Watch “Once Upon a Line Preview,” a board game review for Once Upon a Line from Board Gaming Ramblings on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Board Gaming Ramblings on YouTube:
It's time to take a look at one of the most unique games I have ever played!
One that changed my mind about the game during the second play.
A resource management, word-searching, crosswords-ish story driven campaign game?
And did I mention that it's kind of like a scratch off lottery ticket?
It's all that, and still a board game!
Check out the video to find out if it might be for you or not!
Thank you all so much for watching!

About Once Upon a Line, from BoardGameGeek:
Since the dawn of time, YOU, the Zephyrhymes, take control of talented beings in order to stop Tragedies that threaten the balance of the universe.
The Butterfly's Breath
On Earth, in a not too distant future, a pandemic has decimated most of the human population, leaving room for insects to become gigantic.
The survivors exploit the insects' prodigious abilities to construct a new world. But all that may soon crumble.
Once Upon a Line is a narrative game played out in chapters. Embody heroes and use their actions to play on a board of scratch off ink. Uncover hidden words and take their corresponding cards. This will reveal the next part of the story as well as new words to find in order to accomplish your mission.
Fully immerse yourself in a personalized adventure.
Elude traps (riddles, anagrams, palindromes, etc.).
Complete your Quest before scratching off the last square on the Line of Tragedy.
