[@jerrodwarr9706]

Not since that weird Hansa Teutonica puppet instructional video (look it up!) have had had such delightful time learning.

[@TheLightenUpInitiative]

Wow! Thanks Jerrod. And now I'm headed to check out the puppet instructional.

[@ozzy4895]

Wow what a game i think i ll never learn how to play

[@TheLightenUpInitiative]

You can do it! I believe in you!

[@ozzy4895]

The Lighten Up Initiative thanks its better after watching in full 😅👍🏻

[@1Dreamking]

For a game with components and playing board looking so simple and clean I sure got lost in all the separate little mechanics. I think I am going to need a few playthroughs of my game before presenting this to my current group. ;)

[@willofthewispss]

@@1Dreamking ye I got fooled by the looks of simplicity too. gets better after a few playthrough though.

[@gerasimos5491]

Thanks for the video excellent explanation! Need clarification about titans: we can attack whichever titan we want regardless their star lvl and round? Can I attack 3 star lvl at round 3 and 4? So the stars shows only from which deck you draw the threatening titan or do they determine when they are available?

[@TheLightenUpInitiative]

Thanks for watching! Yes, you can attack whichever Titan you want. The stars are only there to tell you in the prepare phase which Titans to add. I hope that helps!

[@gerasimos5491]

@@TheLightenUpInitiative yep! That very clear now. Thanks for help mate!

[@TheLightenUpInitiative]

Gerasimos T. My pleasure!

[@nnoahturner4841]

Oi whats the stickers for ???

[@TheLightenUpInitiative]

The stickers are for the wooden pieces like the workers and the round marker.

[@RnRoboT]

I am to stupid for this game.
