This is probably my most anticipated game ever. And part of it is the fact that its NOT on kickstarter. Its like, "Here you go! A new amazing game.....that comes out in a month!!" And as always Rodney with the killer walkthrough.
Hi Rodney, can you make a video on how to execute the perfect box flip? 😁 Awesome video as always. Looks like Stonemaier has another winner. We’ll definitely try to get this one to the table!
Rodney, you have come such a long way production-wise since you launched this channel (was it 8 years ago?) and even since I got into the hobby and started watching you in 2015. It really warms my heart that most of your videos nowadays are sponsored, as it means that you are finally getting the recognition and reward you deserve for the value you bring in the industry (being featured on BGG I'm sure is a great honour but it doesn't pay any bills). It has been a joy watching you grow and noticing the subtle changes in assertiveness. Your presentation skills, hard work, attention to details and of course the magnitude of your output are inspirational. You're also probably one of the nicest guys in the hobby :) So kudos and thanks!
As encouraged, I didn't hesitate to write this, but sadly, I don't really have anything to say besides thanking you for your job and your warm personality. Hugs and kisses Rodney, keep being you.
I was honestly not certain what to expect with Tapestry upon hearing the initial information. The buildings looked nice, but I was not certain what part they would play in the game. They just seemed a little large and clunky. Having watched Rodney present this game (and for me, he is the best intro option out there), the use of the buildings makes sense, and I am extremely looking forward to getting this game. Given, I'll need to watch this video a dozen more times to take it all in, but I am excited to do so.
The video I’ve been waiting for! Thanks Rodney; after the explanation I have a lot more confidence in being able to play and understand the game. Watch It Played helps me understand the games as I find it tricky to absorb written rules. An absolute key resource for me; so thanks for all that you do!
Thank you for this excellent walk through. Precise and easy to understand and so well organized. We watched together as a family and it really helped us thoroughly enjoy our first play through of Tapestry. Great game overall and we're looking forward to future plays.
Thanks for the kind words (and interest in more solo content). We just launched a new solo based series, with more episodes on the way: th-cam.com/video/hYYrELw3a_g/w-d-xo.html
Oh. My. Goodness! I have been watching the production notes Jamey has been putting out, and I am on the list for the Pre Order. I am now even MORE excited than ever!!!!!!!!!
I broke the news to my wife that we will be adding yet another Stonemaier game to the collection (Scythe, Wingspan, Viticulture are all three our regular plays..... pretty much to the exclusion of almost everything else anymore). She will watch this video. I told her to prepare to be totally blown away. How does he keep doing it. We played Viticulture four times on Sunday alone!!!!
Thank you for putting this out. It answers some of my questions yet I would like to see it fully in action. I did see that there is a video posted from another youtuber so I will check that out.
This was incredibly helpful. Tapestry is an amazing game, but definitely pretty dense to get your foot in the door. This made the rules very digestible and I'm excited to share this game with more friends.
I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve!!! Tomorrow is the big day for preorder. I have my alarm set, and am ready to go. I cannot wait! I plan on being on the line promptly and being one of the lucky ones!! And I am getting an extra set of the Science and Military Dice as well. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!!!
Rodney, you are the best! Have you ever considered having a teaching series about non-boardgame topics? I would watch them as well. You make the complex very understandable. Good job as always. I cannot wait to get my pre-ordered copy of Tapestry!!
I have another, personal youtube channel, and while I intended to do more tutorials there, I mostly vlog on it. But I did do this one: th-cam.com/video/peQzgOU-5jg/w-d-xo.html
Good rules overview. This game isn't what I'd call "newb-friendly" (with all the fiddly bits and rules nuances) but once you get a handle on things it's quite a blast and strategic. Love this game.
Rodney, I've been watching you for years and dare say this is the video I've finally forgotten the old intro music vs this current one you've had a while. took me a long time, but I'm officially converted:)
Guess its a little late to say it but, I ran into your videos (The really old ones, back from 2013) And I really enjoyed the tutorials you have made! You have helped me teach other players at my table and I just wanted to say Thanks! Your videos are fun and I like how you used to interact with the viewers (Legendary Marvel was fun!)
Keyforge has a few pages of rules but the cards have rules each just like this game. So like in a card game you learn the game as you play. So its still a simple game to start but complex game to win.
This game looks awesome. Hope I can still pre-order it somewhere. Another excellent video from Rodney, and it seems another excellent game from Stonemaier Games!
Even the cubes look good in this game :). Thanks Rodney for another great video. I would be interested in a behind the scenes how you make one of your videos. Obviously you are very good at this and as an aspiring game designer, it is cool to see how you do a good “how to” videos so well.
Great rules overview, thank you. Nice to see how the various entries of Jamey's diary have come together into a coherent game. Really looking forward to this one. Will tense myself for potential sticker-shock on September 4th.
I always play this game when watching Watch It Played: Where is the box, before you see Rodney flip the living devil out of it! It's great. You can turn it into a great drinking game: everytime you guess it, you have to drink a glass of water and everytime you don't guess it, you also have to drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated people!
@@WatchItPlayed Cabalists run deep. Just wanted to share I have 3 nephews and the level of excitement they have when I bring a game that has a watchitplayed is absurd. Last time I even gave them a choice between a game “with awesome monsters and other cool stuff” vs “boring game but it has a Rodney video”. They unanimously voted for the Rodney game. Keep up the great work. 🐍🐍🐍
What... That intro box flip... Perfection. Instant thumbs up!!!!
Thanks Johan :)
Yeah, those flipping skills are top notch. The flourish at the end as well!
This is probably my most anticipated game ever. And part of it is the fact that its NOT on kickstarter. Its like, "Here you go! A new amazing game.....that comes out in a month!!" And as always Rodney with the killer walkthrough.
Yeah, it's great SM isn't using Kickstarter anymore!
Can't wait for reviews since I'll have to wait for essen to get the game in French.
Paused the video after 1 second. Clicked 'like'. Shared it to friends. Resumed watching on a big screen 👍
I like your style. Thanks for supporting the videos you like Steinar!
I did exactly the same lol
Appreciated!
EXACTLY WHAT I DID HAHAHA
@@Liantoricky You're all the greatest!
Complex yet simple! The rules aren't complicated but there's so much to do! Looking forward to playing it. Thanks for the great video 🙂
Way too much to do!!!! Great!
Hi Rodney, can you make a video on how to execute the perfect box flip? 😁 Awesome video as always. Looks like Stonemaier has another winner. We’ll definitely try to get this one to the table!
Do 87 takes.
stenobro obviously it’s empty genius. For it to end the flip on the right side is the ticket
This game looks super awesome. A 4 page rulebook + WIP explanation = perfection.

Thank you for the incredibly kind words - that means a lot (and yep, we started late in 2011!) - it's been a journey!
This is my most anticipated game by far ! I truly admire Jamey Steigmaier as a designer and as a person.
As encouraged, I didn't hesitate to write this, but sadly, I don't really have anything to say besides thanking you for your job and your warm personality. Hugs and kisses Rodney, keep being you.

the game is gonna be stellar!!
that was the civ game that i was looking for.
action-by-action pace, no downtime, many choices!!!
it's going to be INTERstellar!
wah wah wah

Very kind of you to say, and so glad to hear they've been helpful!
Shouts out to Jamey Stegmaier for putting a sudoku minigame in here.
He said it was inspired by a feast for odin which is one of his favorit games :)
What Sudoku?
@@ZoidbergForPresident the capital city map
@@JimmySquiky Yea, just a grid.
@@ZoidbergForPresident Well it's a grid in the shape of a sudoku grid, 9x9 square with 9 3x3 square in it.
Thank you for this excellent walk through. Precise and easy to understand and so well organized. We watched together as a family and it really helped us thoroughly enjoy our first play through of Tapestry. Great game overall and we're looking forward to future plays.
Really nice to know it was helpful James and that you all had fun!
That spinning lid tho! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Overshadowed pretty much everything in the rundown. Great work Rodney!
Ha! I hope you caught a little of the rest of the video :)
I was a bit confused after reading the blog diary but once again, after watching Rodney, everything is clear now.
Glad this was helpful A G!
I love your passion for gaming and your concise explanations. Would really like to see you doing more solo rule explanations in the future!
Thanks for the kind words (and interest in more solo content). We just launched a new solo based series, with more episodes on the way: th-cam.com/video/hYYrELw3a_g/w-d-xo.html

Your tutorials are seriously the best. I am so looking forward to this game.
Thank you so much Jill!
Thank you. This is the most anticipated game of the year for me.
Clear and concise as always.
One of the major deciding factors in the ‘do I buy this?’ question is whether or not there’s a How It’s Played video
Hey Ben, thanks for the kind feedback, glad you liked the video!
Thank you for putting this out. It answers some of my questions yet I would like to see it fully in action. I did see that there is a video posted from another youtuber so I will check that out.
Watched this a second time. Cant wait till I get my pre ordered copy!!!
We just played tapestry for the first time and it took about an hour for it to make sense but then it was so much fun to play
Glad the effort paid off :)
I like how Rodney placed Tapestry on TOP of Terraforming Mars lol... Subtle Rodney... veeeerry Subtle :)
This was incredibly helpful. Tapestry is an amazing game, but definitely pretty dense to get your foot in the door. This made the rules very digestible and I'm excited to share this game with more friends.
Very nice to know this was helpful - have fun playing Kevin!
Currently my favorite TH-cam channel! ❤️ Love all of the videos 🙌🏼
Thanks so much Alex - glad you're enjoying!
Thank you! Definitely one of the best videos I have seen for ANY game!
Very kind of you to say!
Rodney great job. Wow, I almost feel like I'm playing Scythe. But it does look good.
I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve!!! Tomorrow is the big day for preorder. I have my alarm set, and am ready to go. I cannot wait! I plan on being on the line promptly and being one of the lucky ones!! And I am getting an extra set of the Science and Military Dice as well. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!!!
It’s gonna be here soon!!!!
Thanks for the explanation of this game. I cab not wait until it comes out in Dutch by 999 games.
I cab not wait either!
I just gave a 👍🏿 cause u have the most well organized time marker in ur description box in all of TH-cam !
Thanks Karen :)
Probably the most anticipated game of the year for me!
Love your crisp and clear explanation videos. Best on TH-cam! Greetings from Germany
Thank you so much - glad you like them Simona!
Dat box lid flip at 25:04... How do you manage to do it so perfectly!?
300 takes per flip.
Check out Rodney's blind flip/throw/catch of Corinth here, the man has a gift th-cam.com/video/HOJoIOSII0s/w-d-xo.html
He has a video that shows the outtakes of box flips. It's worth a watch.
Lmao I didn't know about the outtakes video, I'll give it a watch :P
@@Thesteadfast which video it is?
Rodney, you are the best! Have you ever considered having a teaching series about non-boardgame topics? I would watch them as well. You make the complex very understandable. Good job as always. I cannot wait to get my pre-ordered copy of Tapestry!!

Glad you stuck around to get to this point :)
I feel silly for worrying that losing the polo shirt would diminish WIP. These videos are even better than before!
Hey, always nice that people care about changes... it's means they care about the show. Glad you're still enjoying Patrick!
It's all come together in my mind now, thanks Rodney.
You're welcome Andy!
Terrific tutorial. Looks like a deep civilization game with straight forward rules. Looking forward to playing this one.
Glad you enjoyed checking it out Andrew!
Simply the best at what you do. X
Very kind of you to say.
Superb box spin to open the video! 👍
Thanks Rodney, you are making the best How to Play videos! 👍👍👍👍🖖
Thank you kindly Erril!
@@WatchItPlayed And you are also the nicest guy ever 😃 I wish I could meet you someday and give you a hug 😃
I was waiting for that box to fart as you closed it.
I've got lots of practice :)
I've been waiting for this! Very nice explanation :). Can't wait to play this game!
Thanks Rodney for another excellent video. You are the best at How To Play videos.
Thank you kindly!
Guess its a little late to say it but, I ran into your videos (The really old ones, back from 2013) And I really enjoyed the tutorials you have made! You have helped me teach other players at my table and I just wanted to say Thanks! Your videos are fun and I like how you used to interact with the viewers (Legendary Marvel was fun!)
Not late at all - and very apprenticed. Thanks Mario!
4 pages rulebook they said !!!
hahaha it doesnt mean is not a complex game. Complexity can arise from simple straightforward rules.
Same as Concordia, few pages rulebook and 20 minutes of me talking.
They didnt say how big these pages are :)
Keyforge has a few pages of rules but the cards have rules each just like this game. So like in a card game you learn the game as you play. So its still a simple game to start but complex game to win.
Nope...quite literally 4 pages of rules and the two symbol sheets. I'll grant you the instruction manual is size of the box.
Ah, another Rodney “box flip” Smith, A.K.A ‘Spinning box” Smith A.K.A “Spin Skillz” Rodney, video
Good, good.
This game looks awesome. Hope I can still pre-order it somewhere.
Another excellent video from Rodney, and it seems another excellent game from Stonemaier Games!
Pre-orders are from September 4-7th on Stonemaier Games website
Pre-orders just opened this morning. Go get it!
This game wasn't even on my radar until a few days ago, and now it has me intrigued, and I blame you for that... Lol! 😊
I will go to my room and think about what I've done!
Thank you Rodney. Hope you and the family are doing good.
Thanks Joshua!
Man! I cannot wait for this game to come out. Fantastic rules explanation as always Rodney!
Thanks Dave!
It's as if Terraforming Mars and Tiny Towns had a baby
That is so accurate!
I have to say, the miniatures look a LOT better than in the first images Jamey posted. An excellent video as always, Rodney. Three thumbs up! :)
Three thumbs? Go see a doctor! :)
Excellent video! Thank you for all your hard work!
Have a great time playing!
Oh snap. Sooooooooo excited to play this! Thanks for the video Rodney!
Looks amazing & another win for Stonemeier games, so excited to play this. Thanks!

Jamey Stegmaier sure makes awesome games!
Way to show off your 1st appearance of the Punisher Spidey comic! I am very envious of you.
Punisher is a favorite character of mine and this was a kind gift from some very dear friends A little tribute to them.
I can’t wait for the Invaders from Afar expansion 😁
Sounds fun, and I really like the components too. Might have to pick this one up.
Great run through. I will be preordering this game when it is available for sure now.
Great rules overview, thank you. Nice to see how the various entries of Jamey's diary have come together into a coherent game. Really looking forward to this one. Will tense myself for potential sticker-shock on September 4th.
What a gorgeous production. Seems like a really immersive experience. I think I need a bigger table. :D
Looks absolutely amazing. Awesome video as well, as usual!
Thanks so much Diego!
Great video, Rodney! Thank you!!! Playing this week, hopefully!
Hope you have a great time with it!
Wow this video is truely great!! Well done Rodney and Jamey!
Thank you kindly!
Man I love the way you teach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Frank!
Two things to discover on our own...dangggg
Another gem. Thanks you old cod fish.
Excellent as always, cheers!
Whoa that was a nice flip throw and catch at the start!
And not a small box - thanks! :)
I love the understated humor in these videos
Thanks - I don't want it to be distracting, but I do hope it gives people the occasional smile :)
@@WatchItPlayed It's perfect! Can't wait to see you on the Dice Tower, I heard a crossover is coming!
Got mine today! Very excited!
Enjoy!
Very good tutorial,excited to play the game
Thank you kindly!
Been wanting to see about this
Great video, thanks so much 👍

I believe reviewer content is coming out later.
That box flip/catch! 😮
Thank you! I love your work!
You're very welcome - thanks for the comment!
Excellent, looking forward to this!
Excited to try! Nice overview, thx.
Glad you enjoyed!
Wow big box, but those components are 🔥! Wonder when this is available. Still trying to get a hold of Wingspan
Pre-order from the Stonemaier Games website in early September, full retail release in October/November stonemaiergames.com/games/tapestry/
Pre-orders are September 4-7 starting at 9:30 CDT
Will pre-orders for Essen be through Matagot for the English version as per usual?
By the way I believe Wingspan is available through the Stonmaier Games website
@@chriswinston1223 Matagot is debating about it as we speak. They haven't released their final decision on it yet.
Excellent video again Rodney! How many times did you have to redo the box flip for the opening part of the video? ;)
First time, every time ;)
