How to Play The Shores Of Tripoli in 11 Minutes

[@WatchItPlayed]

I sat down this afternoon to learn this game, and I was bouncing off the rulebook hard. The lack of pictures and examples, took what seemed like a lighter wargame and made it quite impenetrable for me. This video has been a massive help. Thanks Shea!

Thank you so much, Rodney, that means a lot to hear! Glad I could help!

[@WatchItPlayed]

@@RTFM Played last night and enjoyed - this video was key!

[@sojourner650]

Straight up, you make this game look exciting! I saw that this game is supposedly good (at multiple online sites), but I had no idea what was involved in its play. Now it seems even better. Thanks!

[@RTFM]

Glad I could help!

I don't know if this is my kind of game , but I LOVE the cards

[@jasonshowmaker6330]

The cards look beautiful! Excited to play this game and learn some history!

[@RTFM]

I was definitely impressed by the production quality on this game!

[@MinistryProductions]

Congrats on getting commissioned! It's nice to see someones hard work and passion begin to pay off. I hope you start to get much more. 😁 My girlfriend usually hates all the gaming nerd channels I watch but thinks yours is one of the best. So you must be doing something right! 😂 I'll see you on Nemesis next! 👍🏻

It was a no-brainer to pick RTFM to do the play-through guide. Shea's ability to distill complex games like Dune and Star Wars: Rebellion down to their core essentials is an amazing skill. We plan to utilize him for all of our new games.

[@MinistryProductions]

@@kevinbertram4828 that's good to hear. He has been so helpful to me and my group with his Twilight imperium and War of the ring videos 😁

[@RTFM]

Thanks so much! And yeah, I'm looking forward to the Nemesis video. It's gonna be fun.

[@mrp4242]

Thanks for the run through...

[@MrDenimin]

Great content as always. Is that a Kurzgesagt poster in the background?

[@RTFM]

It is! They're one of my favorite YT channels and their prints are pretty reasonably priced, so I couldn't help picking up a couple.

[@kaganmorcom6022]

Ohh looks spicy!

[@MrDenimin]

Looking forward to Nemesis.

[@RTFM]

It'll be up end of October. I'm looking forward to it too!

[@Quincy_Morris]

Will you do a video including the official Fortress Tripoli variant?

[@RTFM]

I was hired by the publishers to make this tutorial, so if they want to commission another one, I'd be happy to. Otherwise I let my Patreon backers choose what I teach.

[@bgm-1961]

So the publisher paid you to make this the official tutorial video? If so, then am I mistaken that the pop-up text at 4:37 should be construed as your own political commentary, or what?

[@RTFM]

All jokes in the video were written by me, yes. The only input I received from the publisher was on whether or not the rules were presented accurately.

[@XV250]

"Political commentary..." LOL.

[@ConsummateGamer]

I also found this comment “unnecessary” at best.

[@naokukiah]

It made me laugh, with the others.

[@misterblister1200]

Just checking in two years later to see if you’re okay. Took the joke pretty hard.
