Your videos are great quality.

[@TheRulesGirl]

Thank you!

[@OneClickStories]

I have lost my instructions in my set and forgot how to play the game. This video is a lifesaver, thanks!

[@TGoldSpud]

Thank you Rules Girl, you did in two minutes what I cannot do in twenty with an instruction booklet!

[@shodanlee]

Your videos are very intuitive and concise. Please do more :)

[@andale47]

Love your fast reviews and the quality is great! Also like the suggestions!

[@madmarshman]

Excellent, short and concise, thank you.

[@CucarachaStudio]

How do you do that?! Once we think of playing or buying a game, the day after your video with this game is released! We thought of playing our Battle Line literally yesterday. Magic!

[@TheRulesGirl]

Spooky!

[@Elucidarian]

I would also (highly) recommend Hanamikoji if you enjoy Battle Lines.

[@ItsygoKurosaki]

If I complete a formation and my opponent has zero troops on there side of the formation do I automatically win the flag? Or do I have to wait until they put some troops down?

[@Luk3d4wG]

You have to wait (unless you play an 8-9-10 straight flush)

[@daviie]

I recommend Schotten Totten, which is the same game, but with much better artwork in my opinion!

[@TheRulesGirl]

Ooo, thanks for letting me know about that.

[@pipbeale]

Better artwork? I think this is the most perfect designed game. I will look it up though.

[@charlieg81]

How about doing Steampunk Rally. love the game, but very difficult to teach...love your videos

[@TheRulesGirl]

Haven't gotten the chance to play it yet, we'll have to check it out. Thanks for the kind words!

[@wanderingbandit8823]

I love you and your videos

[@WilD1511]

Any chance you'll do Eldritch Horror anytime soon?

[@TheRulesGirl]

Hopefully soon! The script is written, and clocks in at 8-9 minutes right now. Would love to shave a minute or two off that before we start animating.

[@colinwright27]

Amazed you didn't mention Lost Cities as an alternative.

[@TheRulesGirl]

Ooo, you're right. I've been forgetting about Lost Cities on all the 2-player videos!

[@colinwright27]

I couldn't decide between them but ended up getting Lost Cities. Will definitely get Battleline in the near future. Keep up the good work. Great videos.

[@Daley63]

Kinda sounds similar to Hanamikoji!
