Can you explain the differences in tightness and strategy of base game, farmers, and advanced variant? Seems like Farmers is your preferred but I haven’t seen anyone talk about the advanced variant.

Farmers is the advanced. Regular is without. You can place an envoy on them after you’ve got one adjacent to them. They give different actions as well as additional victory points. It also gives slightly less room to not be adjacent to the towns in the first place
What a weird review / gameplay explanation ... you just jump directly into the details of scoring and some actions. Why don't you start by telling about the theme of the game? And what goals are the players going to accomplish in general? What are the main ideas, concepts, mechanisms ... ?
I find the primary camera angle uncomfortable. Dude looks like he’s having to lean forward and cramp himself into the frame. I’d say he’d have a sore back and neck after recording.

Really like your energy and enthusiasm, but I also struggled to make sense of the scoring (and the game itself) as I was missing an introduction the basic rules and goals.
I just picked this up today at Origins. Played twice tonight…it’s so fun. This is going to get a lot of play in my house. Very simple rules, very fun.
great review, game looks awesome, thanks👍
Chris, How do you feel about Cascadito? Is it a slimmed down roll ‘n write version of this?
2:43 Chris, How does this compare to Rebirth? I have heard that Rebirth is similar to Babylonia, but lighter. Thanks!

How’s the game with 2 players?
3 & 4 will be best IMO. 2 is fine but not the full dynamics
Thanks for the clear overview. Cancelled my Kickstarter pledge.
Why is that?
Great review, Chris. Second isn't best though... Triples are best.

The real question is: Cascadero or Babylonia?
Ooof. TIme wise Cascadero. Push otherwise!
Both! 😉
Babylonia
