Awesome run and great video thank you for sharing. Had a blast watching you play. Love the art of this game, but now its my turn wish me luck!

What if you force someone to get the win condition

Why would you ever not want to move up

Very helpful. Thx

Are you putting Dooku and Vader cards in the same hand and using one turn for both of them? You’re supposed to do them separately

They made an app already for the automa

play game of life for life

You need to learn a lot!

Question - Aren’t the gear cards supposed to get shuffled back into the gear deck at the end of each season?

Seeya!

Wow this video was so helpful. I am completely new to the board games beyond life, monopoly, etc. I watched another video on worker placement, but watching yours was better. It was like watching a friend talk right to me, and it was helpful how in depth you went into the basic concepts. Thank you so much for this. Favorited, and will be referencing again

The only mechanical problem I see with the game is the 1st player advantage. People have tried to house-rule solutions like a handicap, but this problem might just be innevitable with this kind of game structure.

Another Star Wars game comes to mind for me. Star Wars Outer Rim was really cool, but felt way longer than it needed to be for how simple of a game it was.

I just received my copy of the game, purchased after watching this video (I wanted an interesting game that has a good solitaire mode.) Great playthrough! Now, I have to watch this video a couple more times before playing the game. Thanks !

Thanks for the helpful video! Curious why at 12:56 you didn't take the 1850 card? You would have received the 11 points you were going for, and also another 4 points with the green token. Plus it would have continued your trek.

Good house rule for Small World. after revealing the starting races/attributes, the last player changes what order they're in (they keep the pairings, though). This way the first player doesn't luck into having a perfect combo for free.

Played my first game today, and got my butt handed to me by the AI. It was ugly. This game is nuts. I have no idea how you’re supposed to keep up with the bot lol

I just got this game and this helped me learn how to play!! Thank you so much!

Shave your neck!! Gross!!!!!

What if everyone had every good power at the same time

My wife and I have become obsessed with this game, having played 18 games in a row, which is unheard of in this house. Enjoyed your playthrough -really good score 👍🏼 I could sense you were itching to say more about what was in the boxes and you’re right, it’s the excitement of discovering something new and cool that drives you on to play more. 😄

gosh I suck at this game so bad

Should only refill the meadow after you're finished drawing cards from it, so when going into summer you shouldn't have had access to that Theater.

The game of life is only 4.4 in BGG haha

Would these solo rules work with a 2 player game as well?

My top ones are Everdell, Parks, Wingspan, Dixit, Mysterium, Trekking thru History, Planted, Canvas, Bonsai and Azul. 🧐 not sure what the order would be… 😁 And a shout out to Disney Villianous, for individualized character backgrounds and cards are so on point.

There's a few times in the video when you show multiple rows on the left containing tiles of the same color. How could this ever be possible? Like at 11:20 in the video, how could those 2 rows on the left both contain dark blue tiles?

Ooh this looks great and my kids would absolutely love this game. I love how it teaches strategies and teamwork to reach a goal. Great video, thankyou.

Oh my goodness! I've never seen most of these games in Australia and they are so fun looking! My kids and I love playing Shark Bite. You feed the shark the amount of fish you roll and hope the shark toy doesn't pop up and eat your fishing rod. It's so funny.

Amazing... I didn't know about that! Where can we find it? You say they give it for free? Awesome!!!

Very clear explanation! Ordered Azul on Prime Day deal today and excited to get it. I feel ready to play when it arrives!

Do I score all my wonders at the end or just the one's that are constructed?

thanks guys we watched the whole thing!

I have one that i just saw it

Hi BGP: Do you have guidelines for submitting a game for a playthrough/review? :)

More little mechanics that confused me. After watching a few times and playing through, I think I am starting to get it. I have only played solo and I would recommend playing with others first. There is alot to keep track of.

Thanks for sharing all this! I just posted my first how-to-play video, and I found your behind-the-scenes info very useful! I especially appreciated how you made use of stuff around the house you already had. And also your advice about getting good sound, which reminded me I had a lapel mic buried in one of my drawers.

Best explanation of the game; Wingspan is much better learnt with a playthrough! Thank you.

Firefly is one of my favorites, but it is indeed a long haul game!

If it plays under 3h its not a epic game. All games a like its at 4players and more than 3h and under 4h30

Axis and Allies™™ Mass maritime weekenders club: Days long!

Why you play Azul and Café then? I don't get it. If a game just feels to long with 4 players, just play with fewer then? Wish they were shorter with 4 players.... Eh?

For me, the long game I wouldn't actually change, but which I find regrettably long for the sake of difficulty getting to table, is Arkham Horror (2nd ed.). I know it is shaggy and inelegant, but I love it.

I wish you had made this video a lot shorter...

For a video about beautiful board games 97% of the video is two guys talking about games.

Full agree -- I love Scythe and adore Star Wars: Rebellion. Just a few things I'd tweak about the games. For Scythe, it's having an actual combat system instead of the combat being determined by card value + bid. That would make it longer, but it's just not satisfying to me fighting that way. For Rebellion, it's the wincon. The Empire's win con is perfect: Rebel base goes BOOOOOOM. For the Rebels, they just have to survive X turns and they shrink the timer on the Empire. Need to add something for the Rebels to accomplish in addition to surviving long enough: You must capture/kill Palpatine or Vader, or conquer Coruscant, or blow up a Death Star. Something to keep the game from becoming passive. Now, how to shorten the games? For Scythe, shortening it might be possible if all players started with an extra worker. Within the current rules, fastest I can figure out a win is with hyper military aggression as Saxony in a 3-player game to win by turn 20 or so. For Rebellion, adding cards that allow the Empire to force the Rebels' hand to engage in battle and it provides hints on the base location would certainly bring things to a head sooner. Or add a way the Empire to deny the base relocation cards.

Excelente review. Well explained, nice set-up and nice visuals. May I suggest review for both Pantheon and Agora expansions? Both solo and combined would be great. Keep up the good work.
