You guys have made a rule-error for Adjacency Bonuses at 33:33 minutes. You have said, that you must match 2 of the same side-symbols to get the bonus AND you only get one of it. That is incorrect and you are confusing this match rule with the match rule for red/blue corners (which does work the way you described. See the top of page 10 in the rulebook. It says, "If you place this tile (wall tiles and upgrade tiles) so that the symbol lines up with a symbol on an adjacent tile, you gain BOTH bonuses represented by each symbol." The bonuses depicted do NOT need to match each other AND you get both rewards. You MUST match to side-symbols to get the rewards (one on it's own gets you nothing). In your scenario, you would get 4 points when you place a 2 point next to another 2 point (but Alyssa did NOT need to match symbols to get rewards).
Thanks for the play through, great work everyone. The old saying "the camera takes off 40 points" seems to still hold true :) I really like introducing Praga to people who don't like conflict and blocking in their games, even when that sweet action tile gets taken right in front of you, it doesn't seem cruel or deliberate and usually you can take a decent action anyway, and if you can't, it's usually your own damn fault :p
Maybe I missed it in your explanation (even though I was trying really hard to find it). In the rulebook, it states that when you take an action tile from the green / blue zone on the wheel, you do not score any extra bonusses. The bonusses on the wheel still count. In all the playthroughs I have watched, as well as on Yucata.de, I have not found one reference to that rule. People normally take the upgraded tiles's bonus, as well as the edge / corner bonus. My question is : "What is meant by these extra bonusses?"
I have one other question. In the event that you have upgraded stone / gold mines to 9 and only then produce for the first time, do you get both wealth bonusses (the 6 and 9)? Or do you only get the 6?
I don't want to shame you guys(too much) but let me tell you something.......... Have the game and played it 3 times I think yet can't remember the scores although have the impression that the scores were above the 100's. Recently I discovered that this game could be played on Yucata so I have 2 games going on and one finished and that one I can give you the scores. I had 135 but that got me the second place with the winner having 157 points. ;p

Very cool play through. This game is, as a friend told me, smoother than it deserves to be

It’s a great game, one of my favourite! Good job!
Glad to see some love for Suchy!
Thanks to Edward, Alyssa & Gonzalo for the very nice playthrough. I like the game very much and should play it more.
Nice one! Edward mentioned Vital Lacerda - how likely you are to revisit some of his games? It would be nice to see another playthrough of Lisboa
