This game fills a HUGE niche no one is taking notice of! It's the perfect start to a game night, when some of you are present and ready to play while others will trickle in over the course of (WHO KNOWS WHEN) as you can ADD NEW PLAYERS or remove players at will without ruining the game. Too many times I have waited an hour at the start of a game night as people trickle in at random times waiting for the rest of the group to show up, not wanting to start a DECENT LENGTH game because you would not be able to finish it in time as the new people arrive. This game is a big fix in my opinion.
Just a rule note, but you are not allowed to burn task tiles when placing them. On page 4 of the rulebook : "You may NOT place a task tile that would cause a territory, track or stream to consist of more tiles at the moment you place it than the current task marker requires."
The placement rules were confusing to me, so I tried to distill it down. In hopes it helps other viewers, here's what I came up with: Tiles may be placed edge to edge however you like! Except… 1. You can’t connect a stream edge with a non-stream edge, or a track edge with a non-track edge. 2. You can’t place a task tile in a way that makes it impossible to complete. For example, such that its task territory is now greater than its number, or is now less than its number and closed off. If you later make a prior task impossible, remove that task from the game. Great playthrough vid of this surprisingly overlooked jem! Thanks!
Picked this up a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for the playthrough. It really helped fine tune my understanding of this game. You two made it look easy!👍😊
Thank you, guys! It looks fun and not too heavy, may be a good filler. I was a little concerned about replayability but extra things to mark according to the score and new boxes to open look like it will make it fun to replay.
Even without the campaign track it's addictively replayable. Like a game on your phone, you're always trying to beat your previous high score. It's fun with friends, it's fun solo. Great game.
Haha yeah I can see that. I think in this game especially it’s important if someone is experienced and playing with someone new, give them room to make their own choices rather than suggesting the optimal spot immediately
Hey Doolin! So glad you dug it! Definitely let us know how you like it when you try! Ps. Not at all super jealous of the fun week you got to have with the Foster the meeple fam ;)
you get the taste of Dorfromantik for sure...for people who want to share their play of the popular little video game with their friends, I think this game hits the mark. But for me, I think I'm happy just playing the app.
That’s totally fair. Nick and I feel the opposite so I suppose the shared experience is what makes it so fun :) glad both versions exist so we all get to play a rad game
My reading of the rules says that was an invalid tile placement. P4 under "Additional Details": You *may not place a Task tile* that would cause a territory, Track or Streams consist of *more* tiles *at the moment you place it* than the current Task marker requires. I've never played the app version, but I think the board game rules are pretty clear on this.
Was wondering how much the campaign is replayable? Do the tiles from the boxes have a certain indication to which box they belong? I mean, is it possible to start over and find the exact tiles that were in the boxes and put them back again so there is the feeling of new campaign with new group?

This is SUCH a good point and we couldn’t agree more. We do this all the time and it’s awesome being able to have folks hop in and out as needed

yes indeed you and many others have reminded us of this haha our bad
This is exactly what I need to watch on this sickness day. Thanks for sharing your positive energy! Dominika
Awww we got you. Feel better soon!

I love watching you guys play - lol my dream gaming buddies!!!! Rock on!
Hopefully we’ll get to play a game together someday!!
Cool game! Really great to see a simpler, co-op, tile-laying, campaign. I just ordered this, I'm really excited to play.
Wahoo! We hope you enjoy!
Its a good game, my wife and daughter are enjoying playing through the campaign with me, very chill.

Everyone says this game is crazy relaxing but I say when experienced players play with newbies it's the most stressful game ever made :P
Haha yeah I can see that. I think in this game especially it’s important if someone is experienced and playing with someone new, give them room to make their own choices rather than suggesting the optimal spot immediately
Nick & Mike, this game looks AWESOME. Thanks for that beginning, because I (Doolin) am immediately sold. Seems like you guys did pretty well too! :)
Hey Doolin! So glad you dug it! Definitely let us know how you like it when you try!
Ps. Not at all super jealous of the fun week you got to have with the Foster the meeple fam ;)
Excellent! I love the video game, thanks for helping me add too many games to my wish list 😄
You got it!

congratulations for the video! sorry what is the nuvoly card for? thanks
Been waiting for a playthough :D
I really wanted to pick this up at UK games expo last weekend, but I could only go on Sunday and it was sold out everywhere! 😢
Oh no!
guys did you take out 3 landscape tiles randomly and put them in the box before the 3 task tiles ?
We have no idea haha it’s been a while since filming
Dorf Romantic. By Tim Conway?
Was wondering how much the campaign is replayable? Do the tiles from the boxes have a certain indication to which box they belong? I mean, is it possible to start over and find the exact tiles that were in the boxes and put them back again so there is the feeling of new campaign with new group?
so each box that we've seen has a card showing it's contents in it so it should be easy enough to reset
You don’t have to start with 3 task tiles!
Difficult watch had to quit
Fun fact: it’s in fact possible to just move on from a video without telling us you quit. Not many people know about that feature on TH-cam!
