Fields of Arle Solo | Teach + Play Through | The Game Haus

[@SanjuroSan]

Amazing rules explanation.

[@dkoudrin]

Love this game, one of the better Uwe worker placements that integrates aspects of his other games very well. Nice showcase.

[@pbjellyfish6705]

Really liked this showcase, I always love a game where you can get an engine of some sort going.

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Heck yeah it’s satisfying for sure to go from almost nothing in the first round to a ton in the last

I’m a pathologist and was listening to this play through while looking at a colon biopsy, I guess that makes me a colon-ist. 😂

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Ayeeeeeee

[@bibleboardgames5199]

we need more games about peat while burning peat in the wood stove to get that nice warm feel and an earthy smell while playing! For newcomers I might start them with Agricola and if they love that then go for Fields of Arle.

Great job, good to see Nick won! Have you guys played with Tea and Trade? Such a nice expansion. Be interested to see you guys play Caverna Cave vs Cave (Age 1 and 2) after your last couple of Uwe's! The feeling of 'not getting anything done' is so common in this game, because a lot of times you're building your engine, but with such a short game (36 actions) it seems like any spent going to the workbench, or just grabbing resources doesn't seem to be moving forwards. But its great, love it! Much love, grats on the family

[@TheBrothersMurph]

We haven't played with the extension, our friend Steph Hodge said to not get it until we have really thoroughly played the base game, and we don't feel like we have yet. I'm sure some day we will pick it up though

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Agreed the game ramps up nicely at the end! And we haven’t tried the expansion yet but definitely plan to!

[@Retro_Care]

played it for the first time and took this video as explenation instead of reading the rules. I got 89 points but... the game took me almost 2 hours, mainly because i need to get familiar with the action spots and didnt want to make mistakes, this game is hard if you want to do everything very efficient i noticed :) I had so much fun playing it and reminded me a bit of the glass road but way more extended.

FYI at 13:09 top building (Saddlery) would be illegally placed since the dike wall is below it. (I understand the dike was moved for the show to demonstrate negative points, but wanted to point out for people learning the game).

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Good on ya

[@lexmartel]

The answer will be no BUT solo anachrony is super fun and could be really interesting. Arkham horror the card game/Lord of the ring the card game could be a fun solo too!

[@RatBastardDan]

4:12 - I'd like to point out the single cow that has been branded with Uwe's initials.

Yesssssssss

congrats to the new parents

[@NBKGametime]

Quick question for Mike... I'm trying to put together a database of content creators' top board games of all time (hope to publish it in August). I know you accidentally missed putting "Tzolk'in" and "Rajas of the Ganges: The Dice Game" into your last top 100 (you fixed that with "Underwater Cities" at the end of the Top 100 as 49.5). Where would Tzolk'in and Rajas Dice have come in? Thanks!

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Oh gosh good question! I’d pop tzolkin down to 45 and rajas dice 67. Cool idea making a database! We are doing our top games again at the end of the year so that’ll certainly shake things up for us once again

[@NBKGametime]

@@TheBrothersMurph LOL - your next Top 100 will go into my database for NEXT year. I've already tracked well over 300 lists from over 100 content creators, and I'm working now on incorporating the content creators' BGG ratings (I know y'all don't have any, so I'm working my way through your mini-reviews to figure out what games you've played that didn't make your top 100s). Then I've got to stick it in an Excel 3-D matrix so I can do an algorithm that will compare all the games to each other (I got the concept from Mitch Hawker's old Best Roller Coaster Poll). It's a shitton of work, and I had to cut off the lists somewhere (I went with 6/30/22). I'm sick in the head for attempting this. Anyway, thanks! I'll let you know when I've finished it.

[@danielkeim8558]

Oh man the video intro just makes me sad now. Buuuuttttt I've been wanting to play more Uwe games and this is up on that list!

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Yeah it’s bittersweet for sure. But we can at least remember it fondly as a great place to spend a day

[@shortydancer]

Why must you tempt us with those cool Gamehaus (RIP) pictures?

[@TheBrothersMurph]

We know…. We choose to honor a place that has a ton of importance to us even if it’s now bittersweet to see

[@dkoudrin]

Usually get around 100

[@evannadeau3938]

Is it worth getting if you have A Feast for Odin?

[@TheBrothersMurph]

They honestly aren't similar even slightly, so if it looks cool, it's worth getting. If you're worried it'll be too similar to AFFO, don't worry they're nothing alike

[@evannadeau3938]

@@TheBrothersMurph siiiiiick thank you!

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Interesting question. Obviously we do think so since we have both games haha. They are very different. The fact that fields of arle is a 2 player game is neat. You can build up an engine which isn’t something you do in feast. Feast has polyomino tiles. So they are both farming games that go about their business in different ways making them both great parts of our collection

[@evannadeau3938]

@@TheBrothersMurph reply from both brothers!? okay! thanks for the info guys. I heard AFFO was kind of a sum of a lot of Uwe games so I wasn't sure what other games of his to get so maybe Arle! I like a lot of the same games you guys do so I trust dat advice

[@smarcell97]

Cool game! Sad it's unavailable in EU, for a reasonable price :(

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Yeah :((

[@TheBrothersMurph]

Oh no!
