We Are Gibsons - Meet the People Behind the Puzzles
Hey, i have a question. Does being on a london location mean only when the top card is a location care or everytime until we move to some other location (means are we going to consider ourselves to be on baker street even after performing an action or information card qfter that?). Want to know this for the rule for mycroft. Can we only play him over a green london location card or we check the last green card, even if we bave played more cards on top of it?
This game is so good!! One of our favourites
Yes!
Music is way too loud
How to glue pieces to make a picture
My family have a copy of the 1940s version. My dad who was a captain in the royal artillery and I used to play it. It is very good game and it is good game for girls too
Great to know, thanks for sharing Gibson, love your puzzles.
The music is much too loud to be able to hear the instruction clearly.
The original 1974 game had a superb production quality but this is a significant enhancement of that!!
The digital version needs an update for modern systems or a remake!
Great video on health benefits of puzzles. Nice shirt too.
What do people do with the puzzles when they are done- I like doing them but I don’t like keeping them. Suggestions ? Places to donate?
Try telling my wife this as I buy yet ANOTHER puzzle!
is this why I have soooooooo many puzzles ....
I remember this fondly from my younger days, but the original had one flaw .. you could put your controlled Royal on a boat and leave him out at sea. The expansion kit removed this by the addition of a "Violent storms at sea, all ships sunk" card. Favourite memory is of starting a game early one NY Eve and the hostess losing everything due to a plague in York, at which time she went to bed. The following morning, about 9 hours after she went to bed, she came downstairs to see us all still around the board. Having ascertained that it was still the same game and we had indeed been there all night, her matter-of-fact response was "I expect you'll want some toast then"
What is gibsons footbal cards price?
My heart is broken that I didn't even hear about this Kickstarter. My older brother wouldn't let me play it with his friends back in the 80s and now I'd love to own a copy. Dying for the retail release of this game.
are you going to have a US distributor?
Hi, I have a question. If you play the hanson card and the players are at the country, should they only play the Country card only or can it be a different location?
I love the process of solving puzzles, but unfortunately I don't get much satisfaction from finishing the work. I'm not interested in putting in the last pieces, or even sad that the game is over.
I think you need to increase the level. More high difficulty ones. It happened me before too.
Played the original - fantastic game.
I live in India. My grandma's friend went to London to meet her son. She brought me this game from there yesterday.
Visually uninspiring, given the iconography of the tube itself.
Great explanation of the rules well done
My buddy Bob Bledsaw made many variants for the game with new cards and rules. We had a lot of fun with it. It was a good game when getting a bunch of people together because even someone was late, they just start when they get there and no worry about having a quorom of players.

Thanks for the video. I just bought the game today, looking forward to playing the game!
Oi Tom Vasel or whatever ya name is!, REVIEW TIME BOYO!
I never got to play this because I was too young but my big brother and his mates were always playing, so now its my turn to experience this classic! CANT WAIT! TAKE MY MONEY! NOW!
Ditto from my last comments and SOLO MODE... what a package this will be, an absolute must so come on folks pledge, pledge and pledge. Even though the instructions where a bit iffy with the Arial version me and my cousin played the game for hours and days on end and enjoyed every second of the game!
Goes without saying I'll be buying it cos I was too young to play it bruv! TAKE MY MONEY!
Hi! I have recently rediscovered in my cellar a box of Kingmaker first edition (Ariel 1974). Unfortunately I realised that there is no user manual, while - searching in the BGG Files section - I found several files containing the list of things needed for the game, but referring to later versions (1976+). I should have all the components; the only thing missing is the manual with the rules of the game. Do you have a scanned copy? Or how to find the rules for the 1974 version? Obviously I am an absolute beginner for Kingmaker! :-) Thank you in advance! Kind regards, Andrea
Can't wait! My favorite game from my childhood!
Take my Money!
Great to see that Gibsons are bringing out a new edition of this classic game from the 1970s - which was a Gibson's game originally I believe? This is the game I first played as an absolutely raucous and chaotic 8 player game aged 12 that turned me in a lifelong boardgamer. I'm pleased that Gibsons allowed the new designer/developer to take the necessary time to improve this game with the more the 40 years of gameplay behind it, and taking into account modern advances in boardgame design and production, and the contributions from keen fans. The original has stood for more than 40 years, may the new edition stand for at least 40 more :-)
Oh boy I hope that’s not the final map
There are actually two maps. One is for Classic Kingmaker (that includes the original rules and variants_ and the other is for Kingmaker II (that is a newly revised version of the game that incorporates prestige victory and regional movement among many other things). Look for the Kickstarter on September 9th, 2022 for more details.
@@ralphanderson8090 that’s great news!
Hello, I have some questions: 1. When I run out of cards, and make an arrest. If the player does not hold a Villain card, should I add all the accused player´s cards to my hand? or is it like playing Holmes? 2. What happens when the drawing pile runs out of cards? 3. On my turn, if I can play a card, can I choose to draw anyway?
Hey, I can answer these questions and hopefully you can answer a question I have. 1. You do not take the players cards in this case because the standard gameplay is over as soon as you run out of cards. The player who you wrongly tried to arrest now attempts an arrest of their own, and it follows that pattern until someone is successfully arrested. 2. The last card that is turned upward is kept there so the next player knows what cards can be played on it. The rest of the deck is shuffled and returned as a fresh draw pile. Just be sure everyone remembers what location you were in before shuffling because you obviously won't be able to backtrack through the cards to find out anymore. 3. You do not have to play a card just because you can. You are allowed to draw anyway... this is actually a big part of the strategy. Now here's my question: When tallying the scores after playing, we've always counted all the duplicate cards in our hands. For instance, if I have three "disguise" cards, each one is 10 points for a total of 30 points. However, in this video (timestamp 7:42), they are tallying the players points and they only count one "alibi" card for 15 points even though the player has two, which would make it 30 points. Are we supposed to only be counting one of each card, or did they make a mistake in the video?
@@busm795 I´m pretty sure it is a mistake, the instructions say: "Players total the value of the cards they hold and add to their scores". It looks like total implies each card counts. An official source confirmation would be nice though!
I have a doubt with the inspector card: 1. If played after a Scotland Yard card, the player may make an Arrest AND make any one opponent pick up two cards from the draw pile? Or the player must choose to arrest or make someone draw? If both effects are combined: 2. Does the arrest take into account the recently drawn cards? (meaning that if you draw a villain in the cards you may get busted anyway)
@@busm795 Just tried a first trial of the game: all novices. Quite confusing, but can see it becoming a fun game once learnt. I had a similar question to (1) while playing: what happens if an "arrest" is unsuccessful at the end of the game? The rules don't mention cards still being passed, so I at first thought they wouldn't be. But then what's the point in guessing? People just take turns at guessing until someone with a villain card is found, and then everyone totals the cards they were holding at the end anyway, before anyone guessed? It only seems to make sense if cards are still passed from the falsely accused to the accuser, unless I've misunderstood something? [Edit: OK, I had misunderstood the scoring for villain cards. I thought cards were just totalled. I'd missed the bit where villain cards only score if detected (arrested), and also count as negative scores for the successful accuser. That answers my question on why make guesses in turn at the end of the game until a villain is found. Sorry.]
@@federicoianmurphy Hey, I actually received a response from Gibsons Games and it is a mistake in the video, all the cards are supposed to be tallied (except villain cards if you were not the one arrested).
I love your puzzle, specially the ones about memories or retro ones.
Hello - not a good enough explanation. I have this game, and you haven't explained the difference between the tiles with the Bee symbol on the perimeter, and the Bee symbol in the centre, or the other symbols on the tiles like X2, and the reverse symbol. I cannot find the explanation for the Bee in the centre anywhere. We use this tile to be a completely "wild" tile and can be put anywhere, especially in a space that is enclosed on all sides. PLEASE try to add more explanation about these additional tiles & rules!
Hi Elizabeth, thanks for getting in touch! Do you have the full instructions included with the game? They give a lot more information than this video does, including what all the symbols in the centre of the tile means. If you don't have the full instructions, please email our team on hello@gibsonsgames.co.uk and we can send you the instructions there.
