Putting the setup at the end makes a lot of sense. You avoid having to talk about pieces that mean nothing to the player yet. "Put the garble-garble tiles next to the garble-garble deck".

I've spotted at least ten things we did completely wrong from this video and it makes sense that I thought GWT was kind of meh now.

Best in the business. This game has a lot going on to the point where I took the opportunity to leave the rules explanation 15 minutes into it to even out the games at a game night. I was tired, the game was *daunting*, and it wasn't exactly being explained clearly. I ended up making the game 3p and moving to the table of 2p to make that game 3p, so no one was upset by this. With that said, even being somewhat attentive tonight I'm having trouble trying to keep track of everything going on here. I'm not shy to heavier games, I'm pretty decent at Brass: Birmingham as an example, but this just seems like a lot. I'm watching this with the intent to learn it in-case I play it in the future and you're easily the best rules explanation channel every single time. Thank you.

Great vid. Well done. At 17'50" you say "If you are the first there (on a side track) you can choose to staff the station by trading one of your workers for the station tile". You don't have to be the first there. You can trade your worker for the station tile as long as it is available. Another player can be the first one to place his disc (upgrade the station), but doesn't have a worker to trade in for the tile. So if you reach the side track later, you can still trade your worker to get the station tile, despite you not being the first player to reach the side track. It is also allowed to stop at the side track and do nothing. This avoids other players to gain the present station tile. In next turn(s) you could move your engine forward and back again (auxiliary action) and reach the side track again and then upgrade and trade in the worker for the station tile. But you are not allowed to trade in a worker for a station tile if you didn't place your disk in the same turn to upgrade the station. At 20'03" when explaining the extraordinary delivery, the second side track station tile is already replaced by an engineer, but there is no disc at that station. So there has been an illegal move. :-) It's a fun game. I've played it 42 times now, four of them with the expansion. Played the base game 9 times solo by using the Specialized Automa cards from BGG, and with the expansion once solo (latest version of the cards).

Yes, it's a good point, and i caught that while i was reviewing the video, but it seemed so minor, i didn't bother correcting it. i thought "in what universe would you NOT staff a station if you reached it first?" i didn't even consider the strategy of blocking the station so no one else can have it. A great point! And good catch: re that staffed station with no disc. After the video was shot, that player was caught red-handed and escorted off the premises.

I think I've found 4 mistakes in this video: 1. At 3:47, you say that "spaces with black corners can only take discs with black corners", while it's the other way around - discs from spaces with black corners can only be placed onto a space with black corners. 2. At 18:36, it's 3 VP for every two purple ribbons, not every purple ribbon. 3. At 19:23, you don't get points, you get dollars. 4. At 27:58, you say that you can start with your cowman on any space of the board, while it has to be a neutral building tile. Otherwise, really good video!

Excellent video. Informative and entertaining. Sorry, just one minor correction. At 3:47, you mention, "... spaces with black corners will only take discs with black corners." Technically, spaces with black corners can take discs with either white corners or black corners. This is indicated by the black and white dashed (circle) line in those spaces. It's just that in most games, usually it's better to unlock black discs (because they are so much more powerful) into those spaces over the white discs.

@NightsAroundaTable 5 жыл бұрын
Good catch, Mark! i should have said "discs with black corners can only go on cities with black corners," instead of 'black-cornered cities can only accept black-cornered discs." Reflexive error! i've updated the video addenda on the site, added a card, and given you a shout-out. :)

Very good video in terms of learning rules. My only comment would be to think about leaving out the "diseased blanket" one-liner. Even by the mid to late 19th century, with most indigenous people severely on the back foot, I'm certain they had many trade goods of value to offer. Certainly, trade was of incredible importance to the French and British in the Great Lakes region throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. The relationship may have become one-sided, accurately represented in GWT, but this was far from the case until rapid Western expansion after the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. The disclaimer at the beginning is fine, the one-liner not so much.

I apologise wholeheartedly, I can see now that the Americans receive 4 dollars for GIVING the blankets, rather than my thought that it meant that was all that the indigenous people had to GIVE (because that’s what they’d been given). I can retract my comment if that is possible, or post a new one clarifying. This is solely to do with the game, and how the relationship is often talked about, but I do think it’s a general issue reducing an act like trade to a one-way interaction (hazard) that has to be dealt with - it fails to highlight the important reciprocal nature between peoples, and the fact that it more often than not was the indigenous people “receiving the dollars” (because they had the item perceived more valuable). Glad they addressed it in the 2nd Edition, although just getting rid of them probably was the easy way out! @@NightsAroundaTable

I was dozing off repeatedly while watching the video...first it looked interesting...Then it started to sound so difficult and confusing that i dozed off...Only to be shaken out of my slumber a moment later... I have recently bought Maracaibo so I thought of peeking through the other hit by same designer...but this one doesn't seem to be going in my head...

@@NightsAroundaTable You just can't defend that it's a sickening joke. And on Indigenous Peoples' Day no less, what irony. I'm a Shawnee. Those things actually happened to my forefathers. Their tribe's genocide shouldn't be made light of. Just hurts a lot to hear it in places that are supposed to be inclusive and friendly, like a board game community. Has no place here.

It’s not a one-size-fits-all objection. But if you use the term here in Canada, you’ll be swiftly and sternly corrected.

Very confused, why do you mistakenly call "indians" cattle in the video. And i don't feel u should repeat Phister's insensitive mistake throughout your video. I don't think we'd be thrown off if u used the word native american. This video is very well done, except i had to stop when showing my gaming group cause of the cringe induced by the wording.

It's a jokey callback to my two nomenclature clarifications earlier in the video ("cows" for "cattle" and "indians" for "Native Americans")

@@NightsAroundaTable Right... but you identify it as insensitive... and then proceed to jokingly use it almost as if you figured... well the game uses it so now's my chance to be bigoted for free for a whole video because it's more clear that way. So, what clarity was I suppose to get out of the end? That your bigoted jokes aren't funny or that they are?

@@myles6557 The joke is the callback to using a misnomer, not the misnomer itself. Since the rulebook uses the word "Indians" throughout, and i'm trying to teach the game to people so that they can more easily play it themselves, i decided to stick with the term they could actually find in the rulebook. There's no instance of "Native Americans" in the rulebook, and so calling them that could lead to confusion. These videos aim for clarity, not confusion. Second, if you want to get all woke on me, it might serve you to learn that certain indigenous groups have no problem with the word "Indian" to describe them, and that certain other groups object to being called "Native Americans" because colonization is built into the term. It's not a monoculture. So you can do your own research and call them Cherokee or Kaw or Osage (or Pawnee since they have tipis) or whatever else you think suits. The amount of territory covered by a cattle drive from Texas to Kansas City spans the stomping grounds of a number of different bands/tribes. Or better yet, give a bunch of them a call and ask what term they'd prefer you to use while you play your obscure niche German-designed board game, so that you personally don't offend them... if you think that will clear your conscience? Third, if you're actually asking me whether or not i intend for people to find the jokes i tell funny, please always err on the side of "yes."

Indigenous peoples’ acceptance of that moniker is highly regional. It’s best not to assume, and instead to just ask someone what they prefer to be called.
