My Favourite Game: Ra

Great review, I totally want to grab a copy now but I can’t get over one thing in your review. It looked like you had motion smoothing enabled on your tv, yuck. Lolz, seriously love your reviews, I have just started Oathsworn with a group after watching your vid on it.

Great review concept, nice length, fully happy....thanks

This is a stellar series... But I dont get why Ra over Modern Art

Impossible to get in The Netherlands right now 😢. Does anyone know if it's gonna be reprinted?

I seem to be the only person that find auction (games) boring.

I finally understand how this game works even though I have listened to multiple others explain it - thank you! Sounds like it could be amazing.

"I love Bargain Hunt" 🤣

I love you guys ❤

One of the worst games ever, broken.

I didn't expect this to be my kind of boardgame but video got an instant like for Hudson Hawk, then I was pleasantly surprised that I also was sold on the game

Yay! I bid on more Puns!

I love the channel <3 i'm sure y'all must have considered it but since you're giving these amazing, in depth reviews that make me want to go out and buy ___ right now would you ever do referral links? There must be some conscientious board game seller out there that would work with y'all!

I'm gonna guess the next one is Gee-Dubya-Tee (even though, imo, it's not really a deck-builder, more of a deck management on a big old rondel)

Yeah, the tension of when to call Ra vs when to draw an additional tile is super exciting and makes this such a special game. I like watching it almost as much as I enjoy playing it! - Chris

It won't be but I hope your favourite deck builder is Heart of Crown

This is a great series. I'm always excited to get away from all the new releases and hear about the amazing games that already exist.

Modern Art and Ra share the #1 spot for my favorite auction game. They're both so good and yet have enough differences to make them distinct, I'll gladly play either of them and have a great time!

Love the video. Perfect ratio of game info and humor.

Ra is also one of my favorite auction games; it’s probably between that and Nidavellir.

It’s been a revelation to discover this classic via this new version. Ian O’Toole’s graphic design is so intuitive, that when we were teaching a new player the other week, that new player caught that we were scoring the Monuments wrong simply by the graphics displayed on the player boards. (We had been scoring monuments each round and not the final round only.)

What if one player get both 16 and 15? Isnt there an infinite loop of winning bids?

Not as good as Modern Art though is it? ;)

I'm very happy with my Uberplay copy, but I do want to put together a compatible version of those clever player boards

The tension of the clock running down and the end of the era is coming close. People start bidding on nonsense just so they don't go the whole round and get nothing. And then, other rounds when there is plenty of time on the clock and there is only one person left, who can let the track fill up as much as they want. And don't forget the push your luck, when you are the last player, but the next RA tile ends the round immediately...do you push for one more free tile, risking losing it all?

The Deluxe version is a bit $, which is the "correct" newest non deluxe version of the game? Priests 2009?

All these favourite games! What a great series 😊

25th Century Games just texted me: "the regular reprint should be on store shelves in a couple of months. Deluxe reprint is going back on KS next month."

getting back the sun disk of the last won auction, and putting your own sun disk up for grabs is such a clever mechanic

Ra is truly a gorgeous production that a classic deserves. The fixed numbers for bidding is so key to making this an open and accessible game.

‘Its a little dry’ 😂

Bro, what are you doing? How come you dont offer YT membership? Im guessing Google takes a bigger cut than Patreon?

Ra is fantastic. Love it.

I knew it's gonna be RA

Of all of the games I’ve been completely underwhelmed by, this is the one that stands out as one I need to give another try. Especially as this edition adds the player board which is really needed. Until then, my favourite auction game is a toss-up between Modern Art and High Society.

I’ve no idea what your favourite deck builder is, but I know it’s not the best deck builder of all time time because you got put off by the version which is probably the weakest one, and certainly not one for people new to the game - and that is of course Aeon’s End!

I too bought (Kickstarted) the massively overproduced Pharaoh's Edition for twice the price and I have zero regrets. I just love the tactile feel of the wooden tile and the metal coins. And the giant bag on its own has such great table presence. It's certainly my favorite auction game and I'll never turn down an opportunity to play it.

It's a good game filler but far from being best or most popular in my collection. Nice review as usually!

Fun review. Loved the humor! Subbed. 😁

Thanks for your consistently excellent and thoughtful videos!

Are we going to find out your favourite deck builder?

Fantastic review, im a fan.

Do you keep bidding? I thought there was one chance to bid or pass. No redo. No upping your bid

What do you Mean pretend?

Great Job Efka, now I want to own this Game in the fancy smancy Edition but am unable to get it because of license issues in germany in the latest campaign 😢

what if you are dealt a 15 and a 16? what's to keep you from winning every auction in an infinite loop?

3 months and still waiting for your favorite deck building game.. 😢

I think it would be very Efka to come out and say his favorite deckbuilder is just Dominion.

Loved this explanation 😄 and love you’re energy dude haha 👌🏼
