BUS How To Play + Strategy Masterclass! by Splotter / Capstone (Detailed!)

Joining the Discord for access to the Cardboard Hunter rules for Bus by Splotter & Capstone: / discord
This is a very detailed How To Play video for Splotter's Bus. If this is your first time playing Bus, this video may be a bit more than you need, but if you're looking to understand all of the rules, along with some tightening of some of the ambiguous areas, then you're at the right video! This Masterclass level How To Play, will give you a deep understanding of the route building mechanics, in a way the rule book can't! This is designed to make you a better teacher and host for the game!
I also go over various strategic tips throughout the teach! I'd love to hear your own strategies!

Cool I want to play this one day 😀

We should have played this instead of Wyrmspan 😅😂

[@BadatBoardgames]

@@CardboardHunter definitely!!!!!

[@knomey]

It would be super cool if you did a playthrough video. 🚌

[@CardboardHunter]

Yea I could probably arrange that sometime soon! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@picklebuckeye]

I remember when I first played this, for some reason my brain just kept freezing up, just straight up blue screened lol

[@CardboardHunter]

Haha I think we've all had a Splotter experience like that

[@cdouglas6]

There is supposed to be a reprint of this this year, right?

[@CardboardHunter]

I believe Capstone is planning on dropping the reprint crowdfunding campaign in November of this year, but I wouldn't expect copies to arrive to backers until mid 2025 at best.
