I have pre-ordered it in my local store and looking forward to playing it! I agree that the base game felt too repetitive and with the expansions there were too many cards, I hope this version fixes both issues.
We did get SpaceBase about a month ago because we were told many times that if we liked Machi Koro we would like SpaceBase as well. But we have to get it to the table! Soon though! - Alison
It definetly seems better than the first one. Once you had played Space base, you would not want to play original machi koro ever again. This could maybe give Space base a run for it’s money
Great video! We encountered this problem when playing the game and could not find an answer from the rules. Could a player build the same landmark more than once and trigger the effect each time?
Once a landmark is built, it’s built and you couldn’t build it again. If it’s an immediate effect you would only use it once when you build it, but if it’s an ongoing effect you would continue to have the effect available.
I don't really think so, because of the landmarks. A really big part of MK2 is the way the landmark abilities affect or are available for other players, which has been the deciding factor of the game for us in more than one instance.
@@PlaytheGameHQ I am thinking whether the landmark cards can be taken away from Machi Koro legacy and played with like MK 2. I haven’t finished legacy though. We’ll see lol
I am considering doing the same thing. I don't like Machi Koro 2 doesn't have the expansions that you can now buy as one bundle in MK1. It sucks to lose all those cool cards.
Component quality as far as I can tell is exactly the same. Coins are the same plastic, dice are the same quality, and cards all felt the same weight/thickness.
Fantastic overview! Thanks for laying out all the newness for everyone!
Planning on bringing expansions I hope!🤞
Thanks for this video! I was on the fence between the 2 because I had only demoed the original. Definitely buying 2 now!
Glad we could help - getting 2 is definitely the right choice!

Do you like playing "Space Base" as well? Very similar mechanics to this game.

Do you think it’s possible to apply the rules of machi Koro 2 to machi koro 1 with its expansions to turn MK1 into an equally fun game ?

Turns out I lied. I bought MK2.
@@MrGameOwnage liar !!!!!!!!
Btw can you share the info of all the cards inside with me? I wanna see if my plan will work
Thanks for the comparison. I'll by MK2. ❤️ from Australia.
It looks like its cheaper than the first game does it hold up in terms of component quality?

so disappointing.... thought this was actually a new game...ive already bought machikoro, machikoro dark and machikoro legacy. NO MORE
