Legacies Tutorial - Will your fame last centuries?

[@peteyandycreek]

Each time I see more, I'm more convinced. Love the synergies between the market, heirlooms and investments. The control over successors seems difficult, as per real life. I liked the underhanded abilities having capped effects to reign them in. Loads to love here. Was worried about getting bumped off legendary figures, but appears to be handled okay. A little cut-throat in places, but looks really fun.

[@timoseppa9124]

I went ahead and purchased it. You hooked me, Jon.

[@timoseppa9124]

Definitely intriguing. Interesting ideas.

[@TyvanTV]

Perfect timing! Right when I spent my entire wallet on Black Friday sales you make this! Fixing to search and hoping this isn’t out yet for at least another year. Great job as always Jon!

[@gavkenny]

What an interesting game. I'm so glad that I backed this now and I can't wait for it to deliver. Thanks Jon for doing this run through!

[@JonGetsGames]

CORRECTIONS: 7:29 - We must play the card we just took from the market, and that isn't the card we took. 1:22:34 - White should have paid purple 3 fame for taking their heirloom.

great Video. great Game. in my opinion you are one of the greatest youtubers. watching a Video Like this ist better then watching a movie. and it's so challenging for my mind, thats propably why you only have such a niche audience. but there are people Out there who really enjoy your content. great work

[@JonGetsGames]

Thanks so much for the kind words :) I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@jhowd78]

This is such great timing jon! THANK YOU

[@JonGetsGames]

Glad you found this one helpful Jeremy :)

[@crimsonraen]

Thanks so much for the video! Definitely a lot going on in the game, and it was great to have it all (p)layed out for us!

[@timoseppa9124]

Received my game today. Boy, was it heavy! Looking forward to trying it.

[@brett232]

This was one of the first couple of KS I backed and I’m just as excited for it as I was back then, I just hope my player group are ready hahah

[@jeffmackey2740]

Outstanding walk through. Thanks so much for putting this out. We've been really enjoying this game so far. The best feature (imho) is before the game even starts: The above board vs. Underhanded choice is genius. All underhanded characters is a VERY different game vs all above board. And having a mix of both in a given game adds just the right amount of chaos. A tough crunchy puzzle that's different every time. I hope this game gets to ma y more tables soon. The only nit pick we have is the luck of the draw aspect with successors. A minor gripe for sure, but enough of an irritation that we'll likely house rule that to draw 2 pick one or something similar going forward.

[@kimpatterson5524]

excellent job John

[@paulbadics4485]

1:34:12 Minor correction, the yellow character was choosing so him choosing as if white made no sense and hurt him badly.

[@timoseppa9124]

Jon, overall I both really enjoyed this video and you did a great job of explaining a fairly complex set of rules in a nicely digestible way. If there was one thing I wished you did, to bring out the theme even more - and you were juggling a lot - it would be to have you read more of the titles of the cards you played.

[@JonGetsGames]

Yeah, sorry for not really getting into that. I am not really a thematic gamer so I often forget to emphasize that in the videos I make.

[@simonshaw1056]

Thanks for the tutorial, as always it was most excellent. Is there any chance that you and your team would ever record a play through of this one? Your play throughs are also fun to watch, and this is one I would particularly love to see...

[@JonGetsGames]

I suppose there is a chance, though at the moment we don't have any plans to. There is certainly quite abit going on here, I agree.

[@robbendig]

CORRECTION: 7:27 - You picked up Landed a Benefactor from the market but then played Benefit Concert from your hand. Shouldn't you play the card you picked up?

[@JonGetsGames]

Good catch! I've added notes about this to the video.

[@shannonsmith7950]

Great Demo Jon, thank you. As much as i may want this game at this point its a matter of if "you snooze you lose". I missed the KS in 2019??? and now the deluxe pledge is $50 US more in pre-order. All i can say is I missed the campaign, looks like a great game, i will have bought it, both our mistakes I didnt. They should have got you to do this earlier :)

[@JonGetsGames]

They reached out to me as their original campaign was ending, and decided waiting a year to have a video with the final version was better than doing one with a prototype after the campaign was over. Sorry to hear you feel like you missed the bus on this one, I don't know the pricing for the non deluxe version but I hope it's not as big of an increase.

[@shannonsmith7950]

@@JonGetsGames Thanks Jon, i can see why they waited if they were in prototype state. \\ they must have knew something that needed to be fixed. Thats great. However they missed a chance, theres a community that only makes a decision after your fun/expert/3-personality/logical playthroughs. Side note --- Bought many games after watching your playthroughs with prototypes and retail versions, and deluxe. You are a busy man! No and sorry to both of me and them, way too expensive with the price hike to consider this.

[@iansutton7416]

@@shannonsmith7950 Hi Shannon. I know Jason Brooks has an expansion in mind for the future, so it's entirely possible that this might happen via crowdfunding alongside a reprint. Worth keeping tabs on it, and also seeing how it plays when backers get their games (this should start in the next month). If you like what you see, then perhaps best to write that extra cost off as the price of being able to wait until the game is complete, before purchasing?

[@jRoy7]

1:01:43 I think you meant 1st, 3rd, 5th generations since there are only 3 centuries?

[@JonGetsGames]

Ah, yeah I did mean generations. Good catch.

[@brazillb2]

Great playthrough. The design seems a bit too scattered for my liking but always happy to watch the vid

[@jeffhiatt1682]

nicely done on a complex game with far too many rules. i can cross this off my interest list.

[@JonGetsGames]

I'm glad you found it informative to make that decision.

[@jasonberube5882]

Is this going to retail or KS only? I didn’t back and kinda wish I did.

[@timoseppa9124]

Is this still available for order?

[@jtfike]

@@timoseppa9124 not sure. I received notice it would ship soon.

[@daveyoungdahl8349]

I think might be available through the publisher's website

[@JonGetsGames]

I'm not sure the details about getting it right now, but you should check the publisher's website linked in the description here to try and find out.

[@Skycroft1000]

1:22:10 Shouldn't the white player also pay you fame? Did I misunderstand that? Interesting game. I love the theme, and was looking forward to this on that basis. Now that I have seen it though, I find I am much less enamored with the mechanics. I would prefer if instead of having one character ability and picking a successor as a card with some effect on it, you had a selection of characters in your family that changed every generation which determined what your special power was. Overall for a game about dynastic legacies this feels weirdly lacking in character. I do like the way numbers inflate through the centuries. It's not just thematic, but also it means that the game doesn't get decided partway through when you still have an hour to go and there's always room for a last minute upset. It's the same reason so many game shows have a double point scoring final round - keeps it exciting till the end. But overall this didn't sing with me. Mostly it's just a lot of little things rather than one big thing though.

[@brookspungames]

You are correct - the white player should have also paid 3 fame to the Transportation Baron for taking their level 3 heirloom using that player card.

[@JonGetsGames]

Good catch, I've added a correction about this. Thanks!
