    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  3 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Some games happen more in the card interactions/combos and effects than in the general rules that govern their play. Not saying there is enough game here for your particular tastes, but something I figured I'd mention.

      Nope. There are many differences. Especially end game trigger conditions. There is a deploy ability of every single card as well. And finally, you can banish cards. Quite different from Fantasy Realms to be a version only, right?

    Rodney, thank your this video. I got this game a while back and am ready to star playing. This video was well done but I do have a question about the 4D painter card you were describing at around 8:12 on. You said that you would collect the bonus of the original deploy location. You played it at Jupiter, then moved it over to the yellow section. And then he said about picking it up and putting it in your hand if you want to., And then you collected the bonus from the yellow section. Wouldnt you have gotten it from Jupiter since that was your original deploy location? Just wondering, trying to get the details down. Thanks so much!

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Eric, I think I see the point of confusion. You gain the bonus from the location that you collect a card from. th-cam.com/video/NqfSYn0-_00/w-d-xo.html
      The importance of understanding that Jupiter is where I originally deployed to in the example of 8:12, is so that it's clear that the column I take "from", can't be Jupiter (as that was the original column I deployed it "to"). Let me know if that clears it up.

      @keirion 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      They do! So, if a card is worth 15 points, it's still getting you 15 points. You're just also getting negative points for having more than 7 cards. You're not actually paying attention to which are the "extra" cards during scoring.

    Thanks Rodney - I wasn’t sure abt the game initially because I know nothing about the books but now I’m sold! I do have one question - say a card is worth 12 points and it also states 14 points if it’s with a blue card, is that an additional 14 points (so 26 pts in total)? Or just 14 pts in total?

    The example in 9:35 of the block ability card: Rodney says after revealing it to perform the block effect it's returned to your hand. I'm assuming in the case of the card in the example that isn't true? Because it says after revealing it you must banish it for the effect to take place. So in order to block you would banish that blocking card. Is that correct?

    I know I'm quite late to this but I'm just now getting to play this game so i have to ask how do you actually end up withore than 7 cards because it seems to me that you can get them exchanged basically meaning u give(deploy) one and take one in return

    • @WatchItPlayed

      The scoring won't be as complex as it looks. You're just adding up a few categories and most of the cards end up with numbers ending in 5 or 0, so they're easy to add up.

  • @milesmojave8223
    @milesmojave8223 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I purchased this game today and put it through its paces.
    A lot of the strategy comes from building up the final "reveal". You're trying to work up to a hand state where the cards' bonuses synergize with each other as much as possible.
    You can also do things like draining Luna of cards so that your opponent will have a difficult time taking the sovereign from you.
    Another thing we've found is that pushing to end game before your opponent is ready is ridiculously punishing in this game. You can place yourself in a position where it looks like you've still got three things to do to trigger end game, so your opponent is counting on three turns... Except you play a card that gives you two favor, then use your bonus to get the last helium you need, triggering end game while they're holding a dead hand... Or worse yet, their hand is full of penalties they were counting on resolving.
    Is it a deep game? No, admittedly it isn't. That's not to say it's a boring game... There's definitely more than enough here to keep board gamers of all experiences entertained and even playing with one another. Plus the price point makes it a very low risk buy.
