The shortcut to play the game without reading the rulebook (hopefully🙏😍). Hope you enjoy it, me (Stella) and Tarrant love this game!

[@DesperadoBloo]

I appreciate you guys going the extra mile and covering the solo mode, I feel like most tutorials wouldn't have bothered. :)

[@MeepleUniversity]

Glad to hear it! Thank you for the visit 🙏

[@lisabaker9777]

Just picked this game up and this is a brilliant rules teach. Tarrant definitely has talent for teaching games. Thank you.

[@MeepleUniversity]

Hi Lisa! Thank you so much! Hope you enjoy this one too!

[@thecollins41]

Great video...this is the best "how-to" I've been able to locate for this game. Thank you!!!

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thank you for your kind words Jason 😍🙏

[@SunnyNeuroshima]

23:18 you should have scored 14 points for your Excitement track. Points are awarded for the bottom-most row where you have drawn at least one circle.

[@joshuajacobs7872]

Really good video. I can’t wait to get this game tomorrow 🙂 I was reading the rules and noticed two things that are different from your teach. Firstly, ‘Scoring Connected Buildings’ states that ‘buildings are only considered connected if there is an uninterrupted road between them’ (page 20). Secondly, to score excitement you only need to have at least one circle in a row to score it (page 18). P.S. I watched your Hadrian’s Wall teach and it was fantastic. Thank you.

[@MeepleUniversity]

Hi Joshua, thank you for your kind words. Yes have corrected that, thank you so much! :) Hope you enjoy the game!

[@Lateralite]

This is a fantastic How to Play. So clear and concise, really brilliant work. Every flows really well. Thanks so much

[@MeepleUniversity]

Hi Damien, thank you so much for your kind words!

[@TomTom-gx3ye]

This blows DiLisio's rules explanation out of the water. Probably the best i've seen on youtube.

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thank you for your kind words, we are humbled!

[@kmontzka]

Thank you for another clear how to video! I’ve heard great things about this one so glad to understand how it all works. Looks interesting

[@MeepleUniversity]

Hello Karl :) Thank you so much for your kind words. It is in our top games of 2021!

[@williamnickeas5788]

Looking forward to breaking this out today. Great run-through. Thank you! ❤️

[@MeepleUniversity]

Woot! Hope you enjoy it too! 🙏🙏

[@fizzy965]

Is the solo mode really difficult? That seemed like a lot of threat to gain in 1 dice roll with the AI. (I've only just discovered roll and writes and have bought a few basic ones to start with but I'd love to try this game out eventually. It looks really fun!)

[@guitarheroua]

Thank you for detailed rules explanaition!

[@MeepleUniversity]

Our pleasure 🙏

[@johnreynolds1076]

Hi there! Thanks for the great tutorial. I'm ready to start playing now. As I found the deluxe break room (at 22:38) a bit confusing I did some further research (rule dive) and there is a mistake in the scoring here. The "valid tour route" is wrong. Only uninterrupted roads can connect buildings. So it can not pass through another building. So for example, if the deluxe break room had 5 separate roads with 5 separate merch buildings directly attached to it, then it would count as 15 points. But right now, in this example in the video, only 3 points should be awarded as there is only 1 merch shop attached via an uninterrupted road to the break room.

[@MeepleUniversity]

Hi, John - yes, you are correct. We did make an error on the scoring there. Thanks for confirming.

[@johnreynolds1076]

@@MeepleUniversity Alright, thanks for confirming! Maybe it would be a good addition for the Klingon subtitles and the description of the video to ensure people score properly 🙂

[@kindredspiritm]

Great how-to-play video as always. At 14:59 do you gain 1 coin for each Food Stand (not 2 coin)?

[@whiskeygamesnerdstuff789]
