Watch “Jackpot - Board Game Review - Like "Scout" But Actually Fun!,” a board game review for Jackpot: Set the Reel from The Broken Meeple on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by The Broken Meeple on YouTube:

Jackpot - Board Game Review - Like Scout But Actually Fun! Jackpot: Set the Reel puts you in control of your own luck! This 'slotbuilder' challenges you to master the art of hand manipulation as you aim to make lines of three of the same symbol. But the twist is, you never shuffle your cards! Instead, through clever planning, tactical upgrades, and precise card swaps, you’ll manipulate your hand to strike massive payouts. Gain victory points by matching symbols, with bigger combos scoring bigger payouts. Upgrade cards to unlock rewards, and claim bonus tiles to boost your score or gain special abilities. Every choice matters. The game is played simultaneously and with each round, you’ll place three adjacent cards from your hand into your slot machine, forming a row. You'll repeat this twice more, building a grid and claiming points for completed matches. Then, pass your last card to the player on your left while receiving a card from the right, and placing it strategically to optimise your next move. Next, collect coins from one column of your slot machine, then reorder your columns in your hand while keeping each column’s cards in the sequence you just played them in. With your hand reset, you're ready for another round. Will you manipulate the cards, stack the odds, and hit the jackpot? —description from the publisher *************************************** BUY THE SAME TOKEN DISCOUNT!

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 02:05 - How It Plays 06:57 - The Review 14:28 - Solo Mode 16:28 - Mini Expansions 23:24 - Summary and Verdict #brokenmeeple #asmodee #jackpot #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.
