Wild Assent Review - It Was Worth The Wait

Description provided by BoardGameCo on YouTube:

BoardGameCo Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/boardgameco Wild Assent is a game I've been waiting for for two years. Which is a long time for a game, a lot of time for other games to surpass it, for tastes to change. So does it hold up? Does the game deliver the Kingdom Death Lite experience that others mentioned? With 4 seekers heading out into the wilds to capture and kill assorted creatures, can you survive 10 missions in the campaign, upgrading and healing during the encampment phase? Or not really? And whether you can or can't....is the game fun?

Period. It's in my collection. Obviously. 4 - Really solid game but for reasons X or Y, I'm just not willing to give it my top score. Almost always a game I'm adding to my collection. 3 - A solid game. May or may not enter/leave my collection depending on a number of factors such as other similar games, personal interest, people I play with etc. Sometimes can reflect a game's allure dropping over time. 2 - I'm either not the target audience, or too many issues with it. 1 - An arguably bad game.
