Watch “Going TOO FAR?! Did I Just Find the Meaning of Life in a Board Game? Black Forest Board Game Review,” a board game review on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by The Game Bard on YouTube:
In Black Forest, you play as glass artisans in medieval Germany, and Uwe Rosenberg's famous resource wheels create something truly special. This heavy euro game offers 40 different buildings and countless strategic paths, but it's the deeper meaning behind the mechanics that grabbed me.
Designed by Tido Lorenz AND Uwe Rosenberg. I don't give Tido Lorenz enough credit in this video.
I have since played Patchwork and LOVE it!

About Black Forest, from BoardGameGeek:
In Black Forest, you start out with a small domain in need of new buildings and livestock. You'll travel from village to village, to enlist the aid of the best specialists. Exploiting the abilities of these specialists lets you collect resources, lay out new landscape tiles (e.g. ponds and fields), and build a variety of buildings, which come in four types. Choose the right buildings, place landscapes, fire up your glass production, and expand your domain.
Uwe Rosenberg's resource wheels, made famous in Glass Road (2013), return in Black Forest. Two resource wheels on your tableau help you keep track of your resources and production. Black Forest continues the story - as the name suggests - in the Black Forest. Among others, the main difference between the two games is the use of worker placement in Black Forest instead of simultaneous action selection.
A wide selection of buildings and their different effects offer many different paths to victory.
