MALADUM: DUNGEONS OF ENVERON Review -- An Amazing, but Very Niche, Dungeon Crawler

Description provided by Private Pook Games on YouTube:

MALADUM is finally on my table, and I am beyond impressed! This is one of the best dungeon crawlers I've played in years, though it should be noted it is VERY NICHE and will not appeal to everyone. In this video, I try my best to describe why MALADUM works so well for me, and why it may or may not work well for you. 0:00 Intro 0:44 I start with a story... 1:48 The terrain -- Why I love it, and why you might not 2:41 A misconception about good/bad setup times 3:15 An amazing, niche dungeon crawler for niche board gamers 5:06 Thematic and immersive via aesthetics and mechanics 6:50 How 3D tactical combat works 7:40 A lot of rules, but you can start with the basics and add new rules when you're ready 10:04 NPCs make for varied and dynamic quests 11:06 Flexible decision-making: a story about a monster breaking down a door 13:08 Limited number of monsters in the core game 15:00 Ignoring complicated rules until you're ready for them 15:23 Losses are (usually) your fault 16:03 Closing, and a final thought on why this 3D terrain adds to the gameplay https://mikegrossoauthor.com https://privatepook.com
