Got this game in 2021 and this is still the best run through out there. Real talent!

[@aidananderson817]

Never could have figured out how to play without your video. The instructions hat come with the game are terrible. Thanks for making it so much easier. We love the game.

[@cheocordoba5590]

Hello Richard I watched your tutorial a few times before I felt confident. You were very helpful and now my partner and I have a new favorite game! We are thinking of going for the longer version now! thank you and also I enjoy your other vids. take care

[@bridgetmoynihan1539]

Thank you SO much! My fiancé and I bought this game with no real background in strategy games and had NO idea what we were doing from the instructions or from the online blogs we found. Your video saved us, thank you!

[@daniosu]

My husband and I were convinced you were Jeff Goldbloom until 40:30 - great video!

[@joeldalangin2427]

I've said the same thing when I first started watching Richard's videos.

[@faile819]

Thank you so much for this. I read through the instructions but none of it was "clicking." Actually seeing this in action was incredibly helpful. Now to cement the learning by playing it myself. :)

[@JoachimErdtman]

I love your gameplay walkthroughs Richard. All Creatures Big and Small certainly looks like a hit with Agricola fans. Your enthusiasm is quite contagious.

[@Artem_Safarov]

Exceptionally useful as always, Richard, thanks so much! I am always excited to see that you've covered a game I need to learn.

[@styjoy]

Just got this game today, and checked your channel for run through immediately. It cleared out a few rules for me. I have no idea why, but the price has inflated a lot everywhere. I was lucky to get it from a warehouse for a fraction of its 'normal' price, just because some careless workers put the German game board into a English box making it a 'faulty return' I guess. As long as the rule book's in English, I don't care. Even if the whole thing's in German, I wouldn't care. That's why we have you. Thank you for the good work Rahdo.

[@nocheesie]

38:23 "Oh boy it's getting tight. Which is good for her." LOL!

[@billcashman5900]

Your videos are wonderful. I get a lot of enjoyment watching them. Thank you.

[@FrankEnanoza]

Thanks for posting this vid! It helped!Just played it for the first time a few hours ago and this video gave me ideas. I have most of the gameplay and rules together and I am still figuring out a strategy or so, but I am definitely going to play it again.

[@BadFish81]

Thanks for this video! I like to know a game well before subjecting other people to a match, and it's SOOO much easier to learn through a video like this than reading th directions a dozen times.

[@paramnesic]

Great vid. Love your runthroughs. While I had already ordered the game, this made me want to sit down and play it even more.

[@nocheesie]

Such a modest gamer. Loved your playthrough. Thank you!!

[@IAmGabrielWells]

great video. Easy to follow and well-explained! thanks for teaching my girlfriend and I all about simulated animal husbandry.

[@lyg]

Your reviews are great and very helpful to understanding the games I'm interested in. Keep it up!

[@bung1975]

I downloaded the PDF of the rules from Z-Man Games and they state that you lose points if you have 3 or fewer of an animal. You stated 4 - thought I'd point out that little discrepancy. You still did a fantastic job showing how the game plays!

[@llamalovesab]

Great video! Thanks for the information! We found out we were playing it wrong by not adding to the animals if they had two on the squares, and also the start player too! hehehehe

[@Ulfnarr]

brilliant explanation of all the game's features!

[@fullanalysis93]

This game looks amazing. Honestly I like it just for the animeeples if nothing else (but certainly not -- wow!).

[@HugeBig]

dude you sound like Jeff Goldblum!!! :) thank you for this vid we are just starting to play this helped clarify the gameplay THANK U!!

[@Hoodlumsx4]

Thanks for the video. I was undecided on whether or not to buy the game and after watching the video, I bought it. I can't wait to play. Thanks again!

[@temporaryscars]

I was thinking more along the lines of Garfield Minus Garfield. Btw, the next morning, after watching your video, I went out and bought this game. Great stuff. The wife loves it.

[@BalrajSingh-gg3qm]

excellent run through, thank you for this

[@TheIvalen]

NM - answered later in the video. Thanks for great vids.

[@Markkartur]

That placement at 26:40 was so dumb i started laughing, all while saying "this was a smart move from her". Excellent video btw.

[@bung1975]

Well, that was an excellent video! Also, I'm going to have to pick this up soon. My wife and I enjoyed Agricola and when I explained this game to her, she was sold. And it looks like it'll be perfect when our daughter is sleeping!

[@elisewright5319]

Awesome video! I'm pumped to play now :)

[@Bbluesound]

I just watched your video, after watching your Top 10 Ume Rosenberg video, scrambled to get the game and only paid $6 more than MSRP for the Big Box edition.

[@alexmatusiak]

Makes sense. Our copy lives next to Tahiti in our luggage :)

[@marcoschaub8978]

That's so cute. A young and not yet jaded Rahdo. (You're still not jaded, don't worry. ;-)) Did you ever pick up the expansion? It's only buildings, but since it introduces a ton of variety without changing anything else, I think you should like it.

[@rahdo]

yup, i did eventaully get both expansions

[@howtoandreview1182]

Super as usual

[@alexmatusiak]

I first watched this review almost a year ago, my first in your series, and have been following ever since. My wife and I play Agricola at least once a week and while we love "ACB&S" we never choose it over Agricola "prime" anymore (the expansion invigorated our love temporarily). Do you find the same is true with you and Jen?

[@lymn2002]

your voice makes viewing extremely enjoyable, what do you do for a living sir

[@TheIvalen]

At 18:49 when you bred the sheep and kicked out the horse - why did you have to kick out the horse when the house can hold two animals? Is it because you can't mix animals on the same space?

[@Monkeyb00y]

I thought I was the only one that played with 2 people, by myself. I would like to get this game so my wife can enjoy it as well.

[@VidavisPrime]

When Jen bought the second stall, might it have been more useful for her to have upgraded the first stall since she had 5 stone?

[@rahdo]

Vidavis Prime that would have been a smart move :)

[@VidavisPrime]

I think this game looks like a lot of fun!

[@TheDebawv]

***** Why at 18:50 can you not keep both the horse and the sheep? There is a 2 in the lower right hand corner of your building there.

[@rahdo]

the problem is that you can only keep one animal type on any spot in the board (in a building or a fenced pasture), so the sheep & the horse would not co-exist in the building...

[@andizzle195]

Is this game not available anymore? I can’t find it on amazon or a game shop I got to which always has every game (where a lot of other shops around me have really poor availability). I love Agricola but this seems like a nice small version of it when I or people I play with don’t feel like the full Agricola haul.

[@rahdo]

yup, definitely out of print. i guess you'll have to go on ebay or boardgamegeek marketplace www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/255262/agricola-all-creatures-big-and-small-big-box/marketplace/geekmarket

[@andizzle195]

rahdo darn. Thanks for the reply, keep up the quality videos!

[@bung1975]

I was mistaken. The wording clearly threw me off. That and my lack of coffee intake. Sorry about that - I bow to the master. :)

[@joeldalangin2427]

Richard, could you recommend a game that plays like this but supports 4-5 people? I have Agricola, La Granja, and Caverna and I think this would be perfect for my wife and kids but it only supports 2 players. Thanks.

[@rahdo]

+Joel Dalangin umm, maybe stone age?

[@jonofpdx]

Joel Dalangin you obviously like the farming theme so Scoville might be a good fit. But it doesn't have the "building" element.

[@twinkle04evr]

It seems like the game too short to do everything we need, only 8 turns?

[@rahdo]

its surprising what you can pull off :)

[@kosterix123]

If at play end I don't have any pigs do I lose 3 points??

[@rahdo]

here's a link to the rules: www.zmangames.com/uploads/4/7/1/7/47170931/en-agricola-2p-rules.pdf they do a pretty good job of explaining... check the last page :)

[@kosterix123]

thanks man!

[@TimsonDevelop]

Where can I buy this in the UK?

[@rahdo]

i'm not sure... certainly via ebay or boardgamegeek marketplace if no one has it for sale new...

[@TimsonDevelop]

Thanks Rahdo! It's like 100 USD in the UK on ebay :(

[@ABirdOnTheMoon]

TimsonDevelop you can try travellingman game shops in Leeds or Manchester. You can go shop in their online store btw :)

[@ronburgundy9802]

I buy a lot of stuff on amazonuk that I can't get here in Germany. Should work both ways 🤔 English rules u should find on BGG

[@temporaryscars]

He's George Stobbart, duh.

[@jackfiasco3021]

BUT WHERE IS JEN??!?!!!?

[@rahdo]

faq.rahdo.com #1 :)

[@djkretz]

More like Clint Eastwood

[@jorunholm9060]

Your crazy

[@temporaryscars]

I like to imagine that you don't really have a wife, you just like to pretend you do. It makes these videos much more sad and dramatic!

[@kosterix123]

how to present a simple game in the most chaotic way ever.

[@rahdo]

Kosteri x genuine unscripted gameplay can be chaotic, it is true

[@BigFatTonys]

Also, Jen may surprise you with strategy & tactics that you had not thought of.

[@BigFatTonys]

Your gonna have to have Jen in one of these videos or people are going to start to think that Jen is your imaginary friend !!! I like your style of video making.
