This is an excellent way to learn this game since the concepts and mechanisms are much more sticky as you see them being done. I need to play this more (have this same edition and have only played it 4 times thus far.
I agree (and thanks for the positive feedback)! I definitely found this was one game that "high level concepts" left me kind of clueless but as soon as I saw it in action I was like "got it, got it" :)
Great video! One little thing not mentioned in the comments is the famine wasn’t increased after the famine phase the two turns you got the explore tokens. So it would be quite a bit higher. I don’t think it would have forced you to add graves though. 🙂
6:20 - don't both hexes of the Fisheries tile need to be touching the body of water? I think you can only fish in one of those lakes, not both. But then I'm just learning the game myself.
Very random question: what's the name of the black-tray-organizer that you use to store the chits? and where can I find it? looks cheap and practical :-)
It’s true they are great. They are GMT chit trays. Most board game stores should carry them. Here in Toronto, we have picked them up downtown at Meeple Mart.
@13:03, you can't pollute the water because it's not within your zone of control. You'd need a manned harbor to do that.
Good catch! This is true :)
Going back to this video as we might try a 2P game! Hope you're doing great!
Fantastic overview. Your playthrough was really, really helpful. Thank you!
shout out, this is a really good tutorial :D thanx! x
I've been meaning to break this game out and learn it...your video helps a lot! Thanks!
This might be the best tutorial of this game ever. I would love to see more content from your channel, seems like you are on hiatus.
