Just got this game for my birthday, this really helped me learn how to play.

[@Destroyaj]

The filmography is astounding! This channel has the most professional filming I have ever seen in the board gaming community

[@thecardboardstacker]

+Destroyaj Thanks! We strive to put out the best videos. :)

[@BocajFreedman]

For complicated games like this, it is most effective to explain them backwards. Here's the fix that may help:
1. Game win condition (list the various ways to get VP)
2. Describe tournament phase (this is the most important part of the game)
2.1. Win condition -> how to achieve win condition
3. Describe deck-building phase
3.1. Goals -> how to achieve goals
4. Card anatomy
I hope this helps for future videos! :)

[@thecardboardstacker]

Thanks for the tip! I do this as I explain games when teaching anyway. After I uploaded this video, I forgot to add in a more in depth overview in the beginning. This was probably one of the most complex I have to tackle yet.

[@rayciannello2268]

This is a great game! Thanks for the detailed guide. It’s nowhere near as complicated as I was expecting

[@JR0dM]

This is without doubt the best board game rule explanation video I have ever seen! Very impressed and will definitely be on the look out for your videos moving forward!

[@Kindlesmith70]

This is fantastic. Clear and precise. I think I've watched this 3 times now. Once to learn what the game is about to help me decide if I wanted to back it, second time I watched it I had asked the people to send me the base game and the rest later so I could try it out and get used to it, third time now because I've played it once (unfortunately only one round) and because I don't feel like doing much of anything else. XD

[@mortenrnning4202]

Great video, this should be a template for how to make "learn to play" videos :)

[@thecardboardstacker]

+Morten Rønning Thank you

[@Frost0656]

Excellent, thanks for the help!

[@raymyers700]

Dude, you are awesome! Watching you with the components and those gloves is relaxing like watching Bob Ross paint! Beautiful work!

[@thecardboardstacker]

Thank you. I wonder if I look good in Bob Ross's hair. ;)

[@raymyers700]

+Cardboard Stacker lol! I think that would be great to try!!! Keep up the great work!

Are we going to have an updated tutorial?

[@wolfrine5674]

Great video I'll be sure to remember this. By the way who does the editing? Their really cool with it

[@thecardboardstacker]

+Wolf Rine I do all the editing and visual effects. (^_^)

[@veliqnespa]

This is a great how to video. Easily understood and explained. I was only slightly distracted by seeing your eyes move when you were reading your spiel. Thank you for the video!

[@davidlockwood8127]

Love the video and the camera Quality is top notch but what is up with the gloves?

[@thecardboardstacker]

Thanks for the kind words. About the gloves... I think I look cool in them. ( ^ω^ )

[@davidlockwood8127]

+Cardboard Stacker Good enough reason! :3

[@Graydonhendershott]

Oh man this video was great, the only negative is I was looking to learn about "blast-off actions" is there a way you could explain this to me?

[@thecardboardstacker]

+Graydon Hendershott Yes! Blast-off actions are used just like regular actions. When you can use this action, take 3*'s and place it on to one of your cards in your tableau. Then flip the card you used blast-off with. By the way, ignore the passage in the rule book and follow the card. The designer ruled it out recently because it was out of date.
There is a big disscussino on BGG here

And here's the official/unofficial FAQ.
www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/1559935/rules-faq

[@quentcat]

The rulebook say reveal the element before type in deckbuilding phase

[@thecardboardstacker]

Yes, indeed it does. I was confused because the meta card #1 was type. I did play the correct way, but I found the 7 minute difference is not significant enough.

[@Meowvela]

Question; could the deckbuilding phase be handled without a timer somehow?

[@thecardboardstacker]

Yes, there's is a variant where you can play the deckbuilding phase turn-based.

[@shadydilophosarus9434]

Where do the pro player promo pack come into play?

[@thecardboardstacker]

After the 1st and 2nd tournament, the winner’s pro player set is given out to all other players.

[@shadydilophosarus9434]

Thanks!
