We tried to play just by reading the enclosed instructions. Gave up quick and watch this video instead. Much easier to understand.
I'm glad to her this was helpful. Enjoy saving the world!
@@WatchItPlayed btw what happens if, say, the infection deck runs out of cards and you can't draw from it by some crazy chance? Do you automatically win or...what?
@@u1tr4k1rby It won't happen, so there's no rules for that.
That’s soo fkng true
Same here. This video was excellent at explaining the game. I tried reading the directions and they were difficult to understand. Thank you for this video!
My girlfriend and I both work at a hospital and we are just mentally fried right now. These last couple weeks have been hell and it's not going to get better soon. People are scared, morale is shot and we don't have enough supplies/beds to safely treat people. I had the legacy version of this game laying around and we started playing it at night just for something to joke about in these crappy times. I just wanted to give a sincere thank you Rodney for teaching us how to play and giving us something to laugh about and get our minds off work. I hope you and your family stay safe in these trying times.
I can't even imagine what it must be like for you both right now. As scared as many of us are, those of you on the front lines are really taking on the brunt of the risk. Thank you for using your skills and talents in this way, to shield, protect and heal the people around you. I am very happy to hear that in the middle of all of this, you are still finding moments of joy. Thanks for the well wishes, it goes double for you.
It's so cool that you guys take time from your day to make boardgaming more accessible to normies. 👍🏿 Keep it up
Very glad you’re enjoying the videos!
@@WatchItPlayed hi. I recently bought the panademic board game and it lacks one city card the Moscow. As I didn't find picture of it on internet can I ask you to tell me the population of the card and send me a high quality picture of it for me to print it and make a card out of it. It would be very appreciated.
@@hesamhm9383 I google'd and found this: www.ebay.com/itm/225301919634
@@WatchItPlayed it is exactly what I wanted 👌 many thanks for your response.
My god dude, thank you so much, me and my friends played this game and thought it was so hard, until now that I've watched this video and realized that we were playing it wrong. You earned a subscriber dude, keep up the good work
Great to have you here! Glad it helped :)
Same!
Thanks for the excellent video. I watched this a couple of times before breaking out my new copy of Pandemic for a family game night, and it was a success! Even with it being the first time playing for all of us, everyone commented how easy it was to immediately enjoy the game from the start because I had taken time to learn from you first before trying to explain the game to them at the table.
That's wonderful feedback Brady - I'm glad we could virtually team up to assist with game night :)
I wish the 7.8 billion player variant played on a spherical board 8,000 miles in diameter, which we played 102 years ago and we're playing again today, was also played cooperatively.
World population 102 years ago wasn’t anywhere near 7.8 billion 😂
@@MrCostaC World population was only 1.8 Billion 100 years ago 😱 risen by 6 billion in 100 years
I played this "years ago", but now, due to recent events, we need to play this more! (in under 10 people groups.) :D
Thanks for making these vids, Rodney! They really help make game-night less frustrating.
Very nice of you to say! Have a great time playing :)
we love ur videos fam, u don't say any words weird xx
*thumbs up*
OH EM GEE. MY WORDS NOT WIERDED EITHERS TOO!!
"...weirdly."
or
"...in a weird fashion."
Hugs!
words weird... like fam?
We love this game, and I had the board signed by the author (in Lucca Comics 2018).
We haven't been able to win since then.
Our team is always: doctor, researcher, quarantine specialist
I love that medic role, super helpful!
Every time I buy a new game, I look for YOUR videos. They are very well done! Thank you for your good work!!
So very kind of you to say - have a fun time playing!
My game came on Monday. We played our first game and actually won!!! Definitely working together helped. We were able to cure all four diseases. We decided to see if we could eradicate before "losing again." Not so easy that. We ended up losing by outbreaks. But now I have also loaded the game on my iPad and play in my down time. This is a great game!!!! Thanks again Rodney, your detailed and well done explanations make it easy to learn to play, and also expose us to new games (to us) that we have not heard of, or like in this case, one that we had been looking at but were unsure of, and now we can't wait to play again!!
I wish I could play this with friends, but we’re in it
But hey-
This was great for clarification!
Maybe zoom 《eye roll 》
Really digging these How to Plays of the older, modern classics (Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne, and Pandemic)! Would love to see one for JAMAICA.
Believe it or not, I've never played Jamaica :)
* GASP * haha... well, there's no better time to learn!
Dude you’re amazing! Since discovering your channel I always watch you videos before even opening the box. The instructions make loads more sense after your explanation! Thank you so much!
That's so nice of you to say - really glad to know you're finding the videos helpful!
Once again, CRYSTAL CLEAN H.T.P. video & like many others I really appreciate your integrity efforts towards excellence (the re-uploads), thank you for all you do!
I think this time will be the last time I have to re-upload - thanks for your patience :)
Thanks Rodney, great vid. Love your enthusiasm! My daughter and I have just 'graduated' to this game from Forbidden Island. Same concepts but a little extra complexity and more options. We run out of those Player Cards far too quickly though!
Keep trying, you’ll get it!
You sir have made my Christmas! Bought this game for my girlfriend started reading through the instructions and got so confused!
Watched your video and we played it and loved it! Thank you and Merry Christmas
A very Merry Christmas to you too! Glad to hear the gift went over so well. Have fun saving the world!
I like that you're making these videos for older games. I watched the link you posted in the comments below about why you've added these to your channel and it's for people like me hahaha. I'm so new to this hobby and I've been starting with a lot games that people would consider old.
I think the ones that have stood the time will always be someone's new game, so it made me want to make an effort to give them some attention too - glad you're enjoying them as well :)
And for those of us new to these games. Keep it up - very helpful and informative.
@@WatchItPlayed COSMIC ENCOUNTER needs the Rodney treatment! As a game appropriate for beginners, I have looked far and wide for one comprehensive video explaining the game and the rules from expansions to send out to players for rules prep (and not waste valuable face-to-face time on explanations), and there are none. Some are OK. All are flawed. It's so easy to get to the table once everyone knows the basics, but a FTF explanation for "the new people" can easily burn up 20-30 minutes.
koomo801 Thanks for the interest!
Not So Nerdy Nerd : I love that he’s doing older games too! I know how to play this, but I have a co-worker who is new to gaming, and I feel like I’m bad at explaining things. So, I send him a link to Watch It Played videos and then I don’t have to teach the game from scratch in the limited time we have available! ❤️👍🏾
Thank you for these videos! You're excellent at explaining. Every word chosen wisely, always clear and easy to follow if I'm paying attention:)
So kind of you to say!
Thank you!!! You made understanding how to play this game so much easier than the actual instructions.
So glad it was helpful Kacy! Good luck saving the world :)
We won our second game but still had to re-watch this video again for a reminder of the rules. Now the learning curve is over and I'm sure we will have lots of fun just setting up and caring on with the game. Lots of fun, and so many different outcomes.
It's always great once the rules are locked in and you can just focus on the game play - enjoy!
Great explanation on how to play! Clear, concise and understandable. Good job.
Thank you kindly!
You really do a great job at explaining all of these games. Thank you!
Very nice of you to say - thanks and happy gaming!
I’ll play this game with my family during COVID-19’s quarantine period.
I’ve just discovered I’ve been playing pandemic the wrong way for months! Thanks for the video, Rodney! You really help me with your videos and to get on with the new (and also the olds) games!
I've found mistakes I've been making in old classics too - glad we could help with this one!
Every video I watch of yours I always wait for you to say "and around and around it goes". I'm never disappointed
Ha! I will try to keep it up then :)
Very clear and precise video. Thank you! Excited to get started!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful to you!
Absolutely wonderfuly explained,thank you so much!
Very kind of you to say Vlad!
Pandemic is an awesome game. Glad to finally see you on your channel Rodney. It's a great example of modern board gaming and I handily recommend it. Any chance for Pandemic promo cards in your next fundraiser? Would love to have you/pep as roles.
That would be fun :)
You always explain things clearly and succinctly. Many thanks 🙏
Very kind of you to say - thank you!
The game that makes me reach for my hand sanitizer.
This comment aged well... maybe a little too well
This comment was before it’s time lol
swedish king wow
This game has sat on my shelf of shame for over 2 years, but will be breaking it out tonight for a first ever play!!..Thanks Rodney!
Have a great time playing!
So glad you started making videos of older yet classic games such as Carcassonne, Pandemic and Ticket to Ride... Consider making one for Stone Age please. Your videos are valuable. Keep up! ;-)
Thanks for the interest!
It is nice to see you doing these "classic" games, I watch them despite having owned them for a while just to see how they have been presented and to verify if I have made rules mistakes myself.
Doing these has caused me to catch a few things I was doing wrong :)
I agree! Keep up the good work!
We need a version of the game with boards that are 6 feet wide and has UV lights on it to sanitize the cards as you pass them from player to player!
👏😷
Great video. You explain things very well. Much appreciated.
Thank you Frank!
was trying to play with my parents. This video worked like a charm. Thanks so much :)
So glad this helped!
thanks! ur videos are beautifully explained and great camera work!
Thank you kindly!
I read so many reviews on Amazon saying they couldn’t understand the game, but when me and my friend were 9 we totally understood it and had a blast playing it.
Yes. Different people have different expectations and experiences with rules complexity. It can really swing peoples reaction to them, to be sure.
Great videos. We love playing board games and always watch your videos before we play a new game
So nice to hear Amorette! I hope you have fun playing (and saving the world!)
Was given this game for Christmas. This video has been incredible thank you
So good to hear - have fun saving the world Peter!
Great video - thanks for clarifying EVERYTHING.
So glad you found it helpful Chris!
Very clear explanation. Thanks! Running off to play now!
Have a great time!
Thankyou very much for this very clear and informative guide, appreciated.
You're very welcome Chris!
Awesome explaination. Thanks. Made it so much easier to learn
So glad you found it helpful!
I saw this video and was excited to many get it. The next day I walked by a yard sale with the same game! It is fun but I think I prefer games like Hero realms , Descent, runebound. Ect. Anyway I love your videos
Thanks for the kind words about the videos!
This was extremely helpful. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
i am now ready to play with my wife and kids. as usual the best tutorial channel on the internet Rodney!
You are too kind - have a great time playing!
Your explanation is always the best!!
Very kind of you to say Anne!
This video is a great help, thank you very much!!
You're very welcome!
This was such a clearly explained video, really enjoyable to watch. Thanks!
Very nice of you to say Ajay!
Perfect, thanks.
Why would anybody dislike this video. A lot of thought was put into this. Great video.
Very glad you liked it - thank you!
One of the best games ever
Such a good video, clear and detailed, as usual
Thanks so much John!
I'm a crazy, or is this the third time to see this video? This game is my evergreen. I've taught my friends and family and it's a hit every time.
You’re not crazy. I had things to correct.
Thank you, Groundhog day anyone?
Question for you, in your outbreak scenario, what happens if both Tehran and Karachi already have 3 cubes and Delhi is forced to outbreak. Do they chain reaction eachother and force Delhi to re-outbreak? Or do they technically both get “outbroken” at the same time from Delhi meaning they don’t chain to each-other?
Hope that makes sense!
Check this section of the video as it should answer your question. Both would outbreak, but remember, during a chain of outbreaks from a card flip, a city that itself already had an outbreak doesn't receive another cube (it can't re-outbreak during that same card flip): th-cam.com/video/ojkScPkdgsk/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared&t=843
That one game which always intrigued me , you actually spreading decease and causing the end of the world...the inventor is kinda sick man hah ... anyway as for the game-play , you gave an excellent explanation , the were a few small question and you answered all of them, very glad , of course deserve a like :)
Thanks for the like!
Amazing video, thank you now I can play!
I hope you have a great time with it!
Thanks for the quick instructions! Can't wait to try this game tonight :)
I hope you ave a great time with it Kean!
You are great! Thanks for great explanation!
You're very welcome!
Awesome thanks for this, so helpful
You're very welcome Chris - have fun saving the world!

My biomedical science students are playing this game. Thank you for your video it was very helpful.
You're very welcome - I hope they enjoy!
Wow! Thanks for the video I got the the game a couple of days ago and this video really helped me.
Very glad to hear it Grine! Have fun playing :)
I just watched your tutorial for Pandemic. Very clear explanation and easy to follow! Thank you very much. I subscribed to your channel. Wanted to know if you have tutorials also on how to play Puerto Rico and 7 Wonders?? Thanks you!!
Hey Jose, glad you found the video helpful and welcome. I do have a video for 7 Wonders. It's an older one, but it'll fully teach you to play: th-cam.com/video/z_Wfdn5Es8U/w-d-xo.html
These kinds of videos are literally a life saver. Thanks so much!
You're very welcome - glad you enjoyed!
Thank you for the video it was very helpful!!

Thank you for this video me and my cousin GAVE UP AND DONT UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTION and we watched this we now understand it now new subscriber her i love this game !
So glad to hear the video was helpful - welcome to the channel and happy gaming!
@@WatchItPlayed 😊❤👌🏻
Dude -you ROCK!
We've played Forbidden Island & Desert, and I picked this up as our next delve into group gaming. Between you & The Rules Girl, I think we're ready, though probably need to wait until school ends to start, due to time. :>
Sounds like you've got a nice collection of games to play :) Enjoy! Thanks for the kind words about the video.
I thought this video was much better than Rules Girl's. My kids and I were still lost after hers, but watching this one made it crystal clear.
Thank you for this detail explanation!!!
You're very welcome - have fun playing!
@@WatchItPlayed I just bought it and can't wait!!!
This made it so much easier to play. Thank you!
So glad to hear it!
Again, great how to!
Thanks Chickster!
Excellent tutorial!
Thank you!
Very well done overview. Thanks.
You're very welcome!
Thanks for the instructions!
You're very welcome - have a great time playing!
My sister introduced me to this game. When she visited me and my family we all really liked it.
Hey, great to hear you enjoyed!
Very Well explained! good Job!
Thanks Haig!
That clears it all up.
Glad it was helpful!
I don't have the game, first, I look up to the rules of the game and the theme. After this video, I decided to buy the game, this looks so fun. 8 looked up at the roles, and my favourite one was the medic I think or the quarantine master. Thank you! 😁😁😁
You're very welcome - have fun playing! The Medic is my favorite!
@@WatchItPlayed hello again :) I purchased the Pandemic game, and my favourite characters are the Medic, Quarantine Specialist and maybe the Researcher
Thank you so much, now i can play it.
I hope you have a great time saving the world!
Thanks for this, I just got the game - total bargain on ebay, an earlier, less pretty version, but I'm ok with that... - we played with our daughter last night and won! I was sceptical at our victory, and watching you today, I discover that we shouldn't have won, we reshuffled the Player Deck and kept going... oops. Still, we'll have another go tonight, and see how we do. Thanks for the vid!
All the best saving the world this next time around :)
Great overview of how to play! Thanks!
You're very welcome!
@@WatchItPlayed played my first game with the family, had everyone sit through your video. Very useful, thanks again!
