Last Light | 4X Board Game | Overview, Unboxing & How to Play | Grey Fox Games | Deluxe Edition

Hi
Welcome to Fun with Boxes.
This is episode 37:
Last Light designed by Roy Cannaday and published by Grey Fox Games.
Last Light is a superb full 4X game that you can play in under an hour and it has 3D planets and a cool rotating board!!!
In a game of Last Light players take on the role of Alien factions racing to control the last light in the universe.
Each turn, all players will select an action card, then all players will reveal their action card and take the actions on their cards simultaneously, exploring planets, mining for resources, gaining new technologies, and commanding fleets all while racing to the centre of a rotating board to the location of the last known white dwarf star to gather light for their civilisation to survive.
The first player to gather 20 light will lay claim to the last light in the universe and win the game.
This really is a superb game and is highly recommended !!!

Nice video thanks. However a tip for future videos: don't wear a hat because you can't see your eyes. Or at least, put a light source around you that lights your face evenly. :)

[@thefunwithboxes]

Hi. 👋 Thanks for the tip! I have just had some lights and I’m starting to experiment with them and also changed rooms where I film. Though it’s a tiny room and the lights very close to me. I will see if that works. Fingers crossed. Thanks again 🤗 take care. Phil

[@tybrewer8060]

Fantastic explanation! I'm playing with some TI4 fanatics today, I'm hoping it goes over well! Thanks for the great video!

[@thefunwithboxes]

Thank you so much for saying that. I hope your game goes well today 🤗 good luck 👍 and thanks for taking the time to leave a comment - that’s made my day now 🤗 take care

[@SteveMellors-hh4yl]

Thanks Phil, great view of the game. Really helpful instructions and overview. I love to play this mini TI game. Sounds great!!

[@thefunwithboxes]

Thanks so much Steve. Glad you enjoyed and thought it was helpful. 👍👍🤗

[@c4dreams443]

This was a great explanation of how to play, thank you. 1 small recommendation, it might've helped to have more pictures of the actions you were describing as you described them.

[@thefunwithboxes]

Hi. Thanks. And yes!! That would be much better. I need to do that. Thanks for taking the time to say that. That means so much. 👍

Hello, What resolves first/in what order when people have played command but all refresh cards are out? Regards to board and ship movement? Thanks.

[@thefunwithboxes]

Hi there. If I am reading your question right when the command cards are played it's broken down into 2 parts. First move and then after that attack. First move is done in turn order starting with the player holding the first player token and going clockwise around the board - each player moving if they wish - then when everyone has moved - the attack step happens. Then everyone who played command can attack even if they did not move their ships. The attacks however happen sector by sector and the player holding the first player token choses the order. I hope this helps you? Take care, Phil

[@sirshakletonfury4833]

@thefunwithboxes hello, what I mean is if command cards are played but all the refresh cards are also played, how does that get resolved, ie bored rotating, fights, etc.

[@thefunwithboxes]

@@sirshakletonfury4833 Hi, I see. If Refresh cards are played that round and all refresh cards are on the table, then the players who played their refresh action cards complete their refresh and claim actions as normal. Anyone who has played their command cards also resolve their Command cards as normal. Once everyone has finished their actions then the end of round happens, and as all players have refresh cards in front of them the board rotation happens and everyone takes their fresh cards back into hand. The rulebook can be a little misleading - if you read the refresh action part you can read it as that as soon as everyone has refresh cards on the table a rotation occurs - but this rotation only occurs at the end of the round - not during the action card phase. Hope this helps. Take care. Phil

All the better from hearing from you, Phil. I really love your channel, particularly the animations. We are unfortunately coming to Wales soon for a funeral. Caersws.@@thefunwithboxes

[@thefunwithboxes]

I’m so glad you like the channel. That means a lot 🥰 I love doing the stop motion but it does take hundreds of photos to do. But I hope it’s worth it. Sorry to hear you are coming to Wales for a funeral. Take care my friend and hopefully see you soon 🤗❤️
