“AquaSphere is a really fun, deep game that also features a great set of components, and great looking art! This will continue to be a featured event at our game nights. What a great game!”
“Number one I would highly recommend this game I absolutely love it I think it's fantastic the design is just beautiful it is very thematic like you said um compared more so than some of the other failed titles”(6:03)
“So, I absolutely love it. Couldn't recommend this one enough. I think it's getting harder and harder to get hold of. So, you know, if you can get a copy, I'd really recommend snatching it up.”(14:08)
“This game is fantastic I love it I played his offers like Ken which is still not enough I would love to play more but this is its top shelf for me I love it”(7:03)
“You actually, you often got a plan few sort of actions in advance, and I really like it, engages me throughout. I'd be a big fan of this one.”(9:14)
“I really enjoy this game, it's a lot of fun to play. It's very simple, I mean it looks really, really complicated, but it's really not once you play like a round or so.”
“The game is a good one, much better than I expected, and it’s much easier to teach than I thought. I’m not usually crazy about Stefan Feld’s games, but Aquasphere is one I have enjoyed a lot, and I think Stefan Feld’s usual fans will enjoy it even more.”
“Definitely enjoyed the game. Definitely want to own this. This is definitely going to go into our rotation of Feld games. We enjoy playing quite a bit. Um it just it just uh pushed us a little bit harder than the average Feld, I guess I would say.”(7:44)
“I have nothing but praise for this game. Brilliantly imagined, brilliantly realized, Aquasphere constantly throws obstacles in your path, a test at every turn. But the biggest test of all will be playing it without a smile on your face.”
“All in all, I enjoy this one the more I play it. At first it felt like you could only focus on fighting the action blender but I’ve come to appreciate how you wrangle the game and combat other players at the same time.”
“Overall this is uh a meaty Euro game not necessarily for the Casual Euro gamer but for anybody who has a serious interest interest in Euro games or in any case in general with in games that may not be very thematic but definitely have engaging mechanics with a lot of challenges and choices then definitely is a good option”(24:34)
“Aquasphere has a nice theme, pretty bits and cool gameplay. I like this one a lot.”
