How to Play Oh My Goods! (2nd edition rules)

[@merlyn8161]

This is one of the best rule-explanations I've ever seen. Especially for a game that seems so complexe. Thank you (:

[@eduardo-moroni]

I have watched four videos explaining, this is the best by far.

[@johnwhitesnake6353]

Oh My Goodness this certainly is a great tutorial!

[@rossmartens1690]

Great tutorial for a challenging game. I've always struggled with the rulebook, so this is much appreciated! High Five!

[@fwj777]

I said it in the unboxing too, but you are very good at what you do. This “how to play” is spot on, answers all frequently asked questions, and is funny to boot! 20 minutes is a long teach for a game that takes 45 minutes to an hour, but it’s a complicated game that is totally worth the rules explanation.

[@NightsAroundaTable]

Ugh. Thanks. i’m very self conscious about the length of this one, but i couldn’t trim much more and keep all the “what about....?” questions in there.

[@fwj777]

Nights Around a Table I agree. It HAS to be this long because otherwise something gets overlooked or lost in the complexities and then people have sour grapes because “you didn’t say that”. I was more or less making the comment that Mr. Pfister designed a 60 minute card game that takes 25 minutes to explain. It’s really good, but you have to commit to learning this thing!

[@NightsAroundaTable]

@@fwj777 Was having a conversation with a friend yesterday, who accused the game of being a worse, more complicated rip of Splendor. Thought?

[@fwj777]

@Nights Around a Table it’s definitely a more complex engine builder....Splendor is as easy as it gets in that genre. I prefer crazy complexity and decisions, and the “push your luck” of the sun phases. Splendor is great, but doesn’t do that. Both games are in my top 50, but Oh my goods (with expansion) ranks much higher.

[@NightsAroundaTable]

@@fwj777 Well said! i gotta check out that (those) expansion(s).

[@dgarzao]

The best Oh My Goods tutorial I've found! Great job! Thanks!

[@hannahproctor1075]

I was about to give up on this game... and then I found your video. Wow! Thanks for the amazing run down of the game. It's honestly the best rules explanation I've ever watched. New subscriber here!

[@NightsAroundaTable]

Smashing, Hannah! Glad to have helped.

[@TinhNguyen-vt1wm]

I like your way of explaning the rules with some notes about the strategies and some humours to keep us entertained through this complex game. Thanks ❤🎉

[@CG_Hali]

I'm back to refresh my memory cause I didn't get to finish my first game yesterday lol But just wanted to add I love how you included a full round. There's not enough who do that in their videos, add what a full round looks like and putting it all together is often challenging. You made it easy :)

[@NightsAroundaTable]

Glad i could help!

[@chriswood3077]

I’ve played this once and loved it but needed a refresh on rules before teaching. This was perfect. Thanks.

[@mathswithgarry7104]

Its a little more complex than I was expecting for such a small package! That made the rules a lot clearer, thank you. I particularly didn't get that the cards you turn upside down on your charburner can act as either money or charcoal.

[@NightsAroundaTable]

Yeah! i’m impressed at how much play he packs into just cards.

[@bruges1369]

Best review for this game out there. Thanks for taking the time to do it.

[@heather9816]

Thank you so much!! This helped tremendously in learning how to play this game.

[@NightsAroundaTable]

My pleasure! The rulebook is weirdly sufficient and inadequate at the same time.

[@Nick-ym4gh]

rules are all clear and great humor, well done!

[@Jootie_de_Kop]

Thanks for this great review. I'm ready to play!

[@liana32]

You are soooo cool and funny!! I love watching your videos!

[@Blue_Tanuki]

Excellent! I own this game. I know how to play. But I watched this video anyway because it was engaging and funny.

Thanks Ryan! Now we're ready to play our Christmas game! I did enjoy your sense of humour (maybe a glass of wine helped... ) ;) Merry Christmas!

[@NightsAroundaTable]

My pleasure! Hope you enjoy it. Merry Christmas!

[@twinkle04evr]

Very good explanation, I feels like this one will have a learning curve for new players.

[@NightsAroundaTable]

Thank you. It feels like something was lost in translation in the rulebook for sure.

[@hansph00508]

Finally an excellent tutorial!!! you rule dude

[@NightsAroundaTable]

Thanks Javier!

[@jimgrant9081]

Thanks for a great tutorial!

[@luketheduke1982]

Great video. I believe if you don't want to or can't build your set-aside building, it goes to the discard pile, not back into your hand.

[@NightsAroundaTable]

Thanks, luketheduke1982. The original German rulebook (or version 1 of the English rulebook) might say something different, but on page 9 of the revised rulebook, it says "If you cannot or do not want to build it, you return the building card to your hand."

[@luketheduke1982]

@@NightsAroundaTable interesting. Yes, the German version says to discard it. Do you think it might make for a better experience, if you risk it and can't build it and then have to discard it?

[@NightsAroundaTable]

@@luketheduke1982 It's more punitive, for sure!

[@luketheduke1982]

@@NightsAroundaTable haha, cool. Would you recommend any of the expansions?

[@IJJusion]

Wow this was a great guide, thank you so much!!

[@USSAwesome]

Wonderful tutorial. Rivals Rodney. Thanks!

Please don’t let Rodney see that. HE HAS EYES EVERYWHERE!!

Thank you for the video!

[@eatem1978]

Thanks for this!

[@alfredovillegas141]

Nice explanation, thanks a lot. I just bought the game and couldn't make sense out of the rulebook.

[@NightsAroundaTable]

Cheers! It's weirdly pithy, right?

[@greginfla_1]

good job as always

[@NightsAroundaTable]

Thanks, Greg!

[@pablonoise]

Amazing tutorial!!

[@saratippey769]

Fantastic job. Thank you!

[@abwuds7208]

Thanks a lot!!!

[@theromanwanderer8923]

Hi, great tutorial! The only thing I don't really get is the number of cards that we need to draw after we discard our entire hand in the first round! Thanks!

[@NightsAroundaTable]

Thanks stefy! Ditching your entire hand is optional. If you do, you draw as many cards as you ditched.

[@CG_Hali]

Best video on how to play and I loved the jokes! I also thought the artist could have gone the extra mile and design different looking assistants. Even reject designs would be better than just colored ones, I don't get it! lol

[@NightsAroundaTable]

Klemens gonna Franz. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@npckse8508]

@@NightsAroundaTable I love them, they add a story and a solo mode. Challenging as well!!

[@michaelhill6453]

Brilliant!

[@rsmu1439]

Great tutorial! I've got one question - can I build a building or hire an assistant in the last round? The rulebook only states that you play the last round.

[@NightsAroundaTable]

The rulebook says to play "one more complete round," and since a round includes buying assistants or buildings at the end, i don't see why not - especially since those cards are worth extra points for scoring, even if they don't "do" anything for you.

[@tgeorgom]

When using goods from the market, do I discard them? Can other players use them also?

[@NightsAroundaTable]

Nobody actually takes any cards from the market... they just sit there, representing common resources that all players can avail themselves of. So it's a communal wheat (for example) that can be used and reused by any and all players. And if the market doesn't show all the stuff you need, that's when you have to start coughing up non-communal cards from your own hand.

[@tgeorgom]

@@NightsAroundaTable Perfect, thank you for the clarification.

[@tgeorgom]

@@NightsAroundaTable many thanks!

[@TheHesterC]

So much shade thrown at Klemens Franz. 🤣

[@NightsAroundaTable]

It’s more shade than you’ll ever see in one of his flat-ass drawings.

[@TheHesterC]

Oh, man, do you crack me up!

[@primusinterpares5767]

@@NightsAroundaTable Bro!!! 😆

[@larrye]

Yeah, Klemens Franz is the elevator music of board game artists. Better than nothing, but could be soooo much more. His rates must be really good and he churns stuff out quickly.

[@NightsAroundaTable]

Damn that’s cold. And so accurate.

[@Wolcik3000]

my instruction said I can hire up to 2 players and there is 2 assistance per player

[@NightsAroundaTable]

Do you have the first edition, maybe? (Or the third??)

Holy Cow did the artist get bashed in this one... and I fully agree... and apreciate it :)

[@NightsAroundaTable]

i'll surely meet Klemens one day at a convention, and i really hope he doesn't work out.

[@fenrirsreign]

@@NightsAroundaTable all I'm gonna say is: Órleans Cover

[@NightsAroundaTable]

@@fenrirsreign i see your Órleans cover, and i raise you the At the Gates of Loyang cover. What's interesting about Órleans though is that you can very easily find the medieval source material that he based his cover art on, and it's also very poorly done. But those illustrated manuscript artists don't have the benefit of centuries of art theory, advanced tools and supplies, art schools, freedom from religious persecution for certain artistic expression, and... you know... the colour BLUE, like certain present-day artists do.

[@Lwilibert]

great tutorial, and a ton of fun but i thought this game was "easy to grasp" as advertised haha.

[@NightsAroundaTable]

Thanks! i think it's a piece of cake if someone teaches it to you, but i thought the rulebook was really spare, and didn't account for a whole pile of curb cases.

[@cheese4cheese303]

"Sloppy workers sniffing glue" got you the sub

[@MartinLetendre]

My name is Klemens, I am German and I don't find the art sloppy...

[@NightsAroundaTable]

Nice try! Your avatar image alone is already head and shoulders above what Klemens produces.

"this guy, who is a totally different guy and not just a lazy repaint by the games terrible artist" haha, so true. klemens franz is such a crappy designer :(

Oof, not for me. The jokes weren't funny and I just wanted a quick video tutorial on how to play, I didn't need to hear multiple jabs at the game's artist.
