Play Matt: Miremarsh Review

As soon as I tried, however, I found out exactly...

Miremarsh didn’t land with the swampy splash the designer must have hoped for. It bubbled under a lot of people’s radars and initial reports weren’t positive. So it sat, ignored, on my shelf for weeks before I took a dive into the rulebook. And what I found there was astonishing: a silly, charming push your luck game about driving goblins through a terrifying swamp in the hope of surviving long enough to commit some goblinesque atrocities. It felt like a must-play.

This sounds worth a try at least. I have to be careful or I just end up picking up most of the games Matt reviews. Only just got Undaunted North Africa.

Sorry. If you wonder why I generally post 3*+ reviews it's because I just don't write up games that don't appeal. Life's too short and there are too many games.

I'd do the research, or wait for a FAQ, before investing in this one. Maybe download the rulebook and see if you can find a playthrough to watch - there's a bunch on YouTube. It's fun but it's not for all tastes and it's really unfortunate how it's defeated by it's own rulebook

Totally fair review. Thank you for taking the time, Sam and I (there are two designers) have been talking it through this morning. We haven't published many games, we are very much still learning and we will learn from MireMarsh. I don't think the initial reports were bad pe se- I think they were almost completely absent (unless I've missed something). For us, then, working out what we did right and wrong with the game becomes really tough and makes a critical review like this incredibly useful.

A FAQ. Yes. I got onto that after the tweet exchange:

We are still discussing where exactly to put it given that Room17s website is down. It is likely to find a home on the BGG files page.
