Long Shot: The Dice Game - Kickstarter Playthrough

[@garyfaust6769]

If I wanted to market a game, I would want you both to do the teach & play through! You know the rules and explain them clearly & concisely. The play through is entertaining without dragging. Only problem is I want to buy most games from your videos.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

LOL!!! Gary that is really really nice of you to say. We had a good time filming this one, so glad it showed!

[@jordanfranklin-garza849]

Just bought this game for a game night with my work friends, and your playthrough was super helpful. Was really cool to watch, thank you!

[@randalladkins7452]

28:34 - The barn in the concession bonus is gray because you can buy ANY horse for free, not just the one rolled. Same for the gray jersey and gray helmet rewards. Also why the free three dollar bet is gray and not marked with a color or the d8 symbol.

[@GIVEPAUSEhobby]

This made a really fun sounding game LOOK as fun as it sounds! Thanks for this great demo, you two. Awesome job as always :)

[@grahamglaser]

Way to bring this game to life! Y’all do such a great job of explaining the game rules and then showcasing the fun of games. Love watching your channel!

[@Tmaceda]

So happy to find this video. The concession part was so confusing from the rules. Thanks Guys! She is so cute.

[@aaronmoore4532]

So excited for this one! The original Longshot was the game that got my wife and I into the hobby.

[@jamesmorgan1967]

I saw this being reviewed online here and there so thought I'd take a look. Looks really fun! Could be that one large group game for my collection that everyone can participate in. Thanks for posting and better luck next time, Naveen!

[@jakwes9999]

31:44 Vin should have take concession twice because of finishing row and column

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Big boo boo on my part!

[@tbsmith918]

Loved the play-through. It was fun to watch... convinced me to back it. When our family gets together for game nights we usually have 6 to 8 people, so this would be great fun I think. Enjoyed the video immensely. You two are our favorites... always enjoyable and informative, always entertaining, always professional.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Hi Thomas, can't wait for those 6-8 in person plays again!! So glad the video was helpful, this is definitely a nice family friendly one. Thank you for your kind words! =)

[@benthompson754]

This looks like it would be as chaotic with 8 players as real horse racing! Great video, I was getting excited right along with you both! For someone who said they don't do good with betting games, Monique definitely played her bets right in this game. I'm definitely going to have to check out this game some more.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Yeah at 8 with everyone marking the different horses, it would get really wild! Monique did a great job eliminating horse #7!!

[@BBYROO5155]

Thanks for the play through. Made me buy the game! Going to be perfect for our game night.

[@maevalejeune5719]

The game looks awesome. Very well done. Thank you so much for making it so clear.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Glad you like it!

[@vishganti8302]

Wonderful Play through!!! This game seemed exciting, going to back this game ASAP.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Thank you!!

[@TheBoardDad]

I’m getting Cubitos + Downforce vibes from this one. Looks good. Thx for showing it to us!

[@GretSeat]

But better since cubitos is 4 players and DF is only 6

[@marina12345678911000]

Just bought it after watching your playthrough which was super helpful! Thank you a lot!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Thank you! Glad we could help!

[@kennethsantos5224]

Really great playthrough! Now I'm backing this.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

AWESOME!! Hope you will enjoy it!! 😃

[@jameskirk4692]

Great playthrough! Thank you!

[@GKEK]

Looks like CUBITOS at first glance, but definitely a HORSE RACE Roll and Write! Thank you for another great teach and playthrough. You guys make me want every game...

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Haha, similar because of the race theme. I'd say it's closer to Camel Up if you've played that game.

[@GKEK]

@@BeforeYouPlay The Cubitos comment was a snap judgement on the appearance, not the mechanics. 😅 Never played Camel Up but it's on my list for the kids shelf! I wonder if this is a better option.

[@Warriorking.1963]

This video just popped up in my recommendations, so I decided to watch it again. It really is very lifelike, right down to Vin, the owner of Better Safe Than Sorry (No7), trying to "nobble" his own horse! 😂

[@rontalkstabletop]

Thanks for the overview and playthrough!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

You're welcome!!

[@codyward8554]

Looks like fun. Thanks guys! Naveen, you missed a concession! 😮

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Oh I know!! Big mistake!!

[@ObviouslyCrap]

Truthfully, I was averse to viewing this because, yeah, rolling dice to simulate a horse race sounded like (luck)² - yawn. The simulation turned out to be brilliant and successfully conveyed the _feeling_ of routing for your horse(s) at the race track. Player betting and manipulation tactics (moving horses backwards :-D ) combine so well with the twist and turns resulting from the dice and the properties of the horses' cards. Really fun and suspenseful and challenging even with only two players! Looking forward to backing this. :-)

[@randalladkins7452]

37:06 - Final scores should have been 116 to 124. (12+48+6+6+24+20= 116).

[@veerchasm1]

Great video. This game is my next purchase

[@febryanrizqy1205]

Thank you for the playtrough, finally i can play it xiixix

[@TwoSheepOneWheat]

This game looks fun! Something easy enough I'd be able to get in during the day with kids roaming around 😁

[@dirtmike6258]

this game looks good ... thankx for the playthrough

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Thanks for checking it out Mike!

[@victorgonzalez2927]

I really like this game and feel the more the merrier!

[@orhan7255]

At 32:00 Naveen takes the bonus for finishing the line but not the column. Naveen has only taken 7 out of 8 bonuses till the end. With this last bonus he potentially could have gotten #1 which then finished 2nd place or pushed 2 horses back.

[@alexanderolferuk8496]

Just like in real life, horse racing is exciting, venturesome and meaningless 😄 The game captures all of that, nice playthrough!

[@chuckm1961]

24:30 Apparently the rules changed since this was filmed. In the final rules, I read that Free Bets CAN be placed on horses in the home stretch as long as you have checked off that horse jockey's cap.

[@alwaysplayblue]

Great teach video as always. I watched it yesterday and taught my girlfriend how to play last night. We really enjoyed this game. Plays great at just two. Only sad part was our horse number 8 just didn't move for the entire race. Poor thing. Wonder what will become of him? 🤔😆

[@caseys.7804]

I'm not a fan of roll and writes, but this looks amazing. I had to back it up!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Hope you enjoy it Casey!

[@laksamanakautsar1348]

guys can play it again please. it's so fun to watch this video

[@zivpesso6293]

This looks like a lot of fun, curious if you enjoy this or Ready Bet Set more.

[@thomasjulchristiansen8591]

It looks really fun! But it looked like there wasn't much to do in the end. Did you felt it missing some meaningful actions in the end?

[@tdubkickflic]

0:29:07 you used a wild to change the dice to a 3 so you could concession a three. then bought horse 2. since you changed the dice to a 3 are you only allowed to buy horse 3? loved the play through:)

[@ButOneThingIsNeedful]

BTW, ever done a video of top roll (or flip) & writes? Some candidates: Hadrian's Wall, Welcome to the Moon, Fleet: The Dice Game, The Clever Series, Long Shot, Cartographers, Three Sisters, Dinosaur Island: Rawr 'n Write, Isle of Cats: Explore & Draw, Next Station: London, Trails of Tucana, Railroad Ink, On Tour, Castles of Burgundy: The Dice Game, Silver & Gold

[@susanoerter1419]

Like all the options you can take.

[@Fighterfan69]

I'm not into horse racing but this looks interesting. Especially for the solo player that I saw on the Campaign page. Seems like there will be quite a lot of variety of horses for variablitiy.

[@pewp3wpew]

I like your videos!

[@TheAnalogKyd]

where did you get that rad rolling button tray pad thingy?

[@FarkyJ]

how the hell dod i miss KS on this.been hunting for winners circle or long shot for years.i have downforce.its ok but i really want something for the pub.now i need wait for the retail.

[@fialka7644]

Looks like fun

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Thanks for checking out our video!

[@machineFa8]

looks like a fun game

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Thanks for checking out the video!

[@doggyaugie]

thanks this looks fun! but I'm distracted by the arbitrary choice of the sequence of horse colors - clearly Roy G Biv did not do the art for this game

[@BeforeYouPlay]

HAHA maybe their next game will utilize PEMDAS!! ;-)

[@doggyaugie]

@@BeforeYouPlay only for the scoresheet, let's hope - I'll let you experts explain that one

[@budsticky]

Looked really fun at first, but seemed to drag on at the end. Still undecided on this one.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

That’s totally fair!

[@theSolemnBard]

26:15 Horse 4 should also move

[@arjunant9930]

Damn, looks like im gonna have to back this one too aha

[@Warriorking.1963]

Is it true the rules suggest not mixing the two different sets of cards, and if so, why?

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Hi! Great question! The rules actually say that yes, you can mix sets together, but if so, to only use one card per number.

[@jacobjslee]

I remembered you both doing a great job of explaining the rules in this video so I had to go back and watch it. The first time I watched it, I bought the game soon after. We played it a bunch and then it got shelved. I brought it out last weekend and we completely forgot the rules and were messing them up. The rules to the original game are so ingrained in me that I was mixing them up. We actually had to stop before we started because we couldn't get the rules straight (we played Deception: Murder in Hong Kong instead). I vowed to relearn the rules so we could play it next time. I got 'em now. The only thing I'm unsure of is if multiple people wanted to buy the same horse - I assume whoever is closest in clockwise order to the start player gets it, but I'll check. Thanks!

[@Yeral707]

Buen día, me podrían decir si saben si este juego saldrá en español. Les agradezco

[@user-sl4sx6dp4c]

how does it play at 2 player?

[@Asaloy]

28:12 Hä? You can choose any horse, it doesn't have to be the one the dice is showing. So if you rolled a 1 you can get horse number 8 for free if you like...

[@FernandoCanoG]

Camel up vibes

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Definitely!

[@Assie8911]

Really like the game,One question, can someone please explain in English what a concession is.English is not my native language but there are a lot of translations for the word.And that word seems important in the game. Thanks.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Hi! Thank you so much for asking. In the game, the concessions refers to a "concession stand" where you usually go to purchase food or merchandise at sports events or concerts. Although here it's just an area where you can collect bonuses. I hope that is helpful!

[@Assie8911]

@@BeforeYouPlay It is.Thanks alot.Love your channel.kind regards.

[@KMReviews]

Naveen coulda bought 1 with his last concession. He crossed off a row and column, and he only used one! He woulda bought 1 and got an extra $25 and won big time!

[@chrisbryant64]

Any thoughts on how it plays 2 player?

[@BeforeYouPlay]

We've played it at both 2 & 3 players. We've enjoyed our time at those player counts. 8 sound wild lol

[@chrisbryant64]

@@BeforeYouPlay Many thanks. Great video, as always!

[@brianamorales1018]

I’m confused please help! If I try to buy the game on KS it shows about pre order Feb 2022!? Does that mean I will get the game in 2022 not now when I buy it??
