Planet - How To Play

[@dwarrenmsp]

I'm sure this game is great, I'm just here for the box flip.

[@WatchItPlayed]

I'm glad you're here either way :)

[@Veles343]

Loving the lid twiddle at the end as well

[@doylay]

@@Veles343 I think that was the box flip that D. Warren was talking about :)

[@crisglenn788]

A special salute to the fun "flair" you've been adding to your videos (box flips, moving transitions). I won't be surprised at all when I click Play and see you do an epic somersault off the table, over the chair and stick the landing at the game shelves.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Ooo, I'll need to start practicing!

[@alekzstube]

Great to see a 3d boardgame for once.

[@dfetz3]

For anyone thinking of purchasing, Planet only takes about 20-30 minutes when you know what you're doing. Perfect first game of a game night when you want something interesting but not too difficult.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you've enjoyed this one!

[@blackbeltbird]

Thank you for your how to play videos! I found this game based on the fantastic reviews on Amazon. I watched your video prior to purchasing, to get a feel for how the game is played. It arrived today, and before playing, I watched your video again with my 9yo daughter. We played tonight, and we both understood very quickly how to play. It was fun! Your explanation was very clear, and easy to follow. My daughter won the very first game played - she was thrilled!

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad that things went smoothly! Sounds like you have a master planet builder in your household :)

[@billjensen51]

I am getting analysis paralysis just watching the video.

[@adamsarni]

Really good rules explanation as always. I bought this game for my girlfriend’s daughter (8YO) a while back and have played it with some friends and my nephew (6YO) as well. Both adults and children loved it. The variations allow for harder or simpler gameplay, which makes it more accessible and enjoyable both for little ones and adults. Its also a fun way to introduce children to different types of animals. One of the best games I’ve bought recently.

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad it's worked out for them!

[@searose6192]

What an aesthetically appealing game. Can’t wait to try this one.

[@Austin62995]

Recently bought this game, it takes a minute to figure out how to play but I love it overall. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t watch this video 100 times lol

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hey, I'm glad you're enjoying the game!

[@Lavoye]

I salivate every I look at the collection of 5E D&D books on that shelf!

[@SocratesRR90]

Really cool looking box.

[@shaanm1030]

I love how easily you describe the rules. Im saving up to buy this game! 😃

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad you've been enjoying!

[@stevepruneau6561]

This game looks crazy simple and one must resist the urge to roll those big dice ... er I mean PLANETS ;) hahaha Hope it gets a good rating, it looks like so much fun. Kudos for Blue Orange on naming this game. Awesome!

[@stigdu99]

I've only recently started getting back into board games, but your videos are incredibly useful. Thank you!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Really nice to hear Stacy!

[@jeffcarrier9808]

WOAH! I think this is a Must Buy just due to the absolute uniqueness of it...

[@martinlarouche4418]

I was interested in this game, then i played it in a con. Cool idea, but i won't buy it. At first it's neat, but then you realize you can't see your entire board all at once. It becomes hard to see what you actually have in what is essentially your 3d board. So just to look at your board, you have to constantly fiddle around to turn it to see what's behind, on top, left right, bottom, top again and ok... next turn, turn the board left, top, bottom, behind, and so on and on. At the end of a single game (that lasts around 30 minutes), i could start to feel my wrists getting a bit sore. It would start to seriously be painful after an hour doing this. Both my wife and I thought it was a cool game, but would've been better served with traditional squares or hexes on a simple 2D board. My young teen daughter found the 3D board cool, but the game itself meh. I would tend to agree with her. The game is fairly standard at the end of the day. Only the 3D boards gimmick makes it interesting... but it's an annoying gimmick in our opinion.

[@theglitchesyt]

Very helpful!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Have a great time playing!

AWESOME... GONNA BUY IT

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@SirNichosis]

I've been wondering about this game! Thanks for the great video as always! Definitely a fun looking game, love the unique planet cores.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@FrankMinogue]

Looks like a fun little game! Nice and light, good family fun. I like it!

[@karohemd2426]

OK, I thought board/play area design was just a variation of a few set types these days. This game proves that innovation is still possible. Those dodecahedrons are really clever.

[@rjba02]

Perfect timing! I was literally in the local game store staring at this very game when i got the notification for your upload. Guess i know what im buying today

[@WatchItPlayed]

I hope you have a great time with it!

[@alvinbragd2564]

Good video, really helped me understand the game

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad to hear it was helpful!

[@jamesh7876]

Thanks for the video; just got this game the other day and am planning on playing it later today. I read the rule book but I think this will help explain the game for me to the other players.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hope it was helpful!

[@Tanks.With.Teeth.Malloy]

Saw this on BGG. Looks super interesting. Can't wait to watch this tonight.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for checking it out Justin!

[@J.C._Armitage]

Those are some pretty large d12s. I wonder how well they roll. Anyways, that looks like a pretty neat game. Might have to pick up a copy whenever I get a chance (and the disposable income.)

[@NicoHolic777]

The planets' cores roll fine. I tried sticking the tiles to the core and then rolled, it blew up.

[@SamuraiFantana]

Well, that could certainly be my purchase for this month.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@jhoss0743]

Rodney, you've done it again.

[@WatchItPlayed]

I hope I did something good!

[@jhoss0743]

You've added another game to the wish list, and made me more of a game addict.

[@doylay]

I love the tactile nature of the game. Also very smart to reduce the value of the animal cards that match your natural habitat. You have to way the decision of adding pieces to your planet that match you habitat, with trying to get animal cards that don't match your habitat(to get that one point bonus). I think I'm going to hold off purchasing this for now. I think it's a little too much for my 6 year old to handle. He is currently in love with Flash Point Fire Rescue and Kingdomino(we've played twice and he won both times). I just ordered Photosynthesis. Can't wait to try it out. Also can't wait to play Pandemic with my son in a couple of years. It looks like a fantastic co-op game. Cheers

[@WatchItPlayed]

Sounds like you have quite a fun gaming partner on your hands there :)

[@giladnadler]

Loveeee this game! Thanks

[@PowPresents]

This game looks awesome! Such a cool idea.

No rabbits, huh? I'm going to send a stern letter to Frith.

[@TheQueerLeaf99]

Cool game

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@shaanm1030]

Hey Rodney, could you please suggest other games like planet that has a unique board as opposed to the conventional flat 2D boards?

[@WatchItPlayed]

I can't think of any off the top of my head, actually... but maybe someone else reading this will have some ideas.

[@LtCorranHorn]

Love your vids have really helped us play a wide variety of games. About to play this today. Any tips for 1st timers

[@WatchItPlayed]

Main tip - have fun exploring and trying different things :)

[@LtCorranHorn]

@@WatchItPlayed had 2 run through and really enjoyed he fast paced nature of the game. We have rented the game and are really considering buying it

[@Lesspics1151]

Nice video! Can you do Dice forge?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for the interest. I talk a bit about that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5XXdaisfrqUbKM&t=342

[@MrBlublo]

so does 1 triangle (which is an area) also count as a region if you are counting how many regions you have for the killer whale card?

[@WatchItPlayed]

I don't remember that specific card off the top of my head, but my memory says yes.

[@monkeyhumourfilms6429]

Question. For the cards which cannot have a region touching another region. Does that mean the region cannot touch it on the side at all? Later in the game when there are few spaces left a single region may eventually touch another. For example Ice touching desert. Perhaps there is a big chunk of ice going on three different sides, but then one of those magnets touches desert. So could a segment of the region still count as the biggest and then win the card? Hope that makes sense.

[@WatchItPlayed]

For a region to satisfy the requirement (seen here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/raLXeoCGmc-Jnckfeature=shared&t=322) the one habitat cannot have any one of its sides touching the forbidden type, anywhere.

[@shadowwolf2192]

Omg this one was on a different shelf! Lol but srly, that’s a very unique and different game

[@WatchItPlayed]

I have to keep you guessing :)

[@HHHavenn]

I still dont understand who starts the rounds, because when i played i were always last to pick land. Also what is the purpose of the planet disk?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hey there, I'm always happy to try to help with rules questions, but if the answer is provided in the video, than I have to direct you there. You'll find an index in the description to help you find the section you might be looking for.

[@adriennekyzar493]

if you meet the requirement for populating your planet with a species, must you continue to meet this requirement as you add subsequent tiles in order to score a point for that animal at the end of the game?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Nope! Once you collect a card, it's yours.

[@alycepearce4361]

My boys and I got hung up on how to “count” a region if one of the area triangles can count as touching a region with one of its POiNTs only. Meaning - several areas can group together to be a larger region, but w an animal card that specifies which habitat a region CANNOT touch- can you count the area triangle as a region that only touches the TIP of the other habitat’s area? (does not share a side with the unpermitted habitat.) Basically, we got confused when several areas comprise a region, but the area triangles within it sometimes only share a point with the other type of habitat. We weren’t sure whether we could separate out the area triangles in a region that did not share a side. Confusing! Hope you can answer this! Thanks!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hey Alyce, you'll find that covered here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/raLXeoCGmc-Jnck Hope that helps.

[@MarinerOrk]

2:41 you said doo doo

[@MarinerOrk]

On a serious note, this game looks fun. Reminds me of Bunny Kingdom and Micropolis which are already in my collection.

[@Gryfont]

What is the suggested age for this game? It looks great, but I am wondering just how young a child it would be appropriate for.

[@WatchItPlayed]

I always think the age suggestions are really better decided by the person making the purchase, because honestly, some young kids can play very complex games, and some adults have trouble with very easy ones It's going to depend on so many personal factors.

[@jelisbelis9874]

Where's my Lithuanian fellows

[@olgassamson5430]

Silly question, but can you change how you place the tiles on your planet? Or is it once its on the planet the first time, its done?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hey Olgas, once placed, the tiles has to stay there.

[@olgassamson5430]

@@WatchItPlayed that helps thank you!

[@jackfawn]

Is the animal cards order random each game?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Yes, they are shuffled.

[@michaelemerson570]

Tell me the truth Rodney - are those boxes empty when you flip them in the air??

[@WatchItPlayed]

Isn't life more exciting when there's a little more mystery to it? :)

[@flaviolepri5539]

Today we have a 360 side flip with a large (beautiful) box and a final bottom hold. I'll add that Rodney also simultaneously flipped 4 planet cores which is impressive for non superhuman beings. Final score takes for granted I'm not objective at all an totals up to a big fat 10/10. Thanks for reading this foolish analysis. Subscribe!
