Just as painful to watch as I expected. Taking the 5$ instead of the X for that first sponsor action will haunt me forever as I didnt put Michiel on the Tarsier. Having the income and tempo from the double petting zoo animals really may have made the difference but of course it's hard to say. Remembering all my expert in herbivore triggers would have helped too. Well played all and congratulations, Andrew. -Nick

Very well played Nick! We have told Stanley to see his therapist before attempting to rewatch. Apparently he still has nightmares about you taking “his” Science Institute 😁
@phoenicksgaming11 ай бұрын
@NoWondersTV I can imagine. When he snapped the science museum I had already planned on grabbing the science Institute and then figured no one else would want to snap thr museum so it was sad for me to see him come at it from the other end

Anyone else feeling dizzy? Sorry about all the shaking. My guess is the top-down camera was attached to the table. Or they were playing on a cruise ship. Will have to verify with the players. Hope you all enjoy anyway, it was a lot of fun to commentate!

The cameras are iPhones on stands that could indeed be bumped by the table. Using iphones has something to do with the casino camera rules I've heard?

So glad you were able to make this. Very great quality video! Th pictures of the cards, and the analysis was so great. You and BDWSSBB gave the best strategic analysis I've seen from all of the WSBG videos. Seriously Tastosis level! Also good luck with the rest of the 7 Wonders Duel Pantheoner tournament. I can't believe you destroyed me in our match. I predicted a close game with you as the winner. Anyways, still feeling the sting from that loss. I guess I called it! First time we've played a tournament game. I was unlucky to be put on your side of the bracket.

1:18:12 Wow! Commentary from familiar game reviewers was enjoyable in their own right. Stuff like "I'm no good at this game unlike these players" "Stakes are high at WSBG! $25k!" "What is your favorite animal? (Ark Nova grand semifinals)" And then there is this: "Of the 10 maps they could have played, this map has the potential for 27 coins from this specific card of over 100 cards in the game" 😮 Such factoids don't come from your average board game reviewer KZbinr. You've highlighted a gap in the competetive board gaming world I didn't even know existed.

Great commentary guys on an interesting game! A nice feather in your caps. Congratulations to all the players making the finals and especially Andrew. Amazing what it took to get you in front of a camera! I think the mystery bribe was the unused 5/8CP bonus tokens? Obviously it worked ;) Sam if you’re not going over to play next year, then you may have to tell them that (redacted) is in South Texas to get a flight for the live commentary gig 😂

The craziest thing about this game is how Andrew won playing an extremely unorthodox game. Comboing Explorer + Migration Expert is huge brain. It was like the 3 other players were duking it out amongst each other, and Andrew was playing his own single player game. Feel so bad for stanley, Nick robbed him in broad daylight not once, but TWICE
@NoWondersTV11 ай бұрын
Playing his own game is the best way to describe what Andrew was doing 😁
@monkeyunit453311 ай бұрын
Explorer + release quite an obvious combo. I was surprised commentator mentioned not seeing it before. I have done it myself a couple of times, but not to the extend Andrew was able to pull it off here.

Pretty sure face down is correct. On BGA you have no information about the discard pile

Discard is supposed to be face up. No idea why they chose to alter the rules, when also playing map 0. Reason for it being face down on BGA is probably because of you have access to a lot of information in the logs?
