Watch “Floe ~ we're captivated & can't get enough of this game! 🥹 | Board Game Preview,” a board game review for FLOE from ThinkerThemer on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by ThinkerThemer on YouTube:

This game is everything we never knew we wanted. It's an adventure game with a healthy dose of luck as you explore icy islands, meet villages and battle monsters. This is not something we'd usually describe as our taste but don't be deceived by the cute art and theming, this game has the tension of a tight euro game sitting just below the surface.. Note: Prototype game featured, art, components & rules subject to change. This is an unpaid preview and as with all of our content, consists of our honest thoughts and opinions. Kickstarter launching February 27th, 2024: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pikagames/floe For more game info: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/363204/floe Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 00:20 Theme overview 01:06 Gameplay overview 04:17 An adventure video game-like experience? Nailed it. ✅ 08:12 The wonderful artwork and world 09:49 But don't be fooled by the cuteness - this is highly competitive 13:09 Managing the warmth track 14:22 The engine building (dwellings) 15:08 Upgrading your character 15:57 Monsters and battles 17:58 Tight competition and close end scores 19:41 Thematic without narrative 20:54 Thoughts on player count 23:08 Requests for the final version 25:06 Wrap up Thanks for stopping by for this preview of Floe! We're Amy & Maggie aka ThinkerThemer. We're an Australian couple with two very different perspectives of what makes a great board game - Amy (Thinker) is all about the mechanics and enjoys tight, competitive games, and Maggie (Themer) is all about the storytelling and the theme of the game, and the 'world' that the designer is trying to create. Subscribe to our channel to hear us talk about these two elements of a game, and how well integrated we feel these are in delivering a cohesive and wonderful game experience. #boardgames #tabletopgames #thinkerthemer ❤🏳️‍🌈🇦🇺

About FLOE, from BoardGameGeek:

FLOE is an adventure-strategy game where players embark on heroic quests across an icy landscape. You'll discover long-lost secrets on uncharted icebergs, sail the seas to find adventure and sunken treasure and delve into perilous caves to find precious crystals and battle fearsome monsters. Despite the dangers ahead, you won't be alone in your travels. Always at your side, your loyal familiar may help gather resources or jump into the fray to turn the tide of battle. During their travels, heroes will also gain helpful allies, powerful abilities, and rare items. In time, heroes may also build shrines across the map, ensuring their legacy will be long remembered. However, always beware of the cold. Venturing into the icy wasteland is perilous: almost everything heroes do outside the safety of the village will cost them warmth. From time to time, they will need to return to the village to warm up, improve their homestead, purchase upgrades, and prepare for their next big adventure. Will you be the boldest explorer of them all? Floe features a unique region-to-region movement system that allows heroes and sailboats to navigate the realm with ease; only the natural shapes of the ice and seas are used to determine movement, so you never need to count squares on a grid. Additionally, after each game, players unlock Floe Stone stickers they use to track Village progress. By reaching certain milestones, they can open envelopes and unlock new gameplay experiences that expand the realm and reveal long-lost lore about the Crystal Kingdom. -description from publisher
