Point City Review - Building Out Your City One Card At A Time

[@seymour_krelborn]

One amendment to the tutorial. At 1:05, you flip an entire row. The rule is you can flip one (and only one resource card in a column or row that is all reaources before you take the rest of your turn.

[@AzgarthX]

2:30 just fyi, you cant draft two building if you dont have ALL the resources available before drafting them. You are not allowed to draft 2 buildings with the goal of using one resource that that building generates to pay for the other remaining building since those resources aren't available until your next turn.

I got slightly excited when I saw the art, feeling it would be a game on the same vein as point salad. Afte the review it's a no-brainer to get it. Whether I back the crowdfunding campaign or get it as retail, it's clearaly a must-have! (I jsut wish it played at higher counts, like Point Salad supporting up to 6 players, but I can see clearly the argument that at higher player count it would be unmanageable).

[@ianarmstrong310]

Gotta play this audio back at half speed to understand!

[@BoardGameCo]

Tell that to the people who tell me they watch at two time speed :)

[@DaweDelete]

Same here, I had to set playback speed to 0.75. :D

[@boardgamemusic]

Just watched the review randomly for fun. I like the simplicity of the game. Good video, thank you :)

[@cwaddle]

Seems very similar to Splendor. Looks very good

[@sapien01010]

Came here to say that

[@michaelblank9597]

Thanks for the tutorial. Will back the game. Great Channel.

[@Paul-ro6py]

Thanks for the review. will look to try it, as we enjoy Point Salad as a filler.

[@the_sea_otter]

Quick Question: If there are no buildings in a row or column, are you suppose to flip all in that row or column or are you only suppose to flip one? I was just asking because in Rahdo's video he only flipped one resource into a building if there were none in a row or column. Still planning on backing this game. Really liking what I see.

[@nerdsomnia]

Great video, great breakdown. SIGNED UP!

[@JJ_TheGreat]

9:04 Splendor also has that aspect… This game seems comparable to Splendor.

[@Moodman002]

I will try to play this game next family get together.

[@Listan1]

How’s replayability feel? The other simple engine builder card-based game I’ve played/owned is Fantastic Factories, and it felt like I had seen all the cards in the first game and I wasn’t excited about discovering more and couldn’t see playing it more than a few times. This may be a different type of card game where the joy is not in the card powers or combos but in the quick and snappy and smart card play, meaning it does have good replayability.

[@warholcow]

Wow. This game feels confusing to me. Maybe I just need to run through a couple more times.

[@maxf.7262]

Ty for this video!

[@ianw0ng]

visually reminds me of machi koro.

[@cobtyrannon2479]

This is completely unintuitive to me. The cost should be top-left and the generated ressources should be bottom......

[@ilqrd.6608]

Agreed, threw me off as well. If the resources would be at the bottom. you could simply stack the cards to only show bottom effects

[@chuck00x]

Totally agree. Seems almost universal how that is represented in most games.

[@AzgarthX]

@@ilqrd.6608 doesnt make sense, how would you then see the score values and civic symbols for the cards then if those are now covered up as well? All the info is on the top of the card stack the cards in your city so that only the top is shown. It's not rocket science. Stack them how they stack in a game of solitaire. Look up a pic of how they do it. Simple...

[@7mikeyortiz7]

Omg you just convinced me not to get the game because of this. You’re so right 😭

[@cobtyrannon2479]

@@7mikeyortiz7 Oh come on, don't be like that

[@Kensai_]

People. Just use x0.75 please.

[@Starsword1989]

I actually like his speed of delivery. For 10 min I got more content than other hosts.

[@Kensai_]

I prefer it, too. But people have been complaining about his talking speed lately.

[@lukedavis3953]

Alex seems like he’s just trying to get through it not really highlight the game. 😬

[@TheMrE]

@@Starsword1989 Assuming one can understand what he’s saying. I swear I didn’t understand several words, “xxxx resources” right at the beginning of the video was particularly bad. I don’t mind the speed (cough, Rahdo, cough), but for the love of all that is mighty, do make an effort and enunciate better.

[@mikaeki5245]

It's shocking for me that people find him speaking too fast. For me, Alex speaks in a normal pace, at least when comparing to the Dice Tower crew who all speak iiincreeeadiibly slooow, so so that I can't watch their live stuff. Alex I watch on 1.25x or 1.5x, Dice Tower always on 1.75x or 2x. And this is not a brag or anything, I was genuinily surprised by this since I am not a native english speaker.
