Loch Ness Board Game Video Review

Hello, I am Hi, my name is Natasha, and I am Felicia and this is our review of Loch Ness as in the Loch Ness Monster I'm assuming look. She's got the monster from that river that Like the famous tale, we're not sure if it's a myth or fact like in Sherbrooke Breath yes, the Salem. Yeah, my god. Do you remember that? No? No, it's the Mississippi River What whatever but like there was something yeah, there's a dragon thing in there like this in okay We live in Montreal Quebec. So what happens is there's like a little city about two hours away called Sherbrooke And there's the same type of monster apparently they saw it in the Mississippi River. Yeah That's my word in French This is actually in I believe it's Scotland I think Scotland Scotland is that I pronounce the right Scotland like that, you know, I Think you're the Loch Ness Monster. Really? Yeah, you know, well, I don't think so In Loch Ness players take on the role of photographers trying to take a picture of Nessie In the box you'll find a playing board with the lake in the center camera spots around the lake and special actions. I'll describe later you'll get a deck of cards which represent pictures of a third of Nessie's body a Deck of cards for each of the players numbered 1 to 5 a deck of mutual cards which are numbered 0 to 7 camera tokens for each of the players and a special white camera a black pawn which is used as the first player marker and Finally player pawns and Nessie pawns a big one and a small one The game ends when the small Nessie passes the 65 victory points on the track around the board. Here's how to set up Each player chooses a color and receives both photographer pawns cards and cameras of that color The number 5 camera is only used in the variant. So take that one out Place one pawn from each player at 0 including the small Nessie pawn Shuffle all the pictures of Nessie and flip over three like so Place the white camera on the pub action and finally place the large Nessie on any lake spot on the board Choose a first player and you're now ready to start The first round is a little different from all the other rounds in the first round the first player and the next two players will Choose a card from their hand and place it face down Now in turn order each player will place their camera anywhere on the front spots of the camera spots face up Until all cameras have been placed Now the players reveal the three cards and total the number The small Nessie will move that many on the score track and the big Nessie will also move many spaces in the lake Now you calculate points and pictures If Nessie is in front of your sections your cameras on you'll move up the many points as a bonus If Nessie is directly in front of your camera, you also take a picture in a three group area You'll be able to take one photo from three showings on the top of the deck If you're in a section with only two groups you get to take two photos at the end of the game You'll make extra victory points for completed Nessie pictures and some for almost completed Nessie pictures Now that the first round is completed all their players take back their moves cards into their hands and the next player becomes the first player For the rest of the game the round will not be a little different The actions can now be used each round the round starts the same the first player and the next two players play a card Face down now each player in turn order places their reporter on one of the actions on the board. We'll explain those later Once all players have played their reporter on an action They must move their cameras placing them face down on any of the front camera spots available Once all cameras are placed face down somewhere They are flipped up again and the three cards played are also flipped up and totaled Both Nessie pawns advance that total once again and the scoring is the same as before Players keep going like this until a small Nessie passes the 65 mark There the players will earn bonus points for pictures and the players with the highest becomes the legendary reporter who finally caught Nessie in action Now to explain each ability Bagpipes After the players have moved the large Nessie figure and before the scoring the player may move the large Nessie figure one c-space further However, the player may only move the Nessie figure if he moves it to a c-space which is pointed directly by one of his cameras Pub As soon as the player places his reporter on his action field. He takes the value 5 neutral white Camera and places it on an empty front camera space For this round this camera is his camera At the end of the round the player puts the neutral camera back on the action field Photoshop during scoring the value 3 camera of this player counts as a camera with the value 9 Castle after all players have moved their cameras the player may move another of his cameras in addition He may place this camera on one of the rear camera spaces Distillery as soon as the player places his reporter on this action field He takes the neutral move card deck for this round the player sets aside his move cards and uses the card from the neutral Card deck at the end of the round he returns the entire neutral card deck Then he takes back his set aside move cards into his hand Church after the players have placed their move cards face down the player may look at one of the three face down cards He returns it face down and may not share the information on the card with any other player Hotel as soon as the player places his reporter on this action field He immediately takes all of his move cards back into his hand The game feels like you're playing roulette watching something to go round and round hoping it lands on your number There is some pretty good player interaction as you can block other camera man from taking your spot The actions are great way to add some strategy However, some actions are more powerful than others. The production quality is really good and the artwork is perfect for the style of game It's not a complicated game and very easy to teach after playing your first game You'll want to play another one since you've learned the mechanics of it The game also has two variants which add to replay values for the game Whenever the small messy passes an auction icon player can bid victory point to get an extra camera with the value 5 on it This is a very nice family game and gateway game, which can also appeal to more hardcore gamers The game is a little random but not to the point where it ruins the game We enjoy it and are giving it seven clear snapshots out of ten
