March Madness (Avalon Hill) - Retro "First Look"

Hexed And Countered

Hexed And Countered

Watch “March Madness (Avalon Hill) - Retro "First Look",” a board game review for March Madness from Hexed And Countered on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Hexed And Countered on YouTube:

A "retro" first look at a game from 1990: March Madness from Avalon Hill. This is a two-in-one game with a basic game that lets you quickly play through an entire 64-team NCAA college basketball tournament using just the tourney seedings; and an advanced game that gives you 60 great NCAA teams of the past (mostly Final Four squads) covering all the greats from the mid-50s through the 1989 tournament. This video fits in the "first look" category here on Hexed & Countered even though the game itself has been sitting on my shelf for 30+ years. So we look at the components and talk about how the gameplay works. For more on this game (which is of course long out of print), check it out on Boardgame Geek: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/3063/march-madness Please consider liking, sharing and/or subscribing to help support the H&C channel. Much obliged and thanks for watching!

About March Madness, from BoardGameGeek:

Two players can re-play a college basketball game between two great Final Four teams of the past 40 years. If there are more players, they can re-play a favorite Final Four, or create a whole bracket of 64 teams and play their own great teams tournament. There is a card for each team with it's vital historical statistics from the particular year they made the Final Four. A number of dice are rolled to determine if there is a scoring resolution to be resolved between one of the opposing six positions on the team. If there is no resolution to be determined, the player rolling the dice can place a card from his hand on one of the un-resolved positions to influence it's scoring ability.
