I've just acquired a copy of Rurik and have been watching all the rules videos I can find. This has easily been the most helpful. Thank you!

[@TheGameBoyGeeks]

Thanks and I'm glad it helped! I've done hundreds of Rules videos, hopefully you'll subscribe if you haven't already!

[@lllorez]

Thank you for doing How to Plays on games that others do not. Very clear and helpful.

[@TheGameBoyGeeks]

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@213Gremlin]

This is SUCH a good video. I had to get ready to play this over a friends place today (we are taking plague precautions) and I feel like I am ready after this video. You explain the rules so well.

[@TheGameBoyGeeks]

Awesome! Glad you liked it!

[@piecekeepergames]

I hope you enjoyed playing!

[@clumsydad7158]

Kinda cool, I like games with historical themes and maps, looks like a lot of work went into it, and the new mech doesn't sound half bad. Hell of a job laying out the review. I'll keep an eye on it.

At 18:22, you dont take the first player marker... You choose anyone to be the first player, including yourself.

[@FranzBazar]

Superb how to video thank you!

[@TheGameBoyGeeks]

Thanks I’m glad you liked it!

[@razorboy251]

Awesome how-to-play video, this really helped our group. The manual itself isn't bad or anything, but this video definitely made a few things clearer. By the way, great game, I'm glad I kickstarted it, I hope it will either one day get an expansion or there will be another game from these publishers set in Eastern Europe which is such an underutilized setting!

[@TheGameBoyGeeks]

Thank you!

[@piecekeepergames]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@roberthart3305]

Just played my first game and then watched the video. We did a few things wrong, but it was still a fun game. Having now watched this, I'm going to play again next week and I'm sure it will go much smoother. Great game. I can see where it will move very quickly once you understand the sequence of play.

[@TheGameBoyGeeks]

I'm glad it helped Robert!

Bit of a table hog?

[@razorboy251]

It was a bit of a tight fit on our IKEA 6 by 3 table but nowhere near as bad as TI4. The excellent inserts helped manage the table space too.
