Watch “Revive 12x12 Review - All Payer Counts, Expansions, Modules & Everything,” a board game review for Revive from BoardGameCo on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by BoardGameCo on YouTube:

Playing through the 5-part campaign unlocks additional contents, and once all contents have been unlocked, the game can be replayed indefinitely. At the beginning of the game, each player gets a set of citizen cards, a tribe board, as well as a huge dual-layer player board. The tribe board shows your unique tribe ability and the ancient technologies that you may relearn during the game. The dual-layer player board is where you place your custom machines and upgrade your card slots. A main goal of the game is to reach and populate the large ancient sites. These ancient locations are randomized, and as they are important sources of victory points, they will shape your strategy differently each game. The game ends when all artifacts have been taken, and the player with the most points wins. On your turn you take two actions: Play a card (its effect is determined by which card slot you use) Explore (reveal an area tile and recruit a new citizen card) Populate (populate an ancient location to learn a new technology) Build factory (the adjacent terrains determine which machine tracks you advance) BGG Link - https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/332772/revive TimeStamps: 0:00:00 - Introduction 0:01:30 - General Overview Of My Original Thoughts 0:02:03 - Player Count 0:02:55 - Solo 0:04:05 - The Campaign 0:05:52 - Variants/Unlocked Campain Content 0:08:35 - The Expansion 0:10:25 - My Overall Opinion & Final Thoughts 5.0 - My absolutely favorite games, I will rarely if ever turn down an opportunity to play these games. 4.5 - Oh my gosh, the absolute best games...but also I'm not always down to play them. For one reason or another these are just shy of perfect. Whether it's mechanics, length, brain burn whatever. 4.0 - This is where a game becomes recommended. Now I may or may not be in the mood, or even own it, especially considering other games. But a 4 is where we cross from good to great.3.5 - Really enjoyed, don't love it, will often lose out to better games, but there's a part of me that wants to own it/play it more. 3.0 - A good game, I enjoy playing it. But also if I never play it again I'm not losing any sleep over that. 2.5 - Wasn't the biggest fan. Wasn't the worst, but didn't feel like the best use of time. Would prefer not to play again but am willing to given the right circumstances. 2.0 - A game I don't want to play again. I'm not saying it isn't good, I'm saying I don't want to play it again regardless of circumstance. 1.5 - I did not like this game, do not want to play it, and think it's a fairly flawed game. 1.0 - I can't imagine rating a game this poorly ever. It would take something so abysmal I probably didn't get to even play it.

About Revive, from BoardGameGeek:

Revive civilization, 5000 years after everything was destroyed. Lead your tribe and explore the frozen earth. Harness its resources. Recruit surface survivors to your cause. Build factories with powerful machines. And populate ancient sites to relearn your tribe's forgotten technologies. -- Revive is a game for 1-4 players with asymmetric player powers, highly variable setup, and no fighting or direct conflict. Playing through the 5-part campaign unlocks additional contents, and once all contents have been unlocked, the game can be replayed indefinitely. At the beginning of the game, each player gets a set of citizen cards, a tribe board, as well as a huge dual-layer player board. The tribe board shows your unique tribe ability and the ancient technologies that you may relearn during the game.
