3 mins into the vid and I'm sold! the idea is so interesting!!!

[@martinmamone7553]

Century Spice Road applied to a nice theme and with great components

[@laartwork]

That was my first thought. This has a visual result that is more appealing.

[@romain7836]

Very clever way to use transparent cards ! Jen is surely a nice player : at 8:28, I would definitely have taken the first card to have a temporary monoply on imagination (but it is only because I am a very mean player).

[@ytubebrowser7560]

I notice we can see the backs of the transparent cards. Is there concern people would begin to recognize the backs and plan ahead?

[@rahdo]

we didn't find it a problem, but if you are worried about it, you can draw from the bottom of the deck instead of the top :)

[@nicholaskotelensky9277]

Kickstarter shipping soon. So excited!

[@Choose2Connect]

Me: You don't have to buy the game to appreciate it's genious... Also me: I'll forget this game in a month if I don't buy it now!

[@CasperMile]

What do people do with all the sleeves that come with the game? I was using it to put my final painting. But there are way too many sleeves. Am I supposed to sleeve every art card? Help, please.

[@rahdo]

nope they're just for putting together the paintings as you go :)

[@doylay]

It looks amazing and because you love it I’m going to back it on Kickstarter 👊🏻

[@ekconley6429]

I've been waiting for this one since the March roundup! Great video, thank you! Gorgeous game and mechanisms, components and game play looks really interesting. Follow this game with Dixie or Mysterium... loke you just made canvases for those games, maybe even use the ones you made in Canvas! I do wish the objective cards used in the rundown were shown and described at the beginning. I watched twice and I'm still not entirely sure I understand them. I think I got the gist... certainly enough to get a feel for the game. Thanks again!

[@rahdo]

you can probably download the rules on the kickstarter page, which should have descriptions of how all the objectives work :)

[@ekconley6429]

Right you are! Sorry, I didn't think of that! Thanks again!

[@jenwashi921]

Not only beautiful, but also very thinky?! I am in 🤩😁 Can't way to have it in my hands🤭😅

[@Shagratt71]

Take my money!, love the theme, artwork, mechanics

[@kosterix123]

mechanics? It is set collection.

[@ekconley6429]

@@kosterix123 according to BGG, mechanisms also include card drafting, hand management, melding and splaying, and increase value of unchosen resources.

[@zeekslider]

19:45 - Uhm, yes you can purchase that card. The three tokens on the previous card are from Player 2. You still have all four of your tokens, which means you could buy it. You'd just be setting up Player 2 to have a surplus of tokens, which increases their purchasing power should they take any of those cards.

[@itsmorphinetime]

Does Space require there to be a space between the two icons? I ask because you have three of the same color icons and then the triangle icon next to them. Wouldnt Space require there to be a space between those icons for it to count?

[@rahdo]

for each circle & triangle that you can identify that are not adjacent, you score. the space between them can be filled by something else (even another circle or triangle) iirc :)

[@itsmorphinetime]

@@rahdo Ah gotcha! Thanks for clearing it up. Fantastic overview, which I immediately backed after watching

[@RJrod34]

Don't you only get one green score tile for your second canvas since the triangles are adjacent? Isn't the condition NON-adjacent triangles to score the green "Space" tile?

[@PauloRenato23]

timestamp please

[@RJrod34]

@@PauloRenato23 about the 22:35 mark

[@PauloRenato23]

It's not Non-Adjacent Triangles... It's a Color Icon and a Triangle Icon Non-Adjacent to each other, and he has 2 of those pairings

[@bgm-1961]

So this game looks to be merely a set collection game which is played using only the bottom fourth of the cards. I.e., the top 3/4 of each card is totally superfluous. Am I missing anything? On further thought, I could say the same sort of thing about 'Museum'. So that being said, for a 2nd question, would this replace 'Museum'?

[@rahdo]

this is a more challening puzzle to set collect well, and it it plays in half the time, so those would be considerations against museum i guess :)

[@bgm-1961]

@@rahdo OK, that's a solid difference between the two. So I guess there's room for both on the shelf. Thanks!

[@TorIverWilhelmsen]

At 8:05 he pays with his own inspiration instead of Jen's to let Jen skip a card

[@stevenmcgoldrick8552]

Are there any problems with card market stagnation at two like Century Spice Road?

[@rahdo]

i don't think so, game is too short to stagnate. everyone will very quickly have 5 cards in hand, 3 ofwhich then *must* be played, whether you like it or not

[@stevenmcgoldrick8552]

@@rahdo thanks for the reply. Might have to back.

[@gerasimos5491]

Hello Richard! I can say that the game seems very attractive. However need your answers before backing. Does this reminds you of kanagawa at all? I mean in terms of mechanics. I love kanagawa, but it's a simple set collection game with fairly deep strategy and tactics. I also see soothing like kanagawa diplomas here too. Is this similar? Set collection with some push your luck elements etc? Is there anything else except matching symbols to generate points? In other words, the selection of the prints is driven from best matching symbs or your are somehow free to follow your artistic side to create the most appealing painting? Thanks!!

[@rahdo]

both lovely set collection games driven by a card draft. i think canvas is definitley the heavier game, as the combo seeking is severaly hampered by the small hand size. and the draft works better for 2. but at higher player counts, i think kanagawa is probably the better package

[@gerasimos5491]

@@rahdo thank you Richard! As my most plays are with my girlfriend it seems a very good choice. Thanks again!

[@kosterix123]

builders: antiquity meets sunset over water, aka mystic vale done right. I wonder if the solo is any good. I back it because the box looks like something you can gift to a girl as a present.

[@stevenmcgoldrick8552]

Looks like beat your own score. Nice card blocking mechanism though.

[@mattfikes9680]

Based on the KS, the box can be hung on the wall like art too!

[@kosterix123]

​@@stevenmcgoldrick8552 yes. But no idea if it is any fun in practice. I intend to make the pnp, but then that has no transparent effect.

[@kosterix123]

@@mattfikes9680 it's the new solution to shelf space shortage!

[@plmnw]

why Mystic Vale done right? haven't played it but am interested so would love to know what you meant in more detail :)

[@samsimmons4796]

Backed. Thanks!

[@geurt681]

Forgive me when I’m wrong but the upper part of the card is just some sort of flavour text? What I mean to say: you don’t score points for creating the most beautiful painting. If that is the fact I think that Canvas is just all about having the right amount of icons or the right collection of icons. Maybe I’m a bit too much ‘down too earth” but I really don’t see the ‘woow’ factor of this game. It indeed looks like Century but without the cubes!.

[@GeorgiosD90]

Its a simple set collection game, the artwork is just a nice addon nothing more.

[@hgbnkbggj2915]

Hello. How does this compare with Pastiche please?

[@rahdo]

oh i'd much rather play this one. pastiche was nice but didn't really grab us

[@hgbnkbggj2915]

@@rahdo awesome! Many thanks good sir.

[@AnkitGarg]

So in a 4 player game, 3 out of 5 cards will not be there by your next turn (you said 4 out of 5). Also you'll probably be closely watching cards coming up when every player draws a new one right? I'm not saying you'll not be bored till your next turn, but there will probably be something to do. There is no player interaction in this so I'll probably pass, but it is an interesting game.

[@Daye04]

Wait. The first new card that was drawn. Rahdo said "imminent". And that makes sense with the art on the card. But the name written on the card is "eminent". Which makes less sense. Which is wrong?

[@rahdo]

hehe, art is up to interpretation! :)

[@Daye04]

@@rahdo okay, so you just misspoke, then? That's a shame. I liked the "imminent" connotation 😛

[@jamescartwright1150]

Looks very interesting. Rahdo have you tried the solo rules for this game?

[@rahdo]

nope, they weren't ready when i filmed this (over a month ago iirc)

[@Sjamesbrito]

Pretty cool!

[@daodasbrot4817]

Thx for tis video, but could it be, that you totally don't look at the pictures? Only at the Icons and the bonus you get? When I look at Peacfull Surrender from Jen, that just looks crappy, but is maybe the best she could do. A pitty for such a great looking game.

[@GeorgiosD90]

You are right. It is one of those games, where you care more about how to get points than to do what the theme intended.

[@jameswoodard4304]

Hey, it's an art deck...oh. I couldn't help myself. Get it? Art Deco!!! Ha!

[@NerdFitters]

Niceeeeeeeeeee

[@mariere5933]

Why don't you lay down the cards on the colorful backgrounds, it would look much nicer on the video! :D
