My favorite for game nights with newer gamers. Experienced players add the expansion. Great game, low complexity, set rounds, player interaction, no player elimination and fun.

[@BLynn]

Had this game for years, played many times, but had overlooked the Waterdeep Harbor rule where you get to move your piece to a new location at the end of the round. When I saw this video, we added in the rule and have played 3 times since and the rule makes a lot of sense and I think makes the gameplay better. Thank you, Becca Scott.

[@madhatterguitar]

It's clear enough in the instructions, but it's so crazy that there's no indication on the board that you get to do this.

[@BLynn]

@@madhatterguitarI think the numbers on those fields are supposed to make you ask the question, but it did not in our case because there is so much more to learn about the game we passed right over that.

[@jonathandamours9967]

Thank you so much! English is not my first language and reading makes it more difficult for me to learn. The visuals of this video along with the rules really helped me!

[@patrickmosher7659]

I really enjoyed the TapleTop video of this game and can't wait to see you and your friends play this!

[@baronbreakfast4681]

Absolutely love this game! Looking forward to Game the Game.

[@SticksAandstonesBozo]

This is the most under rated board game of the last decade imho.

[@JennaGetsCreative]

OMG, so THAT'S what this game is called! Lol. A friend of mine was involved in test playing new board games back when this one came out, and I played it at his house with some old friends I hadn't seen in years. I was more focused on the people than the board game, but I've always remembered enjoying it, and I've been trying to describe the vague details I remembered to game shop owners to try and find it every since! (You'd be surprised and disappointed by how many game shop owners have directed me to Settlers of Catan when I was trying to find this one.)

[@carlosdelgado4147]

Such a good game. Need to play again! This weekend.

[@hz1249]

This is one, if not, the best video for this title. Her vibe is always radiance and contagious. By just watching this video has made me want to come back playing this again, and it feels like the first time playing it, exciting. Thank you Becca!! Waiting for more of your great videos!!

[@paranoiatable]

Great Instructional! This really clarified the rules! I love this game.

[@lotrax]

There's a mistake at 2:36. You don't pay in cubes OR gold, you pay in cubes AND gold.

[@FishoD]

Resident "board game explaining" expert. Becca for the win.

[@MrKira447]

4:14 the graphic is off, it's highlighting the quest card symbol instead of the intrigue card symbol

[@DanielMaioni]

At 4:14 the quest token was marked instead of the intrigue card token. Q instead of I.

[@DanielMaioni]

My favorite work placement game!

[@kazarofchult8086]

My favourite board game!

[@rob145]

great quick explanation. thanks!

[@akocbibbo]

dear becca scott, please keep on making these videos :D

[@SuperboyReborn]

Awesome rules video! Wish you guys would go ahead and do the skullport expansion since it doesn’t add that much complexity to the game

[@Grzlstx]

Great summary thanks

[@EnniOlaer]

I really really really love this game.

[@MJ1978]

YES YES YES!!! I enjoyed the Tabletop play as well, but have been waiting for you to get around to this one. Becca .....remember to go for the card where you train owl bears! :)

[@tandeshmukh]

very pogchamp. thank you

[@edwindrood2816]

Great game!

[@andersoncunha5192]

I love your channel. Say hi to Brazil!

[@jennifermiranda7674]

So after you complete your 2 initial quests (acquired at the beginning of the game), you have to acquire new quests by going to the Cliffwatch Inn only?

[@Leron...]

I've got a question... So, I've heard folks use the phrase "feed teo birds with one scone" as a less violent replacement of the more common version if that phrase. And we can all agree that it's a friendlier, vegan alternative...However, my question is: if an existing, common phrase merely implies the exploitation of animals and the alternative implies violence towards humans, does that make it a vegan alternative? Specifically, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" could become "don't put all your legs in one casket"... but is that better or worse?

[@CJVale]

Pro tip for anyone playing the expansion: remove all the lord's that say "You get bonuses for quest type A or quest type B" It really spices up the game and lets people use the full board in better ways than just to complete quests

[@nicktohzyu]

Pro tip for anyone writing english: the plural of lord is lords

[@thewavyblue]

@@nicktohzyu Pro tip for anyone criticising another user's written English: Just don't. English may not be their first language. 🖕

[@Bob-wr1md]

@@thewavyblue lol criticizing someone's English helps them to improve their language skills. Correction and criticism is crucial for learning a new language

[@tigriscallidus4477]

@@Bob-wr1md No it is just annoying, most faults are made because people where typing fast or where just not fully concentrating, not because that was not known. Also language is just hear four understanding, so as long as people can communicate, its fine.

[@Bob-wr1md]

@@tigriscallidus4477 I wasn't referring to the lord lord's correction, but the comment that you should never criticize someone's written English in general. This is just bad advice. Also confusing lords and lord's does show a grammatical error that might have been misunderstood.

[@maggintons]

You could merge this with an Acquisitions incorporated D&D game and have the party be one player while the DM is the three other factions colluding to get you out of the business. With the board Game and D&D campaign influencing each other.

[@funstuff9963]

Are those scrolls or cloth napkins on the right er stage left? either way do they have the rules written on them

[@EightThreeEight]

4:32 You misspelled "their".

[@iamjerrygoins]

epic 🙌 gave me some ideas for my channel!

[@Brettbren]

*I would LOVE for them to play Vampire: The Eternal Struggle on Game the Game!*

[@hobbster6546]

I'm kind of surprised to see this here, this game was released 7 years ago. Why present it now? Why not a new game? Still a good game though.. edit: link to Geek and Sundry's Tabletop, with Will Wheaton and Felicia Day presenting this game (Guests: Patrick Rothfuss, Brandon Laatsch): kzbin.info/www/bejne/eminp3h_m9eDbpY

[@starxhilmie]

I'm here because of Becca

[@BraveLittlePixel]

It's cool but I expected more player agency and input, this seems to be more like a Ticket to Ride meets Catan game and just assigning resources.

[@VirgilCummings]

Awesome!!..u da bomb!!

[@RyansHobbyGarage]

Wasn't this already on tabletop?

[@fatenabu1]

Could just watch the Tabletop video and watch it being played :P

[@doojber]

Love this game but there's so much ambiguity in the cards. Anyone else feel this way?

[@DarthTUK]

Riot if no Owlbear callback

[@JunkAccumulator]

Finally, a game and a video that didn’t make me cringe. 👍👍👍

[@Cnohares]

Thank you from 2023.

[@sonder_ua]

Becca Scott is so hot I need to watch this video three times to understand the rules...

[@luisalfaro3154]

1st comment! You guys are amazing! =D

[@dj_anthon]

Watchin 3rd time, nothing understanding

[@willjackson5885]

Lol what?

[@bertilketager9954]

I miss Will Wheaton

[@bcmaledragon]

I do as well. This is only the 3rd video I've watched since Wheaton's departure. I watched a couple other playthroughs from Geek n Sundry with Becca as the host and noticed with a couple games she "cheated" so I stopped watching.

[@dragonjaw95]

Come on guys, not even with any expansion? The base game is already on TableTop before

[@BB-pn2qv]

How does anyone follow a rushed list of instructions like this...?

[@bcmaledragon]

Lol because it's not that hard to understand something so simple. I own this game and this is how I've taught everyone that I've played it to how to play the game.

[@joshkruckow7701]

TAKE OUT MANDATORY QUEST CARDS UNLESS THERE IS 4 PEOPLE. They are annoying as hell with 2 people

[@EightThreeEight]

I don't think they're any more annoying than they are with 4 players. With lower player counts, you have more agents, and therefore more opportunities to complete quests, so the damage of having to waste an action completing a mandatory quest is somewhat reduced.

[@Xingmey]

thx we don't need you to play it. wil wheaton already has done it, on this very channel.

[@leodouskyron5671]

Foxi! You know a great game can be played more then once ;)
