I got this game last year after watching your commentary and got to play 10 or so times. I feel like the first round of this particular game happens decently often that seeing how newer players who are good board gamers react to the shock of a quick round was really interesting.
@@phoenicksgaming In addition to that, they started playing really fast in the later rounds because of that experience right away, when really the rounds are likely to run even longer since the density of RA tiles in the bag is now lower than the game started with
Hi, Nick. Raul here. Great to hear you commenting on our game. Yeah, none of us had a lot of Ra experience. It was fun playing. Alan did a great job, very consistent in all rounds. I tried to catch up on monument scoring in the end, but not enough. Hope to see you all next year again and have fun again. Let's RA!
@raulcadena2911 congratulations on getting to the semifinals! Super exciting. Sounds like you quite like the game so if you're anything like me you'll be a pro at Ra this time next year ;)
Allan here. I was fortunate to jump into a big lead early, and I knew Raul was remotely close (was around 15+ points ahead of Angela and JC), so I devoted all energy in denying Raul pharaoh tie/win

@brainofjikir agreed! The tempo can really take you by surprise and I think the disciplined players know how to pull the trigger early because of it
