Mine as well :) The game is flying under the radar so far with not much buzz (!)... Can't see it stay like that for too long. Set it up and got through the rules last night, but haven't played yet.
Per the rule book it looks like you can move your assistant down on the black market track with every dice placement in phase 2 not just if the dice placement spot had an assistant icon above it. Great teach though.
Preparing to play this at the weekend for the first time. Have to say I'm really loving this so far. At 1:28:00 Edward starts loving on the mechanic of where you're placing your dice. It reminds me very much of The Artemis Project - has Heavy Cardboard looked at this before?
Love, Love, Love dice/worker placement mechanisms!!! And the prioritization drama during the placement stage is great intensity.....Jess’ Ugg’s, moan’s, groan’s = about 4-5 GTR’s each time around....lol
"I don't even smoke, and I still want a cigarette" says it all. I love how it doesn't matter if a card or tile or "share" etc would be hypothetically overpowered, because everyone has the same chance to compete for them (given also that the turn order is not written in stone). You're not handed anything. And the tension is really juicy in all of phases 1-3 actually - when you set the dice, when you place them and when you choose the "rewards". Game has to pick up steam pretty soon. Has to.
First look wasn't that interesting, but the agonizing decisions with assigning pips, how it affects turn order and where to use them was really great. The different board sizes are triggering my OCD though.
Wow! What a game! I can really see why Edward liked it. It's not for me though, I think. I'm looking for heavier games with more player interaction, but let's see how Die Macher fares for now... :)
Still trying to figure out what differentiates this from other dice placements on the market - thought the economic aspect would be more relevant, with some kind of "funding" on the projects, investment, etc. Anyway, awesome teaching that allowed me to be prepared to teach it tomorrow on game night. Thanks a bunch! BTW, someone could explain what is this whole "Glory to Home" thing they mention sometimes, and that whiteboard? (I know it is an epic game, but... ?)
I haven't played many other dice placement games, but I guess in terms of pure worker placement aspects it's the twist that you only know what you'll get from a dice if it's the highest die placed on that board. Or if tied, the first die placed. This is what creates the great tension you see in this playthrough. For the sake of argument, let's say the last player saves the round's only 6 to the last turn. Up until that die is placed, no one can be sure of ANYTHING they'll be getting (unless a board is completely occupied). Compare it to any worker placement game where you place worker(s) and receive immediately. This is so much more delicious, I have to say.
Se ve muy complicado y poco elegante para ser otro juego de colocación de trabajadores. It looks very complicated and inelegant to be another worker placement game
Well I'm now really sold on this game after watching this play through. Thanks for teaching Edward.
thank you for this video, very well done, a lot to show and with this top view I am able to follow everything, perfect ! nice game I will buy it :-)
Wow! That move against Shrey was nasty! 😂
Great teach! Love seeing Derek on the show too! This was my most exciting pick up from Essen. Can't wait to get it to the table.

Wow, so good. I'm with Derek, this is a strong contender for game of the year.
This was already on my radar and this playthrough pushed it to the top! Looks fantastic!
Really a great explanation ... will follow your next videos

Not really a fan of dice placement games but on the other hand it does look really good. Definitely one to check out at Essen

Capstone Game? Check. Never see anything about the game? Check. Edward makes me buy just like Lignum and Three Kingdoms? Check. Good game HC!
You used the Black Market side for 2/3 players... Didn't you?
Keep watching;)
Just sayin' Turkey was not a country until the 1920s. At this point, it was the Ottoman Empire (I think).
