How to Play Frostpunk: The Board Game - How to Game with Becca Scott

[@Matuse]

I'm exhausted just watching the board get set up.

[@GoodTimeSociety]

it's a doozie!

[@vincentbouatou5686]

It’s not a game for everyone clearly. But it’s actually flows really well after a couple rounds and is incredibly enticing; while I am usually not a big fan of this type of game I find myself drawn to it regularly

[@jeffwilliams3924]

I know, right? I just got my copy yesterday, and watching this video makes me want to just boot up the video game instead.

[@GlassCannonUnplugged]

So excited to see this game finally featured on your channel! Such a concise breakdown of the setup and the general rules of play. I think this is exactly what our players have been waiting for! 💜

[@thisjust10]

I hope I get to play it sometime! It looks fun and I love the pc game - A GTS BTS person.

[@Kiyote]

Video is great. Jumps right in to teaching with minimal preamble. Clearly presented and quality overview.

[@GoodTimeSociety]

Much appreciated!

[@sworddemon66]

Looks like the difficulty on the boardgame is about the same as Survivor mode. Bloody hell

[@bobstand3696]

LOL the setup just kept going and kept going. Every time I thought it was done, it just went on and on. I had to check the date of the video a few times to check to see if it was April 1st.

[@andysingh1951]

Thank you so much for making this! I was looking for something exactly like this that would give a high level overview of the rules and flow of the game. Can't wait to start playing this game :)

[@patrickolmstead1557]

Thank you. This will be excellent for new players to get them oriented before play. There is a lot to the game. It's intimidating. But, it actually plays fairly well/smoothly. [First time I played it, we made it to round 5, playing a friend's copy.] I am a lot less worried about running a game myself thanks to this video. Keep up the good work.

[@andrewebert6731]

This is the best tutorial that I have seen for this game thus far! Nice work, and thank you!

[@origenward3845]

Wow, that's a beast of a setup. Great tutorial, thank you.

[@KenWongVO]

Yesss! My first kickstarter for it arrived a month ago, can't wait to dig in! Thanks for the video!

[@senorpollotv]

I just finished playing my first run! What timing! We lost all hope but it sure was fun lol

[@GamingRulesVideos]

Awesome job. Great overview. I'm just putting the finishing touches to my full video today, which is slightly longer :)

[@kasperlaursen7005]

This is the first time I'm watching any of your content. Absolutely fantastic presentation! I always prefer short rules presentations like this one. I do have one problem though. I had to restart the video several times as i got distracted by your brilliant smile 🙂 I'll look for more of your videos in the future.

[@indeimaus]

I'm trying to not buy this one i have too many boardies but you are making me want to buy it becca

[@imansoeteman5006]

Thank you very much for your great video, it helped me a lot.

[@adriang6259]

Never heard of it but it sounds like my kind of thing. Great video.

[@Apeiron242]

I would watch Becca read a spreadsheet. And then go buy that spreadsheet.

[@thisjust10]

enjoy your copy of the game! I'm really wanting to try it lol

[@sillysailor5932]

[@danieltownley7436]

[@TC-yo1zx]

So clearly presented - thanks!

[@GoodTimeSociety]

You're very welcome!

[@yyflame]

Looks like an amazing game that I could NEVER convince anyone else to play. These video game based board games always seem to add a bunch of mechanics without considering that it will all need to be ran/tracked manually and how complicated it becomes. It’s like they forget that board games don’t run themselves like video games do

[@deanlowdon8381]

Yeah, I had the same thoughts watching this. The video game is great but having to manually track everything sounds like a bit of a chore.

[@Hahahahaaahaahaa]

A lot of set up and a LOT of steroids each round. But after one playthrough it was surprisingly easy to keep track of. There is (good) theme in everything so things like cold, weather, death etc. just make sense.

[@Cons2911]

Me and y wife love the video game of this..was excited for the board game..but then we were thinking, lots of things are automated in the pc game.. so this one might be tedious And look at the area you’d need to play

[@jugg9140]

i believe this game is not well suited for board games, not that it cant be done but some things are just better in a certain way. It's harder to understand how to play the game rather than actually playing the game lol.

[@jibril20facce]

Is it very luck-based as This War of Mine tabletop version?

[@vincentbouatou5686]

Not at all. The only random elements are météo, morning and dusk events. And they’re all bad anyway :)

[@barry1902]

I kick-started this game but haven't played it yet. After seeing the 5 minute setup video I now know that I never will. I had no idea the game was going to have this kind of setup. There are many games that we are already tired of before even beginning. I wish they would make go games where setup is part of the game and is gradually built up organically as you play.

[@Env1ve]

Winter is coming...

[@edwindrood2816]

Is this in the new studio?

[@nightcatarts]

Chronologically, I think the first thing shot there was a short film by JCVIM & Ross Bryant which you'll be able to see here soon.

[@thisjust10]

@@nightcatarts "soon" is relative here but I'm excited for when it does come out!

[@thisjust10]

I'm not actually sure what the first thing we'll see is.

[@Bartoszeg02]

To complicated :D

[@aaronjohnson2215]

I saw first screenshots, I thought it looked basic. Wtf is this game! 😂

[@josephvanwyk2088]

Mmm, I imagined designing a frost punk board game myself. - This one seems overly complicated. Mine was more simplistic.

[@House_Forrester]

With all that setup i've already decided I am NOT getting this game. That's way too much stuff to setup, it's just absurd.

[@drisitme]

Remember to Like or something little might get frozen

[@jarsqui]

Dare you to do a let's play!

[@Septembersmith9633]

That's alot of set up for a gimmick. Was interested in this but now it's a hard pass.

[@DarkBunnyLord]

I love complicated games but JFC this was way to much. Good luck finding any group let alone spending the hours it will take to make any non massive hard core board gamer to understand.

[@Deo_ei]

I just lost the game

[@jonreed6548]

Hmmm... Where was the last place you had it?

[@djfusion2808]

@@jonreed6548 They should check behind the couch.

[@GamingRulesVideos]

I found it! It was on top of Blackpool tower!

[@deanlowdon8381]

That’s a lot of set-up, I think I’ll stick to the video game!

[@peepocozy8594]

Does the girl come with the game?

[@elitedrigo3400]

Only if you pre ordered
