Sorry, me again. It's funny, you spent ages saying how weak the Paddock was, and yet it is one of the best abilities if you can grab it in the early game, as it gives you so much flexibility - as you then demonstrated :-)
I agree. I think the Paddock is one of the strongest tiles/special abilities. I think it's the one that's most useful. For me, the Tower is one of the weakest, as soon as you've laid on the edge you can only build next to it - but now I say that it can be helpful for Explorers/Knights/Lords/Citizens objectives. Wow, just shows you it's a great little game with all these intricacies and so easy to learn.
Also the Paddock would have let Jen jump one of her settlements across the water to land it next to the castle (when you were debating Jen's first choice at around the 12 minute mark)
This is on sale today cyber Monday
BigBox version on KS right now includes new settlement pieces, each with an unique shape.
What are your thoughts on this base game today? (almost 10 years after you made this video) Is it still worth to pick up and have in your collection?
still love it, still think it's a keeper!

Great game. Easy game to teach. Prefer the Crossroads expansion over Nomads if I had to choose.
Richard, how would you rate all the expansions you have played? For 2 players, which ones are the best to get?
unfortunately i've only played the game game :(
It's a Paddock!!
