I’ve wanted this game ever since I learned that Uncle Iroh had a Card in it. It’s $90 on the company’s website right now! I needed to see a thoughtful, fair, intelligent review to make an informed decision. Thank you for providing one, sir!
Thanks Mike for a great review. I found the solo rules quite ambitious so I went hunting for someone to elaborate on them. You did a great job. I'm probably going to be playing solo more often than not and your explanations really helped give me a better understanding of how to make a better solo experience.
Could not agree with this more. I got so confused with the multiple solo mode options and when the Chaiwalla fulfils an order. In saying that, the competitive game against IRL friends is fun and the components & theme are awesome! Thanks for a great summary, Mike :)
Great video Mike. I really appreciate the solo player reviews. The camera / view / rules explanation, in fact all of this is fantastic. Just have the reference handy so you can see what the bitz are called. Appreciate the co op explanation too. A+! Great video. Thank you.
The multiplayer game rules leave things out too. We played our first game not making more than one purchase from the market because the rules did not say you could. And there was something else not clear as well, but I forget what it was now. Oh and I guess there are actually wild tiles in the deluxe, but the basic game references wild tiles, but there are none.
Just got my copy today and have to say….I am actually disappointed with the quality of this game. The insert is quality material, but doesn’t hold everything securely and I think they could have easily used a smaller box, not to mention that they don’t even give you any indication of how things are supposed to be packed. My metal coins were all loose in the box and the card and cardboard quality, as well as the screen printing on the plastic bits and dice….all mediocre at best. Very disappointed with all of this, considering the amount I paid for it in the KS.

I hope the developers heard these rules concerns and put out an updated rules books.

the one complaint we have is we really wish the card backs were slightly different between card types so they are easier to sort face down.
Hey Mike , great video again,but Where are your solo playthroughs.I love them.Did you stop doing them?
Great video Mike. I really appreciate the solo player reviews. The camera / view / rules explanation, in fact all of this is fantastic. Just have the reference handy so you can see what the bitz are called. Appreciate the co op explanation too. A+! Great video. Thank you.
I’m one of the blue cards! I did some promotion work for steeped games and they put me in the game.

So sad I missed the Kickstarter deluxe version. I didn’t know about it until recently.
Here you go steepedgames.com/collections/all
The expansion and deluxe edition are being Kickstarted atm too 🙂
Love your review about the chaiwala. I still dont understand when the chaiwala will fulfill an order. Who have the answer?
Nice review sir.
This looks fun. How do we get a copy for the regular and the deluxe versions?
Also, they have a kickstarter for game and an expansion, which began yesterday, and is already funded, so there's another option.

At around 4:32, it's a bowl of sugar.
