How to Play 7 Wonders Duel: Pantheon

[@marcinsven6016]

I don't believe you got just 500 views. Very well explained, good visual explanation, thank you for this! Let's try our first Pantheon game! :)

[@killiancoakley]

Excellent instructional video. One of the best I've seen on youtube.

[@PatrickKerwin]

I’ll second that.

[@AmikoEz]

Minerva card explanation is wrong. Opponent player immediately stops moving and does not continue his remaining moves granted by the shield.

[@halilkardicali7738]

Great job explaining the expansion! :) Now I'm excited to play with it!!

[@knahevol]

The explanation and visuals of the board/card setup are the best, better than the other video on youtube

[@tolkienfan4ever]

Hi, Ryan! I'm pretty sure your 7 Wonders Duel video was what originally brought me to your channel. I've yet to purchase or play Pantheon but someday, when the price is right, I plan to do both. I am a HUGE fan of the base game. It was the first true board game purchase I made and that was less than a year ago. I've bought a lot more since then. Keep up the awesome work. Really enjoying your Board Game 101 series and all the discussion on Discord. Take care.

[@NightsAroundaTable]

Thanks so much! i'm amazed you haven't sprung for Pantheon yet. i'm like that with Roll for the Galaxy: Rivalry, but it's so much more expensive than the base game!

[@billable1861]

Which board games have you bought in addition to this one? I have spirit island and that’s it for now but I’m trying to find a good solo game and a good two player game. This seems like a good two player game.

[@Sweatofothers]

Super nice explanation, very helpful. Also nice job on the production!

[@davestockton]

Great video. Really helped understand some of the aspects that are not covered well in the rule book. Thanks!

[@thiagop3519]

Excelent video!! I was looking for "how to play Agora expansion, but didn't find it in your channel

[@NightsAroundaTable]

i bought my copy of Agora long ago, and still haven’t played it!

[@Aannon]

Best explanation of an excellent expansion. Well done!

[@chrissafarik8829]

Great video, this helped me learn how to play. I really enjoyed your easy to follow style. Thanks for the content!

[@NightsAroundaTable]

Thanks, Chris!

[@xarim4769]

This is one of the few video that actually explain the game, thanks!

[@ViswaVirinchi]

Corrections: 1) Nisaba doesn't "steal" a symbol but merely copies it. 2) Minerva doesn't -1 a shield, it ends your movement for the turn if you encounter minerva.

[@NightsAroundaTable]

Thanks, ViswaVirinchi! i already have a Card in place to point out the Minerva error, but i've added one in the Nisaba section to point to the site Addenda (giving you credit for the spot!)

[@carolburns1581]

@@NightsAroundaTable A card in place? Is there some kind of corrections video?

[@NightsAroundaTable]

@@carolburns1581 KZbin is very stringent with its remedies for errors in videos. The way i choose to handle it is to use their "Cards" system to alert viewers to errors. (Cards are those pop-ups that you sometimes see at the top right of the video window.) i use cards to link out to the game's addenda section on the NAaT website. So at the point where i flub a rule, you should see a Card that links you here: nightsaroundatable.com/2020/02/04/how-to-play-7-wonders-duel-pantheon-expansion/#7wondersduelpantheonaddenda Of course, i would much prefer to be able to correct the video and upload it in this video's place, but KZbin doesn't allow that (unlike any other social media site on the internet). Sigh.

[@sjoerdreitsma8348]

Excellent video man! Thank you for the instructions, this is gonna be so much fun!

[@simonmorriss1346]

Really good tutorial. Very clear and concise. Thanks very much

[@AhJong0]

Really helpful video. Just found myself in a BGA tourney that is using Pantheon and other expansion. Need to know how to play - and now I do 😅

[@scottmccloud2894]

Thanks for the Minerva clarification - the rules made it read like the Conflict pawn loses all of its movements upon first contact with Minerva.

[@scottmccloud2894]

I see in this comment thread - the video is wrong. I can find no official FAQ on this card.

[@NERD-ROBOT]

@@scottmccloud2894 I noticed that too. Says movement ends in the rule book!

[@rholford1982]

When talking about mythology tokens for the a grand temples you say that you get them in Age II but I thought the mythology tokens are Age I and the offering tokens are Age II. Also as someone mentioned below the rule token clearly says the mythology tokens should be flipped once placed so that players can see what they are aiming at

[@CG_Hali]

[@subhayanthakurta3959]

Came here to understand effect of Isis. Please explain if I can take a technology card from discard and build a wonder using Isis. If i already have the other pair of the tech card, can I take masonry or architecture, or strategy from the five green tokens on the board?

[@NightsAroundaTable]

No - you don't get the effect of the card you pull from the discard pile. It's a "dumb," face-down card that you slip under your new wonder, and you construct that wonder without paying any other cost. You might want to choose a card that you don't want your opponent to get when he/she uses Hades or the Mausoleum.

[@NightsAroundaTable]

[@lifeduringwar]

Glad you have a video on this (:

[@MrAryanthaker]

At 3:30 explanation is wrong. You should revel all the placed mythology token, after placing them face down on the arranged deck, immediately before the same starts and not when the underlying card is faced up by the player in its round.

[@NightsAroundaTable]

Thank you! i've added a Card that links to the Addenda section on the NAaT website for this video.

I am Brazilian, my English is not perfect, but your explanations were very good, congratulations and thank you

[@baileymickb324]

So I'm a bit confused on the new wonder that lets you activate and reorder. If we're in age 2 or above or even age 1 after some time, won't the reshuffle effect and in an sense the selection and activation of god effect be hindered? After age 2 there's already 1 god out of the set of 3 on the god track and no reason to reshuffle right? Maybe I'm misunderstanding this?

[@baileymickb324]

Actually I think this makes more sense once I read some other examples and came back and listened again. It basically acts as a door gate card that can be activated at any age with reshuffle potential.

[@NightsAroundaTable]

Glad you got it!

[@alberini79]

[@stoccorodolfo]

Great video

[@capofelix]

I don't understand the NEPTUNE card, when you say discard it without "doing the thing" and then choose another and discard it and "do the thing" ... excuse me, but can you please be more clearer this options? thx

[@NightsAroundaTable]

"The thing" is whatever the conflict token lets you do, which is to make one player or the other lose x coins (where x is 2 or 5). So get rid of one token, and no one loses coins for it. Then get rid of a second token, and someone loses coins. Hopefully you've played it so the person not losing coins is you, and the person losing coins is your opponent.

[@salmanqaisar7377]

How is your expansion video twice the length of the base game video?! Thanks anyway!

[@NightsAroundaTable]

Watch it and find out!

[@salmanqaisar7377]

@@NightsAroundaTable I did and its excellent as usual. But sending a 12min video to my friends is a harder sell than the wonderful 5min video for the base game. Just some feedback for you to consider for rules videos. We defo want them to be comprehensive, but as short as possible without sounding like your being fast-forwarded! Regards as always, Salman

You're kidding... that original 7 wonders duel instructional was fantastic. Daresay... better than our beloved Rodney Smith.

[@majormoody]

awesome explanation. gonna play now! can you say "they" for singular player instead of "he/she" in future videos? thanks!

[@nuuqbgg]

Don't want to nitpick, but when you setup tokens gave down in age 1 you flip them face up. Makes better strategic sense.

[@NightsAroundaTable]

You’re right, and while it’s not in my script, i discovered the error while i was editing, and subsequently took great pains to Photoshop each of the tokens in face-up after they’re dealt out! Don’t tell me you didn’t notice? :\

[@nuuqbgg]

I rewatched it and it's not clear to me what you think. Check it out again. 3:11-3:30. Still great explanation, brought Duel back to the table. Sorry if I'm missing something.

[@NightsAroundaTable]

Bah! i thought we were talking about the offering tokens in Age II. You’re right, of course. Let me add an addendum card.

[@shelby142]

Lol I just opened this and learned to play yesterday xD

[@NightsAroundaTable]

*shakes fist, screams at sky* i was TOOOO LAAAATE!!!

[@Physiology-E-Paathshala]

On a scale of 10 how much do u think this expansion 1. Enhances the experience of the base game 2 . Is an essential buy

[@NightsAroundaTable]

Hmmm.... this is all entertainment, so technically none of it is an "essential" buy. i'd say (without having played the Agora expansion) that if you love the game, but find it's getting stale or samey, Pantheon is a nice shot in the arm for sure. i bought it too early, like most expansions.

[@Extremoo]

In my rules, it says that the godcards are only avaliable in age 3

[@Extremoo]

Maybe its a translation error! Fuck

[@Physiology-E-Paathshala]

I think god cards are just an extension of powers of wonders cards....

[@NightsAroundaTable]

The interesting thing is that they give you another option on your turn beyond buying/juicing a card from the array, or building a wonder. And since the game is all about forcing your opponent to take (or not take) certain cards, having that extra option is a total game-changer.

[@daleprather3026]

You might be a better teach than Rodney. I hope he doesn't read this. Love you both :)

[@NightsAroundaTable]

This town’s big enough for the two of us!

[@deanlcsw]

Hi. Great tutorial, but I think you are incorrect on two points: 1. You said the Minerva token has your opponent “bounce” for one and then continue. The game instructions say the token “stops moving and its movement ends.” This would end your opponent’s turn, not allowing them to continue until next time. 2. You said that Nisaba “steals” the science symbol. This would imply that your opponent no longer has that symbol from their card and you get it. The instructions say that once you place the token it is “worth” that symbol for you. I don’t see “steal.” This looks more like “copy.” Thanks for the video. The rule book is terribly unclear.

[@NightsAroundaTable]

Thanks! You're correct about both of those errors, but they've both been captured in the errata section for this video, and are called out using cards during the video. Did you not see them? (KZbin doesn't provide much recourse for "fixing" problems in videos post-upload, unfortunately, so this is how i've chosen to deal with it.) nightsaroundatable.com/2020/02/04/how-to-play-7-wonders-duel-pantheon-expansion/

[@deanlcsw]

@@NightsAroundaTable Thank you for your prompt reply. I went back and watched again, but I don’t see any corrections using cards. Perhaps I’m not looking in the right place. I must admit, I only watch KZbin when I need to and may not know where to look :-) Thanks again for posting this video. The enclosed rule book is absolutely terrible and this tutorial was very necessary.

[@Arjay82]

I love 7 Wonders Duel, but this really doesn't seem like it adds enough to be worth $25 bucks. The art is gorgeous though.

[@NightsAroundaTable]

It depends on how much 2-player only gaming you do. It's one of the best explicitly 2p games i own!

According to who - your minister in Minnesota? There are a few commonly accepted ways to say that non-English name in English... BALE is one of them. BALL and BAH-ALL are others.

[@vampiredarkdragon]

You explanation of Zeus, Neptune, and Minerva are slightly wrong. Zeus will gain you any token on the discarded card. Neptune can take both tokens in front of you, discarding one and inflicting the other on the opponent. Minerva stops all movement.
