Love to see a Shem Philips game getting exposure! Out of curiosity, how do you decide what you make videos for?
@WatchItPlayed7 жыл бұрын
1. I have to like the game (I don't review on the channel, but the videos take too long to make, for me to feature one I don't like - and I answer all the comments on them, so it would be pretty hard to do that for years for a game I didn't care for :) ) 2. It has to be a good fit. Some games might be great, but I might not think they'd go well with my schedule, or present well on video. 3. The publisher expresses an interest in partnering with me to create the video. I work closely with the publisher to ensure we don't make any mistakes. #1 is the most important - if I don't have that, the other 2 factors don't matter.

The scoring isn't based on how many of each type. It's the size of the groups after you've made groups that only contain one of each type of animal. Also, he only had 3 pigs, not 4 and 2 chickens, not 3 if you're talking about 12:40

Once you've familiar with the game, how long does one player's turn take, start to finish? Four actions seems like a lot, and I can imagine some analysis paralysis trying to figure out an optimal combination of moves.
@WatchItPlayed7 жыл бұрын
I really hesitate to answer this sort of question. I find all players are so radically different. take 2 people who know the game really well and you'll have one time length, take two different players who know the game just as well, and it can be a totally different time length. Play styles are so particular to each person.
@RayPhay7 жыл бұрын
Great game to get added to your How to Play videos. So you now have 2 of the 3 games in this series covered. Now we just need you to cover Shipwrights of the North Sea to complete the trilogy. Then as an added bonus you can do The North Sea Rune saga that ties these 3 games together into one epic game. Please, please, please. :)

@abhishekmondal32752 жыл бұрын
Actually this question came in my mind, while you are explaning about the movement of the longship between the time slot, 5:05 to 5:30.Whether the longship can move to any adjacent connecting sea space , when it is at sea space of the main board at the harbour or art work of the main board or while doing the move action from any adjacent connecting sea space , it can move through the sea space located on the main board by the side of the mainland.

From the 12:49 mark up to the 13:09 mark...You show livestock scoring. According to my understanding of the scoring...You should have scored 11 points...but you say its 14 points. Please explain this to me because I am confused as to how you got that?!
@marcogronberg62097 жыл бұрын
You score sets of different animals, not sets with the same animal. First set containing pig, chicken, cow and sheep results 10 points, second set with pig and chicken results three points, and the last set with pig results one point. In total it is 14 points.
