Arguably the best game ever made (according to a certain podcast host)
If there were ever an award for flipping boxes and catching them, you, sir, would be champion.
Ha! Thank you :)
Played this with a friend and LOVED it. Just bought it and going to enjoy it with my wife over the weekend then teach the kids. This video was awesome and well done! Thank you for your explanation and thorough but to the point video!
Appreciate the kind words Jordan - glad you enjoyed this game :)
I HAVE THREE COPIES OF THIS GAME: 1 for travel 1 for home 1 for loan Thanks for the detail walk through: this is the finest walkthrough i came across so far thanks Mr Smith and Team!!
Thanks John - glad you liked it!
Thanks Rodney! This was something ive had on my buy list for some time. The only thing i was waiting on before getting this game was a video from you. It's like tossing a chunk of cash in the sky and having it land in my hands as the game.
Glad you enjoyed what you saw - hope you have a great time playing!
Glad to see you doing this game. I liked it a lot when I played. Great for a shorter in-between game.
Yet another game I've heard a lot about but never played. Man, I've been in a black hole of gaming for the past 3 years and really need to do some catching up. Thanks for another wonderful video! (I saw a couple of blue jays yesterday morning and a cardinal. It was all red, white a blue birds)
Jealous - I hope we get some cardinals here eventually. Beaut of a bird.
Interesting game! Light and easy to play. I can see this as a good game for my family when they are all here
Thank you Rodney & Stephen. Watched this vid yesterday, got hooked and bought it today. Great video of a great game.
Glad you enjoyed - have a great time playing!
So happy to see a game reviewed that gamers can go out and buy right now. Really, really appreciate that!
One of our favorite lunch games - thanks for covering it!
It was a pleasure!
Such a wonderful game!
Such a simple,fun game
Mr. Ekshun he will never tell you..... he’s viscous that way........😋😋😋😋
Really great game. Quick and enjoyable.
Just played this tonight and didn't even look at the rulebook. Thanks again WIP! 🤗
So glad to know this was helpful! Hope you had a fun time playing :)
Wow, this is a stellar how to play video.
Thank you so much!
Rodney: thank you very much for reviewing this game. I know you probably have a huge pipeline of new, complex, gorgeous and miniature-filled games to review, so I appreciate you taking the time to review this elegant, simple but super fun game. My dad loved the game and I remember playing it 5-6 times in a row every time we opened it. And his reaction when he had to give me a 3 coin card 😄
Dr. Finn: thank you for creating this game that brings back so many good memories. Be assured that a lot of gamers appreciate this game, even with the overflow of new, shiny and expensive Kickstarter releases.
What a kind comment to leave! I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying the game and appreciate the videos for these classics!
It is a fantastic game on all players count. I particularly love the 2 players count, it is extremely competitive because it is possible to have more control on every aspect of the game.
Glad you've enjoyed this one!
Just bought this game.... and very pleased to find Rodney explains it. So clear again, thanks
I hope you have a great time playing!
This game is fun but it is a shame you never get to roll those nice, big dice. You are too cruel, Dr. Finn.
I agree! I have heard some people house rule the game's setup to set the starting values of the dice by rolling them, and then adjust them in game as usual. Could be a fun variant, and a way to roll those great dice!
Ha! This is a common thing I hear when I get the game out :)
Roll them to determine who goes first!
Thumbs up for that toss, Rodney!
I've heard so much about this game from Mark with Board Game Barrage and now I know how to play, too. Thanks, Rodney 1.0!
I hope you get a chance to try it soon!
Best lunch game ever!
Another great find, looking forward to actually play this game :)
An old favorite of mine, I hope you have a great time playing!
Thank you for this great explanation of how the game is played!
Very glad you liked it!
This is such a nice morsel of a game.
I always wanted to be given a monk as a gift!
Which proves there's a game theme for everyone!
How many takes did it take to flip that box?
acpudman LOL! Was about to ask the same thing!
Alexandre Me too!
First time, every time, of course ;)
@@WatchItPlayed, Sad that there wasn't a box-lid flip... Time to figure out an impressive sleight of hand for magnetic clasp boxes.
@@Leron... They stumped me with that one!
..And if there is still a tie, tie the tied players together. The first player who's able to break free, wins!
ha! :)
Great little game
One of the first I discovered when getting back into the hobby!
Cool game
Very very good game play overview
Thanks hribo!
00:10 I wonder how many tries it took to get this just right? Or perhaps it is that your juggling skill has improved a lot in the last few months. Or that was a natural 20 in Acrobatics. :)
You doubt I did that on the first try? Aw, c8090s, how you've changed!
@@WatchItPlayed LOL I did cover that possibility - complimenting your skills at the same time - but I have to confess, I did doubt you for a moment there.
Then I remembered Luke's "skill" with the dice, and I thought "What Luke can do with dice, Rodney can do with boxes. Who knew? This is the miracle of genetics!" :)
do a How to Play Fury of Dracula, so i can show the video to my friends and go directly to playing without explanations please
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Thanks for the interest! I talk a bit about that here: th-cam.com/video/EdtDuvIUa6A/w-d-xo.html&t=342
Thanks for sharing! Wondering why this is suddenly getting a video after all this time: are Iello releasing a new edition soon?
I covered Ticket to Ride and Pandemic recently as well :) I enjoy featuring games that I consider could be the "hot new game" for someone who hasn't played it yet.
@@WatchItPlayed Fair enough! Glad to see this game getting some love. Thanks again.
Ma Boi Rodney !
Great
It’s interesting. This game arrives on my doorstep, the same day that Rodney did his Watch it Played.
We're in-sync! Hope you have a great time playing,
Hi Rodney! Love your channel! If you’re playing a 2 player game during the auction phase and your opponent does not bid, then does that mean you automatically get the card by bidding just 1 coin? Or does your opponent have another chance to bid after you?
I guess to simplify my question, is the active player allowed to bid on the card that they are showing? :)
Once you pass you can't bid again, but if your opponent passes right away, then yes, you can bid 1 and take it. They can't bid at that point because they've already passed. Hope that helps!
If you want to spice up your game of Biblios a bit, here's a variant that I really enjoy:
At the end of the auction phase, the players "pay taxes to the church" and whichever player has the lowest total value in gold cards is eliminated from the game, and therefore excluded from calculating scores.
Adds an extra bit of tension because you might have high values in resources, but if you spent too much gold to acquire those resources, then you might not get to win.
This sounds like Knizia added in a rule to my game!
Interesting!
I've a doubt:
Player X passed, player Y and player Z bid some amount
Player Z is penalised for over bidding and the auction phase begins again for that card. Now, will player X, who previously had passed, will again get a chance to enter in the auction?
The rule book just says that a fresh auction must begin.
(As far as my understanding goes, player X will get chance to auction. But now since he knows how much player Y is willing to pay, he may hike the price for that card for him).
Yes, X would get a chance to auction. And technically, X doesn't know "for sure" how much Y was willing to pay. Maybe now they'll bid more to stop player X from getting the card.
Honestly this shouldn't come up much, because players don't overbid unless they are being careless (the penalty is too high to make over bidding something you'd ever want to do).
For a game this old it is surprising that you haven't covered the rules in one of the videos before.
You might think so - but I can only feature about 45 games a year, so with over 2,000 releasing each year, there will be lots of great games I don't get to when they're releasing.
I prefer the dice game :)
I've never tried that one.
Is it good with 2 players?
Hey, thanks for the interest. I tend to avoid giving personalized recommendations. What I like, someone else might not - it's really hard for me to speak to what your experience would be, but hopefully the video can help you get a good understanding of the rules.
What happens if everyone passes on a church card, does it get discarded without the effect taking place?
Correct.
It is very unlikely that it will happen, the church cards are extremely powerful during the auction phase, someone is going to pay at least 1 to get it.
In one of my boardgame groups we are 5 players. Is it possible to play biblios with 5 players? Not originally but perhaps with some little modifications. Anyone there who can tell me?
I've never looked into it, but perhaps someone else has tried?
@@WatchItPlayed
Thanks Rodney, nice to here from you. 😊
Someone can give me an idea, I am sure.
You eased so many evenings by your yt videos in this group, by the way.
@@paulgruber3384 So nice to hear :)
Is it wrong that I want to try this game just because of the creator?
I think that's fair :)
