Great informative and well paced video! Thank you

[@Briellasaerialteaching]

Thanks for the great video, Just a few questions. How many cards can you place down on your turn? Can I place a card in the mountain and my feild in the same turn? Can I place 2 or more of the same cards on top of eachother either in the field of the mountain in the same go?😃

Excellent rules vid.

Thanks so much!

Great review Paul.

[@thediceyreview]

Thanks so much Ruby!

I get why the rule about not playing your last card to a field exists so, logically, that rule wouldn't apply to the building a mountain action. In other words, you'd absolutely be allowed to play your last card to build a mountain since you will not have zero cards at the end of the turn; you'll draw three cards. Right?

[@thediceyreview]

Yes you’re absolutely correct!

[@greginfla7211]

Perfect, thank you Question new to your channel. What is the difference between how-to video, a walkthrough, and a review? thanks

[@thediceyreview]

So typically a Walkthrough and How to play are the same thing. This one is titled How to Play so I’ll change that as it’s a bit confusing with how I name everything else. These types of videos just show how the game is played. The reviews I do (every now and again) are where I tell my thoughts about a game and if I like it.

Thank you

I think subastral was inspired by this game. Very similar scoring mechanism

[@thediceyreview]

That’s awesome! I’ll have to check that one out.

[@bushdudeandre]

what happens if there is a draw on the fields of the two players?

[@dagorladderbyram8199]

From the rulesheet: Starting with the player who played the most cards in their Field, the players take alternating turns to choose one of the colors present in the Mountain of the just-completed Mandala. If both players have the same number of cards in their Field, the player who did not play the last card into the Mandala chooses first.

wow, you are going way to fast and things are just not making sense, I advise you explain thing at a slower pace

[@simonb9898]

If only you could rewatch the video over and over until it makes sense!

[@Kojimalosophy]

@@simonb9898 or maybe just learn how to pace some script a tutorial video better so you can get more views and subscribers

[@nedeljkodukic7279]

English is my third language and I did not see any issues with the explanation. I would need to rewatch it because I can't remember every detail after seeing it once. In terms of rule comprehension, the guy did a good job. Like the person above said, it's a recorded video. Pause or rewind as needed until you get it.
