There is a slight mistake in the video. In a two player game setup, the A to D stacks have three tiles, exactly as in the three player game (the dummy player counts as a player for counting number of players). In other words, there is no difference between two and three players in this aspect. See two player rules section in the rulebook.
The script was checked by the designer and the developers. The final video was checked by the designer and the developers. That's all I can say really. There was discussion about this yesterday on the Discord server and I was told that my video is correct.
That's fair... But two player rules (with dummy player) were not covered. So I'm assuming the rules are correct as presented if and only if not using a dummy player (although that might not be recommended for two players). Very good video!
@@nkorppi Keep an eye out for the official FAQ and Errata as I think this will be covered there. I know there was a lot of discussion about it yesterday as a lot of people think there is no actual "2-player" setup, but I was told my video was ok - so... who knows
Correction - it seems you are correct. It does say in the 2-player rules that Chronos counts as a player and you DO use 3 tiles. Thanks for highlighting this. It's a shame this wasn't spotted before the video went live, but it is what it is.
No problem! I don't blame you (or anyone in particular). There are other two player rules differences that were not covered either : for example joining an action space with another player's season pillar (not merely the Epoch pillar) gives the other player an influence in the 2p game. But the video is a huge achievement anyway. I can see that it will have taken a Lot of work to get it to this level of awesome. For 3 or 4 player multiplayer games, it's near-perfect. For two players, the rulebook only needs a tiny bit of consulting.
Thanks for another fantastic How to Play video! Neat to see Vital's take on a civ game - well not totally a civ game but with some elements of one. I don't usually go for his games because they are usually so complex that my head explodes or the theme doesn't quite appeal to me, but this one looks very cool.
Paul, as it is always with your how-to-play videos: they are brilliant, accurate, and follow a very clear structure. Thank you so much for this nice video. Being taught in such a fantastic way has been a real pleasure. I enjoyed watching the video. All the best from Germany, Berlin. Frank
Great work as always. The rulebook, solo rules and player aids here are truly not up to normal Vital/EGG standards, unfortunately, but this video is a lifesaver.
Great teaching video. I passed on this during KS because of the chaining and I love Lasers games but after watching this I do have a twinge of regret. I get CO2 Second Chance., Weather Machine and On Mars vibes
That should have said great timing, as I recently received my copy and would like to get it to the table tomorrow. I really appreciate the extra comments you add as you explain the game to avoid misinterpretations that might occur. They make your explanations even more helpful. Thanks again.
Funny -- we played for the first time on May 4th. Some of us watched the Heavy Cardboard video (which IMHO is quite good), We did forget to remove the unchosen idea after setup until it was too late to rewind. I don't think we made any other major mistakes, but its possible we did and I didn't notice/don't remember. Thanks for video
All Actions in this game are pretty simple. But to max out your actions, makes your brain melting away. May you can make the game without the chains but simple with 36 Actions. 😁
Another clarification : In choosing "the" wealth tile, it need not be the topmost tile. It can be any in the stack (letters E to G have multiple options). You also cannot own two of the same letter (even if they are different).
"... and if there's still a tie, play again". Love it! Nice one Paul... A tough game to do a rules explainer for.
There isn't another tie breaker in the rulebook, so I asked Vital, and he said "play again" :)
I do not know what the community migth have done, if you were not there for us Paul !!
Excellent video as always! There is no one better for how to play videos than Paul
As always an excellent how to play video covering everything you need to know on a highly complex game.

This looks like an absolute beast of a game, even by Lacerda standards. This video goes a *long* way towards making it easier to get into this!
Perfect timing, got my copy 3 days again. Amazing explanation as always. Fantastic work ❤

Thank you!
Excellent video, a great belp.
The promo cards threw me for a while as the card count was higher!
Thanks.
Crisp and clear explanation as always Paul 👍
Great. First play on Wednesday and this video makes my understanding of this games more solid!❤
Yay! So happy to have this released! Thank you Paul.
Looking forward to trying this out today! Thanks for the teach!
Another incredible video Paul, thanks for all the hard work on this!
Another great rules video Paul! Thank you!
Great work as always. The rulebook, solo rules and player aids here are truly not up to normal Vital/EGG standards, unfortunately, but this video is a lifesaver.
Thanks for this concise and clear rules vid! Cheers.
Thanks for covering,
Definitely useful given the felt weight from teach alone (looked up BGG and it seems to correlate with what I thought).

"Lasers games" :)
Good old autocorrect!
@@GamingRulesVideos😂
Clear and very helpful as always from Paul! Thankyou
Great job, as always! Thanks for your hard work on these videos!
Great inning and great video Paul. Many thanks!

Utterly fantastic video for an outstanding game!
GREAT resource Paul. You rock man.
Fantastic video explanation!

I've got my own playthrough coming on Tuesday :)
Excellent teach as always!
Excellent video. Thanks again!
Brilliant tutorial video.
Thanks so much.

this is a great video and it tells me to avoid this game as it is way too complicated for my tiny brain. thanks Paul

That is correct. Apologies if I wasn't clear on that.
Thank you forr this awsome How to Play video !!!
Woo woo! Great video Paul!!
Great work as always!
Paul ruuuuules! 🎉
Well hello! Have received my copy Friday I was searching for you since I punched it :).
Amazing work as Always ! :)
Great video as always.
MERCI Paul !
Will there be a solo playthrough?
Nothing planned. Probably outside my comfort zone. Other people have covered the solo mode though.
Can I take any progress tile from one of 1-7 pile (for example the bottom tile from 6 pile) or only the top one?
didnt get to back this one.. :( hope the retail version isnt missing alot
No, when you purchase from eagle griffin you get the upgrade pack with it, making it identical to the kickstarter version.
Clarification : If drawing two idea cards, one can refill the display between the two draws.
That is correct.
