Toby on YouTube:

Episode 1 of "Board Game Fun Phase" - board game things that I am excited -- whether an upcoming game, a game I just received or played, a piece of news, or whatever is bringing me boardgame joy right now. In Episode 1 -- (1) Deep Regrets -- A…wait for it…sort of cthulhu creepy themed fishing game where you balance fishing fairly normal “fair” things and horrible “foul” things from the Briny Deep that cause you to regret your life and descend deeper into madness. This board game designed and illustrated by Judson Cowan and published by Tettix Games is dripping with theme — from the tackle dice you roll to fish with to the anchor first player marker to the random things you find in the sea…is that a severed foot floating by??? Oh! Yes it is. (2) Eternal Decks -- A cooperative card puzzle game for up to four players but also with a puzzle mode, where you place cards from your hand following placement restrictions in rows. Once you reach the end of the row, you can release one of the Eternals there, which gives you more cards and a special power…but straps you with another restriction. You have to reach certain goals as a team before you run out of cards, so you better make sure to get the right player in position to release an Eternal before they run out. But did I mention you only have limited communication? A super fun puzzle to work through from designer Hiroken with great art from Mujunsha, and published by Tricktakers Games and Portland Game Collective. Bonus: A solo mode that throws in some leveling up mechanics and some fun powers. #deepregrets #tettixgames #eternaldecks #portlandgamecollective #boardgames #boardgaming #tabletopgames #tabletopgaming #boardgame #boardgames #boardgamegeek #tabletop #boardgaming #boardgameaddict Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tabletop_toby/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TabletopToby/ For media inquiries, please email tobytabletop@gmail.com 00:00 I.
