I personally LOVE that you interact with chat and sometimes think your turn out loud. For the latter, you do it succinctly and make a decision quickly, and the former keeps us (even though I rarely get to watch live) involved while people are thinking, which I really appreciate. I can't stand too much dead space. Thanks for all you've done for the board game community! Love the channel :)

Ich suchte nach einer Regelerklärung und let's play zu Lignum - es gibt nichts besseres - Heavy Cardboard is amazing🥰

Just picked this up in a BGG auction and was very happy to see this playthrough! It was a great teach, a great watch, and I look forward to a post-pandemic game night at my FLGS to give it a try. Thanks!

these playthroughs are great. they make it easy to go through the rules later after seeing how it goes.

AWESOME playthrough ! thanks a lot. Endscore: Adrian didn´t take the Money for the Wood from the joinery he just took the Bonus. this means he should get 8 more Money ;)) great Play ;)

I bought the game after watching this video. Very cool game.

[@Heavycardboard]

Glad it helped you make a decision on the game, Alex!

Thanks for the last bit on comparison with 1st edition, i really admire your honestly even though you know Clay who is a great guy. I remember the same thing in your Tramways review, you were honest with the rule book issues. Might grab a 1st edition copy of Lignum, always liked the idea of that Francis Drake market phase, but the rest of the game seemed a little light and i did not like the idea of playing the game 3 times without any connection between those 3 years.

awesome video

Thanks, Todd!

Great playthrough again. I found it hard to follow the rules when I was watching live but I put that down to exhaustion. On watching again, the rules were extremely clear. This game has a ton of planning and things to keep track of but seems pretty simple overall. I love the player interaction and I also like the idea of keeping the area choice. Moving down the river style worker placement is one of my favorite (Egizia is the other one in that category I've played). Do you know of any other games in this genre? Also, what are your thoughts regarding variability? Low variability tends to be a deal breaker for me on most games. What changes game to game?

Siddharth Venkatesh Francis Drake had a similar system.

I'll check it out. Thanks for the suggestion, I hadn't heard of it yet.

Played through the first year in a 2-player game. Boring, ugly, and committed to its theme to a fault.
