Futuropia - A Gaming Rules! review

[@gregbroxterman]

Another great video. I liked how you described your plays so far and projected how you guessed you’d feel about it after future plays, gives a real strong sense of how it plays and what makes it fun. Most reviewers only add “I will [not] play this a lot more”. Bravo.

Paul! I love everything you do! Great Videos! Many Greetings from Germany!

[@GamingRulesVideos]

Thanks.

Thank you for the video and it's great to see Cammie again. :)

I can't really add anything, I think we're in agreement :D (Actually, in mine I forgot to mention all the moving around when you replace a generator, what a pain! Will probably just leave gaps as you say in future)

[@GamingRulesVideos]

yeah. that way, the rule of "only 1 person per vertical column" works much easier.

After my first play, and then seeing this, I am surprised to find you liked it a lot. I found it extremely boring, just repeating the same, obvious, actions over and over until the game ended. I am intrigued to find out what rules you played wrong the first time, to see if we did that as well, and to see if I find more enjoyment in the game the next time I play. I sent you a message on Facebook! Anyways, thanks for the review :D Talk to you soon!

paul, if you remember, what was the big mistake you made on your first play?

[@GamingRulesVideos]

I do remember - and it's down to the rulebook. It was where it said you cannot have more than 5 unoccupied spaces. And then it also defines a space where there is someone below working as unoccupied too. What it MEANS is: no more than 5 spaces that dont have someone in it (or below it) - i.e. so you can't just buy lots of empty housing. Also - top tip - and this is from EVERYONE I know and not just me. Do NOT slide the generators to the left when you remove them or buy a new one, it just completely messes up all your organisation. Happy to help more - just give me a prod on messenger.

@@GamingRulesVideos ah, yeah there are some wooly word-isms here. my problem was the changing definition of 'stacks' :)

[@NorthernerInSpace]

Oh blimey! Looks like another game goes on the wishlist! I hate paper money too!

[@n1xcamic]

Do you remember what the confusing points in the rules were?

[@FakeAccount-bc1wf]

Is this THAT much different from Factory Manager?

[@GamingRulesVideos]

There are similarities, but I've not played FM in a couple of years. I don't remember liking it as much as this one.
