I love your Learn While Playing series. I know this approach to teaching games doesn't work with every game. Sometimes you just need more information before you start to keep from making decisions that will ruin your chances to win. But there are many players who want to learn games this way, so it's great that you are doing such a good job of accommodating them. Keep up the excellent work.

[@GettingGames]

Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you enjoy these :)

This game looks great! I’ll have to remind my wife that my birthday is right around the corner… 😉. I like a game that just has sooo many different avenues to score points. Keeps it competitive while not beating up on one another. Thanks for another great play through. Your work is always top notch!

[@ianmak9959]

Thanks too. I did learn the game earlier this year, and this video was a really useful refresher for me, and makes it so much easier to learn for everyone!

[@notsocherry6336]

This video is brilliant! I feel like I know how to play it now! The rule book seemed overwhelming to me yesterday but I think now I can use it as quick reference. Thank you so much, Jon!

[@GettingGames]

Awesome, I'm glad you found this helpful :)

[@kubahaman9230]

Great tutorial! Love it and helped a lot after reading Czech version of rules that I didn´t understand. Thank you!

[@BaruLaz]

Thank you for making this tutorial. We were confused by the guidebook, especially one word that was strangely translated (the action "to pass"), and this video helped me understand. I had to turn your speed down a little (to 0,75), because it was too quick but I see that you need to do under one hour long video.

Your playthrough convinced me to order a copy of the game.

[@splanderson]

I love how Jon always plays much worse than the other "players" in the game :D Great video as always! Just got the deluxe Kickstarter and I'm anxious to play!

[@GettingGames]

Ha, that does seem to happen quite often doesn't it?!

[@macragge79]

Love your videos - thanks!

[@peterfleming9365]

Great play through & teach, I’m backing this!

[@Big_Dai]

Good editing, excellent explanation, correcting errors mid-video(!) and even added the BGG link. I also appreciate that you don't waste viewer's time with your demo, as you explain an available option and proceed to do it (instead of pondering and such, as if it was planned). I would only suggest working on the camera's focus.. and you'd have a perfect video. Good job! EDIT: I assume this is NOT the Deluxe version.

[@GettingGames]

I'm glad you liked this. As I mentioned at the start of the overview, this was a prototype version of the game.

[@pawnstorminreno]

This game looks awesome!

[@ryanrose8712]

I wish i had a head of hair yours! Great video as always

[@lorenzofama6043]

Great gamethrough. Backed it on Gamefound

[@Selecta84]

At around 21:00 minutes you moved the teal points marker up 2 points instead of the yellow points marker when you moved the yellow Druid up the tree.

[@GettingGames]

Good catch! I've added corrections, thanks.

[@JendersGaming]

Great game and a great video! Good jobb!

[@seanmorgan2257]

this looks really good but may have to wait for retail

[@michaelblank9597]

Hi Jon, thank You again for a great tutorial. This time I will pass on backing. The game looks great but the mechanisms are not that new. Looking forward to Your Tidal Blades 2 turtorial.

[@pierrewhite2062]

Looks fun. Have you changed your camera setup recently?

[@GettingGames]

I bought a new camera almost exactly 1 year ago, is there a particular reason you ask?

[@alexandrelegrand4160]

hi ! what an excellent explanation ! Beautiful work, congratulation ! i ve a question : what happens if i promote a druid which is on a resting place for normal druid and i ve no free resting place for this elder druid ?

[@GettingGames]

Glad you enjoyed it :) Unfortunately, it's been too long since I played this game to remember the rules enough to answer your question. Sorry about that!

[@ludwigmises]

Oak really kicks “ash”! Bet it’ll be “poplar.” I already “pine” for it. Waiting for it to hit retail is a real son-of-a-“beech.” Ok, better stop before Jon bans me for being too corny-- acorny, that is. Great play-thru as usual! Good looking game.

[@Pookiebear]

Thanks for the playthrough jon :] I think I want to like worker placement games more but it just takes me something more dynamic to get me into one. I dont know if that makes sense or I'm just a picky person haha

[@radrabbit011]

Ahh it's a round tracker but also a round tracker on a round tracker.

[@JJ_TheGreat]

34:50 Wow… That seems overpowered. Why would anyone go for any other elder, since that one is so flexible, it can do anything?!

[@GettingGames]

You only get 1 of each type, and you can only get that elder when that specific Potion is in the game so it won't always be available.

Where do I find that shirt?

[@GettingGames]

You can find it here :) jongetsgames.com/merch

[@MS-or6lc]

Thanks! I look forward to rocking the hoody version.
