From the Moon - Kickstarter Playthrough

[@willboy334]

Naveens name pronunciations at the beginning was on point. I saw that smirk and containment. Nice work!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Took about 6-7 takes 😉.

[@ButOneThingIsNeedful]

@@BeforeYouPlay LOL😂 Humility to boot! I was thinking of the same compliment. Nice, Naveen (don't care how many takes).

[@sillyoox]

Got my Version today - thx for the amazing Video 🎉

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Yay, hope you enjoy!!

[@JJ_TheGreat]

This game looks awesome! First time viewer here! I do have to say, that you have the best gameplays in the industry - as you explain everything you are doing along the way! Thank you!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Thanks for the kind words, hope you found the video fun and helpful! 😀

[@svenjordan2647]

Again a pretty good video. I'm always glad to see, that you're making a video to a kickstarter I'm interested in.

[@Berndr]

I just received my copy today, it was hard to learn it via the rule book , but your video made it easy thanks ...

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Heck yeah! So glad we could help out! Just be aware that this was still a prototype so some tweaks may have been made.

[@Berndr]

@@BeforeYouPlay Yeah I noticed, but the changes are very small ...for example, the final version has an actual picture on the player board showing how to place foundation tiles for the research! thanks

[@dragosdominiosp]

Love this couple :) Thank you guys!

[@CB-yh3db]

Naveen did Monique so dirty and undercut her and took that “water job”. However, due to a slight ‘oversight’ Naveen lost……..Karma? I dunno. Lol. Totally kidding, love this video, I watched this video twice. I am backing the game and this video is the reason why. So many good options in watching tabletop gaming content. Lots of awesome couples too.

[@crocko33]

Thanks for the succinct teach!!

[@alexblake5828]

Great play through. I backed this and glad I did. Giving vibes or Anachrony, Barrage, on Mars and Scythe. All games that have fun mechanics.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Thank you! Sounds like we have similar gaming tastes

[@boardgamemusic]

Thank you for the detailed insights! Appreciate it!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Our pleasure, thanks for watching!

[@JJ_TheGreat]

54:48 Wow! That ability seems so overpowered! 😉

[@roseability86]

Monique - just discovered you're a killer vocalist and can play ukelele and guitar! No end to your talents! Great video guys!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Awwww haha thank you so much!

[@JJ_TheGreat]

38:01 And Naveen is back in the game now! 😉

[@JJ_TheGreat]

29:09 So what happens if you are unable to feed your astronauts? Thanks.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

You lose 3 points as per the prototype rules.

[@josephbehar573]

This gave me a serious Anachrony vibe, at least in the beginning. Miniatures with backpacks to put marker in them - a feature not used very often. But the rest of the mechanisms / gameplay seem simpler and more streamlined here. Very interested to try it.

[@teejleague3838]

Thanks for this!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

You’re welcome!!

[@avivmetz7544]

This looks really fun! Thanks for the playthrough - it's concise and clear. I looked at the rules and was slightly disappointed to see that there are only 4 factions and some other options for randomization aren't that robust, which is a shame. The framework looks really fun and deep.

[@alexblake5828]

The Kickstarter has now unlocked 2 more factions as of this comment and I would imagine more are planned.

[@brianbaker3731]

You may have covered this at some point so not sure if I missed it… is there any opportunity to rearrange your astronauts between the three rovers?

[@BeforeYouPlay]

No, once the astronauts are placed you cannot rearrange them

[@CB-yh3db]

I’m so spoiled. I hope the cubes are upgraded to something a little bit more thematic. The cubes are so functional, but I have some tokens with actual metal so perhaps I will swap these out. They are a bit larger than the cubes but it will make me feel more immersed in the building a colony/working on the moon.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Yeah we aren’t too sure what the final production will look like. Realistic resources would be awesome!

[@victor28lee]

38:05 Naveen forgot to take a wild resource for his workers faction ability, and also does taking the lab on the second row cost 1 more energy? so it wld cost 3 not 2 to take the lab that Naveen took?

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Yeah Naveen forgot about his faction ability a couple of times. In terms of the lab tile, when taking a “special research action” after making a part improvement, you don’t have to pay the extra energy.

[@Skycroft1000]

Naveen might have won if Monique hadn't cheated with not removing her specialized workers. I will say it was a lot closer than I thought. Thanks for the playthrough! An interesting game all round.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Lol yeah, Naveen definitely would have had a closer shot. We didn’t get a proper clarification on that symbol until after filming, unfortunately!

[@georgeresso6835]

just got my copy today...its amazing...and the solo mode is super sadistic....i luv it...uwe would be proud....lol! multi-player lose 3 vp for each unfed astronaut...solo mode just lose....so great....10 out of 10! loved the playthrough.......

[@CB-yh3db]

Question: What was the one thing that made me back this campaign? Answer (for me): Asymmetric powers? The way that Monique leaned into the “Cylons” really made me want to play this game? I was like, “Wait so she doesn’t have to feed her people?” “But wait, it’s hard to recruit more and she needs metal/alloy to make more workers?” I will also say, I just got finished playing “Solar Sphere” with my significant other and that put me in the sci-fi pioneer/worker placement mode.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

So glad we helped showcase the game!!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

From our understanding there are several asymmetric factions too.

[@octavus4858]

you can see how certain mechanics desperately look for novelty -put working meeples into working meeples etc.

[@TheMperor5]

Anachrony did that before 😋

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Gotta do something 🤪

[@user-tq8mu4vy2m]

Great playthrough! Think Naveen would have won if he had used his special abilities more! 😂 But great job both!

[@TotallyBoard]

Hello! Would you be able to share what you use to get the top down view? I am making videos, but don't have a way to get those shots yet. Thank you!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

We use a Panasonic GH5 for the top-down. It can record continuously, which is the biggest plus

[@TotallyBoard]

@@BeforeYouPlay Thank you for the reply! I should've clarified: Do you use a C Stand to mount the camera or have some kind of arm mount? It looks fantastic!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

@@TotallyBoard oh haha sorry! Yes, we use a C-stand. Highly recommend! It’s very sturdy and mobile for making adjustments

[@TotallyBoard]

@@BeforeYouPlay just bought one :) thank you so much for the reply!

[@teejleague3838]

Naveen's shirt is gorgeous.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Thank you so much!!

[@coyotemoon722]

Naveen's gorgeous.

[@teejleague3838]

@@coyotemoon722 Yeah, not gonna lie, you have something there. XD

[@ZoidbergForPresident]

00:00:06 fyi it's prononced "yo-an", don't worry the error is made in french too. ;) 00:03:13 What?! But isn't the moon made of cheese?!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Oh thank you for that pronunciation correction. We struggle with that sometimes! And LOL yes, how could they forget the cheese moon?!

[@ButOneThingIsNeedful]

Not that similar in plot, but an old, forgotten sci-fi novel this game recalled to mind: First Men in the Moon (1901) by H.G. Wells.🚀

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Ooooh HG Wells! Definitely intrigued

[@damaddestgamer]

The Cylons special ability just seemed way OP compared to Naveens. Other than that good game 😀

[@BeforeYouPlay]

No need to feed!! 🌱

[@booklover2285]

Will this be available retail or just on Kickstarter?

[@PRC533]

Looks like they will have some retail partners in France. They haven't indicated one way or another about other retail options though.

[@Krashwire]

While hexagons are the bestagons, those are octogons...

[@PRC533]

This is a game that is normally right in my wheelhouse. Unfortunately the quoted shipping to me is half the price of the game :(

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Ahhhh that shipping!! We wish it weren’t that way =/
