Two Hard-to-Find Japanese Games FINALLY Get a Reprint 🎉| My Favorite Things & String Railway Preview

Watch “Two Hard-to-Find Japanese Games FINALLY Get a Reprint 🎉| My Favorite Things & String Railway Preview,” a board game review on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by ThinkerThemer on YouTube:

If you've ever had the pleasure of visiting Japan and rummaging through shelves and shelves of second-hand games, you'll know that it's not always easy to find what you're looking for. AND if you've been to Japan in the last decade, someone probably told you to be on the lookout for "String Railway." Or perhaps you've been at a convention where someone has whipped out "Eye My Favorite Things" only to tell you once you're enamored that in fact you can't get it...anywhere. OK so both of these examples were pretty personal (Amy here) so I was very excited to hear that both of these titles are getting a reprint. We hope this video gives you a good sense of whether or not these quirky, party-style titles are for you. Thanks for watching! Campaign launching 26th October 2023. Campaign link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/playforkeeps/the-string-railway-collection-and-my-favourite-things For more game information: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/188530/my-favourite-things https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/391720/string-railway-collection Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 01:06 My Favorite Things (Formerly Eye My Favorite Things) 07:28 String Railway 12:12 String Railway Cubed (Formerly String Railway: Transport) 17:56 Wrap Up Thanks for stopping by! We're Amy & Maggie aka ThinkerThemer. We're an Australian couple with two very different perspectives of what makes a great board game - Amy (Thinker) is all about the mechanics and enjoys tight, competitive games, and Maggie (Themer) is all about the storytelling and the theme of the game, and the 'world' that the designer is trying to create. Subscribe to our channel to hear us talk about these two elements of a game, and how well integrated we feel these are in delivering a cohesive and wonderful game experience. #boardgames #tabletopgames #thinkerthemer ❤🏳️‍🌈🇦🇺

About My Favourite Things, from BoardGameGeek:

My Favourite Things, first released as (Eye My Favorite Things), is a trick-taking party game in which you don't know the value of your cards, and instead, you get to know your fellow players. In the game, you present your neighbors with a category and ask them to write their five favorite things (and one least favorite thing) in that category on their cards. You then use these cards to play a trick-taking game with all other players, with none of you knowing the true value of any card played until the end of each trick. Your neighbor's preference rank is the card's strength. Card 1 is highest and 0 is lowest, but if 1 and 0 appear in the same trick, 0 wins. Because you are playing with someone else's favorite things, each trick provokes unique insights into your fellow players and sparks interesting conversations. Does Paul like Power Rangers more than Anthony likes Banana Milkshake or Archie likes Italian Disco? These are the deductions and judgement calls you'll need to make in My Favourite Things.
