I swear, Becca Scott could describe paint drying and still command my attention. Also, Kudos to the entire production team for managing to give personality to the simple act of demonstrating the player cards and resources. Leaving in the little mistakes, corrections, and adjustments adds an immersive element. It makes what could have been a rote and boring process truly feel like I'm sitting at the table having a friend teach me to play. It really makes a difference. I just want you all to know that I noticed the effort and appreciate it. Also, if you haven't done so already, you folks should seriously put together some kind of Geek & Sundry 'sizzle reel' or demo to shove at the folks who buy job training and safety videos for factory jobs and supermarkets. You could use your production and presentation skills to save lives (or improve them) simply by producing videos people will actually pay attention to. You could even make that reel a tax deductible favor-in-kind contribution to your favorite charity. Could 826LA use training videos for the volunteers at Time Travel Mart?

What I like most about these videos is that game setup becomes very easy to understand.

[@TemujinReads]

A couple small corrections: - When taking the third action at the Guardhouse, you release all of your workers from all other players' boards, not just one player's. - The first tiebreaker is whoever's higher on the Virtue track. If that's still a tie, the second tiebreaker is whoever has the most silver.

I've played this once, and fell in love! I think it's better than Raiders of the North Sea- and that's an awesome game too!

[@DanielHolding]

I think purely each by themselves it's better, but Raiders with both expansions really shines. But then you could argue the in that case that makes Architects the better game.

[@TheEricBooth]

This is such an amazing game. Top 5 for 2018.

[@silentwhisp4r670]

I look forward to see you and your friends playing it!

[@TheRealDerohneNick]

Looks pretty interesting, thanks! The dress is so fitting for the game.

[@athletico3548]

I would prefer without it.

[@Sheriff_K]

Marco 😏😳😬

[@cfosburg]

Excellent how to play 👍👍

[@nightcatarts]

This looks interesting, especially the ability to capture other players' workers & all the associated mechanics. Those have the potential to turn this into quite the cutthroat experience.. Also, looking very Petrosinella in that dress. Thumbs up.

[@TheCheshireKatt]

I played this game, it was lots of fun

[@shadoweranon5240]

I need a game like this but with simpler mechanics and choices .. any recomendation ?

[@codym6376]

Raiders of the North Sea

[@maggiedean5691]

Becca where did you get that dress? I need it!

[@LordoftheBoard]

Love this Game! Perfect video. Well done!

[@trunkmonkee1971]

One if my favorite games

[@festalongreyhawkshorts4sho645]

Great video! Great voice ! Cool game! Love your vids

[@Daley63]

Can one draw a building card with only one worker at the Workshop? Or is two required to take that action?

[@etheldir128]

I'm sure you figured it out by now but for future readers: yes, you can do it with one worker. If you played 1,2,3,4,5,6 workers you would take 1,2,2,3,3,4 cards

[@draughtoflethe]

That dress is absolutely adorable, Becca. ^_^

[@Ronindennis]

'I lost my virtue playing Architects last night,' no-one said in the office on Monday morning.

[@frankharr9466]

I'm sure the east, north and south kingdoms will be covered in the expansions.

[@ericcossette3999]

I'm in love.

[@mechille01]

Happy Belated birthday. Love the dress.

[@ginkuo7456]

Lovely 😆😆

[@kaesar98]

I love this game. It could only be better playing it with Becca in that sweet outfit! Thanks for the tantalizing and informative playthrough!

[@veliqnespa]

An awesome looking game presented by a group of wondrous human beings.

[@Hashslingingslasher-]

When i dream of Becca, this is what she's wearing.

[@PSnGa]

Yeah I wish she would have given us a little cat walk turn around kind of thing in it. Very nice looking piece. :)

[@WardNightstone]

this game has alot of moving parts but looks fun

[@Corusame]

11:49 😂😂😂

[@littleratblue]

Cool dress. I'll watch the review later!

[@angewomon143]

Aw she looks cute! We should go to ren faire!

[@sangwooispoo3005]

You guys should play Dinosaur Island

[@flipsyperson]

That looks like my mothers wedding dress from 1978

[@darinherrick9224]

Been waiting 5 years and this game is still too expensive to buy without playing it first.

[@cdub1173]

So Hawt

[@Microbex]

red head .. 🤤

[@Mattysizzle]

Better than Rodney’s video. Good job

[@CK-xh7gn]

Lol yeah sure

[@alishoja3289]

Too complicated for my simple mind😄

[@lizisverycool2250]

Is this game where parks and rec got the idea for “The Cones of Dunshire”.

[@nickrekietascrosseyedwife7166]

Cones of dunshire is a convoluted mess. This game is a marvel of modern board game design. Also, that episode aired before this was released.

[@lizisverycool2250]

Nick Rekieta's Cross Eyed Wife no, that’s not what I mean. I mean that I wonder if the little snippets that Ben spoke about were inspired off of this, but the convoluted part was purely comedic.

[@nickrekietascrosseyedwife7166]

@@lizisverycool2250 either way, the episode is considerably older than this game is, so it doesn't really matter.

[@lizisverycool2250]

Nick Rekieta's Cross Eyed Wife I was unaware.

[@rbd6502]

this guide is terrible, 1 i still dont know how to speak with a lisp 2 it doesnt get you any closer to speaking like someone from Hispania err i mean Cathhhtile

[@gameforce2k]

Tale this put it here take this take that place this place that more this more that and thats its so simple, yeahhh right to much bull sh¡t
