The Verdict
based on 59 reviews
“Libertalia: Winds of Galecrest is a fantastic game which I heartily recommend. If you haven't picked up on the underlying tone of this review, let me spell it out for you. I really do love this game.”
“So for me i happily sit at at roughly a nine just just below dune imperium two very different games”(17:39)
“If you don't mind that, you like it and you're going to lean into it, you're going to love this game. For all those reasons, this game's amazing. It is absolutely sticking around in my gaming library.”(21:07)
“Libertalia has been one of our favorite games for years and we are beyond impressed by the improvements made to it with Winds of Galecrest!”
“I hate everything about this game apart from the game itself and that, well, I consider it to be brilliant.”
“As a person who submerges himself into high player interactive games, there is very little wrong with the design here. Each crew card is powerful and valuable, yet not dominant. Everything feels balanced, which is a statement I thought I would never say about a Stonemaier game.”
“Even without an original game to compare it to, Libertalia: Winds of Galecrest is an exceptional production. It plays quickly and is a lot of fun at all player counts.”
“There is something special going on here, which should come as no surprise to those who have loved Libertalia since its original printing. This is easily towards the top of my list of games I tried this year.”
“Libertalia's imperfections are small enough that I have no problem admitting that I'm being nitpicky when I point them out. The game truly is great and one of few light games that has ever managed to win me over.”(12:39)
“We really like this new, revised version of Libertalia. And since it's scoring so high on our "let's play again" game meter, it's going to be a keeper in our game collection!”
“So definitely a fun, a fun game with a great production, and one, and a game that really is a lot of fun to play. Again, I will, I recommend it, I'm gonna recommend it, especially as a social game.”(12:55)
“The only thing I like about Libertalia: Winds of Galecrest is the gameplay. And the truth is, that's all that matters.”(11:32)
