Ra Gameplay Runthrough

[@bakermitchell6209]

Man.....such a good game, and Rahdo does such a good job of talking through the gameplay thought process......I can feel the tension at every turn!! I am clicking "back" on the new RA kickstarter!

[@goyasolidar]

Introducing the Rahdo Runs Through drinking game: Take a drink every time Richard forgets whose turn it is. Seriously though, I think it's high time you invest in a current player marker. You've had this ongoing issue for years!

[@landscaperben]

I'm scared that even when Rahdo isn't playing games he is always thinking, what would Jen do and then have a conversation with himself about said situation, and then people nearby to him would think, who's that crazy man talking to himself!!!! But what would Jen do......? hehehe

[@imthewhiterabbit]

Wow, the classics keep on coming these days ;).

[@Paul-ro6py]

Thanks for the overview, doing research for the new edition.

[@powertopeople1]

Fifth video on ra I watched,I now know how to play thanks to your video, Great video thanks

[@rahdo]

glad to hear it! :)

Best auction game of all time without a shadow of a doubt and for me, top 3 designs of all time.

[@IanM92]

For Sale or Medici?

[@animula8322]

@@IanM92 Those are my top 2 bidding games and I haven't played Ra yet. You've got a good taste!

[@stuartklimek9425]

Floods count like rivers, i.e., Jen did not gain only 1 point but 3 in the first epoch. True, the floods are discarded after scoring and the other river tiles are retained for the following epoch(s).

13’33” Jen’s turn. You can just count the tiles to see if you lose track.

[@veggieh8r]

Ooh you're playing the GOOD version! I really dislike what Fantasy Flight did with the reprint.

[@lystic9392]

That version is so tough to find >_< I found a German version and will try to replace the text on the board with English.

[@alioolio]

*Spoiler* @ 17:00 Nooooooooooooooo! :*D Best reaction ever! ... I know the feeling!!

[@SGFlicksify]

Think a simple reflective board out of shot on your left would improve the lighting, Rahdo - just suggesting! (Used to do a fair bit of photography) Otherwise, enjoyed the playthrough - gameplay now fully understood.

[@rahdo]

yeah, i've been living out of suitcases for the last 4 months, so the lighting has definitely suffered greatly. in august we're making our final move and hopefully once i'm settled I'll be able to setup something more permanent with better quality

[@masterbridgemaster1]

Did the rules change from the older version to the most recent one? Jen should have gotten 3 points for her 2 flood tiles + 1 Nile tile, instead of just 1 (and then of course she would lose her 2 flood tiles as you had her do).

[@Grimlock1979]

No, he just goofed. It's 3 points.

[@PauloRenato23]

noted... thanks

[@stevenmcgoldrick8552]

Do you and Jen use the -5 rule when scoring the suns at the end? I felt that it was too swingy with two. Just started playing and loving it otherwise.

[@rahdo]

yup, we've always played that way :)

[@stevenmcgoldrick8552]

@@rahdo thanks. I'll keep playing with it and see. Adds a bit more strategy to the game, I'm sure.

[@zakwasny]

10:10 - 2 is enough, right?

[@rahdo]

maybe, but if i bid with a 2, then jen is *much* more likely to outbid me, because she doesn't want me to get that collection for so cheap. but if i start at 5, then she's maybe less likely to take it from me because she feels i'm paying a fairer price

[@thearttower4801]

Top 3 for me.

[@mbrochh82]

I'm super confused. Is this a re-release of an older video? I swear I must have seen this video like a few weeks ago already?!?!

[@smoothcriminal28]

It was a quick rundown I think. Not a bona fide runthrough lol

[@kevinqueen6246]

Part of showing the game is teaching people to play, having someone bid their lowest token was outside of logic

[@rahdo]

i'm not trying to teach how to play the game

[@TheFilipFonky]

If you pick a tile you cannot invoke Ra. You can only invoke him at the start of your turn before deciding to pick a tile.

[@PauloRenato23]

timestamp please

[@TheFilipFonky]

@@PauloRenato23 I don't plan on rewatching the video. The mistake happens multiple times when he uncovers a tile and decides to invoke Ra, which as I mentioned breaks the rules because you can only invoke him before picking a tile of your own.

[@PauloRenato23]

@@TheFilipFonky I'm not going to watch it either... just found it a bit odd that if that mistake happens so many times that in almost 4 months no one reported it

[@PauloRenato23]

I just rewatched the first 10 minutes of the video and not seen a single time where this mistake you report was made... will stop there. Thanks

[@TheFilipFonky]

@@PauloRenato23 Oh yeah the ra tiles messed me up
