Glen More 2 Chronicles - Playthrough & Review

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Have you played the original? Or have you tried any of the chronicles? Which is your favorite?

[@joshtaylor6137]

It's one of those games I told myself I'd love. I've seen 3 playthroughs of it now, and I still think it's really cool. Played Lunartchitects (apparently a near clone) twice, and both times came away wanting more. Maybe Glen More?

[@BeforeYouPlay]

@@joshtaylor6137 LOL i see what you did there! We actually haven't heard of that one but from reading about it just now, it does sound pretty similar. I'd be curious to hear a comparison

[@Nain1982]

I have played both. So far we have tried 3 chronicles. I enjoy the base game alone. Chronicles the only one we've enjoyed so far is the River boat one.

[@damaddestgamer]

Played the original at least 50 times and love it. Wasn't particularly enthused by the look of the 2nd game or what the Chronicles offer.

[@drbasseri]

Yall are my new favorite online review and rules people!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Thank you so much!

[@richardhancock1505]

Love watching you guys. Honest, informative, reflective and- d for the viewer- relaxing! Thanks again. Great to see so many positive comments on your videos too. I think you bring a great balance between you regarding your strengths and interests.

Stumbled on this video when I searched for Glen more II. Game looks great I just ordered it. You guys are doing a really good job, I will come back for more!

[@samiamagaimagain]

Monique (hope I spelled that right), you are my new favorite board game youtuber! You could even say, "It's the die's turn" without a "grammar" mistake. As a language teacher, that makes me so happy! :p

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Dats realy sweat uv u 2 say! hahaha. Thank you for being a teacher, we both have a very high admiration for all you do. :-)

[@bcmboardgames2688]

This game is now o my wishlist thanks to the both of you.

[@boardgamemusic]

Came across this video because I want to make an ambience video for it. Helped me a lot. Thank you 🙂

[@Mark.N.]

Great translation of the rules the game. Fantastic gameplay with re-translation of the rules. And everything became clear and simple. Thank you very much and best regards from Poland. You are the best !! :)

[@sharonlee9285]

Played this game for the first time this weekend and we absolutely loved it! Watched your play through again to check on some rule issues that we weren’t sure about 🙂 very helpful as always. I managed to pickup the landmark in the final round that activated everything and it was awesome!!

[@kimmosorsamo2207]

Thanks for a great playthrough. Good quality, as always :)

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Thank you!

[@VietnameseCalligraphy]

Beautiful and lovely artwork. Great job.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Thank you!

[@zamoose]

51:45 you would’ve had to sell a stone to get the barley - you can’t have more than 3 goods per tile.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

ahh yeah you're right! Miscalculated that since Monique didn't actually put the barley on the tile prior to selling it

[@Panda-qj5xj]

Fantastic video! I absolutely adore this game! Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to play any of the chronicles yet.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

We really like the base game, having all the chronicles is a SUPER bonus for us. Excited to try different combinations to see how they change strategy.

[@bjornthebold]

Thank you for the video. My wife and I just played it yesterday for the first time. The final scores were separated by one point! Anyways, it was nice to watch your video to kind of cement my knowledge of the game.

[@aarond.8586]

I’m so glad this game made its way back to Kickstarter! I love the integration off all the unique mechanics. I can’t wait to get my hands on it!!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

The different modules/chronicles give a nice variety to play as well. Love that you can mix and match as you please.

[@Drewkas0]

Thanks for the review. Played this on TTS.. Had a blast! I'll probably pick this up at some point. Youre right about those clan markers though. Reminds me of stone henge from This Is Spinal Tap.

[@veronikarumyantseva5773]

One of my favorite games!! Love from the first glance! We love boats, new cards and voting.

[@aogorkowa8785]

The game looks amazing ;) Thank you for the video!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

It's really fun, thanks for watching!

[@Santanilla]

I am becoming your fan, thanks for making these videos

[@thisissrsbzns]

Guess what board game I just bought after watching you guys... that's right... You guys rock.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Oh no way! We really like this one and are excited to mix and match the different chronicles. Hope you will enjoy it as much as we do!

[@josyuen4207]

We really love this game. We have played chronicles 1, 2, and A. We need to try the other ones soon.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Awesome! Which chronicle did you like the best from the ones you've played?

[@zamoose]

@@BeforeYouPlay The Dragon Boats are probably the easiest-to-add + biggest gains (though There Can Be Only One is the straight-up easiest one to add). I suggest it highly.

[@josyuen4207]

Before You Play the boat race and the mountain (there can only be one) are the ones we tried and like to play with both expansions. We also added the Nessie expansion as it didn’t add too much to the game. Out of the 3, we like the boat race the best. We hope to try out the haggis and whiskey expansion in our next play. 😁. Thanks for all the play throughs. Enjoyed the Lacerda play throughs. Hope one day, my wife and I will be able to try one of his games.

[@TheFroiyke]

Waiting Ford On Mars. Your Playthroughs and reviews are excellent.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Thank you! On Mars was supposed to release this week, but we're going to have to delay it until Monday because....it may have broke our brains a little lol

[@stevegeorge7773]

Before You Play BaaHaha! Yep, it’s that level of game.

[@StephenRandall]

McLeod is pronounced 'McCloud' as in "I am Connor McLeod from the Clan McLeod and I cannot die" 😀

[@Timhotep8724]

You guys are fantastic, thank you x

[@jeremy1leedy]

Love your video! Question for you...your clans board is green. The ones I'm seeing are brown. Did you guys get a special one?

[@jeremy1leedy]

Never mind. I figured it out once I bought the game. The boards are double sided with different art.

[@j.r.cilliangreen4083]

Naveen’s look as he was getting the beat down was my exact expression my first time playing this game…

[@richardhancock1505]

I forgot to add- I received this game as my birthday gift (huge hints involved) and played it in my birthday and absolutely loved it. I wasn’t doing particularly well - although I did have some sheep income and the Loch Ness location card; so towards the end I did all I could to reduce tile placement and removed some tiles using two different methods- and I won! Those minus 3 points were a major factor in the end. Great game.

[@stevegeorge7773]

Great game! It’s a great simple one which I’d be lousy at. Coordinations of Meeples and activation of tiles I’d be really bad at. Thanks!!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Thanks for your continued support! Really means a lot to us.

[@josegodoy8461]

Broken meeple sent me here! Very neat video. Thank you

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Aww thank you so much for watching! We are so honored to be a part of his video =)

[@CharalamposTsakiris]

Hi guys, I really enjoyed your videos and with this one, leading me to buy the game, made me subscribe to you. I love the casual feeling you are giving off, and even though I kinda wish Naveen was a bit more lively, I think I like your vibe and your dynamics as a couple. Your gameplays are authentic and it shows what smart gameplay can provide towards victory. The only thing that I would love to see more is telling us more about the parts of the gameplay that might put off someone, meaning some negative facts that might give caution for people like me that are still deciding, in order not to have to watch other channels or go to bgg to discover these things. I would like to have them centralized in a channel that I can get all my info, but glad you are not shying off talking about the things that challenged you in the game. So subscribed, and got your channel in my top 3 channels to watch!!!

[@sueknew01]

I just punched my kickstarter version and there are no tiles marked with an "S" like the instruction book lists. How do you know which tiles to start with?

[@michalpeichl9098]

Thanks for the great video :)

[@frioevie]

So when you collect a resource from the clan, it can go any tile? And not just a tile that has that specific resource? Sweet!

[@timstimbre9762]

Ah Yes David Hume, the billiards lover.

[@steffenruehl2201]

Hey, thanks for the great review. Not everyone includes fireworks :) When you were in Essen to play the prototype, were you by any chance headed for Italy? I seem to recall a couple testing GM2 back then being on tour...

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Hi! Thanks for watching! Yes, that was us! How funny. We started our trip in Essen, then went to Italy right after Spiel. So cool that you remembered that!

[@Nain1982]

@steffen Ruehl Hi steffen, is there any possibility that a mini-expansion is made with the original tiles of glen more? that way there's a variant to play the old version as well?

[@thomaswilson7718]

LOL "O your not doing bad you have you money." "A Dollar" :( I actually laughed out loud :D Thank you all for these videos! Very entertaining and educational. Easiest way to fully learn the game as I watch you all do what you explained in the teach

[@shlomaster1]

I heard this is coming back to KS with new expansion

[@drbasseri]

When?

[@lindajohnson2967]

@@drbasseri Now until September 3, 2020

[@arashu.gorgsson3870]

what a smooth and perfectly balance game ... wow ... love it, its also kinda combolisious 😅

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Super combolicious!

[@danpalmer7676]

Seen a few playthrough's of this and yours up there with the best. I agree about Loch Ness card being too strong in 2 player game.If i find similar ones in other games i just remove them.

[@tylerbrown9797]

This game looks like a fantastically playable but still crunchy game. I feel I could play this with people that would normally check out in a crunchy/dry game and they would be super engaged by the tension of who wants what tile and who manages to get it.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Yup you're right! I believe the game is on tabletopia if you would like to try it out.

[@Lordofthering2102sj]

Did you still play this game ? Did you Tried others chronique?

[@saintsalieri]

Based on this one playthrough, I feel like the game has engine building mechanics but more of a set collection scoring mechanism. I think I'd fall into the trap Naveen did of wanting to make an efficient, wheat-n-stone producing territory, only to be undone by the less mechanically interesting but more lucrative people tiles. I'm not sure this is a bad thing as it means there are a lot of things to keep in mind at all moments, but there is a little bit of a disconnect there maybe. I'm considering picking it up even though I mainly play two player, as it would clearly be better at higher player counts but still looks quite fun. And I think there is an automa deck being produced for the expansion, which could allow a simulated third player along with the die -- I hope the automa influences the clan board and market in a meaningful way.

[@zivpesso6293]

Curious how has this game held up for you both.

[@zamoose]

One thing that bothered me ever-so-slightly: it's barley, not wheat. *grin*

[@zamoose]

20:45 -- "Mac-Cloud" like in The Highlander. *grin*

[@BeforeYouPlay]

oh my gosh, this made me laugh out loud. I can't believe I missed that. We're so used to calling things that look like that in games, wheat haha.

[@Javaslinger7730]

This is wheat... THIS IS WHEAT! lol

[@pks-bisqp2677]

Ok guys so here is my opinion. It's fourth of fifth time I occasionally jump in to see your playthrough. Every single time Monique is just smashing Naveen. This is no fun to watch at all. I am expecting to see some flavour of the game but seeing just one sided game is not the way to go. When it's totally clear around half of video that one player is obvious winner before you can even see the end game scoring is just crap. This means either: one player is obviously weaker OR the game is totally unbalanced... OR you make it on purpose so that Monique is mostly winning. This is not what I am looking for. I checked some other youtubers that do playthrough and I really feel that your videos give quite sqewed overview which simply sucks. I am not judging why but more often than not I am left with feeling that games you show are unbalanced and not for me. Surprisingly the same games I see on others youtubers appeal to me and at least two times it ended in purchase which appeared to be great games. I keep thumbs for you but... Your reviews and playthroughs are totally missing that neutral and balance factor that help me make my decision if I want to play or not. Unsubscribe from me unfortunately.

[@dramajoe]

Bye, Felicia. If you're so rattled by a woman winning a game that you feel the need to loudly announce your departure, then good riddance.

[@nunop6894]

Wtf. I will just pretend I didn't read this. So you were expecting that they script all the moves so that it gets balanced for you? Lol. Doesn't make any sense.

[@pks-bisqp2677]

You may pretend whatever you like your choice but please do not put words I didn't say into my post. I have never said I expect scripted playthroughs furthermore I have never said I had problems with women winning. How sick is that to suggest something like that?? I have been beaten many times in board games by women, including my wife and I am more than happy to see more women in the hobby, sadly there are still fewer of them than men. If both of you can't read and understand plain English... well I see no point in any other explanation or discussion. Best regards to both of you.
