Ecos: First Continent - How To Play

[@benleague3115]

We just got this game and it's always wonderful to have these videos! THANK YOU! :)

[@WatchItPlayed]

I hope you both have a great time playing :)

[@yovee5912]

You have a great way of explaining the rules of various games, and this one is no exception. Everything's clear and inviting to just grab the game and play. I got my copy today, so I will put my newly acquired knowledge to use :) Thanks for the well-thought, easy-to-follow and smooth rules presentation. Greetings from Poland!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you for the very kind and thoughtful comment Yovee - have a great time playing and greetings back from Canada :)

I just picked this up and I am really looking forward to playing it. It seems like a very enjoyable, relaxing game. I don't do a whole lot of heavy games, and upon opening the box, all the pieces give it the appearance of something greater than it actually is. The theme is also very appealing, something very positive and with a good vibe.

[@WatchItPlayed]

I hope you have a great time playing!

I wish this dude was my neighbor. Cool guy you could play board games and have a beer with. Great channel.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks :)

[@n20games52]

Oh, wow, this is very appealing. I love the card back design. For some reason, the game brought back memories of the game "Populous" which I played long ago on an Atari ST computer.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Woah, I haven’t thought of that game in a long while. I used to really like it!

[@n20games52]

@@WatchItPlayed Cool! The designer, Peter Molyneux, made many games I loved.

[@Mark-jagger]

I’d forgotten about Populous. That was one of my favourite games back in the day. Loved my Atari ST too. Thx for bringing back good memories. Great explanation too, Rodney. Noticed this game just came in at my FLGS. On my radar now.

[@n20games52]

@@Mark-jagger It really was a lot of fun and my Atari ST was such a great computer back in the day.

This video helped me decide to buy the game. Thanks Rodney! I got it in the mail yesterday.

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad it was helpful! Have a great time playing :)

[@stevepruneau6561]

I just bought Planet a few weeks ago, and now this looks super interesting.. Hmm! BTW, that oh-so-soothing box cover going down slowly removing the air.. Very relaxing! :D

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you like that little touch!

[@caitlinmay2595]

My family and I watched this video to help us learn how to play and it was SO helpful--thank you for taking the time to make it!

[@WatchItPlayed]

You're very welcome, I hope you all had a lovely time!

[@tonymcree1994]

Good to see that you remembered everything I taught you at Gen Con buddy. :)

[@WatchItPlayed]

See, I WAS paying attention :)

[@FrankMinogue]

I started this a while ago, and got interrupted. I totally forgot about it and then saw it today. It looks like a light fun game! I can see this eventually making the collection. My wife would like the terrain building and the animals. We are in sort of a slow down mode right now. (We did play Court of the Dead three times this weekend.... OH MY GOODNESS),

[@rodrigokabuto]

once again, thank you, Rodney. One more for my collection :)

[@WatchItPlayed]

You're very welcome - have a great time playing!

[@photodube]

Thanks for another great video.

[@WatchItPlayed]

You’re very welcome Richard. Glad you liked it!

[@rynmmiller]

Just two questions after watching... You mentioned that if you can't place a cube, you can move one from another card. If you do this, do you still rotate your dial? Also, can you place a mountain on a tile that already has a tree?

[@WatchItPlayed]

If you move a cube from one tile to another, you will not rotate your dial. You can place a mountain on a tile with a tree, but you'll find the rules for that covered in the video.

[@vinceclorto5451]

Well, it looks like a mix of the board games Augustus, Gaïa, and the old video game Populous. So I'm interested for 😁

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you liked checking it out!

[@ericsmith9212]

Great job of teaching Ecos. Your videos are very informative.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Very glad you enjoyed!

[@Dansport005]

Ah Rodney, thanks for what you do!

[@WatchItPlayed]

You're very welcome - glad you're enjoying!

[@forrest3491]

Wow! Just came across this channel earlier today and I’m hooked. Great explanations!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Great to have you here - so glad you're enjoying!

[@pierrewhite2062]

Thanks Mr Smith.

[@WatchItPlayed]

You're very welcome Mr. White!

[@diegoryan1954]

If any card resolve and have 4 leaves.. we resolve the card effect start from the top first? Or remove the cube first? Then rotate the card with 3 leaves on top

[@WatchItPlayed]

I shot this long enough ago, I don't recall what the video says (and don't have a copy f the game to check for you). Sorry I couldn't offer more help.

[@Lesspics1151]

Does harbinger rotate when you draw a wild tile or when somebody activates a card?

[@WatchItPlayed]

After a wild tile is drawn and resolved.

[@JackieFox1976]

Nice right to left hand box flip!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you kindly!

[@jwomlo]

@@WatchItPlayed How many takes did it take? 😉

[@WatchItPlayed]

@@jwomlo First time, every time, of course ;)

[@dansioui9819]

I got to demo this game at SHUX and I can’t stop thinking about it... sigh. Time to make room on the shelf! Great video Rodney! (As always)

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you kindly Dan!

[@Loutjee92]

Looks like a fun game! I'm pretty good in English, but is there also coming a version with the rules in Dutch?

[@WatchItPlayed]

I'm not sure - that would have to be a question for the publisher.

[@igcon4491]

Another great video.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you!

[@TheGameCrafter]

Rodney is the absolute best.

[@WatchItPlayed]

You're very kind - glad you enjoyed!

[@DanHudock]

I love your shelving for the games you have. Do you have the dimensions you could share?

[@WatchItPlayed]

I'm going to need to post those somewhere, I get asked that one quite a bit :)

[@jameskiang9222]

Darn you Rodney!!! Why do you have to show me games I want???

[@WatchItPlayed]

I’m sure I’ll cover a game you won’t like eventually :)

[@PowPresents]

I have the very same issue. It seems every time Rodney uploads, another game gets added to my wishlist. Surely it isn't just a coincidence. XD

[@viofla77]

Thanks Rodney. During the set up, do you mix in the two stacks also the cards of the players not in game? Thanks

[@WatchItPlayed]

Yep.

[@viofla77]

@@WatchItPlayed thanks

[@matto2971]

Well done. Thank you.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@mattlowder]

This game rustles my jimmies. So much so, that I paid a ridiculous $60 MSRP. Have faith in the Clair, rustler of jimmies.

[@WatchItPlayed]

I hope you have a fun time with it Matt!

[@mattlowder]

@@WatchItPlayed It's so, so fun. Excellent time!

[@MattyJude]

And that's one more rule book I can burn. Thank you Rodney!

[@WatchItPlayed]

We're all about promoting illiteracy around here!

Neat game

Thanks for checking it out Will!
