Axes And Acres

I just realized that the builder’s hall reduces the build cost of buildings by 1. Man I’m slow.

I finally bit and it is great. I recognize and see Less Lucid still up there. Is that one of you?

That’s not me, but I am up there.

Oh crap. I completely missed that. :) Sweet.

Level 8 Bitches!!!

Their latest game, Solar Settlers, is out now and 15% off. I see a certain @tomchick on one of the leader boards, so hopefully there’s a review on the way.

or maybe, even a podcast ;)

That’s me…

Bumping to say I’ve finally tried this game after owning it for quite a while. Strategically tense, yet also kind of soothing (the setting, the music) in a way that feels great after a tough day at work. I’ll have to try some of their other games next.

I think Axes and Acres is easily the best game they’ve done. I also like Solar Settlers, but it’s still no Axes and Acres.

Agreed. I’ve only played Axes and Acres and Solar Settlers, but strongly prefer AaA.

Fwiw, I use your video to really learn the game beyond the tutorial. Very helpful.

I think Tom meant Minos Strategos

I’d never have understood that game (or any of the other braingoodgames, for that matter), if not for Tom’s videos.

Militia is a really cool little game, but just a little game.
Axes and Acres got something really special going, with those barbarians and the way you may interact with them. And it is really evocative.
Minos Strategos is probably the one I enjoyed the most, but maybe because it is the least demanding on the brain part.
Solar Settlers has a bunch of content, but doesn’t feel as “open” as Axes and Acres to me.
I never could get really into Skyboats (it is too complicated for me!) and I didn’t get the Reef game because Tom didn’t post a video explaining me how to play it.
