I am an avid tabletop board gamer who enjoys explaining games to new players. My goal with this channel is to treat any digital port of a board game as a gateway game for video gamers to the hobby. I don't believe that we need to resort to simple, light games as introductions to the world of modern board gaming and this channel sets out to prove that.
I'm also trying to beat every game on Board Game Arena at least once.
Any suggestions for ports to be covered/taught, let me know!

haha. bez oshibok)) nice
I lowkey love Can’t Stop
It's one of my favorites, especially on BGA because it's so fast
I’m so here for this
Good luck!
Antiquity (and The Great Zimbabwe, and Indonesia lol) have been living on my shelves for a long time unplayed. Finally taking a stab at Antiquity in particular this week and your video was really helpful in consolidating concepts better than the rulebook does. Thank you!
That was fun to watch! Your opponent could have ended the game on Turn 12 by placing the grave on a cart--the rule is that you have to have one functioning building of each kind, so it's possible to disable one cart as long as at least one other is grave-free.
Oooh good to know! Thanks!
Thank you!
Thank you for doing these
ive seen your TFM videos so many times now! They are literally my favorite thing to listen to right now. Thank you so much, and I would really love to see another play through!
This is such a wonderful game. RIP Chad Jensen - he was a wonderful game designer and a "wonderfuler" person!
One thing I don't think you explained, unless I missed it, is how you get assistants. You showed us the six assistants, but did not tell us how you get those cards. Please clarify at your convenience.
The assistants/minions weren't revealed in this game so I didn't explain them; they're in a later crate. I'm glad this was helpful!
Thank you SO much for making this video. I was worried that the horrible in-game tutorial would keep me away from this game. You have been an immense help. At the beginning of your video, I thought you were going to ramble too much, but you really stepped up and explained the start of the game perfectly and comprehensively, with some great humor to boot! Numerator/denominator to explain current and max influence . . . hahaha! You must be a mathematician!
Yeah!!! Thank you, great play-through helped tremendously...
I just got it on iphone yesterday. Great job on video! Looking for Part 2.
I finally published it; th-cam.com/video/WuarXVDfKFs/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for the play-through. You did quite well. I barely win against the easiest AI - Earl. I've had the game on my iPad for a while, but I've only recently really got the hang of the rules. Now I'm loving it and contemplating getting a physical copy of the game (this or Railways of the World).
Nice! Oh and companies with loans can't do cheap train buy/sell, so I will humbly accept 4th place.
2:30 I think you were thinking of Age Of Industry. Age Of Steam is the original railroad game, after which came Railways Of The World (originally called Railroad Tycoon) and Steam. BTW... I just came here from your Steam: Standard Game video. You did a good job!
Where do you get these digital versions of the game?
Eclipse is on Steam or on iOS for iPads, and Google Play (probably for tablets, too)
Rachel Plays Board Games got it
Thanks for your play-troughs Rachel, I really enjoy them! I finally got this on Steam, because the app crash on my Android, then I found out Legendary can't be played offline :( not even singleplayer, weird... Oh well, maybe I've found a good reason to buy the boardgame :) Happy gaming!
Happy gaming! I agree about the weirdness about not being able to play offline: I wish the developers were able to devote a little more time to making a more user-friendly and stable port. Thanks for your kind words!
Why did you research Journalism right after taking Multimedia which are the same building-type? Wasn't that just wasting 6 Research-Points? :o The easy AI is really bad at bidding for colonies and generally way below your skill-level. ^^
Very true about the AI; it makes a lot of poor decisions and doesn't optimize based on where it is in the age. I wanted to play the AI in the videos to aid in explaining. Regarding the Journalism vs Multimedia, I don't recall why I did it. If I had to guess I'd say that the cost of the Journalism in terms of resources is less in general, so it might've been an economic choice. And I might've taken Multimedia on the off-chance that I'd be able to afford it in the future. Thanks for watching!
The higher-level AI is a lot better. I haven't moved up from Medium to Hard yet cause I win less than 50% on hard. I better not tell you what kind of mistake I made in my last game. I had Space-Flight almost ready and simply forgot to finish it in the last turn. It's not that I couldn't have finished it. It was kinda covered by that Stadium-Thing and then I clicked End turn and went... Wait a minute! I'll very likely watch again if you make another video of this game with a more challenging setting.
I think you are a little too good to be playing against the easy AI opponents. Very well explained.
Other good games you could take a look at: - Through the Ages: My current favorite - Steam, Rails to Riches: I prefer Age of Steam rules and the AI is weak but still worth looking into - Brass: Didnt't play with the app yet but it's a great board game
I actually am working on my Brass and TtA videos right now! I also plan to do Agricola soonish.
