A player has a weaker military if the Conflict pawn is on their side of the board. In a situation where the pawn is in the middle of the board, the player that chooses who begins the next Age is the last active player (meaning whoever played the last card of the previous Age).

I think NO ONE on youtube can explain games better than you. Awesome game!
+gonabs I'm sure that's not true, but I certainly appreciate the comment :)
He definitely explains everything very well but other people do too. Typically a game I look up the rules for he’s done a video on. I like how he explains everything so he’s my go to. But if he hasn’t done a video for the game I’m looking for, I just watch someone else’s. Some people don’t explain things well like they rush everything sometimes. But eventually you find someone
If I can’t find a game on Watch it Played I usually look for a video from the BGG Gamenight series. Dave explains games very well and if you still aren’t sure you can watch the play through.
Today was the first time I opened a game, set it up step by step following a Watch it Played video, and started playing without ever touching the rule book. It was so easy! Thanks for everything you do for the hobby, Rodney.
+Bored Online? Board Offline! Ah, thank you Baker - glad it was helpful!
These videos are the primary reason I wish I owned a tablet so I could just play these videos instead of explaining the rules! A phone is a little too small, heh. Maybe I should just play the audio and point to things like Vanna White, heh. I am told I explain rules well, but I always feel responsible when inevitably a first time player says "You didn't tell me that rule!!!" When I am SURE I did.
Believe me - I get that accusation all the time too at the gaming table :)
In my house we only play with six wonder cards because Rodney is our 7th Wonder.
*tears of laughter* :)
🤮
And Rodney, you rock 🤘🏽
@@olliejen😐
How far this channel has come. I remember watching you and your kids play MoM in your basement and now it's a full fledged channel/business. Please don't stop... the structure and quality of each video is just top notch.
We've been fortunate to be able to continue to work on this, because of people like you who keep watching and enjoying. Thanks!
I don't care how old the video is, it's always the best instructional video online for a game!
I've bought games because the video was so well done...lol!
Great job as always.
Very nice of you to say - have a great time playing!
Same!
Just playing this on BGA for the first time.
I love how 7 years on, your videos continue to help people. I hope you feel proud & happy with yourself.
Thanks for the vid!
Ah, very kind of you to say Bez - hope you're enjoying this one. A tense competitive game for 2!
I love how when I stumble upon a new board/card game I’ve never heard of before and search for it on TH-cam to see how it’s played, you often pop up at the top of the search results. Always makes me happy to see you in the results so I don’t have to hop from random video to video to find one that’s actually good.
Very glad to get to show up in your search results once again :)
Exactly what happened to me this evening 😃, Rodney is the guy!
This was a good video. I really like how clearly you explained the game through use of easy to hear speech, visuals, and examples.
Thanks so much Ty, very kind of you to say.
Learning rules isn't fun except when Rodney is the teacher 👍🏻
Linus Ottosson Very nice of you to say - thanks Linus :)
For real though, you seem to make it super clear and clean and simple. Kudos!
I can concur. Wish he had the time to post all the time for all released games :P
So glad you like them :)
@@Momaou That’s awesome, dude.
Rodney makes by far the best and clearest videos showing how to play tabletop games 🙌
Very kind of you to say Adam - means a lot to know you’ve been enjoying them.
It took me a while but I’ve finally “discovered” this game. Incredibly clear concise and personable explanation. Thank you!
Glad you found the game and this video :)
One of the best 2 player games of all time. The art, the mechanics, the gameplay, the tension...an absolute wonder!
So glad you've enjoyed this one!
Excellent way of explaining the rules!! Since English is not our born-language, we were looking for someone who could explain the game in an easy and CLEAR way!! So you did it!!! Thanks a lot!
You're very welcome! So glad you found these easy to follow.
Haven't had this to the table in years. Your video hit the sweet spot and got us playing in minutes. Top work fella.
Glad to know it helped Matt!
Dear Rodney. Just wanted to say a huge thank you for the effort you put in to making these videos. Every time we get a new game we see if you have a video for it. Always informative and always explained extremely well. Thank you for making our boardgame lives easier.
Skye that is super nice of you to say - I'm so glad you've found the videos helpful :)
The most amazing thing, besides his craft, is that they still reply to comments 😂😊 Awesome work. Sitting in front of my wife, while she reads the instructions in German. Our year-end-vacation games are awaiting us :-)
Have a good New Year!!!
Have a great, game filled vacation and happy new year to both of you :)
Between this video and the gameplay video with Pat every little detail of the game was thoroughly explained. Great work Rodney!
Thanks Dale! Glad you enjoyed. I'll pass your kind comments on to Pep as well!
Rodney - You're the man. Your videos are so organized and done so well. Love em love em love em. Your instructional videos are literrally 2nd to none!! Keep up the great work.
Thanks so much - glad you're enjoying them :)
Your channel is the first thing I come to when I pick up a new game now. The way you explain rules is so easy to follow, I would be lost without you. Keep up the great work!
Thank you Jake - so nice to know the videos are helpful!
Excellent work! Very clear instructions and great attention to detail. Whatever you're doing for rehearsal definitely pays off in the final product!
+Gabe Denick Thanks so much Gabe - very nice to know you liked it!
12:29
both players win? NO! there can be no win/win situation in a tabletop game. it means rematch!
Always a good option :)
Rock/Paper/Scissors/Lizard/Spock! Or a knife fight. I prefer the first.
Excellent tutorial Chaz. It moves along at the right pace, it's very clear and is a much more efficient way to learn the game than the actual rulebook. Great work, thanks!
My name is Rodney, but either way, very glad you enjoyed Kristian! Thanks for the kind comment.
Thanks, Rodney. We recommend your videos to everyone because you are THE BEST at explaining games.
That's very kind of you to say - so glad you've found them helpful!
This is a fantastically clear video, and the timestamps in the description are extremely helpful. Subscribed!
+LukaszVT Very pleased you liked it. Thanks for joining us!
Thank you so much! I played this with a friend at a board game store 2 years ago and totally forgot the rules. Now I work in that board game story and another friend bought this and doesn't understand it so I needed that review to explain it to her. It was so concise and perfect. I understood the whole game. No need for me to even open the rulebook.
So glad it was helpful (and what a cool story to hear how you ended up working at the game store you first attended!)
I have over 100 boardgames and still learn all true your video's, I even buy based on your reviews. Thank you for all the great content!
Very glad you've found the tutorials helpful - appreciate the kind words!
Thanks for the help! My gf and I are very new to the world of strategic board games, and we had some questions that were not covered in detail by the rulebook. Liked and subbed for future board games! Extremely helpful and detailed while remaining concise and to the point. You rock.
Very kind of you to say Anthony, really nice to know the videos were helpful for you both!
Hi Rodney, I just thought I'd let you know that I discovered your awesome channel via the original 7 wonders review you posted. I bought it and my friends/fam enjoyed it very much. I look forward to this new installation of the series, seems like a great game. Thanks for another great video :)
+Rayshm Singh So glad you enjoyed the previous series and stuck around to see this one :)
I just want to say you are incredibly clear and concise. Unlike many other videos, I don't feel like you ever waste any time and you never need to repeat yourself. Your explanations are easy to follow and well-paced. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for the very kind comment - really nice to know you enjoy the videos!
@@WatchItPlayed ❤️
Cheers Rodney. Superb job with the explanation as always. Superb game as well. :)
Glad you liked it Kevin!
I find it amazing that you still reply to every comment. Thank you for the clear and concise guide, I'm really enjoying the game (on table top simulator mod).
They found a pretty clever way of bringing that 2 player experience to 7 Wonders didn't they? Glad you've been enjoying!
You are really really good at explaining complex games in few words. Thanks!!!
Very kind of you to say Julie - thank you!
Great job of explaining the game! To the point and easy to grasp. Thanks!
You're very welcome Daniel - glad you liked it.
Thank you for the very helpful video. My wife and I enjoyed playing this game a lot, thanks for showing us how to play!
A pleasure to assist - glad you guys enjoyed it!
Fantastic. I just received this game and had a quick go at it with my son. Rule learning on the fly which left us confused about a few things, but it was still fun and left a very good impression. Your very articulate explanation of some of the mechanics has cleared up several things and I'm really looking forward to sharing this knowledge with my son and having another go at it. Really appreciate your work Rodney!
Glad the video was helpful Robert and I hope you and your son enjoy your rematches!
Another incredibly helpful 'watched it played' video, thanks!
Glad you liked it Thomas!
the rule book was sooo confusing and demotivating and now because of this video its soooo easy! thank you🙏
So glad to know this was helpful - have a great time playing!
Just got my Brazillian version of 7W Duel.
Still the best rules teacher!! Thanks, Rodney!!
Thanks for the kind words Flavio!
Your explanations are so helpful. Thank you so much!
Very kind of you to say - glad you enjoyed!
This is such an excellent tutorial we could jump right into the game afterwards, thank you 😁
So nice to know that it was helpful - have a great time playing!
I actually have had this in my collection for some time, but as a teacher my time is measured, so I am just getting to try this game now. Thankfully, you had this episode. At the end of the video, I felt a bit uncertain about a couple of rules, so I just watched it again and checked the exact language on the manual to verify what I thought I perceived. Language choice is so important, which is why I watch your videos. As I tell my students, clarity is crucial! Thank you!
A very kind compliment - I hope you have a great time playing!
thank you , i finally get how activating the wonders works! very clear explanation!
So glad to hear this helped!
Just ordered this game and can't wait to play it!
Hope you have a great time with it!
Thanks! I'm sure I will!
Hello! Can anybody tell me if you can play 7 Wonders Duel with the cards from the Regular Game of 7 Wonders. Obviously I need to print the military board and the tokens. But rather than that the cards seems to be the same. Can anybody confirm that?
Hey! It's FantaVision! I love your videos.
This review was great! I haven't played 7 Wonders but after watching this, I definitely am going to add this 2p game to my collection.
+britishgolgo13 Glad you enjoyed the instructional video - thanks for checking it out :)
excellent instructions. your not too cheesy, nor fake. clear and concise. good job.
Glad you're enjoying Peter - thanks for the kind feedback.
This looks like a great game for you and Luke to play with one another in a game play video. My 13 year old son is anxious to get his hands on this one because he's certain it's a game he can beat me at, like the original 7 Wonders.
I’ve watched many videos explaining rules to a game so I wouldn’t have to read the rule book. Yours was by far the best, short and to the point without being too detailed - thanks! I’ll be back :)
Thank you so much for the kind words - glad you enjoyed.
Cheers for the walkthrough, got setup quickly and played a game in no time. Only had to check the rule book to clarify iconography plus a couple other little rules.
Glad the video was helpful Bento San :)
Best tutorial to date! Just bought the game and usually I'm all about reading the rulebook first before video tutorials. Coudn't wrap my head around a few of the concepts as this game needs to be learned more visually. This video is perfect. Thank you!
Very glad this was helpful Mario!
Hi from the UK! We got this game for Christmas and the rules weren't overly clear. We're really glad you made this video, thank you so much! You've made the game much easier to understand for beginners. Happy new year to you! 🎉
I hope you have a great time playing - thanks for the kind words!
Great work Rodney! So glad i backed your campaign, you literally make games seem more fun by your positive attitude! I'm gonna be annoying and request a Battlestar Galactica video again but regardless keep up the good work!
Did you see the announcement of the new BSG like game coming out (you'll find it in our recent News video).
Love your Channel. Always great and informative.
Thank you Darrell!
Thanks for the vid, man! Watched this vid before playing our first game and it went very smoothly, thanks!
I'm very glad the video was helpful! Pep and I did a playthrough of this one too if you're curious how our game went!

You're very welcome Danielle - have a great time playing!
I read through the rules and then watches this at 1.5x speed, which filled in the gaps nicely. Thanks for putting this together. You do a wonderful job of efficiently providing comprehensive instructions in a succinct and logical way.
Thank you kindly John!
Extremely helpful! Read through the rules for like an hour... Oops, should've just watched this instead. Thank you!

My husband wants to play this game tonight and we’ve never played but after watching your how to video I am pretty happy/ excited to get to playing this when he’s ready to do so! Very clearly tell us how to set up and play. I’ve heard some good things about this and really bad things about the 2
Player version of the original game so glad this seems very straightforward
I hope you both have a great time playing!
