[@3MBG]

This ones on its way to me. Bookmarking this to revisit when it arrives

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hope you enjoy!

[@lukelu1748]

Would love to see a play through of this!

[@foxqc83]

One of my favorite games of the last weeks, thanks Rodney to help make it more popular!!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hey, glad you've been enjoying it!

[@kylek7668]

I remember the difficulty you had with this intro from watching on your personal channel. Haha I loved it! In all fairness both of those names are difficult; put them together and it's a tongue twisting monster!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Oh yes, this one was a challenge :)

[@FrankMinogue]

This looks really great! Another great job by Rodney the Wonderful, wearing the polo! I think this game is definitely going on the game list!!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for checking it out Frank!

[@FrankMinogue]

Watch It Played Always support you my friend. I am trying to figure out how to make it to GenCon so I can get a chance to meet you and play some games with you!!

[@joshbain8032]

Man I can't wait to get my hands on this one. Love the theme and the semi Co op aspect. Components look fantastic too

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@mydrynn]

just here for the temporary blue polo revival ;)

[@wegoofed3512]

Ha! What a crazy game! We are DEFINITELY going to have to try this one out. Thanks for the vid, Rodney!

[@WatchItPlayed]

You're very welcome!

[@cygnusvideo]

This game looks really fun !!!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@StyliansPerpsective]

this guy is so useful and detailed. thanks a lot!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Very kind of you to say - thanks for the nice comment!

[@Jurik]

Whoa nice!!!!!!

[@dimitriskokkos1369]

As always you are the best!!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you kindly!

[@goo3677]

Please make an episode about Spirit Island please, I love this channel!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for the kind words! kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5XXdaisfrqUbKM

[@makk191]

Hey man just like to say love the videos been really helpful. any chance you could do a top 10 board games?

[@WatchItPlayed]

I talk a bit about that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmGvp2uCfcaXg8U&t=10m55s

[@onepingonly1941]

Good vid. I wanted to confirm or deny that I understood the rulebook and set up. Good show!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you found this helpful!

[@SuikoRyos]

0:27 *Rodney:* Designed by _[insert name here]_ *Me:* _(random PTSD from all the takes about those names)_ Oooh, that was why this game sounded familiar. XD

[@WatchItPlayed]

Yeeep, this is that one :)

[@cartoon80s90s]

There is so much going on in this game. I am full right now with worker placement and I would probably ignore this if I saw it on the shelf, but if by some miracle it falls on my lap I'll be sure to try it out. Great review, Rodney.

[@WatchItPlayed]

You bet!

[@zazyman]

Wow, it was along time ago since you recorded this. I remember you struggling to say the names of the designers in your vlog!

[@TabletopGamesBlog]

What were those names again? ;) Thank you for another video and good-bye to the polo shirt. Maybe it can come out again on special occasions. :)

[@EmanuelsWorkbench]

Well, at least I get my name back "in lights" one last time :-)

[@karaokevideos5418]

Blue Polo shirt!! :D :D :D

[@michiel6789]

Hi Rodney. I'm building myself a board game table and I was wondering if you could tel me the material that your's is made out of ?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hey Michiel, I didn't build mine. I'm not sure.

[@freya002YT]

Seems like a cool game

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for checking it out Will!

[@pincao]

Nice Shirt Rodney ;)

[@WatchItPlayed]

*sigh* ;)

[@antonichristel6430]

It IS a good game. I know because i have it in my collection.

[@Anaoa_Official]

I have a fun idea for you Rodney: When you get to teach a game that has many tiebreakers but still has the possibility to tie at the end, instead of saying that the tied players share the victory, you sigh and say "You know what, the tied players flip a coin/die" or "The tied players do a thumb war" or "The tied players go into a fist fight (JK)" XD

[@WatchItPlayed]

I used to be against shared victories, but I actually like them a lot more now. I think if two players play to equally well, that after a few tie breakers, they are still tied - then they both deserve the win.

[@Anaoa_Official]

@@WatchItPlayed That's true! They fought very well and deserve to both feel good. It's like getting a draw in Chess!

[@freakincampers]

Where did you get the component holders? They look nice/

[@WatchItPlayed]

Those are from Dog Might Games.

[@Caleena1989]

Is there any engine building and/or commodity chain with the different buildings you can buy (similar to "Oh my Goods" or PC games like "Anno")?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Buildings that create one good in a particular round can then be used by other buildings to produce other goods in a later round.

[@Caleena1989]

Thank you for your very fast answer!

[@SlowDaddie]

I Survived the Great Blue Polo Shirt Confusion of 2019

[@johncrippen]

Great video, as usual! Unrelated to Crisis, who made those wooden bit trays?

[@johncrippen]

Found the answer below: Dog Might Games. Thanks!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad to see you found the answer :)

[@shlomaster1]

anyone know the release date? its not available for preorders at online gaming stores.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Keep an eye out in April!

[@michiel6789]

Rodney ma Boi !

[@SilverSnaken]

Does this mean that this game will reach general availability soon then? I came across this, what feels like, ages ago but could never find anywhere to buy it. Still looks like a lot of fun.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Kickstarter backers have their copies and then I believe we'll see copies releasing to retail in April!

[@manuelgardea9419]

Am I crazy, or had this episode already happened in the past? (It might be cool if I learned I can see the future thanks to Rodney!)

[@Ashebrethafe]

The makers of the game asked him to delay releasing this video because the release of the game was delayed. He also made a video about making this video, so that might be what you're remembering.

[@WatchItPlayed]

This is my first time publicly posting it (it was listed privately on BGG for a little while as well).

[@Stephen-Fox]

@@Ashebrethafe That explains the return of the polo and the lack of taking the box off the shelf...

[@wyz1324]

ooooh. So that is what the game im going to win looks like :P

[@WatchItPlayed]

Ha! Maybe, MAYBE!

[@wyz1324]

​@@WatchItPlayed It would be funny if I ended up winning :P but because of that comment you may want to do the draw in a live show :D

[@brianmyers13]

So jealous of your wood component trays. Are those from the Kickstarter?

[@WatchItPlayed]

They are from a company called Dog Might Games.

[@brianmyers13]

@@WatchItPlayed Yeah, I saw that. They are fulfilling their Kickstarter orders with non-Kickstarter expected to be delivered in 2020. Ouch. But thanks!

[@WatchItPlayed]

@@brianmyers13 Not sure where you heard 2020. I heard much sooner than that.

[@Uejji]

Rodney, Rodney! After all the progress we've made, why do you gotta backslide like this? (I'm just kidding. I saw the update video)

[@boothy128]

Hey! Please can you do Resident Evil 2 the board game?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hey Mike: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5XXdaisfrqUbKM&t=330

[@liampeterson8299]

you should play dice throne

[@cartoon80s90s]

I agree. It looks like a game both Rodney and Pip would enjoy.

[@Euphorazine23]

He has a Dice Throne video, it was pretty recent.

[@liampeterson8299]

@@Euphorazine23 yeah but actual playing not just rules

[@deerlyderby6967]

My sister saw me watching this video and got really upset. I said, “Don’t cry, sis!” :P

[@WatchItPlayed]

Oh dear...

[@samwooden6575]

hope i win 😎

[@maximilianberbechelov]

Designed by ... who now?

[@toweypat]

...some fine people!

[@WatchItPlayed]

This took some practice, and I'm still not sure I got it right!

[@H4J4T1]

Who's here from Rodney's recent tweet?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Huzzah - glad you're here :)
