First Rat - GameNight! Se10 Ep22 - How to Play and Playthrough

[@damaddestgamer]

Classic episode, loved the game and the banter.

[@Warriorking.1963]

I've watched an awful lot of episodes of you guys playing games, and this is the first time you've played one I already own! First things first, my heart was shattered when Dave came out with "Ratstronauts". This is just like the sort of thing I would think of, but for once I missed it, so Dave gets to claim bragging rights for that one... RATS! ! ! Now, to be fair, you guys could make a 1.5 hour video playing Tic Tac Toe and make it look fun, but with this game, you had a super easy time, First Rat is absolutely brilliant. Everything about it is "cute", and yet the game takes a bit of thought and planning if a player is gonna have a chance of winning. My little game collection is in sore need of pruning, but First Rat is definitely not going to be leaving. As usual, brilliant video from you guys, and thanks for posting! 🐀🐀🐀

Great video - ordered the game as a result and loved my first play. Easy to play, quick, plenty of choices and depth, and fun theme!

[@vancer.8886]

This was a lot of fun to watch. I could see the different strategies being played out and at first I thought Lincoln was going to be the sure winner. Each player made amazing moves over and over that I eventually gave up trying to figure out what strategy was going to win. Great game night

[@DrCy616]

Watched this after a long day. Made me laugh and smile a lot. What a fun game! Can't wait to play it.

[@teejleague3838]

This is a game that caught me by surprise for how thinky it is. It is a neat theme too. I actually like rats, although I know most people don't. Pet rats can be extremely sensitive, affectionate pets.

[@the_luggage]

What a great game, thanks! Very enjoyable. Aaron was on a high for this one, hehe 😁

[@machineFa8]

Such a fun little game, I think the theme is just great

[@luigiscazzari4724]

" This is Mouse Control to Captain Tom " 🎤🎤🎤

[@johnstanton6473]

This game looks awesome! Ordering this one for sure!

[@christiansruiz4943]

omg love this, this one is going in to the collection

[@caseymcenelly3806]

I can remember my mother having a shirt exactly like Aaron's. It was in 1982, and I think she made it herself.

[@yianp9716]

I wasn’t initially interested in the game but was very impressed by the end. Great play through too!

[@Cappocchi]

Same for me, I would probably not pick this up on a shelf ("Silly" theme, lighter gameplay, just doesn't seem my cup of tea) but it is great. Game Night often introduces even us to things we had no idea we would enjoy.

[@Candyflames123]

Love the look of this so just ordered it! Thanks for another great video 💕

[@boardgamegeek]

Yay! Thank you! -Lincoln

[@saraann8140]

Lol - Vineger and baking soda is the rocket fuel - Love it 🤣 Looks like a fun and cute game - Will have to add this one to my collection 🥰

[@tomcrane9448]

I think you got through the game without saying you dirty rat once which should be more bonus points - there are so many ways to score on this game. Really enjoyed this episode love the ones with you 4 playing.

[@andreaschoembs1990]

Thank you, now I can't get that Kajagoogoo song out of my head - rats!

[@samrobinson2671]

Oh cool, you released the First Rat episode. Also that intro was fire, some tough names to pronounce in there and he nailed them

[@tfpp1]

27:21 - I can confirm that was indeed The Great Space Coaster. Holy $#!t that was an awesome reference! 😁

[@dkiprijanovski]

Lovely game, great video!

[@callingjourney8241]

This game look so fun thank you for a great game.

[@DanielHansen_Toulouse]

Are the drinks Rat Bull?

[@boardgamegeek]

That's perfect! They have to be. -Lincoln

[@nellgwenn]

Oh Rats. What a game. It's too cute.

[@jbuey2390]

Happy belated birthday Dave. Sorry I missed it by a week

[@AhJong0]

I’m ashamed to say I was really put off by the look of this game but played it the other night and it was a blast. A lovely production and pleasingly thinky game 😊

[@boardgamegeek]

Glad you enjoyed it. Nikki and I love it. Thanks for the note and for watching.-Lincoln

[@woodywilson5518]

Wow, The New Zoo Revue!!! Was that the show with the chuckle patch flowers that had jokes written on their petals? No gnus is good gnus with Gary Gnu.

[@CkDutchess]

I thought he was in Sesame Street 😂 Guess I was wrong

[@hamer4667]

The chuckle patch was on The Magic Garden, with Sherlock the squirrel. What fond memories

[@acemavrick]

Ok, first time posting a correction, but at 40:19 Dave brings out a new rat without passing the nursery, then later moves onto the apple core scoring track. I haven't seen the end to know if it helped him, but it stood out to me watching thus far. Still love watching you all - we all make mistakes.

[@acemavrick]

Ok, at 51:12 I see Dave bring out another rat, which I assume is part of finishing the track - probably missed it in the rules explanation. Sooooory.

[@Tokengesture]

Bonus for getting onto astronaut track

[@HansJoachimMaier]

Dave, you need to make rules videos. I love listening to you when you explain rules.

[@darrengrabe4179]

These are some smart rats...chemistry, math, physics, aerodynamics, etc.

[@boardgamegeek]

Well we are never really sure they actually make it off the ground! Thanks for the note and for watching. -Lincoln

[@adrianw4840]

the Game developer is like " damn, these guys broke the game, i am going to need to create an expansion!!! They filled up every possible spot. "

[@Revenant2023]

An expansion would be great

[@boardgamefangirl]

Anyone know where they got that storage box for the bits? TIA.

[@boardgamegeek]

Boardgame Fan Girl, that is one of the Gamegenic Token Silos. We love them. That one has several different colored removable trays, the rest that they offer have a single color of removable trays. Thanks for the note and for watching. -Lincoln

[@boardgamefangirl]

@@boardgamegeek Thanks so much!

[@Jskot311]

At 1:00:22 Lincoln takes 2 vinegar twice, but his light bulb was only at or in front of one of those spaces. Did he have an ability that caused him to take 4?

[@boardgamegeek]

Jskot311 I believe you are correct. I didn't look at it carefully but if that was what I was using to take extra resources I shouldn't have been able to take the extra one vinegar. Thanks for the note and for watching. -Lincoln

[@Jskot311]

@@boardgamegeek of course, thanks so much for the content, I love watching you guys!

[@monkeyunit4533]

In space no one can hear you squeek!

[@Cappocchi]

This should have been a tagline for the game!

[@iancarvalho8371]

Hey, congratulations. How can I see the top board games for you guys? Except Lincoln, cause I saw it at BGG.

[@silke2652]

This Game is very funny, greetings from Bavaria

[@popgas3821]

Just bought the game and would you know it, BGG has a game night ep for it 😂 and with classic four ❤. Other than the deceivingly thinky chunk it brings because of its cutesy art, Louhasen’s art design itself brought me to it 😅.

[@stevebratina8249]

Great playthrough, awesome game! That's a great little bit organizer that you're using there. Might I ask where is it from?

[@boardgamegeek]

Steve, that is the Token Silo from our sponsor Gamegenic. They are fantastic. Thanks for the note and for watching.-Lincoln

[@chrisjohnphillips6352]

Can I choose to just move one rat 1-5 spaces and then move the same rat 1-3 spaces? If so, could the one rat that moved twice, land on a color that is different from the other rat's current spaces on your team, since only the rats that are moved on that particular turn have to end up on the same color?

[@robertcrist6059]

It doesn't seem that you all stream the same game twice, but it would be neat to see you play this one more time with Dave doing his race to the end strategy again, while everyone else did something different; even mix in the special tiles. Perhaps Dave gets Neil straight to the end for 20 points, how do you overcome that?

[@danteshydratshirt2360]

Really point salad game - not my thing but you guys seemed to have fun with it. For me it seems unnecessarily "bitty" as if the designers had to keep adding little bits to it.anyway always good to see an upload

[@cikson1]

Fun fact: rats/mice will eat and enjoy cheese, like they enjoy other food types, but it's not they favorite food by any means.

[@robertcrist6059]

Not about this video, but do you have a playthrough of Power Grid on the channel? You have so many maps, but I don't believe I've seen you all play it.

[@Rose-xu6lq]

Does Dave has colour blindness?

[@boardgamegeek]

I don't think so but I should ask him. He does get color names wrong occasionally. Thanks for the note and for watching. -Lincoln

[@edwindrood2816]

The board looks so hard to visually distinguish. Even when pausing the video it was very hard to see for my eyeballs. Not a video fault.

[@RobotButlerJ]

First!

[@RobotButlerJ]

Finally finished the episode and it is so good!!! I am putting this on my buy list
