Nucleum (2023)

“So do I recommend nucleum as a solo game 100% one of the best solo Euros I've played this year really deep thinky game in terms of the amount of options you've got available but despite it relative complexity and how it looks and the amount of table space it takes up it's not actually a complex game to play”(53:49)

“This is like my favorite heavy heavier Euro I've ever played, um, and that's huge coming from me, so that's how much I like this game.”(11:26)

“Nucleum is a downright brilliant game on one of our highlights of this year thus far if you love Euros then you're going to love this and there's so much that it does right and so much that it does cleverly there are a few minor gripes but we cannot recommend nucleum enough”(11:26)

“Is Nucleum a good game? Yes, it's excellent. Is it better than these counterparts? No. Brass stands out as a phenomenal game, potentially ranking among the best games ever made. However, Nucleum is noteworthy and deserving of your consideration.”

“If everything we've been saying has sounded like something cool that you're into, this is a game for you — we loved it. If everything we've been saying has been like, "oh my gosh, that's too much," maybe not this one.”(13:53)

“Nucleum is so much more than 'a bit like Brass'. A true modern heavyweight Euro masterpiece.”

“But for those who love heavy, strategic puzzles, then Nucleum offers so much to love. Yes, it takes up way too much room on the table.”

“With all of that being said we do think this is one of the better games of 2023 I think you think right now might be leading the way for you but I'm I'm not too sure it's really up there though we really like it”(17:04)

“It's a great game. So, 83, pretty high scores for this type of game, uh, of like it feels like Brass Birmingham a little bit with the tracks. It feels it has some callings of some games I can think of, but it's its own beast. So yeah, great, we really enjoy it.”(30:44)

“I had a lot of fun and that's actually what board games really are about is having fun and I had a lot of fun with this game I am probably I'm going to give this say eight and a half and only because as long as you can keep my attention it'll probably go to nine but it was really good”(17:59)

“I love it! It does have a learning curve of at least half a game, but despite being a bit overwhelmed at first, I really enjoyed working through all the possibilities and figuring out how to best power my buildings.”

“I think it has a solid mix and blend of mechanisms and some new tweaks that I really enjoy seeing and exploring, and obviously I haven't mastered it yet, so I have some ways to go there as well. I'm going to give this a 7.5, a really solid game.”(1:27:54)
