Its 2020 and I've just been introduced to this masterpiece, great job on the how to play guys!

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Proxidize You are very welcome :)

[@robertcavanna789]

This is such a thoroughly excellent explanation of GKR gameplay! Clear, comprehensive, easy to follow, and beautifully executed. Best I've watched so far. You're totally selling me on this game. Thank you!

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Robert Cavanna glad you liked it. It’s an awesome game, which I’m hoping to get back to again someday. I’ve got the sweet and salty expansion just waiting to be played. Ironically, it’s been so long I’ll need to watch my own how to play video ha ha

[@robertcavanna789]

@@BoardGameCoffee lol.. well then, you've got a great recap waiting for you. So, does this mean you'll be reviewing the GKR expansion at some point?

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Robert Cavanna Possibly in one of our live talks. Are review videos usefully tend to gear toward newer games, as that seems to be the majority of what people want to hear. Which I totally understand.

[@nickforlizzi3100]

Just got the game. Thanks for an excellent video Mark!

[@Ngarla1]

Great work Mark, finally someone has explained exactly how sponsor cards are used

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Geoff B glad to be of help :)

[@RandoStuff]

Man this was a pleasant surprise of a video. I love the format y'all used to explain how to play this game, and I'm glad I was able to finally play my copy as this video made it simple easy to understand and play. Subscribed and I hope to see more great how to videos :) Hopefully maybe Nemesis??

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Hmmmm, maybe, I do have nemesis on the way :) And we do want to do more how to play videos in the new year, we just need to wait till all the work on our studio is complete. I’m glad the video could help :)

[@SchwarzBruder]

Awesome vid...watched your segment on Board Game Breakfast, loved it...keep it up!

[@BoardGameCoffee]

SchwarzBruder Thank you :) And much appreciate the subscribe ;)

[@DragonX5X]

this was so good explained ! thank u a lot for all the work!

[@BoardGameCoffee]

You are very welcome :)

[@SolTheExpendable]

Love this video! It was a great "How to play", perfect!!!

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Glad you liked it, and I hope it helped. We’re hoping to make more how to play videos this year :)

[@cloud2018]

Wow. I have been wanting to play this game since it came out. I bought it right when it came out and was so excited to play but still haven't.....pesky adult schedules. I have read the rules but this was without a doubt the most comprehensive breakdowns of this game I have seen. Really great work. Thank you so much for this. This video cleared up every rule question I had.

[@BoardGameCoffee]

cloud2018 Aweosme! Happy we could help :) It’s been a while since we’ve played this game ourselves actually. When we do I’ll have to go back and watch my own video LOL.

[@ClericEric]

Surprised you don’t have more subs! Love the videos, can’t wait to watch more

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Thanks, and much appreciated. We’re trying to get out there. Hoping if people share our work more people we realize we exist :)

[@ClericEric]

Board Game Coffee using this again today before I play it tonight with a new group! Thanks again

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Eric Smith Glad I could help. By the time I get back to playing this I’ll need to use the video too :)

[@Rufiy0]

Late to the party but this is THE best video explaining the rules of gkr, thank you very much!

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Rufiy0 You’re welcome :) And you’re never to late to enjoy a great game :)

[@mattjmendoza]

Thanks for making this video my dude!

[@BoardGameCoffee]

You are very welcome. Have a great time playing, it’s an awesome game :)

[@jb_boom]

Man! ...this is a great "How To Play" video! - looking forward to more of these "How To Play" series!!! - I got my copy of this game and without having it open, I can't believe now I know how to play it! haha. My Feedback - Love how you edited this, the humor, animations and sound effects, makes its length seamless and enjoyable big time. Definitely the best "How To Play" video format out there... ~yes, better than watch it played...~ Good luck with your channel!!!

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Ben Baez Thank you so much, and it really means a lot to us that we were able to help :) There will be more... in time :)

[@ethanbartolic2213]

Why is the view count so low?! This video is perfect. The instructions should have this included in them.

[@BoardGameCoffee]

I appreciate the support :) But if I had to guess, I would say it’s because the guys who made the game also have a video. It’s higher quality (they did a really good job actually) but it’s not as informative in my opinion. Oh well, as long as I can help some people, it was all worth it :)

[@boardtopieces2279]

Great vid!

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Glad you liked it and hope it helps :)

[@MickRissling]

Just heard of this game a couple days ago. Immediately ordered, comes in the days! I thought you could choose fewer than 5 deploy cards if you wanted. Great video, can't wait to play. Reminds me of the other mech games I own, Tiny Epic Mechs (commercial nature of gladiator fight) and Critical Mass (diversity and minor deck building)

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Heavy hitters is great, and I’ve always wanted to try Critical Mass. I hope you ever heavy hitters when it arrives :)

[@MickRissling]

I think too that the glory hound goes to most flags placed, not buildings tagged like Sponsor cards

[@BoardGameCoffee]

I couldn’t say really I don’t remember. We did that how to play so long ago and I haven’t played the game in two years LOL I would have to check on my own facts :)

[@MickRissling]

@@BoardGameCoffee I only know b/c I am reading the manual over and over until game comes!

[@BoardGameCoffee]

Ah. Good to know :)

[@G3nesys_XB]

Plz more cuts! never more than one sentence without a cut! awesome!!!

[@BoardGameCoffee]

G3nesys Well, since you asked so nicely consider it done. Hell... I... might... even... start.... incorporating.... it... into.... my everyday... life ;) #AnythingForMyFans
