Watch “Should You Back Mythwind? A Definitive Guide to this One-of-a-Kind, Open-Ended, Asymmetric Game!,” a board game review for Mythwind on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by BoardGameDave on YouTube:
Hey there! Thank you so much for checking out this review of Mythwind, a game I became truly obsessed with from the moment I started playing as the Farmer early last month! From playing five seasons in a row the first night I started playing to introducing the game to Hannah to eventually playing two-handed as both the Farmer and the Crafter simultaneously, I've enjoyed learning how to most efficiently manage each character's abilities and strengths and exploring deeper and deeper into the story and lore of Mythwind! In this video I'll share some reasons why I think Mythwind may or may not be right for you and tell you what to look forward to in the reprint and Friends & Family expansion that's currently live on Kickstarter! I hope you'll find this video useful and if you want more information about the game, you can check out the link below and/or ask me any questions you might have in the comments down below! 💬

About Mythwind, from BoardGameGeek:
Mythwind is a cooperative & solo "cozy" board game with unique characters, magical sprites, engaging story and an unending adventure.
During the game, the characters are working together to establish and build a new town in the magical Mythwind Valley. They work to achieve various goals by constructing buildings within the town, adventuring throughout the region, navigating relationships with the mysterious sprites who inhabit the valley, and developing their character-specific professions.
As an open-ended game, Mythwind has no distinct conclusion. Although many players may find a natural end point to their game at the conclusion of the story, players can continue to play the game for as long as they would like over as many game sessions as they wish. As players progress through the game, their town will develop and grow, reacting to changing seasons and to the members of the community over time. Progress made can be easily saved using the provided game trays, which offer a quick and easy solution for both tear-down of the current game and setup of future games.
