Game in a Nutshell - Lacrimosa (how to play)

Clarifications to the rules, if needed:
@2:30 The period bonus tiles should be face down (reward hidden). Here only era 1 is face down.
@19:50 You MUST place the neutral token, as long as there is space in the movement. If it happens to be full, then the token is lost.
@23:25 Tiles are refilled in the order indicated by the number on the top left of each space.
Another small errata which was clarified in BGG but is not clear in the rules: The cards market is refilled only until the end of the turn, not after every action.

This is how you do a proper teach. Please Devir, if you're reading, just pay Nithrania the money to do an official rule videos for all your complex games.

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

I second your request. 😄

[@PamWD]

Definitely agree! My husband and I always come to this channel when looking for a how-to-play video.

[@aliplaysalotro]

+1. Branislav's tutorials are miles better than those of Devir.

[@thomasrobb1398]

Found this game on the internet. Wanted to see how it plays, and sure enough, Game in a Nutshell has a video about it. Once again, another superb teaching tool! You can count on Game in a Nutshell to teach you the game - with emphasis on SEEING the game and its parts, rather than watching the person making the video. Keep up the good work!

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

Thank you Thomas! :)

Hi Branislav, amazing work as always, thank you so much! A few small remarks: @2:30 The period bonus tiles should be face down (reward hidden). Here only era 1 is face down. @19:50 You MUST place the neutral token, as long as there is space in the movement. If it happens to be full, then the token is lost. @23:25 Tiles are refilled in the order indicated by the number on the top left of each space. Another small errata which was clarified in BGG but is not clear in the rules: The cards market is refilled only until the end of the turn, not after every action. This is relevant if the player can get two cards in a single turn, for example when playing a card with both "Document memories" and "Commission an opus" actions.

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

Thank you Juan, I'll put it to the description of the video tomorrow. :)

[@meshuganater]

Branislav, you are a true professional. Ever since I first stumbled upon one of your videos, if I have a new game to teach, I come to you, and its always better than reading the rulebook alone.

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

Thank you so much for your kind words. ☺️

[@paulnewsham]

Very clear GiaN- thank you. I'm excited for this. Superb gameplay, artwork, theme and components. Looks top-tier and I'm expecting it to be a hit.

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

Thanks! We already played it and I like it a lot! :)

[@PaoloKoladze]

Branislav, thanks for your how to play. Have already played two times this game and really enjoyed

[@sebastienv.4639]

Great job, this one was particulary needed. Thanks !

[@stephanieyves5860]

Thank you! I was waiting for this one 🙂

[@patrickotoole6115]

Excellent video as usual!

[@wunderkammer-music]

I say this on behalf of any board games lover who is also a classical music lover: not the game we deserve, but the game we needed.

[@Dwiggy4444]

Excellent rules explanation! Thank you!!

[@Carsten_de_1981]

Pre-ordered that game. Thanks for the video!

[@martinbutcher37]

Excellent. Looking forward to trying this one once it becomes readily available

[@MrTroxel]

I really appreciate you making this video because I was very confused how the Constanze cards were incorporated

[@fenirob]

Great job. It's my go-to every time.

[@DonTinker]

This tutorial is amazing, really well explained, the pace is really good and I think I understood everything, because it's a lot. I got this game a few days ago and I'm hoping to play it soon, thank you!😊

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

Thank you. ☺️

[@simicsigacica]

Excellent rules explanation, as always! I don't need the rulebook :) Thank you! :)

[@HendrikBreuer]

Thanks! Much better than game's English rules.

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

Thank you. ☺️

[@propagandapanda69]

Great video, thank you very much.

[@zacharyloke61]

Darn, if only you released this yesterday! I just played Lacrimosa today and learning the rules would have been much quicker if we could have watched your video :(

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

Apologies, I'm doing my best. ☺️

[@ParlorPunch]

great job!! thank you

[@TheBrokenMeeple]

Nice! This will help me tonight!

[@saito6415]

will you be releasing a review of it? :)

[@TheBrokenMeeple]

@@saito6415 It's airing tonight 😉👍

[@pldevlin]

Another excellent video Branislav. Thank you for your continued efforts.

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

Thank you. :)

[@xWilcoXx]

Well done

[@69robtaylor]

Nice. Next, to get it to the table.

[@jancibaci007]

OK this looks much better than Revive...I will wait for gameplay.

[@johnwheeler6839]

So much hype around Revive. Watched a vid of it for 5 min and it put me to sleep.

[@knolzus]

Thank you so much

[@foadsharifian9053]

Hello Mr. Berec, I have a question about the issue that you teach on 11:35 . Please assume the rare case situation as follows: A player has 4 composition (White) story points. He plays a card that give him 1 composition story point and 1 ducat as bonus as well as a Requiem action. If he gains the bonus first, the composition story point convert to 1 ducat. So in order to avoid it to save his 4 composition story points could he does the Requiem action first (for example, pay 1 composition story point to buy a composer tile) and then gain the bonus of that card?

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

Hello, yes, you can take them in the order you prefer. So you can take the actions first and then get the bonus afterwards.

[@gertdelen5993]

09:16 ; don't forget to also take 'income' from the bottom part of your player board after resetting it to zero and before you remove all memory cards. We forgot this the first round of our first game. And you didn't mentioned it either here. It is mentioned later in the maintenance phase however. Great video btw.

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

Thanks! Yes, the overview section is just... a quick overview.

[@jonathanbaxter4283]

I would gladly pay money for you to make a video for several games in my collection

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

Thank you. ☺️ I wish I had a time for that. 😊 Which games would it be? 🙂

[@Filip-pd2iw]

Hoj nechystáte i v CZ ? 🥶

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

Ahoj, vyzerá to zatiaľ tak, že nie.

[@zilvinaskrivka3744]

Thanks. This rulebook not good at all.
