How to Play Unsettled®

[@pootisman4290]

We just got this game in the mail today. My stepdad who recently passed I guess backed it on kickstarter. Will learn hopefully to play for him

[@G0F15H]

Sorry for your loss. You have a great gift in your hands. This is a "gamer's game" that you can't find in stores. It stokes curiosity and relies on communication and teamwork to be successful. Learn to play and you'll have many hours of stories unfold at your table. And FWIW, if he backed Unsettled I'm willing to bet you'll have some other great games show up at some point too

[@laceyjfaught]

Hi. I’m Lacey from the video. How long since he passed?

[@BoardGameSpotlight]

You know that time when this is the most anticipated game of 2021 and then they drop a video and it makes you go OMG I NEED THIS YESTERDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JonathanUllrich]

this is probably the best rules overview I've seen - concise to the point and still entertaining!

[@normstewart546]

Very nice how to play presentation; clear, complete, and fun to watch. It will take another viewing or two to get it down.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

This is such a great video! Thanks for all the work you did on it, helping me get this game to the table!

[@larrytheloner7964]

Same. Just got mine

[@MrBlackjimrogan]

Yey just got my set from the second kickstarter

[@Sylansek]

That game has so much going on… I forget the rules from one game to the next one in months, so I come here to see yogur video over and over. I think This is the “hoy to play” video I rewatch most and every time I have a good time watching, you guys seems nice and funny people. And this evening is the next KS, can’t wait to back it and come here some months from now on to refresh rules 😁

[@Annihilator27]

What’s the background track

[@mauriceoksman8594]

Really top notch video Orange Nebula.

[@spderweb]

Just got the game through the second kickstarter. This is a great tutorial. You guys looked to be having alot of fun with it. Makes it much easier to get through in one go.

[@bliqo]

Never, ever, a how to play video got me soooo excited about a game. Marvelous work!

[@LordDestrus]

I love this. I love you. I love that all of us are here to be part of this great project. Great camera position for that "Hey, Listen" moment and keep rocking those jazz hands. I mean, all the energy in this video is just superb. Orange Nebula, you have seriously pushed the limits.

[@Bahnmor]

Just jumped in on the new Kickstarter. Regret not doing so the first time around. Love the tutorial and look forward to getting this to the table.

[@TimChuon]

i wish every tutorial was as personable, entertaining and just flat out amazing as this one! 👏👏👏

[@Hahahahaaahaahaa]

Having finally gotten my copy, I really really hope other publishers/designers take note of this box/tray design. I don't think I've ever expereinced a default component quite like it, and give that people (read: I) spend upwards of 40% more on 3rd party components to organize my favorite games, I'd excitedly give the actual creators half that for something this nice.

[@brettpetersen1671]

All so epic. I am honestly blown away. I can not wait for my copy.

[@Henry-lk5pm]

All in on New KS! This vid helped make that decision easy!!

[@gamegraves]

This was funny and informative teach for unsettled, thanks guys!

[@FormationsEnte]

Sooo, how am I able to wait any longer for this game after watching your video?! I already love everything about it!

[@malakaihoward4498]

you ever have expectations for how you'll feel after watching a video, only to have them blown away by the sheer force of AWESOME that has just struck you? kudos, O-Neb. kudos.

[@OrangeNebula]

We feel that way about this comment. :-)

[@ZebraCatfish73]

Seriously you guys did an awesome job on this video. It was such a precise breakdown of the game with great close up camera work. The “Setup” was so clear. A real professional job and a joy to watch and I’m only 6 minutes in. Well done! Now back to the video. ;)

[@rockkatona100]

I just decided to kickstart your game because of this video! Then I shared with my friend, and he decided to order it too! :D

[@michaelsweatt88]

Super stoked to get this soon! This looks as good as the Kickstarter made it out to be!

[@dru288]

This is like Scavengers Reign the board game.

[@nathanwarzecha2943]

Love the details and smoothness of this video. We've played the game multiple times, but I came back here to see if there was anything I missed or we were maybe doing wrong. Great quality on this! Realized we were doing distress wrong as we played that if a player could only gain 3 distress max, and gaining a 4th would cause the endurance loss. Fortunately we never reached that point, but good to know it's different from what we would have done lol.

[@davidspangler2887]

I should add that the beauty of this game and the delight at seeing it finally out was the main thing I experienced. It's a well-done video, one of the best in outlining a game. And what I couldn't hear, I can discover in the rulebook.

[@JimDavies42]

Lol I just did a double take at 17:11 when Lacie called science "unsettled". :) Someone needs a vacation. Or snacks. Hmm.. Definitely snacks.

[@laceyjfaught]

You know me so well.

[@mechanteanemone]

This video is very useful and fun. And the game is awesome!

[@chrisbeswick479]

This helped clarify the rulebook misprint of group trust change for support and recover actions, thanks!

[@Draud]

By watching this veideo I gainned 2 Focus and 1 endurance but my Patience skill turned into Impatience one ...

[@robinisomaa]

Watched this as I unboxed the game. I've rarely been this excited try a game! Also, the artwork is great and the trays are genius.

[@texaswarcraftplayer]

This was easily the best how to break down video ever!!! Super excited to get this game going!! ❤️

[@PatrickKerwin]

The panic screaming at 33:10 is my favorite part! Please make these sounds downloadable sound effects (you know you want to). 😉

[@lvl50bandit]

This is so good! This was so highly anticipated and you guys nailed it!

[@dicegoeswild]

Thanks a lot for such a perfect guide! Sure, it will help me to understand the gameplay much better :)

[@AlCann-x6i]

Funny hearing Lacey's voice, while at the same time watching Jared's arm on the screen! Great video!

[@alanhow2441]

Excellent play through. Orange Nebula is a company that is on great form. Vindication now Unsettled. Wow!

[@DieKastens]

Copy has arrived. Time to read the rules and watch this video again to get detailed comprehension and the final breakthrough on how we can survive.

[@Jueglar]

i like the way you explain everything nice and clearly easy to understand keep up the good work.

[@NGCAnderopolis]

Just got mine today! Looking forward to try it!

[@raypecquet9923]

Great video but now I'm not sure I want to open my box and attempt this yet.

[@Andy_Quest]

I feel like I might be learning to play my new favourite board game. 😍 Honestly it looks incredible and this is a brilliant vid! 👌🏼👏🏼🙌🏼 Can’t wait for my copy to arrive! 📦

[@Andy_Quest]

It just turned up today… I could not be more excited for this one. The unboxing alone blew me away. You guys, once again, have absolutely smashed it! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 #fanboy #seeyouattheoutpost ⛳️🛖🌎🌒

[@donaldxavier2056]

Mine finally came in the mail so I attempted to play it over the weekend. Learning board games is a skill I do not have. Hurray for "how to play" videos.

[@WendyGa]

That was very slick and in depth. Thanks so much for putting it together. I'm now totally *mumble mumble* to win at not dying!

[@robynarmstrong7867]

Never has a How to Play video got me so excited about a game before. Watched it after reading the rule book and it definitely clarified a few things. I feel like I am gonna die quite a lot to start. So happy I went ALL IN :D

[@Ismael-995]

Thinking the same!!!! Its perfect :)

[@IosifStalin2]

Super…looking forward to doing this solo and then as a group

[@christophersmith1727]

What’s the song? It sounds so beautiful and it somewhat reminds me of the final zone in the last FF14 expansion…it’s giving me the feels all over again.

[@Muageto]

Great video. So much more enjoyable than reading a rulebook, however good it might be :D Question : how many takes did you do to get that "3 data" Lacey ?

[@Muageto]

Also, can't wait to play now that I know how to ... Hopefully in a few days, during the week-end

[@JaredLingle]

@@Muageto We did two full takes of the sample turn. On the second run through she rolled a three. Thank God she couldn't use that extra data to power up the tractor beam...

[@davidspangler2887]

I hope captions will be added to this. Being partly deaf, had a hard time following this. Frustrating! But wonderful to finally see this!

An excellent idea!

[@davidspangler2887]

[@saltdroid]

Nice!

[@jazepi]

I went all in and have more than 1 full pack of sleeves left, both sizes. My only "complaint" so far is fitting all the tokens in the planet boxes with sleeved cards. With the variance of tokens in each planet some don't seem to fit "properly" and just have a few tokens extra on top of the tile cards- does this sound right? Can't wait to play.

[@crushingit5128]

Is this going retail around the same time KS orders are shipped? Or is it needing an extra year for more printings?

[@andrewlupp8596]

Best how to play video evah! ❤

[@sambalmatahasli]

i cant wait to play this! looks awesome. Lets explore

[@玩物喪志-v5w]

Hello sorry I think some rules still not very clear to me. If each player only gets a deck of 3 distress cards, how will you ever get to 5 or 6 distresses....can you elaborate a bit further? In addition, are there any limits on how many breakthrough or "specimens" you can carry (that resolves following an opportunity) or you can only keep one?

[@OrangeNebula]

Great questions! You add 3 distress to the distress deck for each player. (6 distress in a 2p game, 9 distress in a 3p game). There is one distress deck that all players share. The number of breakthroughs you have is limited by the number of comprehension slots you have. The number of discoveries is unlimited. Hope this helps!

Well, even with a German rulebook there is tons of English text on the cards. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I certainly gained insight and comprehension by watching this video.

[@philippstockmann8598]

Thank you very much. One question: What about the order of play? Does each player have to play one after the other or can a player make double turns. If not, can the order of each round be varied or is it permanent? Thanks for the feedback!

[@Tmdynamic663]

Very interesting looking game. Are there any plans for a german version of the game?

[@RedTheCrimson]

Love this music. Where can we get it?

[@jeremyjedlicka1473]

I was excited to play this game, but watching this video, it seems super involved and complicated to explain to other people. This will really limit the people willing to play it with me. 45 minutes for a great video like this to explain how to play means it will take over an hour for me to explain.

@@OrangeNebula thanks again

[@Jueglar]

i thou if you didn't take the discovery it poofed? how was he able to get it on his turn if you found it?

[@JaredLingle]

When taking the Investigate action, a colored "Moment Marker" is placed on that map node to indicate that there is an Opportunity/Discovery there. A Discovery remains on its Opportunity card until someone on the same map node as the Opportunity performs the necessary action to acquire it. However, there can only be two active Opportunities at once, so if we had investigated a third, the first Opportunity we found would be abandoned. Hope this helps!

[@orangetoucan148]

How can I get this amazing soundtrack (Shazam could not find it)? Would love to play this game with music like that.

[@steelbeard151]

So... I heard nothing about coming back from unconsciousness. Does this mean you can't? So conscious teammates have to drag the unconscious ones back to the Scarab in order to win? Also, although your explanation of how to play was very good, it sounds like I need to have a PhD in order to play this game. One more thing... I watched the previous teach/how to play video from a year ago, and looks like before you didn't have to rest on your turn. Now you have to use one of your cubes to rest every turn? That seems like a big change and a big loss of player choice. Why the change?

[@JaredLingle]

Indeed. There is currently no way to return from unconsciousness. If you play with the optional Scarab ability that restores an endurance to a player you could delay it though. Also your friends do not "need" to carry your body back to win, it's still a mixed success if some of the explorers make it off the planet. If choice is something you are concerned about protecting than never fear. The choice of where to place your focus die is only one of the many decision considerations you will make every turn. Right now while using 2 aspects of your focus, the other is 'recharging' so to speak. In regards to the PhD requirement, astrophysics is a great start. Any experience in astrobiology or aberrant cosmology would be a big plus. For real though, in our teach and play video last year you can see Lindy, someone who rarely ever plays board games, figure it out. Since then we have played several home games together and now she has a confident handle on the mechanics. I've even seen Facebook posts of people subjecting their 12 year old kids to our cosmic death traps and surviving. Best of luck not perishing.

[@steelbeard151]

[@socialmediawithlaceyj]

Second!

[@icevariable9600]

It's really frustrating when game tutorials go into minute detail of all the components of the game without showing them in action. So by the time the viewer gets to actually see the game in action, we're supposed to remember what ALL of the components do. I hate this so much. It would be nice if videos first gave the overall concept of what the players' goal is, which you did...interspersed among a bunch of other content. Then show set up. Then show game play that depicts using components of the game as they are needed. Shooting a fire hose at us of all the ancillary component actions first is just overwhelming. I'm 17 minutes in and I still don't know how the game works. You don't even talk about Movement, a primary, fundamental part of the game, until 20 minutes in. You explain things like distress, which are results of movement, BEFORE you explain movement and game play. Your core Rules booklet is 27 pages long. And it's not possible to follow the video and the Rules at the same time, as both hop all over the place; they don't compliment each each other. I have three planets and would HAPPILY buy all new planets that come out, but at this rate, trying to learn the game just sucks. Come on guys, you can do better.

[@OrangeNebula]

Thanks for taking time to give your perspective. Everyone learns differently and we’ll use your advice to get better in future videos. ✨

Nice video, but not the best rules explanations. Sorry :( In many moment in this video it's just rules overview, not explanation.

[@AlaskaGuy71]

Video helped a lot. Some feedback though: The constant music in the back ground was very distracting and actually annoying to the ears. Everyone here in the room is cringing from the music. Maybe if you're going to have 'theme' music turn it down just a smidge so it's not overriding your dialogue!

[@ZebraCatfish73]

Lol I’m reading the comments and “RedTheCrimson” says “Love the music, where can I get it”? Personally I didn’t even notice there was music in the background. Lol I guess everyone is different!

[@Popm3lon]

Music is frustratingly loud and repetitive. Makes the entire teach feel like wading through mud.
