Pretty excited for this one.. minus the way lucky duck treats Canadian backers. Appreciate your thoughts on this one!

[@ChrisRichardsonwtfgamer]

@31:37 You claimed only the sides of tiles must be matched. On page 11 it states, "All adjacent pairs of tile sides must have matching Terrain sides". Only the outer tiles of the 4x4 grid have irrelevant sides that touch nothing. When placing an inner tile, all 4 sides must properly match Terrain.

[@timbe7979]

Yep seems like a big misplay

[@FutureCadaver]

Yeah, it’s a big rule mistake there

[@Linnir]

Thanks for another very helpful video. Random and totally off topic, but I found funny was at times it appears you have huge earrings from the box art behind you. So many stickers, it seems hard to reset. However maybe this is not necessary? Replayability?

[@Keldroc]

There are recharge packs but yeah it would be a job. The Pandora's box expansion leaves all the stickers in place except the ones on the dice. And if you have the replacement dice pack you don't even need to do that, just use the replacements.
