I wish I had been seen your video before the first time I played RFTG! I was at a gaming convention and sat down to experience the game. Me and another person were TOTALLY lost! The person who explained the game was TERRIBLE and just kept saying, "Well, what do you want to do?" I didn't KNOW what I wanted to do! In any case, I discovered later after buying my own copy that the game wasn't nearly as complicated or obtuse as I originally thought it was. Your video did a GREAT job of explaining how things happen in the game and how and why you do certain actions. SPACE BAG!!!

Hello Ryan. Have you got plans on making tutorials for Race for the Galaxy expansions?
@NightsAroundaTable3 жыл бұрын
The problem with expansion vids is that it whittles your audience down really small. Anyone can watch a base game video, but generally only people who a) own the game and b) own or are interested in a particular expansion (in this case, i believe there are five…?) will watch. i spent a lot of time and effort making videos for the Roll for the Galaxy expansions, and they have a disappointingly low view count. But if the base game views are high enough (like with this one), i may consider it. How to play Catan: Cities & Knights did very well.

What do you think of Tiny Epic Galaxies and Roll For The Galaxy? They seem to have a lot in common (Obviously TEG has taken a lot of inspiration from RollFTG), however, I do feel TEG is a lot simpler and more streamlined? I have played only TEG, but can anyone tell me which is the more satisfying and fun(not necessarily "better") game?
@NightsAroundaTable5 жыл бұрын
They feel like very different games to me, and honestly, i've never made that connection! Depsite dice! And space! i LIKE Roll, but i LOVE TEG. i think TEG has a lot more in common with King of Tokyo, which itself traces its roots back to Yahtzee (which, before being branded, was a free homebrew game called Yacht. It's turtles all the way down!). TEG has a much higher degree of player interaction thanks to racing for planets and those planetary powers, whereas Roll is multiplayer solitaire. The only real shared element in Roll is the... SPACE BAG! i like Roll, but since i prefer playing WITH people instead of NEXT to them, i'll always gravitate (SPACE JOKE!) towards games with more player interaction than less. If you're like me, you might prefer TEG to Roll. But they're both solid games. It's down to taste.

That later phases, export and shipping? And just how powers on tiles work, I'm guessing passively once in the tablu. Should probably read the manual on bgg.
@NightsAroundaTable5 жыл бұрын
@@DrDribs Every planet can have at most 1 good on it. It gets a good on it if a card gives you a produce power during the produce phase to PUT a good on itself (or another planet). You represent a good with just a face-down card. If a planet has a good, you can ship it in the shipping phase. You get either points or "money" (cards) for shipping a good off a planet. The crucial tip is that during any given phase, look at that phase on each card in your tableau, and it'll tell you if the card gives you any special abilities or benefits. So, are we doing Phase II right now? Look beside the Roman numeral II on all the cards in your tableau. Repeat for any phase that gets chosen/activated in this round.
