How to Play STARDEW VALLEY THE BOARD GAME! A Cinematic Tutorial!

[@alamb1101]

It’s four season cards on top of each end of season card for a total of 20 cards, but only 16 turns.

[@alamb1101]

...and three gold total, not per player.

[@TimChuon]

Thank you for this! I literally missed “collectively” for gold and the card count; really glad you pointed this out, thank you so much!

[@alamb1101]

Of course! Thanks for posting your video!

you all probably dont care but does someone know of a way to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me!

[@chiara.restivo]

!! NOTE: Setup: the players as a team COLLECTIVELY start with a TOTAL of 3 Gold

[@Nadav_Vardiel]

Thx

[@TheHexyBeast]

as a fan of the video game i am super impressed with how much of the game they have managed to squeeze in im so excited to actually play this!

[@TimChuon]

Right?! It’s kinda crazy how similar it is to the actual game!

[@Haexxchen]

But it does make the game kinda heavy. Especially for non Stardew players. (I'll get the game when it is available in my country and see how my friend who likes very comlicated games does.)

[@kailomonkey]

Yea I wasn't sure how well it would work since it puts so many elements in, but it all makes sense. They made the game super tight though, where I'd rather adapt the rules slightly to make it chill. Maybe I'd give myself an extra action playing solo to relax the vibe :) I'm glad it's playable solo as that way I can get it and not have to teach anyone else how to play!

[@kailomonkey]

@@Haexxchen Did you both get the game and play with your friends? I'm interested in the results :)

[@kailomonkey]

Erata: 2:52 when you shuffle each season deck, you should then pull only 4 off each season before putting those on the season end cards and stacking them all together. do NOT stack ALL the season cards on there. 5:13 it's not a core rule so not a big deal, but the festival card shown here does not require you to own any chickens. 14:21 the loved gift for Penny shown here is any crop, not just a parsnip. 17:20 bear in mind here and when mining in general, using a staircase you don't just change the map tile, you do also need to go down a level by removing the top card above (where it says Level 1 here, and you turned 2 stone into 2 staircases, you would remove that card and the next one so you are on Level 3) Thanks for making the guide. Thanks for reading the erata. Enjoy your game!

[@embellish22]

the quick recaps you do after explaining a portion of the game is welcomed. love the style you have.

[@TimChuon]

Thanks Zac! I try to do mini breaks since it’s a ton of information-and glad you’re finding that helpful!

[@yassirygarcia9648]

I just wanted to see if anyone else heard him call the junimo, “green apple” symbol lol

[@TimChuon]

HAHA! I realized after the fact it’s a forest spirit but it looks like an 🍏!! 😂😂

[@mattsnow3357]

@@RetardTE It IS Junimo, not Jumino.

[@Dr.Bright]

I called them little grenades with legs when I first saw them and my friends have been playing Stardew for a very long time, started laughing extremely hard and I was so very confused because I had just started.

[@Windja69]

Well he did say junimo

[@TheShadesOfBlack]

Dude, Great explanations. Its hard to find a good guide video that isnt someone who likes the sound of their own voice. You are quick, concise and you reiterate. Thank you. Awesome job.

I really appreciate that Shaun! I always strived to make those characteristics of my videos the goal from the beginning-and it means a lot that you’re enjoying all the work I put into them! 🥳

​@@TimChuon I second this. Watched this two years later since I just got the game. Great camera work, great explanations. Couldn't have said more accurate praise.

that's SO rewarding to hear-it's the goal! Thank you so much david-hope you have a great time with SV!

Damn this is a great tutorial vid. ...I'd never play this game because the setup alone seems like it would take an hour and my family has the attention span of a cocaine addicted squirrel but still great vid.

HAHA! Ahh same with my group 😔 the setup is quite daunting though, there’s a ton of stuff going on for sure!

[@racheldawe1203]

Brilliant explanation of the game without ruining everything. I don't like watching playthroughs so was trying to find something that explained the game well before I bought it, and I've found it. Subscribed now. Clear, concise, well presented and you are very watchable. Thankyou

[@TimChuon]

thanks so much Rachel! I hope you had a wonderful time in Stardew!!

[@tarotteaparty]

I love your video style! our teenagers are huge Stardew Valley fans and we brought this game back from Origins.

Super informative and easy to watch! Thanks man!

[@shinjial]

Really nice, well-produced video. Everything is super clear, the rules are organized, the b-roll and everything. Nice job. I clicked because I was curious about the game and was surprised by the quality of your work.

[@TimChuon]

Thank you Andre!! I definitely try to break it down and make it look nice for each tutorial! Glad you enjoyed the video!

Can I used multiple stones to descend the mine by several levels at a single time? For example, during the "end-of-turn" phase, can I discard 3 stones to go down the mine by 3 levels in one go? Note: I play solo so per game rules, I only need to use 1 stone.

🐺🐾🦊 I want to play the board game because stardew is the first game I actually got into! I've logged so many hours 🙈

[@Hfuka7]

Are you able to stack resources on your inventory card? Example, two stone? Or does it take up two individual inventory spaces?

[@TimChuon]

You cannot stack! So two stones would take up two individual spaces~

[@TylorBlock]

Thank you!!

[@diegoperez3868]

I have several doubts about Gameplay, so if anyone could answer would be great: Map layout is changed only when descending mine level? When player "A" befriends villagers and has 2 Friends and player "B" has 0 Friends, when "gift" villager skill is triggered due to season card, Player B can use a friend skill of any other player villager or just those whom he specifically friended?

[@crappygamer4927]

Amazing video. Just a couple of questions. Sorry if i missed it. Question 1. If im playing with a group of 4 for example. Do we all trigger end of turn actions or just the player with the animal token. Second question.... What does the animal token do? Does it pass on to the next player in a clockwise fashion? I dont see the purpose of it. Thanks for any help

[@darthb00b70]

Sooo wait. How many cards are suppose to be in the season deck? All of em or a curtain amount like it's randomized when u pick the community cards n grandpa cards. Cause rn I'm using them all n I keep going back n forth between the book n this video making sure I'm doing it right. I actually want this game to kick my arse but I mean if I'm suppose to pick a curtain amount for each season instead of using the entire deck then I might be doing it wrong. I need an answer. Anyone?

[@magikmaschine2949]

A good how to play video thank you! I really want to order this game and play with my friends, But i have to wait for the EU release.

[@TimChuon]

Thank you! I really hope they open it to worldwide shipping for wave 2!

[@frangan6684]

Hi. I am new to this channel. I think it would be nice to have a short introduction about the game (what kind of game it is. How many players/time for a game.) I watched this video even if I don't have the game. I was just curious about it. And have chapters so we can easily find the part we are interested in.

[@shawbag11]

The only thing i never understood what happens if you finish the 4 goles and the 6 community cards before the end of winter card shows up. like do you just end the game at that point?

[@RulebooksForYou]

Dude, this is some crazy high quality camera work!

[@TimChuon]

Thanks Jonathan! I try to get fancy when it comes to tutorials and more!

[@OrosZletsplays]

There's so many cards !!!!

[@Cloud-qb8wu]

For the season cards. Don't you have to randomly pick 3 of each season and then add the last of the season card on the back of each season. Total of 16 cards

[@TimChuon]

Yes! Sorry that was my fault! *and gold is supposed to be collectively 3 gold for all players, not 3 gold each

[@coriannerandstrom3214]

It's four of each card plus an end of season card. So a total of 20 cards in the deck but only 16 turns

[@sindriarnason3257]

This game can be played solo right?

[@SaberKittyZero]

Since this board game were soldout, is there any other board game that has fun images like this Stardew BG?

[@dionchang2422]

I love Stardew Valley and I love board games. But this does not look like a fun time. Really amazing explanation by the way! Depending on the group I feel like this is one of those games where one person will just take control of the game while everyone else just does whatever they're told to do, similar to base Pandemic.

[@TimChuon]

Ah thank you! That’s the thing with co ops.... pandemic really hit me the wrong with the whole alpha/cooperative mode; I feel like there’s potential in the cooperative scene to possibly address that. However....I think SV is def worth a shot in solo mode!

[@ashleythomsen1762]

The key to avoid this is to have a good group of experienced board gamers to play with. Prevents the alpha phenomenon. As does consciously being aware of it and not allowing ones self to take charge like that but that requires friend who aren't dicks 😅

[@ifraft4]

Just wanna ask if a villager card/s doesnt require gifts, does he/she still give 2 hearts? or you need to gift any item except trash?

[@sakseter89]

Is the game hard to get going?

I just played this game and stumbled upon Retaining soil upgrade and Copper watering can upgrade. Do they buff each other?? Action: Use Retaining soil (Discard ore/stone to water all crops once) Watering can buff: When you water crops, move them all 2 spaces. So if I use the soil, do my crops move 2 spaces because I have a copper watering can? Hmn....
