[@Spudkitty513]

Just a shout out to BGG for doing complete game playthroughs. It takes a lot of effort and time to film and edit a 2+ hour video. It is so helpful (and fun!) to sit back and watch an entire game being played and then discussed by the participants. Very nice work ... can't wait more like this!

[@michaelholland7392]

I believe Dave errors at the start. Each player does not start with eight cards. In a 4-player game, the player going first only gets 5 cards, 2nd gets 6, 3rd gets 7, and last gets 8.

[@KurtDepner]

absolutely right. I noticed that too.

[@hanajurakova1285]

how is it when you play with 2, 3 players, the first one always starts with 5 cards in hand?

[@VisualBrit]

@AB Its to balance out the game, if you go first you can place your worker anywhere because all the locations are open so you get the best location. If you are going last most of the good locations will be filled up by the time its your turn so you get some extra cards to start with to make it fair. =)

[@Zaloomination]

Cannot thank you enough for these videos! I don’t know about other people, but sometimes paper rules just aren’t good enough for me to learn a game 😰 And after watching this I think I’ll be able to explain it to my friends so we can play together!

[@popgas3821]

Same here 😭. It looks pretty simple and cute but from the reviews I’ve heard it’s pretty thick and very strategic. Love that aspect of the game and can’t wait to share it with my friends.

Love the videos! I always feel better making a decisions regarding whether or not to purchase a game after watching your videos. I also have to give a shout out to Dave! It’s amazing that’s he’s so able to learn the rules and then clearly and succinctly teach each game.

[@MarcoGrandia]

yes! I was scanning the comments to see if someone was also impressed by dave's ability to know the rules so well (of a game he never played)

[@JohnnyLeyenda]

@AB I'm sorry to hear that, and you should definitely start a movement! I live very close in Chile and here the board game scene absolutely exploded around 5-6 years ago, now it's incredibly popular. You should definitely look for other fans and start giving games more visibility!

My wife and I picked this up today. Played 3 games!! It was great. And your video was soooo helpful! we listened to the instructions and then listened and to your gameplay while playing ours lol

Glad we could help!-Lincoln

[@jchangesqlawcenter]

GREAT rules explanation. Thanks!

[@MeepleUniversity]

Great video, thanks guys! Love the card holders :)

[@hobgoblin80]

So glad to see you guys play my favourite game. Have put in so many hours on this over the past few months and never get bored. Also really good to see that even the pros mix up twig/stick/wood and stone/pebble 😉

[@hanajurakova1285]

When preparing for the summer, you draw 2 cards from the meadow, my question is, does the first drawn card gets replenished immediately to choose from 8 cards, or does it stay empty until you draw your second card?

[@hobgoblin80]

@@hanajurakova1285 I believe the rules state you take two cards before replenishing the meadow. Although you could introduce house rules if you liked. We have one that says the meadow cannot have more than one of each card, so if a duplicate is pulled when replenishing it is immediately discarded and replaced. Keeps the game a bit more interesting, especially when targeting those Farmer's Wives!

[@Geert-1988]

For some reason we couldn't get this game to the table for over a year, without even playing it. We couldnt understand it strangely enough. We played our first game today and it's pretty easy 🤣

[@VikingKittens]

Finally got my copy of Everdell and this video really helped me understand how many of the cards worked! Thanks and keep these video coming! Bravo

[@nailee7428]

I love Nikki's shirt. Firefly is my all time favorite TV show and that hidden "Shiny" word is just gorgeous. Also... Everdell is just so adorable.

[@adobo1976]

Thank you. This video filled in some of the gaps.

[@Keiniti]

Amazing art direction on this board! Wanna play it already just by looking it.

[@evatar4052]

Another great playthrough, Loooove Nicky's shirt. Keep flying.

Love this channel, thanks to you guys I now have this game, 2/3 expansions, I love it!

[@scotiachan1584]

This is the best explanation video ever I’m trying to introduce this game to my friends but suffering how to organise the game mechanism to them clearly This video definitely helps I can sense the host passion and patience to games and the rulebook. God! This game costs 30 minutes for the introduction. Who knews if my friends would be patient 😂enough to listen to. Wish they would.

[@F4R207]

I (we) made so many small little faults when we played this the other day. That said I really liked it and need to acquire my own copy of it.

[@zottleporcupine8722]

Great explanation and I enjoyed watching it. Have now bought this game for my eldest daughter for Christmas -(can’t wait to play it!)

[@boardgamegeek]

Hope you enjoy it!-Lincoln

[@zottleporcupine8722]

@@boardgamegeek - we all love it. Our favourite game!

[@kerred]

For anyone in the US, best contact the publisher to find out when the reprint will be. They sold out very quickly and local game stores most likely ran out in a day or a week from its first publication last month. The correct retail price should only be $60 MSRP if you are lucky enough to find it at that price.

[@GirlyGamer-BoardGameGran]

That is a LOT of locations! There was so much going on during that game, I think my main groups head would explode. Also not being able to read the cards... not great for us older gamers whose eyes are perhaps not what they once were. Like Nikki I do love the theme and overall look of it though. Another great video guys, thanks for all the effort.

[@Syncopator]

Yeah, I agree-- looks like some nice mechanisms, but tiny text on the cards is a show stopper.

[@gomeettupoc50cent]

Magnifying glass...

[@TheShapingSickness]

I played with casuals and they pick up on the game super quick. Sure they can't exploit every single mechanism from the get go but everyone is excited to continue playing and learning more.

[@Jin-Ro]

If you can't read them then you need an optician. Not kidding. I can't read them unless I have my reading glasses on. All good then.

[@malixcorvin777]

I just want to say that I love Nikki’s shirt!

[@TorSverre]

Haha, wanted to say the same thing! Firefly

[@TorSverre]

@AB "SHINY", with the letters made up of different characters from the show.

[@alicia1465]

We have played this one twice so far. Our first play felt a bit clunky, with a need to check the rules (and we had some wrong). Our second play went much better once we were familiar with the card typed and events, and the overall flow. I think tableau builders often take a game or two to get into the rhythm. We love it now, and it will see a ton of plays. Also, we used our BGG Store trays, and they worked wonderfully with the game!

[@Lucklaran]

Thanks for the playthrough. Convinced me to buy the game for the fam.

[@401files4]

If I have a critter do I get the matching construction for free or is only it the other way around ?

[@karldoughty7996]

I really enjoy watching you guys play, but I can't help thinking it would be better if everyone was familiar with the game before recording. Dave could still explain the rules for first timers, but there would be fewer mistakes during gameplay. Don't stop though 😊

[@karldoughty7996]

@@Big_Dai With all the mistakes, apparently not.

[@ThatOneGingerDude]

That's one of my biggest complaints with most board game playthroughs on youtube. I'd like to see what the game would be like if everyone playing it was a bit more seasoned with 2 or 3 games already played as it'd help show a more realistic pace on repeat plays, not just the initial play which would understandably be longer.

[@tsimpkins43228]

Dave, thanks for teaching me Everdell. I am still not certain about this game. I have debated getting this game but just can pull the trigger. I think I may just need to go to a game day with someone who has it and try it out. However, the game is beautiful

So, if you get a berry (if you have the Shopkeeper) in your city, each time you build a critter, does the same hold true for the judge.. do you get to play his action each time you build a new critter or construction?

[@maffyl822]

Yes. Any Blue Governance card (cards with the scroll logo) can be activated anytime throughout the game. Some have indications though that “May not be used with any other card-playing ability”. For example, if you used the Judge, you cannot activate it together with the Innkeeper or the Crane in your city. But you can definitely activate the Judge and Shopkeeper in the same turn (If you have both in your city).
