The candy in the bag at 9:25 for the exchange… hilarious! Great attention to detail 😂

[@stingray1666]

And then the rolled up money at 9:35! Y’all are on fire!

You beat me to it. Extra funny coming from Tarrant who seems so straight laced in video

@@MeepleUniversity I've picked up on that over the years. But this one was quite good. I would love to be so lucky as to having a game session with both of you.

There’s a lot to like here. Theme, guitar pics, amp player dial, art, Candy…..lol, but most of all in Rock n Roll you’re done at 50!?! Hilarious :)

[@MeepleUniversity]

😂🍬 indeed. Yeah 50 is too young hahaha. 😊

[@kairachann3482]

[@michaelroberts1092]

Our gaming group played this on New Years and absolutely loved your video. Especially the references to the “candy”. Very well done. We loved playing the game and your video helped tremendously. Thank you for all the work you guys do to make these how to play videos. They help quite a bit.

[@MeepleUniversity]

🙏 Thank you so much, so glad you enjoyed it. Really appreicate sharing that and leaving the feedback for us. It's a fun game like that for sure!!

[@alexisacevedo4423]

You sir, are hilarious. I caught all the references and was laughing my butt off while learning how to play. Thank you and Stella!

[@MeepleUniversity]

😆 glad we entertain you while learning 😄🙏 Tarrant is the king of deadpan lol. Thank you so much

I just got this game today. This is the best video explaining it. I went through 4 videos before I got here though

Using a rolled up dollar to push the candy lmfao I love it

Been looking forward to this game. Will have a chance to watch your full video later tonight after work. Look forward to searching for Easter eggs 🤩

Masterfully concise and entertaining rules description. Very well done, indeed! Helps to have such a thematic game to work with! Very excited for this one

[@MeepleUniversity]

🙏thank you so much. Hehe yes such a fun game to play..and did video🙏

[@yannisguerra]

Very "peculiar" way to roll the dollar to "point" to the candy😈. Apart from that, the video was very clear as your usual. Really cool that the designer decided to use her background for the game.

[@MeepleUniversity]

Hi Yannis😄 Hehehe. Thank you. Hope to see you soon at Essen

[@wedgeex]

Those are some bold and hilarious choices to show the "candy" mechanic. I thought it was awesome lol

[@MurrRockstroh]

11:05 While I happen to agree with your interpretation of the rules as written, I would like to point out over on BGG, the designer has clarified how Candy is used. She is saying that you are not allowed to take the same action twice in the same turn, that you must move to another space. Check the pinned thread for the Rules Errata and FAQ in the BGG forums. I understand your rules video was checked out by the designer and the publisher, but the fact that the rules say nothing about restricting the use of Candy in this way, and the designer saying that there is this restriction is causing a lot of confusion over on BGG. This is not your fault of course.

[@MeepleUniversity]

🙏 thank you

[@ludocraciauy]

Amazing video! And Very thematic 😅

[@MeepleUniversity]

😊Thanks so much. Haha very.... 🍬

[@heavy_dice]

Using a credit card to line up the candy tokens 😂

[@MeepleUniversity]

Hahaha

[@CountryFenderBass]

You caught that also !!! 😂

[@AeronwyD]

I had to literally stop the video, I was laughing too hard to hear anything being said!

[@MeepleUniversity]

@@AeronwyD Hahaha blame Tarrant for the jokes lol

[@区楚岷]

11:04 I don't think you can stay in the same spot and take the action twice with sugar? Rulebook P20,paragraph 1:“Additionally, while other actions may only be taken once during a given phase, Anytime Actions (other than Work) may be taken multiple times if you have extra actions available (except that you may not Work twice in the same round).” So it seems to me that only “Anytime actions” can be done twice with sugar in the same phase.

[@JackieFox1976]

Yes, this is correct. You may Hang Out more than once as long as you go to different clubs/backstage each time.

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thanks for the visit, and thank you for clarifying this Jacie 🙏

[@cyrus1469]

Pre ordered it just now

[@MeepleUniversity]

wooot!

[@sadekhanna]

We all know what the candy represents 😀 "romance, candy, rock and roll" the pg version. I'm not sure about the inclusion of blood donation though, blood wasn't as thoroughly tested back then.

[@MeepleUniversity]

😂 that's the 🍬😂. Yeah well maybe if you're really short of money, then that...😂. In one of our games, poor Tarrant was so short in money he had to do this action a few times😅

[@pixxelwizzard]

Romance, candy, and rock & roll. 🤣

[@MeepleUniversity]

😄😄🙏 That's right

[@CountryFenderBass]

Question . Can I do candy before the after hours phase and visit 2 hangouts? Also we played 9 months and neither of us had enough points to win. Can you just start the next round in April? 9 rounds seem a little short for two players. Oh wait we just recounted and missed some bonus points. I’m well over 50 at the end. BUT it does seem like if you want to keep playing just start in April again….

[@JackieFox1976]

Yes, you can use candy to visit two hangouts (as long as each is open or you otherwise have the ability to go there). However, you only get the hot hangout bonus from the last place you visit. The game is over at the end of December even if no one has reached 50 points. If someone reaches 50 points during an earlier round (not counting any fame you get from royalties during clean-up), though, the game is over at the end of that round.

[@CountryFenderBass]

@@JackieFox1976 We are having a blast playing it. Everyone says how it’s a perfect game for expansion packs, new musician cards, and add ons

[@Gurbye]

The amps go to 11 😂. Classic

[@MeepleUniversity]

You got it!! 👍😁

[@milest4214]

Will you ever do live streams again? :)

[@MeepleUniversity]

Hi Miles😍 Great question. I am not fully sure yet. Maybe occasionally, but not every weekend. 🙏. We may do it in our other channel, Meeple University Shorts and Live. Thank you!

[@chriselbers3771]

4:25 Too bad they use paper money, because there are certainly better options for this component!

[@nihlify]

I like the theme, though the candy is a bit weird. Makes you wonder if they intended for the candy to be be something else. :P

[@MeepleUniversity]

You think? 😂😂😂🍬🍬🙏

[@AeronwyD]

Did you catch how he straightened out the candy stack at 4:23? I had to pause the video to stop laughing so I could hear the rest of what was said! 🤣

[@athletic-o]

I wish you would add English subtitles to all your videos for people who are hearing impaired (the automatic captions aren't good).

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thank you so much for your suggestion! 🙏 This is a great one, just need to find out how we can do this efficiently

As a guitar player I am so sad that there's no solo mode. Would've been an instant buy.
