[@BeforeYouPlay]

Have you tried Moonrakers? Please let us know what you think! 🚀🌙

[@Projected1]

I have the base game and we love it. We Can’t wait for these expansions :)

[@BeforeYouPlay]

@@Projected1 Great to hear that!

[@LucasWolfox]

One of my favorite games, got a friend hooked he bought a copy for himself. Excited for Titan!

[@David-pi1zt]

A buddy of mine recently bought the Titan box of this and after reading the rules we were lost. We watched this video and soon after felt like pros. Thanks for the video! Negotiation is not usually my cup of tea, but for whatever reason it worked for me in this game, so much so that I would recommend it.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

That is awesome! So glad the video was helpful!! :-)

[@PRC533]

We backed the original campaign and absolutely love the game, so much that we bought a second copy to give to a friend. Very excited for the expansions.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

That’s awesome! We’re excited to film our video with the expansions!!

[@olloplays]

I... Did not realize... That Moonrakers was that huge. Why did I think this was a small game? 🤣 Thank goodness you did a run through because I would have never known. But also what a stunning game.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Haha yeah it’s full sized! They did a great job with the aesthetics of this game. IV Studios is also an animation studio, so they have really good artwork.

[@SteveRB511]

Very nice overview, playthrough, and discussion of the expansions. (You guys always do a great job in explaining games.) I'm now looking forward to the Kickstarter. Thank you!

[@derekmirdala2060]

Hey guys! Negotiations around contract payments absolutely ARE binding. (3:40 mention in video) See p.22 rules: [Players must honor the negotiated terms] Players may lie about how well they can or will attempt to fulfil the contract, but upon contract success, any agreed to terms must be met!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Hi there, yes that is what we are referring to when we mention non-binding. Rewards absolutely are binding, if not nothing would get done in the game lol. 😂

[@Shot007]

i like this one round play format.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Thanks! We plan on doing a full play with 3 players so that we can show off the expansion! (requires 3 to use it)

[@benjamindebetencourt1526]

Nice overview ! I like the look of it !

[@davidcrafting5607]

J ai le jeu depuis une bonne année et je n ai malheureusement pas eus la chance d y jouer à trois et plus. J ai donc bien hâte de regarder votre gameplay dans quelques semaines. J ai heureusement maintenant un groupe dédié aux jeux de société. Une belle gang de crinqué! Je vais probablement contribuer au socio financement de toutes les expension s à venir. Beau jeu plein de qualités! Merci de nous partager vos vidéos. Je les trouve clair et instructif mais surtout relaxants.

[@mr_boom105]

This game looks awesome!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Yeah!! The makers of the game also run an animation studio so they have an excellent eye!

[@JurassicMoose]

Backed the original Kickstarter and it quickly became my favourite game. Definitely backing the next Kickstarter 😁

[@JoeDierkes]

I got Moonrakers last week, played it twice, and have had a blast! I can't wait for the expansions, and I have already ordered Veiled Fate to try that out, too!

[@coyotemoon722]

I liked the concept of this game a lot. I think it's I had a regular bigger group to play with it would be a hit

[@Big_Dai]

This reminded me a lot of CONTROL.. specially with the metal coins. Completely I have that game somewhere.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

I don’t think we know that title, will definitely have to check it out!!

[@Thesussysuscat]

That piano outro though

[@BeforeYouPlay]

😘

[@nicholasgrisham3421]

I wish you guys would zoom in on the cards. And show the stuff as you encounter them

[@michaelsoria9605]

Interesting game, nice overview 👌. I don't have the game but I'd love to grab one copy of the base game, do you know the actual weight (kg) of the base game? There is no info about it 😔. I need to know that for shipping to my country.

[@shinjial]

This game seems pretty great. Everytime I see it I wish I could play it. Sadly, my gaming group consists of 2 people lol. I don't think it'd be quite as engaging for us this way.

[@jonseay8887]

exactly how I feel.

[@Ztrawbz]

There's a bit of a problem in our games where one person usually does really well just on their own, then they're ahead so no one will team up with them. It kinda breaks the game and the importance of negotiation when it's easy to do contracts on your own, also becomes boring for that player who doesn't get to be involved in interactions

[@martonferenci]

I'm still on the fence about Moonrakers - maybe if there is an option to get other games like Veiled Fate a la Mindclash, I might consider backing the new campaign - it seems more fun with the expansions.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Hope they offer some sort of bundle like that!

[@valentinbecerra8133]

♥️U hi from Argentina 😬

[@Eihcra96]

Okay this game looks AMAZING. I need to somehow get it here in India lol

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Hopefully the KS campaign will say they ship there!! 🇮🇳

[@JonTripp115]

I wonder who the mystery guest will be? Maybe Paula? Maybe Austin from IV Games? Hmm...

[@Totihno]

3 player playthrough? Is someone from WiP gang guest starring maybe :).

[@Jason-Moon]

No cardboard coins ay. Chunky!

[@ScytheNoire]

I'd be more interested if this played well at 2 players. But everything others have said, it doesn't.

[@demanknght6944]

Love the game but its like 20-30 mins to long at times. Lots of fun negotiating and back stabbing. No neoprene playmats? Oh for shame. Lol.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

The negotiations get real interesting at the mid-way point in the game. The binding ties expansion adds on to the negotiations too! Not sure what else will be included in the campaign, I believe a big box set.

[@demanknght6944]

Hopefully they will have something for us folks that have the original kickstarter. Roll player did that where they added a Big box you could add in if you already had things. I had backed these guys on a number of things.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

@@demanknght6944 That would be sweet!

[@gaarlefrogi]

This game is really not my cup of tea. Too long for whst it offers. Too random contract draws, especially at the beggining of the game. Finally the negotiation system where you need to wait for some players to finish their nego, just to see, that the player who offered help, was only bluffing. Its just very wierd mechanism imho. Again, if it was a 30-45 min game, I wouldnt mind,but its muuuuch longer

[@Wylie288]

Honestly thats a house rule. Like the negotiations, you do what you say you were going to try to do.

[@kurnte]

I hope the third player for the next playthrough is dog

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Haha maybe he'll be the 4th! 🐶
