    Hi, I really appreciate your channel and the variety of games you cover in such a clear and concise format. Your explanation of the rules and flow of the game makes the games seem easy, which is impressive considering how complex some of these games can be.

    6:17 Thank you for showing us where the turn order track is. For some ridiculously odd reason, the rulebook doesn't point this out at all.

    Perfect explanation. Just watched it after our first play and this helped us see some mistakes we made (2 VP for tiles in the corners) and happiness that can not overcome population :)

    Thanks so much for this. One big question. My rule book on page 8 states: “ place all players Matt markers on the turn order track in descending order based on their total initiative value (highest total initiative value is placed first on the turn order track and so on). Since they are placed in descending order, and the highest initiative value places first, in your example, wouldn’t the blue have placed their marker first, on turn order 3, then pink on 2, and finally purple on 1? 3, 2, 1 being decending order.

    • @nithrania-gameinanutshell
      @nithrania-gameinanutshell  ปีที่แล้ว

      I see what you mean, but this -> (highest total initiative value is placed first on the turn order track and so on).
      "Placed first" means placed in the first position (1).
      The important group of words is this: *in descending order based on their total initiative value*. Meaning - the descending order is applied to the initiative value - from highest to lowest initiative value.

    Flawless video! Just put game on table and finished your video. Have no questions at all, at least for the first run. Your channel must become popular asap. Congrats man! And the best thing is thst you cover games that are heavy weighted and do not refer to most people.

    Hi.
    Thanks for the video :) But I have one question. As I understand from your explanation when you build a pillar within the temple complex you get points for your building. In the rules, there is such information:
    Page 17: 1. Score 1 Victory Point per Building (not Statue),
    regardless of ownership, in the same row and column.
    Ok... just watched it three times and you say "if you have any buildings" - which in my opinion suggest that we count only buildings from player building the pillar :) But, this could be the as well "if you have any buildings meaning if there are any buildings in this row/column". If so, then it may be misleading :)

    • @nithrania-gameinanutshell
      @nithrania-gameinanutshell  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi, you're right, it's not the best expression I have used. I don't have any other buildings there (other than blue) so it may look like only "your" buildings count. But it is ALL buildings, regardless of the color.
      Great catch, thank you!!

      Yes, in my pipeline for end of October / early November, depends on the delivery from Board & Dice. 😊

    How do you compare this to Trismegistus?

    • @nithrania-gameinanutshell
      @nithrania-gameinanutshell  3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Well, personally I'm not a huge fan of these point-salad games. It feels like we all play different games - I do pillars, you do workshops and quarries, then we all have different decrees (goals), and the only common element is the dice pool around the obelisk. So that's why I like Trismegistus more.
      On the other hand, Tekhenu is a little lighter (but still quite heavy) and easier to understand, and I have a stronger sense of accomplishment than in Trismegistus. So, from this perspective - it's a bonus point for Tekhenu. :)
      Net-net, I think I like Tekhenu a little more only because Trismegistus is just way too heavy and has way too many options in my opinion. Trismegistus is a heavy and challenging puzzle but too much brain-burning, and I have a little more fun playing Tekhenu than Trismegistus.
